| Posted: 27 Feb 2021 02:53 AM PST I spent nearly 3 hours building a PC to realize I forgot to install the IO shield on the case. Please be mindful when you start building the PC. I ended up squeezing it in quite awkwardly to the case. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| My little brother and I are building his first PC today! Posted: 27 Feb 2021 09:07 AM PST So he is working up north (Canada) 14 days on 14 days off. He studied a lot and now make a good living so he finally decided to treat himself with a good rig! The only part he paid off msrp is his gpu, he got it 100$ over MSRP which isn't that bad at all considering the hardware itself! So we started to build it this morning, tryna show him little by little so he understand and can upgrade parts later on the road! Just sharing with the Reddit for fun !

| 60Hz TV seems locked at 30fps when I plug in hdmi cable to my computer. Posted: 27 Feb 2021 09:59 AM PST Ive heard this discussed somewhat before but couldnt really find a clear answer to why this happens. I have a Samsung Series 7 tv (not anything fancy, no gsync or hdmi 2.1) and im connecting it to my computer which has a Gigabyte RTX 3080 gaming OC. My old Xbox One X always was able to manage 60fps on this tv no problem using the same amazon hdmi cable (again not fancy lol). Obviously i checked my display adapter settings on my computer and it read that it was registering 59Hz which isnt quite right but close enough. Anyone know what i can do about this? I can provide more info if needed [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 27 Feb 2021 10:31 AM PST So I've been using macs for the past 15+ years for music production. I'm switching to PC. With the current parts shortage I have decided to go pre built. Also because I haven't built a PC in 20 years. So here's my list from cyberpower. For context I chose the ram speed and CPU because I run multiple drum libraries and for recording in general core count matters. Also. I will be gaming, however I do not want to spend 1k on a card so that's why I chose what I did. Seeing as I have not really been into hardware for a long time (Mac user problems lol) I'm out of touch. Will these parts give me good FPS in games like Warzone and Cyberpunk? And where did I overspend? I went with the AIO even though I've never water cooler (kind of old school here), because I've heard you should with a 5900X. Also went with 3600mghz ram because a lot of reviews suggest it. May expand to 32gb in the future [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Help needed with a PC that gets rebooted after launching CERTAIN games. Posted: 27 Feb 2021 08:59 AM PST Hi all. I've recently upgraded my PC parts, brought only my old 2 SSD's and my old GPU (1070Ti 8GB) Other specs: Case: Sharkoon PURE STEEL white RGB ATX PSU: Corsair CX750F RGB wh 750W RAM: ADATA DDR4 32GB 3200-16 CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X MOBO: Asus PRIME X570-P GPU: KFA2 GeForce GTX 1070 Ti (8GB) Storage: SSD 250gb x2 & Samsung 970 EVO Plus M.2 - 1TB Things i've done so far with the help/advice of friends: - Updated drivers on the old Windows install. - Unplugged GPU, plugged back in - Completely freshly installed Windows on m.2 and installed Nvidia drivers + used a driver updater software to make sure i haven't missed anything. - Stress tested the CPU for one hour: no complications - Benchmark tested the GPU (It's chill as ever) I can run games like GTA V /RS3 while streaming simultaneously. HELP?!?!?!? Edit: Also tried to switch RAM settings in BIOS to another profile (DOCP) Edit 2: Tried stresstesting CPU & GPU together. No issues. When booting up Apex it's still rebooting the PC. HWmonitor is used, MSi afterburner to check temps. No issues. Edit 3: We've used DDU to fix the right graphic drivers, we're currently using memtest86 to see what's wrong with the memory.

| Posted: 27 Feb 2021 12:50 AM PST Guys I'm trying to build my first budget gaming PC and I'm confused on where to start. I know the GPU I'll be getting is GTX 1660 (budget is 1000$ max). I don't have a lot of tech knowledge some people have recommended Ryzen while others are adamant on intel. Which one is better? [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Upgrade path for this build. All stores say upgrading GPU is a no go. Why? Posted: 27 Feb 2021 01:46 PM PST A friend of mine has the following build. He would like to upgrade his GPU, but all stores he contacted, said he could only go as far as 1660 super. Anything above that (1070ti, 1080/1080ti or anything above is a no go BECAUSE OF THE MOTHERBOARD). Can you help me try understanding why? If it was a PSU limitation, it would make sense to me. But when it comes to the MOBO, I don't understand their reasoning. GPU: MSI GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Gaming X 4G PSU: Seasonic S12II 520W SS-520GB SSD 2.5" Crucial MX500 250GB 3D TLC SATA CPU: Intel Core i5-7400 Motherboard: Micro-ATX Asus Prime B250M-A Disco HDD: Toshiba P300 1TB 7200RPM 64MB SATA III RAM G.SKILL Ripjaws V 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4-2400MHz CL15 Vermelha Thanks in advance!

| Ryzen 1700 in 2021 - hold or upgrade? where to go from here? (with 3080) Posted: 27 Feb 2021 09:58 AM PST Hello everyone, I'm looking to see if it's "worth" (I know that's subjective, but bear with me). upgrading my ryzen 1700. It's currently at base clock speeds with the stock Wraith Spire cooler (for some reason COD: Warzone doesn't play as friendly when I try to OC.) Specs I'm running the 1700 with a Sapphire Nitro+ 580x, but I have the ASUS TUF 3080 OC that I will be swapping. I'm also running 1440p/144hz with gysync/freesync (Asus TUF VG27AQ). Use case I do a fair amount of gaming, but also utilize the 8/16 for productivity. I know the 5600x/5900x is better value, but I'm going to keep it to 3700x/5800x for now. Ideally I can keep this computer for a couple more years. I'm running everything with a 750W 80+gold PSU and the ASROCK x370 Taichi.
As a side note: if anyone can give guidance as to why Warzone isn't OC friendly, or if I'm OC'ing it wrong, let me know). [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Newer custom built PC BSOD'd and now displays this: Posted: 27 Feb 2021 02:01 PM PST Hey folks, my newer computer, built in late 2019 has been hitting me with random BSOD's on win10 home (bought at a store) and is now giving me this screen: https://imgur.com/a/k3mMaCU .

| Pre and Post Inflation GPU Recommendations? Posted: 27 Feb 2021 11:44 AM PST Hi, recently my GPU died on me so I'm looking for suggestions on what I should replace it with. My Rig My rig as a whole is about 5 years old and consists of the following relevant components... CPU: AMD FX 8320 Power supply: Corsair 600W GPU 😵: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 950 What I'm Looking For I really liked my GPU, it did its job, so I can only imagine how much better my gaming experience could be with a more advanced model. Not looking for anything too fancy as long as it performs better, is reliable, and is compatible with my system. My budget is $300 and I'm really looking to know all my options here. Specifically, I'd really like to know what GPUs would look good for me now during inflation and what GPUs would look for me post-inflation if I were to wait until then to buy. Thanks in advance!

| I need help with my fan noise. Posted: 27 Feb 2021 01:52 PM PST I recently bought some RGB case fans for my PC. Once I was done installing them I edited the fan curves to my liking but the fans are still at 100% when they should not be. I have tried putting them to even all 0 then 20% when it hits 70°C but it is still at 100%. Does anyone know the problem here and how I should fix it?

| First time trying to get a high-end gaming PC - thoughts on specs? Posted: 27 Feb 2021 12:56 PM PST I've ordered a custom gaming PC but have the opportunity to amend any parts before it's built so thought it would be good to get some feedback and see if there are any issues or improvements that could be made, as I'm no expert at this. Specs: Motherboard: MSI MPG Z490 GAMING EDGE WIFI CPU: Intel Core i9-10900K GPU: MSI GeForce RTX 3080 SUPRIM X 10GB RAM: HyperX Predator RGB 16GB (2x 8GB) 3200MHz DDR4 Storage: - Kingston A2000 1TB SSD M.2 NVMe - Seagate 2TB BarraCuda Desktop Hard Drive 3.5" SATA III 7200RPM 256MB Cache PSU: Corsair TX850M 850W 80 PLUS Gold Semi-Modular PSU I'm not sure if the PSU will be sufficient on this? I'm considering changing the motherboard to one that supports PCI Express 4 too, but not sure if this will make much difference. Thanks in advance!

| Are there any boards that are guaranteed to work with Ryzen 5000 out of the box? Posted: 27 Feb 2021 12:55 PM PST Is it just a random chance that some will have the BIOS update and some won't? I don't really want to get another CPU just to get mine to work. [link] [comments] |
