| Can a high end cpu with low end gpu cause lag in Minecraft? Posted: 27 Apr 2021 03:44 AM PDT I currently have an 10900KF with a RX 570, as I haven't been able to purchase a new gpu due to shortages. I experience a few framedrops in Minecraft, but I know that Minecraft is very cpu dependent. Can this still be caused by my gpu? Edit: fixed it by reinstalling Java and using sodium Edit 2: The RX 570/580 are actually midrange, not low end. I phrased the title wrong, as I am not a native speaker. I meant the difference in performance compared to a faster gpu. Edit 3: Wow, how did this simple post asking for help skyrocket? Thank you for all answers and suggestions! Edit 4: 1.1k upvotes on a help post is insane! Thanks for all the upvotes, advice, suggestions and awards. [link] [comments] |
| i might have a trash pre-built system but i love reading your posts Posted: 27 Apr 2021 12:09 PM PDT you seem so happy about building pcs, upgrading your parts, it is really uplifting for a dude like me who tries to do the same [link] [comments] |
| Can I make my room colder by improving my PC thermals? Posted: 26 Apr 2021 07:39 PM PDT Right now my PC is making my room too hot when gaming. My rx 580 reaches 75°C/167 and my ryzen 5 5600 runs at 65° C at most when gaming. My case gets hot at touch and my room becomes hot to the point its bothering me. I have 5 120mm deepcool fans (2 Intake and 3 outtake) and have been thinking of changing at least two of them for the be quiet! Shadow Wings 2 140mm. My case is the Macube 310
Thx guys. I won't be answer comment by comment because this post got bigger than I expected. I will try to under-volt my GPU and maybe get better fans just to be quieter. The problem is that I live in brazil and they are quite expensive here, something like 4-6x the price of the deepcool. [link] [comments] |
| What CPU to pair with 970 GTX 4GB in 2021? Posted: 27 Apr 2021 12:46 AM PDT Just got my hands on a good condition 970 GTX (4GB). I'm looking to build a somewhat budget build with it for mainly gaming as it's highest demand. I want the PC to last awhile before the next big upgrade. What would you pair this GPU with in today's market? I was thinking maybe something like a Ryzen 5 2600? Should I go more future proof and get the 3600? Also could you recommend me a motherboard as well that has built-in WiFi and/or bluetooth. I'd like it to be able to play games like Dark Souls 3, Witcher 3, and Borderlands 3 at a smooth 1080p 60FPS even if it has to be on low settings. EDIT: Forgot to include my budget limit, but I'm definitely going to go with an i5-10400f/11400f or Ryzen 5 3600. Either one with a budget motherboard around $140. [link] [comments] |
| AMD 5600x or Intel 10900K first build. Posted: 27 Apr 2021 07:42 AM PDT Hi, I'm building my first pc and I'm having a hard time to decide between AMD or Intel. I can get the 5600x for $390 and the Intel 10900K for $595. I'm going to pair the cpu with a rtx3070 and don't plan to stream. The purpose is mainly for gaming and occasional YouTube.

| Posted: 27 Apr 2021 10:04 AM PDT My old monitor recently stopped working and I was looking for a new one. I've seen a lot of different options and I've brought it down to 4 monitors but I'm not sure which of them is the best. Anything I should know or opinions about the following monitors? MSI Optix G271 Acer Nitro XV240Y Pbmiiprx MSI Optix MAG240CR MSI Optix G242 (Not sure if this is the right place or format if not, sorry) [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 27 Apr 2021 12:43 PM PDT what headphones should i get? preferably with a mic, and under or around €50, doesn't need to be like insane quality just something that'll work and not break in 3 months [link] [comments] |
| Will my Ryzen 5 1600 AF bottleneck a 3060? Posted: 27 Apr 2021 01:53 AM PDT There is a 3060 in stock for not mindblowingly scalper prices and I am wondering if it would be bottlenecked by my 1600 AF. I am currently running a 750 Ti and would like to upgrade. My motherboard only supports PCIe Gen 3 because it is B450, so would it be a good idea to later get a 3600 and a B550 board? I do not have much money right now so I cannot buy both at the same time. edit: my dad wont let me get it [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 27 Apr 2021 08:38 AM PDT Looking to get more frames in Warzone, I average around 80-100 frames but looking to get at 144. Should I upgrade my cpu or my gpu? GPU: Sapphire Radeon RX 5700 XT 8 GB PULSE Video Card CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 3.6 GHz 6-Core Processor For reference, I have 16 GB of RAM and play on 1080p. [link] [comments] |
| An important reminder on bottlenecks Posted: 27 Apr 2021 07:10 AM PDT In the past couple of days I've seen multiple posts asking if a certain 30~ series card would bottleneck an older CPU(I myself made a similar post) and if they should wait to upgrade. My personal belief is that if you are able to obtain a graphics card at a low price or slightly above msrp, you should buy it. According to both Nvidia and AMD, the GPU shortage will most likely last into 2022, and according to Linus and Snazzy (From LinusTechTips & Snazzylabs respectfully) the shortage could theoretically last until late 2022 & 2023. People need to stop making out bottlenecks to be these awful things. A bottleneck just means your system runs hotter than normal, and your GPU doesn't get it's full desired performance. In the current state of the GPU market, when you aren't sure when you'll be able to upgrade, I would buy a card and let it bottleneck, as it's easier to find CPUs to upgrade in the future than GPUs. TLDR: Don't worry about bottlenecking, if your able to find a GPU at a low price, take it, as we don't know how long the shortage will last, and it'll be hard to find similar prices later.

| RTX 3070 Very High Temperature During Gaming Posted: 27 Apr 2021 02:24 PM PDT Hi, I got to say that I'm a bit of what you'd call a PC noob; having built my first pc 4 months ago, I've recently run into a temperature problem with my Nvidia RTX 3070 Founder Edition. (In case you need this info: I'm running a Ryzen 5 5600x on an Asus Prime A520M-K, with 16 GB of RAM. I've got a Coolermaster MB520 Case, 3 120mm fans [1200 RPM] on the front of the case and an exhaust in the back). GPU Idle temp: 40-42C GPU Gaming temp: 75-82C (Medium-High Settings) Room temp: 20-22C. A bit of context. I got myself Assassin's Creed Unity, and as soon as I launched it, my GPU started to make a weird buzzing noise. I realised it's actually a coil whine. It's not super loud but still noticeable. I played with the graphic settings for AC Unity, and pulled a medium-high customization. The coil whine got reduced, but it isn't gone. The problem though, is that my GPU reaches 82C after a bit of playing the game. It fluctuates between 67-75C for the first 10-20 min, then goes all the way to 80+, and during more demanding bits (cut scenes and in the game menu), it reaches 83C. I only played WOW and Dota 2 on the PC before, and there were no problems whatsoever (not exactly demanding games, I guess). I then got myself the Witcher 3 to see how it behaves, and it got the same problems as AC Unity, high GPU temp. (I should probably mention that the fans on the GPU don't seem to go above 32% unless I make a custom fan curve). I researched undervolting, got MSI Afterburner and actually managed to get the GPU temp between 45-55C (gaming), reducing the Voltage by 50mV (on the Voltage/Frequency curve, Idk what I'm doing) and it seemed all right…until I alt-tabbed from the game and my pc restarted. I benchmarked in Ungine Heaven, and everything was stable. Without changing anything with Afterburn, the GPU wouldn't go past 67C. I tried a few more things but nothing seems like a solid solution. If you guys could help me out, I would really appreciate it. I am willing to add/replace fans, maybe even an AIO for the GPU if you think that will do the job. Thanks. [link] [comments] |
| My brothers 3070 seems to have kicked the bucket Posted: 27 Apr 2021 07:21 AM PDT
Hi guys hoping someone could help me out or give me some advice! My brother was watching a YouTube video and he heard a "tsk" sound... was the best way he could describe it. His computer then completely shut down. Since then his PC can turn on (ram leds and fans turn on) but the fans in the graphics aren't spinning and his screen is black. We took out the card and it very hot which is strange as he has a good fan setup (noctua). When plugged back in it didn't really help at all but then we could hear the audio of him getting discord messages when we turned the pc back on. So we must have been on his home screen. I would of thought we wouldn't of been able to get that far without the graphics card. Tried different ports (hmdi/do) no luck. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated! [link] [comments] |
| Does the Ryzen 5 5600x work with G-Skill 3600Mhz RAM? Posted: 27 Apr 2021 02:22 PM PDT I had decided to start to build a PC with the following parts, Ryzen 5 5600x, G-Skill RGB 3600Mhz CL18 Memory, RTX 3070, MSI MAG B550 Tomahawk Motherboard, Samsung 970 Evo 250GB, and a Corsair RMx 750+ Gold Power Supply. I cannot test if the memory works since I do not have my graphics card yet. [link] [comments] |
| PC freezes, followed by USB disconnect sound Posted: 27 Apr 2021 12:38 PM PDT As the title says, my screen randomly freezes, followed by windows' usb disconnect sound, and then it all freezes completely including even my RGB fans. I have no idea what triggered this issue, i looked inside the PC and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. Is my PSU failing or something? [link] [comments] |
| Did I just ruin my new motherboard? Posted: 27 Apr 2021 06:37 AM PDT My old motherboard got damaged so I had to replace it. While screwing the CPU fan I didn't realize that it was not properly aligned to the backplate. So I managed to expand the CPU fan hole, is this enough for it to ruin my new motherboard and will I have to replace it? [link] [comments] |
| How to make sure my components are working properly? Posted: 27 Apr 2021 01:22 AM PDT Hey guys, so I recently upgraded my RAM + got a 3080 and wanted to figure out how I can test them? I don't feel like I'm getting enough of a FPS boost from slotting in my 3080 ( upgraded from a 1070) as some games still won't hit 144 frames. Could this be because I'm using a 600 watt PSU? Or is it my i5 8600k bottle necking the GPU? The GPU is consistently rating like bottom 10% of all 3080s on userbenchmark, but another post told me that userbenchmark scores should never be trusted. Any thoughts would be appreciated! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 27 Apr 2021 11:31 AM PDT Today I swapped my CPU, Motherboard, RAM and a new Boot SSD and thew out my old 60 gig SSD which was my bootdrive until today. I've used a tool to read out the windows key from my old installation and entered it after installing windows on my "new" PC but it doesnt let me activate windows. I've even logged in with my microsoft account, but still nothing... Does anyone here have an idea what to do other than buying a new license? I still have the old SSD if that helps. Thanks :) [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 27 Apr 2021 03:00 PM PDT I only have an HDD for my PC (yet to be built) and wanted it to boot up fast since my current one takes 15 minutes. Ik that I need a good M.2 and was wondering which would be reccomended for fast boot up times (and incase there's a compatibility thing my motherboard is the Tomahawk b450 max II) [link] [comments] |
| Shoutout to the EVGA queue program Posted: 27 Apr 2021 02:55 PM PDT I had completely forgotten that I signed up to buy a 3070 through EVGA's website and today, out of the blue I received the go ahead email to login and order a card. I was expecting the price to have been jacked up but at the top of the screen when I clicked the link in the email, there was a disclaimer saying that they will be honoring the original MSRP for people who are in the queue and receive the notification to order prior to May 14th. I was not expecting this at all and with the GPU shortage slated to get worse before it gets better, I am extremely thankful. To anyone who queued in November (like I did) and are still waiting on an email, there is still hope! Keep an eye on those emails! [link] [comments] |
| New pc build with olds hdd and ssd Posted: 27 Apr 2021 02:55 PM PDT So im building a new pc but i didnt buy any new hdd/ssd/m.2 and the pc turns on but theres no videos even tho everything seems to be fine. Is it being caused by the old drivers in the ssd? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 27 Apr 2021 11:06 AM PDT Hi all, I recently bought some parts to upgrade, I bought an MSI B450 gaming plus max from newegg and after putting my components together nothing happened when I tried to power it on. I went through every troubleshooting step in the book, made sure my power supply was functioning properly, tried powering it on with minimal components to see if I could get a post code, no dice no matter what I tried. I returned it for replacement and my new one is doing the exact same thing. Has anyone ever received two DOA mobos in a row or is there something I don't know about? [link] [comments] |
| [Is it a good PC Configuration?] Posted: 27 Apr 2021 02:49 PM PDT Processor: Intel Core i5-10400F GPU: GTX 1650 4GB Motherboard: AsRock B460M-HDV, LGA 1200 Power Supply: Gigabyte GP-P550B - 550W (Is it enough?) RAM: HyperX Fury 8GB 2666MHz SSD: XPG S41 TUF 256GB M.2 - Reading: 3500MB/s, Writing: 1000MB/s [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 27 Apr 2021 07:48 AM PDT I'm planning on getting the 11400F intel cpu but recently I found out you can't overclock this specific cpu. I could go for ryzen5600 but its a lot more then the 11400. should I stick with a non overlooking cpu or is overlooking that important!?? [link] [comments] |
