    A couple friends and I built a "ghetto PC" for a friend who wanted to be as cheap as possible. After pooling our scrounged parts, this is what we ended up with. Behold! A true man's battlestation!

    Posted: 01 May 2021 12:27 AM PDT

    https://imgur.com/a/IkF51xB

    EDIT2: TODO; Put the reddit account link of the lad who built most of this (since I posted for all of us, but he never gave me his account name lol)

    Parts list:

    • asus rog strix GTX 1070 (from my old PC, had been collecting dust for ~¾ of a year)
    • Intel i7-7700 (free from a friend, found it in a drawer)
    • (the pictures show an h60, but after finding out the pump was busted, he ordered a hyper 212 evo. He's using a stock cooler in the mean time)
    • MSI Z270 gaming M6 AC (same origin as the cpu)
    • corsair vengeance lpx (2x8GB) (from another friends' old PC)
    • XFX TS 550W 80-plus gold (from the PC of a friend's little brother)
    • Samsung evo 250GB (grabbed secondhand for REALLY cheap, like $30cad) UPDATE: It was actually from a friend's old PC, so he got it for free, too!
    • WD black 1TB & 500GB (found them in a random drawer in my house, they're ancient)
    • some crate we found in an alley and cleaned up. No case fans
    • only a power button. No idea where it came from or who brought it in UPDATE: It was also ripped out of the little brother's PC, but it was originally the restart PC button. Since it was still a 1pin connector we just plugged it into the powerSW slot and it seems to work just fine!
    • zip ties o' plenty
    • cable management level: a s c e n d e d
    • yes, his headphones are hanging off of a binder clip

    Total amount that he paid for all this: ~$300cad (for neither party wanted to just give/ take the GPU for free, and he wanted to buy a CPU cooler). He only watched the build

    His total happiness level afterward: Maximum :)

    EDIT1: Holy shit, we did not expect this post to blow up to this degree! Here are some general responses to some of the most common questions/ responses:

    1. "How is this ghetto? These specs are better than mine!" - It's a PC that's made entirely out of hand-me-downs, and it's built into a crate with zero cable management. The fact that the parts are pretty good in of themselves is out of sheer luck, and some kindness, too. As for the "found a 7700 in a drawer," yeah we think it's as funny and ridiculous as you guys do! We didn't mean to shame any of your guys' builds either, since even if your specs aren't technically as good, it probably looks a thousand times better on your desk/ floor and won't run into ridiculous issues that a fully open DIY project like this will. If I didn't have the 1070 it would have been a 780 in there most likely!

    2. "Why didn't you guys just field a proper case? You probably could have found something for free just as easily as the crate!" - There actually is one, sitting right next to the build... The madlad insisted we use the crate instead.

    3. "What are the other things in frame? The monitor? The tablet?" - The monitor is an acer sa240y, though he can't remember where he got it. The tablet is a cintiq, which he got second hand on ebay for $250cad a couple years ago. The keyboard is a hand me down from his brother, and he has no idea what it even is. For the keen eyed people who noticed the mic, it's a unbranded clip on mic which is normally used for interviews. He apparently got it in china but he's not entirely sure. The mouse is a g502, and the mousepad is a random gel one he yoinked from his mom ages ago: It has tape on it because it started leaking! ... And yes, he has a pair of xm4's... He did buy them for %30 off (~$350cad), but that is indeed more than he's paid for this build so far. Question it all you want, he doesn't care!

    4. Because people were asking about his cintiq he told me to plug his pixiv, where he posts sometimes as a hobby. What a shill lmao

    EDIT3: Some general difficulties that we had while building this:

    1. There were no mountingpoints for the motherboard (or anything else, for that matter), so we drilled some holes and used zip ties wherever possible. Thankfully they were able to fit through the standoff holes on the motherboard itself!

    2. The issue of not knowing if it's ok to just let these parts sit on top of the plastic (particularly the mobo). Some of you guys brought this up, and we're already working on getting a little pad to put underneath it to act as a buffer. Made of a non-static inducing material, of course!

    5950x + M.2 SSD Crashes Computer, Same Issue with RMA'd 5950X

    Posted: 01 May 2021 10:56 AM PDT

    Hello everyone, I like to think I am fairly knowledgeable and competent when it comes to building and troubleshooting computers... but I am completely stumped on how to move forward with this issue. Any help is appreciated.

    ​

    Short version: anytime I attempt to run my computer with a 5950X and an M.2 SSD, the computer crashes. Running with a 5950X + sata SSD or 5800X + M.2 SSD works fine. I've replaced every single part and now my replacement 5950X is having the same issue.

    ​

    Long version

    1. June 2020 - I upgraded my computer to a R9 3950X + MSI MEG X570 UNIFY, kept all other parts from previous build.
    2. Oct 2020 - Bought a Samsung 970 EVO Plus 2TB in preparation for the 5950X launch
    3. Nov 2020 - Had to RMA my CPU and motherboard (was getting a "can't detect CPU" error code on the motherboard, both companies said to RMA)
    4. Dec 2020 - Finally was able to snag a 5950X for a Jan delivery date.
    5. Dec 2020 - Also managed to get a 3090 shortly after, installed in the old PC and worked fine (replaced 2080Ti).
    6. Jan 2020 - Installed 5950X and 970 EVO Plus SSD, reinstalled Windows, computer ran fine for a few days
    7. Jan 2020 - Start a game for the first time a few days later, crash within 15 minutes. Consistent crashed when the computer is either idle or in game. Weirdly, the computer could run overnight without crashes if it was CPU mining.
    8. Jan-Feb 2020 - Went through the below troubleshooting steps. Found that I could run the computer from a Sata SSD or by lowering the CPU core voltage and forcing all cores to run at 3.4 GHz (later confirmed higher, around 4.2 GHz).
    9. Feb 2020 - Contacted MSI and AMD RMA support. MSI "confirmed" the issue was with the board and approved an RMA.
    10. Feb 2020 - Ordered a Gigabyte X570 Aorus Master because I was tired of the issues with the MSI board.
    11. Feb 2020 - Found this overclock.net thread with seemingly, my exact issue, troubleshoot more with some of the BIOS specific troubleshooting steps mentioned.
    12. Feb 2020 - Install the Gigabyte board, have the same problem.
    13. Mar 2020 - AMD approves the 5950X RMA.
    14. Mar 2020 - Buy an R7 5800X to use during the RMA.
    15. Mar 2020 - AMD confirms the RMA'd "processor has successfully passed the inspection" (I assume this means they tested it and have also seen the issue, right?)
    16. April 2020 - New 5950X arrives. Same problem.

    Alternative parts I have tested with

    • CPU 2: R7 5800X
    • CPU 3: R9 5950X
    • Motherboard 2: MSI MEG X570 UNIFY
    • RAM 2: CORSAIR Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4 2133
    • GPU 2: EVGA GTX 1060 6GB
    • PSU 2: ROSEWILL CAPSTONE Series 1000W 80 PLUS Gold
    • PSU 3: Seasonic 520W Focus Plus
    • SSD 3: Samsung 860 EVO 500GB 3.5" SATA

    ​

    Troubleshooting steps taken in step 8 above:

    1. Tried booting with different RAM configs (various combinations of slots and ram sticks, including all 4 individually)
    2. Removed all external connections minus a DisplayPort cable
    3. Removed all additional HDDs (SSD boot drive untouched)
    4. Reset BIOS settings to default
    5. Tried a different GPU (EVGA GTX 1060 6GB)
    6. Tried booting with different RAM (CORSAIR Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4 2133 (PC4 17000))
    7. Tried 2 different PSUs (ROSEWILL CAPSTONE Series 1000W 80 PLUS Gold, Seasonic 520W Focus Plus)
    8. Tried booting with a different M.2 SSD (Samsung 960 Pro 1TB NVMe M.2)
    9. Tried booting with a sata SSD from a second PC (Samsung 860 EVO 500GB 3.5" SATA) - WORKED
    10. Moved the 970 EVO SSD to second PC - WORKED
    11. Tried alternative BIOS versions. (up and downgrade).

    ​

    Troubleshooting steps taken in step 11 above

    1. Tried messing with a bunch of settings mentioned in the post
    2. Tried downclocking the CPU to 3.4GHz - WORKED

    Troubleshooting steps taken after step 16 above

    1. Used DDU to clean up drivers

    ​

    Based on the Overclock.net thread and this Tom's Hardware thread, this seems to be a more widespread issue.

    Now I have no idea where to go from here. With my first CPU, it appears to have been an issue with the single core boosting because on all core constant load (CPU mining) and with all cores downclocked to a low, fixed frequency, things appeared to be relatively stable. The second CPU is even MORE unstable and I can't get it to run for even a few minutes, even at reduced clocks. The SSDs work perfectly fine in my second PC. My main PC works perfectly fine with the 5800X. But BOTH 5950X have problems?? Excuse me but what the fuck? I have been able to replace EVERY single part. How is it possible I am still having issues? Is it possible I received a faulty replacement? Please send help.

    Best CPU for VR to pair with RTX3090 + Valve Index

    Posted: 01 May 2021 01:38 PM PDT

    Hey guys,

    I recently upgraded from a 1080ti to an RTX3090 and while trying to push the Valve Index to 120 or 144hz, I seem to be getting about 20-25% reprojection in the game I am playing at 120hz which I think is because of the CPU frame times spiking. My CPU is an i5-8600k @ 4.7Ghz. My CPU or GPU usage isn't usually that high either.

    If I am correct and its the CPU holding me back, what is currently the best CPU I could get to allow me to push the higher hz of the Valve Index?

    Image from fpsVR for info

    Thanks!

    Questions regarding cooling for a RTX 3080

    Posted: 01 May 2021 01:37 PM PDT

    So I managed to score a 3080, and I need to upgrade my case and power supply. I want to keep my temperatures down and my 3080 cool and not heat up too much when I install everything.

    The P400A Digital Case has three front fans AFAIK. I have the stock motherboard fan from my AMD processor. Should I get a exhaust fan as well?

    Computer under preforming

    I have a 3080 evga FTW3 I7-10700k not over clocked 1200watt power supply 32gb ram m.2 drives 4k 144hz predator monitor

    My computer seems to do worse now than when I had my 2770 super. I have used DDU and updated all my bios and all. But I can't seem to stream fall guys due to encoder lag, or minecraft, or cold war even though fps is fine when playing. My cpu does not go over 70 percent usage or 70c and I changed the intelipmm in the registry files already. My cpu also stays at 4.5 ghz whether on the desktop idle or in any game.

    Finally ordering first PC... what do you think?

    Posted: 01 May 2021 02:05 PM PDT

    Hi! I think I'm ready to order my first gaming PC, but I want to make sure that I'm not forgetting anything and this is all I need! Here's what I picked: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ZG4BRT

    I want to make sure I'm not buying anything wrong or incompatible etc.. Is there anything that I'm forgetting about, or is this all I need?

    What do you think about the motherboard? Is it good? I also looked at the Z490-E but it's quite a bit more expensive.

    Are there any compatibility problems that I'm not noticing?

    I plan on only using the stock fans that come with the case for a while until I get some Noctua fans in the future, is this okay?

    Any opinions or recommendations of better parts etc. is appreciated! Thanks a ton! :)

    Looking for £300 CPU+mobo to upgrade build

    Posted: 01 May 2021 02:04 PM PDT

    Want to upgrade my current CPU and motherboard as my CPU gets maxed out regularly while playing games etc. Current Build

    Budget is £300 for both combined.

    Last I checked the 3600 seemed like the best around this price range but I've heard Intel has made a comeback in the budget department with the 11400.

    Any advice would be appreciated.

    AMD motherboard and RAM recommendation?

    Posted: 01 May 2021 02:04 PM PDT

    I was not planning on building a PC until prices went down but I was able to snag a Ryzen 5800X off Facebook Marketplace for a decent discount below MSRP and had to get it. I am reusing my case (Corsair Cosmos 1000), PSU (Corsair 750W), EVO 970 M2 and EVO 850 2.5" for now. But I need a motherboard, RAM and a CPU cooler.

    My usage scenario is mostly CAD work with gaming. I don't do a ton of either (like 2 hours a day max but average about 1 hour/day)

    MOTHERBOARD

    I got an open box Gigabyte B550 Aorus Elite V2 for about $120 off Microcenter. The downsides of my current board is only 3 case fan hookups, only 4 SATA and only 1 Ethernet. While I can fix it with add on cards, fan splitters etc, I wouldn't mind getting a better motherboard for around $150-250 which doesn't have any of these downsides

    I also read someplace that the VRM's on the Gigabyte board I got is underwhelming…

    At some point, I would like to update the case to a newer one. mATX boards are a plus especially those that might have a USB-C hookup for the case since I can downsize my case…

    RAM

    Currently I'm using 2 x 8GB Crucial Ballistix 2666MHz CL16 RAM that I got for free from work. I know these specs are considered pretty slow. What spec RAM should I be looking for? I don't plan on overclocking any components but I don't want to use slow RAM if it's causing a bottleneck

    CPU cooler

    I ordered a be quiet Dark Rock Pro 4 for $80 that keeps the 5800x at about 32C on idle and maximum I hit was 81C (stress testing). I could get Noctua NH-D15 for $100 (or the chromax for $110) or any other air coolers if worthwhile. Again, no plans to overclock

    Thanks for any advice…

    Help after mobo/cpu upgrade

    Posted: 01 May 2021 01:57 PM PDT

    Need help after mobo/cpu upgrade.

    Hello!

    New Specs:CPU: i5 11400F
    Motherboard: Asus B560M-Plus LGA-1200
    RAM: Corsair 8GBx2 3000Mhz
    GPU: Asus GTX 1070 OC
    SSD/Storage: 1x Samsung 970 500gb, 1x Samsung 960 250gb and 1x Samsung 850 120gb

    Upgraded from:
    CPU: i5 7500
    Motherboard: Asrock Killer SLI Z270

    I changed out my motherboard and cpu today, and booted up. Everything is recognized in the BIOS, but I can't get into Windows. I planned to wipe the drives and do a fresh install using my OEM Windows USB-drive.

    Booting from the USB-drive gives following error: "0xc0000098" and "OS can't boot because of a critical system driver is missing or contains errors" and won't let me get any further.

    Put my old hardware back in and it boots with no problems.
    Booting from my 970 with a fresh Windows 10 install with the new hardware freezes after three seconds.

    Update: installed fresh Win10 on evo ssd on my old hardware, but windows freezes upon boot when new hardware is installed. Noe stuck..

    Anyone have any ideas?

    Customizing built pc

    Posted: 01 May 2021 01:34 PM PDT

    I'm looking to upgrade components on my pc without upgrading the PSU. Motherboard: Acer b46h5-ad. Processor: i5-10400. RAM: (2x 8 gb) 16 gb ddr4 2666 mhz. Extra 500gb ssd. Those are the power drainers. No optical drive and no dedicated gpu YET. I'm planning on adding on a gpx 1650 (30w of juice). I think that I should be fine with the standard 300w psu. Am I wrong?

    Recommendations for Mid Tower ATX Case, First Time Builder

    Posted: 01 May 2021 01:31 PM PDT

    I'm planning to build a Mid Tower ATX PC, however I can't decide which case to get. I'm looking for a case that's easy to build/upgrade in and to cable manage, as well as something that isn't flashy and won't give me any problems in the future. I've been looking at the NZXT H510 for 65.99, which looks great and seems beginner friendly. I only plan to spend 50-80 dollars on the case.
