| I used a 144Hz monitor (XB271HU) for the first time today. Posted: 08 May 2021 07:59 AM PDT Well, to be clear, I've been using it since 2018, at 59Hz. £602.48. Sigh. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| My parents let me buy my dream computer Posted: 07 May 2021 07:02 PM PDT Awhile back, I posted on this sub about how my parents wouldn't let me buy parts for my dream computer, and how they thought it was unsafe. Thanks to many of you (I can't believe that post blew up!) I was able to convince them that it was safe to buy the parts, and they even wanted to help me on it. So, today I finally got all of the parts picked up. And I was even able to score an rx 580 at retail price. We plan to get started on the build tomorrow. I'll keep posted with the final build! Once again, thank you everyone for the suggestions and help on my PC building dreams. There were so many times I felt lost and confused, but people here could almost always answer my most stupid questions.

| Does turning your pc on and off several times a day cause any wear or damage? Posted: 08 May 2021 07:07 AM PDT I feel like such a noob asking this and I did research but still can't figure out if modern pc parts actually take any damage or wear from turning on and off regularly, I have an irrational fear of sleep mode because I see my ram working but my cpu fan not working and my brain assumes the cpu will overheat, so I would prefer if I could just turn off my pc several times a day, my m.2 drive is so fast its literally less than 10 seconds to get to windows from off.

| Need some advice on this used PC sale - 5800x and 3070 Posted: 08 May 2021 09:04 AM PDT There's this guy trying to sell a 'used' gaming PC in my area - 5800x and a Gigabyte 3070 OC. Other specs include 16GB 3200Mhz RAM, 240mm Deepcool AIO, 750W Gigabyte Gold PSU. He had first wanted $2100 for the build but now since he has an urgent need for cash, he has slashed the price to $1900. The parts were bought in March 2021 and he has all the receipts. My problem with the build is its using an average ASRock B450 motherboard for some reason and only has a 256GB SATA SSD and a 2TB HDD. Given the current situation, it looks like a good deal but I wanted your opinions. Would you take it for $1900? [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Why my sistem won't power up with a gtx 480? Posted: 08 May 2021 02:19 PM PDT So I downgraded my build from an rx 580 to a gtx 480 but my pc won't even power up with it, without it does. What could that mean? Does my pc not stand nvidia's cards? PCI compatibility? It just doesn't work? my pc: CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 2700X 3.7 GHz 8-Core Processor MOBO: Gigabyte B450 AORUS PRO ATX AM4 RAM: Kingston HyperX Fury 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Memory HDD: Seagate BarraCuda 4 TB 3.5" 5400RPM Internal Hard Drive SSD: Samsung 970 EVO Plus 2 TB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive PSU: vultech gs-800w gold GPU: asus gtx 480 1536mb GDDR5 [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| What's the difference between the different USBs? Posted: 08 May 2021 01:43 PM PDT I was watching a Linus tech tips video about a Walmart PC and he mentioned how no pc in 2018 should have USB 2 in the front panel, my PC case is pretty old so I don't know how this will affect my overall (future) build.

| Computer store that allows pre orders of graphics cards Posted: 08 May 2021 02:03 PM PDT I remember watching a stream on twitch of Some guy running a computer store doing preorders of graphics cards and motherboards and CPU's and for the love of me I can't remember the name of that website Does anyone have an idea. It was one old guy doing it. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Computer turns on for half a second then fades off Posted: 08 May 2021 01:39 AM PDT Hi! Today I just got my new motherboard and cpu, motherboard is MSI MPG Z490 GAMING PLUS and cpu is an 17-10700k. I finally finished installing everything and when I went to turn it on, it flashed on for half a second and all the lights that did turn on, didn't instantly turn off, they faded out. This only happens when I turn off the switch on the PSU, unplug and plugin the power cord, turn the switch back on and then try the power button again. If I don't nothing happens after the initial power button press. The PSU was just working today with my old motherboard. I tried reseating the RAM and GPU, I individually tested each ram stick. All of the wires are good and in the correct spots. I'm not sure what could be the issue, any help would be appreciated. Thanks. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| What GPU would be a right balance of cost to performance to no bottleneck an i3 8100? Posted: 08 May 2021 06:18 AM PDT So i needed a PC two years ago and despite me recommending that we build one, he went ahead and bought a prebuilt PC (Dell Vostro 3470- i3 8100, Intel UHD 630, 4GBx1 RAM). Last year, we upgraded the ram to 8gb (4x2). Im considering adding a dedicated GPU to it, but given the size of the build, i can only go for a GT 1030 2gb gddr5. I only play Valorant and GTA5, But i also do edit videos and photos. I work with 1080p videos for now. Any suggestions? Would it be better if i wait for a Low Profile 1650 (currently out of stock for quite a while now) or should i just go with the 1030 and accept that it isss what it issss?

| Will this run Minecraft Bedrock 60 fps, while recording OBS 1080p60? Posted: 08 May 2021 01:43 PM PDT So I've decided to get a new pc, and I have ordered a gtx 1060-3gb (dual oc version) + r5 1600AF.My friend has said that this should run 1080p60 OBS while running 1080p60 not just Bedrock, but Java as well. I am starting to doubt it however, though I am sure I can do 720p60. I will provide more information about this PC if needed like the SSD or else If this doesn't run it, what CPU or GPU should I upgrade this with? Obs and Minecraft are both CPU Intensive [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 08 May 2021 01:39 PM PDT I don't know if it my motherboard or is the ram becuase when I have only one ram on 2 it stay on but when I have one on 4 it turn off in 30 40 sec When I have both ram 2 and 4 it turn off in 30 as well Any suggestions [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Buying a GPU on eBay vs. My Own Posted: 08 May 2021 09:50 AM PDT I am in need of a GPU. I have a GTX 1070 8gb back home with around 4 years of use. It might be a month before I get a hold of it so I want to get a cheap GPU meanwhile. I was browsing eBay and they were selling used GTX 1080 Ti 11 gb for less than 100 USD. Is this a reasonable price? I'm skeptical because that seems too cheap given the market (and there are some listings of around 500 USD) but it would make more sense to buy the 1080 Ti and keep using that one instead of my old 1070. How efficient is buying a used GPU? What is the best move here? I will eventually try to get my hands on an RTX once and if the market calms down. UPDATE: Thank you everyone for their input and making me realize it's probably a scam. I ended up deciding to switch over from an Intel i9 10850K to an AMD Ryzen 7 5800X and since the latter doesn't have integrated graphics I got a GT 1030 for around 200 meanwhile. It's new so I hope I can sell it for ~120 bucks when I get my old 1070 in around a month. I decided on buying a dedicated GPU because I run two 4k monitors and even though it's not great it's better than the integrated intel GPU.

| 7 Year Old AIO Died what should I pick for my next cooler? Posted: 08 May 2021 11:24 AM PDT I currently have an i5-4670k overclocked at 4.3 Ghz and a GTX 960. A lot of people say that AIOs aren't really worth it so right now I am very conflicted as to which I should pick. Should I go air or liquid(240mm)? Last cooler was a Kühler h20 620. And also the front panel on my case is just tempered glass so not much airflow from the front. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Posted: 08 May 2021 11:12 AM PDT I am building my first pc but have found myself at a crossroad. My store is selling GPU and CPUs in "packs" to avoid scalping. My options are a Ryzen 7 3700x with an RTX 3070 or an i-7 10700 with an RTX 3060TI. My understanding is that i7 is a bit better than R7 while 3070 is a bit better than 3060TI. This pc will mainly be used for games, coding and blender. I'd appreciate any help or input for which package I should choose. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 08 May 2021 01:21 PM PDT Before i get trash talked.. I know, im not good with pc parts and what not. Now, i have an Nvidia RTX 3070 graphics card, and for some reason I dont feel like its properly set up. I mean, everything works, no flickering, shutdowns etc. but it just seems like it hasn't reached it fullest potential. When playing CS:GO I had between 80-130 fps with high video settings. I've followed several tutorials to increase fps and i've increased the fps to 150-180 which is nice. But now i'm wondering if my CPU is "too outdated" compared to the new graphics card? My CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7700K CPU @ 4.20GHz If you could help clarify some things regarding fully optimizing my GPU, i'd be really grateful :) (By the way, i run Cyberpunk between 40-60 FPS, but i know the game itself has a lot of optimization issues) Thanks!

| Looking to optimise case airflow for an O11D Posted: 08 May 2021 01:05 PM PDT So I've got a 5900x cooled with an ARCTIC Liquid 240, and a 3090 TUF OC, which I plan to mount horizontally. My AIO has two fans, and I've 5 others (all Noctua NF P12 Redux) I'll be putting in the case. What I'm thinking right now is side-mounting the rad with its two fans, and then having 3 bottom intake fans (obviously the case will never be on carpet) and 2 top exhaust fans. Is this the best layout for keeping both CPU and GPU cool? Gamer's Nexus found the best results with side intakes rather than bottom, but their fan layout and quantity was different to mine, and I feel like sucking the GPU exhaust through my rad isn't a recipe for ideal thermals. I'd appreciate any advice/guidance y'all have! [link] [comments] |
