| I'm the dumbest person on the planet. Posted: 20 Jul 2021 04:27 AM PDT I'd built my PC and was ready to try boot it. I try to boot it. Nothing. I wasn't that confident with the cables so, I figured I'd probably plugged something in wrong. Nope. Everything was fine. Ok, MAYBE I didn't put something in properly. Start with something simple, the ram. I take it out, put it back in, then try turn it on again. Nothing. On the verge of tears. As far as troubleshooting goes, I have no idea what to do. I go have a break, come back an hour later. Right, I'm gonna fix this! I notice a cable out the corner of my eye... I didn't plug the monitor in.. ;-; Edit: HOLY HELL 1K. Thanks for the awards kind strangers. Time to get a new fancy pancy avatar! There's A LOT of comments, so sorry I can't reply to all of them! Thanks for sharing all your stories though. Makes me feel a little less dumb! As for people asking why I didn't check the monitor if the fans were running. I figured it was probably the ram as I'd heard that was common. I was tired that day having spent hours on this and I wasn't fuctioning, so I couldn't really think of anything else to do. Edit 2: WTH GUYS I WAS ONLY GONE FOR A FEW MORE HOURS [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 20 Jul 2021 08:34 AM PDT I knew that the GPU shortage was bad, but I really got to see how bad it was first hand. Me and a friend got to our local Best Buy around 5 am local time, and the line was at least a 200 long already. By the time 7:30 rolled around, around 400 people were lined up. They probably got around 100 GPUs on the store, that's it. I had asked some people near the front, and they had waited since noon of the day before just to be in the first 20 people. I understand waiting but jesus, waiting around 10 hours for a GPU. Insane. My friends been trying since december to finish his build, and still can't. I know the combination of low socket production, mining, scalpers, and whatever else you want to add on but screw the market right now. It's impossible to be able to get anything at all. Nvidia, I know it's impossible, but there are literally thousands of gamers willing to spend hundreds if not thousands of dollars, the least you can do is give us a bit more information about how production is doing.

| Samsung drive name says "500GB" despite being 1TB Posted: 19 Jul 2021 11:55 PM PDT I just bought and installed a V-NAND SSD Samsung 970 Evo Plus NVMe M.2 1TB drive. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 20 Jul 2021 01:19 PM PDT I've seen so many posts on this sub where people are troubleshooting their PC for not turning on, and in the end they had a small minor mistake. I want to build a PC but I don't know shit about it. Can someone list a very basic / ELI5 type list or steps to build a pc? Thank you folks. ❤️ [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| PC won’t power on unless I cycle the PSU switch Posted: 20 Jul 2021 05:59 AM PDT Hey all. Just completed my "once per decade" rebuild. "Camp out overnight at best buy to get a GPU" edition. Ryzen 9 5900x Asus crosshair dark hero viii 32gb (2x16) trident gskill RAM H710i EVGA 1000 watt modular PSU Noctua NH-D15 Sometimes the PC starts up fine. Others, neither a) the case power button, b) an aftermarket button I bought to test, nor c) the mobo "start" button will power it up after I shut down. The internet tells me it could basically be anything except the CPU. Anyone ever deal with anything like this? [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| What cooler should I get for a Ryzen 5 5600X? Posted: 20 Jul 2021 06:18 AM PDT I was gonna get a Dark Rock 4 but it's not available in Brazil, so I'm not sure what to get instead. The most demanding game I intend to play is RDR2. I don't intend to overclock much either. Parts list here: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/P88fW3 Edit: Constructive criticism for my list would be much appreciated as well. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Posted: 20 Jul 2021 10:53 AM PDT i am looking to purchase either an RTX 3080 or 3080ti but am unsure if the price differnce justifys the price. My parents are giving me 600 euros as a birthday present so its not that bad. But i am still not sure. (i only game at 1440p) (rest of my PC i9 10850k, 32gb ram) [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 20 Jul 2021 12:40 PM PDT So recently i build a new pc. And because of the gfx prices atm i decided to bring my old card over to the new system.a MSI GTX 1070 But now it aint working normally and i got some kind of weird purple spots in some games and after a while it hangs. I didn't have this before on my old system Yeah i have enough power in the new system. and pretty sure everything is connected right Video : haha just was a simple game to test out the system :) [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 2k gaming/editing build, anything I should change about the parts? Posted: 20 Jul 2021 05:47 AM PDT general info
usage
Is there anything I should change about the build? Planning to use this build for the next 5 years at least. Is the CPU cooler enough for 3700X? or for 5900X, if i end up getting it instead? Also I have no idea about motherboard, i've only used intel so far so i don't really know the difference between B550 and X570 - basically my only "must have" is two m.2 places for ssd's. Also, is it worth it getting platinum ranked PSU? [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Built a New Computer and Won’t Even Power Up Posted: 20 Jul 2021 09:45 AM PDT Troubleshooting Help:What is your parts list? Consider formatting your parts list.
Describe your problem. List any error messages and symptoms. Be descriptive. Recently built this computer. Went to turn it on and nothing. I cannot get this computer to even turn on. List anything you've done in attempt to diagnose or fix the problem. I have constructed this computer, deconstructed, and reconstructed it. No change. Post relevant photos of build/parts here. I do not have any photos yet. I am happy to provide any. Provide any additional details you wish below. I've built quite a number of computers, but I have never had an issue where it wouldn't even turn on. I think it could be a bad power supply, but I am sure I am forgetting something very basic. Any help is apprciated. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 20 Jul 2021 01:15 PM PDT Updated my hardware. New CPU, new motherboard, gpu, ram and psu. Can I use my current ssd that has all my files and os installed. Will it run normally? [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 20 Jul 2021 01:08 PM PDT So i finished my build with replacing the case fans with some beQuiet silent wings 3. Now my case is actually very quiet, so quiet that I realized a quiet but somewhat annoying humming/vibrating noise from the case. First it was more noticeable, after disconnecting the powercable from my HDD, there was almost the same humming noise but quieter. It appears randomly for 5-10 second with a low humming sound every 2 seconds. PC-Parts that could be the reason: PSU: Seasonic Prime 850w Titanium AIO Cooler: NZXT Kraken x63 (with the NZXT fans) GPU: EVGA 3080 Ti Ultra FTW3 2 SSD's Case: NZXT H510i Sleeve cables 2 Silent Wings 3 Fans I appreciate any help [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 20 Jul 2021 07:07 AM PDT Hey guys, I had the opportunity to buy a 3070ti for msrp. I have the drivers updated. CPU is a threadripper 1950x. Motherboard is a zenith extreme. 16gb of ram. I have no clue why my performance is running like garbage in cyberpunk and warzone. It looks like only 10-15% gpu utilization in task manager please help!

| 1080p or 1440p for RTX 3060 Ti paired with Ryzen 5 5600x? Posted: 19 Jul 2021 10:55 PM PDT Hey guys, I recently managed to get a 3060 Ti to pair with a Ryzen 5 5600x, along with 16GB of 3600 MHz RAM. I intend to play mostly Warzone on this build and I'm stuck on deciding between a 1080p 144Hz monitor or a 1440p 144Hz monitor. I was wondering if any of you guys have any experience with this CPU + GPU pairing in Warzone and any opinions on whether I should stick to 1080p or spend the extra cash on 1440p. I'm aware Warzone is mostly CPU intensive, so I plan on doing some overclocking on both the CPU and GPU, but I can't seem to find any good videos on YouTube that show average frame rate on competitive settings (as in 120 FOV, high particle quality, etc.) for Warzone and most cap around 130 frames at 1440p resolution. Any thoughts/opinions as well as monitor recommendations are highly appreciated! EDIT: Thanks for the responses guy. Looks like I'm getting a 1440p monitor, forgot I have a $100 visa gift card lying around so might as well put it to good use. Anyone know if the LG 27GN800-B is any good?

| Posted: 20 Jul 2021 04:46 AM PDT Just finished my new build today super super happy with it but going into nvidia control pane it looks like I can't select an option higher than 60Hz? Which is strange considering on my old pc it went up to 100Hz which again (sorry) is even stranger because it says the monitor I own can go up to 144Hz but 100 was the highest option I had. So what's the go? [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Which is a better combination? Posted: 20 Jul 2021 10:22 AM PDT RTX 1660 super with a ryzen 7 3700x Or RTX 3060 with ryzen 5 3600 [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Computer crashing when using xmp Posted: 20 Jul 2021 12:22 PM PDT I have an Asus tuf x570-plus Ryzen 5 1600 4x8gb crical ballistic 3600 cl16. Crucial nvme 1tb Radeon 6900xt(I know beefy gpu slower cpu looking to upgrade) Thermaltake 850wat 80gold cpu. *Edit to add psu. When I'm using Asus version of xmp to get the ram to the 3600mhz it will crash in windows. But if I use xmp and manually set speed at 3400mhz it works fine. Could this be faulty ram? The mother board has the regular 8pin and an extra 4pin power. Do I need to use the 4pin to get the 3600mhz? [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| BIOS update needed for CPU upgrade? Posted: 20 Jul 2021 12:15 PM PDT Hey guys! I've recently upgraded my dad's notebook (HP ProBook 4530s) with an SSD and more RAM but I also bought a used i7 2670QM that arrived yesterday which I haven't installed yet. I just wanted to make sure whether or not I need to update the BIOS to change the CPU. The current processor is an i3 2310M; the motherboard in question is a Hewlett-Packard 167C KBC Version 22.24 and the BIOS is Hewlett-Packard 68SRR Ver. F. 40. Thanks!

| Posted: 20 Jul 2021 12:12 PM PDT GPU is a rx 5500 XT 8GB and CPU is AMD Ryzen 3 3200G, hard drive Seagate Barracuda 2TB HDD. After latest Radeon update I'm stuck on a black screen with a little circle of white dots spinning til infinity. Let it run thru the night because maybe it just needed time but almost been a full 24 hours now. Any help would be amazing! Lmao first time posting so I can't post a pic oops [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Newbie PC builder. Would love some advice on this rough draft of parts! Posted: 20 Jul 2021 12:12 PM PDT Ive been in the market for a pretty beefy PC. One capable of running fairly hi-end games, but also is a beast with music production. A few things I'm looking for are: Very fast storage, and LOTS of it. Ability to run games up to 1440p, up to or higher then 60fps... and thats honestly it. A benchmark I'm shooting for is to play Monster Hunter Worlds with the HD texture pack at 1440p/60fps. From what I hear the GPU I'm getting is a little overkill. But ive also been told GPU is one of the parts you should be spending the most money on? Well I'm willing to overkill on the cpu/gpu if it means I get a nice PC that lasts me a long time.
Is anything here too overpowered for what I want to do? Is anything too underpowered? Because this is also my music production station, should I be focusing more on CPU then GPU? Thanks! [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 20 Jul 2021 05:24 AM PDT I have an SSD in my current computer and I was wondering if I need to uninstall anything from it like drivers or windows stuff in order to put it into my new pc.
