| Wholesome parent messaged me on pcpartpicker Posted: 31 Jul 2021 10:40 PM PDT He said "Hi [Name] -Sorry to bother you -My son is 12 years old and he is in the process of assembling a gaming computer .... - we really liked your unique model, which you built on July 25, 2021 and published on the website https://pcpartpicker.com/ I am asking you to provide me or post on this site a complete description of all parts and spare parts that you have installed on your gaming computer. I don't understand anything about it. I ask you, it will be easier for me and my child please do a big favor Thank you very much! We look forward to hearing." This was so cool and cute and I responded to them with a link to my build and explained some basics. What else should I say to help them out?

| Posted: 01 Aug 2021 11:30 AM PDT EDIT: Thanks everyone, was able to get to a stable boot on 3600 MHz after changing some timing and CL settings in BIOS, will be running memtest this evening to confirm stability but looks good so far! Hey all, been trying to do some troubleshooting of my own for a few months now but haven't had any luck so figured I'd ask around here. I just built a new rig back in November and have 4x8 TridentZ 3600 rated RAM, but unfortunately it's being capped to 2133. Running an ASUS ROG B550-F Strix board as well. I've attempted to adjust DOCP and speeds in BIOS but can't get a stable boot on anything past 2133MHz. Anyone have any potential solutions?

| Posted: 01 Aug 2021 11:57 AM PDT Alright, my new 144hz monitor arrived today and I was so excited to open it up and turn it on just to find what I thought were around 10 or so dead pixels. This bummed me out, as the monitor I picked had very good reviews and normally doesn't have any problems. I blew on the screen to remove any dust, but they were still there. I honestly thought I needed to return it and buy a new one, until I tried one last thing. I got some tape and stuck it on the dead pixel spots, and to my complete and utter surprise, THEY ACTUALLY CAME OFF. So yes, that means I wasted my time over a few dust particles. Bruh.

| Is it risky to switch pc cases? Posted: 01 Aug 2021 12:44 PM PDT This is my first time owning a pc. I bought a prebuilt knowing that the cooling is bad. The asus rog strix i7-11700k rtx 3070 on bb for $1,600. I want to switch the case out, switch the cpu cooler and add case fans. It it difficult to do so? Or should I not even worry about it if it cools fine for me? Is it easy to mess up/ ruin the pc? What is the worst case scenario that can happen? Thank you for your time.

| I can not decide which cpu is better for me Posted: 01 Aug 2021 02:17 PM PDT Hi! I am a computer science student and also a game lover. I decided to build a new pc but i can't decide which cpu should i choose. Some of my friends say intel 10600k is better and some of them support ryzen 5 5600x. In my country intel 10600k is cheaper than amd ryzen 5 5600x. On the other hand their performance are nearly same (i say it because i watched some youtube videos to compare these cpus). So which one i should choose and what are the points i should be careful about? [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Very High Power Usage + Unstable FPS Posted: 01 Aug 2021 02:07 PM PDT
Having problems with my system. Have had it for a while without problems. Just reinstalled my Windows since I upgraded to a M.2 drive. Everything went smoothly until today. Previously had everything updated and all. Today, I launch a game of LoL and my fps is super unstable jumping from 400 to 60fps. Any app that is focused on shows Very High power usage in Task Manager. Have tried removing overclock from CPU, RAM, changing power plans. Nothing works. Any ideas?

| Best GPU for under £600 in today’s market? Posted: 01 Aug 2021 02:52 PM PDT Hi everyone, my friend needs a PC and his budget is around £600. What's the best GPU to go for in this price bracket or should he just go integrated? [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Learn from me and remember to change your RAM speed... oof Posted: 01 Aug 2021 02:51 PM PDT I'm doing a new build, my last build was in 2016. Back in 2016 I bought 2x8gb of DDR4 3200mhz RAM. Pretty good for 2016, huh? I remember searching for a bit to find a good set on sale. I was proud of myself. I think I paid a small premium to get the 3200mhz speed. Just now, today, after five years of using this computer, I learned that I actually had to manually change my RAM speed to get the listed 3200mhz speed. It was running at 2133mhz for 5 years. Big oof. Lesson learned: not all components operate at advertised speeds without a minute worth of setup in the BIOS. [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 01 Aug 2021 09:43 AM PDT Current specs are: Gpu: gtx 1060 3gb (not gonna upgrade since I just got it from a friend for free) Cpu: fx 4300 (not over locked, also very old) Motherboard: MSI 760gma-p34 Ram: unknown 8x2 (16gb in total) ddr3 1333mhz ram A 1 terabyte hard drive Evga 450 watt power supply I want to mainly upgrade the cpu motherboard and the ram, but I'm scared if I pick parts by myself I'll mess something up. Could on of you guys help me out to pick some parts? My fx 4300 struggles to keep up with the gtx 1060 so in games I struggle to keep a steady frame rate and tend to spike from like 100 to 15 then back and forth. I really don't want to upgrade my whole pc but if my pc is a lost cause just let me know. Thanks. [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| 3 beeps after adding a case fan, need help Posted: 01 Aug 2021 01:28 PM PDT so i just installed a new 140 mm fan to my case to get some airflow going, and when i turn it on it beeps 3 times, checked every memory by itself, dual channel, "quad channel" or idk how its called but the point is that no matter what i get the beeps. i have no other memory, bios is up to date as up to date as it can be since the mobo isnt supported anymore, and i dont think that i could have fcked it up this badly. Also unplugged the fan, still the same ok wtf just changed out 2 sticks, like swapped places and it works [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Is buying a prebuilt pc as bad as people say it is? Posted: 01 Aug 2021 07:25 AM PDT (huge noob here) I've been saving up money to get a gaming pc but I'm not sure if I should buy a prebuilt or build it myself. I hardly know anything about computers, and because of the part shortage right now I'm leaning toward buying a prebuilt. I'm planning on using the computer for mainly Minecraft, streaming, video creation, and occasionally other random variety games. I want to be able to have my games run smoothly without lag. Does anyone have any advice or recommendations? My budget is about $1000. I would appreciate any help! [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Daughter wants to build pc for gaming and streaming, too many options. Posted: 01 Aug 2021 11:06 AM PDT I had posted a while ago when my daughter wanted to start a build, then things came up. Now back at it again. She currently runs(all at the same time), iPad Pro 12.9, iPhone, Crome book, and dell laptop. I would like for her to have a big enough system that she can play games at or around 90 FPS and stream/watch streams on a 32" wide or wider monitor. My budget is around 1500 plus video card and monitor. I am leaning towards an AMD 5600x but not sure of motherboard. Would like USB-C, wifi 6, gigabyte Ethernet and a little rgb. She already bought a fractal design meshify c white case. I had built computers when the top of the line was a 486dx2-66, so helping her build one is no problem( I think). Any help will be greatly appreciated. [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| I5-11400F for 215€ vs AMD Ryzen 5 5600x for 285€ Posted: 01 Aug 2021 12:56 PM PDT Hello everyone, I was about to buy an Intel Core i5-11400F CPU, given the positive reviews for those who use it mainly for gaming and daily use. In Italy, where I live, its price is currently around 215€. What I would like to ask you is if in your opinion it is better to go in this direction or aim for an Intel Core i5-11600K for 30€ more, or even go for an AMD Ryzen 5 5600X processor, which has been running around for a few weeks to 285€. More simply: for their market values reported above, which CPU is more convenient to buy? [link] [comments] |
