| Do you guys shut down your pcs every night? Posted: 31 Aug 2021 04:27 AM PDT Wait I have been doing this since I got my pc and my friend said your not supposed to. Am I supposed to just like put it to sleep? What do you guys do? [link] [comments] |
| Just found out my SSD is actually an HDD after 7 years Posted: 30 Aug 2021 06:57 PM PDT I bought a pre-built pc from a local tech store back in 2014, and I was told it came with a 2TB HDD and a 500GB SSD. Today I had the door open on my case and actually took a close look at the tiny drive in my sata tray for the first time and realized it wasn't an SSD, but it's actually a little seagate laptop hard drive. Just thought it was funny how the guy that built it's little lie he told to a 13 year old took so long to get found out. Worst part about it is I just spent the day moving my windows install to what I thought was my "SSD" that actually has slower read and write speeds than the drive it came from 🙃 [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 31 Aug 2021 07:30 AM PDT I've been stalking and made the occasional post on what to build in just under a year. I've finally put all the pieces together and have completed my gaming pc. Through multiple opinions, pointers and feedback I've been able to make a brand new pc for the first time since the AMD Athlon x2 days (instead of just having an intel cpu system and gaming only on console) I managed to spend a little over $1200 converted on: Coupled with a Sata SSD & HDD I planned to put in my xbox to keep it going for a few extra years this is looking like honestly the best pc I could have asked for. I was out of work last year and was thinking how am I going to even scrape together a ryzen 3 3100 and gtx 1660 super combo. There's no RGB unfortunately, only the manufacturer of the GPU's name lights up in my build and I think that's neat. As cool as rgb is I'm happy with saving a few bucks on getting other upgrades. Maybe down the line I'm gonna get rgb, I'm ALREADY looking at where to upgrade next because we all know that's the real fun part about pcs! Anyhow, thanks for the pointers! [link] [comments] |
| Can you mount a dual graphic card setup with an RTX 3070 (or similar) and a GTX 1070 TI? Posted: 31 Aug 2021 06:22 AM PDT Title says it all. I currently have a GTX 1070 TI and looking to upgrade, and I wonder if it's possible to make both cards work together instead of selling my 1070 TI, or if it's even worth it if it actually works? I've never looked into a dual graphic card setup before so I'm a big newbie here, so forgive me if it's a stupid question. [link] [comments] |
| Why does my computer keep freezing? Posted: 31 Aug 2021 09:36 AM PDT Hi. Specs: ASUS - ROG STRIX B450-F GAMING AM4 Motherboard Thanks in advance. [link] [comments] |
| 5 year old died, what are my replacement options? Posted: 31 Aug 2021 12:49 PM PDT My 5 year old GTX 1070 died and I need something to replace it, in the middle of a GPU shortage. What would be the best thing to do? Used or pay current prices on upgrade? My CPU does not have integrated graphics so. [link] [comments] |
| Wireless keyboard recommendations Posted: 31 Aug 2021 10:45 AM PDT Hi guys! I'm looking to buy a keyboard as a gift for my boyfriend, I don't really have a clue on where to start and I only know a couple of things in needs to be/have. It needs to be - 1) Mechanical 2)Wireless 3)Cherry MX 4) RGB 5) Full size The one he has just now I'm sure is a Logitech one. I don't have a budget for this really as long as it's a good one for gaming in particular. Any recommendations are welcome :) [link] [comments] |
| B550 or X570 (5900x White Build) Posted: 31 Aug 2021 07:27 AM PDT Hey everyone! So I'm building a pc and have everything ordered but I may be having second thoughts on going with a B550 board to pair with my 5900x and 3080. I went with the Rox Strix B550-A as it is white and will look great with my all white build. Should I exchange it for a 570 board? Budget is not an issue here. I think the only feature I can think of that I would want from the 570 is the extra gen 4 nvme slot but I may be missing other advantages. Lastly, esthetics is important but I can't find a white 570 board other than the asus prime and I think that may be entry level? Your help appreciated! [link] [comments] |
| Gaming PC just turns off when playing games Posted: 31 Aug 2021 12:23 PM PDT Since Monday my gaming PC has been randomly turning off when playing games, almost as if i pulled the plug out. It will not turn back on until i completely unplug it from the socket. I have checked temps and everything appears to be OK, I have also not added/changed anything within the PC itself since putting in a new GPU in December, Would anyone have any ideas what might be failing. Specs; Ryzen 5 3600 Corair 16Gb DDR4 Vengeance LPX 3200MHz Gigabyte B450 Aorus Elite Asus RTX 3060 Ti DUAL OC 8GB CoolerMaster MWE Bronze 750W Everything is housed in a Corsair 465X RGB with 6x120mm Corsair LL series fans and a H100i RGB Pro XT. It just turned off on me today while playing Path of Exile. [link] [comments] |
| I did an oopsie, I’d like some help please Posted: 31 Aug 2021 06:35 AM PDT So I built my entire pc, and turned it on just to realize I accidentally ordered the non-wifi version of my motherboard instead of the wifi one. I can't run an Ethernet cable at the moment, so should I replace my entire motherboard or buy a wifi card? How do the speeds compare? Motherboard is Asus ROG Strix B550-F Gaming. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 31 Aug 2021 01:25 PM PDT I know nothing about pc's and my friend at school helped me with this. Is it any good? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/fyyGp2 [link] [comments] |
| A GTX 1070 for €130 a good deal? Posted: 31 Aug 2021 11:28 AM PDT It's a starting bid on a second hand site so i'll definitely get overbid by someone but if i manage to get is for €130 ($154) is that a good deal? It's a gigabyte version with 3 fans. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 31 Aug 2021 01:51 PM PDT Hey y'all. As the title says I want to try a custom water loop for the first time and I'm a bit lost. What brands are the best for what parts, and how do I power and have argb hooked up for all these fans! [link] [comments] |
| What changes do you guys recommend? budget is £2000 and can go a bit over Posted: 31 Aug 2021 01:41 PM PDT |
| Planning new build with my daughter for gaming - several questions Posted: 31 Aug 2021 11:29 AM PDT I'm helping my daughter to build a new gaming PC she is buying. Here an outline of what our current plans are: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/markus_b/saved/c9s4Mp

| Posted: 31 Aug 2021 01:24 PM PDT guys i currently have a ryzen 3 3200g and 16 gb ram. Im plannign to buy a card from 3000 series. I work with unreal engine quite alot so should i get a 3060 or a 3060 ti. 3060 has more VRAM but a 3060 ti is much faster (its better than a 2080 super) which also let me play games better. What do you think? Should i ask this on the unreal engine subreddit or is this the correct place [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 31 Aug 2021 12:59 PM PDT Soooo.. I know that I can save money going to other fans or whatever and that cable management is going to be a PITA, That's fine but I think I'm going to go with 9 Corsair QL120's. It's cheaper to buy them in the 3 pack than individually. They come with the Lighting Node CORE. My dilemma: the Lighting Node CORE only controls RGB. What to do about fan speed control? Do I get a splitter 4pin pwm thing like this to connect all the fans to 1 or 2 fan headers on the motherboard or like 2 Commander Pros to do the RGB and fan controller and toss/sell the Lighting Node CORES? Without it being in the fan header the fans are only gonna go one speed right? Even if the temps fluctuate it will still be the one speed? Speed control will be with the bios/mobo utility if no commander pro? With commander pro is it controlled in icue? Thanks all for your input. [link] [comments] |

| SIDIZ T50 vs Ergo Chair Pro 2? Posted: 31 Aug 2021 10:28 AM PDT Both these chairs go for about the same price, Ergo for $340 at Walmart and SIDIZ for $340 at Amazon. Which of these 2 chairs is the better option? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 31 Aug 2021 12:22 PM PDT Got a question, I bought a used GPU off of eBay in May 2021 when GPU prices were higher than now and $500 bought me a used MSI GTX 1070 Gaming X. (Smart enough to buy the Square Trade Warranty though!). Any way my PSU is an EVGA SuperNOVA 850 GS, that has been in my PC(s) since I bought it new in December of 2015. I try not to buy used parts. I play Path of Exile a lot and it was crashing my system. First I blamed Win 11, for being an unstable build, so I went back to 10. Crashes are still happening and I don't have ½ my programs installed which I limit what can and cannot run at Start through Task Manager well as much as Win lets you have control anyway. Here is the Graph from GPU-Z current build. I have tried running both DirectX and Vulkan. This shows VRel as being Blue which means: Limited by Reliable Voltage. As my PSU is 100% Modular I changed the GPU Power wire out and it's spot but the problem persists. And the cable I used came out of my PSU's box (Yes I am a box hoarder LOL) and looked to have been previously unused. Also I am getting 100% GPU usage I know it is bottlenecked there.

| Can i use a single ram stick from a 2x16gb ram kit? Posted: 31 Aug 2021 04:50 AM PDT So i recently got a deal for some 16gb ram and was planing on using it for my pc but can i use it individually if it comes from a 32gb ram kit? Will i loose mhz by doing that or not ? [link] [comments] |
| What Motherboard should I get? Posted: 31 Aug 2021 12:11 PM PDT What motherboard do you recommend, with a budget of 130 dollars or lower. I have an intel i5 10400F. A little help would be nice! [link] [comments] |
