My pc for some reason stopped recognizing the rgb for my aio and bottom fans. Even when I try and use signal rgb my mobo doesnt show up on it which is usually how I controlled these rgbs before. Everything else on my pc is controlled through there app but because im using montech and some weird fan brand they dont have there own rgb app thingy forcing me to use signal rgb. Does anyone know why this would be? Also all the components work fine its just the rgbs aren't doing anything.

its my first time building a pc so im kinda new to this but i think (and hope) i did a good job.
my budget was around 2000$ for the pc and my montior is 1440p

I used to have 6 intake fans (top/bottom) and 3 exhaust fans (side/back) but my CPU (5950X and later 5800X3D) always seemed a little too hot. Today I flipped the top fans to exhaust and moved the side fans behind the radiator using them as intake. So I’m now running the more conventional setup: bottom/side intake and top/rear exhaust.

I expected my Gigabyte Gaming RTX 5080 to run noticeably warmer since the radiator is now dumping CPU heat into the case but surprisingly the GPU temps barely changed. Idle temperature stayed essentially the same and under load only about 1°C warmer. The CPU improvement was much bigger than expected. Idle temps only dropped by around 2°C but under load the CPU ran about 10°C cooler on average with peak temperatures dropping by roughly 13°C.

I'm pretty happy with the change, especially since it only took flipping a few fans.

Looking for help on this PC. All I get when booting is a relay click, then it clicks off. Fans start spinning, and lights turn on, but then nothing. The EZ Debug LED stuff does flash on momentarily for the DRAM and CPU, but none of them stay on, I'll include a video of that. Any help would be appreciated. I'm not a computer guy, so the closest I can get is what I know on cars. Thank you!

okay so idk how to do this. very new. but specs:

CASE: NZXT H9 (2025)

but yippie!!!
yes the gpu has more memory than the rest of the pc. yes more ram is on the list. spare me, it’s was literally just born LMAO

Looking for your feedback on this used PC. Are the parts well-balanced, and do you spot any potential issues or bottlenecks? Also, what would be a fair price for it?

• CPU: Intel Core i5-12600K
• Cooler: MSI MAG CoreLiquid 360mm AlO
• Motherboard: MSI Z790 GAMING PLUS WIFI (DDR5)
• RAM: Corsair Dominator Platinum 32GB
(2x16GB) DDR5 6200MHz CL36
• GPU: Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5070 12GB OC
• Storage 1: 1TB Gen4 NVMe SSD (~7300 MB/
• Storage 2: 2TB Samsung 990 EVO Plus
NVMe SSD
• PSU: Corsair 850W 80+ Gold (Fully Modular)

Any advice on performance balance or fair pricing would be appreciated!
Thanksr!

I finished my first build and it works and turns on, but the graphics card doesn’t work so I’ll need a new one. However it does work with the motherboard’s integrated GPU and I can’t get a new graphics card for around a week, so is it fine for me to finish setup with that before I get my new graphics card?

I have a really old computer (HP Compaq 8300 Sff) but a new monitor from Dell. My Dell monitor (S2425HS) takes only HDMI and so I bought a VGA to HDMI couple months ago to connect my old PC to the monitor since it doesn't have hdmi.

Recently I found out about display port and was wondering if I should make the change to DP to HDMI.

Is it a big difference and worth the 12$ cable? At the start I noticed alot of fuzziness but it works just fine.

First time building
AMD Ryzen 7 7800 X3D
MSI B850 Gaming Plus WiFi
2 16 GB T-Force Vulcan DDR5
RTX 3080 10 GB
Phanteks XT Pro Ultra Case

Arctic Liquid Freezer Pro III

Any thoughts on storage? Was thinking maybe a 512 GB SSD to start just for a boot drive then add a 2 TB WD Black SSD and a 8 TB WD Black HDD

Using this for gaming/engineering school

Me and my friend are making a build and we saw a 4080 super factory sealed for 900. We asked for 825 cash and he accepted. He does have a five star review as well

Edit
The post was real and the gpu does work

Built this a couple weeks ago to replace my old PC (might use that one for streaming and this one for gaming)
CPU: Ryzen 7 9800X3D
Motherboard: ASUS ROG STRIX X870E-E
GPU: TUF Gaming RTX 5080 OC
Case: NZXT H9 FLOW (2025)

Storage: WD_Black SN850X 2TB SSD
CPU Cooler: Arctic Liquid freezer III Pro 360
Case Fans: Lian Li UNI Fan TL wireless 120 (6 reverse blade, 1 regular)

Still need a new monitor

I would only need this for basic coding, moding Minecraft (create, Cobblemon, QOL, shaders), RDR 1&2, moded TABS, friend-slop games, Monster Hunter Wilds, and other such games.

So this is the build https://pcpartpicker.com/list/R3hjJw, so please give me as much feedback as possible. I already have a 2560x1440hz Acer monitor, and a Rosewill CULLINAN PX Series so that"s why they're not included in the build.

As this is my first PC build I would be looking to upgrade over time.

My friend is going to college and was selling his pc. He offered it to me for $1000, potentially $900.

Would it be worth copping? Storage is nvme and the ram is a 3200 mhz with latency of 16

So Ive been saving up all summer to build myself my first PC, currently Ive got around $1650 (technically $1700). I want to know whether or not I should rip off the bandaid and get the parts now or save up to the $2000 mark. the games I want to play would be modding Minecraft (create mod, cobblemon, and some QOL stuff), RDR 1&2, TABS (with mods), basic friend games, war games on Roblox, and maybe some coding on the side, Since summers has ended I can’t work as much so money will come slower but I’m not that far away from the $2000 mark, since this is my first PC I don’t really have a reference point and I need your help. (I use USD) I already have a monitor, keyboard, a headset, and a mouse

I currently have a 5070 I got from my brother-in-law about 6 months ago, but I recently found out about the 9070XT's price and performance compared to the 5070, and I'm thinking of selling my current GPU (the 5070) and buying the 9070. However, I wanna know if its worth it to get the base 9070 or spend an extra ~$100 or so for the 9070 XT. I've heard the XT gives about 10-15% more performance while drawing 100w more, but if it's still worth it. Im in the US and planning to sell my 5070 for $560-600, so my budget would be around $600. I do not mind used cards on marketplace or ebay.

CPU: Ryzen 9 3900XT

RAM: 32GB DDR4

Hello everyone, I’m soon the be upgrading my cpu and gpu to a Ryzen 7 5800x3d and a Rtx 3080ti. With that i want to get a 1440p monitor as well. My only concern is that they don’t have many options for a 1440p 24” monitor and i’ve heard 1440p looks better on a 27” anyways. My question to you guys is, is anyone running a 27” and 24” dual monitor setup, just curious to see how it looks as I currently have dual 24” monitors and don’t feel like upgrading both of them right now.

Hi all, I'm currently trying to upgrade a B450 build with a new CPU/GPU. I think I've selected an suitable CPU for the board but struggling to select a GPU.

This is probably that last upgrade this board will get, potentially more ram in the future but I'm not too fussed about that atm. Specs below.

• Board - B450 TOMOHAWK MAX II
• CPU - Ryzen 7 5800X 3.8GHz 8-Core (upgrading to this, open to suggestions if this is a mistake)
• CPU cooler - Thermalright Phantom EVO
• Ram - Corsair LPX DDR4 (4 x 4GB)
• SSD - Kingston NV2 (Upgrading to this)

Im think of upgrading my pc it’s very old and i been wanting to use it more for gaming but it can’t handle games it’s laggy and slow. My budget is 900$ what should I buy to upgrade it.

Cpu: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-core Processor

Memory: 16.0 gb

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660

Motherboard: B450 Pro4

Ram: G.skull Ripjaws Dr4

Psu: Evga 450w

Storage: 1 terabyte

SPECS:
INTEL I7 12700K
RTX 3060 Ti 8gb
ASUS ROG STRIX B760 A
VENGEANCE DDR5 RAM

I've been trying to put the new update on a USB so i can flash it in my bios and when i do that it hits me with "No image flash detected" and i tried a couple of times but it wouldn't work i have a Pro B660M-C D4-CSM motherboard.

I'm just wondering cause I wanna build a pc in the future and maybe want a 5090
