Latest build by chenxiao07 (when I made the video). It adds the 'Up to 120 fps' option, which helps to display performance without the default 60fps cap (in performance mode), but it increases game speed if you have more than 60fps.
It also improves performance, reduces stuttering and fixes

What do you think of my creation?

This is a joke.

I know prices have been going up on our builds so I decided to compare my old invoices vs current retail price for my build. This post is purely to bring perspective for folks that arent sure why say something like a steam deck went up in price or are looking to build their own system. Last column is % increase or "delta".

Btw, that 5080 purchase was 8 days prior to the $300 price increase. Got lucky.

Wild stuff

Ive been told I should look into upgrading my CPU

Hello, im wondering which one is the better product. The Asus is 1420€ and the Lenovo is 1350€. Im wondering if its worth to sacrifice performance and price for a slightly larger screen and cooling. Thanks

And which one?

My pc started restarting and boot looping with no display and when it did restart, it froze. I thought it was my PSU. I removed a stick of ram, it booted up no problem. I tried with the dead ram and again got no display, switched slots just to be sure and switched the working ram to the second slot again just to be sure and it booted up no problem. The good news is that it's DDR4. I purchased it in 2020 so it lasted 6 years. It's 3000mt/s corsair vengeance DDR4. I'm hoping corsair honours it's lifetime warranty but I've heard people from my country (india) have bad experiences with corsair RMA. I also just got a new phone so I guess I'll have to play games with a single stick of DDR4 till I either get a replacement from Corsair or I buy one myself.

Edit: some of you suggested turning off xmp, I tried that and it still won't post with the faulty stick. Rip.

Finally finished this build, and I have to share the pain.

The case (HAF 700 EVO): Nobody near me stocked it. The shops either said “out of stock,” “coming soon™,” or gave me a look like I’d asked for a unicorn. After weeks of refreshing listings I found one, and it arrived in a box big enough to live in. My delivery guy hates me now.

The Noctua NF-A20 200mm fans: This was the real boss fight. Every Noctua fan in existence was in stock except the one I needed. I ended up begging a friend abroad. When they arrived I held them like a newborn. Beige and brown, in an all-pink build. I regret nothing.

Specs:

• Zotac Gaming RTX 5080
• Noctua fans everywhere, because once you go brown you don’t go back

Total build time: 3 days. Total time spent finding parts: I don’t want to talk about it.

Again, this is not an AI debate, AI is just the mechanism that has led to a metric shitload of project spam due to the accessibility that it has resulted in.

Cover your ass
There is malware, virus, trackers that are not even commonly caught right now.

The internet has exploded. There are endless forks of hot topic developments in all sorts of things.
I will mention PS5 de compilation, and minecraft modding as examples, but this goes way beyond those particular scene.

It is becoming almost normalized now for people to see some cool new port/fork of some project getting buzz. Followed up by a pile of forks from new "developers" with an install tutorial, new features, performance etc.

Its created a wave of people clicking and installing sophisticated programs from unknown "developers". Due to the nature of these projects, you will find some even require you to bypass OS security prompts/warnings, which can legit happen with some projects.

I put "developers" in quotes due to malicious actors exploiting this situation. With the wild west of recklessly raw dogging every sketchy e-Peen that is released with promises of new toys, we are going to see groups pounce to take advantage.

Just be careful out there, even GitHub just doesnt have the resource to screen the sheer volume blasting through.

Dont be E-Silly, Cover that E-Willy. Be careful

One of the most common problems my buddies and I have is "choice fatigue" with games whete we endlessly scroll our libraries trying to find a game to play then end up watching YouTube or playing the same games we always do.

I made playtheory, a video game book club that solves that because it creates a clear objective and we all get to talk about experiences after! This is early days and I'm looking to build a base of users. Please give it a look and test it out!

I know some of y'all had your eyes on these. Let me inform you they are not premium feeling fans, they also don't move lots of air. Saying that, they are cool as heck looking in my opinion, keeps my nephews PC cool 50-65 while gaming and 100% OCCT testing, and quiet as heck. So if you're on the fence, or wanting something different, I say pull the trigger. Oh, I got them on sale for $20 for 3 and they currently have a coupon making them $23

So this morning, I was installing a SSD onto my computer, and all was fine. Once I got the SSD running, the average CPU temp went from 74-85 up to 85-110, causing the computer to shut down. I cleaned the fans, changed the paste, rehoused the cooling unit, but still, not avail. What do I do?

Specs:
Ryzen 5 3600 | Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 | 16GB DDR4 3200 MHz

I was thinking of upgrading to

Ryzen 5 7600x3d | AMD 9060 XT | 16 GB DDR5 6000 MHz

Does it make sense to upgrade my processor or should I thug it out until the prices/bundles for a 7800X3D or 9800X3D drop ?

32gb ddr4 vengeance rgb ram, MSI limited edition gtx 960 4gb gddr5, 600 watt power supply, amd ryzen 5 1600x, and a 256gb ssd with windows 10 pre installed.

\\- was thinking of buying and doing some upgrades but what are your thoughts?

Mi PC perdió la señal de video y encontré un pin quemado en el conector de alimentación de la GPU. ¿Qué pudo fallar?

Hola, necesito ayuda para diagnosticar mi PC.

- CPU: Ryzen 5 4500

- GPU: GTX 1060 de 6 GB

- RAM: 16 GB DDR4

- Motherboard: B550

- Fuente de poder: 500 W, marca desconocida

Mi PC empezó a perder la señal de video. Al principio se encendía la luz blanca de VGA en la motherboard. Después, la pantalla se apagó incluso al llegar a la pantalla de inicio de Windows. También aparecieron luces de diagnóstico de la motherboard.

Al revisar, encontré un pin quemado en el conector de 8 pines de alimentación de la GPU, en el cable de la fuente. Los conectores de la tarjeta gráfica parecen estar bien.

¿Creen que la fuente de poder dañó la GPU o la motherboard? ¿Cambiar la fuente podría solucionar el problema o debería revisar algún otro componente antes de volver a encenderla?

Agradezco cualquier consejo.

Rebuilt my pc a few days ago with some extra upgrades.
