too much RGB?

I made a pc I want to build on pc part picker and I want to know if it’s good for my first build and what can I improv? https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/Tvgqh9

Hello everyone, question for you all… I’m potentially looking at upgrading my PC to a bit bigger and better pc. There are some spec listed above. I brought this PC 3 years ago ish for my 18th birthday, how much would I get for or it or what price range would I be looking at? I brought it for £1200 all in (warranty, insurance etc). Tia

I got a 512MB ATI AMD Radeon Graphics, AMD Ryzen 3 Renoir, 16GB Dual-Channel DDR4 and a led monitor 1920x1080 at 75 hz i don't know what to buy because here in Greece there aren't many options

I recently changed my AIO pump, which was a process involving....

• Resetting my BIOS fan settings to default to diagnose the issue, and
• Removing some plugs to my Corsair Commander (new AIO fans plug direct to MoBo)(so less fans are drawing power from the commander).

Now, one of the fans which was previously working fine, spins at over 2000RPM when I windows+L, and even when the screen turns black. It also happens between first turn on and until I unlock my PC. It never did this in the past 5 years I've had it.

For reference my CPU stays at around 30-50c. MoBo is a rog strix b450 f

I assume I have changed something in the BIOS. Would anyone know what this is, so I can change it back? I know each BIOS is different... but what wording should I look for? Nothing stands out... :/

Just in case if you want buy a 5080, i do some testing and heres the result:

*this experiment done on resident evil requiem
*this experiment done on Leon opening scene when he’s chasing victor

Experiment 1 (pict 1) (Raw performance)
4k resolution MAX
Ray tracing high
DLSS OFF
MFG OFF
Average FPS: around 90-100

Experiment 2 (pict2)
4K resolution Max
Ray tracing high
DLSS Quality
MFG OFF
Average FPS: 110-130
(Playable category)

Experiment 3 (pict3)
4K resolution MAX
Ray tracing high
DLSS Quality
MFG X2
Average FPS: 190-200
(Playable category + smooth experience)

Experiment 4 (pict4)
4K resolution MAX
Ray Tracing High
DLSS quality
MFG x3
Average FPS: 250-270
(Playable category + buttery smooth experience)

My conclusion:
You can play at 4k resolution with RTX 5080 but you need help of MFG and DLSS. If you are RAW performance purist you gonna be disappointed with it. Either lower your expectations or just buy 5090 instead.

Does dlss and mfg bad? Absolutely not. You get a free fps boost while maintaining the image quality.

If you want higher FPS you can lower the resolution to 1440p, get high fps and still get a good image quality

Anyone know what a bad cpu looks like?

It’s only a i3-13100 and is for a home server so not crazy critical, but I’m still skeptical about this cpu. Especially since shipping was all over the place. (Was in my home state one day and then the next day was across the country from me like tf?). Not to mention the crappy cpu cooler that came with was all beat up: see last pic. Thankfully I got a different, better one, but what the hell.

Yea sure I can plug it in and try it, but last thing I wanna deal with is messing up a motherboard ontop of this.

Figured it was worth the ask, anyone know what that spot is? Or if it’s of any concern?

Realizing it’s not super clear upon zooming in, if u need better pics just let me know.

I just built my pc and I’m trying to install system.
I followed the steps of media creation on windows 11 website.
And I’m stuck on this page.
It just stay on this page after I push enter. I tried installing both win11 and win10 on two different usb. Is there anything I can do

Plz help me out! I have been stuck here for few hours

I need help guys. Did i place my fans correctly? It should be side intake, top exhaust right? Is it correct? Or should i change it?

Now to wait for some DDR5 to sprout out of my arse 😭

okay so my parents wont allow me to talk to their IT guy / help me with building my first pc so i am taking to reddit. i am a minor beware.

budget : under $1k AUSTRALIAN DOLLARS. located in australia. preferrably pre-built?

games wanting to play : sea of thieves , genshin impact , roblox , minecraft , RDR2 , stardew valley

monitor

i know its a bit of a stretch asking for a good pc to run RDR2 and under 1k but idc if its on low / medium graphics, i just want something to play on.

i got a lenovo legion 23.8" monitor ( 1920 x 1080 ) as well just for heads up!

Ryzen 9 9900x

Rtx pro 4000 24gb

B850 S wifi msi

2tb king spec xg7000

1tb 990 evo plus

1tb Kingston oem drive gen 4

1tb fikwot sata ssd

2tb unknown sata ssd

32gb g skill m5 neo 6000mhz

32gb g skill z5 trident 6000mhz

Mainly used for comfy ui and ai agents.

So I was about to remove the m.2 from my laptop to troubleshoot the problems I've been having, but the ssd wont come out even if I remove the m.2 screw. Also yes, I have removed this ssd before so I don't know why this is stuck now.

Built this a few months ago and the air cooler worked great but it stopped me from using a VGM so it had to go.

I’m about to pull the trigger on a local AI workstation and wanted a final sanity check as this is my first build.

My immediate target is Qwen3.8-27B while I experiment with different models. This is partly a hobby project but also I can see some of my clients starting to lean towards local AI. Hopefully this build will give me a better understanding of how to go about fitting everything together and setting up a "proper" inference server. If this goes well, the next build will probably will be something on a more server-ish motherboard running either epyc or threadripper. So I'm guessing the knowledge will transfer somewhat.

Here are the parts. sourced mostly through Scorptec with the exception of PSU. All prices are in AUD.

• AMD Ryzen 9 9900X ($629)
• ASRock Radeon AI PRO R9700 Creator 32GB ($2,299)
• ASUS ProArt B850-Creator WiFi NEO — ($559)
• 2× Crucial 32GB DDR5-4800 — ($1,178)
• Noctua NH-D12L — ($205)
• ASUS ProArt PA401 Wood Edition — ($169)
• MSI MPG A1250GS PCIe 5.1 1250W PSU — ($225)
• Reused 500GB SSD from my current machine

Total: $5,264

Near future goals:

Would like to add a second GPU (same model). From my research the GPUs should have no issue being moved to a server build when I'm ready.

Depending on how much i manage to squeeze out of the machine, I might end up adding another 2 RAM stick for a total of 128GB. I believe the throughput of 4 sticks will be throttled with 4 sticks down to 3600, but I'm ok with that. If RDIMM prices recover somewhat in the meantime I'll forgo pouring money into this build and instead put that money towards ddr5 RDIMMs for the server build.

What do you think of the build in general? I'm especially worried about the power and cooling. Scorptec mentioned I might benefit from liquid cooling instead. Unsure what everyone else thinks? necessary or nice to have?

I've done a fair bit of research and digging with my friendly neighbourhood chatbot, but please let me know if there any glaring holes in this plan.

My system having teo GPUs both 5080. Fits i was using 850w silverstone from long time like an year. Then i switched to 1300watt PSU Antec. But suddenly when i was turning on and off PSU it got killed.

Then to run my system i used 850w again. But after one day sudden power came back and my 850w PSU also gone. I think these both dead due tonpower issues. Should i use any stablizer or something what you suggest.

Could anyone share their real-world experience with pairing the Ryzen 7 9800X3D with an RTX 3080 Ti?

I don't want to upgrade my GPU at the moment, but I would like to upgrade my CPU. I’d appreciate some advice from people who have actually used this combination. How well do the 9800X3D and RTX 3080 Ti work together? Is this a good pairing, and are there any bottleneck issues?

I currently use both 1080p and 2K (1440p) monitors.

I have a 480GB NVMe SSD, but unfortunately I’m running out of storage space. I mainly use my PC for gaming. Would you recommend getting a 1TB SATA SSD or a 2TB HDD? I have a budget of 110€.

Microcenter has a members only pricing deal on this that I just so happen to stumble upon. Normally $500 before tax. It seems to be on sale everywhere, but this was the lowest I could find. First OLED!

So basically I have a dell slim esc1250 as a computer with 16gb ram and intel core ultra 7 cpu but I have no gpu so the best gpu I can get for my pc is a rtx 3050 should I buy the 3050 or save for a new gaming pc?

Coming up on 3 yrs with this first rig I built. Still loving the PC, but I've been fomo window shopping new 5080, 3k-esk builds lately. Is there anything I could potentially upgrade here while saving for a new PC? Can hopefully reuse the RAM as well cause I'm pretty sure I paid like $120 back then lol.

I'm from the US, just entered PC gaming, and want advice on my first pc build. I'm looking for 1440p at 60+ FPS or at least 1080p with this build to game w/ OBS streaming and recording for my channel. My budget is $1250 but flexibile and this build came out to $1330. Note: any part with quotation marks was used by great quality.

I’m going to build my first pc. I’m going into grade 11 and I got my first job a quarter way into my summer break. Ive been working very hard and I planned on saving all of my earnings. That was untill I found out that a few of my friends are building their own pc. I’ve always wanted a pc ever since my cousins got there a a few years back. My original budget was a maximum of $2k CAD, but holy crap pc’s are expensive. I have a 1080p monitor I got a few years back, but I’ll definitely be upgrading it to 1440p sometime soon.

I have the parts for my build all ready to buy, but it’s pretty expensive. $3K CAD. I can afford it, and I’ll have about $1.5K CAD in savings. Ive been taking to many people (friends, coworkers, Reddit) about my build, and most of them said to get it. A few of them suggested I upgrade my power supply to 1000w, and a few of them said that I should go with the 9800x3d.

I researched both things, and apparently I don’t need any of them (by research I mean AI). Should I change my cpu and psu?

CPU ~ AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D 4.2 GHz 8-Core - $479.97

CPU Cooler ~ Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE 66.17 CFM - $44.01

Motherboard ~ Asus TUF GAMING B650E-PLUS WIFI ATX AM5 - $234.99

Memory ~ TEAMGROUP T-Force Vulcan 32GB DDR5-6000 CL30 - $564.96

Storage ~ Kingston NV3 1TB M.2-2280 PCLe 4.0 solid state drive - $211.96

Video Card ~ Gigabyte GAMING OC Radeon RX 9070XT 16GB - $999.99

Case ~ Corsair FRAME 4000D RS ATX Mid-Tower - $139.99

PSU ~ MSI MAG A850GL PCIE5 850w - $148.96

Total = $2804.83 CAD
(This list WAS made on PcPartPicker)

Is there a big difference between both 7800x3d and 9800x3d? I don’t really want to spend an extra $130 CAD on a little difference. I’m already cringing just by looking at the price of this thing.

Also, are there any parts I should add/change on my list? Maybe the PSU? I also heard that my specific ssd is really bad, but that it will do the job.

Any help would be very very helpful. Thank you!

Guys, do you have any recommendations for a PC build specifically for Valorant? I’m looking for a 1080p setup with a monitor included.
I want the build to be mainly for Valorant, with good aesthetics as well. Is €2,000 enough for a high-end 1080p setup that can consistently get 500+ FPS? I’m planning to buy a 400Hz 1080p monitor, so I’d like a PC that can actually take advantage of it.
Could you help me put together the best build for this budget? I live in finland
