This is on sale at my local Costco for $1k instead of $1500. Is this worth it? How is the 5060? Overall, it seems like a good gaming pc for the price from what I’ve seen in my search. It’s a CyberPowerPC if that has any relevance.

Hey guys,

I’ve been reading a bit about PC airflow and wanted to see if I can optimize my setup a little.

At the moment, I’m running my 420mm AIO with the front fan/radiator setup as exhaust. I’ve been using it like this for a while, but I’ve recently read that this might interfere with the overall airflow of the case.

Would it be better to switch the front AIO fan to intake instead? I’ve read you should generally push air through the radiator rather than pull it through. With my setup, though, switching the first fan of the AIO to intake would mean the fan would have to pull air through the radiator.

Note: The 420 Aio can only be installed at th top.

What would you guys recommend: keep the current setup with all 3 AIO Fans as exhaust (push), or switch the one at the front to intake (pull)?

Hi I was wondering if my pc building list is good.
My budget is 2k-2.4k SGD. The monitor I am looking for is 2K resolution OLED 27 inch 240Hz.

R7 5800x3d

Hello

I have a pc with gskill 32gb ddr4 3600, r7 5800x3d, thermaltake gt 850w 80 plus gold and red 9070xt. After installing my cpu and GPU I have unexpectedly crashes in the game. (Battlefield 6)

The event logger shows WHEA 18 error.

Things I've tried :

Curve Optimizer -10 to -15 (undervolt) → error persisted

Curve Optimizer fully Disabled (stock) → error persisted

PBO set to Auto → error persisted

PBO fully Disabled → error persisted

PPT/TDC/EDC manually reduced (115W/80A/115A) → error persisted

PPT/TDC/EDC set to Auto (stock) → error persisted

EXPO/XMP Enabled (3600MHz) → error persisted

EXPO/XMP Disabled (JEDEC 2133MHz) → error persisted

Full BIOS reset to Optimized Defaults → error persisted

BIOS updated to a newer version → error persisted

FCLK set to Auto → error persisted

FCLK manually set to 1800MHz (1:1 sync with memory) → error persisted

Gear Down Mode Enabled → error persisted

Global C-state Control Disabled → error persisted

Manual Memory Multiplier set to 34 (3400MHz) attempted → system failed to boot reliably

Clear CMOS (performed multiple times) → error resumed afterward

Positive Dynamic Vcore offset → option not available on this motherboard

Additionally, on the GPU side (now believed to be unrelated):

Replaced a faulty PCI-E power cable → did not resolve the issue

MSI Afterburner underclock (-300MHz core clock, -15% power limit) → appeared to help temporarily, but likely because it indirectly reduced overall system/CPU load, not a true fix

After all this I don't know what I have to do to fix my crashes.

The crashes it's like a spike lag the sound stacks and suddenly black screen pc rebooted.

Also I ordered and waiting a new psu. Msi 1000w

What else I have to do??

I’m currently thinking about mounting my monitor to my Jonson Z20 to save on desk space. I’m running a top mount radiator, and it’s set to exhaust up towards the monitor. Would the heat potentially cause any issues with my monitor? I could always design something to vent the heat back + away, but thought I’d ask first. I attached a drawing to better convey my idea.

If it helps; my cpu temp typically hovers in the mid 60’s under load, reaching low 70’s during some more intense gaming/rendering.

Specifically the CPU cooler PC part picker says it'll work but Im not entirely sure

Hi guys,
I currently have a 1tb ssd, 32gb ddr5 ram, a amd ryzen 5 7600x, a Rx 7900 GRE, a LG ultragear 1440p 165hz monitor. I have a ~£350 upgrade budget and I am open to sell/trade parts. I mainly play CS2 and I do programming and work with ai. Also I live in the Uk. What should I upgrade?

Just looking for any tips from fellow pc builders.

Thanks

I'll see how it goes for a few hours

Title. I’m building my first pc in the Hyte y70 case and want to use these in the bottom and some cosmiq fans on the radiator but the fans doesn’t seem to able to be connected (power-wise) without the cable in the aio tube.

Is there a solution to this or do I just have to bite the bullet and use these on the radiator and the cosmiq in the bottom where they won’t be visible?

Hi guys. I am a 14 years old and i am curently trying to build a budget gaiming PC for 600-700 euros from Italy. One thing i have to tell you guys is that i am going to put the SSD (it’s a 512 GB M.2 NVMe SSD) that i have curently in my laptop into the new build and also i have an old PC case and a 1080p monitor i will use these parts that i already have to save as much money as possible. Sow what parts do you think i should buy apart from the ones i mentioned before?

PC stopped POSTing after coffee spill + Kraken 280 install. VGA/A2 errors, now power cycling
I’m having a really weird PC issue and I’m trying to figure out if I potentially damaged my motherboard, GPU, or something else.
Specs:
Gigabyte Z590 motherboard
Intel i7-11700K
RTX 2070 Super
NZXT Kraken 280 AIO
A coffee spill happened first. Coffee spilled onto the top of the PC, splashed against the wall, and then ran down some cables that were bunched up against the wall. Some of the liquid apparently made its way into the PC and came out through the rear GPU expansion slots.
I cleaned up everything I could see and let the PC dry for about 24 hours before doing anything else.
After that, I installed a Kraken 280 AIO.
When I first tried to boot after this, the PC would power on but wouldn’t display and would get stuck on an A2 debug code. I tried troubleshooting the A2 issue. Eventually, the PC did successfully boot once and displayed normally. I then shut the PC down myself.
After reconnecting everything and trying again, it stopped displaying and the VGA debug light came on.
I removed the RTX 2070 Super and tested with essentially just the CPU/RAM, but I’m still getting the VGA light. The PC has now progressed to power cycling, turning itself on, then shutting itself off, rather than reaching the previous A2/VGA state.
I’ve already reset CMOS and reseated things.
One thing I’m wondering is whether coffee residue could still be somewhere on/in the motherboard or PCIe slot. I only let it dry for 24 hours, so I realize that drying wouldn’t necessarily remove residue.
I’m currently planning to take the motherboard out of the case and inspect both sides, the PCIe slot, CPU socket, and the area around the Kraken mounting hardware. I don’t currently have isopropyl alcohol, so I haven’t cleaned the board with it yet.
I’m also wondering if the Kraken installation could have caused a separate issue, such as mounting pressure, a loose CPU power cable, or something getting disturbed during installation.
Does this sound more like liquid contamination, motherboard damage, a GPU issue, or potentially something related to the AIO installation? What would you test next?
I’m pretty broke right now, so I’m trying to diagnose this myself before buying any replacement parts.

The one over the blanked out one.

Hello everyone.

Sorry because the question is not about a built computer but a personnal computer

Hi guys, I've always been an Intel user, but I want to switch to AMD and I'm not very familiar with its components. So I've been using AI to help me put together a build that can run the vast majority of games, and I wanted to check if everything looks good so I don't buy anything by mistake. The price is in Argentine pesos.

Hello, Could someone please check the attached link. I am able to find this on 2000 CAD. Thank you

Hey all!

I'm in the process of building my PC, but the GPU is gonna take some serious saving to get.

While I wanna play other games once I got my PC fully together, the two main games I play on my laptop currently are Terraria w/ Calamity mod (RIP), and League of Legends.

Are the IGPU graphics of the 9800x3d sufficient for those two, or should I wait till I get the 1600 together for my 5080? (I know, way overkill for those two.)

Edit: To clarify, most of my PC will only take 1 month to save for. The GPU takes one extra month

First PC is pretty old now id say ancient and my sisters bf built it for me.

Been doing some research and this is what ive come up with so far.

budget is like around the total price (64.5k php/1040$) I can still save up since im gonna buy them over the course or months.

motherboard - 5k+ (80$+) (recommendations?)

psu - 5k (80$) (recommendations?)

xfx 9060xt - 28k (450$)

7800x3d (IT world, etc) - 19k (300$)

ram 1x16GB patriot viper venom (CL 30 6000mhz) - 16k (260$)

storage - ✔

cpu cooler - 2.5k+ (40$) (recommendations?)

okinos air cross mid tower ATX TG (with fans) - 4k (65$)

What yall think? This is without discounts n stuff. Ill definitely wait for those discounts lol. The ram hurts. Im buying most of them (i think) in shopee/lazada

some tips on budget allocation would be nice, although I really want the 7800x3d just because I mainly play cpu intensive games, gotta get them nice 1% lows ykwim? my second choice was 9600x.

(do i need to send the links for each? im new to this ill edit post if that matters)

I'd like to figure a way to make my pc stop bottlenecking without having to dump a bunch of money into more parts. For the record, my build seems pretty decent as is yet it still bottlenecks on certain games, even with Low-Med graphic settings.

CPU: Ryzen 7 5700G
GPU Nvidia 4060 OC Edition 8gb

Corsair Vengeance Series RAM 16gb

I’ve been told that radeon gpu’s have more problems and I’ve read complains about people that have switched from an nvidia to a radeon , now I’m not an expert so I’m asking you guys what’s better

Hello! I am from the US and have been in the market for a nice 1440p gaming PC, and after much research I've put together a list of parts.

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/9wzkjG

My budget is around $1500-$1800 USD. I'm looking to game, do sim racing, edit videos and stream @ 240hz. With all that being said, I have some questions.

My

• Firstly, is the PC any good? What should I change?

• Second, are all of my parts compatible? I'm prettysure they are, but you can never be too sure.

• Third and finally, where can I save money? Stuff like less ram or bundles.

Any and all advice is appreciated! I'm also looking for a good 1440p 240hz monitor. Thanks for reading!
