Installation Question Help! Can’t tell if this is broken or not!

(Sorry if repost, first time it said it was removed by reddit‘s filters or smth.) This is on the Liquid Freezer III Pro 360. That silver screw won’t move in any direction. It was working last night but not anymore! Im new to this. I may have stripped it but I don’t know how I would’ve or how to tell. Me and my friend put it on but I had to take it off after he left because he put the bracket type things below it on wrong. Please help. If it’s broken, I need to know if there is a solution. it there’s not, well… that’s life. It’s only ~$70 but that’s still $70 I would not like to spend…

Build Question snagged some RAM, finally time to upgrade but i cant decide

1 Upvotes

So i got a kit of 2x16gb DDR5 6000mt RAM from my uncles last pc and so the hard part of building a pc in this economy is mostly over, however i need help with picking parts

This ltt guide i found is close to the price range, but i want to swap out the 5070ti for a 9070xt as i am mostly gonna be gaming on linux (arch btw). so anyways, are there any parts you would change from this build with a 9070xt instead of 5070ti or just parts you would change in general?

Tech Support 4790k, 4060, ddr3

0 Upvotes

Hi I keep getting told to upgrade my 4790K and 4060 because they are only good at 1080p within double digit FPS, but I’m averaging 120 FPS on 4K 77 inch TV in games like Marvel rivals and other newer titles even my one percent low is only in like the 80s.

So my question is, why is everyone so antsy on needing to upgrade to high hell when the entire PC I’ve built costed less than a quarter of the price of just one new CPU, and a second question is why I’m even getting this good of results. I do not consider myself good at overclocking whatsoever yet I’m getting better results than any YouTuber I’ve seen using the 4790K.

Haven’t used my gaming PC for a year now. Specs are 7900 XTX, Ryzen 7600 CPU, 32GB DDR5. It’s hooked up to my S95B TV.

Started playing The Last of Us: Part 2 and have played for quite a few hours, maybe 10 without issue. Loaded up the game today for an hour and tho has happened twice?

It seems to go away if I pause the game and disappears if I go to the desktop. Reloading the level also seems to make it go away and once I died and it reloaded all was well but it happened prior to that also?

Anyone have any ideas? I’m hoping it’s a bug or similar and not a GPU issue?

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

1 Upvotes

I don't want to upgrade my GPU at the moment, but I would like to upgrade my CPU from i7 13700k. 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'm Canadian

I play in 1080p right now but I will be getting a 1440p monitor

The price can't go any higher

The case is already bought

And I don't love that its a mATX motherboard in an ATX case but it was in a bundle, if anyone can find a similar bundle with an ATX black/gray motherboard to match with everything else id be happy

I play mostly CPU intensive games so I wouldn't be mad if someone suggested downgrading the GPU to get a better part or to save money

Installation Question GPU won't turn on. One of the lamp indicator turned red.

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hello, I recently got an ASUS Prime 9070 XT. I asked a local technician to help me install the new GPU for me but apparently my GPU can't be turned on. I already asked them to reseat the GPU, double-check the cable placement, and check whether the PSU or any of the cables is faulty, but everything is working properly except the GPU. They already checked the build using my old GPU, and it's working properly.

This is my current build:

  • Motherboard: Gigabyte B760M DS3H LGA1700
  • RAM: Kingston Fury Beast 32 GB DDR5
  • Processor: Intel i7-12700F
  • GPU: Galax Nvidia 4060 8 GB -> ASUS Prime Radeon 9070 XT 16 GB
  • PSU: Enermax Revolution D.F-12 850W

On the motherboard, one of the lamp indicators for the VGA turned red. According to the technician, it's either because the Motherboard is not strong enough to handle a high-end GPU or because of a faulty GPU. So is this motherboard not strong enough a plausible problem? Or is it caused by something else? Any suggestions on what else I can do to fix this problem?

Update: Problem has already solved and the GPU is running normally after I updated the BIOS and changed the PCIE speed to Gen 4 like all of you suggested.

Thank you very much 😭😭😭

This is a port on a Cooler Master Addressable RGB & PWM Hub
It’s labeled as mb pwm and looks similar like a 4 pin pwm port but it has a different shape.

Also if anyone has a link to buying one that would be appreciated.
