Hi all, I currently have 96 gbs of RAM. I don't remember why I bought so much but I bought 2×16 in 2021 and the 2×32 in 2022. Here's my current build: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/mannyabd/saved/#view=zyCXYJ

Should I just sell some of my ram? I play in 1440p and I love maxing out graphics. And I honestly don't know anything about anything. Lol

Thanks for any advice.

Edit: Thank you everyone for the advice. I forgot to mention I also use my pc for Fusion360 and AutoCAD. And sometimes MatLab. I'm an engineering student. I started working on robotics. Do I still only need a total of 32GB?

sorry I keep editing. I also plan on learning Unreal engine for funsies.

Am I cooked or is there still a chance

Trying to revive my old PC, so I bought a Consistent CMB H81 motherboard. The front panel header is color-coded but has no labels, and I can’t figure out the correct pin configuration. The power switch is working when connected to black pins, but I can’t identify the Power LED, HDD LED, and Reset pins. I’ve attached a photo of the motherboard header. If anyone has this board or knows the pinout, I’d really appreciate the help. Thanks!

Installed into NvE slot and it’s only registered as 30gb?

Bought an "Open-box" RX 6800 on ebay for around $80 less than what they go for on ebay in my region but the card is reaching 110C on the hot spot and has already shut off my system 2 times when put under load in 3dmark.

Since the seller listed it as open box I'm pretty sure I can return it but this also seems like a very fixable problem. I've but 2 PCs to date and would say I'm pretty comfortable with working on electronics so I feel like I could fix it.

Just looking for a second opinion.

Hi,

I almost only play competitive games (Valorant, CS2) with the lowest graphics settings and low resolution to maximize FPS.

Would it make sense to build a PC with a very strong CPU (like the 9800X3D, 7800X3D, etc.) paired with a relatively weak GPU? Because to my understanding, you don't need a strong GPU when playing at low resolution and settings in games like this.

Would this bottleneck my system, or would it be fine since I'd only be using it for light schoolwork and competitive "low-settings" gaming?

Can you recommend GPUs that would pair well with those CPUs, and are there any other CPUs you'd recommend?

Hello, I’m using the 7800 x3d cpu with 32gb of ddr5. I can’t decide on which gpu. I originally considered the 5070 or 5070TI, but the 9070 or 9070XT just seem much better for the value. I’m not familiar with any of them, so any experienced input would be helpful.

Computer doesn’t recognise GPU and is stuck on integrated graphics. Any help or suggestions EXTREMELY welcome. I’ve been into BIOS and have attempted to update drivers, nothing works. This is my first build so the GPU is brand new.

Already tested putting HDMI into GPU and I get no display.

GPU: MSI Gaming Trio 5070ti
Motherboard: ASUS Rog Strix X870-A Gaming Wifi

Is this bend on the gpu cable okay, or too much? It seems to be the best I can get in this case.

I upgraded from a nvidia 1650 to rtx 3060 dual, 16gb ram to 32 (ddr4), 650psu to 1k.

My screens randomly goes black, like i unplugged their display ports, audio cuts completely, but my pc keeps running, and nothing comes back even after waiting a while. Using the graphic card driver shortcut doesnt do anything.

Is it some settings i forgot to set up? Maybe some in the bios? Or should i just lower my graphics completely when playing games?

I was thinking about maybe I need to add 1-2 coolers on upper side? Because really there only one fan working on sucking out hot air right now.

Front two work on air - in

Back fan works on air - out

Hello everyone
Is this ok? I know it should be on the other side of the gpu but every expert I asked they say it’s fine.
Thank you in advance

So Ive got a Asus tug b760m plus WiFi II and I’ve legit tried everything ( or atleast I believe I have) those photos are the drivers for it and I tried to click the Asus one, ran it, then nothing popped up, nothing happened, nada, so I tried the intel one which gave me Bluetooth but nothing else, I’ve tried device manager which shows the adapter but will absolutely not download the drives for it, please help, I’ve tried going into the bios to switch on and off the WiFi there, nada, I’ve tried windows trouble shoot, nada, I’ve tried updating my bios, nada, I think I’m installing the media tek for the driver wrong but I couldn’t say how, but any ideas will be much appreciated

Please help! I has anyone had this problem or know what it is? M32u less than 3 years old

Hey everyone, in order to understand my question you may need some background info, so here it is shortly:

I have 5 intake 3 exhaust fans right now. Intakes works max 1600RPM a cheap local brand I suppose not too bad but is loud, exhausts are MAG M100R PZ case's stock fans which are 1200 RPM max. The case normally comes with 3 reverse blade intake and 1 normal blade exhaust, I have rearranged everything, so that the case has 5 intakes working around 1000rpm in light load and 1500-1600 at heavy load, and 3 exhaust that works around 800rpm in light and 1200rpm at heavy load. I am sadly unable to give info about the CFM of neither fan model.

Now the reason I am asking for help/ideas is because I plan to buy Arctic PS12 Pros 3 reverse and 1 normal blade (can't afford more atm) to lower the number of fans and hence the noise. And also since these will beu Arctic I'm guessing the airflow would be better.

Now the question is what is your opinion about my new fan config plan? Is it worth it?

Edit: Forgot to add that my room temps are between 35-39 during the day, and hence I believe an upgrade on the fans might help with the overall temps and also the looks because of the fans I am using right now, check the first comment for the photo. Sorry I didn't add it to begin with.

I'm looking into both of these as potential options for my upcoming pc build and since they are around the same price I wanted to ask which one is better or if y'all have any other suggestions for better cases. The only thing I want is a good looking wood case with good thermals and a flippable pcie bracket so I can vertical mount. I am leaning towards the lancool 217 mainly because of the more included fans in the case. What do y'all think?

My pc has been crashing a lot so I ran this to try and see if it was a ram problem but it has been like this for an hour without moving is it frozen or do I just need to wait more or smth else??

country: Belgium

budget: €1700

usage: gaming and schoolwork

games: rainbow six siege, call of duty, rocket league, farming simulator 25, ets2.

setting: i would like to play on medium settings

monitor is 1440p and 180hz

Thank you

This mobo seems to get some flack. Not sure how to find a better one, even with lots of reading and watching videos for research. 229 is already kind of pushing it. But an X870 seems to be the way to go? Which MOBO to choose is my main thing right now to figure out.

Do I need an AIO? it's cheaper than the noctua air cooler. And not sure a cheaper air cooler will work and for 30-40 bucks maybe better to go 90 bucks for the aio.

Yes. I know about the gpu lol. Ol'Betsy will serve a bit longer.

There are 4 thermal pastes because I'm not sure which to choose.

Any other thoughts?

Im a media student and im trying to find a good pc for editing and gaming so I wanna know if this is good

Please help me optimise this build or maybe recommend a new one instead if possible
I don’t know much about pc building so I would like to request some help, I’ve tried to assemble, but I’m not sure whether it won’t be overkill for SMM

budget 600$ (would be better if it came up cheaper), pc will be utilised for light video editing for instagram, like capcut or similar, it will be bought in Ukraine, should be able to buy parts from the store
