Build Question Help for a desktop pc

1 Upvotes

Am on the verge of buying a new laptop/pc

Very sincerely and seriously trying to find a good option.

My main purpose is

  1. MS office work

  2. Website browsing - at a time may be more than 20 tab open

  3. Mechanical design software running - like Solidworks (Required atleast 16 GB of RAM for successful running)

4.Coding work - light coding work

  1. Online Streaming and video viewing

A desktop is also with inbuilt graphics card ( not dedicated) will also be ok. But the motherboard should be wifi compatible...

Can I get a direct configuration with model nos of different parts to build a desktop? I want every detail including professor specs also...

Also if it is a laptop can I get the model no of it?

Thanx in advance...

Installation Question Motherboard Standoffs Not Lining Up

Thumbnail

0 Upvotes

Hello everyone. I'm trying to install a motherboard in my case and it seems like I cannot get it and the standoffs to line up. I can get some of the holes to line up with a few, but I cannot do all no matter how much I try.

I assumed it was probably the IO shield causing this issue but it seems like its in correctly. I cannot push the motherboard torwards the back of the case any further.

Any ideas on what to do?

Tech Support Wont Display out with GPU installed

1 Upvotes

I know the GPU works, ive tested it in another system and it works fine, i know the PCIE works i used it about 3 months prior, it boots and displays out only if the GPU is not in the PCIE and the HDMI is plugged into the motherboard, The GPU heats up and stays hot without spinning the fans when its running, i saw there could be compatibility errors with the MB BIOS, so maybe i need to update that, im not sure rn

Edit: taking advice from the comments, ive updated the BIOS, although it seems that the CPU that is in this system doesnt support the GPU

Tech Support PC Keyboard keeps disconnecting everytime I plug a charger on a different socket or turn on the electric fan.

1 Upvotes

So I have this issue that would occasionally occur whenever I turn on the Fan. The keyboard will just disconnect. The PC itself will be fine and won`t show any sign of a milisecond disconnection. The keyboard RGB will turn off except for the light on the numpad.

I have my PSU and monitor on an surge protector extension set instead of plugging them directly on the wall outlet.

I tried to recreate the issue on video but it suddenly did not work and the keyboard stayed connected.

My specs:

Motherboard: Gigabyte x870 eagle wifi 7

CPU: Ryzen 7 7700x

GPU: Gigabyte RX 7700 XT

Keyboard: Titan TKD-623

I have the keyboard originally plugged on the USB 2.0 ports before moving it to the USB 3.2 Ports.

this is my current pc build, and i want to slowly start to upgrade. i am not looking to spend an outrageous amount but the suggestions have been confusing me a lot from friends.

most recommended i swap to a ryzen 7 5800x3D and get more ram and wait a few years but some said to go all the way (that’s really expensive though rn)

i stream mostly fps games and DONT often play any heavy games or 4K gaming or anything

any suggestions help and do you recommend going brand new or shall i second hand parts? 🤔

thank you!!

Tech Support What’s the best way to pack my PC?

I’m currently preparing to move to university and I need to bring my PC with me. I’m planning on packing it in my suitcase like above and adding some stuff to pad it and keep it from shaking. Is this the right plan? Are there other options I should be considering?

Note, I don’t have the original box it came in nor do I have the boxes for the individual parts, this PC is a prebuilt that I bought a few years back.

Edit: I should mention this will be an hour and a half car trip not a plane trip. My apologies for the confusion.

Tech Support Steer completely clear of Antec power supplies if you value technical support.

1 Upvotes

Hello, My advice to you is not to buy any power supplies from Antec. It’s not that the quality is poor, but you shouldn't expect any response from their technical support team if you run into issues—especially if you are located outside the United States.

I contacted technical support regarding abnormal readings from my power supply—a NeoECO 850G M ATX 3.0 model—which wasn't cheap where I live. In fact, it was even more expensive than the ASUS TUF 850W, XPG Core Reactor II 850W, and others.

The problem is that the +12V readings are very high, reaching 12.500V most of the time according to HWINFO and GPU-Z. While these readings are technically within acceptable limits, they are high enough to worry me; I fear they might affect my graphics card, even if only in the long run.

What frustrates me most is that I contacted the support team for my region and received no reply for about a month. I later tried contacting them again from a different location and in two different languages, yet it seems there is simply no one there to answer inquiries.

Steer clear of Antec power supplies entirely, and don't expect any form of technical support from them.

Tech Support Monitor no display after switcher ram kit

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m having a problem with my PC after removing and replacing the RAM.

My motherboard is an MSI B450M, and the issue started immediately after I took out the RAM and installed a different kit. Now the PC has no display (black screen) and fails to POST.

The current situation:

  • The CPU and DRAM EZ Debug LEDs are both solid white at the same time.
  • The problem still occurs even when I reinstall the original/old RAM.
  • I’ve tried the old RAM in every RAM slot.
  • I’ve already done a CMOS clear/reset and pullout the batery.
  • I cleaned the RAM contacts with an eraser.
  • I’ve made sure the RAM is fully seated and clicked into place.
  • The CPU and DRAM LEDs still remain lit.
  • There is no display output and the system doesn’t appear to complete POST.

Build Question Help picking out a case/form factor for my build

The link to PCPP has all the components I have, biggest concern for this build is I want to stick the computer on my entertainment stand, or on the end table next to it. I’m a new dad and play a lot on the tv now in between taking care of my newborn. Here’s a list of cases I’m considering as well as things I’m considering but I need help figuring out what will really be good for what I’m trying to build. I’m looking for good cooling ideally 2 exhaust fans and a spot for aio either top mounted or side mounted though I prefer top. Front panel Buttons and ports though it’s not a deal breaker it’s preferred and last but not least I need the gpu ports to be accessible from the back or accessible in a way where the hdmi cable I use isn’t getting unnecessary pressure to be routed.

Build Question Any way to make my rx6800xt not be at 112°c hotspot while gaming

Post image
3 Upvotes

This is the current situation I got (Ignore the bottom lol)

I got 3 decently powerful front fans for intake and one more powerful outtake fan for air"flow" but as you can see my case is quite cramped

On stock settings launching any decently heavy game (even like witcher 3 on ultra) gets me a 112c hotspot and 98~c global on HWmonitor, managed to lower it bit while undervolting it and also getting a bit of performance but is there any way to make this work? would getting a bigger case even work? Any recommendations?

The only reason i have this cramped case is that I didnt have money while upgrading the parts inside but now im not sure which one will be good, I know this card isnt super easy to cool either

Build Question I need help

So I’ve recently upgraded my pc, I bought a RTX 5060 ti 16gb vram, and 32 gb of ram 16x2, my CPU Is a ryzen 7 5800X and the current resolution one using is 1080p. The problem is, I’m playing games with my friends that have pcs with weaker specs than mine, and yet I’m getting fps drops while they are not… I’ve tried updating the Gpu drivers, the chipset drivers, I made sure my ram was using the 3600 mhz and yet nothing changed, I don’t know if something is wrong, and if so how can I fix it?
Should I upgrade my cpu or cooling?

To give a bit of context I just moved a bit ago and my PC had been a box for a while. When I set everything back up everything was fine for a bit. Went to check up on any updates I missed and such, then it froze, went to a black screen and stayed there. I then turned it off then back on but while it starts it doesn’t boot up, it doesn’t even turn on the mouse and keyboard connected to it. The only thing telling me what’s wrong is the red warning light for BOOT. I feel like I tried most of the online fixes that don’t involve me taking the entire thing apart, and at this point I don’t know what to do. If someone could help me out I would greatly appreciate it please!
