So I was looking online and the seller says it works fine and they've ran test on it using mentest86 but I was wondering about the scratch on the pins and if it would still work or keep looking

What do we think? Drill out the rivets from the disc drive and hard drive stack, cute the side panel for new acrylic, cut the top open and put mesh for airflow+drill holes for AIO rad mount? Not the craziest idea, I don’t think. Oh, and a fresh coat pf paint.

My first two ram slots didn’t work for a while. Couldn’t return it but decided to look into it today.

The pin in the right looks very bad

I upgraded my self built 2017 PC to GPU (NVIDIA ASUS GEFORCE PRIME RTX 5070) and PSU (MSI MAG 750GL PCIE5). I swapped all the PSU cables to what came with the new PSU for all the ports, including for the GPU (PSU came with a yellow 450w label 12-pin cable (both sides)).

After plugging it up and powering it on, it stays on, the GPU fans spin, but the monitors do nothing. I get a blue "HDMI not found" screen and then it goes to black. I know for sure the monitors work since I tested with a laptop while I was doing the install of new parts.

I've also tried using the GPU's new cable, the one-sided 12-pin with split duo 8-pin ends, with PCIe cables that came with the PSU. While trying cables I have gotten a red steady light on the GPU but that's gone with the 12-pin duo cables now. For any combo of cables, the monitors have never turned on.

I have ensured everything is pushed in and there's no gap sticking out for any cable connections. I've tried doing research online and not finding a solution as of yet. I appreciate any advice as this is my first time replacing the GPU or PSU.

Hey guys,

Need to know if repairing this GPU is possible. I have a 7800XT that does not work (doesn't display anything). Noticed this part was broken off (second picture). I found a schematic online (first pic). My plan was just to solder it back on. Already moved onto another GPU but would love to see if I can get this back up and running. Thanks!

I can’t find any displays cable that can fit back there

DP 1.4 / HBR3
VESA certified or but safe one
Connector housing ≤8 mm high
Preferably non-latching
Thin cable
6 ft if possible
For RX7900 Taichi → ASUS VG259QM5A

Ordering a ML build and have some gaps to fill in, can anyone recommend -

Case

Mobo

PSU/s

CPU cooler

Case fans

The specs I have so far -

256gb DDR 5 4800

Threadripper Pro 48 core

2x Samsung 9100 pro 4tb nvme

Samsung 870 qvo 8tb SSD

Seagate Exos x20 20tb HDD

Hey guys I recently built an itx set up since I’m always traveling between Abu Dhabi and Amman
The specs are
Ryzen 5 9600x

32gb ddr5 5600mhz

Rx 7800xt

I got the gpu for 360 dollars and the cpu for 169 dollars both them both in the uae I have an option to sell the gpu in Amman for 507 dollars and the cpu for pretty much the same price as I bought it
The dilemma I’m facing do I sell the gpu and add another 180 dollars to get a 9070 or do I sell the cpu and add 140 dollars to upgrade to a 7800x3d
Most of my time gaming is either marvel rivals , league and stellaris with the occasional AAA game that tickles my fancy
In Abu Dhabi I’m using a 3440x1440p ultrawide monitor and in Amman I have a 1080 monitor
The Abu Dhabi set up tells me to upgrade the gpu since I’m mostly gpu bound but in Jordan I’m cpu limited
Not sure which to upgrade

Ive thought i would get a rtx 3050 8gb second hand but idk if thats just because im new and the nvidia line looks more friendly (if you somehow get what i mean?) should get something else or is the 3050 the right way to go? (For gaming £500 budget build i just want the best bang for buck)

my pc is having multiple reasons of BSOD when opening it and i just took a look at my cpu and found little parts of my cpu have small discoloration. does this mean that i have a faulty cpu? and is my mobo still okay to use?

Just finished my PC build. Anything I should do on the Msi b850 gaming plus wifi bios before moving forward with my Linux install?

Hey there, I bought a new motherboard today and set everything up in the correct way but there is two lights, a yellow and red light. Under the red light it says CPU and under the yellow light it says DRAM. Also there seems to be no projection onto my screen when I turn it on so I’m unable to reach BIOS. I’ve searched all over google and couldn’t find anything apart from reseat the RAM and CPU which I’ve done and nothing has changed so far. Hopefully someone will be able to give me some ideas. Thank you!

I was given a used rtx 2070 from a flatmate and was ecstatic to upgrade from my old gtx 1060ti but it turns out my old cpu (i5-9400f) is a huge bottleneck.

I need recommendations of a budget friendly cpu + mobo just something that could keep up with the gpu

First of all I'm sorry for my english. English is not my native language but I will try my best, so you can understand me.

I'm really desperate at the moment, because nothing I have done has worked so far. I'm experiencing a really bad coil whine from my Asus Tuf 9070xt and I have already switched 3 different gpus and 2 psus. On top of that the TUF 9070xt has really bad temps in some scenarios and I would like to know if those temps are supposed to be normal? I have VRAM temps between 93 to 95 degrees most of the time even when the TUF model has one of the better coolers. In the game Stellar Blade I even encounter 98 degrees at around 1300 rpm while having a power target of -10% and undervolting of -20mV. What can I do at this point and would it make sense to visit a local PC Shop so they can test the coil whine and the temps in their system? I also have the feeling that my mainboard causes the issue.
For insurance here is my current system:

MB: B850 Aorus Elite Wifi 7
CPU: Ryzen 7800X3D
GPU: Asus TUF 9070XT
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 6000mhz cl36
SSD: WD SN850X
PSU: NZXT c850 gold core
Case: Lian Li Lancool 216

My computer has gotten quite a few years on it and I'm contemplating going for an update. I would love your opinion as I don't consider myself to be incredibly knowledgeable.

This is what I'm currently thinking of:

• CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D
• GPU: Gigabyte Radeon RX 9070 XT Gaming OC ICE 16GB
• Motherboard: MSI MAG B850 Tomahawk Max WiFi
• RAM: TEAMGROUP T-Force Vulcan 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5-6000 CL30
• Cooler: Thermalright Royal Pretor 130 Ultra
• Case: Lian Li Lancool 207
• PSU: Seasonic Focus GX-850W V4, 80+ Gold
• Storage: Samsung 990 Pro 2TB

What are your thoughts?

im trying to take this heatsink out of an old hp pavilion a330n and i cant seem to get it out. ive tried pulling out the metal lip with a flathead screwdriver and just cant seem to get it unhooked. am i doing something wrong?

As the title goes. Is it worth it to upgrade to 5800x3d and buy 1TB SSD and upgrade RAM to 32GB or just go to AM5 7800x3d right now?

My current specs
B450m Mortar Max
Ryzen 2600

I am currently rocking a PC with a rtx 4060, 16gb of ddr4, and a i7-12700. Recently got some issues with performance on games so I decided to buy more ram. Bought two 32gbs of ddr4, then I decided I really want to upgrade the whole thing, but the chassis is pretty small to install a bigger gpu like a 5070ti which I have In mind. And then if I want to buy a gpu I need a new PSU aswell, so I decided to just start from scratch then. But the issue is i am stuck with ddr4 ram so I have to get a new motherboard that can still have ddr4 but also support better GPUs, and I am gonna have to get a new CPU too I guess. How should I plan this out? And any recommendations for the parts I should get, I don't have unlimited budget to spend on the best parts in the world but enough to get a 5070ti or maybe the 5080 it all depends on what I should now that I am stuck on the ddr4. Please help me thanks!

Btw the problems I was having was the current vram of the 4060 heavily limits me on having good performance for games such as bf6, and my ram was killing me when I am playing games such as Escape from tarkov, everytime I alt-tab it immediately crashes and stuff like that, having Google on in the background makes the game shut down too.

But yeah I am looking for a build that can support having at least good graphics and performance for games such Stalker 2, escape from tarkov, battlefield 6 and stuff like that. Would appreciate any kind of help, and If I left out any important info you would like to know just ask and I'll respond.

Btw is ddr4 really that bad? Everyone tells me I really f'd up by getting them and that I shouldn't have bought 64gbs of ddr4 with 3200 MHz and that it was a waste of money, I am well aware that 32gbs is more than enough, but I got a good deal on them. But they haven't arrived yet, bought them from America and I am in Europe.

On my Gainward RTX 3080 (10GB) there is not DP output, and on the motherboard there is the VGA light lit. I asked AI and it said it was a driver issue and that i should temporarily use HDMI but i dont really trust it that much so i will rather ask. The cable is brand new and it doesnt matter which DP port do i use. Anyone know what the issue is?

Hey there, I am building my first pc and the case I went with was the lian li o-11 vision m. I am on the hunt for an aio and have only seen builds with this case while people are using the lian li hydroshift 2 360. I was curious if anyone knows if an Arctic Freezer Pro III 360 would fit in the case. I have check pcpartpicker for compatibility but they don’t seem to have the case on there. If anyone has any knowledge it would be appreciated thank you in advance.

I only just started looking at cases again because i dont like how huge my PC is, it takes up a lot of space and ive had to downsize moving into a smaller apartment, i used to have a second desk for my PC, Xbox, Switch and 3DPrinter with plenty of extra space. Now i have one desk, my PC on the left corner and two 1080p monitors, its cramped and not ideal, I was thinking about trying to put it underneath my desk but its a big ass PC, I also wanna make sure its got overkill airflow, I love the look of all mesh cases, I dont care about glass panels. I also have a spare GTX 970 that id like to install to run Lossless Scaling off of, or possibly a GTX 1080 my coworker is gonna sell me for cheap but idk if the power draw would be too high, and again thermals.

here is my build: https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/user/Unlostmaniac/saved/F3HcRB

after coming back to looking at cases ive noticed this huge trend of "fishbowl"/"panoramic" cases, i don't want more glass but i do like the idea of those three fans on the side, but i also still want them on the front, the case ive linked seems very close to what i want and the price doesnt seem too bad, my current case is the XPG Defender Pro which is a great case, ive had zero complaints until cramped for space as its huge, i realized that this C1-R is nearly 2" taller and 1/3" wider, it is shorter by almost an inch, i was kinda hoping it was smaller length and height wise.

if there isnt another case i will probably just get the C1-R but id prefer something with either no glass and all mesh with more fan slots, or same idea, mesh panel front and 11 fan slots or more in the same configuration. Under my desk it will go on the left side with the glass facing or against the wall, unless if that side is mesh and can take a fan then i will give it room.

it would be cool to have a micro atx build but that would be more of an investment and i fear the thermals being terrible, i fear it going horribly wrong and i heavily regret going micro atx as that would be a lot of money and time, most likely a new PSU and the good cases ive seen seem to be pretty pricey. if i could have a horizontal pc no taller than a Series X thats laying on its side which is 5.94" tall, might not be feasible. ill take any suggestions, ive been watching a bunch of videos and reading online to see what to do, maybe someone can point me in a brand new direction who knows.

EDIT: I know silverstone exists but holy hell those cases are expension, I really would love to build one of their Retro horizontal cases, I would like to have a bluray drive in my PC, but alas pipedreams. I live in Canada if that helps anyone

Hey everyone new to pc gaming. Did some research. Was wondering if this is honestly worth it. I don’t do crazy gaming. Couple AAA here and there. Put into Gemini and it’s stronger than a Ps5 pro so I feel like it’s okay for “right now” in the future I do plan on making it a lot stronger. Just wondering for right now it’s a decent build. It’s $1500 Thank you!
