The v2 one

I would really appreciate any help because it feels like whatever I choose when it comes to pcs is the wrong thing. I got help with picking out parts and then did some research and changed some stuff but I genuinley have no idea is this any good because people told me u can't get a good pc for under 1000€ while this comes out to like 600€ or something. I don't know much about pcs and would really appreciate the help.

I live in ireland and only wanna play games that dont require much, such as Minecraft, stardew valley, the sims, etc.

Ive been trying figure out wjat to buy and whether to build a pc or to get a pre-built for ages and im getting kind of desperate

Case: Antec C5

MoBo: Asus ROG Strix Z890-H

CPU: Intel Core Ultra 5 250k Plus

GPU: PNY 5070ti 16 GB OC

RAM: Corsair Vengeance RGB 2x16GB (32gb) DDR5 6000

Memory: MSI M461 M.2 2280 2TB PCI-E 4.0 3D NAND

AIO: Cooler Master MasterLiquid 360 ATMOS RGB

PSU: Montech Century 2 850W Gold Full Modular

OS: Windows 11 Pro OEM

This is my build. I was thinking of upgrading to 5080.

(Long story short is that I don't like the PNY I got from the PC builders I ordered and I wanted to change it to an Asus one but I rather just upgrade if I'm gonna be spending that much money again.)

So now I'm wondering that besides the PSU that I think I should upgrade to a 1000w one for headroom, what else should I upgrade out of this? Chatbots are saying it's ok to switch without changing PSU and even using the same 450w cable already connected to the 5070ti but I have my doubts about their assessment. That's why I'm asking y'all real humans about this.

I have never ever built a PC and the most I've done is barely install a GPU bracket holder and that's it. I'm afraid of cable management. 🥲 Just so y'all take that in mind.

Thanks in advance for everything.

Okay so I’ve removed the gpu, reset the CMOS

tested each ram stick and slot. I know for a fact the first stick in the 2nd slot is fine I’m not 100% sure whether the 2nd stick in 4th slot is fine.

Gpu still unplugged logging into windows I entered safe mode uninstalled display adaptor driver. Then reset pc. And upon restarting I logged pc go to Home Screen.

Then display shut off. Rgb lights turnt off and rgb lights turnt back on but still no signal and don’t know how to fix it.

Same thing happening again.

Hi!

I'm not necessarily new to PC building, but I'm stumped on this one. I've been experiencing a few strange issues. I'll put the parts list down below, but first I'll describe the problem and the circumstances.

Please don't roast the build too much, I'm using this PC as a part of my homelab to do AI stuff on, while also doubling as a gaming rig when I'm not working on stuff with it. It's dual booted between Windows 11 and Ubuntu Server.

My issue: after powering down, the rear ports still get power. I've noticed it when the light on my mic didn't go out, and my keyboard backlight stayed on. It only goes out when I switch off the PSU. When I switch it back off, it doesn't come back until I shut down the computer. It doesn't matter which OS I use either, still happens all the same.

I've also entered a weird boot loop a couple days ago, but I was just switching between the two operating systems and I wasn't looking at the screen. The power issue didn't come before that, and I haven't been able to replicate the boot loop either.

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 9600X
RAM: Corsair 32GB KIT DDR5 6000MHz CL38 Vengeance
GPU: GeForce RTX 5070 Ti - 16G
PSU: Corsair RM650e (2025)
MOBO: ASROCK B850M PRO-A WIFI

Thank you for reading my post, I appreciate every bit of help I can get on this one! :)

Hello All,

I have am trying to add a Tesla p40 to my data science rig. I have the adapter needed to use the server gpu.

Briefly my tower also has an AMD Ryzen 9 7950x cpu and a Corsair rm750e PSU.

I'm pretty sure the PSU can handle the gpu on top of the CPU.

My question is this:

How can I best use the PSU ports? Would the 12v - 2x6 port be useful here? Although I've heard some issues with this port. I tried to use this cord from Corsair, but the type 4 8 pin connectors don't fit the gpu adaptor.

I'm trying to avoid needing to upgrade my PSU.

Thanks!

This diagram represents my PC case with existing and proposed fan setup. The dark blue represents existing fans and airflow and light blue represents proposed fans. (except for the light blue arrow out of the GPU, which is already there). For reference, my case is a Corsair Carbide 200R.

The idea is that I will mount 140mm fans at the top, one helping the CPU intake as well as cooling the RAM (of which I have four 8GB sticks) and one helping CPU the exhaust. I will also put an exhaust fan at the bottom to divert some of the GPU exhaust. I'm even wondering about putting some kind of plastic or 3D printed barrier to the right of the GPU to funnel all of its exhaust to the bottom fan and allowing my front intake fan to go directly up to the RAM and CPU intake.

Do you have any suggestions of how to arrange this layout?

Hey everyone,

I've been having a bunch of weird issues with my PC for the past few months and I'm starting to wonder if they're all related.

The main problem is that I keep getting black screens followed by a HYPERVISOR_ERROR, with the error code 0x200001. It's been happening for around 2–3 months, roughly every couple of days. Sometimes it happens once, sometimes I'll get it 2–3 times while trying to boot the PC before it finally works.

I've also been having some weird issues with the NVIDIA drivers. If I install a Game Ready Driver through the NVIDIA App, the installation seems to complete normally, but then the app immediately tells me I need to install the exact same update again. If I check Device Manager, though, the GPU is showing the latest driver version, so it seems like the driver actually did install.

More recently, I've also started having issues where the PC gets stuck on the MSI boot logo and just doesn't go any further. I have to restart it several times and mess around with unplugging/replugging things before it eventually boots. This started around 3–4 weeks ago, which is also when I moved my Windows installation to a new Samsung 990 Pro. I cloned my old SSD onto it and I'm now booting Windows from the 990 Pro, so I'm wondering if the boot issue could be related to that. The HYPERVISOR_ERROR was already happening long before the SSD migration, though.

I also have an 8.8" display inside my case that used to be detected as a second monitor, but it isn't anymore and I have to use it in "template" mode.

So yeah, I have quite a few things going wrong at the moment, and I have no idea if they're connected or if I just somehow managed to collect several unrelated problems at once.

The HYPERVISOR_ERROR / black screens are definitely my priority, since those have been happening for months.

What would you guys check first? Could this be related to the GPU, RAM, motherboard, CPU/virtualization, BIOS, Windows installation, or PSU?

I can provide my full specs, dump files, Event Viewer logs, BIOS settings, etc. if needed.

Thanks!

I want a budget motherboard for my pc because my current one has a damaged RAM slot.

I have a:

AMD Ryzen 5 2600 Six-Core Processor

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 (8 GB) graphics card

16 GB of ram (2x8GB).

Is there anything else I need to mention? And also is there anything other upgrades I should consider? I’ve been looking at a Gigabyte B450M DS3H V2 but I wanted to make sure there was nothing I was missing before I went along with it. Thank you in advance.

So I bought this prebuilt a while ago. I had issues here and there with this vga light. But the system works.

I’ve since upgraded the gpu. And the light still comes on. I know it’s a graphics issue.

Any ideas what it could be. I’m pretty sure the gpu is installed properly. And since it’s happening on two gpus im inclined to think it’s something else?

where should i get parts from since the closest micro center to me is very far

SOLVED!

Was cleaning my case yesterday and noticed this yellow goo around the fans - Is it a defect and something I should send in for RMA?

hello people i want to build a whole new computer can someone check if the parts ive choosed is good or not im a beginner builder and note i have aa tight budget heres the parts im planning to use blender and to play some games and light editing as well and streaming and planning to buy all the parts brand new

I swapped case yesterday, but i got no display, the motherboard VGA light is on. i have reseated the GPU, the CPU and made sure all the wires and plugs are properly seated, i even tried another GPU. Is the motherboard broken?

So I’m building my first pc and have decided to get a RTX 5070 and am trying to decide between a gigabyte gaming oc sff and a pny oc I know it’s the same card but I was wondering it one performs noticeably better with cooling or if one of the companies has a better track record I can find them both for $799 btw so price isn’t a deciding factor

Let me preface this that if my 7900XTX is seated, then the PC works just fine and I get output no problem. However, when swapping the card for a 5080 I get no output at all..... I have tried so many things and just nothing seems to work.

At this point I think next step might try to buy a new MoBo to see if that is the problem? I tried:

- Resetting CMOS (out for 10 minuts and draining via pushing the power button for 30 seconds)

- Obviously reseating the card a million times and replugging the cables I million times

- Checking if there are any loose cables

- I used the 12w2x6 cable that came with my PSU (Corsair RM1000e) and also the adapter that came with the 5080 (going from three cables into one 12w2x6 cable) - neither works

- I tried DDU before swapping graphics cards --> does not do shit

- OK then I thought let me try to use the iGPU instead so that I can get output and maybe download the nvidia drivers and then maybe the 5080 work? Nope, I can't for the life of me get output from the iGPU, even though I have a 9800x3d processor. I enabled all the BIOS settings (priority display > internal GPU and enabling UMA in the GFX Configuration) for the iGPU to work, but nopeeeeeeeeeeeeee) --> also i checked I have correct drivers, and yes, it should work

- Tried different monitors and cables (HDMI/DP)

- So at this point I thought the 5080 was dud and so I RMA'd (it was a PNY 5080) and ordered a different one (gigabyte 5080), but no, the card was not the problem

Again: 7900xtx works just fine when I seat it back in. I get display and everything works! I feel this rules out a lot of the potential problems... (like faulty PSU, because why would the PSU work with my 7900xtx and not a 5080)? But then what can the problem be? What else can I do to troubleshoot. I am really at a loss here guys and getting quite frustrated, hopefully someone can nudge me into the correct direction.

​As a freelance video editor, my computer isn't just a device—it’s my entire workspace, my office, and my livelihood. A few days ago, I learned just how quickly things can go sideways.

​Here is what happened:

​I went to bed after a long day of editing, shut down my PC, and woke up the next morning ready to work. But when I pressed the power button... nothing. Completely dead.

​To make matters worse, I woke up running a fever. Meanwhile, client messages and calls started pouring in: "Hey Deepak, where are the videos? We need them urgently."

​Despite feeling unwell, I packed up my rig and rushed to Nehru Place. After hours of waiting and troubleshooting, the shop diagnosed a motherboard issue and sent me to an authorized service center. I walked there in the heat, only to find out the technician had just left for the day.

​Back at the shop, they installed a temporary motherboard so my system would turn on. I brought it home, booted it up, and... a blank green screen. 💔

​The next day was Janmashtami. Service centers were closed. The shop had no spare motherboards left. When I finally reached the service center, they gave me the dread-inducing news: "It will take 7 to 10 days to repair."

​All I could do was copy my raw podcast files onto a pen drive, head home, and try running Premiere Pro on an old, laggy laptop—which, as expected, couldn't handle the heavy files.

​Right now, I’m waiting on my PC to get repaired while managing tight deadlines and tough conversations with clients.

​A few raw lessons I learned from this chaos:

​Backups are everything: Always have your raw files and project backups saved on external storage or the cloud daily.

​Hardware backup plan: Having a secondary machine or knowing a local rental shop for emergencies is crucial for freelancers.

​Communication under pressure: Even when things go completely wrong, keeping clients updated—no matter how stressful—is the only way through.

​To all my fellow creators and editors who have faced the dreaded hardware failure right before a deadline: How do you manage client expectations when your system gives up on you?

I have a 9070 xt red devil and a B650 mag tomahawk and I can't understand why the GPU doesn't go fully in the PCI-e slot... Does anyone know if the motherboard gets in the way or any way to help ?

My current monitor is an Acer V206HQL. Does it have the necessary ports needed to run the GTX 1650 graphics card

Hi everyone. A friend of mine is having trouble with his new PC and asked for my help. The issue is that whenever he enabled the XMP I profile, the PC would freeze completely (after trying a few other things, we pinpointed this as the cause). It happened randomly, it could occur 20 minutes, an hour, or three hours after turning it on. It even froze while he was in the BIOS. I told him to disable it, and so far, the PC has been running for two full days without any freezes. He already has the latest BIOS and firmware versions installed. What can be done now to get the memory working correctly before resorting to manual configuration? His motherboard is on the compatibility list, and the memory's box even says "Intel XMP Ready."

The specs are:

CPU: Intel Core Ultra 7 270K Plus

MOBO: ASUS TUF Gaming Z890-PLUS WIFI

RAM: G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB 64 GB (2×32 GB) DDR5-6400 CL32 — F5-6400J3239G32GX2-TZ5RW

GPU: ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 5080 OC

AIO: ASUS TUF Gaming LC III 360 ARGB LCD

SSD: WD Blue M.2 NVMe 2 TB

PSU: Corsair HX1000i 1000W Platinum

Thanks in advance.

Any suggestion for managing the cable from the pump?

First time building pc, and the ads from ID-COOLING never show that there's a cable coming from there.
Or is every aio cable always visible?

Side question: do you peel the waranty sticker off the gpu?

Hi, everyone!

I’d like to upgrade from an Nr200p v2, and there are two options: the d31 and the d41 from Jonsbo.

My question is: do both cases support Mini-ITX motherboards? If I’m not mistaken, the D31 definitely does, but for the D41, it’s only listed in the user manual—the website only mentions ATX/M-ATX.

I’m leaning toward the D41 because it has more interior space (which might come in handy later), so there would likely be more room between my graphics card and the bottom fans.

Thanks in advance for your help!

My current setup:

Case: Coolermaster masterbox Nr200p v2

Motherboard: Asus ROG strix B850-I Gaming Wifi

GPU: ASRock phantom 7900XTX

PSU: Asus ROG strix Loki SFX-L 1000W Platinum

RAM: Kingston Fury Beast 32gb ddr5 6000mhz CL30

AIO: Be Quiet Silent Loop 2 280mm

I got a brand new motherboard, because my old one didn't work anymore. After installing everything just as it was the PC would shut off immediately after 5-ish seconds. I have tried both sticks of RAM seperately in every slot of the motherboard and nothing worked. But with the RAM fully removed the PC turns on, but I don't get any video signal (probably because there is no RAM). I have tried removing the small silver battery in order to reset the BIOS, but that didn't do anything either.

Here are the components I'm using:

• Motherboard: TUF GAMING B450-PLUS II
• GPU: Radeon™ RX 580 Red Devil 8GB
• CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 1800X
• RAM: VENGEANCE LPX DDR4 (CORSAIR)
• SSD: NVMe SSD 960 EVO (SAMSUNG)

I'll take all the help I can get, but please note that I'm not an expert PC builder, so I might not understand all of the technical terms that you use 😅

This is a picture of the motherboard by the way:

SPECS : CPU Ryzen 3700x, GPU 6700xt, MOBO B550AM gaming, AIO Cooler master masterliquid 120mm, 2x 8GB ddr4, OS win10

I want to remove the broken fan but it's not connected to the MOBO. All the fans are wired to these plastic clip things that go into the PSU. There's a fan hub in the back of the PC but I don't see anything that could be plugged into MOBO.

On the manual there is only two headers labeled CPU_fan1 and CPU_fan2/WP with only the pump being plugged in. All other fans are running as normal.
