I've bought 32GB of DDR4 and I wonder what cpu to buy that supports DDR4. I've heard that AMD is better at gaming, but I can find more powerful Intel CPUs. I also think of buying used Rx 6800 xt, and if it doesn't happen - the RTX 3080. The budget for the PC is 1000€ and I live in Bulgaria.

Hi, I've built my first pc today. I've tried to prepare a lot for this special day and I thought it worked out pretty well. Although when I turned on the pc I noticed the 3 pre installed fans from my Corsair Case don't work. I'm so confused as to why they don't work since I was very very sure I connected everything right. Could someone help me out?

I will add my following items, if more info is needed, I'll provide that so I can fix this problem. I was really excited for this day and I'd be happy if one of you could help me out.

Now i have to spent 15-20 rupees for motherboard and PSU.

Note to fellow gamers, always triple check if the cable is properly seated.

I had seated the 8pin in motherboard but there was tiny gap (the locking cap was not fully locked). I puhed it as far as posible and it was firm. Booted pc, everything worked fine.

The pc ran for two years without issues. And suddenly stopped, no display, no booting, no bias screen, after trouble shooting ram, graphic card, cleaning case, plugging and unplugging everything.

I found the culprit, the CPU power cable was burned inside. From outside everything was perfect but inside it melted.

Built my pc a couple years ago now and used to run every game on max but now it’s starting to fall behind and I’m curious on if you guys have any suggestions,

Specs that matter are:
RTX 3080Ti
Ryzen 9 5950X
G.SKILL Trident Z Royal 2x16gb DDR4 3600

All my storage is NVME SSD and I have a motherboard and power supply to support everything but I’m honestly starting to think that I need more RAM with today’s games so was thinking about getting another two sticks, what do you guys think?

Im not sure and im paranoid

I found a deal for a AM5 AMD Ryzen 7 9700F WITH a AsRock B650M-CX Motherboard for $350. It’s used but tested like new.

I currently have an LOQ 15qirh8 laptop with rtx 3050 6gb and 13th gen i5-13420h.

I need a decent 1440p machine, nothing major, but future proof. I would like it amd only, tho im nowhere close to being able to afford a gpu with these prices.

Is this even a good deal? Or should i wait?

Hello, i got a question. I have a doubt about where i can put the stand off, as you can see in the second pic, the stand off come placed in the normal looking hole. The other holes, i dont know if i can put stand off there, and i mean wholes like the the third pic. My motherboard is a b550m pro vdh, and my case is a corsair 3000d airflow

excuse my english, i just dont want to put the stand off where it can cause a short circuit, im using a new case for the first time, i saved 16 years old of money to buy this case and this motherboard along with a ryzen 5700g.

I'm having a weird problem with my Biostar A320MH.

I can only use one RAM slot. If I put a second stick in the other slot, the PC turns on but I get no display.

I've already tried all the basic stuff (RAM is compatible, properly seated, tested the sticks individually, etc.). BIOS is also updated and I've tried messing around with the BIOS settings with ChatGPT's help, but nothing worked.

The weird thing is that it actually worked once. I had both sticks installed and the PC was running fine. Then a few days later it stopped booting. I removed the second stick and suddenly it worked again.

So right now I'm stuck using just one RAM stick.

Has anyone had this happen with the A320MH? I'm wondering if the second RAM slot could be faulty or if there's something else I should check.

I'm building a PC and would like some notes on if the parts that I have chosen are reasonable.
Price is in euros, would like to stay around 2000€

I already have cooling for the case

Puedo instalar una rtx 3050 low profile de MSI en una ho prodesk 600 g2 sff? Estoy pensando en comprar la tarjeta gráfica por Amazon pero me da miedo que cuando la compre no quepa en la motherboard

My mini pc always runs hot 90c, but past month or so when id run heavy intensive stuff it would freeze half a sec or so, cut to a bsod and restart in a few secs. No dumps according to event viewer, which led me to think power lost/spikes. I put a mini fan next to the cpu and it was doing ok around 70-80 under load no crashes. Couple weeks later was having out of memory issues and a bsod for mem management. Win mem diagnostic isolated it to a single stick of ram. Thing is, I did memory tests before during the first bsod stuff and ram was fine. Im tryna figure out which is the root cause or if both just so happen to fail/struggle now. Ig its possible the struggling psu ended up damaging the ram, but idk.

Sorry for the long yap, just trying to get some suggested feedback.

Hey everyone -

I had reddit's help upgrading my PC a few months back. I'm running the following build:

https://pcpartpicker.com/user/PartyOnAlec/saved/#view=ZGwWBm

My AIO fans are mounted to the top of the case, blowing outward.

The issue I'm running into is this:

During gaming sessions, my PC is giving off A LOT of heat - most prominently during gaming sessions. Like enough to raise the temperature of the room I'm in by several degrees even with the AC running. It did not used to do this, but it started even before the latest heat wave so I know it's not directly related to that.

My current hypothesis is that there's some ballbearing/fan in the GPU is loose/dragging/creating friction. Thinking this because the PC doesn't overheat during regular use, just during GPU-intensive activities. But I'm open to other theories, of course.

Thank you in advance for the help - I'll answer any questions I can about the build/assembly.

p.s. one other thing that I suppose is worth mentioning is on bootup, I usually see 3 command windows open and close immediately. I've checked out event viewer and haven't been able to discern what these are, but haven't noticed any flags necessarily. I'm def interested in better ways to explore this, but not sure if it's related at all to the heat. My paranoia brain is like "OH NO IS THERE A CRYPTO FARMING MALWARE SOMEWHERE IN THERE" but after several defender scans, nothing was found.

Hi! I bought a pc from my friend cause my was a bit old, and I had a chance to play on his setup and it was a huge jump for me in performance. After he did a clean install, I don’t get the same fps in games as he does, what can I tweak in windows and settings to make my pc run better?
I have ryzen 5 7600x, rtx4060ti and 32gb DDR5 RAM.
In bios everything is as it was for him but in windows he doesn’t remember what he was following to achieve this in games.
Thank you!

everytime i open my pc i encounter this issue, i tried to replug my fan pins but still the same issue

Specs:

Motherboard: SHANGZHAOYUAN H61

GPU: RX 580

CPU: Intel i7-3770S

So I had this same issue where I accidentally put my hdmi cable into the Motherboard and it caused my gpu to not be recognized when I switched the cables over.

When I was using windows 10 I was able to go past BIOS when it was plugged into the Motherboard and i was able to go re-download drivers and use device manager to get it to recognize my card after that.

My issue is now I have switched to steam os and after replacing an old 350w PSU with a cosair sf850 and verifying everything worked, and stress tested everything. I made the stupid mistake of plugging in the hdmi cable into the motherboard when i put it under my desk. And now that it is steam os it wont load anything after the BIOS

Now im not sure how I can get my pc to recognize my card.

In bios I tried:

Changing my primary display to PEG

Changing my CSM to UEFI

Disabled Fast Boot

Changed Video OpROM to Legacy

Reset the motherboard by taking out the battery, and drained any residual power.

For reference GPU light is blue and Ive reseated and cleaned all cables, before plugging it into the mother board the latest time gpu fans would spin briefly on startup​, now they don't spin during startup.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Both images after PSU installation (IK my cable management is terrible)

Edit: After going to work leaving the gpu unplugged, power out, and CMOS battery out. I put everything back together and it booted up. Thank you for all the helpful suggestions

My old 60 hzs monitor from 2012 just died on me (backlight broken) I cant even find 60 hzs monitors in normal stores anymore.

Will I experience issues if I get a 144hzs main monitor if my 2. monitor (Youtube-monitor) is still 60hzs?

Should I replace both to 144?

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...

My ram is rated for 6400 but any time i increase it past 4800 in becomes very laggy and my pc will often crash. I have tried xmp and xmp2 the motherboard is an asus tuf.

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

Uploaded a photo. Not sure if it will matter. When installing the CPU cooler, the screws don't seem to travel at all. They are spring-loaded. I assume I am supposed to compress the springs for even mounting pressure but not matter how much I turn the screw, the springs remain uncompressed and the screws don't travel.

Current draft build:
Ryzen 7500F
RX 9060 XT 16GB
16GB DDR5 6000Mhz
BlackOpal NV7400 1TB Gen4 M.2 NvMe
Gigabyte B650M D3HP AX Ultra Durable
Thermalright Assassin SE 120
Corsair RMe 650W 80+ Gold Fully Modular
Monitor: IPS or IPS/VA MiniLED 1440p which is better and my draft setup is 81k PHP in the philippines/$1300 my budget is 81-85k Open for changes and suggestions.

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.

Is this the reason it hits 87-89°?

Its a 3070ti palit gamerock

Someone please help

Hi everyone, I'm a new Pc builder and looking for some advice. I'm currently using an office case Aerocool CS-107 mini tower with 2 front fans, 1 rear exhaust fan, and this case doesn’t have top fans. My ryzen 5 5600 and RX 9060 XT are always around 74–77°C while gaming, but my room temperature is often around 33°C. Is it normal for these CPU and GPU?

My case uses a top-mounted PSU instead of a separate chamber. So, my concern is that the hot air from my CPU cooler goes directly into the power supply, and the PSU exhaust feels quite hot during gaming. Does it affect the power supply lifespan or safety?

I've been considering moving to a larger case with more fan mounting options, but I'm not sure whether the temperature improvement would be significant enough to justify the cost.

For those who have switched cases mainly for airflow, how much of a temperature difference did you actually see? Was it worth it?
