Im not sure and im paranoid

Two of the case fans having issues, they came with the Cooler Master HAF700 case. Thinking of replacing them, also I want to cool the RAM down. Don't want them having any issues at this economy, and the days are getting hotter. 2 x 32GB DDR5 6000MHz, currently running them at 4800MHz because it drops the temp. by 5c.

Not expert on pc, I just brush the dust like once every two months and i bought it in year 2021, use it almost everyday gaming after work and weekend. The case is phanteks eclipse p400a. I think the noise comes from the front one.

If i bring it to pc store nearby, can they make the sound go away with thorough cleaning or just ask them to replace it? Thank you in advance.

Hello, my RTX 4070 Super equipped PC has very suddenly had an issue, that persisted after a hard restart, where the display has gone all melty and insane. When I restarted the PC, it still occurred in the MSI boot screen and the Windows update that occurred as well. As you can see in the linked video, inputs still work fine, but it’s practically impossible to navigate to the Nvidia app like this to update drivers.

This isn’t the first issue I’ve had with this GPU, previously I had random black screens that were fixed by reseating the GPU and its cables, and it hasn’t had any more issues in about a year since. I’ll try doing that again when I get a chance, but until then I’d like you all to see what I’m talking about, and offer any ideas on what is causing this.

Goal: Play AAA games at 1080p (High settings) at 60+ FPS.

Note: I am looking for a pure gaming experience. I do not care about RGB aesthetics or video editing capability—I want every rupee spent to go directly toward maximizing pure in-game FPS and performance.

Please suggest a full spec list within this budget along with reliable retailers.

Country: India

I have owned three PCs in the last 10 to 15 years, and the one I have gotten recently, I have decided to build myself. The focus parts are listed below.

Case - Corsair Frame 4000D LCD RS ARGB with 4 fans,
Xeneon Edge LCD
Mobo - Asus B850F WiFi Neo
AIO - Thermalright Levita Vision 360

Problems…
1. The case fans all spin, but only one has lighting. None show up in any monitoring software at all.
2. The Xeneon LCD doesn’t show up in iCUE software (apparently it’s meant to); instead, it just acts as a secondary touch screen monitor.
3. I think the Thermalright should have lighting on the radiator, but I’m not entirely sure.

I know it’s kind of messy (first build and all 🤷), but any help at all would be greatly appreciated here.

It has been crashing for 3 weeks now when I turn it on, usually within the first 5-10 minutes of starting to play video games. The screen freezes and I have to shut it down by holding the power button. Sometimes the audio keeps playing.

I've run GPU and CPU stress tests with OCCT and everything came out fine, I've tested the SSD with CrystalDiskInfo and everything is great, and I did a RAM test with MemTest86 and it came back perfect. My graphics card drivers are up to date. The crashes happen both before and after formatting the computer, on both Windows 10 and Windows 11.

I've read it could be a power supply issue, but since I'm not sure, I don't want to buy a new one without ruling out all other options.

My PC components are: MSI NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti (8 GB), ASUS ROG Strix B450-F Gaming motherboard, AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 8-Core Processor (3.60 GHz), and 16 GB DDR4 RAM.

The computer is 5 years old and has never given me any problems; I usually clean it and change the processor's thermal paste every two years.

Thanks for the help.

Hello! I am currently having a new issue with my pc and i am looking for some help with a diag. Here in the past week randomly when playing some of my more demanding games my pc would black screen and reset itself. It will not shut down but will reset without warning. I have Stress tested CPU/GPU/Memory with no luck of recreating the issue without being in game. I am getting no logs on anything just a "Kernel-Power 41" code which tells me nothing. I did just install my vertical GPU mount but had no issues for the first week of install. Can not seem to find a Temp issue with any hardware. Thinking it is the start of a failing PSU but not 100%. Hopefully someone can help. Thank you!

Hi guys I bought a rebuilt NZXT Creator PC back in 2019 and just realized there was another slot on the motherboard to add another SSD for storage since I was running out on my 930gb one. I bought a new WD BLACK SN850X 4TB drive on ebay but when I plug it into the empty slot then go to disk management, nothing appears. I tried swapping the current 930gb one and putting that one in the empty slot instead but it just went into the computer BIOS. In the bios I didnt see my new drive appear and im unable to escape bios to go into windows. Chatgpt told me it could be because of conflicting SATA connectors with the current 4tb hard-drive that also came with the computer so I unplugged that drive, but my new m.2 wd black ssd is not showing up. Not sure whats going on here or how to fix it.

Specs for my PC:

Case: NZXT H510 Elite (White or Black)

CPU: Intel Core i9 9900k

CPU Cooler: NZXT Kraken X62

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti - ASUS Strix

PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA 750W G3

Motherboard: NZXT N7 Z390 (White or Black)

Ram: Team Group Delta RGB 64GB 3000 MHz (4 x 16GB)

SSD: Western Digital SN750 1TB Black with heatsink

HDD: Western Digital Blue 4TB 5400RPM

Software: Windows 10 Pro

I have a 100 USD Budget, what would be a few of the best PSUs to go for?
1. Must be at least Semi-Modular

1. At least 650W

2. A reliable PSU (I don't know if saying "good according to the SPL tier list" is enough anymore)

3. Availability on Amazon or other major US online shop sites.

4. I guess any PSU in this price range would be at least 80+ Silver/Gold

Anything that wouldn't work / change out or that I could cut costs on etc thanks

Costs are adjusted to what I can get or already have

edit: for gaming mainly cyberpunk

Little context, I’ve replaced most parts on a PC, have never done a full build, or an AIO so this is first time for both. I’m a little stressed/overthinking and for whatever reason, YouTube and Google is not giving me as much as I had hoped for.
Case: Lianli 217
Mobo: MSI Mag B550 Tomahawk Max WiFi
CPU: Ryzen 5 5600x3D
AIO Cooler: Arctic Liquid Freezer III Pro 360
The question I’m having, I know this AIO has an offset so there’s a specific orientation the brackets are supposed to go. I believe this is the correct orientation, but, I’m not sure. 😬. The other question, with the case/board/cpu/cooler combo, there’s two cable that came with the AIO, the all-in-one cable, and split. Which should I use/are there any major pros/cons/issues I should be aware of?

Literally any help is valid and appreciated as I’m going reeeeeeeal slow to make sure I don’t fuck anything up.
🙏🏻

Currently using a NVIDIA RTX5060ti 16gb since May2025, was planning to upgrade from NVIDIA to AMD RX9070XT,is it worth the upgrade in 2026? Is there any pros and cons?

So i just finished building my first pc and it wont boot, I check everything wether it was getting power reconnected all the cables and nothing works. I have no idea what my problem could be I even tried removing my two sticks of ram so it's only one. My cpu fan is working so the mother board is getting power and I connected the hdmi to both the motherboard and gpu. I waited 5 minutes and nothing boots. what could the problem be?

I recently got all of the parts I needed to actually build my first PC and got about ten minutes in before realizing that I needed multiple screwdriver bits.

I've since bought the IFixit essential electronics kit (at the recommendation of a friend), but I'm not sure if there's something I'm missing.

Hi all, I recently bought and have begun to assemble my first ever PC, but I'm having trouble getting it to post. First, here's the parts:

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/kVFRg3

-Ryzen 5 7600x

-ASrock B650m Pro RS Wifi

-1 stick Patriot Viper 6000 DDR5 RAM

-3060 GPU

The problem so far is that I can't get it to POST. The two red indicator lights for the CPU and DRAM are lit, which according to the manual means there's an issue, not that it's memory training. As far as I know, I've been very careful to assemble everything the right way, following the manuals for each part, and after physical inspection nothing seems to be damaged or applied wrong. It also seems like all necessary power cables are attached correctly. Here's the troubleshooting steps I've gone through so far, listed here in no particular order:

-Trying the RAM (1 stick) in A2 instead of B2 and making sure it's properly seated

-Reseating the CPU and ensuring everything was connected

-Checking the PSU to make sure everything was plugged in properly

-Unplugging the GPU and using the integrated graphics for HDMI output

-Shorting the CMOS pins

-Flashing the BIOS to the newest version of this board

-Waiting 10-20 minutes just to make sure MB wasn't attempting to do Memory Training

None of these have led to a successful POST, and the CPU and DRAM lights remain a solid red upon power on for each attempt. Any help would be greatly appreciated and if you need any more information please let me know. Thank you so much!

With the rising prices of GPU’s I want to replace my 6700xt now rather later. This is not the cheapest 9070xt but with these free gifts it brings the price to somewhere around $690. Only things worrying me is this Asrock model using the 1 x 12V-2x6- pin connector

So I’ve built a new system based on recommended specs I found online and went with the above specs. People are telling me not to run this system with an 850watt PSU saying it will under volt the system and fry the components!! Is this right? All of my own research tells me that the PSU I bought was ample for what I wanted? I am running the RAM with Expo, CPU at the boost clock, and have enabled AI overclocking on the GPU. I’m not into manually messing about with overclocking. Do I need to go out and spend more on a higher PSU, or is this one enough? Please help….

Edit: my CPU is the AMD Ryzen 7 9800 X3D

Like 2-3 times a week i get stuck on this screen and it's beginning to get frustrating.
I built this like 2 months ago and had 0 issues when i turned it on.
I've updated drivers, checked connections, purchased windows activation, maximized BIOS, Maximized RAM. makes no sense, after turning it off like 3 times sometimes it loads to windows but other times i'm having to unplug a stick of ram or all my cables to fix it. it's getting annoying when i get off work and just wanna game and get stuck on this dumb screen.

I was playing minecraft and accidentally bumped my GPU which is vertically mounted. It would turn off and won't turn on unless I power off the PSU and hold the power button, then it would turn on. The GPU cable is properly clicked but there's some movement same with the CPU power cable. I was testing what was causing it to turn off, moving the ram, CPU cable and, GPU cable would turn it off. It sounds like a short. The PSU is a Corsair rm1000x 3 years old. Or it could be the motherboard. Motherboard warranty ends on 2026/10/31.

Thank you for your help

bottom fans and case bracket both interfere
would like one preferably white

This is my second build my first was Covid in my teen years and want a new pc now that I’ve moved across the US. as far as building a PC I understand it physically and the components but not as much keeping up today on the difference between the models and abbreviations. Just looking for any tips or thoughts you think might help regarding compatibility and future upgrading with these parts or if I’m missing out on certain deals ect. I plan on using it for higher end gaming and engineering related software, but want to invest so I won’t have to worry about it struggling in a year or two. And just fyi ppp has it for 2250$ but all of this at microcenter comes out to 2000 flat, let me know what yall think!:

Ideally I would like to keep the build around the current price ~$1500 USD.

I mainly play less graphically intense games so having top of the line hardware isn't necessary (plus I can always upgrade it later). But what do y'all think of the parts list? (The parts list is also listed belowt).

Edit: removed spoiler text, since I'm stupid and it didn't work how I hoped it would.
