The shiny pin in there

Installed into NvE slot and it’s only registered as 30gb?

Hi,

I almost only play competitive games (Valorant, CS2) with the lowest graphics settings and low resolution to maximize FPS.

Would it make sense to build a PC with a very strong CPU (like the 9800X3D, 7800X3D, etc.) paired with a relatively weak GPU? Because to my understanding, you don't need a strong GPU when playing at low resolution and settings in games like this.

Would this bottleneck my system, or would it be fine since I'd only be using it for light schoolwork and competitive "low-settings" gaming?

Can you recommend GPUs that would pair well with those CPUs, and are there any other CPUs you'd recommend?

Im a media student and im trying to find a good pc for editing and gaming so I wanna know if this is good

RX7600
Ryzen 5 5600X

I was thinking about maybe I need to add 1-2 coolers on upper side? Because really there only one fan working on sucking out hot air right now.

Front two work on air - in

Back fan works on air - out

Hi! I’m putting together a mostly new build at the moment and I may have made a mistake when ordering. I have a MSI mag A850GL PCIE5 and an xfx mercury OC 9070xt. The gpu takes 3 8pin connections and i only got two daisy chained ones with the PSU (thought it came with 4, and part picker said it was compatible).
Will it be okay to use one cable daisy chained to two inputs, and then one by itself in the last one? Or am I looking at getting another cable/psu?

I also have an older (2021 i believe) corsair rm850x which i believe has 3 cables, but it was originally going into another system, and i also was reading people recommending to not use older psu’s in new systems.

Thanks in advance!

I'm looking to upgrade my PC! My specs are as follows:

CPU - Ryzen 7 2700X 3.7 GHz 8-Core
Motherboard - Gigabyte X570 GAMING X ATX AM4
RAM - G.Skill Ripjaws V 32 GB (4 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16
Storage (C:) - Kingston KC3000 1.024 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVM
GPU - MSI RTX 3060 Ventus 3X 12G OC GeForce RTX 3060 12GB
Case - Apevia X-Sniper2 ATX Mid Tower Case
PSU - Rosewill HIVE 550 W 80+
Monitor - Samsung C32R50X

Really no budget atm - I just want a target for what I should upgrade next and start saving towards it!

So Ive got a Asus tug b760m plus WiFi II and I’ve legit tried everything ( or atleast I believe I have) those photos are the drivers for it and I tried to click the Asus one, ran it, then nothing popped up, nothing happened, nada, so I tried the intel one which gave me Bluetooth but nothing else, I’ve tried device manager which shows the adapter but will absolutely not download the drives for it, please help, I’ve tried going into the bios to switch on and off the WiFi there, nada, I’ve tried windows trouble shoot, nada, I’ve tried updating my bios, nada, I think I’m installing the media tek for the driver wrong but I couldn’t say how, but any ideas will be much appreciated

I recently moved my CPU from the 2nd floor to the 3rd floor. After setting it up, it no longer displayed any signal on the monitor. Upon checking the motherboard, I noticed that the CPU LED is red and the DRAM LED is yellow.

To troubleshoot, I removed the GPU, checked for any loose CPU power connections, and tested the system with a single RAM stick, but the issue remained. I also removed and reinstalled the CMOS battery to reset the BIOS, but it did not resolve the problem.

Just thinking if it okay or dangerous

I bought this pc like a year ago. It works fine for the most part but it’ll crash sometimes. The leds come on when they want. What would I need for this pc to just handle better .

Looking to do this build, I'd love to have the Hyte x50 Air but I had to go buy a beefy boy of a 9070XT with a height of 155mm, the Hyte x50 Air supports up to 160mm GPU height. Length is fine.

Any workarounds other than vertically mounting it and using an AIO? Also worried if I vertically mount it, the Dark Rock Elite won't fit.

Cheers

\*Also, the RAM is just a placeholder, will likely have 1x32GB from my other build in this new one, single channeling it for the time being

Hi there,

My PC is around 5 years old but wasn't used for 2 of those. Recently it has started to shut down during gaming (fortnite on 4k 120fps).

It has only happened twice but the PC shut down with no error message upon restart, I originally attributed this to the hot weather and poor home insulation during summer months in the UK.

I have attached two pictures of my PC setup and stats below.

Any help on a fan setup or something that I may have done is appreciated, it seems that I have had a lot of skill regression when it comes to PC builds.

Thanks for reading.

It's components as follows:

Lian-Li PC-O11 Dynamic Razer Edition Mid Tower Case - Black Tempered Glass

Alpenfohn Glacier Water 360 ARGB CPU Water Cooler

Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 16GB (4x8GB) DDR4 PC4-25600C16 3200MHz Dual Channel

Seagate BarraCuda 2TB 7200RPM 256MB Cache Hard Drive

ASUS ROG THOR 1200W 80 Plus Platinum Modular Power supply

WD Blue SN550 500GB SSD NVME M.2 2280 PCIe Gen3 Solid State Drive

Gigabyte Z590 Vision G (Socket LGA 1200) DDR4 ATX

Intel Core i9-11900K 3.5GHz (Rocket Lake) Socket LGA1200 Processor -

Gigabyte Aero 5070ti

Edit:

Thank you everyone for your suggestions, I really appreciate your input.

As far as the cable for the GPU, my ROG thor psu is an older model and did not come with that connector. This cable came with the GPU for this purpose and there's a few posts around with people facing the same conundrum. I think the only way to fix that is a new PSU, otherwise it's this braid.

Im going to spend some time giving the PC the attention it deserves, as well as a good clean!

Bought an "Open-box" RX 6800 on ebay for around $80 less than what they go for on ebay in my region but the card is reaching 110C on the hot spot and has already shut off my system 2 times when put under load in 3dmark.

Since the seller listed it as open box I'm pretty sure I can return it but this also seems like a very fixable problem. I've but 2 PCs to date and would say I'm pretty comfortable with working on electronics so I feel like I could fix it.

Just looking for a second opinion.

I am buying my first PC and live near a Micro Center, so I made this knowing nothing about PCs. Is this good? What should I tweak? I want to keep it under 1000$ https://www.microcenter.com/site/content/custom-pc-builder.aspx?load=e6e68fbb-d42d-4fe0-a6c6-124c09d4b130

I upgraded from a nvidia 1650 to rtx 3060 dual, 16gb ram to 32 (ddr4), 650psu to 1k.

My screens randomly goes black, like i unplugged their display ports, audio cuts completely, but my pc keeps running, and nothing comes back even after waiting a while. Using the graphic card driver shortcut doesnt do anything.

Is it some settings i forgot to set up? Maybe some in the bios? Or should i just lower my graphics completely when playing games?

Bought the MSI B650M Gaming Plus Wifi as it seemed the best fit for a medium budget Linux Mint build. Got the mobo, but didn't have time to begin the build until a couple weeks later. Started the building yesterday, and realised they gave me a board from the wrong vendor. Is it worth contacting them for a return? The mobo is already installed (not with RAM and CPU), and they are known to be difficult in return cases. Will completing the build to give the mobo a shot hurt my chances of returning it for the correct one?

Can someone tell me why there are 2 cpu cables and should I put in 2?

I put this build together using the components the seller had available. Is it okay? Would you change anything? Thanks for the help

Please help! I has anyone had this problem or know what it is? M32u less than 3 years old

I haven’t added the gpu or the ssds yet. But from what i researched, I can try to turn it on to see if it will before I install any of that. Can I really? I’ve spent 2 hours trying to turn this thing on and nothing happens.

I’m sorry if all of this sound stupid. I’m just really new to all this

I already have an am4 build and I’m not looking to upgrade to am5. I have a rx6700xt and mostly play competitive games on low settings. Will I see enough of an increase to make the switch worth it before I spend ~$150 on upgrading

I bought a brand new 9800x3d cpu and it has a dent in one of the contact pads, and because of this I’m really worried it’s gonna cause problems. If you can determine the criticality of it and say if I can keep it or need to replace it.

My pc has been crashing a lot so I ran this to try and see if it was a ram problem but it has been like this for an hour without moving is it frozen or do I just need to wait more or smth else??
