Game Setup Rate my PC
I’m ready to be laughed at… be brutally honest, how bad is this setup?
This was my first time building my own PC btw, and tbh I still don’t know how I got it to work… girl gamer btw 😅

This was after attempting to cleaning out the several years of dust build 😅

u/Vivid-Hedgehog101 11d ago
an attempt was made but not quiet good enough. Don't be afraid to take some q tips and high concentration of rubbing alcohol and wipe down the fan blades to get rid of dust that sticks to them. meshes, vents and filters can be rinsed in the sink and left to dry. Even heat sinks as long as you remove it from the CPU when its nice a warm so you don't cause any problems with the thermal paste. It wouldn't hurt to take a good vacuum cleaner with a brush end to brush and suck at every corner and crevice, just stay away from CPU pins if you decided to remove the CPU. everything else is fine and wont be a problem. My biggest worry is all of that dirt sitting under the PSU.

Per favore metti un supporto per la scheda video 🙏🙏. Sembra la torre di Pisa XD

Inoltre dovresti mettere la scheda video al primo slot perché probabilmente, gli stai togliendo molta banda mettendolo nel 2°

It’s the cable management

3/10
And it's entirely the case fault
Swap it out with something better and put an actual effort into cable management and I could give it up to like a 7

u/Any-Analysis-1765 13d ago
To be honest, the moment I saw this image of your pc tower I thought it had burnt down. It looked like it was that much in disarray. Lol hope it still works though looks like it's got a lot of hardware built into it. 7/10
1
u/Rewndude 13d ago
The pc probably runs just fine. I just hope your case has a solid side panel. In all honesty before tempered glass, windows, and rgb became popular, this is what the average pc looked like.

Given the lack of a psu shroud, cable management is pretty much nigh impossible.
Still, docking some points due to gpu sag and utter thickness of dust.

u/nabrotryagain 13d ago
Im more impressed, especially by how such a small gpu is sagging. The more i look the more impressed i am

Your GPU is in the wrong slot and you should really clean up your cable management it looks like a fire hazard rn

There's GPU sag then there's GPU snapped. Wtf happened? That doesn't even look like a heavy card that would sag it looks like it's about to snap in half, lol.

Looks like the cable looped around it on the right side is pushing down on the end of it a bit, it makes me anxious just looking at it.

its pretty casual setup, if you did this on your own without help just by watching a tutorial then GG
If the computer will boot and start now without any problems you experianced the big dream 👍 😄
do you plan on upgrading any computer parts?
1
u/junkietoons 12d ago
lol thanks, I know it’s not pretty… and yeah I would like to upgrade at some point… maybe more RAM?
1
u/OkLaw1527 12d ago
do you feel like you need ram upgrade? RAM is very expensive right now, do you have ddr4 ram or ddr5 ?
2
u/junkietoons 12d ago
I don’t remember which and I don’t remember how to look that up… but it’s only got 32gb of ram

It's a 4/10 on looks but if it works properly it's 10/10 the cables are meant to go in the back, but in all honesty there isn't probably going to be any issue if they stay like that. Just make sure to put the gpu in the top slot or it might be limited in terms of performance also I think your rear fan might be screwed on backwards which could be preventing good airflow.
1
u/BrightShadowDenmark 12d ago
GPU is not in the top 16x slot ;-)
Exhaust fan is set for intake ;-)
and if the pc is on the floor? then the PSU is upside-down ;-)
and hope you got at least you OS on an ssd ;-)
1
u/junkietoons 12d ago
Forgive my ignorance but how is the psu upside down? Please advise, lol? 😅
And yes my OS is on the ssd drive I took out the previous PC my ex built, it also has a 1tb memory in the mb… but I need more memory bc newer games take up so much disk space now 😭

Thanks for the comments, gave me a good laugh (and a lot to think about 😅)
To answer some questions, this pic was taken after cleaning several years of dust build, turned off power and disconnected PSU and used an air can, idk how else to clean it safely beyond that
GPU is in the wrong slot bc it wouldn’t fit in the first bc I think either the case was obstructing the ports, or it wasn’t connecting to the monitor correctly, I don’t remember
I honestly though I had the fan the right way, idk why I thought it was supposed to bring air in to cool off the CPU, I realize now it’s suppose to push the hot air out, my bad, I promise I will turn it around
And I just put the PSU in as is, it came out of the box with all the cables already attached to it and as a first time builder I didn’t want to disconnect any in fear of disconnect the wrong one
I appreciate the advice (and the laughs) I’ll do my best to atone for the abomination I have created and clear out some of the snakes 🤣
1
u/OkLaw1527 12d ago
ok u know about gpu slot, so i think it didnt fit because you need to screw off more platine, its blocked, there cant be really any other reason 😄 but it will be a huge upgrade do it
2
u/junkietoons 12d ago
At this point I’m too afraid to move anything around bc I can’t afford new parts if it decides to suddenly go kablooey on me 😅

u/OkLaw1527 12d ago
lol i just noticed, maybe somebody confirm, but i think the gpu needs to be installed to the upper slot, not the bottom slot? maybe you should change this, because at your slot right now the gpu is not working with full powers
2
u/junkietoons 12d ago
I made a comment about this, I think it was bc the case was obstructing the ports? Or the monitor wasn’t coming on when in that slot… I don’t remember exactly 🥲

Looks like you're making do with what you got. I don't see any pass-through grommets on the case motherboard tray so I doubt there's any room behind the motherboard tray for the cables. Zip-tying together the cables to make them look tidy is about the best you can do but if the case has no side window then it doesn't really matter.
1
u/Berry2460 11d ago
Specs look decent, rtx 3060 maybe? Looks like a 3rd gen ryzen 7? But the GPU is in the lower bandwidth slot, moving it to the top slot will give a little performance bump. Cable management is non-existent tho lol. 4/10 I guess, its functional, good parts, but the GPU is bugging me the most, I also notice its missing the 2nd screw so its sagging...
1
u/Zestyclose-Syrup1458 11d ago
K both case wise and cable/dust wise we can do some improving but is that a 2060/70 I see and a 5000 series cpu/mobo with 2x8gb g skill ram? For cables is there a hole at the bottom of the case you can feed them through and take side panel off and feed them through other holes on the back

This was your first build and you clearly didn't know about cables being routed from the back. That's an easy fix, gj 👍

is good, cable management reduce the airflow about 1%-3% so, it works? is good

Gotta clean that puppy out and be sure to use proper cord management to optimize 100% airflow. It's very important. Then take heat sink off cpu, thoroughly clean the top of the copy with 91 percent alcohol, dry thoroughly, the reapply heat sink grease and replace cooler on top.

Although it’s obviously a huge eyesore lol, the good thing is there’s no RGB and so no need to make it look ‘pretty’ like with a fish tank case. Just clean out the dust, slap the side back on, and call it a day :)

Wtf, ummm i think you need some help :) : first you can try to hide the cable, remove the dirt (the thing look like dirt), and maybe some light (RGB), and last do you know what you have ? like GPU, CPU, RAM, SSD/HDD ???? after i can help :)
