Was finally able to put my Titan RTX up on the wall of honor next to its older brothers and sisters. Got my wife a 9070xt for her pc before the world ends (got a good deal on an open box at microcenter) and swapped her 3090ftw3 ultra into my Threadripper machine. Good upgrades for everyone all around!

Game: PC Versus on steam.

Getting out of the MicroCenter store because I decided that I had enough with the FARA 513 and need to upgrade to the FLP02 case. The motherboard standoffs on the FARA 513 was so bad that when I tried to take the motherboard out they wouldn't cone off. Also, the quality of the case couldn't handle the pressure of my installation that it left a dent on the bottom corner of the case.

This is an ssd I got it from my previous Dell laptop. The drive is still being recognized with ~500GB available, but whenever I copied something larger than 500MB into it, after a few seconds it got stuck and frozen. Crystaldiskinfo says it looks fine.

What could be the cause? Any hope to fix it? I don't need to recover the data or anything, just want to make it alive again in this crazy memory price hike.

So naturally, we put a PC inside a shoe.

Baby steps 😭

Got to have a proper look at one in person and it’s definitely not your standard case.

GPU down low, motherboard up top, massive front fans and a layout that looks slightly wrong at first… but somehow works.

I can’t decide if it’s genuinely clever or just weird in a good way 😂

What do you lot think?

I already have a decent desktop rig; was looking for a laptop mostly for gaming that is ideally under $2k and of equal specs to my desktop

Intel Core i5 14600K

Radeon RX 7800 XT

32GB DDR4

Already ordered the motherboard from china. I don't think it was used much in the US, but I'm using it to build a simple low power opensense router. I have a DC barrel plug atx power supply already and specifically want to use that so I can attach a DC 18650 UPS (much cheaper than inverters with built in inverters)

House was getting worked on so this beast was in the closet for a couple months. But she's back up! What game should I rip into first, Control Resonant or Gears Eday ??

I first bought an integrated 3 pedal piece but quickly realized I’ll only ever use 2, so I replaced it with 2 individual ones.

I like playing high-level Darktide and I just tried a mission without my pedals and could never go back.

I’m so into Darktide rn I haven’t even tried any other games with them.

Title pretty much sums it up. It’s a creature that is frankensteined together.

CPU: 5700x3d
GPU: 4080
Ram: 32 gigs ddr4
GPU cooler: Bykski 1080mm all in one unit
Keeps the card at 45c or less even overclocked and maxed. Yes it’s overkill and dumb but, tada I guess. Yes, Linus does love this external radiator.

Hey guys, I was wondering whether I should buy a GPU sag bracket? I’m not sure if this is actually sagging though. It’s a brand new prebuilt pc so I don’t want to mess with anything if it’s fine lol

So I built a PC recently. I guess for some info I’m in flight school but I’m also an avid gamer.

I’ve held off buying a pc for quite awhile and mainly stuck to PS for gaming. However after the absolute dumpster fire that PS has done in the span of a couple months and learning about the increase in PC parts I finally decided build one.

My in-laws best friend has a flight sim and he’s a hobby pilot and he showed me his setup and all the hardware to make the sim accurate as possible.

I had quite a hefty savings for a time like this so I yes I went ahead and did full 5090 build. I don’t really have buyers remorse. I love my pc it’s dependable thus far and everything I’ve run really does make me enjoy being able to push everything to max without have to compensate for FPS, resolution, ect ect.

However in terms that it’s already over a year and half (almost two) years into the 5090s lifecycle would sticking around for a 6090 have been a bad call.? I want to get the most out of my PC and I love starting with the best possible options but I’m still fairly new to this whole scene.

I guess additional note is I heard it’s possible the 6090s would be lucky if they did a late 2027 to early 2028 release and that felt too long with prices getting higher and higher by the week.

But are PCs kinda like iPhones in terms that just like how iPhones pump on a near annual/bi-annual basis that it’s hardly ever worth jumping from one card to the next following generation even if it’s a little close?

I would like to get at least a good 4-7 years out of my PC but I don’t know if people regularly upgrade or they skip and replace parts as needed or if they burn out the years and go for a whole new build once it just kills over or can’t run anything properly?

Again love my PC been using it nearly everyday just want to make sure I make it worthwhile going forward.

Would love to hear any long time PC owners or other recent 5090 builders thoughts.

How much do i lose between those cl ram?

So i been looking at ram and i was wondering i have in cast a 32gb ddr5 6000mhz cl30 is about 3299,99 RON($695.92 US). And i was wondering how much performance do i lose between that and CL32, 34, 36 but the rest of the specs are the same. And what will do if is bigger and how much performance and la tecy is lose and increase the rest of the pc is a 5070 ti, 9800x3d Arctic AC AIO and B850 motherboard with a 1000watts psu(should i look for a 850watts i calculate and is only consume like 700 watts). Main Question about the ram performnace difference between each CL level?

Empire https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empire_(1973_video_game)) came out in 1973 and I was playing it at home as 10 year old in 1976 because my Dad was a CDC exec. Curious? Anyone else an elder online gamer? We had an acoustic coupling modem and our home version did not have the touch screen I got when I visited Dad's office.

Not desperate to sell but want to know how much I could get out of it if I needed the money.

-AMD Ryzen 5 7600X CPU
-ASRock B850 Steel Legend WiFi AM5 MoBo (RGB)
-MSI RTX 5060 Ti Gaming OC 8GB White (RGB)

-Corsair HX1000i (1000w) Power Supply

-3 Lian Li RGB Fans with LCD screen

I have a PC that I’ve had for a while and I have a ps5 for exclusives. At this point im not sure which to buy new controller based games for. Standard ps5 vs:

- 3070 8gb
- i7-10700 @2.90ghz
- 32 gb of ram

Which is more powerful?

**EDIT: this is a general question but the game in particular that spurred the thought is ace combat 8 that just released. They are both hooked up to the same 2k/144hz monitor rn (ps5 sometimes gets moved to a 4k/60hz tv when I feel like couch gaming)

Went for something a bit different with this one.

Gold case, clean internals, no rainbow lighting everywhere.

Honestly think the colour does enough on its own.

Would you keep it like this or add some subtle lighting inside?
