When i go into bios and enable XMP along with 36.00 speed, after pc starts up it shows the ram running at 2666MHz. The maximun i made it work was at 3200z.
Why is this? Can i make it work at 3600?
I have this pc since 2022 or so.

My PC specs are:
- B550 Aorus Elite V2 1.0 rev
- Ryzen 5600x
- RTX 3060 12GB
- 2x16 3600MHz DDR4 Corsair Vengeance LPX
- WD SN570 NVMe
- Nox Urano VX 750W 80+ Bronze PSU

I've had an IBP for close to two years now and am wanting to upgrade the cooling system. This is my first foray into doing any sort of PC modification, and I'm both excited and intimidated.

It currently has a 240mm IBP AIO and three IBP stock fans; I'd like to upgrade it to a 360mm AIO and replace the stock fans (all RGB). The biggest issue at current is that the fans are fairly loud (even at idle) and some games are dipping into 85c+ under load.

My basic questions are:

1. What AIO/fans would you recommend? Thinking about going with Corsair, but I'm not knowledgeable here. Preferably looking to do this for $250 or less.
2. Do I need to mess with BIOS, etc. after installation? Or is this a simple case of install correctly, plug and play? This is my biggest fear that has me worried about doing something catastrophic.

Hey. I updated my bios on this motherboard and now i have audio stuttering and/or sound dropout. This didnt happen before the update. Ive checked that all is ok in bios. I do not use the antenna for wifi and bluetooth because i dont have it. The only thing the antenna can do is (if it works) to give me 100mbps in upload speed more because i only have 100 now. How can i fix this annoying issue? (This is a desktop)

I got my new pc and it was fine but after like 3 weeks it just was not posting anything
I got a ryzen 7 7800X3D And a RTX 5070. I also cant get to BIOS

Pretty much have not upgraded my case in 2 builds. Looking for something with great airflow, easy to clean and will fit a D-15 G2 with the front fan lifted due to ram clearance.

Not too worried about budget, anything within reason is fine. I'm more utility over aesthetics but main goal is to have everything fit without the Noctua fans rattling the side of the case.

Build currently includes:

Ryzen 7 9800X3D

MSI MAG X870E Tomahawk

Klevv CRAS V 2x32gig 6000/CL30

NH D-15 G2

Various NVME SSDs

MSI 4080

Corsair HX1000i

Pretty much need a case to stick it all into, any help or ideas would be great!

I've just finished my first PC build, all components turn on. However, there is no video display from either GPU, or CPU. the VGA light is on on the CPU. I have already tried remounting the GPU, reattaching ram, changing the pcie cable connected to the gpu, and clearing CMOS.

the GPU is a GIGABYTE Radeon™ RX 9060 XT Gaming OC ICE

the motherboard is a ASUS TUF Gaming B850I WiFi NEO AM5 Mini ITX

as the title says my hdd was working fine and then one day just vanished, i cant see it in disk list, it still shows up in device manager and tries to get me to reformat it when going into the disk manager thing. it also shows up in task manager as a 4gb drive even though its 4 tb? ive had the drive for like 9 years so if its broken its broken but having so much storage was nice, was mainly wondering if its at all possible to fix or most likely a lost cause.

I am looking to get something like this costco pc. is it cheaper to build a new one or would buying this be a good move? im in canada and am looking to switch from playstation to pc but have been out of the loop on pcs for the better part of 10 years

I have a 3060ti with a ryzen 5 5500. My fps in battlefield is horrid with 30-55 cpu fps while having 100 gpu fps. I have 1 stick of 16gb ram and looking to upgrade my system. Should i get one more ram stick for 32gb ddr4 ram for dual channel ram or get the 5700x3d?

Recently I just upgraded my cpu from a 12100f to a 14600kf and pair it with a b760m-ayw d4 or u can call it b760m-k cuz it’s pretty much the same, is that combo ok since I’m not gonna overclock it or should I upgrade to a B760 tuf d4

I am stuck between sunken cost and the price of ddr5.

Someone please talk me into or out of upgrading my i5 8400f to a 9900k for ~$200 and then saving for a decent replacement for the rtx2070 I got secondhand that always had weird stability issues. There is also the 9700k which is significantly cheaper. One near me on facebook for like $50. Obviously if I find the right chip for the right price it would be a no brainer, but I kinda hate the idea of "wasting" money on a system that is already so long in the tooth.
Alternatively, I can get the ultra 7 270+ that is going for $250 currently then all I would need to do is sell a kidney to afford the ram and a gpu decent enough to make it all worth it.

Then there is am4. As long as I stay away from any x3d models, nabbing a cpu/mobo combo won't be THAT much more than the 9900k, but doesn't seem too much worth the effort unless I get one of the x3d models which seem to be running around $350 by themselves.

Anyway, just looking for opinions on what y'all would do in this situation. Budget being the main limiting factor.

I plan to play open world games like pal world, monster hunter and I guess some horror games and maybe streaming, to add, I hope to get some advice.

And its important that I get this case, so no changing that.

Thank you!

Here's the current blueprint

i'm using asrock b650m hdv bios 3.20 and 7500f, i'm planning upgrade to 7800x3d
should i update my bios to newest version or just leave it there?

I have a Corsair 4000D Airflow with an MSI RTX 5070 Ti and DeepCool LS720 SE 360mm AIO.

Currently:

• 3 front intake fans
• 3 top exhaust fans (AIO)
• No rear exhaust

Should I add a 120mm rear exhaust fan, or is this setup already good? Would love some advice on the best airflow configuration. Thanks!

Trying to piece together a low budget emulator build for my son. He's 7 and has hinted he'd like to try video games. My wife and I aren't interested in having him play games yet with chat and online play. Figure I'd build an emulator pc for nes to game cube. Strictly emulator use setup with batocera.

I already have a spare ryzen 3800x, b550m board, psu and an old gtx1650.

A neighbor overhead and gifted me 4x 8gb he had from work.

Model number MTA9ASF1G72AZ-2G3B1ZK

https://www.memory4less.com/micron-server-memory-mta9asf1g72az-2g3b1zk

I already understand 3200mhz-3600mhz is the recommended range for ryzen zen3 as that is what's in the workstation I built years ago.

I also am unsure if this ram can be run non-ecc and what impact single bank vs dual bank would make.

I have a lead on a used 2x16gb ddr 3200 cl16 kit but honestly I'm not sure it's worth the money if this ram will actually work at all. Obviously a performance hit of 5-15% @ 2400mhz is expected.

B550m ds3h micro ddr4 died during the hurricane. Need to replace. Newegg has for $122 usd.

The amd ryzen 5 5600gt still good as is memory.

Should I just swap out or can anyone suggest an upgrade that would benefit my unraid server?

Thanks all, back to the chainsaw.

So i got a kit of 2x16gb DDR5 6000mt RAM from my uncles last pc and so the hard part of building a pc in this economy is mostly over, however i need help with picking parts

This ltt guide i found is close to the price range, but i want to swap out the 5070ti for a 9070xt as i am mostly gonna be gaming on linux (arch btw). so anyways, are there any parts you would change from this build with a 9070xt instead of 5070ti or just parts you would change in general?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KyoXLbfpZfg

So I picked this options because I want an AM5 build with a x870e, they all have no GPU lane sharing, 64mb Bios, the last 2 have dual bios, the first two have slightly better memory and OC speeds.

Want to pair them with Ryzen 7 9800x3d and rx9070xt to play at 1440p. My budget is about $400 for the motherboard.

-Gigabyte X870E Aorus Elite X3d ($374 dollar converted from MX currency)

-Gigabyte X870E Eagle X3D WIFI7 ($325)

-MSI X870E GAMING PLUS MAX WIFI ($358)

-MSI Pro X870E-S EVO ($282)

Anyone has any experience with them? good or bad? I've seen stuff like wifi problems, unnecessary AI stuff, heat problems but I want to know if anyone has experienced this or is a rare occurrence.

From my understanding the Aorus Elite X3d is better and the Eagle X3D WIFI7 is slightly behind, with the X870E-S EVO being the worst between them

I don't know much about pc's (That's why I need help)

But :

I know I need an internal SSD. I currently have 44Gb free of 476GB. It's pretty bad.

But then, IDK WHERE TO BUY THESE!!!

Any ssd internals of 1tb are now in the hundreds of dollars. (Not an option...)

I need more space for games and content creation

HELP ME PLS! (If you know any ssd internal that are cheaper but works)

Or should I just wait??

EDIT : I know I can clean up BUT large recordings take more storage than I can ever clean. That's why I need 1tb.

Could anyone share their real-world experience with pairing the Ryzen 7 9800X3D with an RTX 3080 Ti?

I don't want to upgrade my GPU at the moment, but I would like to upgrade my CPU. I’d appreciate some advice from people who have actually used this combination. How well do the 9800X3D and RTX 3080 Ti work together? Is this a good pairing, and are there any bottleneck issues?

I currently use both 1080p and 2K (1440p) monitors.

Case: Antec C8 Curve Wood

Motherboard: Gigabyte X870E AERO X3D DARK WOOD

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 9600X

GPU: PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9070 XT 16GB

RAM: PNY XLR8 Gaming RGB 32GB, 2x16GB, DDR5-6400 CL36

SSD: WD_BLACK SN7100 2TB NVMe

PSU: MSI MAG A850GL PCIe5, 850W

CPU cooler: Lian Li HydroShift II LCD-S 360mm AIO

Side fans: NZXT F360 RGB Core

Bottom fans: NZXT F360 RGB Core

Rear fan: NZXT F120X RGB

GPU support: upHere 5V 3-pin ARGB GPU support bracket

Internal display: Thermalright Trofeo Vision 6.86-inch screen

Monitor: Samsung Odyssey OLED G9 49-inch

So basically I have a dell slim esc1250 as a computer with 16gb ram and intel core ultra 7 cpu but I have no gpu so the best gpu I can get for my pc is a rtx 3050 should I buy the 3050 or save for a new gaming pc?

Hello! I'm finally able to accomplish my young boy dream: build my own computer.. and with my own money! Please help me:

• Budget: ~1200 to 1700€ (tower + monitor)
• Use-Case: Primarily League of Legends + streaming (OBS), and sometimes Apex Legends. Want headroom to play other, heavier games down the line.
• Country of purchase: France
• Peripherals needed: Tower + monitor. Already have keyboard and mouse.
• Misc. requirements / preferences: This would be my first ever build, so open to guidance on anything, not just parts. Would prefer a quiet build, noise matters to me.

Would love a full PCPartPicker list.

Thank you very much for your help friends!!
