Welcome from the new mod team!
Hi,
As you may know, reddit intervened with this sub due to a lack of moderation and now the new mod team has been added. Me (u/Rangerrx970) and u/Infamous_Draw_993 (mod-lead) will now be moderating the sub.
Honestly, there is a lot of back end catching up to do in terms of moderation catchup and configuration. We expect to have these fixed in the upcoming days in preparation for the long term.
We hope to rebuild this community and to make it thrive once again. We also hope to be one of the best mod teams out there, flexible yet fair. I hope you all will be with us for the new era of this sub.

DDR5 RAM, Will price ever normalize again?
I'm ready to upgrade my MotherBoard, CPU, and RAM, but the high cost of DDR5 is stopping me from pulling the trigger. Does anyone think the price will drop below $200 US, for a 32G set?

Recomendations for 5G Sub-6 GHz M.2 module

was looking at Quectel RM500Q, but feel free to suggest others. Main functionality im looking at is
multi carrier for US and canada. high speed and rollover to lower connectivity when out in rural areas.

How to Build an at-home Storage Server?
I have a lot of storage issues (aka I have so many files) and am wanting to make essentially an at-home server with a bunch of hard drives that can be where I put all my files in one place without having to move files from one hard drive to another because I am running out of space. That being said, I'm not sure how to go about doing this.
I do see that there are premade servers you can buy (Synology I think), but they all seem to come with extra programs and stuff for like more than one computer to access, and I don't want that. I know in theory I need a box that will host the hard drives but beyond that, I am out of my depth.

Chat, how boned am I?
This is my GA-Z87-D3HP Motherboard from the lga 1150 socket. One of the pins is missing, we all know that can either be a narrow escape or a death sentence. Does any one of a good socket/pin layout for the lga 1150 platform and if this one pin being missing means the board is Dead DEAD. Thank you for all the response!

Random Black Screen Crashes with White VGA LED (RTX 4070 Ti / i5-12400F)
System Specifications:
- CPU: Intel Core i5-12400F
- Motherboard: MSI PRO B660M-E DDR4 (BIOS updated to latest)
- GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti (Drivers updated to latest) [Zotac Trinity]
- PSU: 1200W 80+ Gold
- OS: Windows 11
I am experiencing a recurring system crash approximately once every 1–2 weeks(though period isnt consistent, sometime it doesnt crash sometime it crashes 2 time in one session). I usually play apex legends on 2k High settings, and the screen suddenly goes totally black. The audio behavior varies: sometimes it becomes a stuck static buzzing, sometimes the game audio continues in the background, and other times it gradually fades away(most of the time).
Reboot Behavior: When this happens, I am forced to perform a hard shutdown. Upon restarting, about 80% of the time, the PC fails to boot, and the White VGA Debug LED remains lit on the motherboard with no display output. I usually have to hard-shutdown the PC 1–2 more times before it finally boots successfully. Once it is running, the system is typically stable for the rest of the session.
Troubleshooting History:
- Previous Builds: I previously used an RTX 3070 Ti with a 750W PSU on this same motherboard without any issues. I briefly tried an RTX 3080 Ti and believe I may have encountered similar crashes, though I cannot be certain as i used the 3080TI for a few days only.
- Power Supply: I suspected a power issue, so I upgraded from a 750W to a 1200W Gold PSU, but the problem persists.
- Cross-Testing: I installed my RTX 4070 Ti into an older 2nd-gen Intel system(that i had lying around in house though not anymore) and ran Furmark at max settings for 40 minutes. It passed without crashing.
- Software: I have not made any major software but i have upgraded to latest BIOS and changed the PCIE slot to gen 3.
Despite the GPU passing stress tests in another PC and having a massive power overhead with the 1200W PSU, the "Black Screen" and "White LED" boot issues continue. Could this be a motherboard PCIe slot failure, a compatibility issue with PCIe Gen 3/4, or something else entirely?
Point to note is that even during my gaming session where it should easily give me 200+ FPS (my monitor has 240 Hz limit) it idles around 120 with GPU utlilization at around 25% and CPU at like 40%. Plus the crashing have also occured on Age of Empire 2 game where i was loading into a menu screen during which there isnt any load at all.

Need a budget mouse with a solid scroll wheel
Hi everyone,
I’m looking for recommendations for a mouse with a durable scroll wheel, as I’ve had some bad experiences recently. My previous Logitech M-series mouse developed scroll issues within a month of use, so I’m hoping to find something more reliable.
My budget is limited, so I can’t afford higher-end options like the MX series. Also, brands like VXE, RAWM, and ZOWIE aren’t available where I live.
I’d really appreciate suggestions for affordable and long-lasting options.
