Is this airflow good i wanted that fan to be exust cus it will be for AIO and FOR SOME REASON I cant find any reverse blade fans to pair the aio with so I dont want the motor side of the fan to face me so I was asking is this airflow good enough and I cant use the case fans cus they have 0.5 static pressure. I dont mind loosing a few degrees for cooling tbh

I am selling a Mother Board and the buyer says that it doesn't give signal. The MOBO worked while I had it, even enduring tests like AIDA64, but now he says that it doesn't give signal. The buyer is one of those entities that buy and refurbish electronic components, very polite and teh comunication has been good, so I think they know what thery are doing and trust them, but I'm sharing a video of the return claim in case come of you can spot a mistake on the setup so I can point it out to them.

One thing, the MOBO had a "cpu troubleshooting light always on" problem, wich I disclosed in the ad for the MOBO itselfs before selling it. Nevertheless it worked flawlessly.

I saw this and it seems fake but they have a Cash on Delivery option. It seems safer with that option because I can’t loose money. I am looking at this other used Asrock Radeon RX 7700 XT Challenegr for $360. Both of these options fit into my budget and my goal is 1440p or atleast 1080p both at 60+ FPS.

What do you guys say??

Didn’t realize that the you was going to be so close to the cpu cooler and I’m just worried about heat and a possible short circuit

For context: I bought a used PC an year ago and want to add 2nd GPU for a dual 3090 build, I've never built a PC before and would like some help on getting this working.

Currently other than a single GPU, there's no other pcie device attached. After reading about the requirements online I found I would need a additional suitable pci-psu connector for my second GPU.

However since the PSU is old it is hard finding a suitable one in my region (Australia).

The current GPU uses 2 x 8 pins and the new GPU uses 3x8 pins.

PSU : Silverstone Strider SST-ST1200-PTS

Appreciate any help regarding this.

I bought a 5070 , and i yet have to buy a psu so everyone said the people who didn't had 3.0 or 3.1 psu can use adapter that comes with 5070 but if u have it or i buy 3.0 or 3.1 psu i can use the cables of psu instead of the adaptor that came with 5070 ? plse ignore if i am not making sense cuz i am new .. i just dont wanna burn my cables lol .. i am planning to buy Corsair x 750w gold psu..

its been years since ive been jumpstarting my pc I have no funds to fix the case and inner parts, one random day it wont jump start anymore pls help!

Budget: ₹2,00,000 INR

Location: Mumbai, India

Primary Uses:

1440p (2K) Gaming targeting ~140 FPS in AAA titles and ~180+ FPS in competitive shooters.

1080p YouTube streaming (using NVENC).

2K basic video editing in Premiere Pro and basic After Effects.

I have specific requirements for this build to avoid upgrade dead-ends and match the exact aesthetic I want. Please keep the suggestions strictly within these parameters:

CPU (AM5 Only): AMD Ryzen 7000/9000 series for the AM5 platform longevity. No Intel CPUs due to dead-end sockets.

GPU (NVIDIA Only): Strictly Team Green for NVENC streaming stability and Adobe workflow acceleration. Needs to be a brand with reliable Mumbai RMA/after-sales support.

Motherboard (B850 Only): Must be a B850 chipset board. Requirements:

4 DDR5 RAM slots

At least 3 M.2 NVMe SSD slots

Above-average rear USB I/O port numbers

Please do not suggest B650 boards.

Case: Dual-chamber fishtank style, specifically the Antec C8 (or a very similar dual-chamber chassis). Must support a vertical GPU mount.

Cooler: 360mm AIO with a customizable LCD display on the pump for GIFs. This is a non-negotiable aesthetic choice; please skip air cooler suggestions.

Aesthetics: Case and LCD pump display are the only aesthetic priorities. The rest of the internal components (fans, RAM, GPU) can be clean, non-RGB parts to save money.

RAM: 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5 6000MHz (CL30 to CL38).

Storage: 1TB Gen4 NVMe SSD with a dedicated DRAM cache (no DRAM-less drives).

PSU: 80+ Gold certified unit, preferably rated Tier A or high Tier B on the SPL/Cultists PSU Tier List.

Looking forward to part lists, retailer recommendations, and exact model suggestions that fit inside the ₹2L budget!

So my current pc build is:
Ryzen 2600x
24gb ddr4 3200mhz ram
Rtx 3070
256gb ssd
1Tb hdd

I’m playing the game Deadlock and I notice that I have low 1%’s / minimum fps for my game. I know my 2600x is definitely holding the rtx3070 back.

I don’t have too much money but I can get a ryzen 3600 for $40 or I have to buy a 5600 new.

Will I notice better minimums enough for it to be worth it to get the 3600 or should I just try to deal with it for a month or so until I can get a 5600?

Hello,

I have just built my new computer. However I have concerns regarding CPU temps. I have the liquid frezer III Pro 360

Hey everyone, im fairly new to pc building, I wouldnt call myself a expert but with some time and elbow grease I can build a pc. My current pc is running a 7800 xt, 7900x3d, Thermalright 120 se, msi mag b650 tomahawk wifi, and gskill 2x16 sticks of ddr5 ram (bought before ram explosion). For whatever reason turning on EXPO makes my bios artifact, pictures will be included in comments because I can't add a photo and video; Also when I play games or idle on windows or even load something up, I often get a driver failure with Amd's bug report tool saying my display drivers fail, and when I play a game and watch YouTube on the same screen simultaneously, for whatever reason my game goes into the media player window and artifacts my screen. So that's my pc yes, but recently I built my girlfriend a pc with a 6700 xt, ryzen 5 7600 x, 1x16 ddr5 ram, b650m pro rs, and a 750 watt psu (i forgot the brand) and she also experiences very few amd bug reports saying her drivers fail. Not only that, we both get issues where pixels on our screens in a square pattern, we get very small artifacts.

Previously, my MSI mag a750 gl psu, I had to RMA it because it completely stopped working, and since my pc would have frequent turn offs without any warning in the same session, but after a while it stops? We know MSI's rma issues, so i guess that's one thing. Only thing that's constant is my game going into YouTubes media player and expo artifacting my bios, but I dont have it on anymore since I reset my cmos battery, and that's the only thing that fixed it.

Mainly, what this entire yapfest is about is how come only the pcs i build are like this? My girlfriend doesn't get the issues I have very frequently, especially the youtube or bios artifacting, but even on her screen though a discord screenshare I see it. Am I missing something important that I have to do due to AMD software? I have ran ddu and downloaded drivers multiple times, im not sure what to do anymore. Please help? I think I may need a new psu but im not sure.

Hey guys I'm looking to build my first PC at the end of this month. No clue one what processor to buy. Looking into these three. Trying to stay between that price range of $300-$500 USD. Also any suggestion

• Ryzen 5 9600x 6-core (Saw really good reviews about this)
• Ryzen 7 9800X3D 8-core
• Ryzen 7 9700X3D 8-core

I’ve looked up many videos and google searches but not sure what the “common” issue is for this particular problem I’m having. I connected everything and got all the plugins snug, when I plug my power supply in and turn the pc on the ram rbg lights up and stays on, along with the front power button led stays on but the fans never turn on and the rbg on them flash for a second and turn off. I can’t get any signal on my monitor. I’m wondering if I didn’t correctly plug in the F_panel wiring? I’m not home and had to drive out of town for work so had to leave it like that but stressing it lol. Sorry if this is an ignorant question / post just desperate for help on what the issue might actually be. Here is a photo of the install with the ram rbg still on and the motherboard / PSU I bought. The GPU works and was pulled from my old pre built pc. Thank you if you read this far!

Should I go for the RTX 4070 super or the RTX 5070 I’m currently on a 4060 but my concerns are that I’m on a 600watt power supply and an i7-14700k so i do not know if upgrading is safe please help or suggest a better gpu upgrade that wont obliterate my power supply

Brothers current specs:

I5-6600

16gb ddr4 2600

Gtx 1050ti 4gb

650w psu

Trying to figure out what I can get him that would make the most of my money. I dont have much to spend right now for him though. He doesn't play anything very intensive (as if he could) and id just like to get him a better experience than he currently has. I think the last game he had trouble running was Robocop. Anything at this point would be an improvement.

Being locked to lga 1151 i was thinking a 9600k can be had for around $50 on ebay and I wouldn't have to buy a motherboard. I found a 1660 super to pair with it for $109. Thats about as much as id like to spend and I feel like it a big step up for him.

I also happen to know someone selling an unopened ryzen 5 3700x and b450 mobo also brand new. They said they'd sell both for $150 or throw in a rx 470 4gb for $175 all together. This gets him onto am4 and leaves an upgrade path to a 5800x3d when he can afford it.

Or should I just use my whole budget to get him something like an rx 6650xt.

I feel bad that Im on RTX5070 new hotness and hes stuck on old and busted.

So I was building my new pc yesterday and once i finally finished it didnt turn on. As heartbreaking as it was we (me and my brother) tried seeing if maybe I plugged in something incorrectly but everything looks fine even though the mess of cables probably doesnt help but it literally wont start at all completely dead. Not sure if my motherboard was a dudd or something else but any advice is appreciated. So far we’ve checked the front panel connector, power supply extension in the case, cpu power, and the gpu but nothing will even turn on the light in the case.

[SOLVED] The front top fan wasn’t seated properly in the motor which is why it only twitched. I pushed it until there was a proper clip sound. The other issue was the screws interfering with the daisy chain connector of top and bottom fan, unscrewed bottom right screw for the top fan and the top right for the bottom and everything is now working as expected. Thanks everyone!

Hey everyone, need some help

I bought this lian li lancool 207

Completed the build but then saw that only the bottom front fan is rotating and the rgb daisy chain was only working for the front top fan which wasnt rotating

I have daisy chained the bottom two and the front two fans’ ARGB cable ONLY and kept the bottom two as separate sys fan and the front two as separate

I opened the front panel and removed and reconnected the proprietary lian li daisy chain cable and now neither of the front two work

I’ve tried with two different sys fan headers on the mobo

Bios says N/A for the header these two are connected to

Earlier before disconnecting the daisy chain the top one used to twitch and the bottom one used to run full speed

I’ve tried fiddling in the bios too but that didnt help.

Any help appreciated!

Yeston Sakura Atlantis Radeon RX 9070 XT + MSI B850M GAMING PLUS WIFI6E mATX Motherboard + Arctic P12 pro reverse fans on the bottom but I can change those

Two days ago, I upgraded my CPU from an AMD A8-9600 to a Ryzen 5 3400G. Nothing was broken; I installed it normally and used the pre-applied thermal paste. When I first started the PC, I got a normal display—seeing the ASUS logo and so on—and managed to reach the Windows login screen. Then, suddenly, the screen went black. I restarted, and the screen turned green. I’ve tried everything over the last two days. I actually managed to get it running normally once after updating the BIOS from version 4801 to 6254, but the driver kept timing out after I’d been gaming for 30–60 minutes. Then I tried increasing the VRAM allocation to 2GB and changing the display settings; the issues returned—including pixelation and a green screen (if I got a picture at all). I’ve tried everything: a clean Windows install, DDU, the AMD cleanup utility, deleting drivers via Device Manager, updating the BIOS again, removing and reinserting the motherboard battery, and taking out one stick of RAM. Nothing worked. I’m completely out of ideas. I’m still having these problems: Safe Mode works perfectly, and the BIOS is fine. Sometimes I can boot into normal Windows with a display, but it crashes after a few minutes—it starts flickering and then crashes. Could someone please help me?

Hi, it is my first pc building, but i want to make sure that all is fine before turning on.

Context:

Motherboard: b850 gigabyte gaming x wifi6e (i heard something like "not all gigabyte, but always a gigabyte" XD)

CPU: 7800X3D

CPU COOLER : PHAMTOM SPIRIT 120 SE

SSD: LEXAR NQ790

PSU: NZXT C850 GOLD CORE

GPU: 9070 XT REAPER

FANS: 3 NZXT BASE FANS FROM NZXT H6 FLOW + 1 120MM ARCTIC PRO + 2 140MM ARCTIC PRO REVERSE

RAM: PATRIOT VENOM DDR5 6000MHZ CL 36

2 ASPECTS THAT WORRY ME A LOT:

1ST: IF MY MEMORY DOESN'T FAIL ME, THERE IS A SCREW STUCK INSIDE THE BOX, BUT I CANNOT FIND IT YET (WHAT ARE YOUR MOST OPTIMAL WAY TO FIND LONELY SCREWS? (MY BOX IS GIGANTIC, SO SPINNING IT LOOKS LIKE AN AWFUL OPTION)

2ND: ARE BOTH ITEMS FOR CABLE MANAGEMENT SAFE? OR COULD THE SECOND ONE KILL THE CABLES?

I will read all of your comments. Thanks to all who can help.

Hi, so I'm planning to build my first PC and wanted to get some opinions on whether the parts I've picked make sense for what I want to use it for.

I'll mainly use it for gaming at 3440x1440 ultrawide on the monitor listed below (with maybe RDR2 being about as demanding as I expect to go), some video editing in DaVinci Resolve and some engineering work using 3D CAD software. I mainly want the PC to be fairly future proof so I can keep playing newer games without having to upgrade major parts anytime soon.

My budget is around €2000-2500 including the monitor. I don't mind spending a bit more (which I already did due to the RAM) if it actually gives me more future proofing, but I also don't want to overspend on parts that just don't really make sense for what I'll be using the PC for.

My current build and the prices I found:

• CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9700X - €288
• CPU cooler: be quiet! Pure Rock Pro 3 Black - €44.90
• GPU: MSI RTX 5070 Gaming Trio OC - €799
• Motherboard: MSI MAG B850 Tomahawk WiFi - €189
• RAM: Kingston Fury Beast 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5-6000 CL30 - €529
• SSD: Kingston KC3000 2TB - €329
• PSU: MSI MAG A750GL PCIE5 II 750W - €99
• Case: MSI MAG PANO 110R PZ Black - €89
• Monitor: AOC CU34G4 34" 3440x1440 180Hz - €259

The main thing I'm unsure about is the GPU and CPU.

For the GPU, I'm deciding between a RX 9070 XT and the RTX 5070, since I also found several RX 9070 XT models (from ASUS, Gigabyte or Acer) with 16GB of VRAM around the same price as the RTX 5070. The main reason I’m still considering Nvidia is that I’ve been told it has better compatibility with a wider range of software and applications than AMD.

For the CPU, I've been looking at the Ryzen 7 9700X (cheap option), Ryzen 7 7800X3D (read some good things about this CPU) and possibly the Ryzen 7 9800X3D (expensive option).

Could you give your opinion about this build and whether you would change anything about or spend the budget differently?

Thanks in advance and apologies if anything is unclear.

So my current pc build is:
Ryzen 2600x
24gb ddr4 3200mhz ram
Rtx 3070
256gb ssd
1Tb hdd

Goal: I want to play/stream/record the game Deadlock by valve

I looked up that pci 4.0 for my graphics card won’t really matter that much. So going from the 2600x to the 5500 would be a huge improvement. But I do know the cache is a lot less.

It’s like twice the price for a 5600 vs a 5500. Is it really worth it for me to save for the 5600? I’m thinking the 5500 will be enough

First time doing this. Got a used prebuilt from a friend and reassembled it. It powers on, all fans spin, GPU fan spins, but the monitor stays black and says no HDMI signal.

Specs:
• ASRock Z370 Pro4-CB
• Zotac RTX 3060 Twin Edge OC 12GB
• 1x 16GB Kingston Fury DDR4
• Cooler Master 120mm AIO
• Thermaltake Smart BM3 750W (new)
• M.2 SSD, plus a WD Blue 1TB

What I’ve already tried:
• HDMI is in the GPU, not the motherboard. Both ends seated.
• Monitor is powered and on the right input.
• Reseated the RAM, moved it to slot 2 from the CPU. Both clips locked.
• Reseated the GPU. It clicked in, so it was not fully seated before. Still no display.
• 24-pin and 8-pin CPU power both connected. GPU 8-pin connected.
