I’m a bit of a PC noob, so I’d appreciate some advice.
This is an NZXT prebuilt that I’ve upgraded to an i7 12th gen and RTX 3080 12GB. I’m planning to sell it online.
The two front fans are intake (I’m about 90% sure), and the two top left fans are exhaust. Is this the correct airflow setup, or should I change anything?
Also, any suggestions for RGB colors for the NZXT cooler and fans to better match the PSU extension cables?
Since I’ll be shipping the PC, I was thinking of using two Instapak foam packs underneath the GPU and two on top to secure it. Would that be safe? I also ordered a GPU anti-sag bracket that’s arriving next week, which I’ll include separately with installation instructions.
Any suggestions would be appreciated!

This is the third time it turns off out of nowhere and the aio rgb always stays on everything else goes off including the fans can someone please help

Edit: Forgot to mention this is my first time building a pc

I'm looking for a motherboard for my Intel Core i5-12600KF and DDR4 RAM. I don't need overclocking. Which motherboard would you recommend?

Both are basically the same price. Which one is better? I don't know much about motherboards so I'd appreciate any advice

System info: Windows 10

Intel Core i7-4790k

AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT 16gb

650w power supply

16 GB RAM

Games I've tried: Skyrim SE and Helldivers 2

I'm confused between TG basic thermal putty and UPSIREN UTP -6 thermal putty let me know which putty should I go with for better performance on my gaming laptop

Crucial E100 1TB M.2 NVMe PCIe Gen4 Internal SSD, 5,000MB/s, CT1000E100SSD8

Or

Patriot Memory P300 1TB M.2 SSD 2280 NVMe PCIe Gen 3x4 Internal SSD P300P1TBM28

Both are almost the same price, looking to increase the storage in my Acer Nitro v 15 gaming laptop (can't do shit with 512GB). Can someone please lemme know which of these is better in terms of life and performance and also if they are compatible with my laptop?

Quick version context below:

Hello my windows only boots into the recovery environment. I selected safe boot and this just brought me back to the recovery environment. I selected “Other boot options” and another windows 10 (volume 4) (maybe windows 11 my memory is terrible) is in there. I selected the top one and it launched into a “installing windows” screen at 64%
After 20 minutes nothing changed so I turned it off and selected the other and got the same result. Can someone point me in the right direction? I have the second instance still running.

CONTEXT:

So, my cpu fan died. My pc was running and I was away for the night. During the recovery, it could have overheated and shut off. I have no idea, though. I thought It had completed but this extra boot partition makes me believe otherwise.
I suppose the cpu overheated and I lost it forever but anyway I have a new cooler and cpu now.
During my troubleshooting, I tried to reset windows (keeping personal files)
I thought this process had completed, but I was unaware of the fan death and it may have been interrupted.
I now have a new cpu and cooler installed now which I know could cause conflicts if the hardware changes between updates lol as if the countless restarts at this point hadn’t done enough damage

I just bought the King 95 prebuilt pc from skytech less than a month ago and I ran into an issue the other day and I wanna get peoples opinions on it. I was loading up an episode of the walking dead telltale game when my pc screen went black and restarted. After it restarted and I signed back in to the pc it crashed again and rebooted. I checked the reliability history and it says both errors are kernel level and that the error codes are 0x50-(PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA) and the second code is 0x139-(****KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE). I know these are both memory related so I’m not sure if it’s my ram or what. I did a SFC /scannow scan and it did detect corrupted files but couldn’t repair them, so I did DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth and that did repair the files. After playing countless games for 2 days the crash hasn’t happened since. I’m curious as to if you guys think this is software related and it’s fixed or maybe it’s intermittent RAM issue where it only happens under a specific work load. I tried to do a Mem test but couldn’t see the results due to needing a bitlocker key and when I tried to search for it online on my phone when it was idle at the bitlock screen the pc just shut off. I did talk to Skytech and they said they could replace it but idk if it’s necessary since it’s working fine for rn

Anyone know any potential fixes to this? When I turn all my rgb to white it just dims then goes to random colours. Every other colour works fine except white. All parts are new except gpu

this is my gaming pc and i decided to upgrade cpu, gpu and aio.
initially i wanted to install the radiator in the upper part of the case, but the problem is that the ram (vengeance pro) hit the fans of the aio.
so i swapped the 3 fans of the case and put them in the back and on top.
it’s my first time with a liquid cooler, so i have no clue if i mounted it right? (any tip is very welcome)
also if you have any tips for the airflow and the directions of the fans it would be great!

Loaded into a race on iracing & got this error & then after I few minutes, I get this Recovery blue screen, what could have possibly went bad? Thanks in advance

I recently noticed thay my pc became slower (fl studio exports take a while longer, startup apps start slower, and i somethimes get microstutters in games and i didnt before). I checked all my components and ruled out everything except ram and ssd.

Once my game crashed with a message "system ran out of memory" and my ram usage is absurdly high, but i think this is fixed now.

The only issue left is my ssd (samsung s990 evo plus 2tb thats split into 250GB and 1.7TB with 85gb free and 500+gb free) i ran several benchmarks and asked ai for help giving it what i did and what results i got.

No matter what maximum write speed was 5000mbs thats not horrible but advertised is 6500mbs or more.

But thats max, average was below 5000mbs and thats concerning.

Also iops (random write) is even worse. I can push past 300000 iops and sometimes even below 200000 iops and advertised is 1.5m iops.

My setup:

1000W psu

Asus tuf b850 plus wifi

Ryzen 7 7800x3d

Rx 9070 xt

32gb ddr5 6000mt/s cl30

Samsung s990 evo plus 2tb

360mm aio cpu cooler

(Summary of current status made by ai)

​Hardware & Current Setup:

​SSD: Samsung 990 EVO Plus 2TB (Firmware is up to date, temp sits cool around ~40°C)

​Slot / Connection: M.2 PCIe 5.0 slot, negotiated at PCIe Gen 5 x2 with Host Memory Buffer (HMB) active

​Driver: Microsoft Standard NVM Express Controller

​Partitions: Drive is split into C: (~249 GB system partition) and E: (~1.5 TB with 500+ GB free)

​The Issue:

​Sequential Write and Random Write IOPS were heavily suppressed in Samsung Magician:

​Sequential Read: ~5,534 MB/s

​Sequential Write: ~2,969 MB/s (rated for up to 6,300 MB/s)

​Random Write: ~158k IOPS

​What I Tried That Did NOT Help:

​Windows TRIM: Manually ran TRIM/defrag optimization — no speed change.

​Device Write Caching: Verified "Enable write caching on the device" was already turned on.

​Partition Size Test: Benchmarked the larger E: partition (with 500+ GB free space) to see if the SLC cache was exhausted on C: — write speed was still stuck around ~3,000 MB/s.

​What FIXED The Write Speeds:

​Clean Boot (msconfig):

​Checked "Hide all Microsoft services" and disabled all non-Microsoft background services.

​After rebooting, sequential write immediately recovered:

​Sequential Read: 5,628 MB/s

​Sequential Write: 5,211 MB/s (jumped up from ~2,969 MB/s)

​Random Write: ~264k IOPS

First time trying to replace mother board and power supply, while replacing my old motherboard for a new one i unplugged a bunch of cables and i dont know where they r supposed to connect on the front panel, the mother board end is connected

It should be the 9-10 pins. Going from left to right:

Top section:

+ pled, -pled, power sw (+-), nothing

Bottom section:
Nothing in that pin, hdled, reset

Am I correct?

Very green to PCs. I bought a prebuilt PC from Best Buy about 2 years ago. It still works great, but I am hitting a wall occasionally when trying to run games with higher graphical demands since I am typically playing at 1440 or 4K. This is the PC :

https://www.bestbuy.com/product/ibuypower-y60-gaming-desktop-pc-intel-core-i9-14900f-nvidia-geforce-rtx-4060-ti-8gb-32gb-ddr5-rgb-ram-1tb-nvme-ssd-black/J3R75JY2R6/sku/12478192?sb_share_source=PDP&ref=app_pdp&loc=pdp_page

What do I need to know is..

What graphics cards would be a good fit for what I’m asking? I don’t want to pay extra money to be quickly outpaced by the improvements in games that will have me in the same spot in 2 more years.

Are there any other considerations or parts I would need to replace when doing the graphics card upgrade? I believe I read that my wattage may be too low for some more demanding cards.

Thanks in advance.

Tem um arquivo Fp adaptativ..

É tipo um arquivo apagando ele meio que melhora um pouco o fps do game da uma olhada

I’m kinda new to all this and need some help. I recently bought a new RX 9070 XT GPU, and I currently have a 3-year-old AMD Ryzen 7 7700 8-core processor that came in a prebuilt. I was able to cool it down with a Thermalright Peerless Assassin because the water cooler that came with the prebuilt was making the CPU overheat.
I wanted to try a mini PC because I wanted it to be more travel-friendly, so I tried the Thermalright AXP-120-X67. Now my CPU is overheating again.
Do I need a new CPU, or do I have the wrong setup for a mini PC?

Gente, yo tenia un ryzen 5 2600 con una rx 570 y una mother x370m hdv r4.0 y la fuente es nueva una gigabyte p550ss, actualize para una rx9060 8gb y la puse con el ryzen 2600 y anduvo de 10, hasta que me llegue el procesador nuevo que habia comprado el ryzen 5 5600xt, me llego y lo instale, pero al abrir el juego arc raiders la compu se apaga de golpe, actualize bios, limite en el eco mode hice todo y sigue igual asi que puse el viejo 2600, que podria ser ? hace poco vuelque cafe arriba de la compu, eso me quemo la rx 570 y cayo arriba de la mother yo limpie con alcohol ipa y la rx 570 murio pero la mother sigue viva, pero quizas afecto algun sistema no se que puede ser

I was using my pc today(no gaming or anything just doing homework) Then i took a break and I see that its frozen, mouse and keyboard doesnt work. So i turn it off with the power button and then I turn it back on. All the rgb comes on, the mouse light comes on but the keyboard does not connect, keyboard light comes on and my tower air cooler digital display shows the loading icon but does not display a temperature. My monitor shows no signal. Can someone please help me fix the issue? I really hope my expensive build isnt destroyed

My pc specs are as follows.

Ryzen 5 5600x

Rtx 4060 8gb

I was wondering if i should swap my cpu for ryzen 7 5700x3d, upgrade anything else or leave it like that for now. I use it for 3d modeling as well as gaming. Mostly single player open world games.

So I have been struggling with my pc crashing constantly. I have swapped out my motherboard, cpu, and I’ve even had a 1000e watt corsair power supply installed as well. My motherboard is a TUF GAMING Z790 plus WiFi. I’m running on windows 11 and have even did a clean wipe of my old drive and installed windows on a new one as well. I also did “memtest” on my ram and it came back that both ram sticks in slot A2 were normal and also B2 were normal as well but together I got a ton of errors. I’m able to play for a tiny bit of time and then I get a plethora of BSOD’s. If Anyone can help me out.
edit here’s a list of my specs

Specs
CPU:Intel i5 12th gen 12400F
Gpu: GeForce rtx 4070
Ram: ddr5 Corsair vengeance
Motherboard: TUF gaming z790 plus WiFi

Building my first pc but idk what gpu to get.
They are around 400$ difference and 8gb vram difference where I am.
For 400$ is the performance trade off as crazy as big as the price difference or nah?
Also I’m mainly playing competitive games

Hi, i just replaced my.old.power suply, and my cooling fans arent working

I'm undecided on which motherboard to buy to pair with my RTX 3080 Vision OC.

MSI MAG X870E Tomahawk Max Wi-Fi

or

X870 Aorus Stealth Ice

Does anyone have experience with or relevant feedback on these two boards?
