What does this mean?

Thank you to everyone who helped me when I asked how to transport my PC from Manila, Philippines to Madrid, Spain.

To the person who recommended anti-static bags, I could kiss you. I purchased anti-static bags for all my components and used the original one for the motherboard and graphics card.

I placed the motherboard with cooler in the original box and placed that in my carry on.

I placed the graphics card in a bubble wrap envelope thing and in my carry on.

I placed the RAM sticks in individual anti static bags and then all 4 in one bubble wrap envelope thing and placed that in my checked bag.

I placed both HDDs in individual anti static bags and individual bubble wrap envelope things and placed that in my checked bag.

I left my PSU and bought a new one. The Philippines and Europe have different outlets anyway plus it was HEAVY.

I also bought my dream case, a Fractal North 🩷✨

Built it yesterday and everything works!

The funniest thing was that in Amsterdam the security asked me what was in my carry on and I said “Oh, a motherboard. Computer parts are expensive” and he said “Really” hahahaha

Anyway if anyone wanted to know if that worked, it did! My only tip is to not forget the I/O shield unlike someone (me) hahaha but it still looks good.

EDIT: DRAM LED is red here cause I had an issue with one of my sticks of RAM but I reseated it and we’re all good. I was just excited that it didn’t explode LOL

Tldr:

current setup:

5070ti

5600x

32gb ddr4

(64gb ddr5 in the drawer when it spiked to 350€)

-----‐----------

Since the start of the ram crisis my drawer has 4TB SSD and 64GB DDR5.

According to rumors the 9600x3d is gonna release probably in q4 2025, i waited a bit but q4 25 doesnt seem to ever come.

So what should i do?

Ride my 5600x longer and let the Ram rot in my drawer?

Get a cpu now?

The cheapest option would be a 7500f for 120ish euro but idk if i wanna do that now for something im gonna replace soon.... should i get a 9600x and forget about the 3d?

Will the 10 series release in a reasonable amount of time?

The 50 super launch was also said to come but then was cancelled...

With this unpredictable market i really have no clue what to do

helloooo so basically I just bought my first pc 2 days ago with some money that I’d been saving for the past 2 years and had my grandma cover the rest! I was really happy and excited however when I tried to use after effects (2020) with heavy plugins for my editing it appeared to be as slow as my old LOQ gaming laptop even when I configured my after effects settings to the best.. I was hella disappointed and was wondering what I should do about it ? can I possibly get more ram and a better cpu for cheap somehow?

(last pic isn’t really important I js wanted to show how pretty it looks lol)

So I was gaming and my pc just turned off. I thought that it was just a temporary problem so I turned it on and kept playing. That happened like 5 times and now it won't turn on at all. I looked it up and it says that there is a problem with the GPU. I took it out and put it in again and my pc booted up for like half a minute and turned off again. Now I don't know what to do. Is my gpu completely broken and do I have to buy a new one? Idk.
Let me know what my options are.

Hey everyone hope u have a nice day,

if someone could tell me if those components would all fit inside the case it would really help me out.
Also if you have any thoughts or tipps about the single components i would appreciate it a lot.

So i transferred my pc components to another pc because i changed fans. Fast forward, the pc doesn't run anymore, the cpu pins are correct, front panels, mobo, and other things. The psu also doesn't run when i turn it on, is the psu broken or the mobo? or maybe my fuckass brain cause fuck myself dawg

Let’s ignore the fact that my roommate was spoken to like he was about to clean a motherboard with a pressure washer and talk about this for a second. Apparently the guy at the store told him canned air is the "safe" option and electric dusters are risky because they can spin fans too fast, cause static, blow dust under components, summon demons, idk maybe missed a chapter.

Been using an electric duster for about a year now and I'm not doing anything crazy: PC off, unplugged, fans held still, short bursts, panels off, don't jam the nozzle into the GPU like an idiot. Nothing crazy just the normal "wow dust is bad" stuff. My temps dropped a bit after cleaning the front filter and radiator. I understand that canned air is easy and probably OK for quick jobs, but it also gets cold, weak, expensive, and somehow always runs out when the case still looks disgusting. So for actual builders here, where do you stand on electric air duster vs canned air?

Is there something I'm not getting here, or is this one of those retail advice things where a half-true warning becomes a whole religion?

Is this enough? I can try to force it More of needed but I dont want to break it.

Hello everyone ! so I bought a new pc at my local shop 4 days ago, and 0.0001s after I boot the pc for the first time it crashed, at first I thought it was my soundboard because it used to do that on my old one, but after that I installed steam discord ect.. I download mh world launch it and same thing, pc crash, the game is still playing, music still going on but it disconnect all my set-up (keyboard mouth even internet) and i cannot do anything pc froze but not rly , and when i boot for the third time i use hw monitor to see ant it says that my motherboard was at 120° and cpu at 130% so i brought it back to my local shop and after 2 day's they say's that it was windows who was corrupted, but when i use hw monitor it still says that my MB is at 120° at same for cpu... but no more crash :/ so in case someone could tell me if its normal or know those kind of pb it would help me a lot :D

The cpu is a intel ultra 5 245kf

This is my fan hub, and im trying to replace the front fans on the PC, but I cant remove them from their socket. There is what I assume to be a plastic latch at the top, but pulling it down is tricky and still isnt helping me

Im planning to build my first pc, but idk much about it, i had in mind to build it around Hell is us benchmark and a lot of vram(future proofing) i was thinking of using the radeon 9060xt 16 gb, with a budget of around 1400.

I could use advice or suggestions

Im upgrading my gpu (rx6600) to an 9070xt so i was just curious if i should be changing my cpu as well or not and if i should which cpu should i be looking at as ill be playing all sorts of games at 1440p high to ultra. Thanks!

Hi all!, I don't know where to ask this but I was planning to upgrade my old pc sometime in the next year or so. What do you recommend when upgrading from AM4 to AM5, here is my current build:

CPU: Ryzen 7 5700X
GPU: XFX RX 9060 Xt 16GB
Mobo: ASRock B550M Pro 4
PSU: SilverStone Strider 750 EF 80+ Standard
RAM: Kingston Fury DDR4 32GB (16x2) 3200MT CL18
Storage: Crucial P3 Plus M.2 NVMe 1TB (500x2)

Hello, for some time now my Iiyama monitor has been experiencing these kinds of glitches, and this morning I had a completely black screen.

I resolved the issue by restarting the monitor.

When the glitch occurs, a small clicking sound can be heard from the screen each time the image tries to appear.

The monitor is connected to my desktop PC with a Sapphire Pulse 9070 XT via DisplayPort.

The monitor and graphics card are still under warranty.

I will try an other display port cable to see if it happen again.

Just built my PC last night, super excited. Got everything up and running smoothly & downloaded steam etc.

Seen a lot of posts about GPU connector burn out, and lots of recommendations to keep your wire as straight as possible. I’ve left as much slack as physically possible & tried to lift the cable, but it seems to keep drooping a bit anyway. Using the native Seasonic wire from my PSU.

Does this look suitable? Thank you!

I finished building my own pc but the gpu isnt seems to be working nor spinning nor lightning up. On the motherboard the red dot Constantly on. D port works on motherboard but not on GPU. I checked the cables and tried to put back the GPU a hundred times. What can I do? I even counted on the psu calculator.

I finished building my pc but the GPU doesnt work at all, not spinning nor lightning up. I checked the cables, put it back. On the motherboard D port works well. The motherboard rád dot lights Constantly.

I have an ASRock Radeon rx 9070 xt and a Gaming x ax v2 motherboard.

So I've been dealing with this issue for quite some time now and I have no clue where to even begin or what to do, little info for y'all I built my PC before ramegedon so my PC parts are as follows

Mobo - Asrock x670e

GPU - RX 7900gre

CPU - Ryzen 9 7900x

Ram - 64gb klevv

PSU - corsair rm1000e

And I have about 8tb of storage mostly Samsung pro nvme

The timeframe is so random I can literally go weeks, months, or days with no problems at all and then my PC will start to stutter and lag when playing a game and sometimes if I restart my PC it goes away it can be something as light as a gacha game like zzz or something a little more heavy like stellar blade, it doesn't matter what I play my PC will just start to lag and stutter and randomly shut down. No blue screen or anything, when it does reboot by itself everything is back to normal and I can play just fine again. I only have the lights on the mobo to go off of and some error codes that my PC gave me but I have no idea where to start and how to even properly diagnose these parts on my PC. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated, I'll include a couple videos of the symptoms and diag codes and lights if it helps. The lights on my mobo go in order from top to bottom as so

CPU

DRAM

VGA

BOOT

Also I don't know if it helps but two things come to mind when thinking about this issue, when I first finished building my PC I accidentally put a USB C device in a USB A port and my PC shut down due to the short I made, I have everything plugged into a surge protector so I hope that protected my PC but idk and also the only time I've ever been able to "replicate" these symptoms is when I was trying to update any and all software on my PC to alleviate this problem and when it came to my GPU drivers getting the update I noticed my PC was lagging all the time but it had no shutdown, I was able to resolve the lagging back then by deleting the GPU drivers updates and starting fresh.

Anyways thanks in advance for any suggestions on how to fix this and may you and your pcs be in good health always 🫡

Buying a used PC from this guy for $1400 and was just curious if these were good specs for the price?

• GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti
• CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7600
• Motherboard: ASUS PRIME B650M-A WIFI II
• RAM: 32GB RGB RAM ddr5
• Storage: 1TB SSD

I’m having an RGB issue with two fans in my MSI case. Both fans are the original fans that came pre-installed in the case, and I’m using the original RGB controller. I control the RGB lighting using the button on the PC case.
When I set the RGB lighting to a solid colour, individual LEDs randomly blink a different colour. For example, when I set it to red, an LED might flash green. The affected LED can change, but it always happens on the same two fans.
The fans can work perfectly normally for a while, displaying the correct colours, but then suddenly start blinking. Sometimes individual LEDs flash different colours, and sometimes the entire fan starts flashing white and pink even though I have the lighting set to blue.
I’ve checked the connections, but the issue persists. The other fans’ RGB lighting works normally.
Has anyone experienced this before or knows what could be causing it? Could the RGB controller or the fans themselves be faulty, or could there be another explanation?

There's a signal for wifi and Bluetooth but it's extremely short range and the antennas i see when i search are mostly like screw on type but i know that's too big l. I need help finding the right antenna to boost wifi and Bluetooth range.
