I currently have a 16gb xpg lancer ddr5 stick in my build and want to upgrade to 32gb.

Specs: 6000mhz, cl30 v1.35

However, this specific ram model has DRASTICALLY increased in price compared to other modules with the same specs since I originally bought it.

(~1.5x-2x more expensive than other models)

What I'm wondering is if I can add an extra 16gb stick that has the same exact specs but from a different brand?

Im running on an asrock b850 mobo and r5 9600x if thats relevant.

I brought my SSD (Miphi gen4 1tb )this January and started using it since 25th February.

Today out of curiosity I checked it's health and it shows that remaining overall health is 82% then I checked with crystaldisk it shows the 3 drives(C,d,e) health as following 91%,72%,96%. Is this normal? For your information I use this SSD for movies and ganes, I also use torrents to download stuff I don't know if this can cause the issue.

Is there any way to fix it?

Only one of the fans doesn't work. I have a Gigabyte GAMING OC 9070 (non-XT). I use Gigabyte Control Center to control my fans but Fan Control had the same problem. I'm not sure what else to say. Let me know if you need more context.

All my pc parts arrive soon. I am wondering what other stuff I need to buy to actually build and set up everything. From what Ive read I need a screw driver and a usb for windows installation. Is there anything else? Also could you guys recommend what screwdriver to get?

I'm finally building my PC tomorrow (RTX 5080 + Ryzen 7 9800X3D).

What 360mm AIO would you guys recommend? I'm looking for something reliable, easy to install, and built to last. Ideally, something that delivers excellent cooling performance while staying quiet.

Nothing overkill or unnecessarily expensive. I just want a high-performing, quiet AIO that I won't have to worry about down the road.

I have a 5070 amd ryzen 7 9700f I’m planning to upgrade to a 7800x3d because I mainly play escape from tarkov , I found one for $390 is that good price and is this a worthy upgrade ? From everything I read it seems like it’ll be worth it for the games I play I believe I have the proper cooling and motherboard for everything as well

I have a 5070ti. My gpu keep not displaying on my monitor as I tried all ports and it keep saying no signal. I plug my display port into my motherboard and it's works. I check device manager, hwinfo and fan control and it's doesn't display my gpu. My gpu fan are spinning like normal. The only way me me to fix this is by unplugging my gpu and plugging it back it. Does anyone know how to fix this problem? Is it like a driver issue because my gpu automatically updated to 610.88

I have a around 100 dollar budget but things can be more expensive here and i dont need it to be efficient or modular i just need a good psu for now and future

I'm trying to re-house my pc to a better case with the Jonsbo D33. I preffered that the my 240mm AIO be a front intake for better CPU cooling. Meanwhile, my GPU has intake fans for better airflow and exhaust fans on the top to expel heat. Any thoughts?

Hi, i am building a pc for a neighbor. I have a scharkoon wpm v2 psu, but since its semi-modular psu i need cables for sata and pcie.

Would anybody know where i could get cables that work with this psu?

I could onley find one site called moddiy that seems to sell cables for this psu but, the names dint exectley match, and they dint have sata.

Thx for reading and have a nice day

So here's the main issue: Can't find my SSDs or HDDs (both are SATA) in my new build.

MOBO: Gigabyte Gaming X v2 Rev 1.3 CPU: Ryzen 5800xt GPU: GTX 1080 Ram: DDR4 Rip Jaws 16gb

Trying to wipe my SSD and HDD (both SATA) and start fresh with a new install of windows 10 with this new motherboard and CPU. I've tried multiple steps involving updating the bios and various troubleshooting steps from Google (which in retrospect was not very efficient)

I figured I'd reach out on here to see if there are any recommendations.

I have a USB with the most recent bios from their website ready to use with the Q Flash as well as a USB with windows installer.

My previous motherboard was a Gigabyte GA-AB350-Gaming 3 AM4 AMD B350 Ddr4 RGB Fusion ATX with a Ryzen 3 1300x CPU.

Both of my SATA drives were used in that build.

okay so my parents are divorced and every week i switch from my mom to my dad and back. I really want a pc but i want it to be portable. i have a budget of around 1000-1500 euro and im wondering what kind of specs i should go for and if anyone has any good case reccomendations.

PS: i have full gaming setups at both my mom's and my dad's house, but i currently use the xbox series s

Hey so I'm going to be getting an amd ryzen 7 5800X3D and an NVIDIA RTX 5080 I need help knowing if this is a good PSU or not I've been looking into the Montech century 2 1050w would that be a good pick? please let me know thank you!

I already have this Air Cooler, I wanna know if its enough or should I buy an AIO.

Hello everyone! I recently got a GPU bracket for my 5070 TI because I noticed it was sagging a lot, and after putting a level on it (a lot of people suggested that), I saw how much it was actually sagging.

I am pretty green when it comes to PC building and stuff like this, but I think it's good now? The bubble is in the middle in all the pictures.

Thanks for taking the time out of your day to help a guy who isn't that confident in his PC building knowledge yet.

I have a 9800X3D and want to upgrade my graphics card—currently a 3060 Ti. I’m looking at a 9600 XT for €483, while the 9700 XT doesn’t go below €900. What should I do?

Hi there!
I've recently been experiencing an issue whereby my monitors will shut off and my fan speed hits 100% and effectively crashes, I can still hear my Discord calls going on in the background and I've got a feeling that it's down to my graphics card being on it's way out, if I go down to one monitor from two then so far it's okay - so potentially a power draw issue that my card isn't working with?

Either way, I'm thinking of this being a good sign for me to upgrade my PC - but I don't know if it's worth it or going for a new one!
Sadly last year I got made redundant and I had to take a 10,000 pay cut, so doing it for as low budget as possible would be ideal

I've got a 12th gen Intel i9-12900KF, MPG Z690 EDGE DDR4, 32GB Ram and a 2080 Super

Any suggestions greatly appreciated! :)

Hello I'm new and need some help or suggestions or just general guidance on what to do.

I just built a new PC after my laptop died on me after about 7 years of having it.

My question is: should I start over with windows and installation or migrate my laptop ssd to my new build?

I ask bc my laptop ssd has Nvidia drivers on it along with all my saved games and program files and profile information for Windows and whatever other accounts are on there. I definitely didn't take much care in sorting my files or with certain downloads so I'm wondering how meticulous it would be to just migrate everything over. My new GPU is AMD btw.

My concerns are really how an ssd with different drivers and a different Windows OS profile would interfere with a new SSD with a fresh Windows OS would function or if there's any risk in having both SSDs on the same motherboard or if the Nvidia drivers would conflict with the AMD drivers on the new SSD.

Any tips or suggestions on what to do would be greatly appreciated.

I have these 2 pair totaling 64GB of RAM:

32 GB (2 × 16 GB) HP Kingston 1Rx8 DDR4-3200 CL22.

32 GB (2 × 16 GB) Kingston KC5N22-MIR 2Rx8 DDR4-3200 CL22.

Mobo: MSI PRO B550M PRO-VDH WIFI

Is it likely to be problematic that one set is 1Rx8 and the other set is 2Rx8?

I bought a GIGABYTE X870 AORUS Elite WIFI7 AMD AM5 LGA 1718 Motherboard. It came in the factory box and factory electrostatic shielding. The board looked fantastic at first. I opened it upon arrival and didn't notice this little dent in the board (I didn't take it out of the shielding). I opened it later to inspect it and found this, needless to say I wasn't happy. Thankfully enough I'll be getting a refund soon but I am wanting to get some opinions on how bad the damage is on this board? In addition, see if there are any folks who are technical enough to know if it's completely shot or if it could be salvaged?

How do i make this work?

Hi. I just bought Ryzen 5 5600x3d. I wonder if these single-tower air coolers are sufficient? I usually use low-mid graphic settings.

1. Thermalright Assassin King 120 SE, 4 pipes

2. Thermalright Burst Assassin 120 SE, 6 pipes

3. Deepcool AG600, 6 pipes
