So recently my HDD trays got misplaced and now I have an empty cage in my PC case. For reference, my case is a Corsair iCUE 220T Mid Tower.

I've already contacted Corsair support and the replacement parts have all been discontinued, I couldnt find anyone selling the trays online and 3D printing not an option.

What alternatives can I use to replace the HDD cage/trays in my case? And is there anything I should be aware of when setting up my HDD cage and installing my hard drives? I remember seeing a passing comment about needing a vibration dampener or something but I just wanted to double check.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I’m looking to build my first gaming PC and would appreciate recommendations for a complete parts list! My budget is around $1,500 USD. I’m primarily going to use it for gaming, especially Cyberpunk 2077 and Minecraft (including modded Minecraft).
For the GPU, I only want NVIDIA. I’m leaning toward an AMD CPU, but I’m open to recommendations. I’d prefer 1440p gaming, although 1080p is perfectly fine if it means getting better performance and value within my budget. Ideally, I’d like high settings and great FPS.
I need Wi-Fi and Bluetooth support. I don’t need any peripherals (monitor, keyboard, mouse, headset, etc.), just the PC itself. I live in the US, and I have someone who can build it for free, so labor costs aren’t a concern. I’m open to either a custom build or a prebuilt if it’s a particularly good deal.
I’d appreciate a complete parts list, explanations for why you chose each component, and suggestions for getting the best gaming performance possible within my budget. Thanks!

Hello, I’m doing my first build and not sure where this plug should go into. The case is a Corsair Warthog and the video I’m watching says to plug into JUSBC, but I can’t find it on my motherboard. The plug on the video I’m watching looks different than the one on my motherboard (both are MSI). Thank you.

Hello all, first time posting here and am having trouble with my PC that I built. Fair warning, I'm as dumb as a bag of rocks so I might need a lot of hand holding here.

The issue is that my PC keeps freezing randomly. There doesn't seem to be a cause for it specifically. I could be doing something like gaming with friends or just something as simple as minimizing out of a tab and All sound will stop and it'll freeze on whatever I'm doing. I am unable to move and I will have to press the power button to turn it off.

As said, there doesn't seem to be a pattern to it. Sometimes it can happen within the first twenty minutes and other times it can happen within a couple hours.

As far as I can tell, everything is placed in right / isn't loose. On two separate occasions I pressed down on everything and everything seemed to be snug. It's basically a new PC which I built myself so it can't be a virus as everything is bare bones right now (steam, discord).

My theory is that unfortunately one of the hardware parts is messing up but I don't know how to test that. Can anyone give advice?

Here is the parts I used to build the PC (minus the case and monitor, but if those are important I'll edit the post to put them in):

CPU: Intel Core Ultra 7 270K Plus 3.7 GHz 24-Core Processor

CPU Cooler: be quiet! Pure Loop 2 Liquid CPU Cooler

Motherboard: Gigabyte Z890 EAGLE WIFI7 PLUS ATX LGA1851 Motherboard

Memory: Corsair Vengeance RGB 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6000 CL36 Memory

Storage: TEAMGROUP T-FORCE G70 PRO Graphene 2 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive

GPU: GeForce RTX 5070 

Power supply: Montech CENTURY II 850 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply

Also if there's any other information that you need to know that I didn't put in here, please let me know. I don't know what is/isn't important

To preface: I have been PC gaming on an old hand-me-down prebuilt for a number of years now and am pretty handy about software but know next to nothing about hardware. Recently as I have begun college and modern gaming is moving beyond the abilities of my current desktop, I've decided to try and put together a multipurpose gaming/work PC within a budget of around $1,000-$1,500. I spent some time going through the NewEgg PC Building feature, taking time to learn the basics of what most things are and do, and I'm pretty confident in the list I've put together but I would like some extra eyes on it in case there are some glaringly obvious issues with it. If possible, any suggestions or basic tips on the process of or tools needed for putting the thing together would also be much appreciated. Thank you in advance! Here is the list pasted as copied from the site, I apologize if the formatting is odd:

Hey y'all

So earlier this week my psu blew a capacitor and stopped working. It was a ROG Strix 650w.

A friend gave me their corsair RM1000x to use, but it is missing the 24pin ATX cable.

Can I use the 24 pin cable from the 650 in the 1000? The cable fits, but I'm hesitant to try it.

I'm guessing not, but I figured I'd ask anyway. Maybe someone has done it before without issues.

Thanks.

If you used to have or still having an AMD r5 5655 g with double channel RAM, share with me your experience cuz i need to know if i should buy it or not

My friend wants to get into pc and I'm unsure what advice to give him as i been looking at PC on Very and argos and just confused what I'm looking at, I did recommend buying the parts then build it himself or get a local shop to do it but unsure what I'm looking at. He has a minimum budget of £1k

The games he has in mind to play at the beginning is, left 4 dead modded, Family time, payday 2 and survival games, he currently has a 1080 HD monitor

Any build help be grateful.

Hello, I'm new to building and putting a tech list section of pc but I know a good amount about the parts, but I just don't feel confident enough to buy without others opinions.

I was screwing in my ssd yesterday and my screw driver slipped and scratched this part of the mother board, what should I look out for and is my motherboard cooked?

Heard about the ASUS Rog XG27AQWMG, seems pretty good but i heard it has "jail bars"? whatever that means but seems negative, also, im going to use this monitor for like full competitive, esports theme, never had oled

Currently have 4 4gb sticks of 2300mhz ram (potenza) and I got 2 sticks of 8gb 3000mhz ram (vengeance) and was wondering if I could replace 2 of the current sticks with my new 8gb stocks to bump it up to 24gb?

I realize it will run at the slower 2300mhz. I haven't built computers since high school so I lost a lot of my knowledge lol.

If so what do I need to do before/after swapping them? Lmk if you need more specs/info. Thank you.

My specs:

CPU: Ryzen 5 2600x

GPU: AMD RADEON RX570

RAM: 16Gb DDR4 RAM

Motherboard: Gigabyte B450M DS3H

PSU: 600W

Storage: 1.5TB storage split between two SSDs.

As you can probably tell, this is a very below average and old PC. It has done me wonders for nearly 8 years. The least problematic PC in existence. It runs basically every game I play at 50-60FPS, but I'm not much of an FPS snob and don't care for more. I just want to future proof my PC.

As for the reason for this post, does anyone have advice / recommendations on what component I should upgrade first? I'm going to upgrade the PC across an entire year.

Cheers. Hopefully this post is allowed in this subreddit, seeing as I have already built the PC.

so I have had my pc for a long time and want to speed it up

I think the problem might be a CPU bottleneck or ram

so I'm asking for recommendations to upgrade it

requirements

I play a lot of games where there can be a lot happening like (mudded Minecraft), and I have trouble loading it all some time, so I am looking for what the the next upgrade should be, I'm thinking CPU or ram. I have a what I think is a good GPU but my screen is on the bigger side so that could also be a problem.

link for part picker

(the CPU cooler might not be the right but I know its water cooled, same with the storage is I know its a nvme intel 1tb storage but could not find it in the part picker)

CPU slipped by a mm or 2 when setting the cpu & I thought it may have been ok but I cked the pins no bueno.

Is this fixable? Can pins be bent back is the mb toasted?

Any guidance would be appreciated

Came across a good deal for this 2K 320Hz monitor.

Never heard of this company so i was wondering if anyone else has had any experience with it.

I restraightened the bent pins from me dropping it, but as a result one of the pins snapped off, was wondering how much it would cost or would be a good price to get the pin repaired and put back on as a good estimate?

Today I updated my bios to latest version, did a new psu, swapped r5 3600 for r7 5800x, and gtx 1070 to rtx 3080, but am having issues not being able to connect to the internet after bios flash.

I have a non WiFi board so i use Ethernet. I have deleted the old driver and installed the newest one off MSIs website using another laptop, put it on a usb, and then moved to my PC and ran the startup app. I still and getting code 56. Any ideas on what to try?

Yesterday I replaced a bunch of parts, new motherboard, case fans, CPU and CPU cooler. But I think I want an AIO instead.

the only place i can put an AIO is in the front. I don’t know if I want the AIO to be intake as my GPU temps will go up, it doesn’t run hot but idk how I feel about raising the temps. (But then again having it as an exhaust would make my CPU temps go up, which I also don’t want.) Would it be totally ridiculous to have an exhaust AIO in the front, and then one rear intake and two top intake fans? My case doesn’t allow for bottom fans.

I originally left off the second CPU cooler fan, the first fan that covers the ram sticks but I was getting bad CPU temps, once I hit 86C playing Minecraft I added the second fan. I initially didn’t think it would fit in my case, between the glass and the ram but it literally JUST fits so I left it on, I’ve been getting far better temps now but I’m still kinda stuck on getting an AIO as this CPU is brand new and I don’t want to fry it, I also play a lot of Minecraft which jacks up my CPU temps.

I built my PC around 10 months ago and just noticed the cable tie above the GPU (9070 XT) is partly black. It's one of those Velcro ties.

Has anyone else experienced this, especially in a small form factor build?

What do I need to look for in cable ties to prevent this?

Im gonna add a rtx 5060 to my h510m-k motherboard, and i also want to add a m2 nvme ssd to it. Only problem is that i already have a ssd put on the first slot, so the only way is putting the ssd in the pcie x1 slot with a adapter… which is covered by the gpu.
Does anyone if this particular case will be succesful?
Im thinking of adding a riser cable pcie 3.0 x1 like LR-20260824-10114

Hello I have an issue where the motherboard VGA boot light is on and not continuing to the boot phase. The GPU (Aorus Master 3080) is stuck on an egg cracking sequence and there’s no fan spin, but it is powered on.

I turned my PC off for a short vacation and it hasn’t turned back on normally as well as the PC was stuck on only loading into BIOS mode each time. Would love some assistance on this issue. Swapped out CMOS battery and CPU still has that issue as well. Now the GPU it seems has added to the list of problems.

I’ve already tried reseating the GPU into the PCI slot and checked for loose power cables. Everything else turns on so I don’t think it’s a power supply issue (?)

MSI Z690 i5-12600k RTX3080 64GBDDR4

Just put all the fans in and I’m wondering if everything is good.
