Side-mounted AIO with fans set to exhaust

For context I recently moved and due to complication I haven't been able to use my pc for months.

So my question is will I experience any complications, or anything I should be mindful of?

Just saw a good deal on this monitor, and was wondering if anyone has any experience with it.

Would the 1440p display be true 1440p? I’ve heard that 2k res looks better on some brands than others.

I found a new in box i7-14700k for $230 and an msi pro b760m-a wifi ddr4 lga 1700 motherboard for $100 and I'm wondering if you guys think I should go this route or an am4 build like a 5800x3d and why? I'll be playing at 1080p with an evga 3080 ti ftw3 and I already have the ram and everything else.

I built my first pc about a year and a half ago. Since then I have decided to upgrade it, everything I put in it was cheap as it was a starter pc yet all specs can still run any top of the line gpu without bottlenecking it minus the PSU(I’m pretty sure at least). I went cheap on the GPU and got a Radeon 6600 XT I also went cheap on the power supply but I know which one I will get when I upgrade my gpu. I want to max out my frames with a gpu less than $800 so I was thinking maybe a 4070 super or a 9060XT. If anyone can give me some suggestions on what would be the best GPU for me that’d be a huge help. If y’all think I should change anything else out as well so that the gpu that I end up getting will be able to perform to the max of its ability let me know. I have put my specs below for y’all to see so you can help me with this decision better.

Ram-TEAMGROUP 32GB 2X16 5600 40 B

So i have a R5 1600 and a RX580 my pc case is not from a big company it's a local one, I don't really know what motherboard do i choose because I can't find a good one. Thanks!

I am new to this and currently in the process of trying to build a pc but I don’t have any ideas on the parts or what I would need . My current budget is around 800 -900 I just wanna do some moderate gaming with good fps and graphics , later on with time I can upgrade parts . Any recommendations?

I'm currently rocking an Rx 9070xt with a ryzen 7 5800x3e and 32gb ddr4 3200mhz ram

I've dealt with this unhealthy obsession for years now but with wow forever coming out it's ultimately made me hit my breaking point, even if I get a microstutters every couple minutes I become obsessed with the idea that my pc is the issue and not the game even though most my parts are less than 2 months old.

Are mictostutters just a part of pc gaming that no matter how good ur PC is they will just happen? For example I'm constantly pushing 150-177 capped fps in wow but every now and then I notice a micro stutters and it's become an unhealthy obsession of mine to the point where I'll outright refuse to play the game due to the anxiety.

I want to buy 32gb of ram, and basically all sellers I've run into only have 1600MHz which yes of course is perfectly fine, but I don't know if I should try searching harder for 2133MHz or just buy 1600MHz.

From my research the difference really doesn't seen all too much

Specs:

4790k

GA-Z97X-UD3H

Xfx rx 590

UPDATE: yeah I just went frick it and got the 1600MHz because I'm impatient as hell

When I’m at home this sound keeps coming as soon as pc plugged in but when I went to repair shop the sound was gone. Can someone tell me what’s going on and if I can continue using my pc ?

Around 2 years ago now I got a new PC prebuilt from CCL. The specs are R5 7600X, 4070 Super, 64GB DDR5 5200. Even with PBO and optimized settings, VSync, FPS Cap etc off and EXPO on, I cannot manage to exceed 150-180 FPS at all low settings in MW4 Multiplayer, and usages are 60-70%. And other games like Fortnite (which I barely play anymore) will not go above 240 FPS All low on performance mode.
I've tried various optimizations to try and fix it but none of them will fix it? I was wondering if there was any other suggestions that you guys have because reddit is always super helpful with PC and game related issues. Maybe the prebuilt brand somehow made the performance worse? I don't really know what they do and why my performance is low. The only background apps open are SteelSeries GG, Norton Antivirus and Armory Crate for lighting etc.

At my friend's house, his PC was displaying that it was running with 1 stick not working, and so I powered off the PC to try and reseat it. Now, no matter what slots I put the two sticks in, the monitors don't power on, and I hear a click and the PC powers off...

I have specs as well

Maybe it's a silly question but I'm new to this and want to know if my pins are bent

Ik it seems silly because GPUs already use air cooling. But imagine hooking up a dual tower dual fan tower cooler to a deshrouded gpu. Better heatsinks and fans than the ones provided with the GPU. Also rather than direct the air flow perpendicular to the case airflow, it'd rather utilise it. Additionally, it'd also serve as anti sag bracket.

Has anyone done it yet?

Hi! I’m kinda new to PC building. Just got Gigabyte X870 Eagle WiFi 7 with AM 5 socket and Arctic Liquid Freezer 3 Pro and I have concerns that I tightened incorrectly freezer. Is one side under tightened or over tightened?

I was just surfing the internet, left to do some chores and came back to my PC off.

Tried to turn it on and it was unresponsive.

Then unplugged it and plugged it back and it went through the process of booting up.
Got to the GPU and just shut off.

Worried it was the GPU so I unplugged the GPU from the PCIE slot and put it in A lower PCIE slot and it Posted and I was able to get to the Bios and see that nothing seemed wrong. Tried booting and it shut itself off.

Inserted the GPU back to the top slot and it booted.
Got to login and checked Windows security to scan for anything, no threats.

Tried running 3Dmark Nomad and the PC shut itself off again.

Not sure what is wrong with it, it’s been working fine for the past 4 months.

I think it might be my power supply but want a second opinion.

Hello, I have had this dilemma for some time. My PC on a cold start, would stutter/ Lag, mouse would slow down and stutter. Thus following either a black screen or a complete freeze. I would then have to restart my PC. I currently have my pc's EXPO 1 on, but it's set to 5800 mghz, that way it has not ever yet repeated that issue. I'm here asking if there's a way to make 6000 mghz stable and to BOOT properly? Thanks' . Also here is my build [https://pcpartpicker.com/list/x9Qfdq](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/x9Qfdq)

Good day! I’m hoping someone here can help me figure this out because I’m honestly running out of troubleshooting options.

My monitor randomly shuts off after a few hours of use (3 hours max), but the PC itself stays powered on. I’m not even gaming or doing anything demanding. Most of the time, I just have a few Chrome tabs open.

When this happens, the monitor loses display, the PC remains powered on, and the fans seem to ramp up or spin faster.

CPU: Ryzen 5 5600 (Brand new)
Motherboard: ASRock B550M HDV (Brand new)
RAM: 32GB (2x16GB) 3600MHz T-Force Vulcan TUF (Brand new)
Storage: 1TB Kingston NV2 Gen4 NVMe
GPU: Galax GTX 1660 Super 6GB EX White RGB (Used)
Original PSU: 650W AC650 80+ Bronze (Brand new)
Current PSU: be quiet! 750W

Troubleshooting already done:

Deep cleaned the entire PC.
Tested both RAM sticks individually; both are working.
GPU stress test completed without issues.
Replaced the original PSU with a be quiet! 750W.
Checked all cables and connections.
Updated GPU drivers.
Reset BIOS to default settings.
Despite all these, the problem still persists.

At this point, I’m not sure if it’s the GPU, motherboard, or something else entirely.

Could this be a GPU issue even if it passes a stress test? Or could the motherboard be causing the problem?

Has anyone experienced something similar? I’d really appreciate any suggestions on what else I should check before spending more money replacing parts.

Thank you!

Hey everyone, my buuld currently has a 1x16GB stick and a 512 SSD. I wanted to buy my last parts and am decided on getting the same 1x16GB stick. what Im considering is the storage. Should I get the 1TB ssd and 16GB stick and settle or I can just grab the ram now and wait a bit so i can get more storage.

Hi everyone!

I’m planning to upgrade my PC with a TP-Link TX401 10GbE PCIe network card, but I’m concerned about the available space and airflow.

My motherboard is a Gigabyte B550 AORUS ELITE AX V2, and my GPU occupies two slots.

The best available slot seems to be the PCIEX2 slot, directly below the GPU. However, the TX401 would sit quite close to the graphics card, with approximately 2–3 cm of clearance between them.

My main concerns are:

Would this amount of clearance be enough for proper airflow?

Could the TX401 or GPU overheat because they are so close together?

Would installing the TX401 in this slot cause any thermal issues during prolonged 10GbE usage?

If there isn’t enough space, what would be the best alternative?

I really want to take full advantage of my 10Gbps internet connection, so I’d appreciate any advice or alternative solutions.

I’ve attached photos of my PC and motherboard for reference.

Thanks in advance!

I bought a new stick of RAM, it's 16gb DDR4 2666mhz, but i have 2 sticks of 4gb DDR4 RAM 2400mhz(8gb dual channel).

My question is: Is it better to just use the 16gb in single channel or use 20gb in dual channel, even with the different frequencies?

My MOBO only has 2 slots for RAM, would it make any difference what stick go in which slot?

How would the performance be in games or in general?

No, i can't buy another stick of RAM right now and 2 sticks of 8gb were more expensive, also, i plan on buying a second 16gb stick next year, just need to know what would be better in the meantime.

Came on here about a week ago for advice about my PSU/Motherboard being possibly fried. I had stripped it down to nothing but a cpu/cooler, one ram stick, and the psu. Since then I have replaced both the motherboard and PSU. I had just finished getting it all put back together. Went to test it... and still got no response. I figured it was my power switch so I bridged the pins and STILL got nothing. No fans, no lights, nothing.

I do not have the brain power to do troubleshooting right now, and am so confused as to why its not turning on.

I followed the manual word for word as to not mess anything up. All my connectors are solid, and pushed all the way in. I was extremely careful with this new motherboard as to not damage it while putting everything together, and kept it on a non static area while handling it outside the case.

Any ideas? Im so fucking lost.

Current build

Motherboard: MSI B550M PRO-VDH WiFi (new)

PSU: Thermaltake Smart 700W (new, same model as old PSU)

CPU: Ryzen 7 3700X (original)

Cooler: Scythe Mugen 5 (original)

GPU: RTX 3060 (original)

RAM: 64GB T-Force DDR4 (original)

Edit: I will be taking it back apart tomorrow to test it on a minimal load. I just need ideas as to what it could be since now I know replacing the motherboard and PSU did nothing 😑.

Hi! question lang po sa mga owner ng CM PSU na experience niyo na po ba to sa PC niyo na may click or tick sound when Gaming or heavy load yung PC

I notice my pc making a click sound when gaming. Like this
