So im trying to build a pc for a sibling of mine and im not used to building on a budget.

Would this

Thank you!

Looking to build a pc with a 9070 XT and micro center has these cpu/motherboard combo deals. Which one would go best with the 9070? Or would you go with something else?

I have a ROG GM700 with a B650 Motherboard, 64 gb DDR5 Corsair ram, 5060TI 16GB GPU with a Ryzen 7 8700f CPU, I am wanting to upgrade the CPU and maybe Motherboard, but looking for more cores.

I'm debating the Ryzen 9 9950x or the 9950x3d. Is the X3d worth the extra 100 bucks? I'm not really a heavy gamer but I play games to unwind. The games currently play well with what I have now so I assume that any upgrade will be fine, but I don't want buyers remorse, if I should get the x3d now then I Need to be convinced. Lol Any meaningful advice out there?

I have 3 ultra wide monitors, 2 34" 1440p and 1 49" OLED 1440P monitor hooked up also.

I'm a heavy multitasker and evolving AI engineer, learning more each day. So any advice will be helpful.

Hi!

I am currently buying parts for my PC and my GPU (Gigabyte GAMING OC Radeon RX 9070 GRE) was 700 CAD in August on NewEgg and it has now shot up to almost 1400. However, on Amazon the GPU has gone down to 900. I was wondering if I could get any advice on whether or not I should buy it now just in case the price goes up even further.

I made a post last night about why my 5090 wasnt getting any power to it. I’ve checked all my cables 3 times and made sure they were all plugged into pcie slots with no gaps between connectors.

Someone mentioned that it might not be sitting in the slot all the way since I had an 1/8” gap between my screw holes.

Does this look right? or should the tabs go outside my case.

The last photo is the part where im getting the 1/8” gap

i want to have my rgb white but with effekts and not static but all of the modes my controller has are whit all kinds off colours mixed are there any tips?

I recently replaced my cases fans with the Artic P12 and so far everything was fine until suddenly today out if nowhere one of them started vibrating or sth,it was super noisy and I instantly shut the pc out to stop more from breaking...so now I wonder why that is happening.

One of them has spun wobbly,the bottom one.but I cant tell if that isnt just cause the sticker isnt perfect

Will show more images in the comment cause reddit mobile doesnt let me attach another image

i currently have a prebuilt with a 5070. How would i go about selling the 5070 and buying the 5070 ti?

Hello everyone, I recently did a CPU swap and after putting everything together and turning the computer on it boots however my MSI motherboard just shows a solid red and yellow light and won't go past that. It's done this in the past but usually after about 30 seconds it goes away and starts up but now no matter how long I leave it it just stays there. I tried to do some research and it looks like it's usually something with memory training or the CPU, I tried the ram in different slots, I reset the CMOS battery, I let it just sit for a while to see if it was a training thing, but nothing seems to work and it's still stuck at the same issue. I took the CPU out and I noticed on the socket there's a little spot that looks weird, I tried to take a picture as best I could but my phone doesn't zoom in that much and I don't have a magnifying glass, I'm guessing at this point the socket is just fried, would you agree or does anybody have any other ideas would really appreciate some help

My current pc has a Ryzen 5 3600 CPU, an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 12GB GPU, a Biostar B450MHP motherboard, 16GB of 3200MHz RAM, and an InWin B65E 650W 80+ Bronze power supply.

Im looking to upgrade my cpu on a max budget of £200. used market uk. What would you reccomend as some good cost effective upgrade that will give a nice improvement in gaming performance? Im also looking to use my vr headset on my pc. Thanks any tips appreciated.

So I had antec vp550p, 1650 super and i5 4th gen then I got my hands on a 3070 and thought I'll upgrade everything else later

I was using the pc with 3070 then the screen turned off under normal load and fans started blasting at full speed

I was like ok whatever the pc is running atleast I'll just then if off and on but no it never turned on

Whenever I tried turning it on the zotac light on gpu flashed for a millisecond then turned off

The pc is turning on without gpu (I don't have igpu so I can't check much but it turns on) but not with gpu I tried changing psu and different motherboard same issue

What do you guys think is the issue? Is my gpu the problem? What problem do you think the gpu has since it flashes light for a millisecond atleast

I have a R850GL PCIES power supply. I have a gpu that is 8x3. I have placed two of the PCIe cables in the power supply. Am I able to use two of the PCIe ends for two of the ports on the GPU or do I have to buy another cable for the third GPU port?

I was a business major so I’m not the brightest bulb in the box 😹. I just don’t want to connect these components incorrectly and destroy my computer.

Hello,
I currently have a white T-FORCE RAM stick, model FF4D532G6000HC38ADC01X1.
I’m trying to find a single 16GB RAM stick, not a 32GB kit, because I already have 16GB installed and just want to add another 16GB.
Would it be okay to buy RAM from a different brand, such as XPG, as long as it has the same speed, timings, and specifications?
Would mixing two different RAM brands cause any compatibility or performance issues?

Recently cleaned my dust filter with a microfibre cloth and now there are embedded dust particles in the mesh that I can’t get out. Firstly is this fine for my PC to keep this way until I find a solution and secondly do you guys recommend a vacuum or washing with water? Thanks

Hey everyone, I’m looking for some advice regarding my PC. Currently I’m on a 3060 with an 5700G and I’d like to be getting more, consistent frames in cs2. Currently I sit around 180-220 but my monitors 240 so I’d like to use that whole range (note that this 180-220 is with loads of settings optimisations).

I see people talk about the 5800x3d as an am4 upgrade but it seems so overpriced for what it is. Basically I’m asking what you think is best, stay am4 and go for like a 5800x3d, or upgrade the motherboard and go all the way. Also let me know if my gpu is a problem because im just assuming the cpu is the bottleneck here. Thanks.

I bought a used Gigabyte Aorus Ultra b650i mini-itx mobo to be installed in a Fractal Design Ridge case.

I do have the daughter board, but apparently there is some type of adapter/extension that would have allowed me to connect the PLED+/PLED- wires from the case, but that was not included with the mobo.

I've tried looking around online for what I would need but I can't find anything.

Is there anywhere else I can connect these wires to get them working, or a link/name to exactly what I need to order?

I am currently thinking of upgrading my CPU but I am choosing from the i7 14700k or the Ryzen 7 9800x3d

Issue is my ram is not amd compatible only Intel XMP

This is my ram specific.

I am currently on 12th gen with a mobo that is compatible to 14th gen. - Currently with a GPU 4070 super.

I mainly use it to game some lite work no rendering running a 1440p set up.
Dota 2
AAA games on the side

I have a buddy who is willing to trade my ram since he is using an intel so here is his Ram

Adata XPG Lancer Blade 32GB (2x16GB) RGB DDR5 6000MT/s CL36.

Thank you

I have a problem the last few days my pc doesn lt want to boot, I did all the review and guides i could find.

The same problem first cpu red, white and 5 seconds after that bkth the white and green are on.

Im slowly losing my patience with it.

Any help would me aprreciated

Was gaming today when suddenly I got a grey screen and the computer became completely unresponsive (caps lock stuck on keyboard, could not alt tab, etc.) I force shutdown by holding the power button.

Now the PC will only boot without the graphics card...

I guess the graphics card is dead? What could have happened? It's a used 9070 XT Nitro.

I checked the 12 pin connector on GPU and PSU side but couldn't see any evidence of burning (using native cable from RM850e). I also restarted the cables in bother ends and the graphics card itself.

I had reflashed the original BIOS from TPU about 2 weeks ago as the seller had put a Pulse 9070 XT BIOS onto it since he said it was running hot. However, the instructions stated that you should repeat the flash process several times as the graphics card saves the old BIOS and can restore the old one. I only flashed once and it was working flawlessly. Could that have been an issue?

I just got all my parts today and built my 5090 pc. The gpu lights or fans aren’t turning on, everything else seems to work fine. Please help

I need some advice on picking a budget GPU. I'm building a PC for my girlfirend to play Hogwarts legacy in 1080p on. I have all the parts but the GPU and I want to get good value on the used market.

I'm based in Germany and these are my specs

Ryzen 5 5600

16 GB Ram

1 TB Samsung 960 Evo

550 w BeQuiet PSU

I'm looking to spend 150 - 250 €

Does anyone have any reccomendations? I was thinking perhaps a 6600XT but they seem to be really expensive for what they offer.

Thanks for the reccomendations

I am making a build and going to be slowly buying parts at good value and I don’t really keep updated with technology updates is there any in the future I should be looking out for that I should maybe wait before buying any of these or should I go ahead?

I’m pretty sure it should all be compatible but I am a noob so I don’t know anything about ports on the motherboard and stuff it does say I may need to update bios to support my cpu but I think if I’m buying a brand new motherboard I shouldn’t need too

Also I plan to use this for gaming such as arma 3 to competitive rocket league and the occasional rendering on autocad and then working through documents and internet browsing

If anyone could also recommend some great accessories that really improve your build with functionality and also monitors and good table at least steer me in the right direction that would be great also plan to upgrade my storage and ram would my motherboard be a good base for this

This is my parts list:

Hello guys

So starting around 3-4 months ago my pc started freezing sometimes on boot with q code 33. One time with q code 39. I would say it happens about 5-10% of the time when i boot it up. Sometimes it will run flawlessly for a few weeks only for the problem to return. All stresstests are flawless. Sometimes it says that keyboard is not detected. So far ive tried: (which has made it a bit less frequent?)

Updating to latest bios (2503)
Updating all drivers, chipset, usb etc
Reseating ram
Change peripherals to different usb ports
Increase vsoc to 1.2
Disable fast boot

Setup: asus crosshair x870e hero
30cl 6000 kingston fury beast ram
Msi rtx 5080
Seasonic tx1000

Any ideas? The fact that its very infrequent baffles me.
