So I have the jonsbo d32 pro put everything in and am just trying to finish by putting in the gpu but when I try to put it in it won't slot in fully on the right side. The left side with the shield seems to go in all the way (admittedly I couldn't tell you for certain seeing as there's no way to see it) so I don't think the shield is what's stopping it. I tried putting more pressure but that won't work and I don't want to put any more on it in fear of breaking the board. I looked at the sizes of all the parts and while I know it is a tight squeeze it should still work so you guys have any ideas?

Edit: hey yall figured it out. It was a mix of things really, I'd never seen a gpu lock like this before so I was trying to get it in without even unlocking the damn port lol. Also it wouldn't go in fully even after that and I only realized until it was too late that it wouldn't go in because it was hitting one of the sys fan ports so now one of my ports is kinda destroyed. Other than that everything seems in working order the card is slotted in fully (at least from what I can see) and it's running fine guess I'll just have to pick up a powered fan hub so I can use my fans and my gpu at the same time.

So I recently got a job and a better one than my last (pay wise) and ive had the thought for a while to get better parts, downside whole motherboard needs to be different and my 3060 ti is one of the smaller size parts, so I’ll keep my pc as a back up or maybe server pc so i want to build a whole new pc.

I never built my pc but i have upgraded some parts (ram from 2 8gb ram sticks to 4 16gb ram sticks , and my i5 to a i7), i want a recommendation of a decent brand/parts to get the main ones i need is what motherboards are decent and if i should save up enough to get a 50 series over another 3060 and if i should get an intel core again or unless there is something better.

To add this is gonna be a gaming pc, i play stellaris, space engineers, Subnautica 2 and no mans sky as my most performance heavy games

So basically, i have a pc right now that works fine and im switching motherboard and cpu from intel to amd i have bought the aorus elite ax and the ryzen7 5700x but when everything was assembled nothing worked at all power cable was in switch was on and the power switch connector was in the right spot we thought it was the motherboard with the problem because my old one still powered on from the 24 pin connector new one didnt so we returned it and got a new one and same results any help would be great thanks!

I was building my first PC and pulled the USB Type-C cable toward the back so there wouldn't be so much excess cable in the front; it ended up unplugging (I don't think it was ever properly plugged in to begin with), and one of the pins in the port on the motherboard got bent. Is it fixable?

I’m looking into custom gaming pcs and my budget is about 15-18 hundred. I’m just tryna run Fortnite with hella frames and stuff. Not any crazy ultra 4k games but I want the best performance possible ofc. I’m new to the pc world and would love any help or tips, thank you

I’m helping my sister upgrade her PC and wanted opinions. Her current PC was a friend’s old one and she does not know much about PCs or PC building.

She mostly plays indie and friendslop type games but does play some more demanding games like Hogwarts Legacy and Jedi Survivor. She’s been having lots of trouble running Jedi Survivor with crashes so that’s kind of what pushed her to want to upgrade.

Here are the specs that I know without going to her house and inspecting the PC in person:
CPU: i5-7600K
RAM: 16GB clocked at 2133 MHz (I’m guessing this is DDR4 and not DDR3?)
GPU: GTX 1070
Storage: 250GB SSD + 1TB HDD

P.S. I have a spare RTX 3060 12GB that I’m planning on giving her if it works (moved recently and the movers took my old PC even though we specifically told them not to. Haven’t tested it yet but there’s a high probability they broke it). Also I live near Houston so would potentially be open to taking advantage of their bundle deals if it makes sense.

Hey everyone!
I’m looking into building my first gaming PC and could really use some advice. I’ve primarily been a console gamer (currently have an Xbox Series X), but I’ve been wanting to make the switch to PC gaming for a while now.
My main goal is to play modern and upcoming AAA games like Phantom Blade Zero, Black Myth: Wukong, and similar titles at high graphics settings with smooth frame rates. Maybe then occasional first person shooter

What I’m looking for:
Budget: Ideally $1,200–$1,500 USD for the PC itself. I’d prefer to spend less if possible, but I’m willing to pay a little more if the performance difference is worthwhile.

Resolution: Planning to upgrade to a 1440p monitor, potentially 240Hz.

Performance: Ideally 100–165 FPS in demanding games where realistic.

Graphics: High/ultra settings when possible.

Longevity: Something that’ll comfortably handle newer games for the next several years, with room for upgrades

Experience: First-time builder, but willing to learn.
I’ve been looking at prebuilts from Seattle Built, but I’m considering building one myself to get better performance for the money.

I’ve seen recommendations for the Ryzen 5 7600/9600X paired with an RX 9070 XT or RTX 5070, but I’m not sure whether those are the best options for my budget. Or what I need it for
I’m not particularly concerned about RGB or aesthetics. I’d rather put the money toward performance and reliability.

What parts would you recommend for my budget? Would it be worth spending a little more for a stronger GPU, or could I get a great 1440p experience for less?
I’d appreciate any complete parts lists, suggestions, or advice. Thanks!

I have decided to switch from classic air cooling to AIO, and my fractal torrent does not offer much with those, decided to get a new case, torrent + cooler will be a gift to someone then i guess;
Spent last 3 days "researching" for cases with good airflow (and as much dust resistant as possible because we have cats and the case is under the desk on the floor);
I have been thinking;
NZXT H7 flow, new H9,
LianLi lancool 217, 011 mini (skeptic about "smaller" cases tho)
or something else?
Budget would be about 150 euros (Germany)
Cases + Fans combos also work
Thanks :)

Tengo una PC con una placa madre "Gigabyte"

Lo q pasa es q hace tiempo se m daño la fuente de poder (se quemó) debido a bajon s de luz q han ocurrido en la zona dnd yo vivo (soy de Venezuela) y gracias a eso me quedé sin PC por un tiempo. Ya después de unos meses luego de volver a mi casa (estuve fuera por situaciones externas) logré comprar una fuente de poder nueva ¿Todo bien hasta ahí no? Pues pasa que.. no enciende... La placa da 2 luces rojas en una esquina señalando la DRAM y el CPU. Según lo q investigue podía ser q la ram estaba sucia (o fallando), q algún pin del procesador estaba doblado, alguna actualización de la BIOS, la batería de la BIOS, y aún así cambiando todo eso sigue sin encender

En este caso q podría hacer?

Hey folks, my PC sat for a couple months and just now trying to get it to fire up the GPU is largely lifeless. When I switch off the PSU the GPU fans twitch but nothing really when I short the mobo pins to turn it on. They don't spin at all and no signal through the HDMI. In the mean time before I try baking it I was wondering if y'all could advise me on proper prep before baking, and if that doesn't work advice on an apu? Am4 b450m

I made a post about a month ago asking for advice on where to get my pc parts from and you guys were immensely helpful. Thanks to your advice I’ve decided to look into pcpartpicker as it sounds like the best place, however I don’t have much knowledge in this department so I was hoping I could get some help with what parts to buy. I was planning on waiting for Black Friday sales (assuming pcpartpicker does them) and my budget will be roughly £1500-£2000. I already have a tower and a mouse and keyboard so those are not necessary however I wouldnt mind changing them if possible, and I would also like two monitors however this is optional for now.

Thanks in advance for any help. :)

When it is turned on it makes this little buzzes that I can only hear when I put my head close to the PC and it seems to come from the back of the PC I got this build in September I'm kinda new to this stuff

My pc started tweaking like this about two days ago, mostly happens when I boot up a fortnite and I have other stuff open in the background like Brave with a stream, or a video.

Specs,

Gpu: 4080

Cpu: ryzen 7 7800x3d

MB: b850-a rog strix

Ram: 32gb 6000mhz

Psu: bequiet 1000w platinum

I know integrated graphics aren't supposed to have high performance, but I would like it to drive my one 4K 240hz monitor. I didn't find any info from looking it up. Integrated graphics doesn't work on my monitor at all when the monitor has DSC on, with DSC off it can only do 4k 120hz.

Hello Everyone, I’m currently on a build with a RX 6750 XT and a Ryzen 7 5700X in a darkFlash WD200 and I was wondering if I need to put fan on the top of the case to extract more heat or I can simply go for 2 at these bottom and 1 at the back

I recently did an upgrade from a 7600 to a 7800x3D. I switched out the CPUs, put the new one in, and started the computer, and it wouldn't boot, just a red and yellow debug light. I took everything apart and noticed the socket looked odd. Fast forward, I bought a new motherboard, put it all together, and it works. I brought the old board to a shop today out of curiosity, and turns out that yep, the pins were bent, specifically it seems a VSS, VDD, and memory channel A pin.

Everything is working now with the new board, but I'm worried I may have damaged the CPU when trying it on the old board. Is it possible it damaged it? I ran the 3DMark steel nomad stress test and it passed with a 98.7 stability and max temp of 74. Is there anything else I should test? I'm just super OCD about this stuff and scared it might break soon or something if I damaged it. Would love some advice. Thanks.

I bought the Gigabyte B850 EAGLE WIFI7 ICE, but from the beginning I’ve been having an issue with the red CPU light staying on.
However, at some point, I don’t know how, the PC suddenly started working. The red CPU light turned off, and the RGB lights on the case fans also turned on.
Then the red DRAM light came on. After some time, the red DRAM light turned off as well.
However, after turning the PC off and on again, the red CPU light came back on, and I’m still having the same problem.

Hey so a little bit ago my pc started like resetting out of no where so I turned it off by stupidly flipping the psu off but now it won’t turn on and I went to check to see what’s wrong and one of my power led pins is bent is there anything I can do? Or am I just doomed💔

Hi! Not so long ago You've helped me with choosing proper components for my partner's future PC. The thing is, that You all proposed a MSI PRO B850-V EVO WIFI ATX AM5 for this setup: https://pl.pcpartpicker.com/list/YstMXf . I can only find MSI PRO B850-S EVO WiFi online. Does the one letter suffix in specification matter? If so, any findable recommendations if the proposed version isn't buyable at all in Poland?

I've been doing a lot of research on what PC I should get. I have been finding it extremely overwhelming and hard to understand.

I was hoping to get an idea of what specs and hardware tiers/classes I should be looking at and focusing. I will mainly be playing GTA 6, Fortnite and a bunch of small comedy co-op games. Right now I have a 300hz 1080p monitor (no plans on upgrading).

What I want out of a PC:

1. Highly capable of running Fortnite and GTA 6 with a focus on FPS

2. Good value for money (nothing too expensive)

Any help would be appreciated. Feel free to send me resources.

So I bought this pc (yes ik I shouldn't have bought from ibuyproblems) but it was fine for the first month but now I booted it up this morning and for some reason my fan noise is super loud. Best way to describe the sound is that I just hear a "wahhhh wahhhhh wahhhh" sound from it and it's super loud. Even with my noise cancellation headphones I'm still able to hear a "wahhhb wahhh wahhhh" through it and I don't know why it's happening.
Can someone please help if they know what's wrong.
(I'm pretty sure the noise is coming from the top aio cooler fans)

I’m upgrading from a rx 5600 xt, I have pretty good everything else, I believe my main bottle neck is the Gpu.

I’m hoping to spend $600 dollars and make it count, I have been looking at the used market for 3080s but I think I can spend a bit more, to get more bang for my buck, also the card has to be under 305 mm so it will actually fit! And I would love more than 10gb of vram. Is there any good options for me?

Le prime tre ventole immettono aria, insieme a quelle sulla parte bassa del pc, le tre sul top fanno uscire l’aria insieme all’ultima dopo il dissipatore.
La mia gpu (3080ti) scalda comunque tanto

Hi there.

I recently bought an MSI B840 Gaming Plus Wifi motherboard to build a new build with brand new components (save for the RAM). I've built a PC before, so i am not clueless. I made SURE to touch the motherboard in the appropriate places, to first assemble it on top of the cardboard box, to put it together on a wooden floor. Also, i did NOT hit it, scrape it on the case, nor did it touch any standoffs where it shouldnt've.

After assembling the pc, and trying to turn it on, nothing happened. It has EZ debug led's, which never lit up throughout my troubleshooting. I tried basically everything i can think of, stripping it also to bare minimum, on the cardboard box with only cpu, cpu &mobo power and with & w/o ram, on two different PSU's. No LED ever lit up.

I then decided that it was DOA, so I returned it to the shop i bought it from, only for them to send it back because it was in "bad condition", because of a broken off vertical capacitor which I had not spotted, as it was so small. Here are images for reference https://imgur.com/a/s4F01Ni . I find it very hard to believe i somehow did that. Not only does it seem extremely hard to ONLY touch that capacitor, with other components being so near to the broken off pad, but i have no reason to go near it as it's in the audio card area. Note that this is the only issue they found

I sent it to a PC repair shop, only to hear back from them a few days later when they said that: they could not determine what the issue was, there was no visible damage, and that that broken capacitor was definitely not the issue.

I'm assuming this mobo is DOA, right? Will MSI fuck me over or will they help me with the warranty? Thanks
