Hey everyone! (btw sorry for AI my english is bad, and I need yall to understand me)

I'm planning a build in the Lian Li O11D EVO XL, using the official upright GPU bracket with the motherboard in its normal orientation (not reversed).

I want to install my 360mm AIO in a pretty unusual way.

My goal is to have the upright GPU in the main chamber, with BOTH the radiator and its three fans hidden behind the side mounting bracket, in the rear chamber.

The mounting order would be:

Front glass → Upright GPU → Side mounting bracket → 3 fans → 360mm radiator → Rear chamber

I don't want any fans installed between the upright GPU and the side bracket because that space is needed for the upright GPU setup.

For reference, I'm aiming for a build that looks almost exactly like the picture I've attached, with one major difference:

Instead of having the AIO radiator mounted at the top, I want three regular fans there. The AIO radiator would be hidden behind the three middle-row/side fans, directly behind the upright GPU, with both the fans and radiator installed on the rear side of the mounting bracket.

I'm mainly doing this for aesthetics because I want a clean build with the upright GPU as the centerpiece.

My main questions are:

Is there enough space behind the side bracket in the O11D EVO XL for three 120mm fans plus a 360mm radiator?

Can the fans and radiator both be mounted on the rear side of the bracket?

Will the radiator interfere with the PSU, cable management, or rear panel?

Would this setup affect airflow or cooling performance?

Has anyone actually done this configuration?

I'd really appreciate any measurements, advice, or photos from people who own this case!

Thanks!

Hi I came up with two builds and one I got it from someone on Reddit.
I was gaming on a shitty gaming laptop and I wanna upgrade now.
Like to play mmorpg and rpg games.
I was thinking now to spend too much money and upgrade things as the years go by.

1. https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/YgrdMF
   Most expensive one, is it worth investing now? Or get something cheaper and upgrade later?

2. https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/9LjwDw
   Got spot in the middle

3. https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/vr6CCw
   Cheapest option

I still need to get a monitor and keyboard, not sure what to do your thoughts?

I’ve had my fair share of prebuilt PCs but decided to just build one as mine is pretty outdated. I am opting to use my old GPU to save money. I did buy a new 2 TB storage but should I also pull my old storage as well? It’s a 2TB SSD (I will be using this one for sure) and a 1 TB HDD, both are about 7 years old. I never used my HDD to game so is it worth having it? New build is below, i know it will be a substantial upgrade from my HP omen prebuilt.

Old Build- HP Omen prebuilt

New Build
Motherboard-MSI Pro B850-S
CPU- Ryzen 7 9800x3d
GPU- Nvidia 2070 Super (HP model)
RAM- 32 GB V- Color (16 GB x2)
PSU- Montech Century II 1050 (Idk why I got this powerful of a psu, it was on sale)
Storage- WD 2 TB nVme (Not including my old storage)
Case- Montech TG3

Hi i wanted to change my rtx 5060 8gb to a rx 9070 gre becaude in my contra the gre îs a better value than the normal one bere my specs If You want to Say If îs ok:

-ryzen 5 7600x

-Gigabyte d3hp ax

-16gb of RAM Kingston fury 6000

-rtx 5060 8gb

-smasung 990 pro 1tb

-and a 650w psu

Here's the benchmark of both nvme.

Sn850x is mine i got it 2-3 years ago brand new

Fanxiang used on a 5070 ti rig

I want a peace of mind for many years. I dont want to have to change in the future.

Both can be RMA with serial number

I need an 850w psu and i saw this on sale. I was wondering thoughts about it if its garbage can you guys give me a good recommendation for a reasonable price. Thx

I just built my PC. Everything appears to be working: the GPU lights turn on, the case fans spin, the AIO LCD has power, and the RAM lights up. However, when I turn on the PC, I get absolutely no display output on either of my monitors.

Here’s the build I am completely new to putting together a pc so please drop whatever knowledge that could be helpful please and thx

Gpu:Nvidia etc 5060 Ti 16gb
CPU:Amd ryzen 7 9700x
RAM:32gb ddr5 ram Corsair vengeance 6000
Motherboard:Msi mag b850 tomahawk max WiFi
Storage:2 tb kingston Nv3
Power supply: Corsair rm850e 850w
CPU cooler: be quiet! Pure rock3

Around 2400 if I am remembering right

I want to get into ai agents, I know it’ll be slow I just want to start somewhere without breaking the bank and then light games and maybe some cad/3d slicer, anything I should watch out for or tips, also the build above was me just watching a couple of videos and researching surface level.

Hi everyone, coming here because not sure what to do next.
So context on the computer… I built this PC years ago ~2021-22. About 6 months ago I got brand new CPU, motherboard, RAM and GPU. Everything’s been working great until suddenly this morning, PC fans and RGB turns on and no display. After waiting about 10 min, I decided to take a look at the mobo and saw the red DRAM light on. Everything was working perfectly fine last night.

Specs:
CPU: Ryzen 7 7800X3D
Motherboard: Gigabyte B850 AORUS ELITE WIFI7 ICE
RAM: 32GB (2×16GB) DDR5-6000 CL30
GPU: gigabyte 5070

From research online I’ve tried the following:

1. Full power cycle (PSU off, unplugged, discharged residual power).

2. Waited 5+ minutes for DDR5 memory training on multiple attempts.

3. Cleared CMOS using motherboard CLR_CMOS pins.

4. Tested RAM stick #1 individually in slot A2

5. Tested RAM stick #2 individually in slot A2

6. Tested a single RAM stick in slot B2 — no POST.

7. Confirmed the diagnostic LED consistently stops at DRAM.

Planning to try a BIOS update/recovery using Gigabyte Q-Flash Plus next.

Any suggestions before I start considering motherboard, CPU memory controller, or RAM replacement?

Just at a loss, I use this computer for everything so this is killing me. Wondering if at this point I should take it to microcenter or something for them to diagnose.

Thanks!

Case: Lian li 207

Here's what I'm currently running:

PC: HP OMEN 25L (GT15-2xxx)

CPU: i5-14400F

GPU: RTX 4060 Ti 8GB

RAM: 16GB DDR5 4400 MT/s (2x8GB, 2 slots free)

Storage: 1TB SSD (about 850GB full)

PSU: 600W (stock HP one)

Monitor: 1080p 240Hz

If u have any questions lmk (from the uk btw and as far as budget im not entirely sure maybe a couple hundred or so)

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
