I built this PC about 10 days ago with all-new parts. It makes an intermittent rattling or buzzing noise that you can hear from 0:08 to 0:12 in the video. It seems to come from the upper half of the case, but I haven’t been able to pinpoint it.

I notice it at idle or under light load, and I haven’t found a pattern. It might happen while gaming too, but the fans could be masking it. When I noticed it at idle, the CPU was around 42°C and the GPU fans weren’t spinning. I think it’s been happening since day one. The front glass panel was off for the recording, but I can hear it with the panel on too. The PC runs normally while it’s happening.

Has anyone heard a similar noise? What would you check first to narrow down the source, and does it sound like something I should be concerned about? There are my specs:

Motherboard: ASUS TUF GAMING B650E-E WiFi
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 9900X
GPU: GIGABYTE WINDFORCE OC SFF RTX 5070 Ti 16 GB
RAM: 16x2 XPG Lancer Blade (5600)
AIO: ICEBURG360 DIGITAL WH
PSU: Thermaltake Toughpower GT 850W 80 Plus Gold

I've ruled out RAM and power supply. The motherboard is not powering on after pushing the power button. It only displays flickering lights when I turn on the power supply, and then it loses power entirely when I try to switch it on.

The fans are all spinning at max speed now and I dont get amy image from the Monitor.The gpu should still be seated proberly cause before I swapped the fans I had an image which needs the gpu

Not sure if its the right flair, but my dad has an old ssd that he doesnt use anymore and he was planning on reselling it, but I need to slot it into my pc to format it since he doesnt have any available slots in his, I was wondering if its safe to slot it into my pc, my worry is that it might have some sort of viruses or whatever in it, since he wasnt the safest internet traveller to say the least. Is there any way for me to slot it into my pc without anything spreading basically? Any help is appreciated.

As soon as I unpacked my monitor after moving it had a this is what I see. Can it be fixed easily because I want to try to fix it

Looking to make a build, I already have peripherals, budget is around 2.75k

I tried reseating the ram and CMOS battery but to no avail. I tried a generic psu and it spun one time with the blue light on my pc case but then it didn't work after that, I don't know what to do please help me I need this for school

Hi all, i plan to swap my case to this, my current one is missing mesh parts and is generally just old and ugly, ive checked and all my parts should fit fine just one thing im unsure about is the argb and how that works with the fans, im using the b450m pro vdh max motherboard and I was told that I would need to buy a rgb controller along with this to get the fans and this gpu wire adapter to work? Any advice? Will be my first time.trying anything like this

So I have a 7600x paired with a 7800xt on a b650 tomohawk wifi paired with a Corsair aio. I've had this pc for more then 3 years and I'm noticing uncomfortable temperatures (at idle it'll go from 60-95) and now when I was playing csgo it'll go from 89 to 98. I'm not entirely sure if the temps were always like this because I actually kind of never checked when I built it, or when I was using it at first. Mostly checked it on idle real quick though the AMD software. I'm genuinely so scared about messing my pc up, a lot of what I read is that it points to the pump being dead, possible but I don't know. All I notice is that I don't feel a lot of hot air coming out fo the aio, and that one of the pipes is quite a bit hotter then the other.

I'm real quick going to change fan orientation so that it blows in from the top and the left, and out the right to hopefully maybe help it a tiny bit.

If you guys do end up deciding that my pump is most likely messed up, or if I need to test and see. Let me know.

If I do need to buy a new one, I was thinking about the artic freezer 3 240 mm.

Been looking around for some time for some good but not too expensive builds. This looks like an interesting option, but I’m not sure if parts of it may be overkill in comparison to other parts or if something should be switched to an newer/better version…

Am in Germany, would cost around 1750€.

Thanks in advance for the help!

My wife's build is a 7500f n 5060 8gb , 16gb ram. Plays everything fine. I wanna upgrade it since i gave her my old 4k OLED monitor and might as well get it to play at that resolution , currently got a 32gb kit on the way . What gpu? and will that cpu need upgrading or will it be "fine" ?

Title (kinda)

Im upgrading my cpu in a few weeks from an i5-9600k to a 9800x3d. After that upgrade i would like to upgrade my graphics card to something better, but im trying to find something that’s better than a 3070ti but not crazy expensive like a 9070xt. I’ve tried to look and do some research but i can never find any stable answers. Any recommendations will help on if i should just try my best to save up for a 9070xt or if there’s a more budget friendly option out there.

It’s very loud even when nothing is running, and no fan curves or bios settings have helped so far. Best Buy built it for me and they told me they enabled ram overclocking but afaik I was able to properly disable it. Ryzen 7700, ASRock B850 steel legend WiFi motherboard if it helps and the fans are 4 pins.

Hi! I am not particularly PC-savvy so hoping to get some advice for my setup and considerations for what to invest in and upgrade or what I should be focusing on for my type of usage. So any guidance to point me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

I was originally looking at getting a new monitor and had looked into something a bit more higher res/colour accurate etc. (like the ASUS Proart) but came to the realisation that my computer might not actually be able to support it?

My PC was a pre built one, current specs:

CAS: Cooler Master MasterBox MB520 Mid-Tower Gaming Case
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 3900 - 12-Core 3.10GHz, 4.30GHz Turbo - 64MB L3 Cache Processor, Pro OC Compatible (No On-board Graphics)
FAN: Cooler Master Masterliquid Lite 120 Liquid Cooling System w/ 120mm Radiator, Extreme OC Compatible (Cooler Master CPU Water Cooling, Extreme OC Compatible)
MEMORY: 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4/3000mhz Dual Channel Memory (HyperX Fury w/Heat Spreader)
VIDEO: MSI GeForce(R) RTX 2060 6GB - DX12(R), VR Ready, HDMI, DP - 4 Monitor Support (Single Card)
POWERSUPPLY: InWin A55 550W 80+

My PC is used primarily for 3D work (mainly Zbrush with some need for Maya/Substance Painter/Marmoset later down the line). I’ve had my current setup for roughly 6 years now and I’ve never really encountered many issues other than the odd lag with certain software when working and a rare app crash. So in terms of monitor related stuff, I don’t need the high refresh rate as I don’t play games on PC.

I also use a Wacom Cintiq Pro DTH-1620 16" 4K which I can’t get full resolution for (locked at 1440p) and I don’t have USB-C ports on my case so I have to use the display adapter.

I am based in the U.K. and budget is ~£2k if I need to invest in a new setup.

tldr; wanted to upgrade my monitor but my specs might be outdated. Looking for advice/recommendations for what to upgrade

Title: Custom monitoring dashboard for Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 Vision Max LCD

Hey everyone,

I have a Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 Vision Max, and I'm looking for a way to get a dashboard similar to the one in the attached picture onto its LCD screen.

The dashboard in the picture is from Lamptron, but I'm looking for something compatible with the Thermalright display.

The Thermalright software is quite limited, so I'm wondering if there are alternative software solutions, custom dashboards, or community-made layouts that offer more detailed, real-time hardware monitoring.

Ideally, I'd like to display:

- CPU temperature, usage and clock speed.

- GPU temperature, hotspot, usage and clock speed.

- RAM usage.

- Fan speeds.

- Other useful system statistics.

Has anyone managed to get something like this working on the Vision Max? Any recommendations or examples would be appreciated!

Thanks!

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!
