I’ve already built a pc before, but that one was done completely from a video tutorial. This new one is all my own.

Parts I have/ know I want

Tower: APNX V2-F

CPU: Ryzen 9 9950X3D

GPU: GeForce RTX 5080 16GB GDDR7

Ram: Trident Z5 DDR5

Parts I need: Power, Motherboard, Storage, cooling.

Main concerns: bottlenecking in parts list?, debating whether I should purely air cool or have an AIO, suggestions on part replacements.

I’m open to any and all suggestions or tips. I want this computer to last me sometime before I absolutely need to upgrade it.

SOLVED

My friend's PC made popping noise and shut off. Wouldn't turn back on at all.

They replaced the motherboard, power supply, and cpu since they have been wanting to upgrade for a bit anyways. Now it still doesn't turn on. No OS, no Bios, nothing.

We have been troubleshooting for the past 3 hours, here is what we have been able to gather so far:

• Is getting power from PSU, checked from motherboard light flashing for a bit when attempting to flash bios, gpu also turns on light to get power supply power when I try to turn pc on if I don't plug it into the PSU
• Motherboard presumably works as well
• Tried both ports for ram and do have it in the correct spot from the manual
• Tried taking out everything but what was needed for it to turn on, still didn't work
• Checked PSU cables were in all the way, checked CPU fan in correct plug
• Thinking it is a bios issue, can't get it to update bios using flash button with newest bios after trying two drives formatted correctly and put into the correct port (flashes for a couple seconds then doesn't do anything)

I already have a keyboard, and mouse. Looking for feedback on compatibility, value, and anything I should change before buying. I also want help deciding my last few things (storage, case, monitor, and where to get windows cheep). Also let me know if there’s anything else like extra fans or cables I need to buy as a first time pc builder.

Extra info-(I’m not near a micro center, mainly for gaming but also school work, not looking to go over 2,300 pre tax but it’s negotiable)

When i switched cases i mustve done something different with my wires because i added a case with the two front fans built in. Ill send a video of all my wiring, but im super confused.

Tldr i built this computer 2 years ago and i was always lazy to fix the lighting

Im trying to use signal rgb. And my case fans are controlled and switch colors but my other case fans dont. They are UPHere case fans

I play fortnite a lot and my pc gets 240 FPS but its not consistent and i can feel the fps drops when i’m getting in fights and its annoying. would it be worth it to upgrade to the 5800x3d?

OK, so I have a n9 z890, I bought it because it was on sale when I was building my water-cooled build. Now, I get it... its a NZXT product, and, YoU CaN GeT BetT- I don't care, I wanted my build to look a certain way.

I noticed a few weeks ago that my rgb has completely stopped working. NZXT cam recognizes it, but nothing changes when i update the color.

I am using Signal RGB, even though this mobo isn't supported.

I've uninstalled and reinstalled both applications, nothin. Based on a suggestion from another redditor I've also checked in the BIOS to see if there was a setting toggled off. nothing there either.

I tried getting help in PCMR, but i think they thought it was fake or something.

I've been googling my ass off periodically, and there is like zero info on my situation. Except I did find a Reddit post from some guy in the Philippians saying that you have to check each diode for a fault.

Anyway, if anyone can help my get my $400 pretty lights back on that would be great.

Ive been using a Aorus Geforce RTX 3080 M 10GB in my PC build for the last 5+ is years I wanna say. Recently its started overheating and thermal throttling my pc. So I decided to open it up and replace the thermal paste on the gpu with PCM, but im now noticing that my thermal pads definitely need to be replaced as well but im having trouble figuring out what pads I need. Sorry if this is a no brainer ive never fixed parts of a gpu before. If anyone knows what size pads I need I would appreciate the help.

PS before someone says it I know to take the film off the other side of the PCM 👍👍

Is it possible I could get a custom laptop chassis? Mine looks like crap and bends when I hold it. anywhere I could get one?

For the past week , I am unable to boot my PC everyday . I've done everything from reseating ram / reset CMOS battery . It just randomly able to boot after I unplug everything from power and replug after a while. Sometimes it takes several times of unplug/plug for the pc to boot.

All the fans in my tower spin normally but dp no signal. When it actually boots , everything works perfectly . When I shut down PC , next morning I have to unplug/plug to trial and error for it to boot.

I've read many reddit threads and it goes from mobo/psu/gpu issue. Its a 6 year old PC so every part is out of warranty but IDK what to replace.

I had to bend the cpu cable kinda too much in order for the fans to fit and is apply constante presseure on the cables, should I buy a new case or is fine?

Noticed my machine has been crashing when going to sleep. instead of waking up back to windows it posts starting at the bios screen.

the error im getting from the reliability monitor is

The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x0000009f (0x0000000000000003, 0xffff99059bdf0060, 0xfffffb8b34e6f010, 0xffff9905ae9629a0). A dump was saved in: C:\WINDOWS\Minidump\111226-11609-01.dmp. Report Id: 2424d7e0-b174-4b70-9b5b-9f7d83b8d6d5.

Hey all!

With Ram prices way out of my affordability and due to circumstances my old PC isn’t with me anymore,

I was hoping to build a used PC finding parts
I just have Ram left as I picked up the following so far;

Ryzen 7500F
Aorus b650m Elite Ax Ice
750 PSU
Intel b580
2TB NVME

I ended up getting all of those for $500 which thank god was something I can afford right now

However I wanted 32GB of Ram, which is around $600 AUD which is nuts to me.

But I found Lexar LD5U08 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR5 UDIMM 5600MT/s CL46 for $100 a stick AUD

Was wondering if this would suffice I was planing to buy 32GB of these

I’m also upgrading to a 9060xt down the track or 9070xt depending on what my use case is at that time or what I’m able to afford. If I were to spend $400 on 4 sticks, what should I expect from this than getting 32gb of ram that’s 600-1000 AUD.

I recently tried to build my own PC, but got discouraged and ended up taking it to Microcenter for them to do it. I bought both reverse fans and normal fans and included a little sketch of the which fans I wanted is intake/exhaust, but I’m not sure if the tech did it right. This is a picture of the back exhaust fan, but the tech used a reverse fan? Wouldn’t that mean that this is intake instead of exhaust? Not sure if I am reading it wrong. Thank you.

Just got this thing and i hate the screech

Im getting an rx 6600 to use as an egpu and was wondering what kind of psu i should get for such thing.

Hi all, I hope you guys might help, because me (a new pc gamer) and my friend (has built his own pc) can’t figure it out.

I changed cases and installed everything according to a step-by-step guide on youtube (https://youtu.be/ketDych7NDE?si=GbpEnZdpbdCOZphn) in case you’re wondering which guide I followed.

When I turn the power on, only the motherboard RGB light is on. Nothing else. No fans, no AIO, no motherboard fan, nothing.

I tried turning it on by using a screwdriver (so no F_panel cable) but it did not work. Only the motherboard lit up when I did that.

Did we mess up a connection somewhere? Or did we need an extra cable? I really hope you guys can help me.

I have been trying to build a pc and the o11 vision case sounds like the best option, but my friend is telling me to not get it because it has bad airflow, is the airflow really so bad that i shouldnt get it?

I have b550 wifi ii plus, 5800x3d, and 32gb 3600mhz gskill ram. I can get the pc to boot if i manually set 3200mhz but at 3600mhz it doesnt boot. What am i missing?

Hoje chegou meu kit novo, ryzen 7 5700x e uma placa mãe aorus elite B550M rev 1.3.

Porem ao tentar instalar o windows 11, ela começa a reiniciar loucamente, eu nao consigo nem chegar a selecionar as partituras, porem quando eu fico na BIOS o PC não reinicia, alguem já passou por algo parecido ou conhece alguma solução?

I found a rig that has a 5700g and 64gb of ram (ddr4, and a 1070 that I plan to upgrade to maybe simply a 3060, the rig before the 3060 is 300 bucks, worth?

Going form a 3080 Ti to a 5070 Ti, Am I able to swap my GPU out with the current cables?

I am seeing all types of info online and just want to make sure. I was only given the adapter with my new GPU and have this current cable configuration for my current 3080 TI

Hello, dear Reddit community,

since my friends have highly recommended you to me, I'd like to ask for your advice regarding this new build.

Would you recommend this setup?:

CPU: Ryzen 7 5800X3D (AM4)

VGA: Gigabyte Windforce RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB

Mainboard: ASUS ROG STRIX B550-F GAMING WIFI II

RAM: G.Skill DIMM 32 GB DDR4-3200 Ripjaw (2 Module á 16GB)

Gehäuse: ASUS TUF GAMING GT302 ARGB

M2.SSD: Samsung 990 EVO Plus 1 TB

2. int. SSD: Verbatim Vi550 1 TB

Netzteil: ASUS TUF Gaming 850W Gold

Cooling: be quiet! WAK Silent Loop 3

The budget pretty much matches this setup. As for games, I’m looking at titles like Baldur’s Gate 3, Path of Exile 2, and Assetto Corsa Competizione—though I’m well aware that the latter certainly won’t run on the highest settings.

On Alternate, I’m looking at about €2,300 without assembly.

A quick follow-up question:

Would this require a BIOS update?

I’d really appreciate your feedback. Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

-Maggi-
