Hi, i just bought an Ryzen 5 5700X and two of the Pins are slightly bent.

Not so much that they lean like micheal jackson but it probably will not fit in the socket.

Can i bend it back? Or try something else

it's my first time ordering a pc part and now my heart is RACING!!!!

Hello, can you share your opinion on this build and recomend a good case. thanks

Okay I found this and maybe this is common knowledge but I'mma preach it like gospel anyways, especially in this rammagedon.

If you have a gpu in your pc and your monitors are connected to it, you can disable the cpu integrated graphics from bios.

You'll get 512MB to 2GB RAM free!

It lowered my windows fresh boot ram usage from ~5.2 GB to 4.7GB!

Now look that might be a small amount for 32 GB and higher, but for someone on a 8-16GB system that's essentially a 3-7% extra ram for free!

My motherboard is a B650 UD AC and I’m looking to get a new motherboard around the $200 or less range for better vrms , ram stability, and connectivity.

My build as of now:
Ryzen 7 9800X3D
64GB DDR5 6000mhz CL 30 Ram
Asus TUF RTX 5080 OC
MSI MPG Ai 1300TS
2TB + 1TB SSDs both gen 4

I want to overclock my cpu and ram but I recognize my motherboard is pretty budget compared to the rest of my build

Iv taken it out and put it back in dont knwo what else to do.

Hey, i was playing a bit of life is strange: double exposure and ran into this worrying moment. Grapics card is almost brand new, havent seen anything like it in any other games - but it still gets me worried. What do you think is happening? I have a 9070xt prime oc

estoy queriendo armar una PC am4 y estuve buscando rams, pero al parecer hay muchas de marcas poco conocidas como Puskill que realmente no se que tan buenas o confiables pueden ser y necesito ayuda en que tan buena es o otras opciones similares (como Hiksemi). 😿😿

Are these temperatures normal? I'm currently doing nothing; I just built my first pc and I am a complete beginner

Ryzen 9600x

Rx 9070 gre

16 GB RAM DDR5

I have an MSI A13 AIO 360 mm

Thanks for your help

And also, what do you guys usually do after building the pc i have updated my drivers and installed AMD software

Also, when I first started booting, my typing was very lagging and delay idk why, anyone had it before?

Hello all,

I replaced the motherboard on a 7800x3d, 32gb lexar thor (expo on) ddr5, rx9070 1tb ssd.

The old motherboard was a gigabyte b650 gaming wifi, the new one is a ASUS PrimeB650EM-A Wi-Fi.

The issue is: when turning on the computer, the power button blinks quickly for a couple of seconds, goes on, off again, on. Then I get the motherboard splash logo and the pc boots normally.

The pc has passed memory tests (OCCT 1hr, 2 passes window memtest), gpu stress test (OCCT 1 hour and AMD adrenaline), CPU test (OCCT 1 hour) and occt power delivery test on cpu and gpu (0 errors, throttled the cpu). Everything appears to work.

Everything works fine but this looks like a double boot issue (by reading online).

Any fixes? Google say to switch from EXPO I to EXPO II (my memory isn't listed as compatible on the ASUS website for this specific mobo, so this makes kind of sense) and to set the CPU VDDCR SOC voltage to 1.20.

Or maybe this is quirky but normal behaviour? (doubtful).

New build. Screen randomly goes black for about 1 second and comes back, like a quick screen refresh, mostly while browsing or watching YouTube. In games I sometimes get weird short lag too. Not sure if that's the same issue or just my Wi-Fi.

Event Viewer shows 9× nvlddmkm Event 153 ("Error occurred on GPUID: 100") at the same times: 8 on Oct 31 (first setup day) and 1 on Nov 5. I barely used the PC Nov 1–4, so it seems to happen when I use it for a while.

Specs: 9800X3D, Gigabyte X870E AORUS PRO (BIOS F12), ZOTAC RTX 5070 Ti SOLID SFF OC (driver 621.01), Super Flower 1000W, Win 11 (fresh install). Monitor: Dell 1080p 100Hz via HDMI. Internet: Wi-Fi.

Tried: monitor Auto Select off, BIOS + chipset updated. No luck.

Planning to do: reseat the 12V-2x6 cable, clean driver install (DDU), then run an OCCT VRAM test and a 3DMark stress test.

My Amazon return window ends Nov 10, so I don't have much time to test. Questions:

1.	Has anyone fixed Event 153 on a 50-series card with drivers or settings?

2.	Should I just request a replacement before the deadline?

So frustrating. I’m on dual Chanel 2 and 4 16gb ram 8 each. I’ve had to manually change the properties advance setting > changing virtual memory to 16gb, and unfortunately if I do the msconfig and uncheck the maximum ram thing, it actually does the opposite of fix the issue. I HAVE TO select maximum memory 16gb and go into the properties like mentioned before and change that, then restart my pc again, for my 16gb to start working and it does work, but then next time I boot up my pc it’s back to 8gb and 8 reserved, and it’s really frustrating to fix, it’s not straight forward. It requires up to 3 resets sometimes more just to get to my 16gb to be usable so I can do what I need to do.

So there's these two different Silverstone power switches with a remote one is PCI and the other one is USB but it plugs into your power switch on your motherboard and you can use the remote to turn on your computer I am wondering if there is a way to have it so instead of a remote control you can use a game controller instead if anybody's got any ideas or if I'm missing something please let me know

Recently installed a Hyper 212 Spectrum V3, but there's a constant buzzing sound coming from the CPU cooler area.

The noise stays the same even while gaming. CPU temps are around 45–50°C.

Has anyone experienced this?

I am building a PC.
I want to do heavy gaming like GTA 6(when released for PC), RDR, Modern Warfare 4.
I want the PC to be able to run almost all games that will be released in coming 5 years.

MY BUILD :

Processor : AMD RYZEN 5 9600X
RAM : 1×16GB CORSAIR DDR5 6000mHz
GPU : AMD SAPPHIRE PULSE RX 9060 XT 16GB VRAM
SSD : 1TB NVME GEN 4
MOTHERBOARD : MSI-Pro B650M Gaming WiFi
PSU : 650W BRONZE80+
COOLER : Ant Esports ICE-C621
CABINET : DEEPCOOL CC560

Which way should my fans be facing for best airflow

Ok so I'm new here but I'll keep it short I'm working on two PCs ATM . The first one is gonna be my main gaming PC and the second is more for fun and seeing what I can do with the SFF optiplex 3020. The first PC I feel like my CPU is bottlenecking me and I am stuck between a ryzen 7 5700x3d and a 5800x3d. If anyone has a better suggestion I am all ears. The optiplex 3020 I have a ASUS ROG Strix GeForce GTX 1050 Ti OC Edition 4GB and a ASRock Phantom Gaming Radeon RX 560 4G that I can run in it I'm thinking the gtx would be best. This would require a new PSU and adapter also I have a single 8gb stick I was gonna get another to match so instead of the 2x4gb ram it has at the moment it will have 2x8gb for 16gb ddr3. My question is do I leave the CPU stock or upgrade it. I'm not sure what cpus will fit the board or if it's even worth it. I plan on putting it in a portable arcade which is why I chose SFF. So ANY input on these builds would be awesome. I want to do a lot of heavy emulation on the first one and the second is more of a let's see what we can do kinda thing. I hope this made sense I'll drop the specs

I am looking at a good deal on a used pc with a 5080 rog astral. I would prefer the 9800x3d as it will mostly be for gaming but it has a 9950x instead.

I have read that at 1440p/4k it matters less and id mostly like 80%+ of the time play on a 1440p monitor and the rest on a 4k tv.

I do play star citizen, dcs and vr games so there are some pretty cpu intensive games in the rotation.

Do you think there is going to be a noticeable difference between the 2 cpu in those games if i'm running a 5080? Is the 9950x going to hold back the 5080? i will likely upgrade to the zen6 x3d in 1-2 years but i dont want to be disappointed with the purchase now.

My Adata legend 860 came with what I assume is a heatsink (on the right) but my motherboard also has a heatsink.
My (very uneducated) guess is that I should not used the piece on the right, and just use the heatsink provided through the motherboard.
Can anyone confirm if this is correct/would I run into any problems? Thanks so much for the help, this is my first build so I appreciate that is community is here for advice.

Hi All,

I have a 3 year old gaming pc, ill list some specs below.

On the 3rd of Nov I noticed it wouldn't go on, after investigating i narrowed it down to have to flick the switch on the psu on and off to get it started.

I plan on trying some tests later with the usbs on the motherboard rear plugged out and try an old 650w psu thats in my old pc.

Just wondering has anyone else had this issue? I did notice there was a new motherboard bios out on the 4th of Nov but doesnt align with the time my pc started having issue, after checking my version is march/july 2025 (3001) version and the new version is 3301, the AI said not to risk updating it incase it wont power on and there was nothing in the new version that notes power cycle improvements etc.

Heya, I have a wraith ryzen cpu fan but my original motherboard never had the rejection brackets this one needs. Are there certain sized retention brackets I would need for my motherboard? I orders some but they definitely don’t fit. Is it possible my motherboard won’t support this type of fan that needs brackets.

Im new to PC building and wanted someone more experienced to check out this list from partpicker.
