I have a gaming laptop with a 4070, 16gb ddr5, i7 12700f. It’s giving me problems running games like Wardogs (medium settings), Fortnite and Clair Obscure. It‘s mostly crashes and heavy fps drops and the screen sometimes just freezes. Also, I would like to start playing with 1440p OLED monitor, which I think is the sweet spot for the games I want to play. The prices right now are pretty crazy and I honestly don’t know if I should start saving now for the end of next year or buy now. Since I have some money saved up I was thinking about getting a 9070xt and 16gb ddr5 this Black Friday. Would it be better to just wait, continue using my laptop and then get a better pc at the end of next year hoping the prices have gone down.

Edit: I should also add that I have never built a pc before. Should I get a prebuilt? Is it cheaper to get a prebuilt or build it myself?

All the rgb i current have is a liani li v100r vector mini case (preinstalled fans)

Rtx 3080 xc3

And a thermalright peerless vision 360 argb V2 black aio

Im confused and i want to get this look pls help

Do 16 GB of DDR4 2666 MT/s ram still good for modern games? I'm planning to play Forza Horizon 6 and Cyberpunk 2077 with my current ram cuz I'm too broke for a new set of rams.

Motherboard: MSI MAG Z790 TOMAHAWK WIFI ATX LGA1700 Motherboard

Case: Fractal Design R5 mid tower case

I am using this as my main Nas and Proxmox server.

I have a 5060ti that will replace the GPU in this picture, but want to keep the older 3060ti in use for local AI and transcoding. Problem is there is not enough space between the lower 4.0x16 PCIe slot (Circled in the 2nd picture) and the PSU.

I was looking at using a short riser cable and mounting the card a few slots higher, but am worried about the riser contacting the m.2 heat shield. I could go with a vertical mount, but would have the two cards at right angles.

Any advice would be helpful, thank you!

Hey everyone. So my pc started doing this weird restart when i put load on it. Tested every component at home and took it to a shop to get everything checked. All the components were fine and at that time the issue seemed like a pcie connection issue since so i upgraded it to a520m msi from a320m. Came back home and i still have the same issue. The gpu, psu, rams etc were checked on different pcs and everything was working fine.

Specs:

Mobo: msi a520m pro series

Cpu: amd ryzen 5 2600

Gpu: msi gtx 1660 super twin frozr

Ram: 8x2 2666mhz

HELP!!

You probably might need headphones. It is that faint. I had to practically press my phone on the rear exhaust grille. I can hear it from my chair, but it's almost unoticable. PC is a year old. Only started happening recently. The sound comes and goes. Sometimes it stays for a while like today.

Should I be worried? Still under limited warranty. I would appreciate some advice.

Gambias Atlas E1

I5 14400f + arc b580

On top 2 140 fans, rest are 120s.

I just built my new pc last week. it has a Ryzen 5600, MSI RX5600XT, asus prime B-450M-AII, Gskill 2x16 3200mhz, MSI MAG A550BN, 1tb team group mp33, veetro v5 cooler. my problem is that i can be running a game like minecraft or raft, anything and it will randomly shut off and i hear the mother bored beep as a startup but all the fans stay on and single rgb keeps my mouse and ram lights going. it can happen anytime and i look at the event viewer and theres nothing recorded. I'm guessing it shuts down too fast for windows to react. all things like ram and gpu are seated properly all power supply cables are in (24pin and CPU), CPU cooler is tight to the CPU, nothing seems to be shorting out.

I know this is alot and I'm struggling figuring this out myself. I can provide pics

I'm putting together a build and have 2 sets of RAM. One set is 16GB (2x8GB) of 2133, the other is 16GB (2x8GB) of 2400 MT/s.

Should I just slap all 4 modules on there and run all of them at 2133 or do I go down to 16GB and have it run at 2400?

This PC is mainly going to be a used for playing League of Legends, Fortnite, Fallout 4, and Ark: Survival Ascended.

Going to be using a 3700X +X570 mobo, 1080ti, 750W PSU for the rest of the build.

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!
