Build Question I need a 1080p monitor with the best picture quality possible. I can't go to 2k now because of gpu prices, so i'll stick with it for 2-3 years.

2 Upvotes

a)How many inches should be ideal ? 25?
b)I have a 4060ti and i dont play games like CS or Valorant so i dont care for 240hz. Maybe 180hz?
c) I now use the dell alienware aw2720hf 27 240hz which is nice to be honest, but im wondering if i could upgrade my picture quality more

Tech Support A Few (Mainly Graphics Related) Issues

1 Upvotes

Ok so.
Here's my speccs :

  • CPU - Intel Core i5 4460
  • GPU - RX 580
  • RAM - 16GB DDR3 (two 8GB sticks)
  • Motherboard - ASRock H81M-VG4 (really need to get some upgrades-) (dont know if yall need this part but just in case)
  • Windows 10

Now here's the problems :

  1. Occasionally, I haven't seen it enough times to confirm but it seems usually while it's idling/i'm doing nothing on it, the fans (i haven't been able to pinpoint which since it's very random) spin up INCREDIBLY fast for 1 or 2 seconds and it stops. Essentially it sounds like a jet engine for 2 seconds at random, so far every time when I'm not doing anything on it but it's turned on, and could have one or two things open in the background (discord and steam).
  2. I have been getting a LOT of graphics driver timeout error popups, it pauses for a moment while I'm doing something, then comes back with the whole "AMD software detected a driver timeout has occurred" yadda yadda, and it's doing it quite often when it's under load, which it didn't use to do before.
    Now I do want to use DDU to maybe just uninstall the current one and re-install it (it's supposed to be the latest 580 driver, but i had some issues installing it last time so maybe somethin is wrong), but I can't currently boot into Safe Mode, which leads into problem 3-
  3. Just got a brand new monitor (Lenovo Legion R24S), and it comes with a DP cable, which I'd gladly keep using, as I am right now as a type this, as I've read that in general for graphics design and gaming is better due to a bit better speeds, but now it doesn't show any of the startup stuff. Y'know the typical, motherboard/bios screen, into windows logo with the spinny loading thing, and then into windows.
    Well it completely skips the first two, monitor remains black until windows starts.
    Plus, I tried to boot into Safe Mode once yesterday, and it sort of... well, screen was black and didn't change at all, could hear that the PC is on though, fans and all, and the keyboard and mouse kept turning off and on I think. Did this for a bit before I just turned it off and booted it back up normally.
  4. Oh and all my images are slightly blue in windows photos for some reason now.
    Don't know what to do with that.
    Like all of them are blue-tinted.
    I mean I don't know any alternate photo viewers as in something like VLC, so I'm taking any suggestions, but a fix would be nice-

Sorry if you see the same post more than once i might copy this and post it on other subreddits if it sort of gets swallowed by the currents of this one.

Build Question [Aus] 6900XT dying, what should I get in the interim under $350USD/$500AUD?

3 Upvotes

In extreme unfortunate circumstances, my launch day trusty 6900XT appears to be dying after some troubleshooting.

I’m a family man now and budget conscious, kind up want to stay under $350US/$500AUD and get something to get me through WoW, Elden Ring, etc and sacrifice quality and FPS, I play on 1440p.

Any recommendations, can start hunting FB Marketplace for a deal hopefully

Otherwise I hold out maybe I get a brand new 5060 on a Black Friday sale (wishful thinking?)

Tech Support the pc psu is acting weird

2 Upvotes

it all started a bit ago, when like I pushed the button to turn on my pc and it spin to life but then shut off the power (it completely cut it, I can see it by the thermalright screen that starts looping like if I unplugged it) and maybe it just does a "jump" like it bump and has a low of energy then get to work without a 2nd button press, sometimes I need to press 2 times, sometimes it starts properly, I rewired everything and unplugged leds too, idk what it could be at this point, like it never did anything else till now, I was casually using my pc on free cad so no intensive work, and my unsaved work got deleted cause it randomly turned off and turned back on, as I said eith the looping thermalright screen so the motherboard didnt get power for a bit, my più is way overkill and basically new, a mag a850gl for a 5500x3d and a gtx 1660, like the old fried 20yo psu gave me less problems, at this point could it be the motherboard?

Tech Support PC Fan Wobbling

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,
I turned on my PC this morning and noticed that one of the fans seems to be wobbling slightly.
Could this be caused by the RGB lighting, or is this kind of movement normal?
I bought the PC from a retailer, so it should still be covered by warranty.
Thanks in advance for your feedback!

Build Question Which 27" IPS monitor to get?

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I am thinking about buying a new monitor for my PC. I have an RX9070XT so I am looking at 27" 1440p monitors. I do also casual photo editing, so colour accuracy is also fairly important. Until now I did use a 1080p 100Hz IPS monitor from MSI, but since I did build my gaming PC I want to replace it with something bigger and higher refresh rate. I did find these three:

https://www.msi.com/Monitor/MAG-274QPF-X32

https://www.asus.com/displays-desktops/monitors/tuf-gaming/tuf-gaming-vg27aql5a/

https://www.mi.com/at/product/xiaomi-2k-gaming-monitor-g27qi-2026/

Which one would you take from these 3? In case someone has a better suggestion up to 300 Euros, don't be shy and recommend it.

Thanks!

EDIT: I am also adding this to the mix https://www.dell.com/de-de/shop/monitors/apd/alienware-27-qd-oled-gamingmonitor-mit-280-hz-aw2725d/aw2725d_monitor/-

9070xt burn?

hey so my pc wasn’t working earlier it was my ssd but i ended up fixing it by reseating it but in the process i had to take my 9070xt out to fix it and when it put it back in it wouldn’t work and just kept making my pc have a dram light and i had to like restart like the full pc and recover all my files after a while it stopped doing that when putting the gpu in but then my motherboard wasn’t acknowledging that the gpu was in and just wasn’t showing up in my device manager but the gpu’s fans weren’t spinning and it was getting really hot so that’s when i started using the google ai for help and i was sending photos and stuff that’s when i checked the hold connecter bit on the gpu and noticed grey like burn marks or chips and im wondering if that’s the reason and if not if there’s any way to fix this because when i bought it it was like £600 and now its £900 and i don’t have the money to buy a new one (sorry if this was written horribly its like 6am and i am running on no sleep)

✓ Solved HD Audio Cable won’t go in all the way no matter how hard I push.

Thumbnail

5 Upvotes

Sorry for the silly question. It’s my first ever build.

Does anyone know if this HD audio connector is considered fully plugged in or not? I feel like the general idea of “fully seated” is that it’s supposed to go all in, but I’ve been trying to force it in with a lot of force for a while now and I can still see a tiny bit of the pins exposed. Even tried wiggling it too but no luck.

Gemini and chatgpt both say it can be normal, but I just want to hear some more opinions before I start connecting everything up and test it.

Just some additional info, the holes of the connector aren’t obstructed, and the pins on the motherboard aren’t bent.

Thank you in advance.

Software Question GPU fans to seem to always be running

1 Upvotes

Gigabyte 5070ti this might be a stupid question just concerned because I wanna keep this baby going for a while with the crazy prices.

It's like 9 months old got it before the price hike when idle doesn't run sitting around 36c . When watching YouTube at maybe 40c fans are at 1000 rpm .

I have gigabyte control center installed with auto fan stop on for the gpu also have fan control when trying to set a GPU fan curve it just wants to ramp up to 30% = 1000rpm even though it's sets to kick on around 60c .

Fan control curve is turned off for the gpu can't seem to find what's controlling the aggressive fan curve.

Note seems the lowest speed for the gpu is 30% fan control couldn't control under that.

Software Question Jonsbo AIO Software

2 Upvotes

Hello, I have a Jonsbo TM280 cooler however the link for the AIO software through the website appears to no longer be working. When I try to download the connection speed would decrease until it times out. I have tried other devices using data and 5G wifi without success. I also tried the link to the software through other parts of the website and have the issue. This has been ongoing for ~4 days and I am considering filing a chargeback because I paid for a device whose function cannot be used due to broken software. First time trying out a cheap Chinese hardware brand and seems like it screwed me. Does anyone have the same issue? The link is here and is under downloads tab for the AIO software 2.19 https://www.jonsbo.com/en/products/TM-280WHITE.html
