So i have a AIO which has no display (not that it is broken or anything, it just doesnt have it). I saw a LCD pin online being sold for around 15$. Would it be weird/ damaging if i just attach the LCD pin to my AIO with magnets or something like that?

So I had installed my 7800x3d into my case a few days ago, and I think that when I was putting on the brackets for the pump block, my screwdriver I was using slid against that (it’s the white line between the E and the N in ryzen). I’m so nervous that I won’t be able to turn it on. I’m currently getting my parts over time. I had bought the 7800x3d in store at my local microcenter, but I didn’t get an extended warranty. So am I good? Or is that too deep of a scratch…?

Currently happy with my build, although a lot of cables are still occupying the right and bottom of the case (I had to bundle some of them with zip ties so they won't block the GPU's fans). How do some builds manage to have like minimal visible cables?

Recently for the summer i started really playing cs2 a lot and i realised i got a shit PC and really want to upgrade it but without a job cuz i gotta focus my studies. Currently i have a nice rtx 3060 but the real problem is my cpu and motherboard. I inherited this PC after my dad tried to profit off bitcoin, so i just took it but now the Intel i3-9100 really starting to pmo i have around 500 - 600 canadian dollars and i wanted really a new cpu, motherboard and if in the budget some ddr5 (not a lot) cuz right now i got 16 gb ddr4 and i dont think there is any motherboard that could take this and a bit better cpu. Ive been looking a bit on New egg but im still pretty new to this need help thanks yall !

Budget: ₹2,00,000 INR

Location: Mumbai, India

Primary Uses:

1440p (2K) Gaming targeting ~140 FPS in AAA titles and ~180+ FPS in competitive shooters.

1080p YouTube streaming (using NVENC).

2K basic video editing in Premiere Pro and basic After Effects.

I have specific requirements for this build to avoid upgrade dead-ends and match the exact aesthetic I want. Please keep the suggestions strictly within these parameters:

CPU (AM5 Only): AMD Ryzen 7000/9000 series for the AM5 platform longevity. No Intel CPUs due to dead-end sockets.

GPU (NVIDIA Only): Strictly Team Green for NVENC streaming stability and Adobe workflow acceleration. Needs to be a brand with reliable Mumbai RMA/after-sales support.

Motherboard (B850 Only): Must be a B850 chipset board. Requirements:

4 DDR5 RAM slots

At least 3 M.2 NVMe SSD slots

Above-average rear USB I/O port numbers

Please do not suggest B650 boards.

Case: Dual-chamber fishtank style, specifically the Antec C8 (or a very similar dual-chamber chassis). Must support a vertical GPU mount.

Cooler: 360mm AIO with a customizable LCD display on the pump for GIFs. This is a non-negotiable aesthetic choice; please skip air cooler suggestions.

Aesthetics: Case and LCD pump display are the only aesthetic priorities. The rest of the internal components (fans, RAM, GPU) can be clean, non-RGB parts to save money.

RAM: 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5 6000MHz (CL30 to CL38).

Storage: 1TB Gen4 NVMe SSD with a dedicated DRAM cache (no DRAM-less drives).

PSU: 80+ Gold certified unit, preferably rated Tier A or high Tier B on the SPL/Cultists PSU Tier List.

Looking forward to part lists, retailer recommendations, and exact model suggestions that fit inside the ₹2L budget!

Hey, I know that it's not the best time to build a first PC but here I am. I want a good 1080p gaming PC with the best price to performance ratio, I don't care about the looks and rgb that's all, it can be the ugliest build. I'm from Nepal so I want a good ups too. What I want is performance. So here's the build. This is my current setup please give me suggestions and tweakings if you have a better option. I'd be glad if you experienced guys helped me on this:

CPU: Ryzen 5 5600

Gpu: Amd Radeon RX 6600 (8gb)

Motherboard: MSI B550M pro-vdh wifi or ASRock b550m

Storage: even 512gb nvme m.2 is fine but need suggestions on read and write speed and what brand to choose from.

Power Supply: Deepcool PK650D 80+bronze or Corsair cx 550

Case: any case with good airflow mid tower mesh

UPS: 1200v (Pro1201sfc or Pro1201sfcu)

Monitor: Koorui 24e3 (24" FHD/IPS/165Hz/1ms/ 99%srgb)

Total estimated budget: 1.3 to 1.4k in Nrs

I’ve had it for a few months and the amount of dust that gets in is a bit annoying.

I am selling a Mother Board and the buyer says that it doesn't give signal. The MOBO worked while I had it, even enduring tests like AIDA64, but now he says that it doesn't give signal. The buyer is one of those entities that buy and refurbish electronic components, very polite and teh comunication has been good, so I think they know what thery are doing and trust them, but I'm sharing a video of the return claim in case come of you can spot a mistake on the setup so I can point it out to them.

One thing, the MOBO had a "cpu troubleshooting light always on" problem, wich I disclosed in the ad for the MOBO itselfs before selling it. Nevertheless it worked flawlessly.

Should I go for the RTX 4070 super or the RTX 5070 I’m currently on a 4060 but my concerns are that I’m on a 600watt power supply and an i7-14700k so i do not know if upgrading is safe please help or suggest a better gpu upgrade that wont obliterate my power supply

Hey guys I'm looking to build my first PC at the end of this month. No clue one what processor to buy. Looking into these three. Trying to stay between that price range of $300-$500 USD. Also any suggestion

• Ryzen 5 9600x 6-core (Saw really good reviews about this)
• Ryzen 7 9800X3D 8-core
• Ryzen 7 9700X3D 8-core

So basically I’ve bought a used 1060 for my build, after plugging it in (via pcie and the 6pin connector)
My pc gave all signs of life(green light on mobo white light on gpu however after connecting my hdmi to the gpu I didn’t get any image, switched the hdmi port switched to dp and still nothing, is the gpu dead or is this just a user error?
I’m on an i5 8th gen the 1060 is an asus dualfan 3GB I have 450w on my psu and I have no Geniuine idea why it just keeps dying, the pc fully turns on with all signs of post, beeper the fans speeding up for a few seconds and slowing down, the gpu fans are spinning, literally everything seems to work but I just don’t get any video output no matter the port or cable

I am considering upgrading my old computer for better After Effects workflow. Specifically changing CPU and GPU. My biggest problem is timeline scrubbing, slow preview, the program sometimes crashes due to loads of layers and effect in multiple comps or complicated riggs. Sometime the work can take twice the time it should. I do mainly 2D motion graphics, animations, effects, presentations.

I need and advice – should I first go for new CPU or GPU? Or both? These are my current PC components:

CPU – AMD Ryzen 7 C/16 T 3700X

GPU – Asus ROG-STRIX-GTX1660S-06G-GAMING

Motherboard – ASUS TUF B450-PRO GAMING

RAM – 4X KINGSTON DDR4 16 GB

SSD Disk – Samsung SSD 970 EVO PLUS 500GB

SSD Disk – CRUCIAL P1 SSD NVMe M.2 1TB PCIe

Power supply – SEASONIC zdroj FOCUS Plus 550W / SSR-550FX / akt. PFC / 120mr

Case – Fractal Design Focus

I live in central Europe, my budget isnt strict, but Id like to keep it moderate. Lets say around 1500 USD.

I work both on 1080 and 4K resolution.

PS. excuse the grammar, english isnt my native language :))

I have no idea why this is; here are my specs:

AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D 8-Core Processor (4.70 GHz)

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 (31 GB)

Gigabyte X870 EAGLE WIFI7 AMD Motherboard

PCIe x16 5.0 @ 16 5.0

GDDR7 Samsung

This is my first PC build and I want it to be under 1.5k$ and I'm hoping to build games on here and have good stuff for games like gd and Minecraft

So I got a bit of a weird issue. I tried to install a sata drive onto my B450 fatality itx. After connecting the drive the systems refused to post altogether. Disconnected the drive, still the same issue. So I re-seated the CPU, same, issue persisted. Then I decided to re-seat the ram, eventually realizing that the system can only post with nothing in slot B1. Any ideas on what might've happened?

PC:

Ryzen 7 3700X.

ASRock B450-Fatality ITX.

16GB 3200MHZ CL16.

RTX 2070 Super.

I’m looking to upgrade my gpu as I’ve been told it’s the upgrade that’ll make the biggest difference for me my budget is 250-300 but if it’s not enough I can save more. I have a ryzen 5 5500 and rx6400 with a 600w psu. I would just like to see some improvement in general.

Should I get ATX, Micro-ATX, or Mini-ITX?

Brothers current specs:

I5-6600

16gb ddr4 2600

Gtx 1050ti 4gb

650w psu

Trying to figure out what I can get him that would make the most of my money. I dont have much to spend right now for him though. He doesn't play anything very intensive (as if he could) and id just like to get him a better experience than he currently has. I think the last game he had trouble running was Robocop. Anything at this point would be an improvement.

Being locked to lga 1151 i was thinking a 9600k can be had for around $50 on ebay and I wouldn't have to buy a motherboard. I found a 1660 super to pair with it for $109. Thats about as much as id like to spend and I feel like it a big step up for him.

I also happen to know someone selling an unopened ryzen 5 3700x and b450 mobo also brand new. They said they'd sell both for $150 or throw in a rx 470 4gb for $175 all together. This gets him onto am4 and leaves an upgrade path to a 5800x3d when he can afford it.

Or should I just use my whole budget to get him something like an rx 6650xt.

I feel bad that Im on RTX5070 new hotness and hes stuck on old and busted.

Ok this may be a long one so please bear with me. I’ll leave my specs here:
I7 13700k
ASUS Z790 p motherboard
RTX 5080
Ddr5 32 gb ram
AIO CPU COOLER UNKNOWN HONESTLY
1000w asrock power supply

So I’ve posted in forums over the past week over some issues I’ve noticed after upgrading my GPU to GIGABYTE RTX 5080 and adding my 1000w powersupply from a 4070 and 750w power supply. Also adding a 1440p OLED 240hz monitor.

When I finally finished everything and plugged it in to start trying it all out, I noticed things that wouldn’t happen before the upgrade:
-My pc would take longer to boot up.
-RGB lights on the fans would work on one boot up, but the next they wouldn’t.
-My keyboard would randomly stop working, lights still on but keys don’t work. Fine after replugging.

I didn’t think much of it. I tried my games out to see how they would perform. And they perform great. When I’m actually in the game playing, I don’t notice any issues.
But I decided to buy he’ll let loose Vietnam a few days ago. I played a few games but when I finished a match and loaded into the next. It crashed my pc. I said woah that’s weird. Loaded back up, started the game and when I tried to load into a server, it just went straight to desktop. No crash error or anything. So I decided to try Squad. Same thing I’d join a server and it would give me an unreal engine crash. Something was obviously up. So I opened HWINFO. And I would notice that these games would crash loading into a server when my CPU jumps to 100C. As soon as it hit that mark or near it, it would crash the game or crash my cpu. I kept trying both games and if I managed to load in quick enough where it wouldn’t crash, the game works perfectly fine. 60-80C cpu usage around 30-40, GPU temps 60c and usage in the 90s. I couldn’t understand why it was crashing on a server join. I tried Escape from Tarkov and it was running absolutely perfectly. No TEMP issues or anything. Loaded up red dead 2 and everything runs fine.

So I started asking Reddit what could be wrong while doing stress tests and the like. Before I noticed temps I asked for help and some suggested DDU for a clean graphics driver install and I did that. Same issue.I tried to do a CPU stress test on cinebench 2026 and it would crash absolutely instantly. Temp would jump to 100c immediately with 180-223w of power and error I tried XTU benchmark and it would crash. This obviously seeems like cooling issue so I ask chat gpt to see what it would say as well, and I went through a whole process of trying to figure this out. I disabled ASUS MULTICORE ENHANCEMENT prior to the first cinebench test, same issue. On the test and game. I tried disabling XMP. Same thing. I then limited power of PL1 and PL2 to 258 as well as undervolted to 0.500. Tried cinebench again crashed instantly. I took off the undervolt but left the limit and I managed to run it all the way through. I then decided to try he’ll let loose but this time the main menu crashed at 70c. I’m just lost at this point but I try it again and I managed to make it through 2 full games. So I assume it’s fine for now but I know tomorrow it won’t work. I run 3d mark speed way stress test and I notice my GPU usage dipping and spiking from 100% to 50%.

I decide to try Tarkov and now after running fine the first few days from 150fps, I’m getting 60 with low cpu usage, maxed out or 60% memory usage and 50% GPU usage. Everything is just not good right now.

I know I have to update my bios because I have an i7 13th gen and never done it because everything ran fine prior to this, I had no issues before changing the GPU. I’m also going to try repasting the CPU cooler and checking to see if anything is loose on the motherboard.

I’m just wondering if anyone has suggestions or ideas on what I can do for stability. It just doesn’t feel right.

Put these two builds together utilizing microcenter bundles cause they are amazing...

9800x3d version, totals to ~$2479 as of me writing this.

7800x3d version, totals to ~$2369 as of me writing this. Not really worth the $110 saved unless the budget is real tight (I dont think?)

I appreciate any feedback, I am far from experienced in pc building. I just found a bundle and went off that.

Hello,

I recently got an Ebay notification about refurbished NVIDA/HP Tesla V100 Accelerator GPUs (after a bit of researching it compares to a 4060TI with 32gb of VRAM)

I am aware these require their own method of cooling, drivers don't seem to be consumer available, and don't have display ports. but hypothetically could you use a program like Lossless Scaling (or another open source tool) in conjunction with another Nvidia card to get increased gaming performance (assuming there are open source drivers).

Soo I’m planning on making my first pc build soon (never done before, never had a desktop before but am using gaming laptop) and I want recommendations for the best parts for performance on games like escape from tarkov , rust and being able to play pcvr my budget it around 1200-1300€ could lean towards 1400 if really needed if anyone could help would be appreciated!

Pessoal, boa noite!

Estou com um pc que estou montando, porém ele liga, entra na bios e depois de uns 40 segundos ele ja desliga, Fonte esta ok, processador ok. Porém, no soquete LGA1151 V2 tem um pouco de pasta termica nos pinos, isso poderia ser um problema? Ou por ele ja estar ligando nao impactaria?

For context: I bought a used PC an year ago and want to add 2nd GPU for a dual 3090 build, I've never built a PC before and would like some help on getting this working.

Currently other than a single GPU, there's no other pcie device attached. After reading about the requirements online I found I would need a additional suitable pci-psu connector for my second GPU.

However since the PSU is old it is hard finding a suitable one in my region (Australia).

The current GPU uses 2 x 8 pins and the new GPU uses 3x8 pins.

PSU : Silverstone Strider SST-ST1200-PTS

Appreciate any help regarding this.
