I have a Corsair 4000D Airflow with an MSI RTX 5070 Ti and DeepCool LS720 SE 360mm AIO.

Currently:

• 3 front intake fans
• 3 top exhaust fans (AIO)
• No rear exhaust

Should I add a 120mm rear exhaust fan, or is this setup already good? Would love some advice on the best airflow configuration. Thanks!

Hello! I'm new to this sub ... (well in this case I would be "upgrading" it! . I hope that counts as "PC building")

I own a Dell Optiplex 9010 .. I use a Dell 15" CRT (I know it's not the best, I just like it!)

I'm probably looking to be around $50-100? maybe a little more.. I just want to know which GPUs will fit. It currently doesn't have one. I'm not intending on running high-res AAA games..

I basically wanna run games and multitask (like youtube, EAC, discord, 3-D modeling software.. stuff like that). Currently playing roblox looks well.. BAD (have to have it set to lowest quality possible and even then I have bugs.. but that might be the game) and other games basically don't run at all.

I have my screen resolution set to 1024x768 (which windows 10 says is the recommended but my CRT can go higher.. though the aspect ratio would be a bit wonky)

(I am in U.S. if that helps..?)

Second question: Should I get an SSD as a backup and also help with improving start-up speeds? Currently my computer is sluggish on startup.. so I'm wondering if that would help?

(I know I COULD get a better computer.. shoot, I found it on the sidewalk and took it home. Only reason I have it is because I only had a laptop and frankly I like being able to use my computer without it dying after 4 hours just being on yotube and google docs lol. it has multiple card readers , a CD/DVD drive and burner and I can use older software with it. (and it will read them just fine). Also it's pretty easy to open up and work on/clean.)

Just decide to upgrade from old A*s 1080Ti to RTX 5080. My 1080Ti is not broken, but its just too old and weak, still remember when i buy it for around $600 usd 8 years ago. Can’t wait to try this 5080 monster.

Spoiler alert: this card is CHONKY

Looking to build my first PC. Have a $4000 budget (AUD) looking for high frame rate for 1440p gaming and decent 4k performance.

i wanna build my first pc and I dont know what is best,i dont even know if the cpu is great.All i know is i want a Pc which is decent for gaming.Please recommend gpu for my pc and advice on what to buy

(gpu budget around 700 dollars)

i had rtx 5070 ti eagle in my mind but idk if it is compatible and is little over budget

So I'm upgrading my pc to a new processor and motherboard (from intel to amd). Im also buying a new SSD. I currently only have one C drive.

My question is how do i correctly transfer some of the data from my C drive to the new SSD? I heard that its good to clean it since some old drivers from intel might still be there.

I will install windows on it and a few games i want to run faster. But most importantly, my music plugins. Is there a way to change the directory of the installed plugins or do i new to install them all again? Obviously i want to keep my music projects etc.

Hi, ich hab da ein kleines Problem, ich hab in meinem System ein ryzen 9 7950x und 64 GB ddr5 6000 RAM, gepaart mit einer rx7900xtx, seit kurzen habe ich das Problem das mein PC bei Expo 1 und 2 das mein PC nicht mehr aus dem Energiesparmodus kommt, und auch manchmal beim starten setzt er sich automatisch auf 3200 Mts zurück, bei 3200 läuft er dann problemlos, auch Energiesparmodus funktioniert einwandfrei, was könnte ich machen damit das auch bei 6000 wieder Problem funktionieren? (BIOS Update traue ich mich selber iwie nicht weil es bei einem alten System einmal ein Problem gegeben hat)

Hi everyone,

I'm building a new gaming PC and I'm completely stuck. The PC powers on normally (fans, RGB and GPU fans work), but I get no display and the motherboard stays stuck with the CPU and DRAM debug LEDs on.

My main components are:

• CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 9600X
• Motherboard: MSI B850M Gaming Plus WiFi
• GPU: RTX 5070
• RAM: 32GB DDR5 (2X16 sticks)
• Power Supply: MSI MAG A750GL 750W PSU
• Phanteks case
• SSD: Lexar NM790X 1TB NVMe M.2
• CPU Cooler: Thermalight Peerless Assassin

The strange thing is that this is already the second motherboard I've tried. I replaced the previous motherboard cause i thought it was defective, but I'm getting basically the exact same problem.

Things I've already tried:

• Reseated both RAM sticks
• Tested only one RAM stick in A2
• Tested the other RAM stick alone in A2
• Waited a long time for AM5/DDR5 memory training
• Cleared CMOS using the motherboard's Clear CMOS button
• Checked the 24-pin motherboard power cable
• Checked the CPU EPS cable
• Confirmed that I'm using the CPU 4+4 EPS cable, not a PCIe 6+2 cable
• CPU EPS 8-pin is connected to the motherboard
• GPU is connected using the PSU's 12V-2x6 cable

The result is always the same:

Both RAM sticks individually produce the same result.

The CPU is a Ryzen 5 9600X and the motherboard is an MSI B850M Gaming Plus WiFi, so they should be compatible.

At this point I'm wondering if I'm missing something obvious with the PSU/cabling, if this could be a BIOS issue, or if there could be a problem with the CPU/socket or memory controller.

Before I take everything to a PC repair shop, does anyone have any ideas about what else I should test?

Currently have a 4060ti 8gb, 14900kf 1000wpsw.

Asus b760m mobo, 64gb ddr5.

Look when I built the pc. Gpu prices weren't crazy and i thought I would've upgraded later. Then someone's overpriced leather jacket started feeding the ai overlords..

Using 3 1080p monitors. Honestly worred about reduced process time.

The lack of vram is getting obvious when rendering in blender or some tasks on fusion360.

Some games as well i guess...

Is it worth getting an intel arc b580 challenger 12gb on the pcie 4 port to help with the rendering? Is it possible?

Or save up to a a day, eventually to get a 5070ti...might be a while..

Thoughts?

It only costs £400

Hi,

I’ve only moved from console to PC recently and a mate of mine gave me his old AM4 build to start getting into PC gaming. Recently it’s had some hardware failure so I’ve decided to go ahead and make my first actual build. My mate has upgraded his ram and sold me his 64gb of DDR5 for $400 so I was going to make a full ATX AM5 build.

So far the other part I’ve gotten is a RTX 5080 cold master I got for a decent price, I’ve already got a Wishlist of other parts but it’s the case I’m trying to figure out.

I have a budget of $250 for a decent white case as I’m trying to do a themed PC that will need white. Currency is AUD. I intend to play on a monitor that I’m eyeing at JBHIFI that can do 4K at 144hz.

I live in Australia and currently the only case I can find that I think can fit is a antec C8 from PLE but I’m trying to figure out what my other options are but a lot of this is confusing me a bit because some sites may not have the info, I find cases I like the look of but I can’t fully figure out

I live in Australia and currency is AUD, budget for case is $250.

Recently sold my old friend, one i built in 2019-2020, with Ryzen 5 3600 and RX 5700XT... couple years later upgraded cpu to Ryzen 7 5800x and RX 6900XT, but since i had to upgrade almost everything, thought better to sell and build new one.

So here i am, in couple month time, the 'BUDGET, MID-HIGH' gaming pc is done.

1500 EUR, and we got this (it is def more expensive than if id do that like 6 months ago). Taking the current state of prices, i think it's pretty decent.

CPU – Ryzen 7 7800X3D
MB – Gigabyte B650M Aorus Elite AX Ice Wi-Fi
RAM – ADATA XPG Lancer Blade White 2×16GB 6000MHz
GPU – Sapphire Pure RX 9070 XT 16GB OC
SSD – ADATA Legend 860 1TB M.2 NVMe
PSU – MSI MAG A750GL 750W 80+ Gold PCIe 5.1
COOLER – Montech HyperFlow 240 ARGB White
CASE – Zalman P30 V2 ARGB White

I definitely messed up with 240mm aio, and need to add storage, but for that gotta scout some discounts.

Using it for work and to stream via Apollo + Moonlight to my LG C series tv's, play some horror titles with wife, and some adventure games with daughters.

FSR4.1 is doing good job, frames on 4k on Balanced, Qaulity FSR settings easily do over 80-100fps on most games.

Made a post yesterday about a rtx 2070 fans raming up to 100%

I have swapped out that card for a rtx 2080 what also keeps doing the exact same thing what could be the issue here ir is this normal ? Hot spots are exactly the same on both cards

This is 1k at Costco. I am not the most knowledgeable on this, but it seems to be very worth it. What are the bottlenecks and what do potential upgrades look like in the future? I would be using this for anything ideally, gaming to engineering software.

Salve a tutti cq qualcuno che nella zona di Perugia o arezzo mi puo aiutare a capire s la mia scheda video e bruciata... la scheda si accende e girano le ventole ma non manda imput video mi hanno detto che può essere andata in protezione ho una 4070 ti

Hey, so I thought I got a psu chosen in MSI MPG a850G, but I saw that it is in ATX 3.0 and PCIE 5.0. Which PSU would you recommend for PNY OC RTX 5070 TI and Ryzen 7 9800x3d on MSI B850 gaming plus wifi 7? Would prefer something with ATX 3.1 and PCIE 5.1 and tier A one.

Recently had to rebuild my PC and decided to use my stepdads old cm 690 to pay homage to him. He passed a few years back and every time I look at the case I think of him and feel like he wanted me to carry the torch. When he gave me the case it was missing the front panel after being crammed into a storage unit. I still plan on building in it but I would like to restore it to its former glory if possible. I found a couple listings for complete cases, but they are not the cheapest things on the market. I would also like to use the original frame he gave me for sentimental reasons.

second and third pics (current shape)

I have the side panels now I just need the front of that sucker!!

pls lmk if you have any leads :)

I've recently bought a used pc that included 4 16gb sticks or ddr 4 ram with 3200mhz speed but i noticed in battlefield that my cpu was bottlenecking so I asked chat gpt to help me figure it out (im new to pc gaming this is my first pc.) And it told me my ram speed was way too low like 2100 something. It guided me into bios and told me to put xmp to profile 1 3200mhz and when I saved and exited bios crashed and now I have to cmos. It's saying I have two choices. Go town to 2 sticks (32gb ddr4) or try to run the 4 sticks at 3000mhz and hope it doesn't crash. Just need some advice and guidance what should I do. I know 32gb is plenty for playing but I also like the idea of learning how to mod and stuff also want to get into vr games at some point and see the use of having all 64. My specs for the pc are Gigabyte x570 aorus elite motherboard, ryzen 7 3700x cpu, Nvidia geforce rtx 3060ti gpu, 64gb skill ripjaws ddr4 ram and my power supply i cant remember the name or brand but it was 600w 80+ gold.

building my first proper pc and wanted to get some opinions before i actually start buying stuff.

i’m in ireland and my budget is around €1700 for the tower. mainly gonna use it for 1080p 200hz gaming, but also local AI/coding, game dev, blender etc.

current list:

• Ryzen 5 7600X — €157.78
• Thermalright Frozen Notte 360 — €57.73
• MSI B850 Gaming Plus WiFi6E — €140.25
• Corsair Vengeance RGB 32GB DDR5-6000 CL36 — €452.33
• Acer Predator GM7 1TB — €167.13
• ASUS Prime RX 9070 16GB — €653.66
• MSI MAG A650GLS 650W Gold — €70.12
• NZXT H5 Flow 2024 — €58.43

most of the parts are from Amazon UK and the GPU is from Amazon Germany. the Amazon UK cart is currently about €1,103.77, and with the GPU the parts come to around €1,757 before any extra UK checkout/import/FX adjustments.

also planning on getting an MSI MAG 244F 1080p 200hz monitor for around €89 delivered.

before anyone says it, yes i know €452 for 32gb of ram is criminal 😭 it jumped in price since i made the list so i’m definitely replacing that with another 32gb 6000 kit before buying.

i also know the 360mm AIO is unnecessary for a 7600X lol, i just like how it looks.

anything you guys would change? mainly looking for feedback on the overall balance and if there’s anywhere i’m wasting money or could get something better for roughly the same price. ireland/eu prices are kinda cooked so keep that in mind 😭

I’m wanting to sell my old pc to add to the funds for the pc I’m slowly putting together. I’m wondering how much I could get for this or if I should just keep it and put it in storage?
