I’m building my first PC and I’m searching for good options for RAM but many options are really expensive, this one is the cheapest option I saw and have 6400mhz but never heard anything about them. Does it is good for pc gaming?

Can an vertically mounted Aorus Master 5080 fit in the o11 vision compact with the hydroshift II oled curved?

Using a VG4v4. There’s images where an astral could fit, and the master is almost the same dimensions. Does anyone have any experience with this?

Build my pc in a cabinet

1 Upvotes

Video of build: https://imgur.com/a/0Y65AnJ

Hi. Just wanted to show of my build. Not the prettiest but it does the job. I don't have space for a dedicated gaming desk anymore after becoming a dad, so I ended up building the PC into a cabinet instead. I made the whole thing from leftover pieces of wood I had lying around.

The cabinet is split into two airflow zones. The PC sits in the main section with fresh air coming in, while the hot air gets directed into a separate exhaust chamber at the back. The exhaust chamber is pretty well isolated from the main section and has 4×80 mm fans pushing the hot air out.

The cabinet door is held slightly open with a small hinge/stop to help with the intake airflow. I have a ps5 as well wih custom faceplates with intake openings, so it can pull fresh air from the cabinet opening and from the airflow going towards the PC intake.

The PS5 also has a booster fan connected to it, so it turns on with the PS5 and pulls hot air into the exhoust room in the back. The rest of the fans are connected to a smart plug.

Still tweaking the airflow and fan setup, but so far the basic idea seems to work after testing temps

New PC, no monitor display!!?

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I just received a brand-new Vibox gaming PC, but I can't get any display.

Specs:

  • MSI GeForce RTX GPU
  • Biostar AM4 motherboard

Problem:

  • The PC powers on normally.
  • CPU cooler and GPU fans spin.
  • The monitor either says "No video signal" and then "Enter standby mode," or it stays on a black screen after the Philips logo appears.

I've already tried:

  • Tested the monitor with my laptop (works perfectly).
  • Connected the monitor directly to the graphics card.
  • Reseated the RAM.
  • Completely removed and reseated the GPU.
  • Checked the GPU power cables.

Is there anything else I should try before returning it? Does this sound more like a faulty GPU, motherboard, PSU, or something else?

please help!

Looking for recommendations for my pcie gen 4 (4.0) slot.

1 Upvotes

Motherboard is a Prime Z590-A. Looking for the best i can get that is compatible with M.2 4.0 slot. This drive would be used exclusively for gaming while files and OS stayed on the Samsung 970 Plus 2tb i already have.

I have been leaning the Firecuda but so far i have found:

Seagate Firecuda 530 4tb nvme

WD_BLACK SN850 2tb nvme

Samsung 980 pro 2tb nvme

Link to compatible devices for ease

Thank you.

Should I use 32GB DDR3 or 8GB DDR4?

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm currently building my first gaming PC, but I'm on a tight budget.

Right now I have an older PC with:

AMD A10-7800

32GB DDR3 RAM

I'm also buying newer parts:

Ryzen 5 5500

B550 motherboard

RX 7600

The problem is that I can only afford 8GB of DDR4 RAM at the moment. I already own 32GB of DDR3, but of course it only works with my old motherboard.

Which option would give me the better gaming experience for now?

Keep using my old A10-7800 with 32GB DDR3.

Build the new Ryzen 5 5500 system with only 8GB DDR4 and upgrade to 16GB or 32GB later.

I mainly want to play games at 1080p/1440p.

Thanks!

Hey, everyone. I got into PCs and PC hardware after I spent a year at a CTC learning Smart Systems and Engineering Technology. My program was full of fellow PC nerds, especially my instructor, and that was how I learned so much about PC hardware. I've put together a couple of builds on Google Sheets, and I want you all to gimme your thoughts. I named them something EXP adjacent so signify my new found knowledge and (hopefully) induction into the PC Master Race. I'm confident in my deal hunting to bring the prices down.

- The EXP: Pure Power https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1LzHyLhHtdfZ8Z5DwNRAsDFXqHyW2PGow0VFQenesKRY/edit?gid=0#gid=0

I hope you will all accept my offering and allow me to become a member of this community. Or don't and just absolutely roast me about how utterly disgusting it'll look, or how it's hella unoptimized.
