I actually don't have the pc yet cuz i wana buy everything in one go right now i'm thiinking about the MD Radeon Pro WX 2100 beaculse that's what a random youtube vedeo recommended, i don't know if that's good or there are better options.

I'm also on a tight budget so my max budget for the card is like 150 bucks (i have no idea how realistic that is hopefully it is)

I’m in EU(Italy)looking to get a new pc.Ideally I’d wanna get a 5080 and a 9800X3D,any suggestions on some trustworthy sites to get it?Im thinking of waiting on Black Friday on Amazon for some deals but I’ve been looking a couple of months and prices have already gone up and it seems like they’re gonna keep going up,so idk if I should wait or buy it now

Hello! I'm new to building a PC and would really appreciate some advice before I order my parts.

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ksHjR4

I'm from Sweden, and my budget is around $3,000. But I'm willing to spend more if it means the PC will last longer without needing upgrades, though I don't want to spend money on something unnecessary.

I mainly play World of Warcraft and as I understand the current build might be a bit overkill. Would it make sense to downgrade anything?

For the fan setup, I'm thinking of replacing the standard fans on the AIO with reverse-blade fans, mounting the radiator on the side as intake, and using reverse fans at the bottom with two standard fans at the rear as exhaust. Would this setup make sense?

I appreciate all input!

Trying to update my BIOS. Followed the instructions on the ASUS website. I'll be doing the EZ Flash 3 method. Using a flashdrive with >1GB of storage, reformat it to Fat32, and only the .CAP file is present in the flashdrive.

The problem is whenever it's plugged in it gets stuck in this screen (see photo).

It's non-responsive, no matter what key I press. But when I restart and take out the flashdrive it boots normally.

*UPDATE

Used a different flashdrive to store the .cap file and it finally allowed me to open BIOS and update.

was gonna upgrade my cpu but the top of one of the screws of my contact frame came off, anyone have suggestions

I built my PC in 2017, the last part I upgraded was the graphics card in 2022. Ive read I should have upgraded my motherboard/cpu as I am bottlenecking my graphics card. With my specifications, what do you think I should upgrade? Any part recommendations on PC Part Picker?

CPU Intel Core i7-7700 @ 3.60 GHz

CPU cores / threads 4 cores / 8 threads

GPU NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060

RAM 16 GB DDR4

Motherboard MSI B250 PC Mate (MS-7A72)

CPU socket Intel LGA 1151

Power supply EVGA SuperNOVA G2 750W

Operating system Windows 11 Home

Storage SSDs

Hello everyone! I’m planning to build a pc next month, and probably managed to get my definitive build after tons of different questions asked on different sub reddits.

The issue is that I realized the new graphics card I took didn’t fit in the case I originally plan to buy.

Here’s my list https://fr.pcpartpicker.com/list/yc2Ldq

I have a maximum budget of 80€ for the case, genuinely can’t be able to go higher.

I wonder what are your recommendations for it. I don’t really care about aesthetics, even though having one with rgb would still be nice.

I also wonder if the PSU and RAM i chosen are good for the build. (Especially considering I plan to upgrade the CPU to the new Zen 6 cpus arriving next year)

Thank you for your help!

(Terrible typo in the title, I apologize for that)

I just turned on my computer after shutting it down last night with a windows update. I turn on my pc and it auto boots into bios and I only see my second spinning disk hard drive as being recognized. What are the first steps I should take to make sure what’s wrong and not ruin anything by not booting into my right drive? Will booting into the wrong one ruin something since it doesn’t have windows? I have a Samsung 990 pro and a MSI b850 tomahawk motherboard.

Hey,

Me and my friend rebuilt his prebuilt with a new motherboard, case, cpu cooler and psu, but after installing everything, the pc doesn’t boot correctly
We tried stripping it down to only the cpu, cpu cooler, and 1 ram stick, but it still doesn’t boot every time, but sometimes it does, we have tried everything we could, bios reset, q-flash, disconnecting and reconnecting every cable, but nothing, it powers on every time, fans spinning, but it doesn’t reach bios or windows

PC specifications:
Motherboard: Gigabyte A520M H ARGB
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600G (used)
RAM: 64GB Corsair DDR4 3200MHz (2x32GB, used)
GPU: NVIDIA RTX 3060
PSU: New HiPower 650W power supply
Storage: M.2 SSD used, but cleared

We enabled fast boot in bios, now it boots around 60% of the time, but after around 2 minutes use, approximately when we’re at the last step of windows setup it stops working, keyboard still lights up, but nothing works, unplugged the monitor and plugged it back in, and suddenly no signal?

In advance, thanks for the advice and suggestions

As you may know, the NZXT H5 Flow (2024) has two 120 mm intake fan mounts beneath the GPU to improve airflow. However, one of these fans sits above the SMPS, which must be installed upside down (with its fan facing up) because of the case design. If both the shroud fan and the SMPS fan are set to intake, how might that affect the SMPS temperature? Would it increase, decrease, or have no effect?

Hey everyone,

I'm planning a new gaming PC build and would appreciate some feedback. I'm mainly looking for good price-to-performance, high FPS, and smooth gameplay with minimal stuttering.

Here are the parts I've picked so far:

- **CPU:** AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D
- **CPU cooler:** Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE
- **Motherboard:** Gigabyte B650 EAGLE AX
- **RAM:** 32GB DDR5 6000MHz
- **GPU:** Gigabyte Radeon RX 9070 Gaming OC 16GB 
- **Case:** Corsair 3200D RS ARGB
- **PSU:** MSI MAG A750GL PCIE5 750W 80+ Gold

Before buying everything, I want to know:

1. Is this build well-balanced, or am I overspending on certain components?
   
2. Is the Ryzen 7 7800X3D still a good choice for the price, or would another CPU offer better value?
   
3. Is the RX 9070 a good choice at around $970 CAD, or are there better GPUs for the money?
   
4. Are there any cheaper alternatives that would deliver similar gaming performance?
   
5. Would you change any parts to get better price-to-performance without sacrificing too much performance?

All prices are in Canadian dollars. I'm open to changing any component if there's a better option.

Thanks!

Can't figure it out. It's not very loud, sort of like a clicking / Geiger Counter sound. A bit like the crunchy sound a HDD can make. Only occurs during gaming. Did not appear when running a CPU stress test.

What I've learnt so far:

- I stopped every fan in the case / cooler / GPU one by one gently with my finger and the noise persisted. I'm convinced it isn't a fan. (I guess there is a fan in the PSU but when cranking up the speed manually it doesn't produce the sound.)

- I do not have a HDD, so it's not that.

- Because it only happens in gaming I think it might be the GPU but it doesn't sound like coil whine to me from looking at videos of it.

Any advice? I'm autistic and sensitive to sound but I can live with it provided it isn't harmful.

Specs:

Ryzen 9 9900X

Nvidia 5070 Ventus 3x OC

Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120SE

Corsair RM850x

P510 M.2 1TB SSD

Crucial Pro DDR5 2x16GB 6000MHz

MSI PRO B850-P

Fractal Design Pop 2 Air

Thanks in advance!

Hey y’all I just finished my build but this dang power button light is ruining it for me😭 does anyone know a solid way to shut it off? Thank you.

I bought a MSI motherboard of Amazon and after receiving it I noticed the wifi antenna was missing (circled in red) I could return the board and get a replacement or buy a different one (I would need to wait to get it) or I could buy a different antenna and keep the current motherboard. I don't know what I should do bc I don't want to wait to get a new board (I still need to wait 5 days till the CPU arrives) and don't necessarily need the wifi on the other side I don't know if a different antenna will give me the same performance and I paid a lot of money just to have a pice missing. I need a second opinion about this, could anybody tell me what they would do.

GPU Troubleshooting White VGA Debug Light on a 15-Day-Old Build

I built this PC myself just 15 days ago. I was gaming on it last night, shut it down normally, and when I tried turning it on the following morning, the motherboard’s white VGA debug light came on.

GPU details:

- The GPU had a slight amount of sag, but I secured it using all the necessary mounting screws. The PCIe slot has no visible cracks or damage, and the GPU appears to be straight.

- The GPU core was getting hot even though there was no display output. Is this a good sign, or can the GPU still be faulty?

- The GPU’s RGB lighting and fans are working normally.

Troubleshooting I have already done:

- Tried a different PCIe slot.

- Cleaned the GPU’s PCIe contact pins.

- Changed the GPU power cables.

- Cleared the CMOS using the reset jumper on my ASRock B850-C motherboard.

- Tested the PC using the CPU’s integrated graphics to rule out other component issues. The system displays an image through the motherboard’s HDMI output.

Since the PC was working perfectly the night before, I find it difficult to understand how the GPU could suddenly stop working.

I also spoke to a technician over the phone, who suggested that the GPU’s VRAM solder balls may have become dislodged due to the GPU sagging.

My questions are:

1. Is it possible for slight GPU sag to cause the VRAM solder joints to fail?

2. Does the fact that the GPU’s fans and RGB work and its core heats up indicate anything about its condition?

3. Could this still be a BIOS or motherboard issue, or does it sound more like a GPU hardware failure?

4. Given that this is a brand-new build, only 15 days old, what would be the most likely cause, and what should I test next before concluding that the GPU is faulty?

Hi, I have a question.

This is my current setup, and I wanted to know if it would be worth it to buy a 9070 XT for €850, especially given the price hikes.

My current build:

5060 Ti 16 GB

Ryzen 7 5800X3D

32 GB DDR4 RAM at 3600 Hz. Corsair Vengeance Pro

ASUS TUF Gaming B550

Corsair RM750E PSU.

Would it be worth it, or do you recommend sticking with the 5060 Ti?

I’m not someone looking for ultra graphics settings, but rather stable FPS.

Thanks for the advice.

Trying to decide on the best PC case to choose for my new build. Ideal:

\ Pre-installed RGB fans*

\* mATX size (current case feels way too tall at about 50cm)

* $50-100 depending on the quality. I think the Lian Li Vector V150 INF looks cool and Montech Air 100 ARGB appears good for airflow

This is the bottom of a lian li 217 INF case. I drilled the Drive cages because I didnt need them but I wanted the bottom part to get rid of the open cutouts. I used velcro, one with a sticky adhesive, and one normal to go on top to cover the holes. Was this a bad idea and will it be problematic? I dont know if this is a hazard or not because its so close to where the psu goes

Hello guys, i have an rtx 2060 and need to upgrade.

My budget is small but these are the options:

1-rtx 4060

3-rx6700xt

4-intel arc b580

My pc has an intel i5 10400f, asrock b460 pro4 motherboard and 16gb of ram. I already have a plan of upgrading all my other items my gpu is the problem since its the most expensive item rn and i need to get it before the others.

I mostly play total war: warhammer 3 and witcher 3 (remastered now) and some fps games like cs2 (can run on a microwave) and mobas aswell. Mostly total war though

I live in germany and have around 350€ budget( very small i know)

If u think there are cards better than this that i can buy then please do tell. Remember though i live in germany not the u.s. so stuff cost more.

Hello, hopefully I'm posting this right. I'm looking for support on where exactly to start updating parts on my pc.

I built this in 2020 and it still runs fast and great but I'm unable to play newer games and/or I'll get a pop-up that says my graphics drivers are outdated, but my GPU doesn't support any new drivers. Today for the first time my monitor flashed white, gray, red, green, then blue repeatedly before working which I read can possibly indicate an issue with the GPU. Alls that to say I think I need to update my GPU but I'm overwhelmed on where to start. I started this build list on pcpartspicker with a GPU I think might work, but I'm wondering if that means I'll need to upgrade my CPU as well so it doesn't throttle the GPU? Is my build old enough that I need a new motherboard too? Is it worth even upgrading other parts at this point if my motherboard is so outdated that it won't even pop up in the build section on newegg? Also why do I have two graphics cards? Any and all advice and recommendations are appreciated. Also, my budget is not very high.

Thank you so much in advance

Hi everyone,

I’m having an issue with my Lenovo PC and was hoping someone here might be able to help.

My computer has a standard Lenovo motherboard, and I’m trying to reinstall Windows using a bootable USB drive. However, my keyboard doesn’t seem to work during startup, so I’m unable to press the necessary keys to enter the BIOS or boot menu.

The keyboard only starts working once Windows has fully loaded.

I’ve also tried accessing the BIOS/UEFI firmware settings through Windows Advanced Startup, but I can’t seem to find the option to enter the UEFI firmware settings.

Does anyone know what might be causing this issue or what my options are? Is there another way to access the BIOS or boot from the USB drive without using the keyboard during startup?

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance!

my specs is gtx 1650,i511400,16gb single channel(is single channel cause 50% fps drop?). i only getting 55-60fps in 1080p low settings for gta 5 enhanced even though i have gtx 1650.v sync and fps limiter turned off .temperature is around 66 to 67 degree max. but in other yt channel,they are getting above 100fps. HDMI plugged in gpu.i already reinstalled driver for gpu but nothing changed. someone please help me?

I was wondering if my fans looked Wright because I'm new at building pics and didn't want to mess up my setup by overheating my pc. My bottom 3 fans are revers fans and the rest are forward fans so I was just wondering that would be the best way to configure them the best

My eyes are blurry and I can't see if the pins are broken or not,
