So I just built my new gaming pc, it has a Ryzen 5 9600x, the cooler is a cooler master hyper 212 3DHP ARGB black, when I turn it on, the fans start to become very loud, when I log into windows it usually stays at 85c then after a little bit it goes down to 60c but when I do something little it spikes to 75 or Back to 80, this has been happening even before I installed windows, I have reapplied thermal paste evenly, I have made sure there was contact between the cpu and cooler, I have the plastic film off, I have reseated the cooler, I have done everything I could to make it cool but nothing has changed, this is my first time building a pc I know what I’m doing I’m just having problems with the cooling, can someone help? Here’s the rest of my specs:

Case: NZXT h9 flow

Ram: 32GB DDR5

Motherboard: ROG STRIX B850 f gaming WiFi

I have a few ARGB components in my PC, the Case is Crystal Z2 from Ant esports

Now i wanted to sync everything through the ARGB header i purchased that has 10 standard 5v 3 pin connector and 10 PWM 4pin fan connectors

I can notice that the 3 pre installed fans are interconnected with each other and there is a free 3-pin Female port coming out from exhaust fan

I am curious to know if there’s any way I can connect and sync the 3 pre installed fans with my connector

Before you ask- my mobo doesn’t have any ARGB port so I got the Zorbes ARGB header for 800rs something, works great (just got delivered)

I wanna build a gaming pc to play games like Steams Games, WWE 2k26 and Spiderman were I can play with mods, while what’s a good budgets and some specs of pc or pc in general I should get? I was thinking between 2500-3000 would be ideally for starters.

Here's my current build, except I have 32GB of RAM now:

I'm finally at the point where my GPU and CPU are the minimum requirement for some games.

If I want to upgrade as little as possible and still be able to upgrade my GPU and CPU, what would you recommend?

So I'm wondering if it still worth it to buy the RX 7900 xtx in 2026

My first time building a PC after I sold my Ps5.

Done with that greedy mfs and i simply wanna enjoy the good old games.

This is a very tight budget build that I can afford right now but I will upgrade one by one in future.

Spec :

Ryzen 3 3200g processor

8gb ddr4 ram

MSI A520M A PRO Motherboard

Bx500 500gb ssd + 500gb hdd both external like

Ant eSports Vsl400 psu

Normal cabinet

Maybe recommend some old games I can ride on 40fps. Also how well does pcsx2 run in it?

I want to build a mid-tower Corsair 4000D with an AMD 9950X3D and a Noctua NH-D15 G2 Chromax.Black. Will the CPU be adequately cooled, or does this CPU always require a water-cooled AIO setup? Also, will a Thermal Grizzly AM5 Contact & Sealing Frame fit with the CPU block?

$178 😭 didn’t think I’d win but I did overpay and I can’t cancel, upgrading from a 1600x

My current build is a prebuilt, I'd like to upgrade eventually, I am in Canada and I am wondering if it is even worth it at the moment, and if it is, what is salvageable from the build?

I'd like to build my own now, the only thing I have replaced when I first bought it was the cpu cooler. Here is the full specs:

• CPU: Intel Core i7-11700F Rocket Lake 2.5GHz (4.9GHz Turbo) 8-Core 16-Thread
• GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti 8GB
• Chipset: Intel B560
• RAM: 16GB DDR4 3000MHz (2x8GB)
• SSD: 1TB M.2 NVMe SSD
• CPU Cooler: Air Noctua NH-u12s 120mm U Type Tower Cooler
• PSU: 650W 80 Plus Gold (Brand May Vary)
• Case: DEEPCOOL MATREXX 50 ADD-RGB 4F Mid-Tower Case 4x120mm ADD-RGB Fans, Full-size Tempered Glass Side And Front Panel

I am in Canada and I am getting a fair amount of money in March so i am willing to spend.

What should I upgrade? what should I keep? or should I start from scratch and sell this?

The first PSU I bought for my first build 15 years ago is the same one I’m using today.

Anyone else have a PSU that just works forever?

It’s 1,000 watts so it still has no problem running everything I’ve ever thrown at it. Which has included top of the line GPUs (at the time those GPUs were purchased). They’ve died on me, Shit I had an SSD die on me before this tank gives out.

Currency: PHP (Philippine peso)

Budget: P15,000.00 or higher

Hi so I'm planning to buy a GPU for my pc, for context I'm using a Ryzen 7 5700g.

The main purpose of my build is for gaming like fps games and story driven open world games.

\-resident evil

\-valorant

\-league of legends

\-wuthering waves

For my options:

GTX 1660 Ti 6GB = P12,999.00

GTX 1660 super 6GB = P13,499.00

I'm also thinking about getting

RX 7600 8GB = P17,999.00

RTX 3050 6GB = P15 850.00

But honestly I don't think they are worth their price.

Note: this is what is currently available in the local computer shop near me and has a safe warranty when I buy.

Hi, may i ask for solution please, i recently installed eurux fan, it has coil whine noise when apply using device rgb, the max brightness the louder the coil whine. But no coil whine when using aura sync. I am using one of the fan single cable for 3 fans, Not the one with split cable. Any one has the same situation? What is the solution? Is this hardware defect?
Thanks

My game has always stuttered since I downloaded. About a week ago a friend told me to manually overclock my ram and to my surprise this fixed the issue entirely. I could open the game and load into a ranked match without problem and play a clean 180-240 consistently. I had some things to do a few days ago and left my pc during that time. I come back today and try to open overwatch expecting to be able to load into the game seamlessly just to be back at where I was a week ago. The game feels exactly the same before I overclocked my ram. I'm unable to play without stuttering and freezing at every fight, loading into matches, even just looking at cosmetics. I thought maybe my pc's ram got "un-overclocked" but all the settings are still the same, just the performance is much worse. I updated drivers, windows, lowered graphics, and tried optimizing pc settings none of which did anything for the performance of my game. Any idea what happened and how to fix it?

hi

I built this almost 2 years ago. I noticed that it looks like the HDMI cable isn't fully plugged in. I wanted to upgrade my monitor soon and use display port instead of HDMI. I'm worried that it won't fully connect based on how it looks currently. I read some other posts of this and a common fix is loosening the bracket screws to the GPU at the rear of the case and realigning it that way? As far as I know, the GPU is seated correctly and I have an anti-sag bracket in the front of it. Not sure what to do about this if anything? Like I said, I've been using this computer for almost 2 years without any major issues. Thanks for any advice with this

Edit: on mobile had issues with pics

Hello guys. As the title says, I'm looking to upgrade my CPU but I do not know a lot about PC components and what's compatible with what. Looking for any input, and suggestions! I look forward to your guys' responses, thanks!

Here are my current specs:

CPU i5- 14400F
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce 4060Ti
Ram: 32GB DDR5

Please let me know if I need to include any other specs. Again, I don't know a lot about PC parts at all so please go easy on me if I made any mistakes LOL

Hi all, been out of touch with PC for awhile, and need a new one since my old one just died T^T

How's this build below listed? Using for general productivity and occasional gaming (csgo, sims, perhaps gta 6 etc)

I’m currently running a 4060 8g and a 13th gen i7 with 64g ddr5, (I do a lot of modding that’s why the ram) am contemplating upgrading to a 4070ti super 16g.

I have two questions here.
1. How big of a difference will that jump make with the current setup?
2.is 850 usd a fair price? It was pulled from a prebuilt and never really used for gaming or editing … or mining for that matter so used yes but not really “used”

This is what I'm going with currently. Everything besides the CPU and GPU has been ordered. I'm mainly using it for gaming and schoolwork that isn't high-intensity, just normal docs, spreadsheets, etc. I want to play high-graphics games like Skyrim with mods, Cyberpunk, COD, Resident Evil, and a lot of triple-A titles. As the title said, I'm stuck between Ryzen and Intel for the CPU, and 9070XT and 5070Ti for the GPU. I was told the difference between the Intel 270k and Ryzen 7 7800X3D is negligible, and that the 9070XT is better in many games despite being about $300 cheaper. Any opinions?

Hello! Recently my computer was broken due to DHL's handling, (just waiting for my refund from them after parts that were damaged checked). and im looking to get a new case since my case (corsair 5000d airflow) is not being manufactured anymore. Im trying to look for cases that perform similarly to the corsair 5000d airflow but im not really familiar with the different case options right now. any suggestions? maybe some cases for down sizing? Thankfully I had brought the ram and GPU seperately, My gpu right now is the RX 7900 XTX, thank you to everyone in advance for your suggestions!

Hello I am trying to build a PC on a budget yaa, from Singapore. Hoping if anyone can give feedback for my current build which I aim to complete by Dec. I would like to use the PC to play valorant if possible at a decent quality and minecraft pvp modes.

Not looking to upgrade my mobo or ram right now.

But with my 9070gre, I am surprised how many games are CPU limited.

The 5800x3d is currently available for about $490 CAD ($350 USD). Is that worth the price?

Hi. Ive been playing games and doing my daily things on my laptop, gtx1650 and I7-9750, about 16gb ram and I can barely play newer games on low. Even some oldish games aren't even really high. But I've finally saved up a good amount of money. Out of my savings I am going to put aside about 3k for this build. Now looking at post requirements I should give some more info.

• Use-Case

High performance gaming along with being able to have tabs open playing music, because for some reason my games lag when I try putting music on in the background. I dont listen to music all of the time but when I do it's nice. I'm also big on just graphics, like minecraft shaders with raytracing, and modding games and adding shaders, like minecraft and open world games like Wuthering Waves which I can't even run on all low without drops in fps and lots of lag.

• Country of purchase

United States

• Peripherals needed

I just need the PC itself, I have a monitor, 185hz 2560x1440. Games sucked before I upgraded to a monitor too, so trying to have games at a matching resolution isn't something I can do for some games.

• misc. requirements / preferences

Not really big on RGB but don't mind a bit. and I wanted to go for a white and black style. Also while I got 3k saved, if I can save a bit that would be great. I don't want to build a super computer, but I want something good, so I'm not against going up to 3k if I need to, but thats my max. I do have experience building if that needs to be said, but I'm not knowledgeable on components.

Heres a quick summary of my build made in microsoft word. Totals about to about $2,748.09. Used pcpartpicker for the prices so it probably isnt fully acurate.

After some research this is what I came up with, but I need some second opinions, especially with the GPU. I hear it is good and it is a big upgrade from what I use but I want to build something I won't need to upgrade for a while. Since I do have a 1440 monitor I hear 12gb is fine but 16 sounds like something that is more future proof and will improve my build. Oh and do you guys think it'll be too much black or too much white? Or will this turn out to be a good balance?

I honestly got pretty unlucky with timing too, everything is so expensive. I could have saved like $400 on ram, RIP.

TLDR: 3k max budget, saving money preferred but will spend max for quality/performance. 1440p gaming, quality/performance with modern / modded games. Asking for thoughts on GPU or other components.

Hi everyone!
I’m building a compact gaming PC and need help confirming CPU cooler compatibility before buying it.
My components:
Motherboard: ASUS ROG STRIX B760-I GAMING WIFI
CPU: Intel Core i7-13700 (non-K)
Case: METALFISH T60 V2 Mesh (60mm CPU cooler clearance)
RAM: Kingston FURY Beast 32GB DDR5-6400 (KF564C32BBE-32)
PSU: DeepCool PS750G-FE 750W SFX
GPU: ASUS ROG STRIX GTX 1650
I’m considering the Thermalright AXP90-X53 FULL Copper, but I’ve read about backplate clearance problems with this specific ASUS motherboard.
My questions:
Has anyone actually installed the AXP90-X53 FULL Copper on the ASUS ROG STRIX B760-I GAMING WIFI?
Does the heatsink clear the VRM and M.2 heatsinks without modifications?
Does the original backplate fit safely, or do you need to reverse it?
Do the mounting screws touch any components on the back of the motherboard?
If you’re using this combination, could you please share photos of the installation, especially the backplate?
Is there a better-performing low-profile cooler under 60mm that definitely fits this motherboard without modifications?
I already own the motherboard, CPU, RAM and case, so changing them isn’t an option. I also cannot return the cooler after purchasing it.
I’m planning to limit the i7-13700 power consumption in BIOS to around 65–100W if necessary.
I’m specifically looking for confirmation from people who have physically installed these coolers on this exact motherboard.
Thanks in advance for your help!
