| Build a mc server to save a dying one? Posted: 03 Sep 2018 03:00 AM PDT My favourite MC server is shutting down in december due to financial problems. It costs 600 usd a year to rent. I was wondering if its possible to build a server with plugins, (not mods) for 50 people for about 300? That way we could all pool together and save it. Thanks Edit: Thank you all for your input. It is most appreciated Edit: The server is called Amethysia..please feel free to log on and enjoy the server [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| x470 ryzen 7 2700x cursed build Posted: 03 Sep 2018 02:01 PM PDT I'm close to a break down. It has been close to 24h debugging and trying things. For every step forward, I get two backwards. I am really out of other things to do. This is the original post: https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapc/comments/9c371r/urgent_rig_not_booting I have unmounted the whole system, and have a setup out of the box. After swapping several times the memory sticks, the system was able to POST. WHOAH! YAYS HURRAY. I take the opportunity to update the bios. System reboots. Posts again. Shutdown, add the other memory module. Turn on. POSTs. Reboot several times. It reboots and POSTs 5x. Fine. Shutdown. Install SSD. Turn on. No POST. Remove SSD. No POST. Remove/swap ram. No POST. Remove disippator, replace thermal paste. No POST. (when I got the system working I checked the temps and where 60's) What do you think guys??? Many thanks :) [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Pre-Built or Build My Own? (Approx. $800 budget) Posted: 03 Sep 2018 11:23 AM PDT Hi r/buildapc, Looking to get an entry level gaming PC. Cant' decide between pre-built or not; I want something entry-level with the ability to upgrade over time. 1080p is fine; 30-60FPS is fine; I am accustomed to playing on my gaming laptop. (which is a hand-me-down). Suggestions appreciated. Initial search left me with this (Looking to spend $800.00~ish). Thanks in advance, [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| [Build Ready] Major PC upgrade in 5 years, flexible ~$2000 budget + dual monitors Posted: 03 Sep 2018 11:33 AM PDT Build Help/Ready:Have you read the sidebar and rules? (Please do) Yes! What is your intended use for this build? The more details the better. HD gaming and daily use machine for a relatively new hobbyist PC builder. My current PC is showing its age with constant frame rate stutters - it was a budget build even when I put it together 5 years ago. I currently play Witcher 3, raid in FFXIV, and would like to revisit FFXV on Steam with all the DLC that's come out in the past two years after completing this build. If gaming, what kind of performance are you looking for? (Screen resolution, framerate, game settings) 1080p and very smooth 144 FPS at max or ultra settings. I definitely want to upgrade to a dual monitor setup for this build and M.2 storage. I would experiment with some light overclocking if the build supported it. What is your budget (ballpark is okay)? I'm very flexible with budget. I actually expected to spend about $3k and had the budget to do so, but after doing research managed to put together a build that fits my needs at about $1900. This does not include monitors, I have that as a separate budget. I'm also a beginner level hobbyist so the actual research, component selection, and assembly of the machine is something I enjoy doing. In what country are you purchasing your parts? Mississippi, USA Post a draft of your potential build here (specific parts please). Consider formatting your parts list. Don't ask to be spoonfed a build (read the rules!). PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant Provide any additional details you wish below. I am aware of the RTX 2080 series coming out this month and the possible pending price drop of current cards. However, I am ready to build now and my current components definitely fit within my budget, so this isn't an issue. Some additional questions/comments for the helpful people here: 1) I was originally looking heavily at water cooling for this build for light overclocking and noise reduction (and for the experience of doing it), but I haven't found a really solid step by step guide for a custom loop and I am just ready to build now. The price/performance of AIO coolers seems somewhat debatable compared to high end air cooling so I have gone with the Noctua D15S for now. I would not mind going back to an AIO like the Corsair H100i if the benefits are there. 2) Can anyone explain the wide price difference between GTX 1080 Ti cards? I originally was looking at an ASUS Strix, but don't understand the over $200 difference between it and the Zotac card that's currently in my list, when they seem almost identical. Thank you all for reading over the submission and for any helpful advice. [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 03 Sep 2018 01:35 PM PDT Region: UK Budget: 1100-1200£ Hello guys! Hope you're good... I'm trying to build my first pc, it will be used for eSports game at 60 Fps High settings at 1080p and for photo/video editing at 1080p.

| Unplugged my power strip from the wall and now I can't post. Any suggestions? Posted: 03 Sep 2018 07:36 AM PDT So my girlfriend tripped over my power strip that my PC and monitors are connected to. The PC was on when it was unplugged, and now I can't get it to post at all. The internal components (CPU/GPU fans and lights) all turn on, but I get no display. PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant
Here's a list of everything that I've tried to get it back up and running.
I'm at a loss. I think I have narrowed it down to being the motherboard, but I really don't see how unplugging my power strip can just completely destroy my motherboard. I was about to RMA the board, but I don't have the CPU socket cover/any of the packaging. I don't know how much longer I can go without Fortnite. Send help.

| Best (cheapest, maybe) hardware for a GTX 1070 Posted: 03 Sep 2018 10:22 AM PDT TL;DR: I want to buy hardware around a GTX 1070 and need to know what parts are the best bang for the buck and the very best, in order to compare how much I loose when choosing a cheaper part. Extended Kinda new to this PC Building world; I know about PCs and I do code a lot, but I don't know all the details about speeds, or what bottlenecks what, what power supply is best, what Motherboards will work, etc. I'm about to get either a GIGABYTE GTX 1070 Founders' Edition or a Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1080 G1 gaming GV-N1080G1, both used (I think) for a less than 3 months. They're about $6500 MXN (conver to USD) for the 1070 and $8000 MXN for the 1080 (this one may be too cheap and it raises a red flag). Since right now I don't have all the money needed to buy every single part in one shot, I want to start by buying the GPU and the rest of the parts in 4 months maybe. So... trying to avoid bottlenecks but at the same time cheaping out on the rest of components:
I don't care about keyboard and mouse or similar peripherals, I can be very cheap here. I'm not an ultra hyper mega gamer with professional eSports license or something like that. I just want to play Nier Automata, Quantum Break, Assassin's Creed (the newest which name I forgot), Tomb Raider and some newer games at 1080p and 60 fps with no dips. EDIT: I am focusing on 1080p abd 60fps gaming. 4K ist not in my priority list and will not for a couple of years. Maybe 4K for FL Studio, Photoshop, and Affinity Designer, but not games.

| I5 7500 at 100% ussage, while gtx 980 is under 50% ussage Posted: 03 Sep 2018 12:56 PM PDT One of my friends is having trouble with his system since his CPU is pined at 100%, while his GPU is usually at or under 50% usage. My friend's system has an i5 7500, a gtx 980, 16gb of ddr4 2400mhz ram, a 1tb Kingston SSD, and a 2tb mechanical hard drive. In addition, this issue occurs in almost all modern games such as BF1. I'd also like to add, my friend has installed the latest bios for his motherboard, done multiple windows installs, and has updated his GPU drivers.

| Stains on my new Ryzen5 1600, should I ask for replacement? Posted: 03 Sep 2018 01:35 PM PDT So i ordered a ryzen 5 1600 and received it today, but on opening I found that the processor had blotches/stains on its top side. Haven't tested out the processor as my motherboard is yet to arrive. Should I ask for a replacement?

| First time PC Build. Need help to know is it's good. Posted: 03 Sep 2018 10:23 AM PDT Hey all! I'll finally change my old notebook for a decent PC. I've saved some money but I don't really want to make it too expensive. I asked a few friends who know how to build and this is what I've been suggested. Any ideas on where to improve/save? Are these actually compatible? I can get better prices for what I've been looking, but Portugal isn't on the part picker website. PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant

| A Beginner's Experience: The Writeup, so you can learn from my mistakes. Posted: 03 Sep 2018 02:32 PM PDT I promised I'd write up my experience building a computer from scratch for the first time, so here we go. My build: PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant The Purchase: Purchase went smoothly for the most part. I bought nearly all of my parts off Amazon, save for the GPU and WiFi card (bought on Ebay). However, four of my parts were not delivered to my dad's house, where we were actually going to put the PC together. Three of them came bundled together. Both times, the delivery people claimed that nobody was home-- unfortunately for them, my father is retired, sits at his computer by the front window with an excellent view of the driveway, and has three large dogs who bark if someone so much as parks in front of the house. So the first time, my dad picked three packages up in person at the facility, and we thought that was the end of it. Then the delivery people claimed, again, that they had "missed" us and that the package had been unable to be delivered because no one was home. Bullshit. I knew nobody had even tried to make that delivery. The delivery was by Amazon and not by another carrier, so I contacted Amazon. After being given the run-around for two days, they revealed that I was correct-- no one had tried to make that delivery, because the package hadn't even been sent to the right facility. The mailman hadn't even had the package in his possession. They still can't explain to me how or why it was scanned as "attempted delivery". ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I got a 20% discount for my trouble. My Phanteks case arrived with a dirty smear on one of the fans that couldn't be washed or rubbed off-- it's like those grey sneaker skidmarks you see on a tile floor, but it won't come off. I asked Amazon if I could exchange the fan, they told me to either send the whole case back or take a discount. I took the discount, as that would be enough to buy a replacement fan of the same brand and model. The Lesson:
The Build: Piecing all the hardware together was, for the most part, very easy. We set up a folding table in my dad's room, a drop cloth, wore anti-static wristbands, and made sure to have separate containers for all the screws we accumulated. The first time I turned my computer on, it booted up just fine. Since my monitor was at my house and my computer was at my dad's, we tested it with his monitor. Unfortunately for me, I forgot that my motherboard, like most gaming mobos, does not come with integrated graphics. So it took me a while to realize that I needed to plug my monitor into my GPU and not my Mobo. I also failed to seat one of my RAM sticks properly, which I didn't discover until last night. When I ran Memtest 64, it caused my entire computer to crash. I spent this morning testing each stick individually and checking the slots. Now my computer recognizes I have 32GB of RAM and passes memtest perfectly. The Lesson:
The Virtual Set-Up: My real problems came during windows and software installation. First fuck-up: I accidentally installed my OS on my HDD and my Boot on my SSD. I have no idea how it happened. Beginner's luck. But I only discovered it after I went to try and convert my HDD from MBR to GPT so that I could turn the entirety of my 4TB HDD into a simple volume (basically, make it usable-- you can't use your HDD until you partition it). MBR can only handle up to 2TB. If you have a HDD larger than 2TB, make sure you convert it to GPT. This can be done easily via windows command prompt. Do not convert your SSD to GPT, because Windows cannot install on GPT-- it must be MBR. But command prompt is a bit like playing with fire for the uninitiated, and of course, I was playing with it at the worst time possible: while reinstalling Windows after my first fuck-up. To convert from MBP to GPT, I had to clean (read: erase) the drive. I had three drives in my computer: the windows installation USB, the SSD, and the HDD. While playing with conversion, I accidentally wiped the USB and made it unreadable. I had to stick it into my other windows computer and go into command prompt to reformat it and make it usable again. Then I had to turn it into a bootable windows installation USB all over again. So I successfully installed my OS onto my SSD, then attached my HDD, converted the HDD to GPT, and successfully made it into a 4TB simple volume. Problem solved? Not exactly. Even after that, my computer was ridiculously slow and a bit janky, which it absolutely shouldn't have been. It was stuttering. When I was on the internet, it would stutter or freeze frequently. Even ctrl + alt + delete wouldn't help. When I tried to rename or move files or folders, it would stutter and act like it was a 20 year old dinosaur computer. It would play games just fine, beautifully even, but simple tasks were giving it trouble. Absolutely ridiculous. The solution was to optimize my drives. My RAM was also not running at advertised speeds-- 2133Mhz instead of 3000Mhz. And only 3 of 4 sticks were even recognized in the modules. When I ran memtest, it would cause my system to crash repeatedly during the tests. The problem, of course, was that at least one of the sticks wasn't slotted in correctly. Once I fixed that, I was able to go into BIOS and change the D.O.C.P to the 3000mhz profile. The Lesson:
And there you have it. I hope this helps other first-time builders-- especially in avoiding my particularly absurd mistakes, like installing different parts of my OS on two different drives or accidentally killing not one but two USB sticks... Pictures of the final build: https://imgur.com/a/rXUn7Iw Next step: to try and get aura-sync to work properly so I can make everything blue. Wish me luck.

| Building a PC for a friend, need a super cheap CPU. Posted: 03 Sep 2018 08:32 AM PDT Hey guys, i'm building a PC for a friend and now I just need a cpu+MoBo.

| Can you help me save some money without sacrificing (too much) performance? Posted: 03 Sep 2018 12:54 PM PDT Hey everyone. This is my first time building a PC by myself, so I was hoping you could help me out since you guys have much more experience than me. I need a machine that will allow me to play games like The Witcher 3 at 1440p resolution, 60 fps. As I understand it, this build should do that just fine. What I'm not sure about is if I'm spending too much on some parts, like the motherboard or the CPU. I'd like to save as much money as possible without sacrificing too much performance. I do need the wifi though. PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant
