| RAM has a ton of errors. Anything I can do other than replacing it entirely. Posted: 24 Apr 2018 02:50 AM PDT Troubleshooting Help:What is your parts list? Consider formatting your parts list. PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant
Describe your problem. List any error messages and symptoms. Be descriptive. I was having some problems with my PC (Would have to restart pc 20-30 times till it would boot into the OS, games would crash all the time, etc) and through a little bit of research, I narrowed down the problem to my RAM. I then ran MemTest86 (MemTest Report) and I have 260 errors with my RAM. So is there anything else I can do other than just buying another stick of ram? List anything you've done in attempt to diagnose or fix the problem. Ran MemTest86, had 260 errors. Post relevant photos of build/parts here. None. Provide any additional details you wish below. That's pretty much it. [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Thinking of buying a 1440p 144hz display Posted: 24 Apr 2018 05:56 AM PDT Hello, I have finished with my pc upgrade and now im thinking of upgrading my display. At the moment it seems that 1440p 144hz displays are reasonably priced and offer high resolution combined with high refresh rate. This seems to be pretty ideal. Before buying I have a few questions tho. My gpu is gtx1080. Games like witcher 3 will probably run about 60fps at 1440p. My question is if i lower the game resolution to 1080p to get higher fps will the image quality be same as it would be on a native 1080p or will it be better/worse? Also i wouldnt mind some suggestions on which display to choose. Currently im concidering Asus MG278Q ( 500 eruos in my country) or AOC AG271QX ( 450 euros ). Leaning towards AOC. Any suggestions in regarding this? [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| HELP ME - I fear I've killed my PC Posted: 24 Apr 2018 10:51 AM PDT So, I built my first PC in late December and recently decided to upgrade my PSU from 450W to 750W as well as some fans to finally complete my build. Today my PSU arrived and I set about swapping out the cables. Once that was finished I went to power on and... nothing. Assuming the PSU was faulty I connected everything back to the old PSU. AND IT STILL DOESN'T TURN ON! Now I'm freaking out. I'm a stay- at- home carer for my mum so I'd pooled my meagre savings for well over a year to buy all the components. Now I'm scared I've fried them and there's no way I can start at square one again. Please help me r/buildapc - have I doomed myself? Am I missing something obvious here? Thanks for reading and any advice is appreciated. [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Advice on building a medium-end pc? Posted: 24 Apr 2018 03:46 PM PDT So I'm looking to build a PC for gaming. I'm not trying to build an insane high-end computer that can play anything in 4K and 144fps; I'd rather just have a medium-end pc that can still run at least most games in mid graphics (my current one can't play anything remotely 3D without lag) while saving as much money as possible. Are there any parts in particular that you could reccomend me? One in particular that I'm interested in is the GTX 710 ti. Most reviews say that it's still good, not top-tier, but definetely good, and also very cheap. I asked some of my friends (who also built their own pcs) and most said that if that's the case I shouldn't trust it, since it could go obsolete pretty soon. What do you people think?

| Posted: 24 Apr 2018 12:03 AM PDT Hey guys, new to this subreddit and just wanted to get some insight on the current state of GPU's. Recently upgraded to a Dell 1440p 144hz G-sync monitor, and realized my Gigabyte 1060 6gb needs some extra oomph on the games I usually play. Been waiting to get a 1070ti for what seems like ages, but they were around $700! Now a gigabyte 1070ti is $519 though, and I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on it and selling my 1060. You guys think the market is good enough to buy a card rn, or should I deal for now? [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 24 Apr 2018 03:10 PM PDT I see a lot of people complaining about CAM in reviews for the H700i, yet the Kraken which uses the exact same software is one of the most common AIOs I've been seeing in builds. Is CAM still bad enough to eliminate the H700i and/or Kraken components for a new build? [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Ready to purchase a Budget PC, my goal is under $400. Any feed back would be much appreciated. Posted: 24 Apr 2018 07:24 AM PDT https://pcpartpicker.com/list/PDLDcY I wanna thank u/grizzled--kinda for giving me another build, but it was over $500. I've never actually owned a gaming PC, and i've done some research in the last month to hopefully build this thing on my own. [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Threadripper / Workstation / Render Rig Build Help Posted: 24 Apr 2018 02:32 PM 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. Rendering / 3D Modelling and Design Rig. Some gaming.
If gaming, what kind of performance are you looking for? (Screen resolution, framerate, game settings) Non-essential. Just looking for quick render/animation times What is your budget (ballpark is okay)? $4000 CAD In what country are you purchasing your parts? Canada 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 haven't built a PC since the pentium 4 days so I've been trying to catch up on all the new stuff. Putting things together seems just as straightforward as before, probably even easier now with modular PSU. I'm going to hold onto this list just a bit longer waiting for the right GPU prices and the 1950x will sometimes drop another $100.
Thanks for reading! [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 24 Apr 2018 08:54 AM PDT I've got a PowerSpec G350 that was purchased on 4/22/17 parts list at link below http://www.powerspec.com/systems/system_specs.phtml?selection=G350 In January I had a motherboard failure. Took it into Microcenter for service and they replaced MOBO, said all other parts tested fine. February, MOBO blown again. Again Microcenter replaces MOBO says all other parts tested fine. "Must be bad luck" says the rep. At this point I go and buy a brand new surge protector just to make sure an older one isn't responsible for any electrical surging that I'm not aware of. April 22, MOBO blown for a 3rd time. Took it into microcenter and they tell me that my 1 year warranty expired on 4/21 even though that doesn't equate into 1 full year of warranty service taking into account that there are 24 hours in a day and 365 days in a year. My warranty lasted 364 days and 10 hours. They tell me that any repairs will have to be paid for at this point. Seeing as it's pretty obvious that something else is causing my MOBO failures and they seem to be putting band aids on my issue I'm turning here for help. The only odd behavior my PC was showing which may or may not be related is this - I have a 2 monitor setup and it seems that under heavy GPU load, (streaming video to Chromecast while playing a simple game like Hearthstone) makes my monitors sporadically blink off and on. RIght one goes black, comes back after a few seconds, left one goes black then back on in the same manner. Sometimes it's one display sometimes both. It's not switching resolutions as apps open and close BTW. I'm pretty much a novice when it comes to PC repair so I'm not even sure if a faulty GPU could fry a MOBO or not but that's the only "symptom" I've ever seen. Any ideas on where I should start with something like this? [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Don't buy a 144hz monitor unless you're prepared to never use 60hz again. Posted: 24 Apr 2018 04:05 PM PDT Title. After using/gaming on my 144hz Viewsonic Xg2401 for a few months, It's painful to use a 60hz Asus or Dell monitor. 144hz is so much smoother, not only in games when pushing 144 fps, but also just for general use. Watching videos, web browsing. It feels and looks so much smoother. Don't make the jump unless you're prepared to never go back. That's my opinion.

| Overdue 2600x upgrade from a 8350 - need PSU and RAM help Posted: 24 Apr 2018 04:05 PM PDT Build Help/Ready: This is my main gaming and general purpose computer. I have a AMD 8350, a rx 480 and benq xl2730z right now and a serviceable case. I tell myself that I will upgrade when I can afford 100% performance uplift for a reasonable price. Local retailer said they would flash the mobo bios for me before I pick it up. So its time. PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant

| Do Dual Monitors Affect Performance in Games? Posted: 24 Apr 2018 04:26 AM PDT Hello, Currently an ultrawide monitor (that I got for a good price) is on its way to my house in a couple hours. I have been using this 720p 25 inch monitor and since I'm going to use alongside the ultrawide, will it affect performance while playing games? Now I'm talking just having the secondary monitor in the desktop doing nothing, I know running anything that uses flash or video will decrease performance, I'm just talking about leaving it on the desktop. Specs: i5 7400 1060 6GB 8 GB of RAM [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 24 Apr 2018 12:12 PM PDT Hi, just built a new PC, hooked it up and won't post, no beeps. all the fans and LEDs turn on fine, but power to DVD drive and keyboard/mouse doesn't work. no video output and no post. i7-6700k asrock z170 pro4s mobo tried with 1 stick of ram, video card is currently removed and using onboard.connections all tight.. [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 24 Apr 2018 03:57 PM PDT I have a custom built tower computer and when i turn it on I can hear the fans working but nothing shows up on the screen. The power button works to turn on the computer but then, even if i hold it, in an attempt to turn it off nothing happens. So I have to turn it off using the main switch in the back. This happened a few days ago and then resolved itself without me doing anything and is now happening again. Any advice is appreciated [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Is an aftermarket cooler for a founders edition graphics card worth it? Posted: 24 Apr 2018 03:53 PM PDT Will it keep the card cooler and quieter? I was looking at something like the accelero twin turbo or maybe an aio water cooler like the Kraken G10. Thanks in advance. [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 24 Apr 2018 03:14 PM PDT How much does RAM frequency matter for 2600. Ive heard with the 1600 that frequency mattered quite a bit, but I am not sure if memory has as much of an impact on the 2600 as it does on the 1600? [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 24 Apr 2018 03:13 PM PDT I'm tired of having a massive computer (NZXT Phantom). What do you guys recommend for a mini-itx case that will get me as small as possible, preferably for under $100. Whatever I get, I'll eventually cram a high end GPU (1080ti level) into it, so cooling is nice (is that possible in an SFF?) Thanks for the help! [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 24 Apr 2018 02:57 PM 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. Deep learning. Would like to participate in Kaggle competition to better prepare myself for image-based research I would like to do in residency (possibility prototyping with CT images or other medical imaging) If gaming, what kind of performance are you looking for? (Screen resolution, framerate, game settings) Possible use for games but would not make any major decisions to optimize performance for gaming at the expense of the intended purpose. What is your budget (ballpark is okay)? $2-2.5K In what country are you purchasing your parts? US **Post a draft of your potential build here (specific parts please). https://pcpartpicker.com/list/QLskXP (https://pcpartpicker.com/list/QLskXP/by_merchant/)
Provide any additional details you wish below. One thing that I am unsure about is how well all this will fit in the case. First time building a computer. Also what is the benefit of i7-8600k compared to the i5-8600k for my needs? Thanks! [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Build Complete! Work/Moderate Gaming Machine. Posted: 24 Apr 2018 09:50 AM PDT This is my second build and second build complete post on this subreddit. I'll save the time and put the PCPartPicker list here. PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant
Not included in the list: GTX 645 OEM Graphics card (Because I didn't want to buy a card with the current state of the market, I had this one lying around). I finished this build a lot faster than I did my first one, because this time I knew exactly what to do. I finished the build from start to post in about an hour and a half. Absolutely no problems along the build, everything was clean and simple. So far, I'm loving it. It can run most games at medium settings/1080p/60fps. Gonna upgrade the graphics card once I can find a good deal. Let me know what you think! Obligatory Pictures Thanks again r/BuildAPC !!! [link] [comments]  |
