| Posted: 02 Jan 2019 07:25 PM PST So in every single build I'm seeing people get a main SSD and a 7200RPM storage drive. You can typically get double the space if you buy a 5400RPM drive. The main idea of drive speed came from when your OS and all program files were on your mechanical drive. Your main drive. (Remember 10,000RPM Raptor drives?) Now with the OS on your SSD, these faster access times are not necessary. Get a 7200RPM if it's your intent, but you can get a 4TB 5400RPM drive for under $100 USD so it is leaving a lot of space on the table to get a faster access time that you will never need. Edit: A lot of people are commenting that I'm saying "don't buy SSDs." This is false. If anything, I'm saying rely on SSDs for your main program files and use 5400RPM for files not frequently accessed or fully-loaded into RAM. Edit2: People don't know what xcopy does. Check out Steam Mover. Moves your games on and off your SSD for when you need them to load quickly for a few weeks as you play. Then move off the SSD to save space. No deleting or reinstalling required. Edit3: People are bringing up price saying 7200RPM is "the same price". In the United States, 4TB of 7200RPM space starts at $193. 4TB of 5400RPM space starts at $99. That's where my numbers come from. Amazon. Take the $100 in savings and get another 500GB SSD from Amazon for $90 (the sales price they'd had recently) [link] [comments]  |
| Went from Radeon HD 4870 to GTX 1070 ti. Mind blown. Posted: 03 Jan 2019 05:39 AM PST The difference is breathtaking. I struggled to play simple older titles, and now I'm flying. Radeon 4870 is 512 mb ram while GTX is the 8gb DDR5. Went from a toddler's toy car to a ferrari. Big jump. https://www.overclock.net/forum/74-graphics-cards-general/502403-graphics-card-ranking.html this ranking has the old GPU at rank 144 and new one at rank 13 [link] [comments]  |
| ~$7K Video Editing Workstation (For Work!) Posted: 03 Jan 2019 12:57 PM PST PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant The basic goal is to build a monster video editing workstation. We routinely use Premiere/After Effects/Davinci Resolve with Red 8K RAW footage/A7S ii footage/ Canon RAW footage (clog from C200s) and need something that can chew through editing/vfx and rendering of everything. The idea is to use the M.2 drives for OS/Apps and scratch and then RAID 0 the 2TB ssds for decent media storage. All these would get backed up daily to the 8TB external. I'd like to go bigger on the drive storage, but that can always be added onto based on needs. I'm not even sure if the 9960X is worth the price tag, but it would be great to have all those cores. The motherboard is a mixed bag because while I love that the ASRock has 10GBase-T built in, I haven't found clear thunderbolt 3 support information (through an AiC) but still looking around there. Any suggestions/advice would be very much appreciated. Trying to get the best bang for the buck, and 7K seems like plenty of wiggle room for a dedicated workstation. [link] [comments]  |
| Planning on buying a GTX 1060 and I have a few questions. Posted: 03 Jan 2019 01:00 PM PST I've got a lot of questions for you: 1: Are my parts compatible if I were to upgrade? 2: Will the 1060 be bottle-necked by my CPU? 3: Is it a good purchase? If you think so, link me a good place to buy one. My setup so far is: Motherboard: Gigabyte - GA-990XA-UD3 R5 CPU: AMD 6300fx (4GHz) GPU: AMD Radeon R9 270 I think that's all the relevant stuff. If its not, I can get the others. Thanks for your help! [link] [comments]  |
| usb 3.0 cable is really annoying when doing cable managment Posted: 03 Jan 2019 09:42 AM PST That fat bitch of a cable is the only thing that keeps me out of having a fully clean build, i regret not getting modular psu now a bit [link] [comments]  |
| Better processor, or more ram for a gaming pc? Posted: 03 Jan 2019 01:50 PM PST I have two choices with the above description. Please help. Choice one is 100 bucks more which is what I'm willing to pay if its a very big difference. Choice one: Processor: 8th Generation Intel Core i7-8750H 6-Core Processor (Up to 4.1GHz) RAM: 8 gigs Choice two: 7th Gen Intel Core i7-7700HQ (2.8GHz/3.8GHz) Quad Core Processor RAM: 16GB DDR4 2400MHz RAM (2 Dimm) both have gtx 1060 graphics card [link] [comments]  |
| Over Clocking gone potentially wrong Posted: 03 Jan 2019 07:22 AM PST Hello, I have had my computer for about a year and a half and yesterday I thought I would try get into overclocking, I don't really know why but I read a bit on it and was recommended it by another redditor to give it a shot. So I figured I'd go slowly. My specs are a 1700X @ 3.4 GhZ, trident Z 3000 ram, MOBO is MSI 350B Tomahawk and gpu is a Gigabyte 1060 6GB but I am almost certain the gpu had nothing to do with it. I at first went from 3.4 to 3.8 and noticed my ram was set to 2133 so I moved it to 2400. Ran a stress test, everything was fine. Then I went to 3.8 to 4.2 but then this is where I think I made my mistake, I thought my ram was 3200 so I moved it to that setting in the Bios. Upon rebooting it said OC failed and brought me back to the bios I nervously moved the Ram back to 2400 and just hit save and reboot this time I got an infinite black screen with no boot or anything. I see I needed a jumper cap but I ended up finding a way to reset the CMOS which was to take out the battery and unplugged the system this worked. I moved everything back to auto the way I found it and the computer appeared to be fixed----- but I have few issues now,
So if anyone has any experience with the above issues Id applicate any info on it. TL;DR Did some small over clocking, got black screen while messing with settings in bios, restored factory settings on bios, game back to some sound issues and connectivity issues. [link] [comments]  |
| ASRock Z390 Extreme4 build - mobo gets power/lights up, fans won't spin Posted: 03 Jan 2019 01:30 PM PST Build list: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Dr.StrangeBalls/saved/fkkr6h Just finished this build and was pleasantly greeted with the onboard LEDs of the mobo glowing, but I'm having fan problems. GPU fans spin successfully. The CPU fan spins up but stops after just a couple seconds. Case fans don't spin up at all. Have checked all fan header connections and am at a loss. Thanks for any help or suggestions offered. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 03 Jan 2019 01:30 PM PST Currently have a 970, but I want to upgrade for vr and 1080@144. Also, my motherboard is an Asus Gryphon bought in 2014. Is there any possibility of problems with newer NVidia cards? I'm assuming not, but thought I'd ask. [link] [comments]  |
| Easiest way to migrate windows 10 Posted: 03 Jan 2019 02:27 PM PST Hi im currently wanting to move my OS to an ssd that i bought. If i reset my Windows OS will it give me the option of choosing a new drive to reinstall windows on to? [link] [comments]  |
| Can anyone rate my first build? Posted: 03 Jan 2019 11:13 AM PST So I finally decided to build my first pc after contemplating doing so for months. This is my first build and I would like to know how I did. PC is already built. Thanks in advance! [link] [comments]  |
| Is 61 GPU temp safe? (Degrees) Posted: 03 Jan 2019 10:53 AM PST Hello I've been running fortnite for about an hour and I've been monitoring temps with CAM software from NZXT I have a 1060 msi OC edition (black and white card) and I've hit 61 peak. I just want to know is this a good operating temperature as that's what it'll usually always be if that make sense? My cpu never goes above 40 with the stock cooler. 1600 Wraith Spire.

| Posted: 03 Jan 2019 01:37 PM PST I have an optiplex 790 mobo, an i5 2500, gtx 1050ti, 8gb DDR3, 120gb SSD, and a 320gb HDD. I was just wondering if I should swap out the 320 HDD or just install another 4tb HDD.

| Posted: 03 Jan 2019 11:59 AM PST Hi everyone! I haven't done a full upgrade of my PC in a long time (7+ years) and was looking for some advice. The budget would be around £1000, maybe more depending on what I can get with the extra money and if it would be worth it long term. Looking for something with a bit of longevity to it so it can last another 5+ years. My current setup is: Thanks! [link] [comments]  |
| Still cant get a boot usb to work Posted: 03 Jan 2019 01:28 PM PST So since I have gotten my pc I have been trying to instal windows but everytime I try to place a bootable usb in it keeps giving me the error 0x8007000D stating Windows cannot open the required file C:\Sources\install.wim. The file is there and it isnt corrupt. No way it could be after 2 other downloads of the ISO on two different connections and devices. Yet no matter what I keep getting this error. The only place I can use to try to make these things is at work so I cant even use Rufus; just Unetbootin. And from what I saw no one seems to have my issue when using it. [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 03 Jan 2019 03:24 PM PST So my current setup is Ryzen 5 2600 with an EVGA CLC 280 cooler Asrock X470 Taichi 8x2 GB 3000 MHz C16 RX 580 8GB I just upgraded to this (minus GPU, had that for a bit). I found a guy that is selling his 2700X for $240 and I'm wondering if it's worth it upgrading the CPU and selling off the 2600 and then eventually upgrading the GPU when navi rolls around?

| Tips after everything turns on properly Posted: 03 Jan 2019 03:23 PM PST Just completed my first build and after everything turned on, I would like to know some tips to manually boost some of my hardware and get everything set up properly . I've installed windows and my graphics drivers as well as enabling my hard drive so that my PC recognizes it. What else should I be doing that is crucial and/or beneficial for my gaming experience? PS- I would say in terms of my noobiness to PC builds I'm a super noob [link] [comments]  |
| Question about fan headers and splinters. Posted: 03 Jan 2019 03:20 PM PST So I'm considering using an Asus prime b450-a/csm MATX board for my first build. I noticed it only has 2 4 pin fan headers. I have more fans than that. I see they are gaged for 1 amp and the fans I'm using at at .3 amps. Does that mean I could use a three four pin fan splitters to be able to use my fans? Thanks [link] [comments]  |
| Not sure if this is where I should post this, or r/techsupport Posted: 03 Jan 2019 03:18 PM PST So my friend just got his new PC built and he has windows 10 version 1803. He downloaded java, the latest version and whenever he tries to run a .jar file, a command prompt opens and then immediately closes. He can't install the 5zig mod for minecraft or any other mod. I have tried to help him with many solutions but nothing right now. The only way to run a .jar file is to make a .bat file executing said .jar file. But this method doesn't properly work sometimes. Could anyone help me with this? Is it because he is using windows 10 1803 when 1809 is the latest version? Could Java 8 Update 191 only work on the latest version of windows ten? He did check for updates but 1809 is not available for him yet. [link] [comments]  |
