| Posted: 12 May 2019 07:00 AM PDT Hey guys. I'm looking to upgrade my CPU but I'm thinking that in order to do that I will probably need to upgrade my motherboard too since it doesn't seem to fit many good CPU's that I can upgrade too. My current motherboard is an ASRock B150M Pro4 with Socket 1151 and my current CPU is intel i5-6500 3.2ghz. After exploring my options a bit i've found what I believe is my best option but im coming here for a second opinion because I'm not very knowledgeable about this stuff and I feel like im probably overlooking a better option lol. Here is what I think is my best option:
What do you guys think? Is this good or is there a better option for a similar price? Ideally I want to spend about $410 AUD ($290USD) but if its really worth it I'd be willing to spend about $500ish AUD ($350USD).. maybe more if it seems really worth it but ehh. Probably not needed but here are my full specs right now: PCPartPicker Part List

| Posted: 12 May 2019 08:28 AM PDT Hey Guys, I have an i5-4440 and a Radeon RX 570. My motherboard has stopped working and I am currently looking for a new MicroATX one that supports LGA1150. Does anyone know where I could find one for a reasonable price? (I'm in Canada) [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| What gpu do i buy for 1080p 60fps gaming, that'll last me a few years? Posted: 12 May 2019 07:54 AM PDT I have a 280x right now, but the fans are starting to break, so i need an upgrade, i still only play on 1080p , 60 fps. the first game i'm looking forward to is borderlands 3, so i could wait a little if threre are better options coming. i have a I5 4670k , idk if that will create a bottleneck. What card would u recomend? EDIT:thank u all for ur help, i think the best thing to do is wait for the new amd gpu's see what they do with that, and otherwise i'm going for a 1660 ti or 2060 [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| I'm going to buy some new 120mm fans but I don't know which ones Posted: 12 May 2019 09:39 AM PDT As title, my pc is running a little hotter as the summer is coming so I'd like to buy some new fans for my case since it's an upgrade I've wished for long. My case is the Phanteks Enthoo Pro M and it comes with 2 140mm fans (1 on the front and 1 on the back). I don't know a lot about fans, I'm looking at Pure Wings 2 by Be Quiet! but I'm not totally convinced about it, I'm not going to spend 20€ each so please no Noctua here (even if I know Redux series is cheaper) [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Giant thank you to everyone here, just finished building my first PC! Posted: 12 May 2019 03:03 PM PDT Thank you everyone for your knowledge and help, I really appreciate everything. I read up on this board over several months, and with some assistance through the building process, just finished building my first computer! Feels great! What are some post build things I should be keeping an eye out on? I looked in the bios and saw my CPU was hovering around 32C which seemed good from what I was reading online (Ryzen 5 2600). I'm thinking about updating some drivers but don't know what else I should be checking out or benchmarking (or even where to do it) Only other thing that I observed while digging around in my bios. The ram I have is the Adata Gammix D10 3000 frequency ram. In my bios it lists the memory frequency as 2667MHz. It sounds like I need to do something to bring it up to 3000?

| Posted: 12 May 2019 11:22 AM PDT I've been struggling with keeping all my parts compatible. I bought MSI Z390-A Pro, I7 9700k, Noctua DH-15 and G.skill RAM 8GBx2 to upgrade my PC. So the issue is that I can't fit my RAM sticks under my Noctua in dual channel mode, because the fan obstructs slots B1 and B2. So I came across a few possible solutions, but they all have their own drawbacks. I could move the fans a few notches up on the heat sink then I can fit the RAM, but I will be unable to close the case. So it's a no go. I'd have to buy a new case to make it work, not really preferable. I could remove one of the fans that's blocking the B1 and B2 ports. People say that I will not experience any significant increase in temps, but I'm having a hard time believing this. I could rotate the Noctua to exhaust at the top. Drawbacks: the back most fan is 95% obstructed by the GPU, so I have to move the GPU to the 2nd PCIE slot, which is not recommended by the manual. (Currently running this setup) I could just run in single channel mode, at the cost of performance. Do I have any other options? What should I do? I can splurge some more money, but I'd like to try free options first. [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 12 May 2019 02:55 PM PDT Is it worth the upgrade? Also is there a performance difference when it comes to streaming? [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Planning on building a new PC before I go to college, how's this look for 144 FPS? Posted: 12 May 2019 02:33 PM PDT I want to part-time stream, and I'm also on my college's eSports team, so I'd like a PC that I can practice on in my own time as well as play casually. How's this look? The game I'll be playing for eSports is Fortnite (even though the game is crap right now) but it's intended purpose will just be to casually game.

| Average temperature 90-105°C (194-221°F) AMD - Ryzen 7 2700X Posted: 12 May 2019 02:19 PM PDT Earlier I made a post about replacing the stock cooler (AMD Wraith Prism), except that I didn't have the chance to do that. So right now using the stock cooler and the thermal paste that was on the cooler. While checking the options for virtualization with Speccy, I've come across the Average temperature 90-105°C (194-221°F) for my CPU. Is this normal or too much? Full build: PCPartPicker Part List

| Would like to hear your opinion on my first Pc build (2K euro) Posted: 12 May 2019 12:44 PM PDT This is the build i have made so far: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/HDQJcY So i would like to know what you people think about this build and if i should change anything about it or not. the things i'm least certain about is that i don't know if the CPU cooler is good enough and idk if i should use this gpu or an AMD gpu so i can use freesync. Thanks for your help :) [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| EVGA inspired build, almost finished purchasing parts. Posted: 12 May 2019 01:52 PM PDT I've been reconsidering whether to go with 2x Blacks or just using a Blue or external as a backup rather then run 2x Black in Raid1. Other then that, open to comments and opinions before I pull the last few triggers and assembly fun. [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Posted: 12 May 2019 12:16 PM PDT I've been playing on console for years and have seen how much better games look and play on PC. I want to buy one for 4K and better frame rates but I also don't want to spend $1,500+ on a PC is there any builds recommended that wouldn't break the bank?

| This is the acer predator g6 motherboard Posted: 12 May 2019 02:21 PM PDT before i chuck it, the pci slot is ripped off, but I know it was a source of frustration for other predator owners that the motherboard type is unknown and i think proprietary? i hope the image helps anyone with future problems. https://twitter.com/unclelono/status/1127684324453752832?s=21 [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 12 May 2019 10:33 AM PDT Hey so I bought a new mobo it's the B450 AORUS ELITE and I believe it is the VRM that is causing the noise. The AIO is fine, I turned off all the fans, and with the all the case parts on. It seems to only emminate from the top filter (the noise). Should I just RMA the thing? I am sure it's not my PSU it's an EVGA 650 GQ, 80+ GOLD 650W, Semi Modular. I have been testing for a few days and until today it is doing this noise.

| Posted: 12 May 2019 02:03 PM PDT Trying to come up with a build in between a $1300-$1600 price range. Preferably on the lower side. Here's a list of what I've come up with. PCPartPicker Part List I have little to no knowledge on building a pc so any advice/recommendations are welcome. Thanks [link] [comments]  |
