    First PC build and not impressed - have I done something wrong?

    Posted: 12 Dec 2019 12:21 PM PST

    EDIT: To say I have not plugged the display into the Mobo - it is plugged into the 2080ti.

    Hey guys!

    I've finally splashed out on what seemed like a really good 4K or at least 1440p 60fps gaming PC. Built it separately, sourced the parts from a Youtube Vid and using Part Picker, etc.

    It runs Counter-Strike at 70fps average but that's about it. Everything else is sub 50fps - Destiny 2 gets 15fps, Shogan 2 Total War gets 20fps on the overworld/map screen. Apex Legends around 20fps too. I don't get it - getting better performance from my Xbox One X... The desktop experience as well is stuttery (loading Chrome, opening Steam, clicking the start menu takes 3 or 4 seconds to start.

    Also, went through Max, High, Medium, Low settings with Destiny 2 and Shogan as well - just High, Medium and Low with Apex, and frame rate did not change. Temps are not changing or acting differently. Also tried changing resolution from 4k to 1440p and then to 1080p and literally can't get above 30fps.

    So, Specs;

    i9 9900K 3,6ghz 8 core (have pushed this up in the UEFI to 4.8GHz but results were the same as stock - literally no improvement on overclock on the above fps I mentioned)Asus ROG Maximus XI Hero (Wi-Fi)64GB of Corsair Vengeance RGB PRo (4 x 16GB) DDR4-3200 (I have put this into XMP)Samsung 970 EVO Plus 500GB M.2 (Windows 10 Pro is installed here as well as some launchers and software)Samsung 860 EVO 4TB SSD (all games are installed here from Steam, Gamepass, Origin, etc.)MSI GeForce RTX 2080 Ti 11GB Gaming X Trio (Not fussed about overclocking this but put it up slightly to see - nothing changed again)Corsair RMx 850W 80+ Gold certified PSU.

    This is plugged into an Acer X27 Predator - I did have the screen set to the overclock 144Hz but thought this may be affecting things so tried it with just the standard display setting and no overclock - believe it's at 4k 60hz.

    Cooling and temps - I have a Kraken X72 liquid cooler and 7 fans (inc the 3 with the liquid cooler) in an NZXT H700i case. Stats and temps using CPU-Z, HWin, GPU-Z and NZXT CAM all read that the CPU is hitting 4800mhz, there's sufficient core voltage (1.250 approx), CPU does not go above 45c (around 30c idle) and Graphics Card under 'load' is around 60c, around 40c when idle.

    All drivers, Bios update, latest windows updates all installed.

    The youtube build shows gameplay of R6:Siege at 240fps+ I just want stable 60fps at this point!

    I have tried searching around and can't seem to find this exact issue and at a loss of what to do now. Around £3,000 for a system that is basically struggling to output what my Xbox One X can. Something must not be right 😂

    Any help really appreciated - was really happy I turned it on and everything worked, booted up, it was great. But it's like a potato struggling to open up the start menu.

    I'm so happy gamers!

    Posted: 12 Dec 2019 10:44 AM PST

    Thanks so much for you'r help guys! I upgraded my ram and cpu today and it went as smooth as butter !

    All temps are fine and RAM is running at 2933 mhz!

    These upgrades have really helped my pc out, for example MW now runs at 100-110 fps instead of 50-60

    My upgrades were : Ryzen 5 2600 from Ryzen 3 2200G and 2x8gb 3000mhz Corsair Vengeance from 1x8gb 2400mhz Team group

    Once again thanks so much for your help guys!

    If you're wondering why your GPU is running hot....

    Posted: 11 Dec 2019 06:33 PM PST

    ...make sure your exhaust fans are plugged in and actually exhausting...

    Don't ask me how I know this.

    EDIT: CASE exhaust fans. Sorry for any confusion. Also, the card is still running pretty hot, but I guess that's just a feature of the 5700 XT. And no exhaust fans certainly wasn't helping anything.

    Builders, be careful out there

    Posted: 12 Dec 2019 01:01 PM PST

    We all know that a new build requires a blood sacrifice, remember to be careful! I got a higher-end case that has almost no sharp edges buuuut the case arrived 100% fine not broken but unfortunately included extra glass fragments/dust from a different case when packaging.

    I took an hour to fully disassemble the case (it breaks down real nice) and vacuum the glass, and now it's good as "new"! No parts to install yet, but my first thoughts are that it has poor QA since there's broken glass packaged with a case, and another ding to QA since the top cover is extremely difficult to get back on (which is probably related to the glass explosion).

    Edited to clarify the case and panels are not broken and yet included broken glass

    5700XT alternative?

    Posted: 12 Dec 2019 01:45 PM PST

    I was about to order a Sapphire Radeon 5700XT Pulse but have been told and been reading about all the driver issues. Now , I've got horrendous luck so I know I'll have issues.

    Is there a N-Vidia or equivalent or one slightly lower ? I've been thinking the 5700 is overkill anyway

    Thanks

    The 144Hz rabbithole

    Posted: 12 Dec 2019 04:44 AM PST

    Sooo I just bought a new 1440p 144hz monitor, but didn't really comprehend the performance I would need to run 144FPS on mah games. I would like to know which upgrade route I should go to get at least 144FPS on medium settings. I have tried to overclock my CPU and GPU, but since I'm incompetent it just ends up crashing all the time.

    Looking at titles such as Red Dead Redemption 2, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Forza Horizon 4, Assetto Corsa and other soon to come tRiPlE aAa TiTlES. Also editing in Adobe Premiere Pro with 2.7k footage from my GoPro.

    Current specs: Intel i7-4770K 3.5GHz EVGA GeForce GTX 970 4GB (OC I think) 32GB (4x8GB) Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600MHz Corsair RM750 I think. (It is a 750W power supply though) All games on a couple fairly new SSDs

    Thanks in advance for any enlightening information 🤙

    Is a Ryzen 5 2600 with an RX 590 good for 1080P 60FPS gaming ?

    Posted: 12 Dec 2019 10:49 AM PST

    I've seen a lot of benchmarks and some games were just at 65~62 FPS, like Doom or Halo Reach having a lot of drops going under 60FPS. Maybe it's the guy who made the benchmark's fault, or it is the system. So is a Ryzen 5 2600 with an RX 590 good for 1080P 60FPS gaming ?

    Explain to a noob how BIOS updates work.

    Posted: 12 Dec 2019 05:21 AM PST

    So after a month of picking parts, waiting for them to arrive, painstakingly spending 4 hours putting it together, screaming at the heavens when it doesn't boot for 4 days, taking it apart multiple times, fretting over possibly having broken something, debugging for hours... It turns out that my B450 Aorus Elite Motherboard does in fact NOT natively support my Ryzen5 3600 CPU (despite it saying so on their website :) ) So my question is; what is the bare minimum of a cpu required to update my motherboard BIOS to be compatible with my 3rd gen ryzen? Can I use any AMD CPU released before mine? Or does it have to be Ryzen? Thanks in advance. I've gone to 3 different PC shops and none of them can/want to help me. One of them looked at me like I was an idiot even.

    I already tried to: Change the connection of the cable, reconnect all the pins, I double checked every cable

    I'm desperate because it is my first build and the fact that the first time I was so excited to see everything was working makes it even worse. Thanks in advance.

    Posted: 12 Dec 2019 02:37 PM PST

    So after being out of PC Gaming and design stuff for at least 10 years, I'm finally going to build a PC with my son. I've not really got any idea what is good or even just average. I used a PC configurator to help me input components and the like and below is what I've got, I'm going to be primarily gaming with web design and development on the side while my son will also be gaming and using photoshop and other design software. I just need to know if I'm headed in the right direction and if not I can keep looking. So is it powerful enough for latest games or totally underpowered. I hope this is the right forum and apologise in advance if I've mucked up posting here.

    I'm derping with motherboard/case compatibility.

    Posted: 12 Dec 2019 11:56 AM PST

    So I'm using the MSI B450 TOMAHAWK MAX ATX AM4 Motherboard.

    I'm also using Fractal Design Focus G Black ATX Mid Tower Computer Case as the case, however I've been going through my build to make sure everything fits, as I don't want to order it and have to wait another week or so to get the other part/waste money.

    Could anyone tell me size wise, if this does fit? From my understanding the motherboard is 1inch to big length wise.

    [Build Help] Ended up getting a Ryzen 5 3600X and an ASUS TUF Gaming X570-Plus to upgrade my build from a couple years ago, would like some help with RAM and a GPU that plays well with them.

    Posted: 12 Dec 2019 01:53 PM PST

    What is your intended use for this build? The more details the better.

    Primarily gaming, with some streaming for my girlfriend as well via Kast or Discord.

    If gaming, what kind of performance are you looking for? (Screen resolution, framerate, game settings)

    I don't really play anything too intensive on PC and save my consoles for those, although it would be nice to have that option. I mainly use my PC for PC only games or games that are better with keyboard and mouse, also indie gems. I would like to play through Skyrim or Fallout New Vegas again, this time heavily modded. Not as necessary though.

    I also play on an LG C9 4k OLED TV, so 4k is ideal. I believe my TV says it only goes up to 60 fps with 4k, so that's all I really need (although moderate future proofing isn't terrible).

    What is your budget (ballpark is okay)?

    I really just want mid range or affordable slightly high end parts, nothing too crazy.

    I primarily need advice on RAM and video cards, and would ideally spend no more than $150 on RAM and $400 on a GPU. I don't mind going around $50 over on each though.

    In what country are you purchasing your parts?

    US

    Post a draft of your potential build here (specific parts please).

    I already have a new processor, motherboard and case. Everything else is from my old build, I want to see if any other parts should be swapped to optimize things and get rid of hard bottlenecks that would hold my new components back. Also, I don't know if I should look into an aftermarket cooler for my Ryzen or additional fans for my case, and if so which ones.

    Provide any additional details you wish below.

    For RAM, I've heard that the Ryzen 5 3600X really benefits from good RAM so I want to make sure I get something that'll help me get the most from it.

    I'd like 3200-3600 MHz with a CL of 14-16. I think a 3200 CL14 would be great, but I'm unsure and would like to find a brand that plays well with my motherboard and CPU.

    I was looking at this G.SKILL Flare X Series 3200 MHz 14CL. It seems nice and I've read that it has B-die chips and that works really well with Ryzen, no clue what that is though.

    Would I be better off getting a higher MHz card with higher latency and adjusting the timings on it? I'm hesitant as I know literally nothing about that.

    I'm considering the 5700 XT for GPU, not sure which aftermarket company I should go with (I believe that's what it is, I'm a bit of a novice to all of this).

    The only thing that concerns me about the 5700XT is this quote from userbenchmark.

    "Out of the box the reference 5700 XT has high burst speeds but under load it overheats and therefore drops frames to the extent that it is more or less unusable for demanding games".

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you in advance for any help.

    No Signal to Monitor

    Posted: 12 Dec 2019 12:39 PM PST

    Hello, before I start, here are my specifications:

    CPU: Intel Core i5-9400F 2.9 GHz 6-Core Processor

    Motherboard: MSI B360M PRO-VDH Micro ATX LGA1151 Motherboard

    Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 8 GB (2 x 4 GB) DDR4-2666 Memory

    Storage: ADATA SU630 240 GB 2.5" Solid State Drive

    Storage (2): Toshiba P300 1 TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive

    Video Card: PowerColor Radeon RX 570 8 GB Video Card

    Case: Cooler Master MasterBox Q300L MicroATX Mini Tower Case

    Power Supply: Cooler Master MasterWatt 550 W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-modular ATX Power Supply

    Not sure if this is TMI, but anyway..

    I just finished building this PC, it's my first ever build and I'm pretty happy with it. I press the power button and everything appears to be in order, the fans turn on and the motherboards LED lights up.

    However, I check my screen and see that it says "No Signal".

    Now the first thing I thought of was that well, my CPU doesn't have integrated graphics, and my HDMI cable was plugged into the CPU, so I thought that was the problem. I plugged my HDMI cable into my GPU. Still, no signal.

    Now when I check my GPU while my PC is on, I notice the fans aren't running. I'm not sure if this is a sign that it's not working or if that it's one of those cards that don't turn on the fans unless you're doing some intensive.

    I've tried plugging out the GPU and plugging it back in, plugging out the PCI-E port, unplugging it from the power supply, and I can't seem to get it to show any video.

    I should mention that I'm not using a proper monitor, atleast I don't think. I'm using a Hanspree TV because I don't have a monitor that supports HDMI or DVI. Not sure if this would have anything to do with it.

    Thanks for reading, hopefully some of you can help. Sorry if I'm doing this wrong, this is my first time here.

    Good 1080p/1440p monitor under 350?

    Posted: 12 Dec 2019 11:09 AM PST

    I have a Ryzen 1600x (Upgrading to 3600 soon), GTX 1080 and 32gb of ram. I'm not sure if I should get a 1440p 144hz or 1080p 144hz since I'm not sure how many frames I'll lose to upgrade to 1440p. I play halo reach, escape from tarkov, cs:go and a lot of shooters so having less input lag is ideal and more frames too. Vesa mount is a must.

    Basically, what's a good monitor under 350$ whether it be 1080p or 1440p that has nice colors and 144hz minimum?Especially one that is known for reliability? I'm willing to also go to 240hz as well.

    Thank in advance!

    Build Help:

    Have you read the sidebar and rules? (Please do)

    Yes

    What is your intended use for this build? The more details the better.

    I am using this as a D&D computer for the campaign I am DMing. What I mean by that is I will be using it as a soundboard, having my notes up, pulling up pictures on a TV, drawing and editing pictures in Photoshop and Paint Tools Sai. The other important thing I will be using it for is one of my players who is out of state and they will be video-calling in through Discord.

    If gaming, what kind of performance are you looking for? (Screen resolution, framerate, game settings)

    NA

    What is your budget (ballpark is okay)?

    $700ish, but would not complain if we could get the price lower.

    In what country are you purchasing your parts?

    US

    Provide any additional details you wish below.

    I am mostly concerned that I am going a little overboard with the GPU and Motherboard, and could use something else, even just a CPU with integrated graphics, like a Ryzen 5 3400G. My only concern then is that Photoshop wont run well. I just want to make sure it runs well and the GPU supports 2 monitors, hopefully through HDMI or DVI. Also, I want to build it in the Mini-ITX case I listed so it will have to fit inside.

    Edit: Forgot to mention I can get Win 10 Education from school for free, so no need to purchase as OS.

    Did i outdo it, or am i doing it wrong?

    Posted: 12 Dec 2019 11:42 AM PST

    Hey guys, i'm running a r7 1700 (3.8oc atm) on a b350 gaming 3 for the past couple of months already, but i've always been concerned about the RAM timings on my PC. always had problems with the XMP profile.

    I'm using the Corsair CMK16GX4M2B3000C15 (2 sticks, 8 gigs each, 3000mhz)

    i just saw a YT video (LTT) about some program called "DRAM Calculator for Ryzen" so i thought 'why not give it a shot?'

    so i've looked online, downloaded something called "Thaipoon burner" to get some info about my ram and input it correctly, and i don't know if i'm running the sticks better than what they suggested, or if it's worse.

    there's the RAM info:

    but these are my settings (RED for the 'recommended', blue is what i'm running right now):

    http://prntscr.com/qa0lmd

    i remember i read over here on reddit about someone who managed to run the same ram & motherboard as me on CL14 and gave it a shot. it worked properly, so i left it as that (put 14-17-17-35 instead of 15-17-17-35)

    should i switch to the recommended settings by the program? are the settings i'm running right now any better than what's recommended? am i killing the system in the last 2 months with these settings? any recommendations from the pros on here would really help me out. (sorry for the english, not my main language)

    thanks!

    Planning to upgrade from an 11 year old i7-920 rig to this big boy, Thoughts?

    Posted: 12 Dec 2019 12:44 PM PST

    Build Help/Ready:

    Finished up hunting sales and saving up for this build over the last two months, planning on eventually getting a 1440p 144hz monitor for it to drive. How did I do?

    It's main use will be gaming, although I also occasionally browse the web and will be learning to code more. Planning on doing some strong overclocks and possibly upgrading the CPU/mobo in 2-3 years when necessary.

    If gaming, what kind of performance are you looking for? (Screen resolution, framerate, game settings)

    1440p 144hz as high as possible

    In what country are you purchasing your parts?

    USA
