| Posted: 28 Sep 2020 09:55 PM PDT I'm hunting for good deals on GPUs to build my new system and everything is so fucking expensive that I am super frustrated and reading something like this makes me LOL. ps. the GPU is - Zotac 2060 twin - https://www.amazon.in/GeForce-192-bit-Graphics-IceStorm-ZT-T20600F-10M/dp/B07MBKKQPW [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 29 Sep 2020 07:02 AM PDT So where i live, a 3070 is around $710, and i can get a new 2070 super for $520. I currently don't have a functioning system, and it is quite frustrating (i use it for school and work aswell). The only demanding game i'm looking at for the next few months is Cyberpunk, but i don't need to max out rtx etc. I do have a 144hz 1440p monitor, and i realize that the 3070 is much better, but waiting potentially two months is an issue for me. I tried ordering the 3080, and it's set for delivery in november (if that is actually true). If i can run Cyberpunk at high settings 1440p without rtx i'd be fine. I'd like to wait for the others, but i can't really figure out if the wait is really worth it. Especially considering the annoyances of doing all productivity on my laptop, which is non-optimal. Someone just make a decision for me please. [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 29 Sep 2020 11:44 AM PDT I recently embarrassingly got a screw snapped off into my motherboard while trying to install an m.2 ssd drive. Now that the screw is stuck in the motherboard I can't screw down the ssd onto the motherboard. Is there anyway I would be able to secure the ssd cause I really don't want my only other alternative to be "replace the motherboard". Any suggestions?

| First build / Covid project complete! Meet Voorhees (3080 frame slasher) Posted: 29 Sep 2020 08:48 AM PDT Firstly, thank you so much to this awesome & supportive community! This is my very first build. I've been wanting a gaming PC for years and finally decided Covid was the right time to go for it. Got a little creative with some spray paint, vertical GPU orientation, and a 5" stat screen. For the record, I did not use a bot or buy from a scalper for the 3080. Just got really lucky on Wed. the 23rd. And of course, lots of R Pics: Components:

| APC vs. CyberPower UPS review war on Amazon? Posted: 29 Sep 2020 10:20 AM PDT I need a UPS for my new build, and looking at Amazon's options it seems like there's pretty much these two brands to choose from. Nearly all the units they have are rated between 4-4.5 stars. However, the top reviews for the top sellers seem to mostly be 1 star reviews with horror stories about "burning smoke" and "failed during first power outage". https://imgur.com/a/6zC0NRQ Looking elsewhere, searches haven't revealed any other similar complaints from review sites and relevant forums. Comparisons like this one would surely mention potential issues with "smoke" and out-of-the-box unit failures if they were that common, wouldn't they? https://vsearch.com/apc-vs-cyberpower/ I'm definitely getting the feeling this is an Amazon review war going on between the two companies, where they buy each other's units to insure the "verified purchase" tag, then proceed to make stuff up about the units failing in every way possible. Obviously this kind of thing isn't uncommon on Amazon, but I don't remember seeing anything as extreme as this, with a category dominated by two apparently warring companies upping the ante on the severity of their claims. I just don't see how these two companies could stay in business if their units were that prone to complete failure, let alone dominate the market. Can anyone confirm that any of these horror stories have turned out to be real concerns? Or conversely that this is a known/strongly suspected review battle between APC and CyberPower?

| Built a PC and now my whole family thinks I know everything about computers. Posted: 29 Sep 2020 03:46 PM PDT Basically the title, I decided to build a gaming pc during quarantine with my dad and after a month or so of research I built it and everything works properly. However, my entire family now is under the impression that I know all about how computers work. This is not the truth AT ALL. I know where to find things in Windows settings and I know the basic function of the parts of my pc, but I still have no clue what MHz are, what motherboard specs mean, among many other things. I had to call a professional to reinstall windows for me when I got a corrupted system update. I'm by no means a computer whiz. Anyone else experienced this?

| First time PC builder here and does this list make sense? Posted: 29 Sep 2020 02:00 PM PDT https://pcpartpicker.com/list/39Hpjp
Not a big gamer here and have a budget around $1000 (above list slightly exceeds and I'm looking forward to the Prime day). Regarding the video card, I'm considering RTX 2070s or RX 5700-XT or waiting for 3070. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| First Custom Watercooled Loop PC Help Posted: 29 Sep 2020 04:11 PM PDT Okay, so I have built a few PCs in the past (and y'all have helped immensely), but it has been 4 years since my old build (i7-5820k + 980) and I am looking to make a new build. I have wanted to do a custom loop for a long time and finally decided to. With too many choices of components, I found a picture I want to base my build off of. I also decided to add in some white accents like the Case, RAM, and PSU. Here is my list so far, without the watercooling stuff (tubes/fittings/rads/pump/res): A few questions I have that maybe you guys could help me with:
Sorry for all the questions but you guys have been a great help to me before and any advice/recommendations would be appreciated :)) [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 29 Sep 2020 07:45 AM PDT Can someone explain me what is going on. I wanted to build a pc but pc prices seems to be up. I'm referring to the European market I saw component like an rx580 go to € 182 I know this isn't the American market but this seems high. What is the best course of action for someone who wants to build a pc. What components are the most affected by the situation we have ourselves in?

| Getting only 2 out of 4TB on HHD? Posted: 29 Sep 2020 12:23 PM PDT As the title suggests, I built a PC back in May and bought a 4TB HHD but just realized I've only got 2TB available. I did some digging and saw one of the only ways for me to reformat would be to convert to GPT, but in order to do that I would need to wipe my hard drive? I've got almost a TB of data on there and don't really want to delete it to access the rest of my hard drive.. Would it be better to just get like an extra TB or two and transfer it over and then wipe it, or is there another way around it without having to spend the extra money or delete everything? Hopefully someone can help me out, and sorry if this is the wrong place for it I just figured it would be a good place to start. [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 29 Sep 2020 09:28 AM PDT Will this work parts list Ive heard that this minister won't work with my pc if that's true do you mind recommending any around the same price? And also tell me what other things I should change? [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Pc keeps freezing with new build. Posted: 29 Sep 2020 03:51 PM PDT I recently got a new PC case as well as a new CPU and power supply and all of a sudden my PC keeps freezing and become unresponsive while I'm running something like Google or Discord. Everything in the background seems to still be working like razor synapse because my keyboard keeps lighting up as well as my mouse. I have not had it freeze during a game which is confusing to me as a game is more demanding than Google chrome. I upgraded from a Ryzen 5 1500X to a Ryzen 5 3600X. According to MSI dragon center my CPU doesn't get above 60° C but it still freezes. I don't know what the issue was here and any help would be very much appreciated.

| Posted: 29 Sep 2020 03:51 PM PDT Micro Center is a 1.5 hour drive from me. I plan to go there twice. First to get an idea of what I want and take everything in, and the next time to get everything I want. Seeing as it's a 3 hour round trip, can I go there expecting a lot of help or am I going to run into high pressures sales and I should read up as much as I can before driving there to understand exactly what I want?

| What's going on with the lian li lancool 2 price? Posted: 29 Sep 2020 11:42 AM PDT The lancool 2 is pretty famous having been reviewed as the best performance/price case since they released their mesh version. However, in the past few days, I've noticed the newegg and amazon price for this case has skyrocketed to 170-200 dollars compared to the price at my local microcenter which is 100. Is this specific case really being price-fixed? [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Moving from console to pcs does this list make sense? Posted: 29 Sep 2020 03:29 AM PDT PCPartPicker Part List](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/vyJtx6)
I'm planning on playing 1440p at 60fps is this rig strong enough (i don't know much about computers or anything computer related) Please read this before commenting My final rig :Ryzen 7 3700x since it's cores are good for my animating and video editing also heard that 32gb ram is the minimum for Animating and video editing also i will stick with a 2070 super since for some reasons all the 2070's are more expensive than the 2070 super Also removed the hdd for an ssd i changed it up based on comments [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Can I use this cpu with my mainboard? Posted: 29 Sep 2020 04:51 PM PDT I want to upgrade my old Prozessor (i5 7400) with an newer one (i7 8700k). I think that I have a very outdated mainboard (msi h110m eco) but with the right socket for the new CPU. It's also compatible with i3/i5/i7 but only 6. generation - according to their website. Is it possible to use this combination? Or do I need an better mainboard? Thanks in advance. [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Will I have any issue putting a motherboard from a Dell Optiplex 790 onto a 3rd party case? Posted: 29 Sep 2020 04:47 PM PDT So I'm planning on sending a bunch of old PCs to recycle center because I need to make space in the storage room and server room. Some of those include Dell Optiplex 790 desktop towers and small form factors. A lot of them have busted PSUs, so I'm mainly reusing the motherboard from one of the SFF and i5-2400 CPU, and transplanting it onto a spare mid-tower case I have at home. Will I have any issue with the motherboard's compatibility with an ATX case, or just issues in general? [link] [comments]  |
