| Computer keeps randomly rebooting/restarting (ASUS TUF Gaming X570-PLUS (WIFI)) Posted: 25 Feb 2021 05:24 AM PST Experiencing random reboot / freezes when playing games like CSGO, Overwatch etc. on sorta-high settings like normal settings. Used to be BSOD with WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR with old RAM, that was not compatible with my Motherboard, but still occurs when playing CSGO for a long duration (recently occurred). BIOS Version: 3405 Note that I had to BIOS flash my motherboard for it to be compatible with my CPU and wasn't when it came out of the box Current specs: Old RAM (Incompatible with Motherboard): Corsair VENGEANCE LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4 3600MHz Troubleshooting:
More information about the reboots: The new RAM I bought a couple of days ago was on the QVL List for memory from Asus directly so it isn't another compatibility issue (the difference is obvious where the old RAM would crash during windows start up and a first run of CSGO). I have read in some threads about the same rebooting issue and that downgrading to Bios Version 2812 has fixed this error and was wondering how to downgrade Bios Versions on Asus, cause it isn't quite easy. Any help would be great, thanks. Edit: Added current BIOS Version and some more information regarding the flashing of it Another Edit: Added information regarding a MemTest86 run I did prior before this post Another Edit Again: Added CPU Cooler specifications Yep It's that time again, Edit: Added Case specifications [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Do you think I (13 years old) can build a pc? Posted: 25 Feb 2021 11:46 AM PST I am currently using an HP Envy PC which has like 4 cores, integrated graphics, and 8 gb of ram. I've started making money editing videos on Fiverr, and I am now in the market for a new system. I use Davinci Resolve 17 for my editing. I have about 1500 or so to spend including the monitor. My question is, do you think I can build my own PC? I'd prefer to build my own because I can fix it later on if I need to. It would also be easier to upgrade. I've fixed my drone before and I have decent technical knowledge. I also know what parts I need and all that. (besides the gpu because of current prices.) I think I could do it but I'd like to get a second opinion before spending a ton of money. Thanks [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Is it even possible to build a PC anymore? Posted: 25 Feb 2021 10:30 AM PST Been trying to get a GPU for about 2 months now. Struck out on the 3060 drop today. Is it even possible for a human to get a GPU at a decent price anymore? [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Posted: 25 Feb 2021 12:09 PM PST Let me preface this by acknowledging my incredible amount of privilege to have GPU stock problems be a big issue in my life, this post is pure whine. After today's pitifully abyssal restock and 3060 drop, I'm giving up on getting a 3000 series NVIDIA card. Scalpers and miners have run this entire process, one that should be exciting and rewarding, into the ground becoming a fucked up cycle of wasted efforts, disappointment, and complete annoyance at the lack of fucks NVIDIA gives towards its run-of-the-mill consumers. Not only that, but I can't even grab a 5 YEAR OLD CARD that isn't hundreds of dollars overpriced in the second-hand market (thanks, miners). Unfortunately, there is almost no way to hold NVIDIA accountable for its complete botching of a GPU series launch. I'll be waiting eight months for next-gen, but who the hell knows how THAT will go. Again, this is the epitome of "first-world problems," but I have a fully-built machine I worked hard to build without the core component that'll allow me to truly use it. Just wanted to vent a bit, I know a whole lot of others are in a similar boat as I am.

| Posted: 25 Feb 2021 02:48 PM PST I turned on my pc and chrome opened. The only issue was that I never installed it. I use Firefox. When I went to uninstall it, it said that it had been installed today. I don't know how that's possible since I haven't touched to pc in two days, and it didn't update or anything when I turned it on. Why did that happen? Any help is appreciated. I uninstalled it, but from what I understand, it still leaves files behind. Is there any way to locate and remove them? Thanks.

| Appreciation Post for my RX 480 Posted: 25 Feb 2021 02:42 AM PST Just amazing how much I'm able to squeeze out of it. I recently finished playing AC Valhalla on High/Medium settings at 1512p/30FPS (at least when it wasn't stuttering due to poor optimisation on Ubisoft's part). It blows my mind that people usually upgrade every 2 years, while this card is more than 4 YEARS OLD and is still holding up. I think I can definitely wait for that RX 6000/ RTX 3000 card.

| Can anyone help me to get what's the max RAM speed for my Motherboard? Posted: 25 Feb 2021 02:26 PM PST Hi!, googling my motherboard model I found these pages: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/fztCmG/asus-motherboard-h87mpluscsm And found out that my motherboard support DDR3 RAM and the Max its 32GB but I cant find anywhere how to check whats the max RAM speed that it supports. I found that in one of those pages it says something like this: *Memory Speed
What does that means? Thanks all in advance! Edit: SOLVED!, thank you all! [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 1 x 16GB RAM vs 2 x 16 GB RAM - how much will it improve gaming experience? Posted: 25 Feb 2021 05:18 AM PST Hi all, First time building a PC, so would like to hear the thoughts of reddit's wisest souls on this. I opted for a 1 x 16GB DDR4 3200 MHz RAM for my build as I bought from CEX (second-hand electronics chain in the UK) instead of a 2 x 8GB as I was worried about the compatibility between the two sticks. This lets me run AC Odyssey at ~ 65 fps on Medium settings. I am therefore thinking about making a quick upgrade to my PC - cheapest I can think of is adding an extra 16GB of RAM so I can benefit from increased total RAM AND with it being dual channel. Would this have any substantial effect on the gaming performance of my build? I'm running: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 NVIDIA GTX 1070 1 X 16GB DDR4 3200 MHz Corsair Vengeance NVME M.2 SSD 1TB TL;DR: 1 x16GB RAM vs 2 x 16GB RAM, much gaming improvement? Thanks in advance!

| A friendly reminder to be very careful when removing AMD stock cooler Posted: 25 Feb 2021 09:43 AM PST I've got Ryzen 5 3600 on B450 Tomahawk board. Today I was doing some general maintenance, and I decided to be completely thorough and remove the CPU cooler, too. I read somewhere that the pre-applied thermal paste on the stock cooler can harden a lot over time which makes it hard to remove the cooler. So, I decided to melt it a little and let OCCT run for about 15 minuted with all fans but the cooler itself unplugged. Even so the temperature stabilised at about 87 Celsius, so I stopped the cooler for a minute, too, and let it get nice and toasty. Then I quickly turned the computer off and tried to remove the cooler. I bloody ended up ripping the CPU right out of the socket. The CPU might as well have been welded to the cooler for how strong it held. Thankfully no pins were bent and the socket survived it, too. But it took me about an hour off very careful application of isopropyl alcohol and brute force to get the thing to unstick. So, if you ever deicide to remove your stock cooler, too, be very careful for (at least) the first time.

| Please check my build before I order the parts Posted: 25 Feb 2021 07:30 AM PST Hi there! So, this is the first PC I'm going to build and I would be grateful for a second pair of eyes. PcPartpicker and my (limited) knowledge say that all parts are compatible, but both aren't necessarily correct. I will add a GPU once prices have calmed down, but I need to build right now for work (hence the integrated GPU). And I will also add a WiFi 6 PCIe card, but I'm still searchung for one. The PC will be used for office work, photo and video editing, digital art and casual gaming (and games such as Witcher 3 once I add a GPU). I'm buying the parts in Austria. Pcpartpicker doesn't list my country, so the prices below are inaccurate. I can get all parts for 690€ (including shipping). What I'm unsure about is the motherboard. I know 600W is way too much right now, but will it still be too much once I add a GPU? Thanks a lot in advance!

I need something thatll be able to stream games no problem on high settings as well as basic editing.

What're your thoughts LMK) Basically, how well do you think this will run while streaming and is it a solid upgrade?

| Posted: 25 Feb 2021 08:31 AM PST I previously posted about a laptop-to-desktop conversion. Update- I did it without buying anything extra!

| Posted: 25 Feb 2021 11:28 AM PST Hello, I have an ASUS ROG GL553V laptop with an intel core i7, 7th gen and wanted to upgrade my RAM. I was looking at some hyperX Impact 16 GB DDR4 2666MHz (2 x 8 GB) but I am relatively new to tinkering with my pc and have some doubts. Are those hyperX RAM good?? And is there any compatibility problems with my processor being older (7th gen)?? Or do you have a suggestion for better RAM options I can buy if my budget is 100 dollar???
