| Posted: 01 Mar 2021 07:07 AM PST For the past week and a half I've been hearing a grinding noise when I turn on my PC which only lasts for a second. I've been thinking it's my PSU fan, and everything is brand new so I was kinda worried. I've held off on investigating it since I was a bit busy, but last night when I was about to return it and get another PSU I finally did a thorough investigation. When I put my ear close to the PSU and turned on my PC, the sound wasn't even coming from it. It was coming from somewhere else. I tried loosening the screws on my HDD, but that wasn't it either. It was my new Xbox controller I got a week and a half ago which vibrates on start up, and happens to sit right next to my PC case where the PSU is... [link] [comments]  |
| Getting 50 FPS LESS than i did 3 years ago when i first got my 1070 Posted: 28 Feb 2021 09:23 AM PST Recently ive been getting drops in FPS in rocket league and Bannerlord and even crashes related to GPU stress. No idea what can happened or if i've turned a magic 'turn my pc to shit' button somewhere but last 2/3 months my PC is running so baly when playing games. Did a Heaven Benchmark test in 2019 got 89fps average everything on extreme, just did one and got 41fps on average! Specs: Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4790K CPU @ 4.00GHz, 4001 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 8 Logical Processor(s) RAM: 16.0 GB GPU: 1070 founders edition Two SSDs, Plenty of power spare from the PSU, All drivers up to date Kind of embarrassing because im a computer technician by day trade but cannot figure out why my own computer is running badly. Feel free to talk to me like im a 3 year old because thats how i feel Edit: Going to take people advised, take the CPU off reapply thermal paste, Re-seat the ram and give it a general clean (Although i do clean it on the reg). Will update if it helps Edit 2: CPU cooler was slightly off one of the pins had split, tried to fix but cannot get it back on so looks like going to have to get new pins as it's loose by 1mm when sitting on top tbe CPU [link] [comments]  |
| Just ordered Corsair 4000D Airflow case does it really have a good airflow? Posted: 01 Mar 2021 03:49 AM PST Just ordered Corsair 4000D Airflow case does it really have a good airflow? I mean the GPU temp or CPU for anyone have this case share me ur temps it'll help me <3 [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 01 Mar 2021 06:10 AM PST Built my PC yesterday and everything worked fine. This morning I turned my pc on and it flickered to a black screen and said "force update video drivers" and then went black again, it repeated this every 30 seconds. I tried setting the pcle port to Gen3, another power cable for the 3060, removing the card and reinstalling it, removing all drivers with DDU and clean installing them again, I also removed the device from device manager and then reinstalled the drivers again. It also says in device manager "the device was disabled because of a problem" and task manager or the RGB software doesn't detect the GPU. Anyone have ideas? Thanks in advance! [link] [comments]  |
| Help- 3900x, H100iv2, 80C temps at idle??? Posted: 01 Mar 2021 11:53 AM PST So, I just upgraded my system to a 3900x with a new X570 Taichi board, and all seemed running fine- I built it 2 days ago. I finally downloaded RyzenMaster and when I opened it up, it said my CPU temps were at 80c! I looked at the temps back when I threw it back together, and they were perfectly fine. I added a tiny dab more thermal paste, to no avail. It's not even overclocked. Is there anything in the world I could be doing wrong here? Is there a specific way to hook up an AIO on this motherboard? Could this CPU be defective? [link] [comments]  |
| After almost 1.5 years of using my PC I discovered DC mode for fans Posted: 01 Mar 2021 05:52 AM PST TL;DR: If you use PWM mode for your case fans and they run very fast on minimal settings, check the DC mode. Remember all those posts about people that thought their monitors/GPUs topped at 60FPS because they didn't unlock them, or 3200MhZ RAM set to 2133MhZ because they didn't set up the XMP profile? Well, here's a third option: relying on idiotic ASRock PWM setting. I tried to silence my fans and noticed that something is off with my Noctua NF-A20. It could spin as low as 350RPM, but mine kept spinning at 800RPM, no matter if it was set to 40% or to 1%. The temps were nice, but the noise was something else. My fiancee learned to sleep in noise cancellers because of that. Well, I was talking about it with my buddy and he initially thought that the fan is faulty. Then I tried some fan controlling software, to no avail (using PWM). At that point, he suggested DC mode. I tried it and bam! Down to 450RPM from 800RPM. I adjusted exhaust and CPU as well and now I can barely hear my PC. PS: ASRock's PWM fan control sucks fat, dirty, sand-ridden, greasy bearings. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 01 Mar 2021 03:27 AM PST it is a prebuilt i5 10400f + a 1660super that I added a 2 terabyte hdd to and a new 80+ power supply.

| Question on upgrading CPU and possibly GPU - or which would impact the most (gaming) Posted: 01 Mar 2021 02:29 PM PST Hey guys! I'm looking for advice on whether I should upgrade my existing CPU and if my current GPU would actually benefit gaming. It's quite possible my GPU is such a bottleneck that upgrading CPU wouldn't make much difference, but I wanted to ask you guys if that's correct or not. Existing setup:
My goal is to run games at 1080p at 60 fps with mostly high settings. Right now that's not possible, only I don't know if the bottleneck is the CPU or my GPU, or both. I can do 1080p 60 fps with low to medium settings for most games though. Any help is appreciated and you've my thanks in advance. EDIT: Seems like the Ryzen 5 3600 is my best bet, so I will likely start with that! CHeers [link] [comments]  |
| Best 144hz minitor? (offline gaming) Posted: 01 Mar 2021 03:36 PM PST I enjoy RDR2 Story mode and im only care about picture quality (not response time or other things like this which isn't important in offline gaming) [link] [comments]  |
| Is there a way to make CPU minimum processor state below 100%? Posted: 01 Mar 2021 03:33 PM PST I know this is a stupid question, because there IS a way, but for me It doesn't work. I tried going in the high performance power plans setting, and changing it to 10% but it was still stuck on 100% when i monitored it. My problem is that the CPU runs hot on idle. It must be a power plan setting I'm missing, because with power saving my temps are 37C and with high performance its 50C. Is there a way or some powerplan settings, where I could have low temps, when I don't do intensive stuff, while still getting the max performance when it's needed? (R5 5600x) [link] [comments]  |
| Why is everyone telling me to get a B550 motherboard over a B450? Posted: 28 Feb 2021 09:47 PM PST |
| Posted: 01 Mar 2021 03:05 PM PST So if I changed my motherboard would there be anything I need to do before switching it like deleting the drivers for the old one? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 01 Mar 2021 08:34 AM PST I got an intel i5 10600k with a z590 a Strix motherboard for 300 dollars and I saw people making fun of intel should I return it and get AMD instead? [link] [comments]  |
| Need Help with RAM configs for PC Posted: 01 Mar 2021 04:39 PM PST Hello, good people of Reddit., So I'm very confused about RAM compatibility and the such. I've checked the compatible RAM for both my motherboard and my CPU and just can't find them. I have a Ryzen 5 2600 and an X570 Aorus Elite Mobo. Once I bought my mobo I bought some new RAM thinking you only needed the mobo to say it can run at a certain speed and not the CPU as well. Big dumbo moment. So I returned the 4400mhz RAM (i know lol) and have been very scared to purchase a new RAM kit since as I'm just so very very confused on what'll work on my config. The RAM i currently have is the Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB 2666Mhz c16 (CMK16GX4M2A2666C16). No matter what I try it remains at 2133 in the Task Manager and CPUz. I know that it may not actually be that speed but on my old mobo a B450m Pro Vdh MSI it showed the 2666 speed in the task manager. And yes I do have the XMP enabled. Im just looking for suggestions on kits that'll be compatible with my board and CPU. I should mention most of the compatible listed kits on the mobo site were unavailable on Amazon Canada. Our Amazon sucks lol [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 01 Mar 2021 04:38 PM PST I've been dealing with artifacting for months. Couldn't buy a new gpu because of the shortage. I never figured a damn $5 cable would cause so many issues. [link] [comments]  |
| Wtf is is this tiny ass fan header? Posted: 01 Mar 2021 09:45 AM PST It's smaller then the rest and I can't fit my fan connector in it. I'm stupid, there was an adapter for it in the box. Thank you!😅 [link] [comments]  |
| 3900X + asus TUF gaming 3080. Is corsair RM650X enough? Posted: 01 Mar 2021 04:30 PM PST I have ordered a RTX3080 in september and back then everyone was like "yeah 650 is more than enough cause it's a high quality one and you have an AMD instead of intel." 5 months later, still not close to receiving my 3080, im still wondering if it is possible, now that numerous people have received their GPU's. Is my PSU big enough? (im not planning on overclocking or anything.) please help me [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 01 Mar 2021 04:30 PM PST Hello, my AIO fan has been particulary noisy and now slow, is this something that can be solved with oil? or do i need to start looking for a replacement? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 01 Mar 2021 03:57 AM PST Over the weekend I was playing a game, when my PC reset itself. It is quite an old machine, and it came back on, but all displays were dead. I am currently able to run it through the mobo on integrated graphics, but this is less than ideal. The card is 4 years old or so, and is a Sapphire Radeon RX 480 Nitro 8GB. I was hoping it would last a bit longer, at least until the current dearth of chips was over and I could have a full revamp of the pc but I think it may have played its last game. I have unseated the graphics card and replaced it, as well as changing over modular powercables. The card can draw power, as its RGB lights are on, but no display is occuring on any monitor I try it with. It is also not currently showing up under any of my system settings. Am I shit out of luck with a blown card, or is there anything else I can try to revive it? Any help gratefully received [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 01 Mar 2021 02:11 PM PST Hey all, I just got done installing my CPU and cooling fan with thermal paste. I noticed that some was seeping out of two sides just a bit, like in this picture I took: https://imgur.com/gallery/HtBKtla Is this a big deal? Should I redo it? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 01 Mar 2021 11:16 AM PST I thought it would be so easy to pick one but the more I look at it the more confusing it is!!! It would be a bonus if you can switch out the design for a better look (if the current key caps are ugly) To be honest I hate colorful lighting I like all white better HOWEVER if the keys are very tactile and quiet I can forgive that. I just want to type in peace without making mistakes every 10 seconds.... I'm on budget, college programmer. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 01 Mar 2021 04:12 PM PST I'm thinking of getting an O11-Mini and was wondering how to best cool it since I've heard it isn't great with only air cooling [link] [comments]  |
| Is it bad to run two monitors? Posted: 01 Mar 2021 01:55 PM PST I don't know why but whenever I have my 2nd monitor plugged in I feel like I'm pushing my pc. Should I worry? [link] [comments]  |
| How do you overclock RAM and is it safe to do so? Posted: 01 Mar 2021 12:16 PM PST So I heard you can overclock RAM. Currently I have 2400mhz but my motherboard supports up to 2666mhz so I was wondering if I could overclock it. Do you need specific RAM to be able to overclock? I currently have corsair vengance 2400mhz C16 RAM. Any help would be nice. [link] [comments]  |
