| I would like to thank you all about helping others because it saved mine too. Posted: 24 Mar 2021 05:52 AM PDT While I was just a lurker here and sometimes read about pc problems which I didnt expect that it would be too useful to me. My PC has just experienced the same thing as someone who has a rat peed on their GPU, in my case I wasn't using that PC for a week and when I came to use it, won't boot up, opening the PC I saw that there are small bits of paper inside it and the GPU is wet which is half dry including the pins which has some green thing on them. Then I remember all the advice you all made about others who experienced the same, which I immediately cleaned it throughly then waited about a day to use it, and it worked that is why I am grateful to all of you who helped others and making someone like me avoid mistakes early on. Honestly I don't want to break my PC because it was the money I saved up using my launch money on 2019 and completed all the parts early 2020, I don't have parts to spare and the GPU I bought in was RX 580 the fastest GPU I can afford with my launch money which I saved up for a few months, losing it now plus lockdown means that I cant buy a part after covid subsided or until I found a job as a student. So for me I am truly grateful for all of you, without your advice here It would probably be too late before I found a solution to it. [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 24 Mar 2021 06:07 AM PDT Hey fellas, I build myself a complete system two months ago. Gaming with and working on it was a complete blast and I had nothing to complain about. But yesterday during my daily gaming routine, my screen went black and the RGB on my Gigabyte RTX 3090 stopped working. I tried rebooting but still my screen kept black. Luckily I still had an old GTX 930 from my old system to try if my system works fine with a different GPU and yeah it did. So thats it.. my RTX 3090 is dead and now I have to send it in for repairing, hoping that I'll get it back soon. Wish me luck :( [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| A simple question: Ryzen 7 2700x or Ryzen 5 3600? Posted: 24 Mar 2021 10:30 AM PDT Im going to make a new pc pretty soon and i got everything i need except the CPU i can either take the R7 2700X or the R5 3600 (In my country they only have a 10$ difference so i don't care about which one is cheaper.) I'm planning on using my computer for gaming mostly so yeah thats about it. [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 24 Mar 2021 06:15 AM PDT I have GTX 1070, ryzen 5 1600 that I've built and I've had for the past 2 years. Yesterday I inserted a damaged USB into a USB slot on the PC. Literal flame and black smoke came from the cable where there was live wire and I immediately removed it. I wasn't paying attention and didnt realize it was so badly damaged beforehand. I unplugged everything, waited a while and booted up the PC. It seemed fine at first but eventually my browser freezes each time. And if I attempt to boot up games like CS or Valorant, the pc instantly freezes. I sense my computer is permanently bricked. Any help or suggestions are appreciated. Thanks.

| Posted: 24 Mar 2021 03:02 PM PDT Im torn. I bought a 1080p 165Hz monitor when i built my PC last year and its great, but i have a 3070 now so 1440 seems like the right move. I work on this monitor as well so higher res will also benefit that(although framerate doesn't matter there) After countless research, I cant decide if i want to spend the extra dough to ramp up to 240Hz now that more brands are putting out these panels in 1440. To anyone who's made this change from 144 or 165 to 240, can you truly notice a difference? Is the price justified of almost double that of a 1440 165Hz monitor? Someone please convince me to spend either $350 or $700 on this decision lol [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Best way to transport a PC a short distance? Posted: 24 Mar 2021 11:35 AM PDT I would like to take my computer tower to a Best Buy that is like 10 miles away, but I want to know the best/safest way to transport it (positioning, packaging, etc.). I do still have the box and the two foam sides that come in it, btw. [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 23 Mar 2021 11:16 PM PDT Because the GPU market is having a pretty bad shortage, and now that I am able to build my first PC, it will probably be extremely difficult for me to be able to get one of the new cards. So I have considered buying the other parts (CPU, motherboard, etc) for my PC build now and I'll use my current GPU (GTX 1060 6gb) from my computer (upgraded prebuilt from 2016) for it until I have a RTX 3070. Is this a good idea or should I just wait until I am able to get a 3070, and then buy the other parts? Sorry if I asked a bad question, this is my first build.

| Is it even worth building a PC right now or just buy a prebuild? Posted: 24 Mar 2021 12:32 PM PDT I'm new here, I need a new PC for grad research and was going to build one for the first time, but with the market for GPU's so messed up I'm wondering if I should just buy a prebuilt pc and swap out components later when everything goes back to normal. Is this a good idea, or should I just bite the bullet and spend a chunk of money on a GPU? This was the sort of build I was thinking of going with https://pcpartpicker.com/list/J7TPdD [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 24 Mar 2021 11:10 AM PDT So i have the rx 5700 xt and it has been running fine until recently when i have started getting just random drops of fps to like 60 for couple of seconds. it also doesnt run anything over 165 fps it just caps it there. any fixes?

| Posted: 24 Mar 2021 12:22 PM PDT I bought an nvidia 1050ti graphics card, fairly cheap but not ridiculously so, fella seemed trustworthy and let me pay via PayPal, nvidia drivers will not install (black screen midway through install and only way to fix seems to be rebooting PC), and GPU-Z shows this... have I been scammed or am I doing something wrong? THANKS IN ADVANCE [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 24 Mar 2021 10:57 AM PDT Used both. upgraded from 1050 Ti. first got lucky with 3080 - Mainly playing Forza horizon 4, BFV & CS GO. Can't complain. Give it to friend and got 6800 XT yesterday. - Same games. no complain. a little better performance on 1440p in my opinion. YMMV. For Forza on 1080p 144 fps, 3080 used almost 99% GPU all the time barely hitting 140-142 fps, where 6800 XT I played yesterday - 89-90% GPU with 143-144 fps stable. To be honest, both are good. the choice is the extra features you use. I only use for games and CAD software so both are good for me. I do not play games with ray tracing or DLSS so I like 6800 XT as same as 3080. The new 6800 XT software that I use yesterday is surprisingly good (AMD can be pain for drivers sometimes) Hope this helps for your selection.

| Posted: 24 Mar 2021 03:49 PM PDT On Newegg there's a 15 10400f and a 3060 prebuilt for 1299 is this legit and why so cheap? I have a 5700xt and a 3600x I built myself and it was almost 1200 [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 24 Mar 2021 03:14 PM PDT Hey guys, sorry if this is a noobie question... But i was wondering why my gta 4 suffer from frame rate drops on everything very high. I thought this was an old game. Or is my pc not as strong as i thought? Specs: Intel core 19-10940x cpu 64 gig ram Amd radeon 6900xt Thank you [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 24 Mar 2021 03:01 PM PDT Hi all, I have a Zotac 1070 mini that shows error code 43 in windows device manager and gives no display out. Here's what I've tried so far:
The only other thing that I could think of that I haven't tried is putting the card in the oven and I want to leave that as the last resort. Is there anything else that I could try before I cook it? [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| is a GTX 1650 worth it or should i wait(/get a pre-built?) (first build) Posted: 24 Mar 2021 02:55 PM PDT Hello, i've been looking to build a pc for a while and could really use some help! The best gpu's i've found that are available for me in my country and for a price i can pay are the geforce GTX 1650, 1660 and 1660 ti. I would get one of the 1660 but they aren't said to arrive until june 1:st meanwhile the 1650 can come in 2 weeks so i wonder if it's even worth the long time and extra ~100$ or if i should settle for the 1650 one and eventually upgrade? or would the waiting actually be worth it in the end? i've also considered getting a pre-built and just replacing the case and psu because the gpu-hunting is so awful. Could use the opinion of someone who actually knows stuff about this! (the other specs i plan to buy: - amd ryzen 5 3600 - asus rog strix B450-F gaming - corsair vengance lpx 16gb - 500gb ssd - 650W 80+ bronze psu) thank you!

| Question about prebuilts and old storage drives Posted: 24 Mar 2021 02:55 PM PDT Since the pc market is in shambles right now, and prebuilts seem to be the only real option, I was wondering if I would be able to take the drives from my old PC and put them in the new one with no problem, especially the one with Windows on it. Would having two drives with windows on it be a problem or not if only one of them is the boot drive? Also, minor bonus question, my current PC has a 1060 3GB. It's only been used for gaming and some video editing. Would it be worth it to try and sell it off after I got a new prebuilt? Thank you.

| Posted: 24 Mar 2021 12:40 PM PDT I'm in need for 120 AiO for an SFF build. Arctic's offering is great, but too big for my build. [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| First ever build, done everything right but no image is appearing. Posted: 24 Mar 2021 02:28 PM PDT So this is my first ever build, did a shed load of research before hand so I'd know what to do once I had the parts. I have all the hardware installed, everything runs fine, fans come on, all parts working fine but it seems like some parts aren't communicating with each other. Can't enter the BIOS menu as the monitor is stating 'no signal' even when spamming delete or F11. I feel like I've done every troubleshooting option but to no avail. I can't find any other threads or comments boards that have this issue so I'm really lost and would greatly appreciate the help. The most resent thing I've done is use the flash BIOS with new firmware installed on a memory stick after removing the battery of the MOBO. For context my parts are: MOBO: MSI B450 gaming plus max CPU: Ryzen 5 2600X GPU: GeForce gigabyte OC 2060 RAM: Corsair vengeance LPX 2x 8gb 3200 MHz PSU: Corsair TX 650M 650 watt Case: Deepcool Matrexx 55 Memory: Crucial 1TB NVMe M.2 SSD HDD: Seagate Barracuda 2TB I've cleared the CMOS, took out all the parts from the MOBO bar the PSU connections, removed the battery and left it out for a bit, put it back in and done the entire flash BIOS setup, essentially everything that was done in this video: https://youtube.com/watch?v=cU7ZMmSmu20&feature=share I've tried putting the GPU in different PSIe slots, moved the RAM around in different slots, unplugged every cable and replugged back in ensuring they click and are firmly in there. I've tried different monitors, HDMI cables, alternating between the MOBO HDMI and the GPU HDMI slots, putting the HDD and CPU into different slots.... I'm at a complete loss, I've even tried banging my head against a wall but still no luck... If anyone has any ideas at all I would appreciate it so much, I wish I could attach a picture of the inside of my case for further examination [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 24 Mar 2021 11:36 AM PDT Hello im looking for a nice comfy chair (~300€) which should me nice to work and game on pc with. It would be nice if it has something for the feet to lay on and can lean back, maybe swiffle back? And as i was searching the day for infos, i conclude that I am happy about any information to learn and buy the right chair as not even reddit has any top 10 or recommendation for buying a chair like r/HeadphoneAdvice orr/GamingChairAdvice with way to few members. So I would love to push getting a real awesome chair advice :)[link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 24 Mar 2021 01:39 PM PDT I was looking at gpu z after messing with my pc and noticed the memory temperature maxed out at like 94c during a 3dmark test. Im basically wondering what the memory temp is? Is it gpu or ram? And also is this temp too high? [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 24 Mar 2021 11:24 AM PDT Hi as the title says this is my first build that I'm planning to put together. I was just looking for any suggestions or tips on it. I think my only question is if the ryzen 5 5600x is a good fit with an rtx 3080 or if I should upgrade the cpu a step? Also I'm planning to use this mainly for gaming Thank you!! Edit: I am aware of the nightmare of getting your hands on a gpu and plan wait on that first

| Posted: 24 Mar 2021 01:35 PM PDT Hello I am planning to upgrade my pc to the these specs Ryzen 5 3500 16 gb ram Rtx 2060 Super 256 gb ssd external 2tb expansion Will my current 400 watt 80+ platinum be enough? [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 24 Mar 2021 01:31 PM PDT So, though my chances of getting a 6800xt is obviously low, I've been looking at the Sapphire 6800xt, which says is 310mm. I have the Silverstone RV02b-EW case and states it can fit up to 309mm length cards. If, hypothetically I managed to get this card, would the extra mm on the Sapphire really matter and just require some finesse or is the 309 a hard cap and I'm out of luck?

| Posted: 24 Mar 2021 11:11 AM PDT PC randomly shutdown and pressing power button did nothing. I unplugged everything and didxpaperclip test fan spin for 1 second. I spent all day upset and randomly tested it again. PC turned on and instant burning came from gpu. I unplugged gpu and it smells burnt. PC turns on but now no monitor display on integrated graphics. PC turns on with no monitor loading up. What should I do? Could my psu actually be broken despite pc turning on? I'm so depressed i only have my phone to try and fix stuff. If i buy new mobo with i lose all my windows and files? I7 6700k 16gb 980ti Corsair supernova 850 g2 Samsung ssd [link] [comments]  |
