| Why you should Undervolt your GPU. Posted: 03 May 2022 08:11 AM PDT Consider undervolting your GPU. Modern cards keep trying to boost as high as possible, generate a bunch of unnecessary heat, ramp the fans up to dissipate that heat, and end up clocking down slightly when they heat up to equilibrium. With a modest undervolt the performance of your GPU should not change significantly (provided you don't overdo it), and you can significantly reduce heat output by reducing power draw, which in turn makes your fans spin slower, which means a quieter card. A quick "how-to" undervolt on modern Nvidia GPUs (you may need to find a different guide for AMD) 1- Get MSI Afterburner and a GPU benchmark or game. 2- At stock settings, run the benchmark/game for a bit, and see what clock speed your GPU settles at when temperature is stable. Also note down power draw, temperature, fan RPM, and a performance metric (benchmark score / game FPS). 3- In MSI afterburner, open the curve editor. With RTX-30 cards, they normally operate at ~1000mv, so you can start by going down in 25-50mv steps. For example, my card settled on 1905 to 1935 mhz at step 2, so I targeted 1905mhz at 950mv initially. 4- After applying the curve, re-run the same benchmark/game as step 2. See if there was improvements (lower temps, lower RPM) and no significant performance loss. If everything looks good, consider undervolting further by lowering the voltage again another step, and repeat the test. Eventually you'll run into instability. When you do, go back up one step (or two, to be extra safe). EDIT2: Once you're happy with your undervolt, if using Afterburner, don't forget to save it to a profile, and click "Apply at Windows Startup" (the Windows logo on most Afterburner skins). Also set Afterburner to boot with Windows in the settings. Here's an example of a quick undervolt on an RTX 3080:
As you can see, the score different is completely negligible, but temps are down ~4C with the fans running slower, all because the power draw is down ~56W. TL;DR: Lower power draw = less heat generated = lower fan RPM = less noise. Take 20-30 minutes to dial in a stable undervolt [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||
| About to buy this birthday gift for myself Posted: 03 May 2022 10:58 PM PDT https://pcpartpicker.com/list/srL7Rv Any thoughts? It's been many years since I stopped actively keeping up with the PC building community, so I would be grateful to hear about any obvious mistakes. Main requirements were:

| I'm at my wits end. Constant BSOD. Someone help me. I feel I've tried everything. Posted: 03 May 2022 04:49 PM PDT My PC keeps getting BSOD. Namely CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT and WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR. I have checked all drivers are up to date, still BSOD. I have tried to update my Windows as much as I can but it BSOD before it finishes the last few updates. I have tried uninstalling Windows updates to see if that's the issue but it BSOD. Replaced the RAM, replace the CMOS battery. Ran in safe mode. Did a Windows Memory Diagonstics all fine. Did a ram test, all fine. Set my bios to default, BSOD Turned various settings off one at a time in my BIOS like turbo mode, Intel step, visualisation, hyperthreading, adjusting fan speeds and more. No luck. I leave the PC for 5 mins idle, it will BSOD every. Single. Time. Can someone please save me? [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||
| Posted: 04 May 2022 12:27 AM PDT I've been saving some money for a while, but it's not enough to get a new GPU, so I'm thinking of upgrading the CPU first, saw some tests and was impressed with 5600x and i5 12400f. Though I only game on 1080p and they're mostly AAA games that are GPU-intensive. (RDR2, particularly, I can't reach stable 60fps on 1080p medium). The GPU itself can reach 90-99% GPU usage when playing RDR2 (according to MSI afterburner). I've watched some benchmarks of Ryzen 7 1700 vs Ryzen 5 5600X, and Ryzen 7 1700 vs i5 12400F, but they're always paired with either RTX 3080 or 3070ti most of the time, nothing close to my old 1070. I noticed that the RTXs can squish more GPU usage when paired with 5600x or 12400f so that explains the performance increase, but I don't know about my 1070 since I think it's meeting its limits after 6 years So, if I upgrade to either of them, but still keep my 1070, will I see any performance increase? Or should just keep my CPU for now? And no, I don't play CPU-bound games like R6s or Valorant, though I'm sure those games will definitely see an increase in FPS Edit: my motherboard is Gigabyte Ab-350m Gaming 3, it does support 5600x via bios update it seems (I just checked the official site for it) [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||
| Pulled the trigger, hoping buyers remorse fades by the time it gets here! Posted: 02 May 2022 08:04 PM PDT Was still a little iffy on some of the parts but think it'll turn out well. Thanks for your suggestions! [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||
| Posted: 03 May 2022 06:43 PM PDT After being a console gamer for years, I decided to do a PC build. Keen for feedback, I like a clean aesthetic and not that into RGB. The only thing annoying me is the PCI-E power cable for the GPU, any thoughts?

| Are Micro ATX Builds Not That Popular Anymore? Posted: 03 May 2022 06:45 PM PDT Basically what the title says. I'm planning to build my first PC ever using the i5-12400. I've been searching around PC builds and lately, I've seen more and more atx builds rather than micro atx builds. What I was visioning was I plan on putting my PC on the desk right next to my monitor and speakers, though it may not have enough room for a ATX mid size case. Do people still actually build micro-atx PCs nowadays? I've ordered the Corsair 4000d but it may be to large for my setup that I want. Are there still any good micro atx cases that are smaller and have decent airflow? [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||
| Crashes since upgrading to windows 11 and still after reverting to windows 10 Posted: 03 May 2022 11:08 PM PDT Hi, so 2 days ago I upgraded my cpu and mobo and today I decided to upgrade to windows 11. After I did I started noticing weird crashes in all my games and apps like valorant crashing saying my display drivers aren't current but I've updated them in geforce experience and even tried uninstalling then reinstalling them, or chrome crashing, or cinebench crashing etc. Since this only happened after I upgraded to windows 11 I went back to windows 10, but now I'm still having the same issues of the crashes. Is there any way to fix this? I can give any extra info you need, I am ocing to 5ghz on p cores and 4ghz on e cores, but I've tried without ocing and still get these same issues. Here is the list of my build for reference https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Nj628r Edit: To add this is the error I get from Chrome when it crashes STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION and when cinebench crashes its https://i.imgur.com/SjDUeiY.png and valorant https://i.imgur.com/OHs5ew8.png [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||

| The HDD from my first build in 2012/2013 Posted: 03 May 2022 07:29 AM PDT The drive: https://i.imgur.com/dEKXMWr.png This is the 7200 RPM HDD I've been using consistently since my first build in 2012/2013. It's been in every build since and I think it's time to finally let it rest eternally. [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||
| Posted: 03 May 2022 11:08 PM PDT I've had a very annoying issue with my computer for probably about six months now, where it will randomly restart out of nowhere. I have reseated all of my components, and even RMA'd my PSU since I hadn't had it very long. The restarting still occurred even after putting in the new PSU. I had posted on either here or r/pcmasterrace, and they said that my issue likely stems from my motherboard. I just installed a new motherboard about a week ago, and my computer just restarted again. I've also checked for thermal throttling, and everything appears to be fine. I am at a complete loss. [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||
| The Parblo PR100 Tablet Stand can be cannibalized for a cheap easel type adjustable VESA stand Posted: 03 May 2022 11:00 PM PDT There's a highly underappreciated type of monitor stand you can find on drawing monitors like the Huion Kamvas GT191 or some Wacom Cintiqs. These are great for setups where you have one monitor set up below another that is on an arm - as they allow for perfect tilt control and extremely low heights (most good tilt control stands will add inches of height, this reduces that to zero) These are pretty difficult to buy separately and compatibility is usually not well defined as these stands are typically made for particular model numbers. The Wacom Cintiq Adjustable Stand for instance typically costs $100 and is only verified to work with the 16" Cintiq. I just wanted to make an informational post that the Parblo PR100 consists of such a 75x75 mm Vesa stand attached to an easel and this can be removed to be used with any monitor with such a Vesa mount. I've tried it out with a 20 inch monitor and though it is a bit small it works perfectly. Note: You might need separate slightly longer screws as the included screws are shorter than typical VESA mount screws. This usually costs $30-50 and is usually easier to find than alternates.

| Is it still the case that you shouldn't use more than 75% of the SSD for optimal performance? Posted: 03 May 2022 10:25 PM PDT because it thats stil the case, that sounds like a good amount of wasted (unused) space for a 1TB SSD (or NVME) [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||
| Fractal Meshify 2 support top 280mm AIO? Posted: 04 May 2022 12:24 AM PDT Does anyone know if the the Meshify 2 supports the NZXT Z63 when top mounted? I was looking at their manual and on page 44 it says it supports a 280mm top AIO but its a 36mm max for ram clearance? Does anyone know what the G.Skill Trident Z Neo 32 GB clearance is?

| Should I upgrade my r5 2600 or GTX 1060 first? Posted: 03 May 2022 09:44 PM PDT cpu to r5 5600x/ i5 12400f, gpu to 3060ti/ rx 6600xt. Games I play: Dota2, AOE4, Apex legends, Rainbow 6 Siege, Monster Hunter World. There are definitely fps drops, especially when lots of things are happening at once. Been playing most of these games in low to medium settings [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||

| Posted: 04 May 2022 01:35 AM PDT I'm planning to rebuild my pre-built Acer Nitro N50-610 Gaming PC. What I'm planning to do is, to get a new PC case with a few case fans, a new motherboard, and transfer everything else from the old to the new. In my head, it seems to work out fine given I don't use too many fans so it doesn't go over my PSU wattage. Will it end up working? [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||
| Which bay to use to install SSD Posted: 04 May 2022 01:35 AM PDT I'm kinda new to PC build but I ordered a SSD (you might've seen my last post) to upgrade the PC a little. I have figured out most of the stuff but while searching for HDD and SSD trays, I found that there is apparently another bay below the DVD drive. Now this is a dumb question but worth the shot, is it fine if I put it in either of the bays? And what's the size of the normal bay in which the HDD is located? So I can search the tea size accordingly. Thank you :D Pictures: Here are the pics. [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||
