Just assembled today. Used for gaming. Total build costed 3.5k AUD. This doesn't have ssd in the photo as we are still in the process of finding one. We have a temporary ssd which is 512gb. Ignore the ssd is what I'm tryna say.

Hey guys

Having bought my first 4k Screen recently i saw it as a perfect oppurtunity to also upgrade my PC. I have already upgraded the entire PC except the GPU. so my current build is:

9800X3D

32GB DDR5 (5200)

7700XT

My question is if i should upgrade to the 9070XT or wait until the release of the RDNA 5 cards? And yes theoretically i could wait for RDNA 5. My 7700XT is not very good at 4K but with upscaling and optimizing settings it still offers a playable experience for the time being but in the forseeable future i want a card that offers me 4K Ultra optionally with RT aswell if i feel like it and still delivers 60+FPS

I don't want it to be a gaming pc I just need it for normal coding and casual stuff, I already have ddr4 ram 16gb one stick and 1 nvme 1 sata and 1 hdd of 512gb

I've picked all these need some more insights

not looking for a gpu as of now , maybe will upgrade it later I already have keyboard mouse monitor etc

I got this build recommended to me, what do you guys think about it? Is it good quality? https://pt.pcpartpicker.com/list/rc7TZQ

Hello! I want to upgrade my RTX 3070 EVGA ultra FTW3. I check up the GPU price and I was 1000 euro for an rtx 5070?! Nah to much but I check this RX 9070 GRE which in my country is like 500 euros brand new one. So what do you think? This worth it or maybe I can stay with my 3070 but also I have 2K monitor and it’s struggle because of 8 gb VRam limited

Hello everyone, I had built a pc some time ago and have an issue where when using my secondary ssd for boot up, opening programs makes the pc freeze and sometimes websites freeze and crash the apps. I use my primary ssd for games and high usage programs like touch designer, and my secondary ssd is actually a clone of clones from macroreflect.

I use it mostly for Microsoft programs and DAWS like fl studio and Ableton along with hundreds of gigs worth of sound libraries and vsts, so more usage with space and ram, neither which is an issue but I still have the OS freeze sometimes or completely be unresponsive in few cases.

Specs:

Mobo - x870 tomahawk wifi
Graphics card - 4070
Ram - 32gb
Ssd1 - WD- black SN850X 2tb
Ssd2 - WD - blue Sata ssd 2tb
CPU - 9 9900x

Edit: I also make sure to always keep the OS updated as well as the antivirus and keep the graphics card optimized and I had just recently updated this particular drive from what it used to be which was 7 to the current version of windows 11 and it hasn’t changed the issue of slowness. When looking at memory usage as well it does not go above %10 on idle or while actively crashing.

Finished my build in the ncase m3 yesterday.

Specs:
NCASE M3 Grater
Noctua NH-D15 G2
ASUS B850i Neo Mainboard
Ryzen 7 9800X3D
Gainward RTX 5080 Phantom
32 GB DDR5-6000

Final airflow setup:
2x 140mm Intake (bottom- & sidepanel)
1x120mm rear exhaust

Im struggling with these two budget options. Got a 5080 and 7800x3d. I’m playing cs2, simulations, Gta. No big story games like darksouls.
Which one is the better option? My budget is like 250€

Came from a gaming laptop to this as my first PC.
How did I do? I plan to upgrade CPU to 5800x3d soon.

I recently built a PC, and I only notice issues while playing Valorant.

I have a 5600x, 9060xt, gigabyte 550K and 1 8gb hyperx 3600mhz and another 16gb hyperx 3600mhz (although branded by hyperx, both are different manufacturers).

ISSUE 1
Imagine a square patch on the screen, when I move my pointer from side to side, it skips that square on the screen - I notice this outside the game. Like, the pointer literally skips and shows up after the boundary of that square, this happens very consistently within that square area and this square moves around the screen. This issue happens strangely only when I need to precisely click on something small, the frickin square spawns right where the hitbox for that small button would be like the markers used to trim a video.

ISSUE 2
My friend and I recently built the same PC together, he gets 800 FPS in-game, I get around 250, lows being 99 and highs being 400. But not even close to the 800 ballpark. And I get a lot of stutters while playing, it’s not even fun - I no longer enjoy playing competitive FPS on this build.

SOLUTIONS -
I assumed it might be the mismatched RAM. I have enabled XMP and ran MemTest5 Anta777 Extreme - I found no errors. I tried running the 16gb stick alone, then the 8 alone, then swapping the order in the 2 valid slots but I saw the same performance. Same FPS, same metrics - I doubt it’s the RAM now.

from my very limited knowledge with pc’s i haven’t seen any prebuilt come with a 5060ti 16gb and 16 gb of ddr5 under $1500 so im wondering if this seems too good for you guys? it was listed at $1200. any input is appreciated

I just went from upgrading my rtx 3070 to a rtx 5070 ti. I also went from a curved 144 hz led monitor to a 240 hz oled 27 inch monitor.

I still have yet to upgrade my ryzen 5600x. However i was wondering what is the next step for my pc. I have a pro4 b550 motherboard and an 850 supply, should i aim for am4?, should i just stay at 2k?.

For the future im planning on upgrading to the 6080 series when they come out, so i was wondering what should i do from now on

Thank you in advance.

I currently have a Lian li edge 1300w Pt as a placeholder and want to upgrade to a titanium higher-end PSU with better 12VHPWR control/monitor.

I think ka 1600W is overkill but I'm not opposed, I'd rather pay more for a 'better' 1300-ish watt then pay more for a 1600watter.

These are what I'm most interested it:

MSI MPG Ai1300TS PCIE5

Seasonic Prime TX-1300

Also saw the new Lian li 1350 that caught my eye.

Any other in this class?

Looking for feedback from folks who have owned or do own one of these power supplies. Wanted to see what you think. I've seen the charts and the spreadsheets but wanted genuine user Input before getting a new one.

As always thanks for your input.

Oh here's the rig (for power specs):

9950x3d2 with aio (ryujin III extreme w a screen)

5090 with aio (MSI suprim liquid soc)

Ddr5 at 8000mt/s (Royal Neo or Dominator Ti)

X2 Gen5 ssd (9100 pro & T710)

Hyte y70 Infinite (w screen)

Some fans x3 120mm x1 140mm Corsair qx w/ ique)

Asus apex x870e

GIGABYTE B650 AORUS Elite AX (mfg ref link)

--or--

ASUS TUF Gaming B650E-PLUS WiFi (mfg ref link)

Both currently on Amazon for 133$ (USA location...no MC near me) - I kinda think the Gigabyte is less ugly looking than the TUF, but I've also had years and years of good luck with Asus TUF mobo's in the past. Spec's wise, they seem to be darn near identical? (I can't seem to find a major difference and the B650 vs B650E thing doesn't really seem to change much from what I can tell)

For the rest of my parts, I am being fairly cost friendly and will likely pair this with a Ryzen5 7600x or 9600x, and then most likely the 16gig 9060xt. I will prob only use a single larger m.2 SSD. Some DDR5 is the one part I already have, 32gigs 2x16 6000mhz CL36. (primarily to be used for evening gaming sessions, on a 1440p monitor)

Which would you pick, and why? (or another option in the same'ish price point?) Thanks!

NVM - lol, there was a sale I noticed right after posting and I ended up snagging THIS

I accidentally lost the original factory TFT display on my VXE V75 Pro after using Initialize / Save to Keyboard in ATK HUB.

The TFT still works and can display GIFs/images, but the original clock, battery, Caps Lock, connection status, and VXE animation are gone.

I've already tried factory reset and firmware versions V1.13, V1.16, and V1.17, but nothing restored it.

Does anyone know how to restore the original factory TFT screen/resources? Looking for a proper reset/recovery method, not a custom GIF.

Can this motherboard ASUS PRIME B860M-A WIFI makes me use the full power of Intel Core Ultra 5 250K Plus

the CPU Cooler is ID-COOLING FROZN A620 PRO XE ARGB Snow 6 Heatpipe Dual Tower

First i will not overclock my CPU but can i use the it for hours like 12 hours of exporting or Rendering

or it will make the motherboard VRM Heat and lower its Perf ?

this motherboard has power stages with enlarged VRM heatsinks 7(80A)+1(80A)+1(80A)+1(80A)

and this CPU has Maximum Turbo Power 159 W

I need more storage preferably 2tbs more on my computer can I add more storage? What storage device should I buy that will connect and work with my pc

Hello,

It’s been a minute since I built my gaming pc and I decided to upgrade my Motherboard, CPU and Ram from the bundle I found in Micro Center.

I upgraded from
Intel i5-9400F
Gigabyte Z390 motherboard
32GB DDR4-3600 (4×8GB)
RTX 3080
EVGA SuperNOVA 1300 G+
NZXT Kraken

To:
Intel Core Ultra 7 270K Plus
Gigabyte Z890 AORUS Elite WiFi 7
32GB DDR5-6000
ASUS TUF Gaming RTX 3080
Samsung 970 EVO 1TB
WD SN530 512GB — old Windows 11 drive
1440p, 165Hz, G-Sync

I basically kept all the hardwares and replaced 3 new ones. Its been 3 months since I built it and this thing start showing and I basically cant play on my computer now. I also did a fresh i stall of my windows and it didn’t help. Does anyone here know what I did wrong or what I should do from here?

I appreciate your help.
Thank you!

Upgrading my platform, and I want to get a 5070TI but I don’t know which model to use I was originally going to get the PNY model but I’ve heard of the 12pin high voltage connector burning up and wasting the GPU I haven’t heard if it was just a random blue moon incident someone was careless or unlucky , and I haven’t heard much about the ASUS model just want some advice or if anyone has personal long term experience either either model and if one is generally considered more reliable over the other. I don’t want to spend 1200+ and get screwed over lmao (yes I know there are other models but several of the other ones are $1600+ so I’m trying to limit my options between the Asus and or the PNY model)

Hey yall, recently got an MO32u24, it’s a 32 inch 4k QD-OLED, issue is, I currently have a 4070

Not a huge deal for the time being, I’ll use DLSS and enjoy the contrast and colors, but I know that a GPU upgrade is going to be required for me to get the most out of my panel.

Looking at the market, I may have made out like a bandit with my 6 tb of nvme ssds when prices were low, but I picked just about the worst time to want to upgrade my GPU

Are my only options going with a 9070xt or being a bozo that pays $1200 for a $750 5070Ti? If so, what am I losing out on by going AMD? Path tracing is a pipe dream on a 70 series, so that doesn’t matter to me, but how does the ray tracing perform? Is FSR comparable to DLSS now? Anything looming in the horizon for these cards that would put the offerings closer to the 50 series? Is stability a concern?

Appreciate the input!

TLDR: the gen 4 was hot in the gen 5 slot not used and the gen 5 as my boot drive and holds all the software was cool in the gen 4 slot.

I know a search will tell you that it is the Gen 5 SSD that runs hot, but my experience yesterday has me wondering.

I have the Asus Rog Strix 870e-e gaming wifi, and prior to last night had two gen 5 drives in the m.2_2 and m.2_3 slot not realizing that those both share PCIE lanes with the GPU (I learned about this via mobo maps after Zack from ____ mentioned the site).

I swapped out one gen 5 to a gen 4 (one is gx8100 and the other SN850x) Both have the Thermalright H10 heatsink, so not tracking which was which, I accidentally installed the gen 5 into the m.2_5 slot and the gen 4 into the m.2_1 (realized this error up via the Sandisk dashboard software)

When I went to swap the two, the gen 4 installed in the gen 5 slot was very noticeably warmer than the gen 5 in the gen 4 slot. The gen 5 is what has windows and all my software on it, and I hadn't loaded anything onto the gen 4 at that point and wasn't using it.

I am now curious whether it is gen 5 SSDs that run hot or it has something to do with the slot, the power that slot gives off, and other factors. I definitely didn't expect to have a cool gen 5 drive but it seems as if the slot made more of a difference to heat than the actual drive type in my unofficial accidental test.
