As the title suggests, I am short. I’m 5’4” (162 cm). So I tend to be TOO short to see anything on my monitors with typical chairs (office and gaming), and end up having to turn my brightness up to a ridiculous amount, and/or tilt my monitors to their limits. With having cats, I’m not very comfortable having my monitors tilted down so much, so I usually just end up occasionally lifting myself up to see important things and accepting that i will see nothing else very well.

Another issue i have with chairs is they're too narrow. I tend to sit cross legged sometimes while gaming and some chairs I have tried are just too narrow to sit proper cross legged and I just end up more uncomfortable than when i started.

I don’t know if any more info is needed so feel free to ask questions before giving actual answers! TYIA! ^.^

Aqua 3 owners, can anyone tell me the height of the basement and if you could realistically use the hard drive cage for two 3.5 hard drives with a non-modular PSU? Thanks!

I recently tested a 3060 in my pc and all worked fine. After selling said 3060 I had to return to using my 1050ti, anyway the graphics stopped displaying. As a result, I tested one of my friends GPUs (1070ti), uninstalled Display Drivers, Updated my Bios, and finally today bought a new mobo as I thought there could’ve been an issue with the PCIE slot. Once putting the new motherboard in my graphics still isn’t displaying and could use some help. The only thing that seems to have worked is putting in another 3060. If anyone could help that would be greatly appreciated.

I have the FC version of the bios and I want to update to the FCd version. I have a Ryzen 9 5900x processor. Will nothing happen?

And got some of these parts for Xmas and family members helped me buy some of these parts parts

So i was helping someone with their PC Today. He bought a brand new B850 Riptide Wifi for his 7700x and 4070.

For his psu part he chose a BeQuiet 650w 12 m Pure Power. However the issue is that the PSU only comes with one 8 Pin ATX mainboard cable not two. It also comes with a dedicated 4 pin mainboard cable (not a splittable 8 | 2x4).

Obviously board isnt posting with a red cpu LED due to the lack of Power.

Should i get him a 750 PSU with the dedicated atx cables or just buy another cable.

I was working on my Case fans and forgot to turn off the power switch. Now when i want to start my PC it wont start, only the Motherboard RGB turns on when i flip the Power Switch.

Hello! I don’t know if this is the right subreddit for this but here it goes. I have this gaming laptop I bought to play the newer gen games but I messed up and the cpu wasn’t as good as my old one. The gpu is better but it limits me in some areas. I also play VR and have the really nice Valve Index. However, that thing eats up a lot of the cpu’s processing power and VRAM. Is there a way to hook up my old computer to the new one?

I'm working on building a new PC for my wife. She works from home and her job requires four monitors and is extremely Excel and browser-intensive. Her current PC is at least 10 years old and it's ready to be replaced.

Her requirements are:

1. White Case with no LED's
2. Not too expensive (our max budget is $1,000)

My requirements are:

1. Power efficient, therefore running quiet and cool
2. As future-proofed as possible within budget
3. Stability & durability over speed
4. Ability to reuse her current GPU, which is a Quadro P600

I have a list put together that's a little under budget but I think there's a bit more room to save money in a few areas by going to a less expensive but just a stable option.

I need help deciding between these three motherboards: Asus ROG STRIX X870E-E GAMING WIFI, MSI MPG X870E CARBON WIFI, and Gigabyte X870E AORUS MASTER. The Asus and MSI are $500 and the Gigabyte is $480.

This PC is only going to be used for gaming and will eventually be paired with a Ryzen 9 9950X3D and an NVIDIA 5090. I'll get two DDR5 32GB sticks of RAM. SSD will be a Crucial T705 4TB and the case will be loaded with Noctua fans including the CPU cooler. Seems like all three have WIFI 7 and Bluetooth 5.3 or better. Anything else I should consider here?

This is the build that I made so far: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/GVqwkf

1. 9800X3D
2. PS140
3. Gigabyte X870 AORUS ELITE WIFI7
4. Corsair Vengeance RGB 32GB DDR5-6000 CL30
5. 2 x Western Digital WD_Black SN850X 2TB
6. NVIDIA RTX 5080 FE
7. Montech King 95 Pro
8. Corsair RM1000X

I think I'm fine so far, but I would like to see some suggestions or comments about my build that I would start to buy and build as soon as I get 5080 in my hand.

5080 FE OC Journey

Hi all,

Just installed my new 5080 FE. Running the following:

7600x 64gb of ram 27’ 1440p monitor - (msi mpg 321urx in the mail) 5080 Bios: 98.03.3b.00.01

I started with furmark and heaven to get a base. Started the clock at 500 but after playing Apex Legends, CoD and a little of Fortnite, I’m stable at +460 so far. I’m going to play some more to ensure stability and move on to memory clock.

I want a external usb ssd for heavy gaming like fortnite. Im just wondering which brand should i use

Hello everyone, I have two options, either go for i7 12700k which comes at around $250 or go for ryzen 7 9800x 3d at $450 in my area. Now I play games at 1080p not 4k and I want to use my old card which is a Nvidia GTX 1080 and it works fine, but down the line I may upgrade to 5060ti or 40 series for 2k gaming depending on the price. The Form Factor is going to be Micro ATX build. I am not going to use liquid cooling method, and the ryzen 7 9800x 3d is recommended to have liquid cooling because it does get heated, on the other hand the i7 12700k is all rounder good cpu mainting balanced temperature but its an old cpu. So, if you guys could help me choose a good cpu from either these two or recommend some other cpu it will help me alot.

Today I replaced my Ryzen 7 3700x with a 5700X3D and a new Phantom Spirit 120 EVO cooler. I’m dumb and didn’t check the ram height and of course, it blocks the cooler fan. I have it mounted up a bit and it still fits inside the case, but I hate how it looks. Would I lose much performance moving it to the back for more of an air pull through the heat sink? Or maybe just find a new cooler? Any advice is appreciated, thanks.

They both use the same socket so I'm assuming you can but still want to confirm

Hello !

I'm building a new PC, and I got ROG STRIX B650E-F GAMING WIFI as motherboard.

I also got CMH64GX5M2B6000Z30CMH64GX5M2B6000Z30 ram for it.

Though according to this list https://rog.asus.com/ca-en/motherboards/rog-strix/rog-strix-b650e-f-gaming-wifi-model/helpdesk_qvl_memory/, the ram I got is not part of it. Therefore... not compatible ? Or it's the list that is not up-to-date maybe ?

Just curious to know if I should return my ram before opening it, or if any of you installed ram that is not part of an official compatibility list.

Cheers !

Hi all. My partner is in school for cyber security. He was talking about needing a second monitor for school since he only has his laptop.

I was thinking this could be a Valentine’s Day gift? Looking to stay in $250 budget range.

Saw this at Walmart (LG 34WR50QC - 34” Ultrawide Curved). Good choice or is there something better?

Hey guys, I currently own a BenQ Zowie xl2546k, and I almost exclusively play ranked in Cod BO6, and Warzone occasionally. I often find myself having a hard time seeing/tracking enemies from far given that im playing on 1080p. Dyac+ is great at maximizing motion clarity, but the image quality is definitely sub par. I know that the monitor caters to competitive FPS gamers. I was however wondering how a 27 inch OLED monitor would fare up against the xl2546k. Has anybody had experience with both of these monitors?

i've been looking for a gpu for my asus prime b450 plus and i dont really know what i could put it with, i need something cheap but efficient (by cheap i mean like 200-300€) my processor is a amd ryzen 5 3600 with 16gb of corsair ram (750 w alim) i got a huge lack of knowledge on all of this and i need help with that, thank you all

I received some of my friends old PC parts a few years ago and am now seriously needing to upgrade, but I'm still on a budget. I've been out of the PC building game for a while and have no idea how much I could get out of this motherboard without having to get a new one so I'm mainly curious about what CPUs and graphics cards are compatible with it. For example, could I go as far as the 3 series nvidia cards? If so, what CPU should I pair with one that would still work in my motherboard? I already know I need more RAM and power is another issue but I wanted to see what parts I could even replace before I get that far. Thanks in advance!

Current specs:

ASUS Rog Strix Z390-E

i5-9600K

8 gigs of RAM

GeForce GTX 1070

Current:

GPU: AMD RX 6600 8GB (€300)

CPU: AND Ryzen 7 5800x

RAM: 32 GB 3200 mhz Corsair Vengeance

Monitor: 1440p, 144hz

I get around 50-60 fps with this build on medium settings.

I have been eyeing the AMD RX 7800 XT (around €500). Mainly because it’s obviously better but also has 16GB RAM.

Should i get this one?

Sure Nvidia has ray tracing but don’t even think this game supports it. Also their equivalent card, RTX 4070?, only has 12 GB RAM and costs around €600.

I want to be able to play on high settings and reach maybe 120 fps. Or at least more than 60 fps.

Currently have a mouse keyboard combo that costed me $50, so junk.

Looking to upgrade, would like both to be under $200

Thanks!

Where to buy either of those? i’m in the market for one of them, and i can’t seem to find them anywhere.

also any recommendations on which one i should buy? leaning towards nvidia but open to whatever.

I recently upgraded my Ryzen 3900X CPU for a 5900X. Updated the bios to the latest one to make sure it was all compatible. Was working great for a week until the monitors stopped displaying despite the tower running. Mobos has an orange light but the ram seems fine. Even asked someone better with PCs to look at it. We decided to check if all drivers are good and when it was running again it blue screened. None of these happened before the upgrade and we're still trying to figure out the root of the issue. Any suggestions would be great.

Hello, which should i get?
