Hello people, my computer has been making this noise for a few months during start up but by the time it got to the login screen it would stop. In the past two weeks this noise hasn’t stopped after booting up and has been an incredibly effective trigger for misophonia, to the point that I can’t use this computer even with headphones.

The sound doesn’t appear to be coming from any of the cooling fans, does anyone have any idea what might be causing it and possibly what could be done to fix it?

I made a post in r/computers as well that included a video with the sound.

I want to play Deadlocked (Valve's new title) and this build is getting me ~70 fps but will drop to 50 when I'm close to a lot of particles. It's underperforming my expectations and I want to upgrade.

I want to be able to play games on max settings 1080p @ 144fps.

Also, why is speccy saying my RAM is so low mhz? It's supposed to be 3200.

I just got a corsair RMx 1000 (2021) psu and a RTX 4080 super, is it safe to use the corsair 12vhpwr cable to my gpu? If i have done my research right it should be OK but i just want to be sure.

I’m an unemployed 17 year old. I have about 400 dollars saved right now. I recently got into the idea of building a pc. I’ve watched a lot of YouTube videos but sometimes it feels like they’re just speaking gibberish. What are the essentials I need to build a somewhat decent pc and how much much more do I have to save to be able to be able to build one?

I built my first pc a half of a year ago, absolutely love it. Now I have to build my wife one, she doesn't play super intensive games so CPU is a Ryzen 5 7600X. GPU I was thinking 3060 12gb since I love my combo (7 7700X and 3060Ti). Just curious if there's any alternatives that make sense for the 3060 12gb price point, haven't done much research on red team yet. Thank you!

This is my first build in 5 years and want your opinions on it. I was thinking of swapping the 7700xt with a 6750xt and getting a better motherboard and power supply.

MOBO: MSI PRO B650M-P

Cpu: Ryzen 5 7500f

Ram: Team T-Force Delta RGB 32GB 6000 Cl 30

Ssd: SAMSUNG SSD 990 EVO 1TB 5000MB/s

Gpu: ASRock Challenger Radeon RX 7700 XT 12GB

Psu: XPG Pylon 750w

Cpu Cooler: be quite plus rock 2

Case : Random Atx Case

So as i mentioned in title i have problem. I already have 7500f what to choose? Can it handle with 7800xt? I think 7600xt will be waste of money 7700xt good but i can pay 100€ more and get 7800xt. I checked YouTube videos it seems no bottleneck at all. Maybe someone have same build or running 7500f on 4080-4090 gpu. I just need to be sure that i will be ok with it. Also is that possible to undervolt 7800xt to reduce it power consumption by half? 140-180W will be perfect.

Hey guys so i have an old rig with an old hdd that has windows 10 on it , i want to buy a sata ssd so the games be a lil faster , which is ideal ? Just plugging in the ssd as a second drive with windows 10 in the old hdd then installing the game on the ssd? Or do i have to reinstall windows on that same ssd then install games on it for the optimal performance?

So I treid both of them on my motherboard H510M A PRO with i5 11400f, and I was getting better results with speedstep and c1e enabled, and then I saw some people saying that speed shift is better with speedstep and c1e disabled, with speedshift my fps was jumping all the time in rainbow six siege, it was inconsistent. But with speedstep and c1e was more consistent, so what should I leave enabled and what disabled?? Maybe I was doing something wrong.

i have just built my pc, but i think my temps are a little weird? https://imgur.com/a/BSqLrHc i have a 7600x and a phantomspirit 120, and this spike is just for like opening discord

Just a quick question/ask for advice: I currently have a i5 12600K, and my partner has a i7 12600KF. he's just read that F series is not optimal for video editing due to igpu being used for de/encoding, so would would switching to my i5 temporarily be better than a F-series i7? how do they (i5 vs i7) compare?

A B650M PG Lightning Wifi goes for around 146E in one of the stores in my country.

A B650M-B is going for nearly 50E less.

From a video that I watched, the B650M-B doesn’t seem to be too good but then again, it was tested with a Ryzen 9 which I have no intention of upgrading to it in the future.

Should the B650M-B be enough for current Ryzen 5 / 7 and future Ryzen 5 and Ryzen 7 (such as Ryzen 7 9700)?

hello everyone, I have a question, I'm planning to buy an rtx 4070s and I don't know what processor to buy for it, I was thinking about ryzen 7 7800x3d, but a lot of people say it's a bottleneck, so I don't know what processor to buy, and I mainly play fortnite and CS GO 2, I'm also planning to buy some single-player games when I will have a new computer

Hey everyone !

I'm currently building a new PC and due to specificities in my office, I can't have a monitor taller than 450 mm.

I've been looking at QHD 144hz monitor and found the Gygabite G27Q. However I fail to understand if it will fit.

The height is given as 518,88mm (with the stand), with a height adjustment of 130mm.

Is this 519mm figure the maximum height that the stand can reach ? Meaning that it ranges from 519 to 519-130 = 389mm ?

The user manual does not give more details than that.

Thanks a lot in advance !

Pretty desperate and need help: basically I changed my ram speed from auto to 3200mhz to test out which one can work for me for better performance, then I saved and reset pc and from there on my pc can only turn on but it cant get to bios or desktop and it also doesnt turn on keyboard or display. I have tried reseating the cmos battery multiple times, I have also tried doing the cmos clear jump. I have also tried changing the ram sticks around and setting only 1 at a time. At this point I am at a loss on what to do since everywhere I search these are supposed to be the fixes to my issue. I simply dont understand why its not fixing the issue if all I did was change a single bios setting and yet resetting bios doesnt fix the issue. My motherboard is the asrock a520m-hvs/hdv, I also cant update the bios without turning on pc since this motherboard doesnt support that at the moment.

Hey so i ordered my first amd cpu and i was wondering if i need to do anything or can i just build it in my pc and start gaming like it works with Intel?

Or do i need to "configure" something or do any more steps?

So I'm trying to figure out what's in this desktop and what needs to be upgraded. I didn't build it, It was given to me by someone that did. I'm trying to figure out what I need to upgrade to turn this system into a better machine but aside from running the specs on it, writing everything down, then going and searching for replacement parts, I'm curious if anyone has a resource that will run a dx on my pc and let me know what to upgrade and what it will help improve. Used to use this for some gaming, and it works a bit still, although anything higher demand and other regular routine processes become more difficult each day. Thanks in advance. I'm trying to figure this out prior to force win11 support on it.

Hello! I recently bought a monitor, but I can't get it to do 240hz no matter what I try. I've used three different HDMI 2.0 cables (including the one that came with the monitor) and no dice. I've gone into nvidia graphics settings, tried setting a custom resolution, gone into display settings, changed the resolution to 1920 x 1080, and I've tried both HDMI ports on the monitor. My laptop doesn't support dp, but it does support minidp. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hey. I wanna replace my i9 14900k with a Ryzen 9 because of CS2 performance.

So how do i do it?

Just switch the Motherboard and New Ryzen CPU in and connect all the other components like before? So like just replace the Intel to AMD hardware? And turn on the pc hoping it boots up?

Or what will happen if i just switch the hardware components?

So as title says, is 244hz a big jump from 144hz? I plan on building a PC soon, so Im looking to upgrade my monitor that I use for my Xbox Series X. Going from 60hz to 144hz on my Xbox was day and night difference, so Im wondering if its the same thing. If its not, what about a 144hz to 360hz? I also do plan on playing competitive games like R6 and Val where these frames are achieved in low settings.

Edit: dont mind the minor spelling mistake on title XD

Hello everyone,

As the title says I am a first timer. +.+

I for the most part have picked out what I would like aesthetically. However the list has given me these notices.

• One additional USB 2.0 header is needed.
• A USB 3.2 Gen 1 to USB 2.0 header adapter is required.
• A USB 3.2 Gen 2 to USB 3.2 Gen 1 header adapter is required.

If possible, could you please list me USB headers and adapters and what not that would offset these notices?

Thank you!!!

Hello, I'm looking for some recommendations regarding upgrades.

I currently have an i7-11700K and want to upgrade my CPU. I have 32GB or DDR4 (3200mhz), a 1000w PSU, an am4/am5 and LGA 17000 compatible cooler, an RX 6800, and a 1440p 240hz monitor.

I am considering going with the i7-14700K or the Ryzen 7 7800X3D. I mostly play games like VALORANT, Elden Ring, and CS 2.

I'm not too worried about power usage and price between these options. However, longevity and being able to upgrade would be nice.

I've had these parts in my pc for like 2 years.

Randomly today I go to stat up my pc. After it working fine last night and it gets the VGA warning light on the motherboard stuck on getting no display or boot

I've tried reseating the GPU, CPU power, clearing cmos trying to boot from the motherboard display port. Trying different cables, reseating ram, trying each stick or ram individually nothing worked.

It would suck if something just gave out, my guess would be the CPU since it's more like 5-6 years old but the motherboard PSU and GPU are all 2 years old bought brand new

I have my old motherboard, GPU and CPU I could try and use for testing. But I don't have a lot of time and would rather not try process of elimination

m completely new to pc gaming can someone explain to me how the Wi-Fi works cause from my understanding I shouldn’t assume because it’s highish spec it has wifi capabilities

hello guys , my pc is getting low fps , i have a i9 13900kf and 4090 nvidia graphics card , im getting 300 frames on CS all low settings only shadow high , any solution with this problem ?

I've been using macbooks and consoles for ages and I'm looking to get back into PC gaming. This would be driving a 60hz 5120x1440 ultrawide for now (but eventually upgrading to a new 57" G9) and I've mostly been playing Jedi Survivor, Baldur's Gate 3 and COD: Warzone. I want something that will run games like these at 4k, highest details, and that I won't have to touch again for the next 3 or 4 years, but I'm a little overwhelmed by the amount of seemingly identical video cards, motherboards, and coolers with prices all over the place. I considered air cooling but I'm worried about ram clearance so I thought I'd go with an AIO to make my life easier. I don't live in the US so returning something I bought online and didn't fit is a major pain.

Built a PC for someone a few years ago and at random, the PC begins to judder and slow until it eventually locks up and turns off with no blue screen. What's interesting is when the issue begins, GPU usage in Task Manager jumps to 100% with no temperature uplift and no apps are using the GPU at all. The PC isn't under heavy load when it occurs. Friend states that this has happened ever since the PC was built (only told me about it in the last few days). YouTube videos will begin to play and then stop (audio keeps playing).

Attempted Steps to Resolve:

Replaced Power Supply, Replaced GPU, Run BIOS update (booted fine after), Verified Windows Installation and is completely up to date, Full Virus scan (no malware found) and reseated all components.

The spec is below:

MSI B550-F Gaming
32GB Corsair RAM
NVME SSD 1TB
ASUS GTX1080 (Replaced with newer MSI 1660Ti)
EVGA 650w PSU (Replaced with Corsair 750W)
Killer Wi-FI Card

Hopefully someone else has seen similar behaviour because i'm absolutely stumped. Event viewer acknowledges the improper shutdown.

I'm looking at getting an i5-13400, 16GB RAM, and an Intel A380. My use case is Handbrake encoding for my own use, and casual Premiere/After Effects/Illustrator/Photoshop. Doubtful I'd start Blender but maybe. Other casual stuff like YT VLC etc. For $390 is this a decent price?
