I was initially going for intel i5 13400f & MSI B760 GAMING PLUS WIFI but this sub recommended i chose ryzen 5 7600 instead.

MSI PRO B650M-P is the cheapest am5 motherboard available in my country & im wondering if it's decent? atx motherboards cost $200 more & i don't wanna spend that much more. My build includes rtx 4070 super, 850w psu, 16x2 sticks of ddr5 ram. I intend to use the pc for gaming/ai/3d rendering. I don't intend to overclock stuff & tinker with bios.

Hi everyone,
Lately i'm having huge fps drops in alot of games,
Is this maybe caused by latest Drivers?
my computer parts:
RTX 4090 Suprim Liquid Cooled
Ryzen 9 7950x
64GB DDR5 Ram 6200mhz.
Gigabyte X670e Aorus Master
2tb SSD.
1tb SSD.

I run all my games on maxed out settings,
Battlefield 2042 used to run on 170-190 FPS maxxed out with DLSS on QUALITY mode.
It now runs 104-120 fps.

Call of duty multiplayer used to run 270-300 fps. also DLSS on Quality mode.
it now runs 200-240 fps.
warzone the same.

Helldivers 2 used to run 90-100 fps, Now runs 60-70 fps maxxed ou
Red Dead Redemption 2 Maxxed out - 160/170 fps
now - 120 fps.
Crysis 3 70 fps.
Rust used to run around 130-150 fps.
Now - 55 - 60 fps.
Could it be a GPU issue? Or is it caused by the new Drivers?
I have it since 2 Driver updates ago ( current is 552.22 )
Does anyone else have the same experiences ?
I made the same post in /Nvidia but the moderators removed my question.. Kinda Sus.

Noticed while playing battlefield 2042 that my CPU utilization is between 90-100% most of the time.

I'm very confused, My pc never had any issues before the latest 2 driver updates.

So I recently bought a new monitor (1440p, 170hz, ASUS VG27AQL1A) upgrading from a older 1080p 60hz monitor and I am having some issues with streaming sites like Netflix, Hulu or Disney+ (sites like youtube and twitch are fine). Specifically, the monitor either quickly disconnects and reconnects as soon as I enter (effectively a flicker), or once every 30 seconds or so.

I tried researching this process and I would assume it has to be something related to HDCP and I do have a monitor switcher so I can use the monitor for my desktop and for my work laptop that being said the streaming sites work in my work laptop no problem even if I switch the cables. so I don't know why I would get the problem one places but not the other even though both are hooked up to the same switch. I also tried switching the display port cables but still no game. for reference i have this switch:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0C4P9GSM5/

The sites also work if i just switch the monitor and switching it back. It will not disconnect until the next episode is playing. At this point I am running out of ideas so I am hoping to get some ideas here.

If I have to choose between the convenience of switching my monitor for my personal pc to work laptop with one button and streaming sites i will choose the former so I'm looking for a solution that let's me keep the switch. I also used to be able to switch with my old monitor with an older hdmi cable for reference.

Anyways any help is appreciated.

Hi there,

I recently built a new PC (specs below). I am encountering weird performance bugs with certain games most notably "Death Stranding"(Not directors cut).

CPU utilization comes up as 100% (in AMD adrenaline) and the FPS jumps all over the place from 40 up to 200.
GPU is only about 40%. The lag spikes get quite bad when there is a lot of items on screen.

I have the resolution set to 720p as its older monitor which I am running through a HMDI to DVI converter cable. I intend on replacing it with a 1440p display soon.

Specs:

CPU - i5-12400

GPU - RX 6800

RAM - 32GB DDR4

Right now im using i510400f paired with GTX1650 and im looking for an upgrade

im willing to spend for the gpu and psu around 400 usd.

Open to suggestion!

Hello everyone I am currently trying to build this PC
Any suggestions for CPU Cooler, RAM, and PSU?
I see the PSU is 1000W and is on discount but do I need this much or is 850 suffice?
Also the 1000W and 850W from Corsair(2021) model are available on discount on NewEgg. Would this 2021 model be ok for this build?

Any advice or help is appreciated thanks everyone.

I’m building a system with a R7 5700x. Which cpu cooler would be better. A be quite dark rock pro 5 or deep cool Ak 500.

Hi,

I currently have 3 low speed fans (1300rpm), in configuration like in pic 1.

I have 3 new high-speed fans (2200rpm). I want to put them like in pic 2. But I want high-sped fans in positions of old fans, and old fans in new positions.

I worry if two on top are gonna work well. In my mind it makes sense for CPU cooling. My CPU hits 90C while mining.

Also is it okay to have 4 intakes and two exhausts?

Components:

CPU: 7900X 175W, max 188W

GPU: 4070Ti 350W, max 365W

As the title states we are trying to build a pc for the first time.

My friend wants it to be air cooled and not liquid cooling for his first build. I’ve never built a pc but would love to help my friend as it’s an experience where I will get to learn.

We are trying to remain under $3200 with taxes.

A few questions that I have for this build.

• Do I have to manually add in the windows 11? Like how would this DVD work? I’m not sure the case I’ve picked has a slot for a DVD to insert.

• As for the monitors are they good choice for this build he wants a dual setup? My friend didn’t want 1440 quality. But we are open to discuss if we can learn more about the monitors and how to determine the best selection.

• The motherboard has a WI-FI 6E. This means I won’t have to personally install a WI-FI thing on my own correct?

• When installing storage SSDs do I have to configure them? Or is it similar to just installing them and they work? Is it the same case for the RAM?

• Will the case have proper air flow?

Those are all of the questions.

Hello my smart Reddit people,

So I’ve been looking for upgrading my Pc. I already did two upgrades what a big difference made:

Upgrades: GPU: MSI 4070 super PSU: MSI 750W

Current specs (with upgrade):

• Case: RAIDER CA2 Pro Gaming - RGB + Remote
• CPU: Intel®️ Core™️ i5-10400F - 6 Cores
• Cooler: Be quiet! Pure Rock 2
• MOBO: ASUS TUF Gaming B560M-PLUS
• RAM: Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 16GB DDR4-3200
• GPU: MSI GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER 12G GAMING X
• SSD: SSD M.2 1000GB Samsung 980
• Soundboard: Asus Xonar SE
• Internet: 1900 Mbps Asus WiFi USB Stick
• Power supply: MSI MPG A750GF

Now I want to upgrade my processor, because there is a big bottleneck.

Use of gaming pc: Currently I’m playing COD and I’m around 170 fps (without streaming). I’m also streaming on twitch then I’ve got around 105 fps. I want this to go up.

I want to upgrade within 2/3 months from now.

I think the best option for CPU upgrade is an i7 13700k. I’ve already picked some parts, but I don’t know if it’s good or not.

https://nl.pcpartpicker.com/list/P8CWvj

I’m not sure what cooler I need and the MOBO. Also I’d like some advice on the case.

Can someone help me out please? I will appreciate ur time!

my sister claims she can play Warzone with the highest settings using the same CPU and an RTX 3090 graphics card. Can this CPU really handle running modern games at the highest settings with such a powerful GPU, or is my sister exaggerating?

Greeting builders ,
I am assembling this pc with the following specs , can you give me so pointers if there are bottlenecking occurrence or you experienced a bad experience with one of the hardware units .
CPU : INTEL Core i5 12400F
GPU : MSI NVidia RTX 4060 8GB

Motherboard : MSI B760 DR5 Wifi

Ram : 32GB 6000 MHZ DDR5
PSU : cooler Master 700W +80

Cooler : Thermaltake UX100
other specs are insignificant :
Storage : 512 GB NVMe SSD M.2

Case : tower with 3 fans

I want to build a pc that is capable of performing AI/ML algorithms, data science and visualizations on different platforms, and video editing and 1440-4k gaming.

I found various deals for a dream build I had in mind from Slickdeals, Microcenter, and Amazon. I used coupons on Microcenter deals on top of their sales to save even more money. I wanted quality parts that wouldn't crash on me when I needed the desktop during work or gaming needs. I tried to strike a balance between performance and style as well.

Overall I saved about $350 with various deals and overall cost of parts is approximately $1500. What do you guys think of my build? This is my first time PC build and it is overkill yes.

CPU: i9-13900k - $360

Ram: G.Skills 64 gbs of ddr5-6000 CL 30 -$200

Motherboard: ASROCK Nova Z790 - $305

Power Supply: Seasonic Vertex GX-1200 ATX 3.0 Gold - $175

Case: North XL - $165

AIO: Lian LI GA 2 360mm with LCD - $229

Storage: Samsung 990 EVO 1 TB - $54 GPU: I didn't buy yet but I want to get the Nvidia 4080 Super or 4070 Super Ti.

On my phone I get 15-25mbps download meanwhile on pc i get 1-5 when they are right beside each other. My router is less than 10 feet away and I am using wireless connection. Previously, I had no issues until about 2 months ago when everything got slower and I started disconnecting in games. Now, online video games are unplayable (LoL among others) and I dc every 10-30 seconds. Online ping test give consisten ~10ms with a 200ms+ spike every few seconds. I used to use a USB wifi adapter, switch to a wifi6e PCIe intel ax210 chip, nothing changed.

Tl;dr PC connection significantly slower and really inconsistent than other devices right beside it, already switched wifi card

Is this a hardware issue? What can I replace to fix this?

Hi, so I am attempting to build my first ever water cooled system, I have a 7800x3d and 7900 xtx red devil, I was wonder how many rads are necessary and what types of fittings and how much tubing is recommended. I am building this in the Lian Li O11D Evo XL so I have plenty of room.

Also what type of water blocks would be good for both the cpu and gpu? Should I ignore EK altogether with the recent developments? And do different branded water cooling parts mesh well together of should they all be from the same brand?

I am running a 5900x paired with a 3090. Shouldn't I be getting better speeds?

Can the i7 10700f still do 1080p and 1440p paired with a 4060 ti, or will it bottleneck the gpu?

I want to build a pc but I don’t know what motherboard to get. I currently have an intel core i5-12400F and a RX 7600 XT and want atleast 32gb of ram. Mobo recommendations appreciated

Doing my first ever build. I was originally looking at the NZXT Kraken 240 RGB to use as a cooler, but I've seen mixed reviews for it here and it's currently selling for $175. I was looking for a white AIO with an LCD I can load gifs onto to go with my NZXT H5 RGB Flow case (https://nzxt.com/product/h5-flow-rgb). Using an MSI board (if that matters). Will either of these work well with NZXT's RGB controllers? Anyone have any experience with either of these coolers that can provide any insight?

The ASUS ROG RYUO III 240 ARGB is on sale for $135 (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BTS3BZ8G/ref=ewc_pr_img_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1). Big markdown, not sure how I feel about the pixelated LCD.

The Thermaltake TH240 is selling for $150 on Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0CHN8M5RK/ref=ewc_pr_img_2?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&th=1).

Thanks!

I just bought a Secret Labs chair because I’m a dumbass and the chairs sucks!

I am looking for a computer chair that embodies a cloud, I have meh posture and I don’t care to change that with a Ergonomic chair, my ass provides little cushioning of its own so I need a chair that helps with that especially if I want to sulk into the chair or kick my legs up. Only requirement apart from that is it just needs the arms to be adjustable

Please for the love of god help. My poor boney ass can’t support my height and weight and firm chairs hurt

Edit: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/sku/6554668.p?skuId=6554668

That’s what I’m looking at but I’ve got no way of knowing if it’s actually soft and squishy seating

As noted in the title, I have XMP1 enabled in the UEFI for the listed RAM. This RAM is on the QVL for ASUS's z790 Dark Hero motherboard. It says 6500 megatransfers/s (MT/s) in the XMP1 profile. However, when I view the the memory speed in HWINFO64 for one DDR5, it reads as 3200.0 Mhz (DDR5-6400) for one slot. Is this 3200 Mhz the same as MT/s? And so 3200 MHz * 2 = 6400 MHz or 6400 MT/s?

Thank you for clarifying my confusion.

I just want to ensure I am getting the RAM's speed that is supported by the motherboard.

Checking to see if ive missed something or if theres a better option available for a similar price? This will be paired with a 4070ti super https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/FYpkrv I'm in Aus for pricing. cheers.

Just bought some G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo CL30 DDR5-6000 (AMD Expo) to replace my G.Skill Flare X5 CL36 DDR5-6000 (also AMD Expo). All I did last time was enable expo and never touched anything else cuz I don’t fully understand all the things in bios and don’t wanna mess with it if I don’t know what to do. People make it sound easy to manually overclock it but one wrong move could fry the component. Thanks

Settings adjusted for performance of course - not speaking in regards to native res ultra settings

Is this possible with the current generation of hardware or should I be looking more towards the next gen?

Hi everyone!

I'm very new to this and have been doing research for a couple weeks now and I have my build almost complete.

I'm going to be using my PC for gaming, think: league, sims, planet coaster, GTA and some minor video editing.

I'm going for good performance AND aesthetics and would like to keep my build (mostly) white.

Here's what I have so far:

I'm not sure how many case fans I will need so I added a few extra on the bottom. I do not want a water-cooled CPU cooler.

I can add a couple hundred extra if needed! Thank you in advance and pls be nice. I'm new to this :")

looking for them but cant find any, not even 13600 either so it must be a problem with the 600s themselves, not like i want a 13600 but still not even those can be found either.

Hey guys, I need help from more experienced PC builders and gamers. I was planning on upgrading current components I have, but I don't know which way to go. This is my current build: Ryzen 3 3200g, GTX 1650, DDR4 2x8gb 2666mhz, Gigabyte A320-M. I was planning on sticking with GTX 1650 since it serves me good enough for 1080p gaming (Valorant, League and Minecraft), but I find my CPU a bit weak. In the near future I will start using Auto Cad and do some front-end developing, therefore I've come up with 3 possible solutions for my upgrade:

1. Super Budget => basically upgrade just the CPU, either Ryzen 5 3600 or 5500
2. Budget => Switch to intel I3 12100F and build the whole new PC while sticking to GTX 1650
3. Mid range => Go with Ryzen 5 5600X, build a system around it and buy appropriate GPU when I save up enough money for it (most likely RX 6700)

Money won't be that big of a problem for me since I'm planning on building this in about 2 months, but I will surely use that configuration for the next 5 years while I'm in college.

I would like to hear your thoughts, thanks in advance :)

Little worried that I might need to switch in a year or so?

This is my very first PC build and have been doing a lot of research into some of the parts and have begun selecting them. My budget is a staggering $600 and i want to have this primarily for gaming such as overwatch, sea of thieves, MK, League, Minecraft and other games like these as well as being able to image analysis through photoshop and ImageJ and coding in R-studio(school work and research). Ik its ambitious with the build but id love to play on 1440 (dont really need ultra settings for games just want to be able to appreciate world building) and want around 80fps. My build right now with tower included is a bit over budget and I want to know if there are parts that can be subbed out for others without sacrificing performance and reducing price (best combos and etc).

My list is here: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/sandygamer/saved/tHhTrH

With the current list i'm finding this compatibility error and wondering if its something i can work around: The ASRock B450M/ac R2.0 Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard supports the AMD Ryzen 7 5700G 3.8 GHz 8-Core Processor with BIOS version P2.60. If the motherboard is using an older BIOS version, updating the BIOS will be necessary to support the CPU.

(its telling me i posted the wrong link so if anyone can access or cant access please lmk... never used pcpartpicker before i just copied permalink)

When I got my Rog strix b650-e f gaming wifi I updated the bios but the nvme drives stopped being detected can't rollback bios. I'm on bios version 2613 I can't see the drives in bios or in windows install media I've tried csm but when I reopen the bios after restarting with csm on its turned off. I have no clue what to do but I need the PC working to finish a uni project (files are on cloud so no worries if need to reinstall) 7800x3d 2 2tb Western digital nvme drives one blue one black
