Hello everybody, I have a 3700x paired with my 3070. I want to know if I’m gonna have any huge fps boosts upgrading my cpu to a 5700x3d. I have seen some videos showing only about 10-20 fps boosts, and that’s only in some titles.

The Mobo has 2 x M2 slots M2_1 PCle 4.0 x 16 supports x 16 mode. The M2_2 is on the chipset side and is PCle 3.0 x16 supports 3 x PCle 3.0. (3x PCle 3.0 x1)

Does this mean I can have 1 NVME 4.0 and the other must be same running slower or a Gen 3.0 x4?

The PCle 3.0x16 supporting 3.0 x 4 slot shares bandwidth. It means sharing bandwidth with GPU?.

So I am moving abroad - two 7 hour flights away - for about a year. I have a portable pc and need a monitor. But i was wondering if i could bring my monitor with me. I was wondering if it is possible or if there any words of cautions or how i should carry it. I could bubble wrap in a suit case but my mom just threw out the original box so that isnt an option

my pc : HP 255 G5 Notebook w/AMD E2-7110 APU cpu

i cant even open the advanced option is BIOS

So i wanna build a pc with the ryzen 7 7800x3d and i know that is the best cpu on the market and i know i have to pair it with a good gpu but i only play cpu based games such as cs2, valorant, fortnite, overwatch and more. Can i pair it with a cheap gpu like the rtx 3060 since i dont really care about gpu based games? What should i do?

Already had the psu, SSDs, and monitor from previous build.

Hello!

I built my PC in 2020, and it's had many upgrades throughout the years. But the main problem I'm having right now is in relation to my GPU. My GIGABYTE Eagle Rx 6600's fan randomly gets really loud at times. This happens even on idle and even when my temps aren't high (~55 c). My temps never get too high while gaming either, it hovers around 50-70 degrees. It'll ramp up really fast and then turn off very suddenly, which is annoying because even when I'm browsing the internet or working on stuff, it gets really loud. Weird thing is, it's only one fan spinning as well. The other two aren't spinning when it gets really loud. I've checked while it's under load as well, and I believe the other two do spin. Don't quote me on that because it's been a while since I checked, but I believe this to the be case.

I've also noticed that my GPU is constantly at 99% when I play games when paired with my Ryzen 5 5600x. I don't know why, as I did my research before buying the CPU (I bought the CPU upgrade after my GPU upgrade) and it seemed like everyone was recommending this pair of components. I watched a lot of videos of the same build before I made the choice, and a lot of the games I played weren't getting throttled by anything. I don't know if this is a hardware problem or software problem, but any help would be appreciated!

Specs:

GIGABYTE Eagle Rx 6600

AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 6-Core Processor

32 GB Corsair Vengeance Ram (3200 MHZ)

2 SSD's and a Hard drive

Hello! Ive been trouble this PC for the past few days as ive been trying to find out which component is faulty, It didnt even show any power in the first place but i chalked that up to a faulty cabling and power button.

Next up i was able to power the PC but now with this type of beep code? Im trying to identify it but im confused on what it is ("1 long, 2 short" or "1 long, 3 short") Any advice on how to move forward would be appreciated!

Hi,

I woke up one morning and my computer wouldn't start. When i pressed the power button, I heard a quick high pitched noise, followed by nothing. I could only replicate the noise by turning off the power and waiting 20~ seconds for any remaining power in the system to dissipate. However, the motherboard clearly had power during this time as several LEDs were illuminated (as they usually are).

I concluded that my motherboard had died (6+ years) and cashed out for a whole new system, but I kept the same power supply. Sadly, when I pressed to boot up my new system after putting it all together, I heard the same high pitched noise and no startup.

Is it safe to assume that my PSU is dead? If it is dead, why does the motherboard have power?

When I first built a pc I had to install the os to a drive using a flash drive. Do I have to do this again, or can I take my old drive with the os installed out of my old pc and put it into my new one and I’m good to go?

I have Alienware R16 with 2 USB ports, but I use a lot of Razer Products and 2 ports on my laptop is not enough. I struggle to find a good USB extension that will work with all products as I constantly use 4 USB ports and sometimes more, if anything needs to be charged.

I need a USB extension that will take all my Razer setup - my mouse (Death Adder V2 Pro), microphone (Siren V2 X), keyboard (Blackwidow V3 Mini) and headset (Blackshark V2 Pro).

Previously bought some cheap ones, but they only take USBs for my keyboard and mouse, and not the headset, microphone or any charging USBs.

Any recommendations please? Thanks a lot, I will highly appreciate your help in case you own a working hub for your Razer products.

For example, is Team MP33 M.2 NVMe SSD better than Standard 7200 RPM HDD Seagate/WDC?

I know HDD is cheaper for more storage than SSD, but is SSD worth it if I buy the cheapest one?

Thank you for answering.

Hi! I’ve recently joined the PC world of wonders, so everything is still kinda new to me. I built my first ever PC last December, but i’ve been playing on my 60hz 4k Television since then, which has caused me some issues.

Now i finally decided to buy a new monitor, and i ended up buying: Asus 31,5" ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDM, 240Hz 4K UHD. After this purchase i still have some money saved up and thought i could upgrade my current setup to fully reach the 4k potential the new monitor supposedly can offer.

But the thing is im quite lost on what components i have to upgrade in order to achieve a smooth transition. Only plan i currently have is to see if 4090 will become cheaper in Q4 this year and if it doesnt i’ll propably buy it anyway ”local retail price is around 1700-1900€ currently” but what other components do i have to upgrade to not hinder the new GPU? Im mainly looking to play Singleplayer games on ideally Max settings and 4k ”RT on or off doesnt matter much to me”. And i mainly just play and watch youtube on my PC no editing or streaming if that has something to do with CPU choices?

Here is my current setup: Case: Lian Li Lancool 3 RGB GPU: Asus GeForce RTX 4070 Ti TUF 12GB CPU: Intel core i5 13600k LGA1700 3,5GHz 24mb Motherboard: Asus TUF Z790-PLUS WIFI 2x DDR5 16GB fury beast 5600MHz CL36 PSU: Asus 850w TUF ATX 80+ Gold Kraken Elite 360mm AIO COOLER 1x Samsung 1TB Ssd 1x Be quiet Fan cooler

Thanks for all the help! I’ll gladly answer questions if it helps in recommendations!

I have a Ryzen 7 1700 build with a MSI B350 Tomahawk ATX AM4 Motherboard and Corsair Vengeance LED 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3000 RAM. I want to upgrade the RAM to 64GB or maybe even more, but I'm a little confused. I've found several sources (including the manual) that say this motherboard supports up to 64GB, but on the MSI website it actually says 128GB. My initial plan was to just buy 2x32GB and remove the old RAM, but I'm not sure if that's possible or if 64GB can only be achieved using 4x16GB, if the maximum RAM is 64GB?

Does anyone know if there is a fan controller I can use with my Phanteks D30 fans into? I have one single fan and two that are three fans daisy chained together.

a while back i got a gaming chair for my desk, and i have liked it, but if i sit on it for a while, especially a while for multiple days, i get awful tailbone pain, is there any specific chair on amazon i could get, gaming or office chair? id prefer anything under $200, but ill see what i can do

thanks!

Hello! I am planning to reward myself this coming December and I'm having second thoughts if I should buy a PS5 or upgrade my 4 year old PC. For context, I've owned PS4 console since 2018 and I have always wanted to buy PS5 since launch. My budget will be around $500 (I live in a third world country).

Here's the specs of my PC:

• Gigabyte Aorus Elite B450m

• Ryzen 7 3700x

• 16gb DDR4 Ram 3200mhz

• RTX 2060 super (MSI Ventus)

• Seasonic Focus 650w 80+ gold

• Asus VP249QGR 24" 1080p 144hz

If you suggest the latter, what do I upgrade first?

Hi everyone. Been using a 7900 XTX Taichi White for almost a year now, and currently debating whether I should upgrade to a 4080 Super for 150$ more.

I'm mostly looking for stability on my build as I've had so many problems with the AMD drivers ever since I got this GPU. Games crashing due to driver errors (can I see the crash history? would love to share it with you), high power consumption when using 2 monitors (seems to be mostly fixed now) and some coil whine when looking in specific directions when playing some games in ultra. Also not a fan of the Adrenaline software, last week I couldn't even launch it and had to use DDU to fix it. My previous GPU was a 2070 and I don't remember having a single problem with it.

My CPU is a 7800X3D and I have no complains about it, it's perfect really. The issue is the 7900 XTX has been so disappointing that I'm considering selling it and getting a 4080 Super. I don't really know how stable NVIDIA drivers are currently, so I'd like to know more about it, or if I should just wait for the 5000 series.

Thanks in advance!

So, I have a problem with my PC. When I'm doing light tasks, it works perfectly fine, but when I launch a game, the monitor loses its connection and shows 'no signal,' and then my GPU fans start to blast. I checked the temperatures of my GPU and CPU, and they seem normal.

Hi everybody.

This problem started off as having lots of issues with my Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 audio interface with audio popping and clicking and obviously came to the conclusion the audio interface was faulty.

On testing the interface on another PC it worked fine. So i reinstalled drivers for it on my own PC but issue still remained with audio popping and cracking (no sound card) and interface was plugged into USB ports on the mobo. It resulted in me not using the interface at all but I have audio popping and crackling issues on all other sound devices whether it's the back panel or front panel and even blue tooth headphones all suffer from the same issues.

I eventually reinstalled the OS but this did not solve the issues at all.

Testng on latencymon I get a lot of latency issues:

CONCLUSION
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Your system appears to be having trouble handling real-time audio and other tasks. You are likely to experience buffer underruns appearing as drop outs, clicks or pops. One or more DPC routines that belong to a driver running in your system appear to be executing for too long. Also one or more ISR routines that belong to a driver running in your system appear to be executing for too long. One problem may be related to power management, disable CPU throttling settings in Control Panel and BIOS setup. Check for BIOS updates.

But moving on from that I started getting whea in-correctable error and Machine code exception on boot up and decided then that it wasn't a driver issue but hardware. I had done all SFC scan tests and memtests which all came back ok with no issue for concern.

I then decided it might be the m.2 where my OS system was installed that was faulty and cloned my system onto another ssd in the system. The whea in-correctable error/Machine Code exceptions stopped but I'm still getting audio popping and crackling.

So I'm thinking it's my mobo that's on the way out and the reason why I can't pin an exact reason.

I have little to no budget to fix the issue other than to replace the motherboard. (I do fully plan for a total new PC next year but no budget in place for that) Not sure if it's a total waste of money replacing the board or looking at a makeshift cpu/mobo bundle which I could stretch to if really needed because I don't know if the replacement mobo will actually correct the issue. (my front panel USB ports are also on the blink so new case needed too lol)

I did see this morning and was looking for some advice on viability:
https://www.scan.co.uk/products/gigabyte-b650-eagle-ax-motherboard-and-amd-ryzen-7-7800x3d-retail?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=feed_clicks&utm_content=surfaces_across_google

Would this be a short term solution over the next 1yr 1/2?

Appreciate any and all advice. Cheers guys, long first post but looking forward to getting rid of some of this brain fog!

Hello, I'm currently rebuilding my PC in a new case and I was wondering where does this little connector goes in my mother board ? My mother board is an ab350m pro4 r2.0 and this connector is a cable coming from a RGB controller for fans on my PC. Only 2 wires are connected even tho there's 3 pins on the connector, on the notice it says to plug it in a ±5vd g, I can't see where does it belong to ?

Will the 9600x CPU have higher FPS than a 7600 CPU when playing single players games at 1440p resolution and a 4070 TI super?

So I recently upgraded to a used 6700 XT, and it coil whined like crazy on my 550W single rail daisy chain pcie cable. Of course, since my case is small, the cable was bending quite a bit too, but it wasn't too bad in my opinion. Tried undervolting, underclocking, and everything, nothing worked. So I ignored the whine for a few weeks, since I couldn't afford to upgrade my PSU.

Fast forward to today, I was playing around with case fan configuration for better temp, and decided to rewire my pcie power cable, ziptied it to the bottom of the case, and round the bend out a little bit so it wouldn't bend as harsh, just to be safe.

Thinking nothin of it, I turned the PC on, run some benchmark, and noticed something missing. The coil whine is gone. Well, it's still there if I put my ears closer to the case, but it's reduced by a good 80-90%. I almost thought that it's the fan noise.

I can't believe it's fixed so easily like that in my case. I'm so excited about it I have to hop on and share this on reddit lol. Small moments like this can make PC building so much fun :)

TL;DR: If you have coil whine, try straighten up your pcie power cable. It helped me, and maybe you too. Or it might not, but still something that should be done regardless. Don't be like me and skip out on something so basic.

PS: Also, if the bottom of your case in less than 4 inches from the GPU, adding bottom fans can make thermal worse. I know some ppl been saying that, but I gotta test it out for myself :P

Im about to order a ryzen 5 7600x. The tray price is about 30 35 dollars cheaper than boxed version, im thinking about buying a cooler with that price but i must say im worried that tray box is gonna get damaged and wont work, extra 35 dollars are worth the original box?

I currently have an RX 590, and have around ~200$ to spend on a used GPU. Im looking between a rtx 2080 super (240$) or a 3060ti (220$).

So I want to get new graphics card and a CPU and I have two options but I can't decide.Firstly should I get the Amd Ryzen 5 5600X or the Ryzen 7 5800G.And for the graphics card I am debating between the Nvidia 4060 Ti 16 gb or the Amd 6700 XT 12gb.I will use the PC to play games like GTA 5,God of War, Minecraft,Fortnite and many more.I will love any suggestions you guys give me.

Hello,

I’m looking at upgrading to one of these monitors. This is exclusively for planet coaster 2 as I play everything else on console. So response time isn’t a huge factor for me, I would rather better picture quality.

Any advice is welcome. ATM I’m leaning towards the ViewSonic as it has a wider colour depth (is that an important point?)

Also would love to hear any other monitor suggestions in a similar ballpark to these two.

Thanks

I have a build ready with 7900 GRE and now I am confused between Samsung Odyssey G5 S27CG51 and Gigabyte GS27Q.

Some factors making me confused are

1. After Sale Service (India): Samsung has my brand trust, I have been using their products for past 25 years and have faced no issues in after sale services whereas Gigabyte has only one service center in my city and perhaps I'd have to be the one to reach out to them if any issue arises.
2. VA vs IPS: Samsung being a VA panel with 250 nits peak brightness (but I have a dark room) vs 300 nits of Gigabyte.
3. Viewing angle: Gigabyte model being IPS has better viewing angle.
4. Ergonomics: Samsung Odyssey G5 has better ergonomics with height adjustment, swivel and portrait mode which are missing in gs27q.

Please help! Thanks.

Hello!

i am building a pc for the first time and am kind of nervous. I have a 4tb Seagate Internal Hardrive I bought for my prebuilt PC that has my games and software programs installed on it. Its not the Drive that I have windows installed on or anything. I was wondering if I could just unplug the thing and put it in the new PC I'm building and have everything on it work fine. It would just be a storage drive as I plan on installing my new copy of windows on an SSD. I've been looking online and through reddit posts but haven't been able to find anything super clear. I appreciate any advice given.

Thanks!
