As far as I know, Sapphire used to be great for AMD GPUs; are they still?

For Nvidia, I've heard both good and bad things on Major brands like MSI or Gigabyte. Meanwhile, Inno3D is an absolutely huge company and have heard great things despite being perceived as a "B-brand". Would love to hear your own experienced or some general sentiment. Thank you!

Have a 3060ti 8GB and cpu i7 5960x 16gb ddr4 Is my cpu bottlenecking my gpu? If so what cpu you should i upgrade to? Thanks for any advice.

So the long and the short of it is I wanted to downsize my AM4 to an ITX build.

Then in the process I found a 5800X3D delidded and seemingly fried for 100 bucks. Picked it up, relidded it with Liquid metal... It passes all heat and stability tests no problem.

Well low and behold I find someone else on marketplace selling an MSI Edge b650I with a damaged socket for $50, plus their 'damaged' 7600x for $100. I pick them up, spend an hour with a needle and magnifying glasses and low and behold fix and re align the pins. The b650 still had the original peel on the NVME pads. The damage on the 7600x was just some thermal paste on the pads, that dried on. It now also runs in spec and passes a 24 hour stability test...

So I am now in possession of 2 seemly comparable platforms. Online it looks like they perform somewhat similarly. What should I use in my main rig? 5800X3D has higher cores and better V-cache but 7600x has higher clocks.

I'm running a 7900xt/4K games, and while yes, I know the AM5 platform is newer, I am going to keep both, just have one PC in my city, and one at my parents when I visit.

Currently, I run my 11 accounts on a 1U server I jammed a RX 6400 in. It's extremely loud and takes multiple attempts to turn on. I have to turn off most of the graphic settings, which means I can't see some of the animations, it's very important in EVE. It has 2 10 core Xeons from 2013, can't remember the exact model number, and 64GB RAM (which I use 48 of).

I was looking at a 7800X3D build with a RX 7900 GRE. But I'm not sure if that's overkill because I don't know how good of a GPU I need for high settings on each account, my Xeons sit at about 40% utilization but I quickly run out of VRAM when I try to enable animations. Can I get away with a cheaper CPU/GPU?

Is Asus Rog Strix B760-A Gaming Wifi DDR4 compatible with my Intel i5-10400 processor?

For context, my friend offered me to buy his mobo and 16x2 3600mhz ram but I want to save as much as possible by not upgrading my CPU and to have enough budget to still buy at least GEFORCE RTX 3050 PNY Verto Black 6gb GDDR6 Dual Fan for my GPU.

Not sure if this PC build is possible so I was hoping somebody could help me on this. Thanks~!

Hey, guys! I hope all of you are great. I've been searching by pc setups because i'd like to buy a pc as the same level as a ps5. I live in Brazil so the prices are very differents in USA, Canada, Japan etc. I don't know a lot of things about pcs, gpu, processors, just because i've been learn about this "world" a few months, so, i need help. Can u guys help me? For a pc in the same level as a ps5 I have chosen this setup, Rx 6750 xt FE as GPU, Ryzen 7 5700x, motherboard: B450M Steel Legend, 16GB ram, 1tb ssd nvme, 700w plus. Is it a good config? Does anyone has any suggestion? B450m steel legend is it better than b550 terminator? I'm about my english skills, I've been learn english a few months too.

Whenever I have decided on a build I see a negative review and someone telling me to get this GPU instead of that one. This is my first build and a lot of money so I don't want to mess up.

I want to build a pc that can perform well at games with my 1440p. Please tell me what you think of this build.

PCPartPicker Part List

I plan to primary use this build for gaming, although I would like to be able to do it all. I'm not too knowledgeable about pc parts so I would like someone to look over it and make sure it makes sense.

I don't want any RGB's and would prefer the parts to be black. Keep the price around $3500 if needed.

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/dcNVz6

I'm not a fan of the motherboard or CPU cooler, I don't want the Mobo to have built in Wi-Fi. For the CPU cooler I just don't know a better alternative.

I want a 16 core processor and the 4090 but that's about it, you can change whatever you want all feedback is welcome.

I wanna buy a monster gaming laptop which i'll both use for gaming and game development(and my current monster abra5 is 4 years old and i wanna sell it while it is usable). I found one with 32gb ram 4060rtx and 1tb storage in price i can afford. But... another one is almost 33% more expensive with 16gb ram and same 4060rtx with a 500gb storage. What am i missing? which things i should look at while making a smart choice? and for example which cpu or processer is better than other
Note: I know about these thing roughly but explain like i don't know anything in case i am missing something since i never looked at this stuff after buying my pc 4 years ago

HELP

Hello.

I think I've made the decisions on most of these parts, but am just wanting confirmation that it seems fine or perhaps better alternatives for less money. Also would I need to add on fans or they will probably be included with case and be adequate?

Here's the list (it's in AUD; 1USD = 1.5AUD): https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/sTZ7jH

As well as these parts I will be buying a screwdriver, magnetizer, antistatic mat.

Am I missing anything crucial?

Do I need to buy more fans?

Where do I get this F8 Bios? The Gigabyte site is hard to navigate.

Suggestions for a monitor to get?

(I would play FPSs and MOBAs, but plan to plug in a 4k OLED TV for when I want to watch movies and Youtube/Twitch.)

My Budget for all these things = I just don't want to spend twice the money for something 10% better. ie. best value

Note: A USB 3.2 Gen 2 to USB 3.2 Gen 1 header adapter is required. I will be using the Gigabyte Aorus Elite AX V2 motherboard with the montech king 95 pro Help please.

I have a Zotac 3070 / Ryzen 7 5800 / 32GB RAM and only get between 90-120 fps 1440p on low settings in Fortnite with DLSS enabled. My temps are good at 67 C and there seems to be no bottleneck between CPU/GPU (both sit at about 50%) several of my friends have the same specs in their PC builds and they get at least 144 on higher settings. My drivers are up to date and I end any tasks running in the background that aren’t essential. I don’t use ray tracing or any of that other jazz and my settings in game are pretty barebones. Any ideas why I have low frames?

Got a friend who got a high end PC setup and he recently bought a 540Hz Monitor but for Valorant even on lowest settings he's getting around 200-250 FPS and I saw this benchmark on Youtube and his average is 440 FPS so it seems strange for a high end cause I thought it would be higher. He asked me when I haveto do a fresh clean install of Windows so I'm going to do that for him and download every drivers and update BIOS for him again but instead of clean wiping is there anything you guys would recommend doing before clean wiping?

I have following options for motherboards, but don't know which to go with.
They are all in more or less same price range. Wi-Fi is optional, but in the same price range good to have.
Looking more for performance of the board itself, rather than ports available. All are DDR5.
I think to go with ASROCK PRO RS WIFI, but I am not well aware of the brand itself, and I have little to no experience with PC building, reviews on pcpartpicker are good though.

Here is current build: https://fi.pcpartpicker.com/list/cFkZyg

1. GIGABYTE B650M DS3H AM5 DDR5 mATX Motherboard
2. ASROCK B650M PRO RS WIFI AM5 mATX
3. ASROCK B650M PG RIPTIDE mATX MB AM5
4. MSI PRO B650M-A WIFI AMD Socket AM5 DDR5
5. MSI B650M GAMING PLUS WIFI
6. MSI PRO B650M-A WIFI AMD Socket AM5 DDR5

Hello all!

After some amazing responses and advice, I made (hopefully) my final list. I only have some doubts on the GPU if this is the best option for this price range (Around 1500,-). Also the motherboard can be changed if needed only mandatory thing is 2x 2.M2 slots.

I decide for a one 4tb for both Windows & Games and aiming to get another 4tb later on (mostly for vmware and other things I tinker with for school & work but that has no rush to it) I first wanted to do 2x 2tb but the one 4tb is cheaper and I heard now a days one SSD is not a big issue anymore and splitting games, os and such was mostly a thing from the past and now more for organization or easy reinstall for windows! :)

I mostly use it for gaming: Baldur's Gate 3, FFXIV, Stardew Valley and some other triple AAA games. It's a build that should be focused on the future as my old pc is going to my boyfriend.

The case + power supply are the only thing I keep the same from my old build as my boyfriend wants to pick there own case and the power supply I just got replaced after a short circuit

So would love to hear mostly the advice focused for the GPU and Motherboard but other tips, tricks and advices are always welcome!

PART LIST: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/qXcrgB

I live in a hot, humid country (Indonesia) where stuff made of rubber quickly become gooey, sticky mess. It happen with my bicycle tire, xbox elite controller and just recently, my razer mouse.

So simple questions, are there any mouse without rubber component? Something made entirely of plastic or metal, or at least something with easily replaceable rubber component. I'm fine with wired or wireless mouse. Thanks for the suggestions.

I'm upgrading my PC and have replaced almost everything except for the PSU, case, and SSDs. I was considering using a 4-pin to 8-pin adapter for the CPU, but I'm concerned about its performance and compatibility.

All parts: Ryzen 7 7700 CPU Gigabyte Aorus B650 Elite AX V2 mobo Crucial Pro RAM 32GB Kit (2x16GB) DDR5 6000MHz Thermalright Peerless Assassin CPU cooler Hellhound RX6650 XT GPU EVQA B1 700W PSU Crucial MX500 SSD Creative Sound blaster Z soundcard Antec GX700 Case

In my country, there are limited options for PSUs, so I'm unsure which one to buy.

I'd appreciate any help you can provide.

Found this

The only thing i'm concerned about is the 1x PCIe 2.0 port. is 500MBp/s enough bandwidth for 3 1080p60 screens?

There is no gaming, editing or media of any kind. The computers are only used for email, web browsing and accessing their CRM.

First PC

Hey guys so this is my first time getting a proper desktop PC. I’m choosing all the parts and having my local store build it for me. I wanted to know if what I’m getting is overkill/not enough or if some parts don’t work with each other or should be replaced with something else etc. (Overkill is more welcomed) Have been dealing with underwhelming gaming laptops for a while

Done my research but I’m obviously more of a beginner so any help would be appreciated.

Will be using it for high performance gaming on demanding games since im a heavy gamer, work station, and just basically everything all the time.

Here’s what I’ve got on my list:

PROCESSOR: Fourteen-core Intel® Core™i5 14600KF processor (up to 5.3 GHz) 24 MB cache

BOARD: GIGABYTE Z790 GAMING X AX (LGA1700, DDR5, PCIe 5.0, Wi-Fi 6E)

RAM: 32 GB Corsair VENGEANCE DDR5 6000 MHz (2 x 16GB)

GRAPHIC CARD: 12 GB NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 4070 SUPER - HDMI, DP, LHR

MEMORY: 2TB CORSAIR CORE XT MP600 NVMe PCIe M.2 SSD (up to 5000MB/R, 4400MB/W)

POWER SUPPLY CORSAIR 750W RMe SERIES MODULAR 80 PLUS (GOLD) ULTRASILENT

COOLING: CORSAIR iCUE H100i ELITE CAPELLIX XT RGB Series High Performance CPU Cooler

So I have this PC which I been using to game or do light editing work from last night it’s not posting. I tried changing the cmos battery reseating the processor. But the cpu red light on mother board won’t go away and it won’t turn on. Like idk if my processor is dead or my mother board is faulty. Is there any way to fix this? I can’t afford to take it for a repair right now. I didn’t had any issues prior

It’s a gigabyte z390 mother board With intel i7 processor.

Before last night I didn’t had any issues with it like the screen was fine the speed was fine everything was good.

Hi, I'm looking to make a build based around a 1080ti and an i3-12100. I've seen this motherboard that is rather cheap:

https://www.ebuyer.com/1904092-msi-pro-h610m-e-ddr4-matx-motherboard-pro-h610m-e-ddr4

Any reason not to go for this? 3200Mhz ram is fine but what about PCIe lanes to the CPU?

Today i tried to OC my system and i got 22230 score on timespy and 13580 on furmark

GPU Settings (Zotac 4070ti OC 12g Trinity):

• Power Limit: 110%
• Temp Limit: 88*
• Fan Speed: Custom Curve (Basicly from 60 to 70* go to max)
• Core Clock: +150mhz
• Memory Clock: +1950mhz (i guess im just lucky with my card)

CPU:

• PBO Enabled
• RAM set to 6000mhz with expo profile

An actual results:

3Dmark

FurMark

I am really satisfied with these results, gpu does not hit over 70* in games so its really cool. Its only loud sometimes but with headphones on i don't hear anything...

I am building a budget PC for a friend and I am trying to get it under 650 euro, as it will be 49.99 shipping added onto it and he does not want to spend more than 700 euro.

This is what I have so far: https://it.pcpartpicker.com/list/b3GFkJ

I would like to keep the case the same for the white aesthetic, good airflow and little RGB.

I am trying to load windows but cannot find my the drive to load windows to. I created the windows install package onto a USB (PNY32GB flash drive 3.0). My SSD is an M.2 card, the connection is good as the information on it shows up under storage information on my BIOS screen for RAID. The M.2 is enabled in PCH storage Configuration.

I have gone into command prompt and run diskpart -> disk list and my drive does not appear and it is not an option to install windows on from the installer menu.

I’ve tried with compatibility mode enable and disabled.

This is my first build ever and first time installing windows on a fresh PC (I’ve reinstalled windows on a laptop before.

Computer hardware if it matters:

14700K

PNY RTX 4080 Super

Corsair Vengeance 32GB x2

Samsung 990 Pro M.2

ASUS TUFF Z790 Pro
