I toggled it and powered it on a couple times but it doesn’t appear to have a difference

Which way is which?

I didn’t know that was a thing, how do you switch?

I’ll try to state the problem as simply as I can: My sister bought a computer. It had an XFX RX580 GTS Black Edition. I have the same graphics cards in one of my builds. I switch out the graphics cards and the one I have works in both systems. However, the one that my sister got with her...

Are there any 3080 founders edition cards in prebuilts? I desperately want a 3080 FE and figured one of the ways to actually get one is to get a prebuilt pc and transplant it from the prebuilt to the custom one I built that I use as my gaming rig. I figure they’re not in any prebuilts bc...

It’ll have 32GB of RAM at 3200 MHz, an 850 watt psu, and for now I only have a 1080p monitor but in the future I might make the switch to 1440p. I wasn’t planning on getting any graphics card for it until the summer when I get back from school, so I was thinking the NVIDIA 30 series might be...

I recently bought a gaming pc online that had everything but a graphics card included, what sort of GPU would be appropriate to put in a build with an Intel i7 9700F? Would something like the 3060 ti be overkill? How do you determine what kind of card to put in your system?

My PC specs: CPU: Intel i5 8400 GPU: XFX RX580 GTS Black Edition MOBO: ASRock B360Pro4 RAM: 2 x 8GB Corsair Vengeance LPX 2666 MHz PSU: SeaSonic m12II 620 watt Storage: MX500 500GB SSD and M.2 Samsung 970 EVO 500GB I was thinking of shrinking my build to a mini itx from a regular ATX to save a...

Here are my PC specs: CPU: Intel i5 8400 GPU: Radeon RX580 MOBO: ASRock B360Pro4 RAM: 2 x 8GB Corsair Vengeance LPX 2666 MHz PSU: SeaSonic m12II 620 watt Storage: MX500 500GB SSD What should be my next upgrade? Is my setup bottlenecked at all? Edit: Thanks so much for the responses! I really...

Hi All, I have been gaming on my custom built PC for a few months now but ran into a problem. I have only played older games up until this point (not demanding on the system at all). When I went to play a newer game today, I got in the lobby, entered the match, and a few minutes in, the game...

Hi all, I have decided to take some of my recently acquired knowledge of PCs to try and diagnose the problem with a prebuilt PC for a family member. Unfortunately I am unable to figure out the problem. Like I said in the description, the PC does turn on, but does not display anything onto the...

I was wondering if there was a website that tells you which component in your build is the "weakest". I'm not currently looking for an upgrade, I was just looking for a resource to check in the future when I do. Thanks for taking the time to read :) -AlphaSpartan

Hey all- I just recently built my first gaming computer and, for some reason, my PC will not display anything to my monitor. Fans are running, lights are on, and appears to be working- except for the fact it doesn't display anything. It has not POSTed yet or been activated in any way, and it has...

Hi All, I am a beginner when it comes to PC building. I have never build a PC in my life, and just got into PC building two weeks ago or so. I want to switch from console to PC gaming, and hopefully my end result is a solid gaming PC that will run games well, under $750. I made a pcpartpicker...
