    Question PC BUILD - £1500

    All looks good to me. Only minor things. Fx I would go for this card instead of windforce, only 30 bucks more, but it has bigger heatsink and boosts higher. Also 850W PS might be an overkill, i think 750W is plenty for your setup. That is if you can find cheaper than the one you already have...

    [SOLVED] New system build help please, $1500 budget (flexible)

    Hi, It works fine with new ryzen 3000 BUT it needs to be updated to the new bios version. Most sellers offer this for 10 buck where I live. Other option is to download that BIOS to your flashdisc and flash it from that. You don't need older CPU to do that. That is another great feature of this...

    [SOLVED] New system build help please, $1500 budget (flexible)

    Regarding the CPU heatsink, yes it should fit, the case has a 165mm clearance and the heatsink is 162,8. So it will be close but will fit. If you were to splurge a bit of cash for something maybe more stylish, I highly recommend this one -...

    [SOLVED] New 3700X/2070Super WHITE RGB build advice

    Okay, Lian Li it is. Then you should stick with your AIO. You are correct, 2070 Super is a better value, but given your list, I did not get an impression that this build will be value oriented. Stick with that 2070 Super, as it is a very good card for 1440p and definitely more on the value for...

    [SOLVED] New system build help please, $1500 budget (flexible)

    Yes, you download a Windows 10 ISO on a flash drive, do a new install and when it asks for a code you put in the one you have bought. Just by the code from sources with a lot of good reviews, but I guess that is obvious. RGB are those colorful flashing fans/light strips ,etc. It is something...

    [SOLVED] New 3700X/2070Super WHITE RGB build advice

    How set are you on that case? this PC-O11 can´t with large air coolers. And I have an idea for an awesome white build, but it won't fit in this case. It would feature Noctua NH d15 chromax with white covers as its main attraction. If you are wondering how does it look like with the white...

    [SOLVED] New system build help please, $1500 budget (flexible)

    I would need more information. Is your only plan gaming? Are you planning to maybe stream in the future? If only gaming, with a budget around 1500 you can effectively power a 1440p 144Hz monitor. So I would shoot for that budget. Regarding the peripherals, that is very personal requirement. I...

    Question 3700X All core boost, R20 scores

    I had to push it to 1,44V to counter the Vdroop, since my shitty mobo doesn´t have an option to use LLC. That 5255 was max score on daily windows aswell. Cb20 stops caring about RAM at around 3600 Cl16 and above, so i think best upgrade would be better motherboard and maybe liquid cooling. Not...

    Question 3700X All core boost, R20 scores

    [SOLVED] First super build need to diagnose issue

    Well, 850W PSU should be able to run the most power hungry 1 cpu/gpu desktop system you can buy so, PSU is not an issue in this matter. Does the crash only occurs during games?

    [SOLVED] First super build need to diagnose issue

    Sounds like GPU driver problems, or faulty GPU. 1000W is definitely not necessary, your system won´t even go near 800W at max consumption. Try usning DDu https://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html and reinstalling drivers, also after that screen crash, check...

    [SOLVED] New system build - good for VR?

    Yup, definitely capable of pushing VR, you know, since 2080 Ti is still best consumer GPU money can buy. NH D15 is great choice over most AIO, so props for that. Only thing i would change personally is mobo, i just can´t stand gigabyte BIOS.

    Question PC freeze with green skulls

    GPU was dead. VRAM problem probably. Had to return it sadly.

    Question Friends system

    I would go for this, he can play most games on lower details above 60fps. And if he decides he wants to get a GPU upgrade, he can later buy RX570, pop it in, an game on.
