My GPU needs to be lifted up like half an inch or a full inch, because one of the fans is slightly tapping the hard drive cage, and only once the fans start spinning faster does it start making a noise. I was wondering if I could slide in a metal multi-tool under it to lift it up. It's a 7800 XT...

I have a heavy CPU bottleneck (Ryzen 5 5500) and it's not a great pairing with my 7800 XT, but honestly I don't really notice it that much. I only notice it when my GPU decides to lower the wattage when it believes it doesn't need it. I could be getting steady performance, but the gpu will...

Ok, yeah you are probably right. I thought I could get away with it, but I guess not. Thanks.

No. Should I have? I really didn't have a way to back up my computer, but if I have to I will.

Yes, I know. Although I'm not really noticing it in gaming performance. I'm still playing most games above 100fps at ultra 1440p. Which is better than my old RTX 2060 and i5 8400, so I'm cool with it for now. I don't think it's what's causing my current problems though. I've researched some...

I built my new pc a couple of days ago, but I kept a couple of parts from my old system (ram and storage). It's been pretty okay, but I know on startup it felt slower than my old i5 8400. After a while though it usually gets faster with time. This morning though I turned it on and didn't...

Yeah this is what I was thinking. I think best buy que system is probably my best option, or that's what I'm hearing from some people.

I thought I wouldn't want the new GPUs, because of the bots and scalpers, but looking at the new leaks and the supposed leaked performance of the 9070 XT I kind of want to wait and see if I can even buy a GPU. I've never tried to buy a GPU on launch, and I have bought a GPU in 5 years since the...

It's mainly just reddit people from what I've seen no actual sources saying so, but this thread reassures me and makes feel a little silly.

I've been trying to buy a 7800xt for the past couple of weeks now, but every time I do they're out of stock. I got really close on newegg they even took my money and said they were "packaging" the GPU, but then voided the order and now I have to wait a week for my money to come back into my...

I'm not fully aware of daisy chaining means in terms of PCIe cables, but what I'm thinking it is is 1 cable with another cable that is coming out of the PCIe connector head. The cable is 1 cable with 2 6 + 2 connectors attached. If that's what daisy chaining is then that's the cable I can on the...

Just bought a 7800xt and then I bought a Thermaltake Toughpower GF3 powersupply and the PSU comes with daisy chain PCIe cables. I was wondering if that was okay or if I needed to buy more cables? I'd prefer not to. This power supply does seem to have a lot of protections against and other...

I'd go with those power supplies but a lot of them are out of my budget. I also looked up superflower on their website, and all of the Power supplies are set to $0 I don't think they're selling right now. I also looked up what you and other people meant by ATX3.0, and I believe you are right...

Is this not a good tier list to look off of (https://cultists.network/140/psu-tier-list/)? I was about to buy a thermaltake GF1 which is a tier A single rail PSU. PSU: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0CKY716F9/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&th=1

You talking about my current PSU in my current build? The one above I don't have yet, but I am going to buy. Gives me a lot of security and it's A tier. My current PSU is actually bronze rated 650W Here is my current build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/sCs89C I had a bunch of people here and...
