After digging around a bit more, I'm torn between just buying a new AM4 CPU or upgrading mobo, ram and CPU. From my limited research and knowledge, the AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D seems give a significant performance boost for the amount of money it costs, while upgrading to AM5 will probably give me an...

System info says: American Megatrends Inc. 5404, 18-Mar-24 At some point in the not-so-distant-future I am going to switch out mobo, ram and processor, so I'm not going to buy a slightly better CPU that would fit the current setup, as that would be money out the window. Usually they have...

Hi there! During the summer I upgraded my GPU to keep up with the demand of current games, and although it significantly boosted my performance coming from a 1070ti, it seems to be underperforming compared to similar setups. I have struggled with keeping up with the refresh rate of my monitor...

Yes, still crashed when exiting games. Although something dawned on my last night. I have been using 2 PCIe cables, one single and one daisy-chained. Did some research and there seems to be a lot of conflicting info. Some report that they have been using it like that for a year without any...

From my testing, everything posts when the PC is laying down. Once I erect (lol) the PC, it does not post. I tried to put slight pressure on the GPU when it was laying down to simulate the massive weight of the GPU, and then the artifacts appear on the monitor. Either the MoBo PCI slot can't...

I just sent the PSU back, and I'm getting the Corsair RM1000x 1000W tomorrow. Something that i have failed to notice/mention that has been going on this whole time after the shutdowns is that the PC takes longer to post(?). After i press the power button, everything inside starts up normally...

Yea, at this stage I'm not really sure what to do. Cash out and upgrade the PSU and test it with the 7900 xtx? RMA the card and get an ASUS TUF card instead as that is similarly priced (the other xtx cards are 200-500$ extra, no chance i'm doing that). RMA both or just the card and test it with...

none of that seemed to be needed when I installed the old GPU. Although i did have that file on a usb stick, as i update the bios last week

I plugged in the old GPU, and the PC booted up without any issues. This leaves me to believe that the GPU is the problem, and possibly the integrated GPU in the CPU. Now I'm uncertain of the right cause of action, but after talking with the shop, i could just hand in the old PSU and get another...

That video was taken with 7900 xtx in. I kind of emptied my cash reserve going for those parts, so those psu's are out of my price range at the moment, although I have room to stretch it a bit further in terms money. Is it really necessary to go that high in wattage? The peak draw of the card...

Hi there! I recently bought a new GPU and PSU and everything seemed to go swimmingly during my first few hours of playing cyberpunk. Then I tried to hit the overclock preset in the AMD Adrenalin software, which instantly resulted in a black screen and the PC crashing. It took a few tries to...

Hi there After a lot of searching and trial and error, i decided to make a post to see if someone could help me out. Recently i got my friends old XPS 720 since he got him self a new pc and mine was a severely outdated laptop. As it stands now, i'm really short on cash so i'm looking for a way...
