Good evening, I've had an issue occur today that I've never encountered before with which I could use some advice if possible please. Any assistance would be much appreciated as I'm stumped. This occurred whilst the my monitor (Dell S2716DG) connected to my desktop was on and I was doing...

Ryzen 3700x Other stuff: Fractal S36+ Prisma (3 x 120mm argb fans) 2 x 200mm argb front fans 1 x 120mm exhaust fan 2 x monitors (1440p) 1 x nvme 500GB SSD ASUS ROG Strix x570 motherboard 16GB RAM (3600Mhz) A few other peripherals + extras (mouse, keyboard, external HDD, external SSD) etc...

OK, thanks, will keep an eye on it!

Hi Eximo, Thanks for your response! Regarding your point on the high power spikes - it's a difficult one... I see plenty of people saying that the newer cards can cause high power spikes but also some people also saying that 750W is more than enough! Worst comes to the worst, I could always...

Hiya, Planning on installing a new GPU (KFA2 3080ti HOF), upgrading from old Palit 1070. The new GPU needs 3 x 8-pin connectors. Haven't done an upgrade this big before and currently use an RM750x. I believe this model has four 8-pin connectors (so one for the CPU which is only a 3700X so not...

OK folks, revised build, costs a bit more but should be more in-line with your suggestions: Be Quiet! Pure Base 500 (Switched to this for the noise, I know the thermals aren't as good) Ryzen 7 3800X w/ Corsair H150i Asus Prime X570 Pro 16Gb Vengeance Pro 3200MHz ROG Strix 2080 Super OC Seagate...

Thanks King. V! Good points!

Fantastic advice, thanks to both you and cdrkf

Thanks both for the comments! I will strongly consider Ryzen based on your feedbacks - whenever I compare the 3700X or 3800X to the it-9600k though I find they're a bit more expensive but with very similar games performance. Clearly better for work when you need extra thread counts though but...

Hi folks, I'm looking to put together a new PC build following the death of my previous one. I've put together some initial specs and would really appreciate your expert advice, comments and feedback! I'm looking to use it as a work PC (nothing too strenuous) but more importantly to play games...

Hiya, Thanks again for your help. Computer died completely this afternoon and won't turn on (when under next to no load). I'm nearly certain that your diagnosis is correct. I'll be taking it to a PC store tomorrow and will see what diagnosis I get! Unfortunately my old system's PSU is 650W so I...

Hi, First off, thanks very much for the reply! I thought it could maybe be something to do with the PSU. One query though - when I replaced the 2080Ti with the 1070 (which I think is more like 200W), I still encountered the same issue. Could just be that the power supply is on the way out...

Good evening folks, I have recently (past three weeks) been experiencing an unusual error that I haven't seen before. When I play a graphics intensive game (say, Assassin's Creed Odyssey), the system will work fine for 15-30 minutes before black screening (i.e. signal to monitor lost). I...

Thank you for your time and help!

Oh wow! Thank you very much, that didn't show on Google for me! You'd recommend that one then?
