Wanted to update! Everything went super smooth and was successful! Both sticks of RAM are working amazingly. BIOS flashing was... nerve-wracking but worked - updated to most recent for the BIOS. Installing the new CPU was easy peasy, although because I put my first CPU chip in wrong and bent the...

I'm trying to screen record the game - not even stream - and the game runs really well when OBS isn't opened. I've played about 5-10 minutes to jst adjust settings and ensure I had a good frame rate. But as soon as OBS or Streamlabs opens up to record (can't even get to record), I Alt+Tab over...

I do not have one of those, nor have access to one.

Fair - I should clarify though: can I update the BIOS say today even though I'm not putting the CPU in for a few weeks (in theory), or should it be right before installing the new CPU. RAM instability is a suspected problem I'm also having which is why I'm getting new RAM. So with you saying...

Okay, cool. I'm just trying to learn how to do all this. I kinda screwed up the actual build because I didn't do all the research needed. And knowing that a BIOS update can be risky, I definitely do not want to cut corners. With that being said, could I update prior to installing the new CPU...

Hi, I'm looking to upgrade my CPU from an AMD Ryzen 5 1440 to an AMD Ryzen 5 3600. I'm also installing new RAM from 16 to 32GB. I've been told I'll probably have to update my BIOS. The error I'm specifically getting from PCPartPicker says " Warning! Some AMD X370 chipset motherboards may need a...

OKAY, so I forgot to actually plug them into my mobo after fiddling with them the last time, so I did that and my old HD is showing up, however, the new one is still not being detected in computer management or device manager..

Motherboard: ASUS ROG Strix X370-F Gaming CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 1400 PSU: EVGA Supernova 750 G3 RAM: T-Force Vulcan 16 GB DDR4 2400 GPU: MSI Radeon RX 570 New HD is Seagate Skyhawk I have tried updating BIOS; it is up to date as far as my PC will allow. I've also unplugged the new HD to see if my...

So I have a SSD, a 1TB HD, and a 4TB HD. I went to go install the new 4TB HD today, which I figured as it has been in the past, simply plug and go. Well, I installed and plugged it in, both to the mobo (SATA 1 and 2) and PSU (SATA 1 and 2 or 1 and 3..) to boot up and find that NEITHER HD are...

I bent the CPU pins. That was my issue.

Pretty sure that I did. I have a connection that reads "power sw" from the case that is connected to the motherboard. Also didn't mean to vote down MickeyDee's answer : p

Hey, I put together my first build, and I'm pretty sure everything is connected and on. When I turn on the power supply, the lights on my motherboard turn on and I have a little light that indicated power-standby. But once I press the power button, nothing happens. No fans spin, nothing. I don't...

Hey, so my PC is approximately five years old. Its an HP something... 64 bit OS running Windows 10. I updated my graphics card about 3 years ago, and it's running just fine for now. However, I am looking into updating my processor. Upon preliminary research, I realized I may have to upgrade my...

the 460 suggests a minimum of 350w, the 750ti suggests 300w, so the 750ti is the better choice. still a solid card in new AAA games i would say it can still run everything, although you may not get perfect 1080p 60fps. I would still suggest a new PSU regardless especially if it isnt a very...

Will either the RX 460 or GeForce GTX 750ti run with my PSU? That is my main concern..
