Hey everyone, So I've been using Vegas Pro for over 10 years. I just recently upgraded from Vegas Pro 14 since I got a new GPU. I was having compatibility issues with my B580 and Vegas Pro 14. I wanted a version that would support Intel QSV so my renders would be faster. Please note that I...

Hello everyone, So I've been trying to get my PC ready for Windows 11 and also set things up so I can enable Resizable Bar for my new GPU. Here's whats happening: First thing, I realized my drive (which is a cloned drive from years ago) was set to MBR. After some research, I figured out that...

Thanks, this is great advice! Yeah, I've looked at the Noctua cooler. That was one that I considered. However, I really like the looks of the Dark Rock Pro 4 and it kinda fits with the whole look of my build so I'll probably go with that one eventually. Thanks again!

Hello all! I recently upgraded to a Ryzen 9 3900x from a Ryzen 7 2700x. On my 2700x, I just used the included Wraith Prism cooler and managed to cool my CPU pretty well. So when I decided to upgrade, I figured I'd need to go with a beefier CPU cooler. However, I decided to install the 3900x...

Yeah I had the same concern, but he checked his current power supply and it's only a 500 watt. He's been running it for 8 years like that, so I'm assuming the 500 watts was enough, unless for some reason only one of the video cards was being powered. He says they were both plugged in, but I...

Hey guys, I'm not sure what to do here. My dad is having me build him a new computer soon. He told me he bought his current one 8 years ago refurbished. He doesn't really do a whole lot with his computer except some video editing using the Nero software. So nothing too heavy. The new...

Yes, I used HWMonitor to monitor that sensor. Most of the time it was in the 30s to low 40s with the occasional spike a little higher. After doing some research and reading what others are getting for their temps with the 3700x, I'm pretty satisfied. Sorry I never mentioned it before, I'm using...

Ok I'm back with an update... So, I went ahead and installed another case fan in the back of the case to exhaust some of the heat out the back. I also played with the fan curves a bit to work on the ramping up of the fan. I'm happy to say that everything seems to be working fine now. For...

I don't mind the clocks ramping up really, it's really the CPU fan ramping up and down with it. It's kind of annoying and that doesn't happen on my system, but I'm running a 2700x. My understanding is that the 3000 series run hotter, so my theory is that when the CPU clocks ramped up, so did the...

Yeah I've got a hunch that it's a cooling issue, so I'm going to try a few things. The friend who I'm building it for, he picked the 3700x specifically for the Wraith Prism cooler, so I don't want to remove that just yet. That processor is overkill really, I had suggested something smaller, like...

Yes. I've been going over this in my head, and I remember when I put the cooler on, the pre-applied thermal paste on the cooler didn't look right. Usually it's a solid square, this was not. It looked like a bunch of random dots and it was very thin. I also realized that I noticed the fan ramping...

Hey guys So I just finished a build for a friend of mine. It's a Ryzen 3700x paired with a Gigabyte Aorus Elite B450 motherboard. It seemed to be running fine at first, but as I was doing some more setup and installing software, I noticed that the fans would ramp up and down every 5 seconds...

Hey guys, So I'm building a PC for a friend of mine and he's mainly going to use the computer for work. He's not a gamer, so it'll probably never be gamed on. He needs a dual monitor setup, but I don't really want to invest in a "gaming" card. I mainly just need a solution that will output...

Ok after doing some research, I found that what I had originally tried essentially reset my BIOS. I removed the battery briefly and popped it back in. That reset my BIOS settings and I was able to get my system to post again. The problem I'm still having though, is that the only way I can get my...
