Hi, I'am currently in the process of upgrading my PC that i built in 2019. I was planning on getting a Ryzen 5 5600X and a RTX 2080 super. I checked the compatibility on pc-builds.com/bottleneck-calculator, just to see would everything work ok together. The results where, ''This configuration...

Aww that nearly worked! AMD Freesync was Enabled in Adrenaline software so I disabled it and jumped into a game(Risk of Rain 2) and it was smooth as butter. Then I tried a different game and the stutter was back. Then when I went back to Risk of Rain it was stuttering again. So it did fix it for...

Hey am asking again cause this is a real issue, I don't have anyone else to ask, am very lost here. Has anyone got any clue why this might be suddenly happening? Could it be faulty hardware? If so how would I tell?

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2600, 3400MHz, 6 Core Motherboard: B450 TOMAHAWK GPU: Radeon RX 580 Series RAM: Corsair Vengence 2x8GB DDR4 3000MHz Power Supply: EVGA 650GQ 80+ GOLD Case: NZXT H500 Mid-Tower

I've haven't played anything on my PC in awhile but now since I've jumped on again and tried to play a few games, I've now got a stutter on any game I play? These aren't demanding games at all either (Risk of Rain 2) being one of them. My FPS is sitting between 57 and 60 like it always did and...

Thanks for all the feedback. I was thinking the GPU prices where a bit crazy at the moment as I seen my RX 580 one day for mad prices. Can't remember exactly but I got mine for around 200 and something at the time (2019) so it's a big difference. I never considered just a CPU upgrade instead so...

Hi I was thinking about potentially upgrading my PC some time this year and was looking a bit of advice. I was thinking of getting one of the new consoles but thought I would be better off putting any money towards a new GPU instead. I built my first PC at the start of 2019 and its been perfect...

Hi, i think i might have made a mistake when putting in my cpu heatsink fan. I have a AMD Ryzen 2600 which came with a stock fan, that had pre-applied thermal paste on it. When i lined up the screws and placed it down i had trouble getting the screws to go in. I got 1 in a bit but couldnt get...

Aw thats good to hear, now i can go ahead and attempt to build this thing soon :D And yea good call on the SSD as price was the reason i didnt get a bigger 1 in the first place. Thanks very much for the advice, much appreciated.

Hi, I am about to attempt my first ever PC build. I`m pretty new to all this but i`ve been researching and watching videos this past few months and now have all my parts picked out. I was just hoping to have someone give me the "Ok" on my build before i start buying parts. I just want to check...
