Build Help

Hey all, So I am building a workstation for my web development work. I do my development mainly in java/javascript. So most intensive task most days is compiling the java. I also do some work with docker and SQL Server. I would like to have the option to spin up a few VMs in the future, but...

Hello! About 5 years ago, give or take, I built a PC for myself and my brother. While mine is still mostly good condition, he's managed to somehow break the tongs that hold the cpu fan in place and when he tries to turn it on, the display just remains black (tried with multiple displays and...

Hey guys, Hope you are doing well. I will be building this PC in October or November of this year and I need a bit of guidance. I have done plenty of research and I am unable to determine which CPU+GPU combo would be ideal for my target resolution and build. I hope you experienced PC builders...

Hello, I'm building my first PC and don't know what I'm doing. I've basically been comparing and contrasting with other builds people have made in the past. The only reason why I'm not using those builds is because some of them are a couple years old and I don't want to get things that are "out...

Hi people, I've been looking into building my first computer and have developed the mindset that if I spend more money I'll end up saving it in the long run. Having said that, this will be my first build and I have to be honest in saying that I'm quite worried about the whole thing in terms of...

I want to get a 2TB hard drive for storage for my upcoming build. At first, I was more than willing to go for Seagate's Barracuda over Western Digital's Blue.

The retailer I want to buy from only has a limited selection of PSU's in that range and this is the best one among them. The problem is that a bit too expensive. It's currently $115 on Amazon. I don't know if that's its regular price or if it's an outdated price since it's old stock. It's not...

Well, £27 including postage. I've always wanted a small-form PC so I bought this one on eBay just to mess around with and then I'll sell it on or give it away. It's just a toy. But what can I really do with it apart from use it as a door-stop? I suppose that's why it was £20. It does come with...

Hey! I have a question. Yesterday I changed up my fan settings to make it spin at it's lowest level when the temperature goes up to +40C. And most of the time, when I'm browsing and programming the temperature is at +40C and that makes the fan run almost constantly. Is that bad for the fan? Thanks!
