Built a pc today but I can’t get it to turn on. There’s a click when I press the power button but nothing happens after that. From my knowledge, all the cables and power connectors are plugged in properly. What’s the deal? This is how I’m plugging the power and reset switch. Pic red is power...

This is going to be my primary home computer. I used to build all my own computers, but for the past ~12 years I've just been buying preconfigured laptops. However, over the past 5-6 years I've gotten really into 3D modeling, 3D rendering, 3d printing, and more. I do play some games too, but...

Hi there, just installed a new RTX 3060 and i don't see much of an improvement in performance from my 1060. Thinking it's maybe the older motherboard/cpu and I did experience some lag and crashing when in the BIOS so could that be the issue? I've clean reinstalled drivers, CPU/Motherboard/RAM...

Hello everyone, so my friend with no experience in PC building asked me to build him a full PC setup for around 2000$. I came up with most of those things from the top of my head. Just done some additional research for current prices. But IMO, my knowledge is… let’s call it decent… So I do not...

Hi all, I'm currently in the middle of planning a personal build, and some advice would be greatly appreciated. Firstly, I'm Norwegian, so while the Norwegian PCPartPicker-lists doesn't contain all of the stores I would consider buying from, it should give an adequate idea of the price of each...

Hey guys, I spent a lifetime building my own PC's and then spent a couple of years on a hiatus from hardcore gaming so haven't had a decent spec for a while. It's time to get a rig going again and I have started doing some research. So the question is whether I should be going BIG, or just big...

Disclaimer: I already have 2 configurations ready, I am not asking for a configuration creation service but rather advice on the existing ones. Just to be clear, I don't like asking someone to do all the work, I have worked on my side (with my humble and modest skills of course). Also, I’m...

Hello! I made a preliminary build using pcpartpicker and I wanted someone experienced to take a look if everything looks fine. I am out of the loop when it comes to DDR5 memory and all the different motherboards, so I don't really know if I made good decisions. Maybe I could swap something etc...

I currently have this on my computer. It works well in that I can play most games. Maybe some multiplayer games have stutter/lag.

Hi, I'm building a new PC from scratch and wanted to ensure my component selection is as good as it can be. I'll mostly be using it for photoshop and gaming. I know a 13900k might be overkill in this sense, but I'm inclined to go for it nonetheless. And while I'm not initially looking to OC, it...

Hello! I hope you guys are doing well. The time has come to build a new PC. I thought what would be a better place than tomshardware to ask for some advice. My budget is around 500 EUR (will be using my old GPU for now) and I have a few questions. I have settled on the new i5-13400f (since...

I've never built a pc before but over the last few months I've been upgrading what I have. Two of which are pretty old. The i3 2 series I put an i7 in but with 2nd gen and somehow upon beating the password it upgraded to win10 by itself and killed what little performance it had. I got that free...
