Simply put, would the X570 Phantom Gaming-ITX/TB3 support and be compatible the parts I currently have? I do know it would need to have a bios vP1.20 but I just want to get a second opinion and check to make sure. I would be getting the board used, but it should be fully working CPU: Ryzen 3...

I'm replacing my laptop's SSD, and I'm considering two options: 500GB WD Green SN350 and 500GB WD_BLACK SN750. My laptop is a VivoBook 15 (X513EP), and it came with a Western Digital's 256GB PC SN530. Looking over the specs for these three SSDs, I see that the SN750 seems to draw more power and...

Hello, I am considering to buy one of two modules Kingston HyperX Fury HX436C18FB3/32 or Kingston Fury Renegade Black KF432C16RB/32 . Both should not have big performance differences, I guess, but Renegade is newer RAM. So there is compatibility question. My motherboard is Gigabyte B550M DS3H...

Good day, I'm currently creating a build, and I need a power supply with the extra 4 pin ATX connector not just the standard 8 pin. Now some of you might be thinking, "You don't need that, that is just for extreme overclocking, and it will be unnecessary for the everyday user". Well, yeah...

Hello. I just bought a used HP Z640, and was in the initial stages of setting the device up at my home. I started by clearing the CMOS, and reverting any changes by the previous owner of the device in the firmware so I could set things up how I wanted them. I noticed that legacy support was...

I've decided on the CPU and motherboard but am fatigued after researching what RAM to choose. For a new build, I'm going with the AMD Ryzen 7 5700G CPU and the MSI MAG B550 Tomahawk. I'll be using the CPU's built-in graphics instead of buying a discrete graphics card. I do not intend to...

I'm planning a new build using the Ryzen 5700G, 16GB RAM (tbd) and the MSI MAG B550 Tomahawk. I plan to re-use my existing HDs and CD/DVD drive - a total of 3 SATA devices. I'm not so sure about the case (an older Antec with 3 5.25 external bays, multiple internal 3.5 bays and 2 x USB 2.0...

I want to play Valorant with my friends, but when turning graphics down and doing some other tricks to make it smoother, I'm still dropping below 60fps (which in my opinion is unbearable in a first person shooter game) therefore I am looking to get a CPU upgrade as I think that will benefit me...

I’m considering buying myself a backwards compatible version of Playstation 3, as some of it’s models are apparently backwards compatible with PS2. I would be cool to have a single device for both gaming eras. For one, however, not all PS3’s are PS2 compatible. For two, even these which are...

Hi all, I have never overclocked using my BIOS. However, I am going to buy a full set of used DDR3 RAM for my MSI Z68MA G45 (G3) motherboard to upgrade it, as mixing in new sticks of the same model produced errors in HCI Memtest. However, the kit I am intending to buy is 1600. The manual for...

I recently landed an MSI Suprim X 3090 and am hoping to vertically mount it because (in my opinion), it's one of the nicest looking cards. However, my CPU cooler is the Noctua NH-D15 which is notoriously massive, if an excellent performer. I haven't bought a PC case yet, but I'm trying to...
