components

My friend recently grabbed a brand new Ryzen 9 5950x to replace his 3600, and he wanted to get cracking at overclocking it ASAP. So we used Ryzen Master, the program that overclocked his original 3600, and it ended being a spectacular failure. Not sure if his specific processor just came short...

I built my PC new in 2013 with intention to game, a budget of £1000 and aim to get the best bang for my buck with no bottlenecks between parts, the only thing slightly lacking was my CPU. At the start of this year my GTX 770 which I had overclocked died and a friend gave me his old Titan X and...

Hi all, Going to be building a new desktop and have researched lots of different components suited to my needs and what would benefit me most with my budget. I am set on using AMD and not looking for an Intel system. Also, my build will be fully white and majorly RGB so these are some factors...

Hi, My PSU went up in smoke. None of the connections look bad. Am I safe to plug a different PSU in, is there a chance the components caused an issue? thanks, Ed

For 2 weeks now I have had this problem that appeared after the PC froze (it has happened to me many times) that forced me to force it to shut down. When monitoring the performance values with MSI Afterburner it gives me normal readings (80-90 in demanding games) but it feels almost half of...

I'm building a new Gaming PC and would like some advice. I wanted to have a high-end performance so I put something together. I'll link that partpicker list down below. I would really appreciate to hear what you think about this build and if something could be improved...

My computer frequently freezes during use. It most often occurs during the loading screen of a game, and especially if I'm doing something else on the other monitor. These games are not ones that require a good computer (just league of legends, tft, and valhiem) If I reboot the computer quickly...

Hey everyone, so I'm new to PC building and I've been researching and trying to learn it. With a budget of 800 to 900/1000 euro I'm trying to build it for some gaming and would like a high-end machine. Since I'm not that deep in the industry, I'm asking for you help for some suggestions or...

[Note: Moderator edit to break up single paragraph of text.] I am getting older and I tend to forget a lot of things. I was very good with tech stuff but some things have happened over the last few years that have degraded these once great abilities and I miss certain and sometimes important...

I am new to building computers and I don’t really know what I’m doing. The whole thing seems quite confusing. However I know a bit about specs as I had a gaming laptop which I’m replacing now with a desktop PC. I’m building it as I heard it is cheaper than buying a prebuilt and more reliable...

My current pc is 3 years old and im looking to upgrade it and add a RTX 4070 and a Ryzen 7 5700x. But im not sure if it is safe to add these new components to such a cheap and old Motherboard and power supply. So if i replace them , all that is left is the DDr4 ram which is going out of date now...

Hi, so I am planning on building a new computer for gaming and 3d work (zbrush, maya, substance painter, unreal engine 5), I am in doubt between a 10400f + 3080 + 64gb ram vs a 13400f + 3080 + 32gb ram, both ddr4, plus the 10400f will have a 2tb m.2 and the 13400f only a 1tb sata ssd, these are...

Hi guys, I built my PC in 2018. I started having this issue last year. Sometimes during idle, my monitor will randomly go black and my PC fans start spinning at an incredible speed. It sounds like a jet engine. The only way to get out of this is to force-shutdown. It will reboot as normal, and...

I think I finally got my rig nailed, but I'm curious if my current RAM (G.Skill Aegis 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16) could be improved OR if any change would result only in an abysmal improvement. Would I be able to tell a difference at all? Cheers on this glorious summer day! Here are my...

Hi! I've had my computer since 2019 and I've run into a ton of problems ever since I first bought it, I use it mostly for gaming (Rainbow six siege, CSGO, GTA and Warzone) but my fps never seem to be stable or perform as expected. In games like Rainbow six siege I get around 220 fps even on the...

What're the maximum overclocks you've managed (regarding any hardware component)? Were they stable? How did it go? Did you use water cooling? What interesting changes did you make in the BIOS? In my case: Celeron 420 1.6 GHz to 3.0 GHz (normal cooling; stable performance and good temperatures)...

I need little help with choosing GPU. My PC build is old and I'm slowly trying to change the components. But now my worst nightmare is my GPU - I work in Blender and my old GPU is not doing great job (I know my CPU will be still old) but for now I need just GPU upgrade (with future possibility...

Hello people. Hope you are having a great time at this holiday season. Now, onto the pressing matter: I have a gigabyte b550 ds3h MB with 2 fan headers and 1 cpu fan header. I went and bought an additional 2 fans (CORSAIR SP120 RGB ELITE) so the system would be always cool so I had to buy a...

Hi, i need help with an issue that started a while back cant even remember when exactly. but basically after i game for a extended time (few hours) i begin to hit huge fps drops like 110 fps down to 10-20 fps every 10 - 15 seconds only starts after playing for a few hours and effects my whole...

Hi, I just bought an i5-12600k and I’m needing to buy a graphics card, I was wondering if it’s best to wait till Black Friday or cyber Monday to buy or if I should just go ahead n go for one on eBay? Not sure what discounts I should be expecting to get on cyber Monday or Black Friday

So I builded my pc two years ago and it works normally. Yesterday I was using my PC as usual. I leave it on a couple hours (normal) and when i came back to shut it down I moved the mouse and nothing, I realized that the keyboard backlit was not on, so this was weird. I then shut it down using...

Hi, I feel like my PC may be underperforming, maybe the motherboard isnt strong enough as it is (PRIME B365M-K), my ram is 16gb DDR4 3200mhz, RTX2060, i7 8700. I was thinking of upgrading my CPU to the i5 12700KF but unsure if my mobo is compatible with that and I am not wanting to spend A LOT...

I have a HP Compaq 4000 Pro (SFF) PC that I wanted to buy a GPU for since it only has an integrated GPU. My cousin recommended me an Nvidia GT series GPU, A GT 610 one but he told me to make sure it fits into the PC, I know they aren't the best but I am trying to make this PC as cheap as...

Good day, everyone! I've been having problems with a PC that I built for a friend. I built it this March and started having issues with it after 2 months of usage. I'll detail all the issues I've had with it so far below. The first instance was in late May wherein the PC won't POST after...

According to userbenchmark.com my Pc is doing really bad for it's components, here is the benchmark page: https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/53913064

Can I have a designer CPU, if I have enough money to pay Intel, AMD, or another chip-maker? Is it possible to buy a machine that can make CPUs? If I have software that is capable of operating only within certain hardware, which is no longer supported and the compatible CPUs and motherboards are...
