So basically im heaving this trouble since i bought my Pc (October 2019) and im having those problems since day one. It was a Alienware PC and the power supply (it was in a constant bootloop) was failing so i moved the internals to another case and replaced the PSU, unfortunately the problem...
Hello,
I was wondering what is a good temp for a GPU and cpu to be while gaming. I have a alienware Aurora r7, and the only way i usually check is if i click the arrow on my taskbar and there is a setting that says thermal controller. While gaming, i think my temps may be getting high. When I...
My pc is about 6 months old. I have a 2600, a red devil 5700xt, a liquid cooler and fans on the front as intake, with one on top as intake and one on back as exhaust. I have severe crashes, with my monitors losing signal and i have to restart to see anything again. I decided to test if taking...
I've heard everywhere that Gigabyte mobos are the worst in B450 Chipsets and r7 3700x won't go well with the B450 Aorus Elite, So I wanted to know how much capable is B450 Aorus Elite for R7 3700X with only PBO Enabled and no manual overclocking, To be honest VRMs are the only thing I am...
Hi Guys, I'm planning to build a full ARGB (addressable) desktop. But i don't know what parts to choose to build to make it very good looking, to impress my friends. My budget is SGD1000 ($686USD) without monitor and peripherals.
Hi there,

The keyboard is an Anne Pro 2 and is connected using a USB C cable, I tried replacing the cable, replacing the slot it is connected to, tried using the wireless mode, but nothing worked.
My PC boots in to Windows and all other components seem to work fine.
Did my keyboard fry? Is it totally dead?

This is my first time building a PC so I don't really know what I am doing. I did however manage to make it turn on (GPU fans going, CPU fan going, and other fans in the case working. However when I come to boot the PC nothing shows up on my monitor. The Hard Drive LED on my motherboard is on...
So I recently moved to a new place and reassembled my old PC. Once I reach a few updates, I noticed the GPU wasn't working, it was being recognized in device manager but it gave an error code 0000002B saying it had errors. After that, I tried getting into the bios since I was having to use my...

Both are in my price point. Might be able to wiggle ram up abit but would have to sacrifice speed. Thoughts? Also there's no more wiggle in my budget atm! So...
Hi, Why aren’t the L1 and L2 cache sizes not getting any bigger with new CPUs especially in 2020 and beyond?
Would it not help with the performance if you increased L1 and L2 by a little or to the next size amount?
lastly, why are 8 cores 16 thread CPUs L1 and L2 kind of low of a size for cpus...

Hello, I have a CX 450 PSU plugged to a AB350M GAMING-3 Motherboard. The problem is that I am getting 10V on the 12V+ rail. I recently got a replacement for the motherboard but I think Gigabyte's [censored] support gave me a really misused board. When I put pressure on the 24pin connector the...
Hi,
I'm experiencing seemingly random reboots without a BSOD under graphically intensive games and I don't know where to go from here. I've stress-tested the GPU using furmark with zero problems, stress-tested the CPU with a variety of tools, and run hours of Memtest86 on the RAM with zero...
So I bought a new case and transferred all the components into the new one building it by myself with the help of YouTube and knowledge. The computer started up but for some reason it is so slow and laggy to the point where I can’t do anything. I don’t know if it has to do with this but the gfx...

My budget is as specified 850 USD.
I assembled this list of parts on PCPartPicker and I really would like to use the SG 13 for it but PCPartPicker seems to think they won't fit. I've compared the parts and their dimensions to Silverstone's SG 13 description and can't find any reason why they wouldn't fit. I don't want to start...
