cpu

I had issues with bluescreens and various error codes not too long ago that got fixed by updating my bios. I also used a tool to remove and and reinstall all graphic drivers because of a GPU issue I had right after. Now, after using my PC for a while after fixing these issue, I'm noticing a...

Hi everyone! I am looking to revive a gaming pc that never really worked. I am looking to be able to run Windows 11 and run games like Hell Divers 2 and Hell let loose. These are the specs I currently have below and I believe one of the problems is that I never got an SSD? Or more of a CPU...

I have a question regarding my ryzen 9 5950x cpu. I was wondering whether using a 240mm coolermaster aio cooler or a high end air cooler (probably a nh-d15) plus two more case fans would be more effective. I would normally just buy a 360mm aio cooler but my case unfortunately doesn’t support it...

I have relocated my AM4 setup to my living room SFF PC and now my current ATX case and fans are vacant. I plan to go AM5 platform and is undecided on which motherboard option is best for me. I play mostly esports titles, 1080p, sometimes AAA games but with manageable expectations, and my upgrade...

This is mostly a theoretical question: Lets say I have a CPU that I want to overclock. I mainly use Prime95 to test for stability because, in my experience, if an overclock will fail it will probably do so pretty quickly if not immediately. The problem is that p95 with small ffts pushes the CPU...

I'm trying to upgrade to current gen motherboards so I have some longevity on my build. I might have some flexibility and go up to 750$ really depends on what I can save. I don't really care about what team they come from, just that it can run better than my current spec. I've looked at a bunch...

Having some issues after upgrading my board and cpu, B450 Tomohawk MAX + R7 5800x to B650 Elite AX V2 + R7 9800x3D Updated my bios through qflash+, took ~5 mins, the flashing lights changed speeds and then psu powered off like I was told should happen, so I imagine it has updated fine. Put...

I've tried taking 1 ram stick out. I've tried all 4 slots. I've looked at the cpu socket pins. I've looked at the cpu power pins. I've looked at the MOBO power pins. I've flashed the latest bios. I've reseated everything several times including the CPU, the heatsink, the m2 ssd's. Everything's...

Hey everyone, I recently did a a few tests with my gaming laptop (MSI GL63 8SE) as it had cooling issues. Those are fixed but as I tested I noticed that even with P95 pushing the CPU to max load it never ever went past 1995Mhz, which is a good 205Mhz short of the 2.2GHz its supposed to pull. Of...

Motherboard: GIGABYTE B450M S2H BIOS VERSION: F60e WG Context: PC is a prebuilt. I have downloaded the correct version and it still doesn't go. I'm not sure what to do, that's basically the problem. I've tried the simple troubleshooting, reinstalling windows, trying to see if it's the correct...

I have an older Threadripper CPU and I am unable to upgrade to Windows 11. With the end of security updates to Windows 10 happening next October just wondering if that means I should anticipate having to buy a new CPU? Or continue on Windows 10 without security updates?

I know that for overall gaming the Ryzen 9800X3D is the go-to solution but most reviews do not benchmark RTS games such as StarCraft series, Age of Empires series, etc. If I play those games (not 1v1, usually 4v4 or so), should I still go with a 9800X3D or do I have better options...

I need major help please, I've looked everywhere but can't find anyone with this issue I've recently built a new pc, mostly using parts from my old build I used these parts: - Intel Core i7-4790K - Lian Li Galahad II Trinity SL-INF 61.3 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler (new part) - Asus MAXIMUS VII...

Hey everyone, I purchased a new CPU not too long ago with a Corsair H60x, originally the cooler worked fine (I think) but when I turned off the computer and turned it back on the cooling just magically got worse. My idle temps are incredibly high (usually sitting on 80 idle with nothing running)...

I'm upgrading an old system I found for a family member, and wondering what the best upgrade would be with a budget of £350-£400 tops The components I need are: - CPU - RAM - Mobo - GPU - PSU (Current PSU doesn't seem to have any issues but it's 10 years old so would prefer the upgrade). I'm...

since oct 27 (after a windows update, not sure if relevant) i've had the issue that my PC can only boot up if i reset CMOS and go through setup, otherwise it will just load on the windows widget until it BSODs with aforementioned error. what's the options i've got to fix this, in order of...

I build my first PC and bought a AMD Ryzen 5 7600X and now I think its running too hot. I have a NZXT Kraken Elite IO cooler. The CPU has an 8%-18% usage in normal condition and it gets up to 55°. I didnt aply any thermal paste because it was included in the Kraken Elite. Was that a mistake...

Hey everyone, my PC froze all of a sudden today. When trying to turn it back on, the CPU LED flashed for about half a second, then switched to the DRAM LED for about three seconds before the LED turns off. The PC then runs for about 10-20 seconds before shutting down and doing the same thing...

I have an EK-Nucleus AIO Lux D-RGB CPUZ cooler which I would like to customize per my liking. Basically I removed all the RGB and I like the naked pump look: The problem is that the engine is part of this circuit board I would like to remove the white board and connect the wires directly to...

Hi! I'm currently building pc for gaming (but I don't play all the new AAA releases) and DaVinci Resolve 19 free version, sometimes Blender and Capcut too (with RTX 4070 Super). I did a research and in my budget and resonable cpu temps, I'm thinking between i5-14600k, 7 9700x and 9 7900. The 7...

Hello. I'd first like to say I'm pretty much at beginner level when it comes to PC stuff, so you'll have to excuse me. I've had issues with my PC for a long time, but nothing bad enough to make it unusable. I recently startet getting BSOD and tried using event viewer to find out the issue. I...

The cpu cost's only 23$ should i buy it or this is a scam! 🙂

A month ago I've purchased a brand-new Acer Nitro ANV15-41 with Ryzen 7 7735HS. I was very happy with the purchase and it was a smooth ride, until I had to turn it into the service shop for a screen matrix replacement. After said matrix was replaced and I booted my laptop at home and used it for...

i'm living in SEA and right now doing research on building low budget pc, i chose i7 4790 as my cpu. while doing my research i haven't come across i7 4790's peak power consumption as reviews i read only shows system's total power consumption and not i7 4790's power consumption itself.

Hi all so i recently overclocked my cpu i7 6700k from 4.2ghz to 4.6ghz , i noticed a jump on the temp on a stock used to be 69 to 75while gaming , now with overclocked , it reaches 76 to 88 , my question is i know that last time i out thermal paste really long time ago probably a year ago ...

Hello, I've hit a wall while looking for a fix for high CPU temperature, so I've come here to ask for help Issues with Acer Aspire A715-43G with a 4GB RTX 3050 and Ryzen 5 5625U. When I bought this piece, everything was running very well, no high temperatures and no stuttering ever. After a...

The cooler has dust. I removed the case fan prior, it's not making noise, i also opened the case to make out if its the PSU, and its the CPU cooler fan. It has been making this noise more than a year. Do I need to take the whole thing apart and reapply thermal paste (also vaguely remember...

Hi everyone, Im building a new computer finally. My initial future build had an intel cpu and it was not until recently that i decided to go with the Ryzen 7800x3d. My hope is price will drop a bit with the 9800x3d out. Sadly it doesn't look like the 9800x3d is much better in performance so...

One of the fans (cant tell which one) inside of my PC spins fast and loud for 10-20 seconds every 3- 5 minutes, this happens even in an idle state. I monitored the task manager and everything looks fine, nothing suspicious. When I play a game for a while it goes away ( I can tell the normal...

I used Fusion to design this NAS, with a size of 390x450x89mm. It can fit a MATX motherboard, and it uses a CRPS PSU (12VO). There's a reinforcement rib in the middle, and on the other side, I have the freedom to design the PCB to achieve the expandability I want. For example, I could add 12...
