prebuilt

My power adapter (24 pin to 6 pin) does not want to work properly with my prebuilt HP computer (Compaq 6300 I believe). With that extra 6 pin cable that comes from the adapter the PSU starts straight away without me even pressing the start button on the computer. Then if I press the start...

I'm sorry if this is the wrong place to post this, but I don't know where else to. I am planning on building a new PC when more 3000 series cards become available, so I'm looking to sell my current PC soon. I don't expect to get much at all I would just like to know anyone's best estimates. I've...

This is my first time posting here but last year I bought a prebuilt HP Omen and was going to upgrade the case to a Lian Li o11 Dynamic XL. I bought a cheap set of upHere fans hoping to be able to adjust the rgb, but it turns out my mobo doesn't have an rgb header. I don't know if it would be...

Long story short, I undervolted my RX 580, and it didn't go well. I followed a guide on YouTube and the creator, as well as everybody in the comments, seemed to have success from this guide. So I know it probably wasn't that. After undervolting, I launched Fortnite which is a game that I have...

Hi, I have always had a bad stuttering problem in games. But the stuttering in Fortnite by far tops it all. I usually get around 100-80% gpu usage and every second it will drop down to 0. It's never at 100% for more than a second or two. My CPU usage is normally at around 50-70%. I'm really...

Hi everyone, I have a small little question about a build I'm working on.

I'm using the motherboard from an HP Pro Desk 400 G2.5 SFF, which is an LGA1150 socket. The...

I don't know if this is a thread already.

So I was looking into buying a new PC since my current one is relatively outdated, and I came across what I thought was a good deal. The specs seemed good to me and I checked pcpartpicker to see if it was a good price for what was in it, and it still seemed like a good deal. It was on sale for...

Hello everyone, it's been a while since I last posted here. I used to follow PC hardware a lot when I was active on Tom's Hardware but lately have been busy so I'm somewhat out of the loop. One area that I'm lacking is knowing which parts is suitable for what usage. I have a general idea but I...

Hello, I just want to say that I am not the most skilled with computers, so the things I say might sound a little dumb. I don't know if this is normal, but my VRAM usage while idle is at around 56%, or 2,297 MB shown in Radeon settings. While in game however, it goes up to 102%. I don't know...

I recently purchased a Dell Vostro 260 from ebay with the intent of turning it into a cheap HTPC. However, even with all of the high performance settings enabled in windows, the CPU's power draw will never pass 45W. The TDP of the chip is 95W so is it power throttling? The temps have never...

Why is it that every time I have tried to download the AMD drivers and my computer restarts for it, it won't turn back on? So I am a occasional gamer and I use a rd 580. Anyway, I was noticing low candidates on bf2 which wasn't normal for me so I went to download the AMD Adrenalin software. It...

How do you add an HDD on a prebuilt system that uses an SDD? (Assuming that there are no drive brackets or drive cages.) What do I need? Where do I find drive cages, drive brackets, and SATA cables? Also, if you are wondering, I am referring to a Seagate BarraCuda 2 TB HDD. I can't find good...

Hello, my RX 580 is overheating. I get 85+ celsius with full fan speed; and it will even cross 90 sometimes. I believe this causes lag spikes and low fps in games. I have used canned air many times to clean out dust from the GPU, and am a bit nervous about taking the whole thing apart and...

I am slightly intimidated by overlocking my Core 2 Quad 94000 as this will be my first time and I do not have a great motherboard to do it with. Also, should I not bother doing this and sell my current pc to just get a lga 1151 cpu prebuit and stick my gtx 750 ti in?
