That's a super plain looking case

jaunty jewel Nov 8, 2018, 2:42 AM

#

O. thats 60 bucks. very cheap.

#

thank you kindly

brittle heron Nov 8, 2018, 2:43 AM

There are a few others if you'd like

jaunty jewel Nov 8, 2018, 2:43 AM

#

i want to build a pc eventually, what i want is a bare minimum vr ready system that would be less than 5000.

#

yeah right,..

brittle heron Nov 8, 2018, 2:44 AM

Less than 5000

#

Jeez

brittle heron Nov 8, 2018, 2:44 AM

#

You could get literally anything with that

jaunty jewel Nov 8, 2018, 2:44 AM

#

thought vr graphic card are high end

#

like 1000 +

brittle heron Nov 8, 2018, 2:44 AM

#

LIES

#

Pretty much any midrange card can play VR

#

In the $200+ range

sinful bobcat Nov 16, 2018, 4:41 PM

#

So... The RX 590 came out... Is that any good?

brittle heron Nov 16, 2018, 4:43 PM

#

It's between a 5-15% performance difference from the RX580 depending on the game, but way more expensive...

#

I dunno if it's worth it

#

Depends on the person really...

sinful bobcat Nov 16, 2018, 4:45 PM

#

Hmm how dose it compaire to the GTX cards?

brittle heron Nov 16, 2018, 4:46 PM

#

+10% average performance vs a 1060, and depending on the cooler it can overclock to be close to a stock 1070. I might consider one (RX590) if I go with an ultrawide, just for the small gains

#

It's just kinda awkwardly priced at $280. I mean, you get 3 'free' games if you buy off of newegg, so that might justify the cost. (Devil May Cry, Division 2, Resident Evil 2)

fallen schooner Nov 16, 2018, 4:49 PM

#

those games are meh tho

brittle heron Nov 16, 2018, 4:49 PM

#

Yup, my thoughts exactly

#

Personally I'd get an RX580 at the moment. You get to pick two of the three games if you get it from newegg and you can find them for $200 flat. Much better deal IMO

plush trellis Dec 1, 2018, 10:12 PM

#

You can also get an rx 580 by purchasing a Gigabyte motherboard from newegg 😂 They sent me one instead of the z390 master motherboard that I ordered

I guess the dude working in shipping didn't know the difference

that's a silly mistake

wouldnt an rx 580 be worth more

No

#

580 is $200

lone pond Dec 1, 2018, 11:35 PM

thats kind of dissapointing

its been like over a week and my order still isnt here

when its been marked delivered

plush trellis Dec 1, 2018, 11:36 PM

Yeah they didn't even want cross ship and send me the motherboard. Pretty crappy of them

Looking to build me an all AMD system here soon (I was unemployed for a while but recently got a job that I start after New Year). Settled on a Ryzen 7 2700X and a Gigabyte - X470 AORUS GAMING 7 WIFI ATX AM4 Motherboard. Been eyeing the SAPPHIRE Radeon RX Vega 64 for a GPU, but it's a reference design card that I'm a bit eh on getting. Any other good cards out there? Doesn't have to be a Vega, a 580 will do. I'd be open to hearing some recommendations from Team Green too. Looking to keep it at or below $600 as well.

#

I've been eyeing Gigabyte's AORUS RTX 2070

thorn marsh Dec 16, 2018, 11:58 PM

#

At the $600 budget, I'd say the 2070 is your best bet

#

I had a blower Vega 56, it was horribly loud.

sturdy heath Dec 16, 2018, 11:59 PM

#

My preference would be an AMD card though, I want to see how they work with full GPUs, but the 2070...is very likely going to be my go-to. RGB FUSION and all

fallen schooner Dec 17, 2018, 12:00 AM

#

you dont like the blower style cooler is what you're saying?

thorn marsh Dec 17, 2018, 12:00 AM

#

Well, the reference ones are loud on the Vegas, the gigabyte version is horrible as well.

sturdy heath Dec 17, 2018, 12:00 AM

#

It's not my first choice for a cooler @fallen schooner

thorn marsh Dec 17, 2018, 12:00 AM

#

Looks like the only thing newegg offers is the strix which is almost 800 right now

fallen schooner Dec 17, 2018, 12:00 AM

#

sapphire nitro + special edition vega 56

#

check it out 😉

#

that'll pair well with the 2700x

#

would be a solid build.

thorn marsh Dec 17, 2018, 12:01 AM

#

On newegg at least, prices for Vega aren't very agreeable and there aren't many options. That Sapphire Nitro + is 723 for V56

sturdy heath Dec 17, 2018, 12:02 AM

#

Yeah, my motivation for that V64 was that it's essentially AT MSRP

thorn marsh Dec 17, 2018, 12:02 AM

#

At those prices, and if you really wanted AMD, the 580 or 590 would be the best bet

#

MSRP for Vega has always been a loose term 😉

sturdy heath Dec 17, 2018, 12:03 AM

#

I would say I'd be open to a 2080 but I think my reason why I'm not should be pretty clear considering the issues that card's had XD

#

I've also looked at the MSI 2070

fallen schooner Dec 17, 2018, 12:03 AM

#

yeah

sturdy heath Dec 17, 2018, 12:03 AM

#

The Gaming Z I believe it is

thorn marsh Dec 17, 2018, 12:04 AM

#

Its a little too pricey, don't think you're going to find one for 600

fallen schooner Dec 17, 2018, 12:04 AM

#

I'd shy away from 20 series

#

so many probs

thorn marsh Dec 17, 2018, 12:04 AM

#

I've had a 2080 and 2080ti so far with no problems

#

As have many of my friends. The problem, while being widespread, isn't a big as the media would ahve you think.

sturdy heath Dec 17, 2018, 12:05 AM

#

@fallen schooner That's the reason why I've been looking at AMD. The Pascal prices are so freaking insane due to lack of stock and extremely high demand at present so I'm not really willing to go that route

thorn marsh Dec 17, 2018, 12:05 AM

#

As for your choice, its probably best to wait until you are ready to buy and decide then. Might get more Vegas in stock

#

You can actually get 1070s for a decent price

sturdy heath Dec 17, 2018, 12:06 AM

#

Truthfully, Navi has had my attention for a while as has Zen 2's recent leaks, I'm just trying to look for options NOW if Navi ends up being another Vega and promising more than it actually delivers (not saying Vega's a bad card, I'd not be eyeing one if it was)

thorn marsh Dec 17, 2018, 12:07 AM

#

Navi is a way out still

fallen schooner Dec 17, 2018, 12:07 AM

I'm seeeing a ton of issues with the 20 series from Aorus

#

@sturdy heath yeah I try to keep brands together. 😄

thorn marsh Dec 17, 2018, 12:08 AM

I'm actually running a two year old $800 Dell gaming laptop right now, hence my interest in building a PC. Probably will sell this thing for a Surface at that point

#

Only need a laptop really for taking notes in class

I'm looking to go back to college

thorn marsh Dec 17, 2018, 12:10 AM

#

I have one of those 2500u laptops, those aren't bad at all. Walmart actually had one on sale the other day for $300

sturdy heath Dec 17, 2018, 12:12 AM

#

Speaking of Walmart, I'm aware I'm getting off topic here, so I'll keep it brief, I AM looking to go into comp sci, so having a dGPU would be nice. Been looking at an OVERPOWERED laptop the one with the 6GB 1060, but...it's a Walmart brand. Here I'm looking for desktop GPU questions obviously but I'll ask for better suggestions on that in a moment in the right channel XD

thorn marsh Dec 17, 2018, 12:13 AM

Hmmm, I wonder who make that. Normally laptops like that are made by Clevo, but I don't recognize that chassis.

sturdy heath Dec 17, 2018, 12:14 AM

#

My assumption is that the SI would be the same people who did their desktops

thorn marsh Dec 17, 2018, 12:15 AM

#

One sec, that may be a clevo one, just newer

sturdy heath Dec 17, 2018, 12:15 AM

#

But the IO and specs for that price...is why I'm finding it hard to say no to that laptop

thorn marsh Dec 17, 2018, 12:16 AM

#

That is a good deal, if it performs well

sturdy heath Dec 17, 2018, 12:17 AM

#

A lot of the reviews on it say it performs better than the Helios 300, which is almost $200 more with equal specs

thorn marsh Dec 17, 2018, 12:18 AM

#

Its one of those ones I'd buy and test it. Walmart has a great return policy. My main concern would be thermals. The build quality is cheap, so if you go in expecting that, you might not be disappointed.

sturdy heath Dec 17, 2018, 12:18 AM

#

Actually it's in thermals I see at least 3 reviews saying it's better than the Helios in

#

Apperently the Helios actually thermal throttles, this doesn't

#

Acer apperently tried to focus more on performance, forcing you to have to undervolt the Helios 300, where Walmart did that at the factory

#

I think it'll be one I'll take the gamble with. I have the $800 model for my Dell, so that's a 4c/4t i5-7300HQ and a 4GB 1050, both of which are beginning to struggle in games

#

The OTHER reason that I plan to build the desktop. Which brings me back to my original question. What would be the best buy from both AMD and NVIDIA for under $600, then? I'm looking at either the V64 I mentioned earlier or the Sapphire Radeon NITRO+ RX 580 8GB , and for NVIDIA, the MSI GeForce RTX 2070 Gaming Z, or the EVGA GeForce RTX 2070 XC BLACK EDITION. Good choices to consider? I know EVGA is a pretty popular choice on NVIDIA's side of the lawn, and XFX and Sapphire on AMD's

thorn marsh Dec 17, 2018, 12:30 AM

#

From a price/perf perspective, the EVGA 2070 black is the best option. Vegas prices are too out of wack right now to consider. As for polaris, I'd go the 590 simply for the 3 game bundle

sturdy heath Dec 17, 2018, 12:30 AM

#

Oh yeah I'm also looking at XFX's RX 590

thorn marsh Dec 17, 2018, 12:30 AM

#

If going with the 590, I'd go with Sapphire, best customer support and much better looking GPU

#

Just preference though

sturdy heath Dec 17, 2018, 12:31 AM

#

I'd go Sapphire but that blue shroud would be...very off in my all-black scheme. Unless they have a gunmetal or black shroud option now?

thorn marsh Dec 17, 2018, 12:31 AM

#

They are releasing a black one

#

Should be for sale soonish

dawn pawn Dec 17, 2018, 12:32 AM

#

I'm going to wait for the 3060 3070 and 3080 series

#

From AMD

sturdy heath Dec 17, 2018, 12:32 AM

#

Then I'll happily consider that as well

thorn marsh Dec 17, 2018, 12:34 AM

#

Got a long wait on those.

dawn pawn Dec 17, 2018, 12:35 AM

#

Didn't they say they'd be releasing those on January or was that the 2nd series Ryzen

thorn marsh Dec 17, 2018, 12:36 AM

#

They haven't given a release date on anything yet. As for releases, so far they have said that Epyc would be launching first, 7nm Vega for instinct, then consumer after that. According to a few tech outlets, Epyc isn't coming until Sep/Oct, so it could be a long wait.

dawn pawn Dec 17, 2018, 12:36 AM

#

I saved up around $500 AUD for when they come out

#

guess ill just have to wait

#

honestly.

#

but that's just me.

thorn marsh Dec 19, 2018, 9:02 PM

#

RTX is only worth it now cause the 1080ti is pretty solidly sold out.

#

The 2070 isn't so bad.

hidden sequoia Dec 19, 2018, 9:29 PM

Hes referring to used 1080tis, which may have been used for mining.

lilac condor Dec 20, 2018, 12:42 AM

I just want to see AMD release a card comparable in price to a 1080 ti and in performance. I don't want to pay for RTX when I'm not even going to use it.

#

Not currently. Sometime in 2019 hopefully

lilac condor Dec 20, 2018, 12:47 AM

#

Hopefully. Is there no hope for Nvidia to release RTX Off 2070s?

thorn marsh Dec 20, 2018, 12:47 AM

#

Highly unlikely

lilac condor Dec 20, 2018, 12:48 AM

#

And no more GTX 1080s will be produced?

thorn marsh Dec 20, 2018, 12:48 AM

#

Nope

#

Best bet if you're looking for that level of performance is to find a Vega 64

#

Or one of the few remaining 1080s/1070tis (if thats your performance target)

lilac condor Dec 20, 2018, 12:49 AM

#

What would the cost difference be?

thorn marsh Dec 20, 2018, 12:50 AM

thorn marsh Dec 20, 2018, 12:51 AM

#

i5 8600k, GTX 1070 ti and 16 GB of RAM.

thorn marsh Dec 20, 2018, 12:52 AM

#

Ah, well thats a solid setup

#

You can also sell that Fortnite bundle on ebay for a good bit of money.

lilac condor Dec 20, 2018, 12:52 AM

#

Yea. That was what I was planning to do to finance an upgrade in the future.

#

I got the Dell S2417DG on sale and I'm wondering what I should consider upgrading to get the most out of it.

thorn marsh Dec 20, 2018, 12:58 AM

#

The 1070ti will do pretty solidly on that monitor. The most I think you'd need for it in the near future is a 2080. 2080ti I think would be vastly overkill at 16:9 1440p. I have one I use for 3440x1440 and in some games its definitely not reaching its full potential.

lilac condor Dec 20, 2018, 12:59 AM

#

Thanks. Should I consider waiting until AMD releases something comparable in 2019?

thorn marsh Dec 20, 2018, 12:59 AM

#

I thnk you'll be fine on a 1070ti to wait for a while

lilac condor Dec 20, 2018, 12:59 AM

#

What should I consider upgrading in the future?

thorn marsh Dec 20, 2018, 1:00 AM

Depends on whats out. I wouldn't consider a 2070 if you're already on a 1070ti

lilac condor Dec 20, 2018, 1:01 AM

mobo is cheaper under amd, monitor is cheaper under freesync

if you go with nvidia

misty swift Dec 20, 2018, 1:24 AM

if your upgrading anyway it makes sense if you figure in all the costs

better is supjective though

lilac condor Dec 20, 2018, 1:24 AM

#

Wait. Mobo cheaper?

#

How much?

fallen schooner Dec 20, 2018, 1:25 AM

#

but if you want to go full amd/gpu you'd need a freesync monitor, which is waaaay cheaper than g-sync

misty swift Dec 20, 2018, 1:25 AM

#

am4's are usually 30 or more cheaper

#

second place works twice as hard..

lilac condor Dec 20, 2018, 1:26 AM

#

So I'll have to get a new monitor, new mobo, new CPU and new GPU to fully reap the benefits?

fallen schooner Dec 20, 2018, 1:26 AM

not necessarily

you could go amd cpu, and still us nvidia gpu

1440p@144Hz in 27" inch monitor: GTX 1070ti is enough? - [Solved] ...

A GTX 1070 TI (AMP! Extreme) with OC is enough to run 1440p@144Hz the current games on the ultra (or at least on the high) settings in a 27" inch monitor?The difference for a GTX 1080 is in my country...

I think a 1070 Ti is enough depending on your CPU. Like Velocity said, it won't give you 144 FPS or more in every game but that is what Gsync is for.

So how do I plug in the Integrated Graphics Port?

fast swallow Jan 2, 2019, 12:05 AM

Move the cable from the graphics card to the motherboard

fallen schooner Jan 2, 2019, 12:05 AM

#

what gpu do you have?

lilac condor Jan 2, 2019, 12:06 AM

#

I have a GTX 1070 ti

fallen schooner Jan 2, 2019, 12:06 AM

#

you have the power ran to it? on the card itself

lilac condor Jan 2, 2019, 12:06 AM

#

@fast swallow Did that

#

Yes. I'll double check

#

Yes I have two 8 pin PCIE cables running to it.

#

Does it matter that they're too seperate cables?

fallen schooner Jan 2, 2019, 12:07 AM

#

how long have you waited when turning it on getting a signal?

#

no

lilac condor Jan 2, 2019, 12:07 AM

#

And that they have stuff splitting off them?

fallen schooner Jan 2, 2019, 12:07 AM

does not matter

well

lilac condor Jan 2, 2019, 12:07 AM

What do you mean by turning it on getting now signal?

fallen schooner Jan 2, 2019, 12:07 AM

mistype

#

like when you turn on the pc

#

how long do you let it sit

#

did the card give you signal before?

lilac condor Jan 2, 2019, 12:08 AM

No for context this is my first build

fallen schooner Jan 2, 2019, 12:08 AM

hrm ok.

I just feel your gpu isn't being powered

lilac condor Jan 2, 2019, 12:10 AM

I don't have HDMI

fallen schooner Jan 2, 2019, 12:10 AM

to see if your integrated graphics comes up

but you said you swapped it with the DP.

No. From source

show me the heads of those wires connected to gpu

lilac condor Jan 2, 2019, 12:14 AM

Like the tops?

fallen schooner Jan 2, 2019, 12:15 AM

#

you can probably do away with one run

and use one wire, that has two ends on it

I tried that before and it didn't work

Which is why I tried two wires

fallen schooner Jan 2, 2019, 12:16 AM

do they say pci or vga on the side

lilac condor Jan 2, 2019, 12:16 AM

PCOe

PCIe

fallen schooner Jan 2, 2019, 12:17 AM

connected to the pci ports on the psu I assume?

lilac condor Jan 2, 2019, 12:17 AM

Yes.

#

They're keyed right?

fallen schooner Jan 2, 2019, 12:18 AM

labeled

#

I mean the only thing I can think of is the card was DOA

#

evga is good about RMAs

or if you have a friend with a pc, take it over and try on their pc.

lilac condor Jan 2, 2019, 12:19 AM

How can I try use intergrated graphics?

fallen schooner Jan 2, 2019, 12:19 AM

lilac condor Jan 2, 2019, 12:20 AM

Yes monitor is on

I can press the buttons and get a resposne

I know the mobo is getting power too

Because I can see it light up

fallen schooner Jan 2, 2019, 12:26 AM

have you just let it run for like 10mins

Oh um

I'm using an EVGA FTW 2 card for reference

#

And the leds on EVGA logo do not light up

#

Does that mean the GPU isn't in?

fallen schooner Jan 2, 2019, 12:30 AM

could be throwing off why the mobo IO wasn't giving you a signal

#

pull the card out completely and try

lilac condor Jan 2, 2019, 12:30 AM

Okay

fast swallow Jan 2, 2019, 12:31 AM

Should i get RX580 is November and get 4gb of ram
Or VEGA 56 in December and no ram
Or VEGA 64 in next January and no ram

river totem Jan 27, 2019, 5:30 PM

#

How would you use a pc without ram

lone pond Jan 27, 2019, 5:41 PM

#

lol

#

i have 8gb

#

but i want 12gb

river totem Jan 27, 2019, 5:42 PM

#

I’d recommend 56

#

Since it works really well with 8gigs of ram

lone pond Jan 27, 2019, 5:48 PM

#

56 instead of rx 590?

misty swift Jan 27, 2019, 8:17 PM

#

Radeon 7 launches on Feb 7

#

if it were me, i would wait till at least launch, see what the benchmarks are, usually as a new card enters, the older cards get more competitive with pricing.

lone pond Jan 27, 2019, 9:13 PM

700 bucks? id buy a 2070 with that

I'm thankful for tax refunds otherwise upgrading some of the older stuff in this machine would be next to impossible

I hear ya, this years tax refund didn't go to gaming for me though but I already have a half decent rig so I figured I'll save for BF and CM this year, though you're Canadian so you guys don't celebrate that right, you guys have boxing day or something like that I think O.o

Nah we do Black Friday here

it's just FAR more muted

although boxing day is a bigger deal yeah

oh you guys do? well that's probably why, here in the US it's a crazy night though I think it has died off more recently, maybe more online sales so not as many people go to the actual physical stores as much as before.

Hey! I just received my Lenovo gaming desktop (item number: N82E16883998644 ) The plan was to use it as a machine for replay in vMix. Based on the pictures I was expecting there to be at least one available PCIe lane. But upon opening the case it looks like the only PCIe lanes on the motherboard are being used by the GPU. The computer came with an optical drive that I don’t need which is connected to the motherboard by a SATA III cable. So, is there some sort of adapter(s) or cable(s) that would allow me to get another PCIe lane and plug it into the motherboard via the SATA III connector that is currently being used by the optical drive?

fast swallow Apr 2, 2019, 12:32 AM

#

Not a good idea

tight tapir Apr 2, 2019, 12:32 AM

#

Oh, I forgot to mention that what I want to connect via PCIe is a Blackmagic Design Decklink Duo card. It takes 4x.

#

Thanks, @fast swallow

#

What are the issues you see?

fast swallow Apr 2, 2019, 12:33 AM

#

It's not the same interface

#

There is a 99% chance you have alot of issues

#

Including the fact that a pci slot provides power of some amount

#

And a SATA does not

#

Is there really no room?

#

Most motherboards have 1 16x, 1 8x, and 2 4x

#

If there is a port you could always get a ribbon cable for the port

tight tapir Apr 2, 2019, 12:35 AM

#

Thanks for that info!

fast swallow Apr 2, 2019, 12:36 AM

#

"extension cable"

#

Pci extension cables are common and help when a graphics card is in the way

tight tapir Apr 2, 2019, 12:36 AM

#

I was surprised too when I didn’t see more lanes. I’ll keep looking. Is it possible there is an open lane hidden behind the gpu?

fast swallow Apr 2, 2019, 12:36 AM

#

Yes

tight tapir Apr 2, 2019, 12:36 AM

#

Gotcha.

fast swallow Apr 2, 2019, 12:37 AM

#

Underneath

tight tapir Apr 2, 2019, 12:37 AM

#

Ok! I will look.

#

Really appreciate the help!

fast swallow Apr 2, 2019, 12:37 AM

#

Np

tight tapir Apr 2, 2019, 1:16 AM

#

There is only one lane! Just for the GPU. Nothing underneath the GPU.

#

Gonna have to send it back.

fast swallow Apr 2, 2019, 1:17 AM

#

I'd use Lenovo customer service

#

Call/message them

tight tapir Apr 2, 2019, 1:17 AM

#

On the phone with them now

fast swallow Apr 2, 2019, 1:17 AM

#

If you bought it from Lenovo directly

#

Ok

tight tapir Apr 2, 2019, 1:17 AM

#

I got it from Newegg

fast swallow Apr 2, 2019, 1:18 AM

#

They might not help then

#

May need to return to Newegg

tight tapir Apr 2, 2019, 1:21 AM

#

Yeah, I mostly wanted to confirm that I wasn’t just blind. They confirmed that motherboard has only one PCIe lane.

I'm looking to update my computer I built back in 2015. I need to replace an AMD FX-8320E and an Nvidia GeForce GTX 750 Ti. Can I replace both of those with a GeForce GTX 1660 Ti and an AMD Ryzen 7 or will I need to worry about replacing the motherboard and memory because I am upgrading those two systems?

#

8GB installed RAM

#

What could I get to ensure best preformance? I don't want to upgrade so much that it would be easier to just buy a new computer

#

like a corsair vengeance?

#

oui

#

can i find that in system information? its been so long since i put it together i think its a DDR3

#

like around 700-800 no more

#

total haha

#

2 i think

#

yes

#

32

#

so a corsair vengeance LPX 16gb (2x8gb) should do the trick just fine?

#

https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233852

#

I was hoping to avoid that

#

thanks for the help

#

of course

#

still appreciate it though

fallen schooner Apr 10, 2019, 11:17 PM

#

if he has a FX-8320E he is using ddr3

#

if he wants ryzen he will have to purchase an AM4 socket motherboard along with ddr4 ram.

tiny olive Apr 11, 2019, 12:45 AM

#

Look up ur Board maker and check compatibility.

scarlet sluice Apr 12, 2019, 10:39 PM

#

So I have my list of things I think I am going to get. Is anybody willing to look through to make sure it will all work together well?

#

MSI x470 motherboard
Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1660 Ti Windforce
Corsair Vengeance LPX (2x8GB)
AMD Ryzen 5 2600
all of these things are within my budget to get. Will these run well together?

molten hinge Apr 13, 2019, 5:11 AM

#

@scarlet sluice all good, however if i may suggest, only if you want to do VR or 4k tho, spending the extra 100$ for the 2060 will be well worth it. i also belive the card will keep better resell value.

your laptop has to have the thunderbolt port

#

if I'm not mistaken.

fast swallow Apr 28, 2019, 10:47 PM

#

Or 2 USB 3.1 ports

#

Depends on the adapter

But USB c is the new stuff

Im not sure if what my problem with my pc is but. i have a gtx 1050 ti and a fx 8350 with ddr3 8gb ram. my computer when im playing some "high stress games" my fps will drop from anywhere from 15-30 for about 15 seconds and also during that time my Mouse dpi changes from 1000 to like 100(Its what it feels like atleast) I have changed motherboards and power supplys and this system was working fine for over a month before it started doing this. i have checked my drivers so now im kinda lost, I got on to overwatch and when i get my problems i see that my latency goes up so is it my wifi thats causing my problems?

sour geode May 4, 2019, 2:37 PM

@alpine plinth have you tried turning it off and on again?

Honestly probably the 8350 with 8GB of ram.

Try plugging in an Ethernet cable and see if it goes away

@unreal tulip i am

gpu 40s i think

Have you run a memory test to see if your ram's gone bad?

sour geode May 4, 2019, 2:41 PM

#

Try cleaning your pc clearly and see if it helps

unreal tulip May 4, 2019, 2:42 PM

#

If the temps are fine I doubt a dirty pc is the culprit

sour geode May 4, 2019, 2:42 PM

True but who knows, it might be the issue
