thanks
yw
what is single rail and multi rail on psus? and multi/single-rail switchable? should i spend extra to get one of these?
Power supplies that have only one OCP circuit are called “single-rail” while the power supplies that have more than one OCP circuits are referred to “multiple-rail”. ... However, this relatively low limit would prevent power supply manufacturers from building higher wattage units for computer system with high +12V output.
got this from google
Reseated my cpu still white cpu light
Would it be fine if I remove my cpu cooler and try and boot it like that?
Anyone wanna help me and tell me if my pc part picker is good or if I should change something
sure
Didn’t post :((
😦
well dont loose hope
lose*
my pc doesent boot either
it turns on and off
Oh dang tons of people having boot issues
yeah
Very popular issue
mine did it more no reason
Well
for no reason *
You sure?
yeah
it ok i will figure it out
Did a DDU and all that
its*
Aight ping me if ya need me tmr
Plugged in my 1660 super until I can get a 3080
sent it btw @cerulean trellis
But I don’t get any video output
oof
is the Asus ROG STRIX B550-F GAMING ATX AM4 Motherboard over kill for the 5600x?
Are the bottom right 2 bent?
can you circle them ?
they look bent
Just built my pc (I don’t have a gpu) and it boots up but I’m not getting a picture, I’m using a tv until I can get a monitor
Pls help
what cpu
No gpu = no picture unless processor had on board
if it doesnt have integrated then no pic
Ay can someone make me a build with a budget of 1100, I can go a little over though, using parts that i wont have to wait foreveer to get because of stock
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/r4DTDc
What do you guys think about this list? I know its a bit wierd. Its not mine but the person who wanted it had some parameters. They wanted an all-black build and I tried to match that as much as I could but for whatever reason that 3080 is >$500 cheaper than the next one so im sure they are going to be willing to make that aesthetic sacrifice. They also like the aesthetic of water coolers and are willing to spend more to get one, and they plan on some overclocking. They wanted 2 monitors so i figured 1 good one for gaming and 1 ehh one for discord/yt/google or whatever. They also need lots of hdd space. The ram can possibly be dropped but they are hoping for this build to last around 10 years if possible with minimal upgrades. Thanks for the help.
For reference, their last build lasted ~10 years, again, with minimal upgrades. i think they upgraded the gpu to a 1070 a few years ago but thats about it. maybe more ram, im not sure exactly
that build looks good for a good amount of time, i personally would change it by making it all amd but thats because im an amd simp
Ay can someone make me a build with a budget of 1100, I can go a little over though, using parts that i wont have to wait foreveer to get because of stock? I got one already but it has a 3060ti in it and those are hrd to get rn
i looked at the benchmarks and the 3080 seems to outperform the 6800xt and the 10700k outperforms the 5600x
i guess you are right. he likes to play single player games like far cry, rdr2, and stuff like that. do you think the 3080 can push 4k 144fps on those kinds of games or should i drop it to a 1440p 144hz?
might as well get a 3070 if you're gonna be playing on 1440p
3070 is literally a 2080ti but 500 bucks

3080 lasts longer
i mean he wants the build to last a long time
more performance for mans 10 year pc
i see
and 3070 is like 1k right now
3070 dumb for that g
why won't he just upgrade over time?
or is it set that it's going to be a one time investment for the pc
pretty much. kinda complicated but he has the money now and wants to just use all he can
seems legot
legit
bump the monitor to something more reasonable and its pretty good
ya ill switch it to 1440/144
the monitor is fine
ill see what the budget allows but i also realized that 3080 is OOS and the next cheapest is 1500 so not sure ill have much to spare
especially with ram prices and gpu prices rn
do we know when gpu prices are going to drop?
if its not too long he can probably just use the gpu he has now for a bit and wait for stock to come back in
ya
i have a hard drive but its not on my windows
like its installed and eebrything
But its not a drive for some rasn
How good sir
calle
d
bruh
right click windows button
click disk management
if you see a funky dunky storage device thats it
if not tis not pluggen in correctly
disk 0
its* plugged*
989 gb
is it blank
"unloalcoalted"
Reason: Bad word usage
My grammar bruh
right click it
whatr do i do then
press format
i keep saying bad words sorry
i cant format
i did it
no
fr?
and it worked lmfao wht


ez dubz
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/hghZHz
any further suggestions? He wants to keep it under 4k including monitors, mouse, keyboard, and a desk. so you have about $75 to play with
i mean unless you want to buy that like right now and not have to fight for a gpu it wont be that much
Ditch seagate and get WD blue/black/red or Toshiba
PS, that case is bangin. I have it. It's really nice
So I just finished with my first pc build and for some reason whenever I plug in my keyboard it doesn’t light up and when I hit f2 I can’t get into bios
Front panel USB or motherboard?
Well, I'd plug the KB into the motherboard to test
Front panel might not be working or connected
That will tell you
Ok usb 3 or regular?
Doesn't matter
Well
What DEBUG lights are on the motherboard?
It's normal to boot loop a few times while it reads memory
Oh, then do what vintage says
But check by the RAM slots to see if an LED stays on
The red light?
The red light at the bottom
what board
Asrock b460 pro4
Are u sure that shutting off and on every 20 seconds like 10 times is normal?
Yeah, which light is on?
Those are your DEBUG ERROR Led's
There's Boot, VGA, DRAM and CPU
The red light at the bottom?
Yes
well, that means you have to buy a new PC
-_-
lol
Reason: Bad word usage
That means there's an issue with your RAM
What slots do you have it in?
I thought my manual said 2 and 4..
I did I put my ram in 2 and 4
Well my aio is touching my ram
wat
Vegance ddr4 2666 I think
Hold on let me take the side panel off
in the picture it looks like you have it set in the 1 and 3 slots
We will find out with a pic
also that ram is SLOW
I have i7 10700f
It might be flexing the ram causing it to not be read
Well
B460 though
= slow ram
So what should I do?
if it were me
Move the aio to front?
is it the fans or the AIO itself that is touching the ram?
And if you can front mount do so
so why did you get an AIO for your first build?
Aesthetics
It’s touching the side of the fan
Yeah
so no practical use?
Alr
then we test more
Are we troubleshooting here?
hi sara
Ye, DRAM light with AIO touching ram
So we moving AIO to front
to see if light goes off
Uh oh
If no, CMOS reset
Almost broke my front panel lmao
I’m guessing RAM heated up AIO pump?
No
dont do that lol
ram gets nowhere near that hot
It can
contrary to what thermaltake might want you to believe
i water cool my ram😎
It’s happened to me before
ram literally cannot get that hot
unless you run stupid voltage thru it
I do that SUnday
thats like maxing the dram voltage slider
Ram is ~5 a stick max
They were old sticks on an old board, I wasn’t afraid of killing anything
Well, I shouldn’t say ‘old’
But they were getting replaced
Hii
Please recomend me a PC for home use. Such as office internet a bit lightroom :)
AMD based
Thanks
a laptop
No gaming? And why AMD?
Budget?
Are you comfortable with building it?
How many monitors?
And that’s all my questions
building a PC is not the best idea right now
Ya .. no gaming for now
Ok
GPUs are stupid expensive
How many monitors?
One big
32
Ill be happy for a recomandation as well :))
What resolution?
Nevermind that actually, as long as it isn’t 8k you will be fine with a 3100
Last but not least: budget?
get him a 3090 for productivity
@muted nymph ?
ofc he does, everyone needs a 3090
yes maam
Don't troll people others are trying to help.
i would hardly say that everyone needs a 3090 is a troll, but more of truth, if everyone had one the world would be a better place
@muted patio I’m gonna do this tmmr because it’s pretty late where I am
I will fix it around 9 est
About to build #6 Wednesday and upgrade #5
Also I don’t even know how to take off this front panel
Mmm dont know.. im a begginer
I want it to be with me for 3 4 years
KK, don't do it while you're tired lol
What are you comfortable with spending, and are you comfortable with building it yourself?
@muted nymph buy a laptop, cheap option for just doing productivity work
True
@marble hedge also, can i hae one🙏
Expesive.. i think that with a pc ill get more with lower bugget...
Like what?
portability being the #1
What usecase?
?
Hi all
Portability, an all-in-one type of thing, and (usually) no hardware issues you have to deal with.
My laptops motherboard melted it was my fault though
i have a ryzen 7 2700x do any of u know of a good motherboard that take it and has a PCIe 4.0?
If it don't work, it doesn't work lmao
👁 👄 👁
afaik there aren't any
U r right.. but still with buying win10 and office it will be much muck more expensive
the 2700x doesnt even have gen 4 pcie
Literally any B550 or X570 motherboard
Not at all. You can get a key for literally pennies on EBay, or not even pay for one at all if you are fine with a watermark
will i have to flsh the bio
That too
No
not actaully though a rubber or something melted and dropped on the motherboard ruining i just melted for effect lol
Hate to break it to you, but a 2700x isn’t exactly ‘new’ anymore
lol i know
U r probably right but i am not familier with were to look and where to buy from ..
@muted nymph thats why you have litterally everyone here
I can show you any place, just set up a DM with me real quick.
https://www.newegg.com/msi-mpg-b550-gaming-carbon-wifi/p/N82E16813144322 How about this one?
No
I mean I can recommend tower builds. 500, 800, 1200, 2000 and 7,500
MSI is bad
and B450
that too
I wanna build my own computer but know very little i picked parts using a website i think most of them are compatible I'm just not sure about the GPU working with the motherboard
but im talking newest boards
Like someone said here earlier though the 2700x can't even use pcie 4.0
yeah, me, so its pointless buying a b550 or x570 with that cpu
yeah i agree
get a b450 board, will do nicely with that cpu
i did find a 3080 with PCIe 3.0
interesting
also, pcie gen 4 stuff will work on gen 3, it just scales down to gen 3 pretty sure
Unpossible, they're all Gen 4.
but it's all backwards compatible
anyone got a 700 dollar pc list pre made?
and even if there was a 3080 with 3.0, why would you pair it with a 2700x?
What website?
Nope lol
This was their link
@little osprey is doing that lol
Doesn't matter, it'll work with PCI-E 3
smh
Well i feel like that's a stupid question Newegg's
i had a 2700x and a traded it for a 3600
I mean... PcPartPicker is better but ok
Not really a stupid question
Because there are sites much better than Newegg for putting a list together
I didn't mean to be rude i will look at that website
searches all major websites for parts
Documents them, checks for compatibility, gives really good filter options, and shows the lowest price across all sites and automatically shows coupons
yup
its the best
and, it makes a specail link to a list so you can easily copy, paste, and send it to others
Yeah no need to be tactless btw
And Newegg (and most major retailers) do that as well
oh, okay, i only use PCPP so i didnt know
no reason to use the other sites
unless im shopping for loops
Anyways, are you going to send the list or are you going to remake it in PCPP first?
remake it
Ok cool
TBH i no almost nothing so im going stare at these guides and tutorials for a good while lol
Heh
Does the 2700x bottle neck the 3080
About 15 FPS, according to him
That's not worth complaining about
So I'm building a used pc for the first time wdyt Sara
They specs are as follows
Tell me
16gb of 2133 DDR4
I5-7400 w/Levono mobo
Gtx 970
128gb SSD
600W 80+ Corsair psu(new)
Cost was 295 with used case
I bargain hunted my rear off
Not enough storage IMO
I got the 600w 80+ for 43$ new
But you can’t find 500gb HDDs anymore
Corsair vs600
600w 80+ for what I'm building its overkill but will allow for additions.
Absolutely true
Any idea the quality of the Mobo?
Actually @marble hedge
Perfect timing
Would you be willing to sell that to @muted nymph ?
Sorry giving it to a guy on disability that can barely afford anything to help him have a distraction
Can someone please help me figure this build out? My Motherboard has a pcie3x16 slot for the GPU, a pcie2x16 slot for expansion and a m.2 slot. If I put an Elgato (pcie2x4) into the pcie2x16, will a x4 m.2 ssd still work? I'm under the impression m.2's (can) take away from PCIe, it's a smaller cheaper board (B450M BAZOOKA MAX WI-FI, AMD 3600).
I wanted to build him brand new but I settled for making him a super cheap build
Should I be worried about the GPU sag and whether it can cause fatigue failure over time, and should I get my hands on a sag bracket or support?
it's not a big issue but if it'll give you peace of mind why not
you can just put legos under there or something lol
If he needs someone to build as cheaply as possible I can see what I can do otherwise though
i used a box of mechanical pencil graphite as gpu support in my old build lol
@wind osprey
you can get creative
as long as it's the right height it'll work
What’s that, a 1070?
What kind of pc is he looking for @Sarah
Windows 10 pro?
Office
Yeah, the height is the weird thing
What kind of application
Because like my GPU is 2.9 slots tall and the PCIe slots are pretty low in my case
yeah microatx be like that
Pics?
Pictures?
not yet
@rustic flower where that mouse space
it's missing the memory still
i yoinked a stick out of my own pc to boot test it
That makes two of us with MicroATX 3070 builds
it's all pink
it's a 2 slot 3070 though
FE or AIB?
FE
Explains it
Yeah I'm gonna head to bed soon myself
Thanks for the pointers again @earnest olive and good night
Good to know that GPU sag won't really lead to long term fatigue failure lol
one thing i found amusing about the build
i put the cooler on without any thermal paste for a boot test
and it was running at 18C with no thermal paste
in bios but still
...lol
8 cores
For light workloads I'd say a laptop might be best
My thoughts idk
Can find laptops for 400 for work purposes pretty easily now adays
If he prefers a screen just hdmi one in
@muted nymph I can help you design something just lmk
Or find something
Huh, finally sat down and tallied the 5 builds I have done so far
Eve was 5100, Baby Beast was 1600, Rnbw Grl was 1925, M³ was 925, and Oscar will be 295. Everyone around me will have had a computer built or modified by me that I deal with on a daily basis too. I guess now it's time to become an audiophile.
Thanks
Laptop for office and internet and a bit lighroom
Lighroom?
Lightroom
What do you mean
Hello I’m planing on making a build and I’m interested in blender, do you think it’s worth it spending the extra money on 32 gigs of RAM
Pcpartpicker @blazing pilot
send a link to the web
Just google pcpartpicker and it should be the first link
You can make lists of parts and look at parts
But actual comparison probably would be on something like 3dmark or like passmark
Thanks
Np
i have list
it s for gaming editing streaming etc
everything i nedd
need
here take a look i have i need to compare this https://pcpartpicker.com/list/YXRMDc and this https://pcpartpicker.com/list/X9KxNP @ripe wedge
seagate is cringe
I would say the first list but change the HDD so it's 7200 rpm or get a sata drive
@blazing pilot
can u edit it
50c in minecraft under heavy shaders for a 5600x with an aio?
im assuming thats fine
@muted patio I’m gonna move the aio cooler to the front now
Can someone help
Can I boot my pc if the aio isn’t screwed in?
kinda sketch bc the airflow will be kinda average
almost whats is going on with your cables atm?
you should probs just mount it first
Also my dram light is on so there is something wrong with me ram
But nothing is touching the ram
master leaker aio
Can someone help me with my dram light?
reseat ram
It’s currently at 2 and 4
check qvl lists
So I just got into windows and it shows I have no WiFi even though I have an Ethernet cable plugged in...
@rugged heron I would screw in your aio if u were u
Oh well I finished building my pc
But I need internet drivers
But I don’t know how to get those because I don’t have internet on my pc
And I fixed the ram issue and moved my cooler
Got a phone with tethering?
What is tethering
use that for internet and get them from motherboard manufacturers website
Use your phones internet connection via USB
I don’t have a USB port on my phone
Yo uodn't have a USB charging cable?
Ye that has USB on the other end from the phone. Can plug it in and go to Internet settings on phone and maybe Share/tether connection?
Else you'll have to use a laptop or another PC to download drivers and transfer with a USB drive
Both yes
Do you exactly know how to turn on tethering?
It's going to depend on the phone, every one is different. But it usually in with the WiFi settings
O I think I got it
Or internet settings
Ok now I just download the drivers onto my phone?
No, share the internet connection to your PC and download them with your PC 🙂
How do I share the internet
Ok I got it connected to the usb but it’s not connected to internet and I have hotspot on
Guess it won't work then. use another device to download drivers and transfer with a usb drive
If you can get to the storage on your phone via USB that might even work
It is but that cooler doesn't cool well for the price. Can you get an ID Cooling SSE224XT where you are?
ok
The ID Cooling is typically $30 and is 3-5C cooler than the ThermalRight
how about the nh-d15
That's a fantastic cooler if it fits your case
how do i check
isnt building my own PC dangerous? some parts should not go together
Pcpartpicker.com helps with that
Main thing I have against pcpp is not checking ram clearance for cpu cooler :p
And ram clearance against top mount aio
Anybody know of a 22110 nvme m.2 pcie 4.0 ssd?
Why 22110?
Why so long?
22110 means your slot can fit a 2280, which are more common
Ye
Just because itll fit the motherboard heatsink
Uh?
So will a 2280?
are video cards graphics cards?
btw what is the "regular" role
@blazing pilot i see u everywhere
u could say that
Video cards are graphics cards, same thing
hi mr1111
Hi
hehehe
video cards = GPU
Technically, GPU, graphics processing unit, only refers to the chip that's on the graphics card, but the terms are used interchangeably
Most of your budget
There's some applications like blender that does multi-gpu well, otherwise, not really useful
What's the total budget
~1200 USD
Hm
Post tariffs, ~600$ for a RTX 3070 I'd say
Before you could get a 3080 for 700$ but tariffs take that out of range
I don't want an NVIDIA
Ick
sucks with linux
wat
@little osprey you know they don't have any ti-ending current generation cards right
3060TI lol
yes'=
Ye
Im using an NVIDIA right now, just want to try AMD
3080 and 3070 lol
i want to build a ryzen
Just like
Hope to God you get a 6800 at any reasonable price
Because that'll be a miracle :p
It's just rdna2 stock situation is absolute crap
Mmmm, depends lol
so i would rather RTX than GTX
I mean
RTX is still gimmicky IMO
@little osprey look at where tsmc is at ;D
Well, Samsung is making nVidia now
oh
@muted patio a100 still tsmc 7nm
Well yeah but all the 3000 series are Samsung
Ye, but I was hearing a lot about moving to tsmc, but stock situation lol
Well, they just renewed their Samsung contract so I don't see that happening soon
At least for consumer GPU's
Maybe next gen?
How to I reinstall the cpu cover?
Cpu cover? Like, the cooler?
No like the black cover u remove to install the cpu
Doesn’t really pop in just stays there and when I pull the lever down it won’t close
LGA1200
Ah thanks worked
YW
wait guys
i think that my front panel usb's are like staticy or smth
bc my corsair headst is not working
its being bad and ppl online say that check for static on usb
USB 3.0?
for any usb
oof
2.0 or 3.0? If 3.0, try 2.0
Drivers installed?
and also realtek console is not starting 😳
ima prob just return it tbh
Anyone know
How to fix a fan
The fan spins when it boots
But it stops after a couple of seconds
Please help
an on what?
Can someone help me figure out why this happens when I try to open something with Java
Wdym
If case fan, probs set up in BIOS that way
Motor might be getting worn out or bearing ded
Hopefully not since i dont want to spend money
Ill checkbios
But I use windows not Linux so should I still do this?
Ah ok thanks
Also gpu fans only work when it reaches a certain temp right?
On some of them yes
Alrighty ty
I would get a beefier cooler like the NH-D15 also probably switch the main boot ssd out for like an SN750 or a 970 evo. either of the case options are good. but the hard drives arnt amazing but id probably go the seagate one because its faster
I just woke up so thats why got to you so late 
does my case fit nh d15 and is it quiet
Yes
idk about fit but it is very quiet
The Lian Li does
noctua very very quiet
it can be quiet
The TD500 will too
are noctua fans better than bequiet ones? in terms of noise
SYS_FAN or CHA_FAN
Smart Fan is disabled
Can't make out rest of settings, pic blurry
quick question, 3200mhz c16 or 4000mhz c18
Diameter is gonna matter more than brand. I had a 120mm tower cooler in the desktop case I could barely hear but when I build my mitx system and got a low profile cooler, it had an 80mm blowdown fan. Functions well, but noisier.
for what cpu
If 4 pin fans, set to PWM
Mmmm, I'd go 4000
even at c18?
ah
Fans are 3 pin
okay
Af120
Ah, has to be DC mode then
Also, scroll down to see more settings lol
SCROLL DOWN
There are more fan settings down there
Aleight
vin how is the mobo
Ah, so they're all just set to a constant speed yeah?
@muted patio is the mobo okay
maybe its broken
Mighty be ded then
could go cheaper mobo
@woeful agate
motherboard is fine
important question @woeful agate
is x570 asus tuf wifi better tho?
o
If the fan is broken
Good for 3000
did u cut cheese with the fan
ok
It just stopped workig
If you bump the fan with finger does it try and spin?
Out of nowehere
I did before
Everything breaks out of nowhere
Didnt work
Ill try rn tho
do u have brother with a pc
No
ahh
Lmao
u could of stole one of his fan
pph
But
ooh
Oh
did u ever smack into ur pc by mistake
Does it affect your temps?
No
ok
Ill check rn
blame ur mother
Disable the power button
😉
Or set it in the BIOS to require a 10 second press to shut down
Doing rn
now make ur mom feel bad for giving birth to her and buy a new pc fan or a new pc as a whole
Lmao
I cant
Buy rn
Maybe next yeat
Year
Since my mom doesnt want me to buy stuff
J bought a lot last year
But
Maybe
I could talk to the guy who built my pc
Idk
ok btw do u have warranty
I bet she just unplugs the power xD
Lmao
Welp
It broken
Checking temps
It runs at boot
Then stops
So maybe it can be fixed?
that'll work. PSU is overkill but it will work
Could go RM 750
with slight overclocking?
Only way is to MAYBE turn the fan speed up in BIOS
Yes, 850 if you want a comfort level
Ok thx again xD
YW
Also I'd recommend a corsair 4000d or something for the case, that case is pretty expensive compared to other cases like it
I would like a case thats quiet and good for cooling
Follow cable to motherboard header
It will be labeled SYS-FAN 1 etc
then you know
Phanteks P500A
Fantastic case
TD500 also
What are these things on the front io on the be quiet 802?
Like R and stuff
Man
Oh, fan controller
I have an addiction
