Win10 won't have updates (unless you pay for it), it won't be killed If the PC is used for basic tasks it won't make any difference imo

Get the 5700X3D. You'll be able to power even a stronger GPU if needed.

Windows 10 is going to hit end of life before too much longer. One of the main drivers for upgrading my hardware is if I am going to freshly reinstall with Windows 11 anyway I might as well upgrade the hardware as well. At least for the 1600X system. The 1600(12nm) is getting upgraded because I want to switch from 65w CPU plus 75w GPU to a Ryzen 7 8700G and it will get the Mint 22 when that comes out in a couple of months. Another option is to do Windows 10 for now and then upgrade the CPU to something like at 2600 or 3600 when I upgrade the OS to Windows 11 later. Would also spread the cost out.

I distro hop in the past. Fedora and ubuntu are by far my go to when I just want something reliable. I ditched fedora recently because I don't really like having to deal with rolling release in which I am force to upgrade my system every year. Ubuntu LTS with its half decade support life works better.

If it's related to load, it's almost certainly coil whine. Pretty normal for some components, motherboards, power supplies and most often video cards. The sound is inductors, they're a copper coil inside a ceramic housing as part of power delivery circuits. They basically clean voltage, smooths out fluctuations in it. When they do this they vibrate ever so slightly, and with very specific voltage changes it can be audible. The sound you hear is the copper coil in the inductor vibrating against the ceramic housing. Most often they're sealed with an epoxy but it's not perfect. It's an inherent attribute of manufacturing scale. Really bad coil whine at all loads is a quality control issue and with some manufacturers you can RMA the component. But if it's inconsistent, or only happens at specific loads, its just luck of the draw and you gotta deal with it.

So I am looking at picking up a Razer Blade 14 from a friend for 600 bucks. It has the RTX 3070, but he says it doesnt work. Pictures hes showed me show that the 3070 isnt listed in Task Manager at all, but it is listed under display adapters in Device manager, and is said to be working properly. Is this something to stay away from, or an easy issue? I saw someone on the Razer forum with this exact same issue but the post had 0 replies. Figured someone here might know.

If your GPU was on the way out, it's more likely that your entire system would shut down, possibly throw a BSOD, a POST code, or fail to boot.

Make sure the only standoffs installed are the ones you need, if there are extra you could be shorting something on the back of your motherboard. Beyond that try using just one stick of ram, try both sticks in both slots individually to narrow down having a back stick or a possibly a bad slot. If that changes nothing reseat the GPU. Still no changes, then reseat the CPU. turn your power supply off completely when removing or installing components. Best of luck. Also, if you have the chance, pictures would help. Could be as simple as a forgotten connector.

I'm pretty sure their main goal is to make money. Not any different from Facebook, YouTube etc. No one forces you to use it, if you go there, you want it. Their algorithm feeds you what you are interested in. That is why you stay on. And for the data and privacy issue and the commies stealing our data... Look at how our government steals our data and spies on us. Google patriot act etc Most content on those social media shit is from stupid users. You can't outlaw stupidity. If you could, we wouldn't have 80 year old senators who don't even know email make decisions about IT. I never used tiK Tok. But it sounds like the stupid "shorts" on YT. To each their own and nothing will get better by government deciding what is appropriate for us to use

What if you move your DIMMs to slots B1 and B2? How does the system react? I doubt a BIOS update would fix anything since this is standard, especially if the update doesn't even address your issues. My thought at the moment is the slot is bad.

Then a simple reboot should be gone by now. I hope since some files were corrupt.

I can just install emulators to turn it I to a gaming box but I am pretty against the idea of playing windows games on there. I have windows on my 2nd drive so if I want to play windows games, I would boot into that instead. Not sure why I would want to wine it. Emulating ps2, switch ect or playing open-source games are different matter. They are pretty much equivalent on both windows and linux and I would pick my linux os over windows in all cases when equal.

I ran it and it said it repaired the files

Or you can just install Win10, it's not as if you're losing something ...

Looks better, at least a 7700X has use of an AIO

for gaming there's Moonlight as mentioned above, or you could use Steam's native 'remote play' as well. otherwise for generic remote connect, there's things like TeamViewer or native RDP.

Hello Guys, I have the Weird issue that my pc is whining noticeably sometimes. Though I notice it most of the time when I play Minecraft. I already checked every fan in the system but it’s not that. Also the wining changes depending on what I do in game, if I look east there’s no wining, if I look south it’s very high pitched and if I look west it’s more low pitched. I,d consider my self rather tech savvy, having built a few PCs and also troubleshooted my friends PCsa few times but im so unbelievably confused. These are my Specs Intenso top III 512 GB sata 550 MB/s XPG GAMMIX D10 DDR4 2 x 8 GB 3200 MHz PC4-25600 CL16 Asus Prime b450m-a Il Ryzen 5 3600x msi rx 5700 xt gaming x Be quiet straight Power 10 500W Be quiet Pure Rock 2 Pls Help, thanks in advance. Regards Jack.

I have ran the RAM with XMP on and off no difference. Also I'm only one BIOS behind. But thank you I will try reseating the CPU. Oh and updating the BIOS.

I know it's old, it was also very cheap and doing nothing so I was trying to give it a purpose. It not so much that it doesn't work, it was just loud, swapped out the fan for a 120mm and its much more tolerable now. The only thing holding me back now is Spectrum. For some god forsaken reason the computer will not show up in the spectrum app when connected through the onboard networking so there is no way to enable port forwarding with the spectrum router unless I install a wifi card. But that's a question for a different thread.

Hey! Today i tried to build a pc for the first time. Everything wen't ok until i turned it on, black screen spamming delete, no signal. I tried spamming delete for a good while with no results. I saw the orange light immidietly on turning the pc on, which i know often indicates RAM. I didnt have much problems with ram on install, they clicked* and i double checked that they are in all the way. Building and trying to boot it took me about 5hrs, since i wanted to be sure of each step by double/triple checking on my other pc ex. LTT newest pc build guide video, general info in the net. There was one part. isntalling the mobo in the case. So there was already some sort of stands on the case, and i tried to fit my mobo in the case and realized, if i put another stand on top of the already exsiting ones, the mobo would be too high above, so that the io shield for example wouldnt fit. So i did just install it on the already existing ones, they fitted perfectly aswell. In ~13Hrs, i will be trying to figure out whats wrong with it more thoroughly. If u have anything you might think is the problem please dont hesitate to post it under, tyvm PC: ASUS ROG STRIX B650-E F GAMING WIFI Kingston 2x8Gb FURY beast DDR5 6000MHz CL36 Ryzen 5 7600X AM5 Gigabyte RTX 4060 EAGLE OC Samsung 1tb 980 PRO M.2 PCie 4.0 NvMe 7000/5000MB/s Seasonic 750W FOCUS GX-750 Noctua NH-D15 LianLi LANCOOL 216
