  1. one more thing, does noctua cooler come with brackets needed for Am4 installation or do i request it extra? i saw somewhere that might be the case Also could you recommend some good RGB fans, i was looking at corsair ML rgb series and they are so expensive @TheDailyProcrastinator @ShinRamen @boggy77 I really appreciate the help you guys have given me, thank you
  2. So I might be putting my PC in the 2nd floor where I don't want to run ethernet cables, so I am looking to get a mobo with wifi I have some money left so I am also thinking to go with a premium x570 board (possibly upgrade cpu to 3900x as well) could use your opinion on this @TheDailyProcrastinator @boggy77 @ShinRamen
  3. whats the difference between corsair RM 750 Watts PSU vs RMX 750 Watts
  4. Thanks for the detailed explanation. I really like the meshify case, Might go with that. Also switching to the memory you linked. also gonna try to get windforce 2080 like @ShinRamen mentioned. should i go for higher clock speed on the memory? like 3400 or not worth?
  5. you mean get 2 16 gb sticks at a higher clock speed? the one I selected is 3200 Mhz @ShinRamen
  6. any thoughts on the fans on the mobo? those seem finicky, I am kind of scared it might stop working after a year or two @boggy77
  7. Hello guys, I am planning to build a brand new gaming PC with a budget of around $2000-2500. I have a small list of preliminary parts but I am stuck on what to choose for the motherboard. List so far: cpu: amd 3700x cpu cooler: noctua NH d15 graphics : Msi 2080 super ram: corsair vengeance lpx 32 GB(4X 8 gb sticks) power supply: Corsair RMX 750 Watts Case: corsair 750 D I did a little research and found motherboard as Msi tomahawk B450 Max I realize there is a newer chipset X570 but I am not sure if its worth because of the price to performance ratio. Please give some advice on whether I should get a x570 or stick with tomahawk max (if there are other B450 boards that are better, please link) I was looking at x570 asrock taichi. it had mixed reviews online and I never used asrock boards.
  8. @Livinloud I have attached a screenshot and its all firefox mainly, but I have always run firefox and never had any problems. Do you think the browser is infected with virus maybe? the only addons I use are adblocks, BTTV for twitch and grammarly extention. Should i uninstall firefox?
  9. @ki8aras Norton for Antivirus, malwarebytes for anti malware/spyware rootkits etc 2 antivirus not the issue, I uninstalled both today just to check and the ram had no significant changes. So I installed both of them back.
  10. Hi guys, I have 16GB of ram in my system and when I casually use my PC it the ram idles at around 7 or 8GB. I don't think this is normal. I have 2 monitors and usually have 2 firefox open and discord. Are my ram sticks going bad? How do I find out, I think before it used to idle around 3-4GB. I run Norton antivirus and Malwarebytes in the background. I tried playing the new game anthem and when the game starts, the RAM shoots up to around 15.6 GB and I can't even play the game anymore bc its stutter and lag around etc My specs: cpu intel4790k memory: gskil ripjaws ddr3 2133Mhz running XMP HDD 1tb WD blue (OS and programs here) & 2 TB wd black (anthem installed here) air cooler for cpu and 4 case fans running on pwm GTX 970 Please let me know what I can do to troubleshoot. Thanks for your help, appreciate it
  11. @Leonard @maartendc @Goildzy hey if I buy a cas10 ram and clock it to match my current cas11 ram, would that work? i saw a cheap option for like $70, same brand same speed but diff timings.
  12. yeah amazon has them but its used ram and the new one is 200+, i saw a different ram on the gskill website with same clock speed and latency timings. but it had a different name. i think it was called sniper or something. i might have to try those
  13. I have 2 4gb sticks right now and my mobo is asus z97-k i have gskill ram but I bought my PC from cyberpower and I cant find the exact ram they used online. I think its discontinued, so idk what to do. This is the ram I want to buy: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231654&cm_re=G.SKILL_F3-2133C10D-_-20-231-654-_-Product its not exactly like my current ram but its the closest thing I could find. According to CPU-Z my current ram is gskill 2133mhz ddr3 part number: f3-17000CL11 so should i Not upgrade? just stick with the current ram? i dont want compatiblity issues and I dont have money to buy a new kit for 16gb. @Jurrunio @Leonard @Goildzy I think this is my current ram: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231468 but its not stock anywhere, i checked new egg and amazon. can you guys recommend a similar product that would work with these? Thanks for all your help
  14. Hey guys, I have 8gb of memory on my pc now, i want to upgrade to 16. If i buy 2 new sticks, does the ram timings/latency matter? my current ram is like 9:11:11 or something and the new one i found was like 10:12 etc so if i purchase that one, will it give compatibility errors? Any Input is greatly appreciated.
  15. I have been meaning to do that, I really like windows 7 but I am trying to get windows 10 at a cheaper price. Hopefully this black friday.
  16. Hey guys I have 8gb of ram in my system and thinking about upgrading but I cant find the exact same model. so my question is if i buy the same Mhz and brand would that work? my system is as follows: 4790k cpu, gtx970 gfx, WD 1 TB, windows 7, 750W psu, 1 network card, 1 sound card. according to CPU-Z my memory is GSkill Part Number F3-17000CL11 it also says Max Bandwidth is PC3-12800(800Mhz) but the ram sticks default clock speed is 2133 Mhz and I am running it that speed using XMP profile. I saw a few ram sticks similar to this one but i couldnt find the exact same one. So i was thinking to add 2 more sticks of new ram something like this: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231654&cm_re=G.SKILL_F3-2133C10D-_-20-231-654-_-Product Would this work? Any type of input is highly appreciated.
  17. ty so much for all ur help, ill try to save up for that
  18. i have intel 4790k cpu asus z97-k motherboard gtx 970 gfx 8gb memory 1tb HD 1 sound card, 1 network card @TrigrH
  19. oh ok so if i were to buy new 2 ram sticks, can i just buy another 2133 mhz from a different brand , does that work?
  20. ok @TrigrH it does show 1066.5 but how did you know that? also why is it only showing half, is there a setting i have to enable? also would u recommend increasing ram to 16 gb or keep 8?
  21. ok i just did it and cpu z still shows my memory bandwidth max as 800mhz and it says PC3-12800 what does that mean? im also buying 2 more sticks of 4gb does it have to same brand/exact model of the current one i have? @TrigrH
  22. what do u mean? @TrigrH what does XMP do? srry im noob
  23. Hey all, I have 8 Gb g skill ripjaws ram in my pc now running at 1600mhz, i checked the ram specifications when I bought it and it says it can go upto 2133mhz now my question is can I overclock just the ram without overclocking the cpu, my ram seems to be the bottle neck because when im playing games and alt tabbing to discord or my browser, it lags like hell. also i was checking frequency and stuff in the bios i can increase it upto 2400mhz and bclk only had 2 options 100:100 and 100:133 and auto, its set to auto but idk what the other 2 options mean. I only have 8GB so is it worth it to overclock or buy 2 more sticks. its ddr3 btw my motherboard is asus z97-k I think this is my memory stick: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231654&cm_re=gskill_ripjaws_ddr3_2133mhz-_-20-231-654-_-Product
