  1. I don´t know if this will be any help. But when I was younger I was also looking for a cheap PC sold as a set, just make sure if you buy used stuff, that what you buy is actually what was written You can just press the windows button and press "system information" to check that it is all there
  2. Thank you for all the replies! Seems like most people are just saying to buy a bit of a better CPU, since buying a graphics card probably wont be reasonable at that price, specially right now. So I looked a bit around and I am thinking about going a bit over budget and buying a ryzen 9 3900x or if I should just pick between the ryzen 5 5900X or ryzen 7 3900X
  3. Budget (including currency): 2000-3000 Dkr (326-490$) Country: Denmark Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Purely gaming CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 1700X (8 cores) Graphics card: Radeon RX 580 Nitro+ Saphire (blue one, did not know it was kinda weirdly rare) Motherboard: AB350 Gaming K4 Ram: 16 gb Corsair (3200 mhz) SSD: Kingston 480 GB The text here is not going to be super long, but any kind of help would be greatly appreciated. I have been out of the PC building loop for a few years, even though I have seen quite a few of the videos coming from Linus. My question really is, what part should I upgrade? I mainly play an MMO called Guild Wars 2, but sometimes singleplayer games or shooters/strategy games. I am aiming for either upgrading my CPU or graphic card, but I just do not know which, and if 1 of them would be the choice. I do not know what I should upgrade it to? I would also like streaming Guild Wars 2 sometimes, but seems like the game does show below 30 fps when a lot of people is on the screen By the way, I think I got everything written above, but if there is something I missed I will deffenitely write/edit it so it will be easiere for people to read the topic. Thanks for the help in advance! (sorry for the play on words with Hamlet in the title btw)
  4. Yeah, Linus said so himself on this video. And proved it as well. Basically, did it just die out because people are more used to paste/not knowing about it and its capabilities. Or is there some hidden mistake behind it? (Personally thinking about buying it, cleaning up the gue after 2-3 months is kind of annoying). But also, this would make mistakes like air bubbles/too much thermal paste, to little not get in the way of readings which would make everything more stable, or no?
  5. Hey, I saw previosly a lot of hype around thermal pad from almost all youtuber. So since it is more consistent (based on the degrees you might get for putting to much thermal paste or to little), last for a longer time, and only a few degrees from some of the best thermal paste out there, my question generally is: Why did it die out? Is it simply that people are used to thermal paste and not really into changing to something not fully tested yet? Or that there are problems within the pad? Maybe even a third thing I havent thought about yet?
  6. Thank you very much! I Solved it, this seems like a weird problem so I would like to write the solution, just in case if others encounters it. It was already on default, since the new components and reset. It seems like it needed to be overclocked back to 5% to work properly, there doesnt seem to be any logic to it since the frame drops really happened on a timely manner and in all games, from League of Legends to Assasins Creed Odyssey and in all graphic settings, from everything on lowest to higest. But if this happen to you, return to the overclocking part and return it to what it used to be, before you downloaded windows/got new stuff. Like if you had 10% overclocking, put it back to that, and play the game. EDIT:(There probably is some logic, like old files from harddrive connected to 5% or some random weird stuff, but still seems like it shouldnt affect it....At least not in that manner. Games indicate if there is a problem with the hardware, like run slower in big fights and more fps in movement in an empty zone. This was just weird. Either way, if you encounter it, here is a possible solution to your haunted problem) I would like to thank everyone for their help!!!! specially BlueThumb, would probably not have looked in BIOS for a while if it was not for you!
  7. I'll try not overclocking my CPU and see if that helps. My brother and I have tried looking at the load of the cores as I play The Division, Tomb Raider and Assassins Creed Odyssey and it stays at a 70 to 80 % range for all of them until the cpu dips in % Utilization for some reason. When it does that, it shows the loads of all of the cores as 100%, and it keeps fluctuating between these two states at a regular interval.
  8. Yeah I am overclocking my fx 6300 5% Always used to work. So I just need to turn overclocking off?
  9. Ok...... I got a few new things, an SSD (kingston 250 gb), a GPU (RX 580 Sapphire special edition) a new case and windows 10. I have for a few months have had problems, whenever I download a heavy game, like Tomb Raider or Assasins Creed Odyssey I get spike lags after like 2 mins of start up of game, and from there on out every 10 second it drops from 60 to like 10 fps, it literally doesnt matter what I do or where I stand, how I do it etc. As long as I moved the first few seconds of the upstart. It doesnt matter what my graphics is on, low or high, literally same stuff happens. And I mean literally at the same time, and the same fps drop When I finished the Tomb Raider Trailer (even with the dips) I could replay it all right now, with 0 laggs nor dips or stutter. I got my brother to whom is a IT Consultant in some government based company, that does some important websides, identifaction....stuff to look at it, so we have obviously done all the normal stuff. From reset, look at temp, Task manager, put Avast on to remove some of the load on windows.....etc. Only thing that was weird, s that the Core Temp showed that CPU load was on 100% when the spikes happen even though Task Manager showed like 50-80%. (and other normal stuff like update all drivers, go to websites and check if right drivers and check websites for small stuff that you need to shut down like diagtrack. Look at power usage, and give it more to see effect etc). The even more weird stuff about this, is that it only happens when I download big games and dont finish them, even if I delete them after. I used to for like 2 days ago play Guild Wars 2 and at the very least LoL throughout a game without a problem. But now the same thing happens to these games because it happened to odyssey My primary guess is that there might be some corrupted files on the hard-drive that Is still my main and is an old hard drive or windows is acting up in the background. My specs used to be AMD FX 6300 GTX 750 ti msi 8 GB RAM PS: 550 VS Now it is: AMD FX 6300 RX 580 sapphire nitro special edition 8 GB RAM PS: 550 VS honestly....if you have any idea, pleaaaaaaase help. This is some next level haunted stuff
  10. Thanks everyone for your response, read each and everyone. The theme seems to be that even if I personally had the correct blueprints (any cpu out there amd or intel), the knowledge to correctly read, understand/produce it and the time on my hand to build my own CPU. It would just still require the correct machinery, which might end up in billions
  11. There have been quiet a few guesses of how much it would cost to make a CPU, but there is a difference between building a computer or separating it in total and actually making a CPU I can not find anything anywhere actually explaining this, there is only 1 youtube video, even with so many researched links, most of the conclusion is very guessing work. Linus have previously talked very shortly in less than 1 sentence, explaining that the actual products made might not cost a lot, but the research/engineering team behind it did. That makes 0 sense, sorry to say. If making the actual price of the product was so bismall, why wouldn't the rival companies just push the other company out by making a 10 000$ CPU down to the already existing prices of CPU´s if the difference in making them are a few $ In short: I rarely, if ever have used this site, but there might be some engineers or people who work for big companies like these. If I were to right now build a homemade CPU, only for me, not for others. How much would it cost? Or at the very least, is it true or false that the products themselves are not expensive (Please do refrain from "major guessing work", I know that machines cost a lot, and I might not need them or do need them since I need to be precise, but wont have to actually make 1000000 of them before it gets profitable therefor might cheaper, the research behind it cost so more expensive but they are already out there with AMD or Intel...or that I cant since it is not realistic...."I think" etc etc..... there are already a lot of them and there wont be anything new......and annoying to scroll through them tbh, just wondered if anyone "really" knew anything about the CPU...as in worked making them, and perhaps the price of making)
  12. I personally always wanted to get the Nascita mouse, based on the aesthetic they provide (cloth wire, gold plated buttons etc). Imagined it being very good for my studying when researching, though never really had the luxury to buy it
