  1. I would check for a bios update. Check ryzen master and see if anything has changed. You could throw some arctic p12 max. Affordable and great on radiators.
  2. Frustrating. I had a BeQuiet pure rock and it's mounting system was finicky. Good little cooler though.
  3. I would just let her play her games and you play yours until she takes an interest in your game or you in hers. PS: No tiktok. Tiktok bad. Say no to tiktok.
  4. 5700g by a long way. Ideally you would sell the 1800x and get something like a 5600. 1800x is in no mans land.
  5. There are multiple answers here depending on your needs and budget. If you primarily play Tarkov, I would recommend getting an AMD x3d chip. That could be the 5700x3d 5800x3d 7800x3d and so on. Tarkov benefits from the extra L2 and L3 cache that x3d chips have. Upgrading from a 9600 to a 9900k would help with the background applications, but I don't think you would see a monumental leap in gaming. So imo, your options are to get a new motherboard and cpu. Potentially cooler and ram depending on the cpu you choose. You're looking at upwards of $500. Or you could get a used 9900k, which would cost about $275 to $300 for a marginal upgrade. (not worth imo) But then if you upgrade to a fast cpu, your 2060 is going to hold you back. Best option, hold out until you're ready for a new build. The 9900k is a better chip but not a worth while upgrade for the cost imo. I think the 5700x3d would be a solid move.
  6. I'm not sure of the gauge. Do you guys know where I could find something a little better than the one I linked? Having trouble finding one. I don't know much about electricity. You're saying if the voltage is higher, the amps can be lower. And if the amps are lower, you can use a thinner gauge cable? Thank you for all the help everyone.
  7. I'm planning out my move from the USA to Europe. Right now I have an EVGA T2 1000w psu. I know I can swap the power cable from the unit to the wall, however I know the power cable this chonky PSU came with was quite thick. Is there somewhere I can buy a comparable cable in the europlug C or F type? I'd prefer this if anyone knows who or where I can order it. Or is this Amazon - European Computer/Monitor Power Cord, Europlug or CE 7/7 to C13, VDE Approved going to be fine? Basically, at 1000w does the gauge of the power cable matter?
  8. Yea, there's not really anything I need higher specs for. Problem is, I don't forsee needing higher specs anyways. Playing less games these days. SFF is just appealing. I think that's what it is, I just want a project. Been on a "minimalism" kick lately.
  9. My pc build is from 2019. 3700x, x470, 2070super. 64gb ram. Here's the list for anyone interested. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/WXBWCd I'm having some random minor issues lately and getting the itch to build again. Problem is, I don't really have a need to upgrade for any game. I play mainly 3 games, all of which it runs triple digit frames. Question is, how big of a difference is it going to pcie gen 4, ddr5, newer cpu ect. I want to move to small form factor, probably matx. Retain the PSU, SSDs, maybe cooler, maybe GPU. Thought about just dropping in a 5800X3D, retain the 64gb of ram. But then if I want to go sff, I'd need to buy a motherboard too. Which is a lot to still be on am4 and ddr4. What are your thoughts?
  10. Did you check the wires going to the pump head itself? Anyways, corsair should be good about the warranty.
  11. Even if you don't think you messed with the cooler, do a repaste and remount. Double check and make sure all the headers are plugged in. Almost sounds like the pump header isn't connected, but you should have a warning for that.
  12. I wonder if they're attracted to the sweet smell of ethylene glycol in the aio.
  13. I've got a weird problem to solve. There is a windows 10 pc that only has local accounts and can only have local accounts. I need the ability to remotely lock or sign out the device on demand. Not sure if there is a parental feature or app that can do this. Microsoft Intune won't work unfortunately. If anybody has an idea, let me know. Update: going to try Microsoft family share.
