Thanks for the quick replies guys! I decided to use a bigger psu 650w but now I’m not getting a post. Motherboard is a b350f rog strix with a 2600x and a gtx 1070. The GPU was tested on a different pc and works fine. The ram sticks too. So that only leaves mobo + cpu. Any thoughts?

Hi guys So I’m building a machine from spare parts I had lying around and I’ve turned my living room upside down so gf is not very pleased. I just got stuck on if the 400w cooler master masterwatt lite with 80+ white will be sufficient for the ryzen 5 2600x and gtx 1070 I’m putting in here. According to the psu calc it should draw 380w ish. What are you guys’ opinion on the matter, in a bit of a rush to finish this build. Thanks

As the title suggests, I’m looking to overclock my 8600k to around 5ghz. I’m currently using 16gb of 2133mhz ram and just bought myself a pair of 3200mhz sticks. Upon further research, I learned that the difference in speed won’t matter much for gaming. So I’m wondering if I should send the sticks back and OC with 2133 or reap the benefits of 3200mhz? Also, will a 5ghz OC give me a noticeable performance boost in games at all or am I wasting my time here? Thanks in advance!

Thanks for all the fast replies. From what I’ve been reading, 1 8pin pcie cable can deliver 150w. In other words, I would need 3. Unless of course the pcie slot supplies the rest, not quite sure how the power management works internally.

So I was building my brother’s setup and when unpacking his GPU I saw that it had a whopping 3 individual 8pin power connectors on it (ROG 3080 strix). Looking at his psu I noticed that it only had 2 pcie cables. I was wondering if I should buy a new psu or grab a “1-to-2” pcie cable from a different machine, meaning I would use 2 cables to power a card with 3 connectors. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.

Hi guys! Description: So my PC has had an issue with running demanding titles since it was built, however crashes and bsod's have only in the past year become a consistent occurance. The issue only really arose when I downloaded and played both Rise of the Tomb Raider and Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order. I have been playing other titles such as Battlefield 1, Battlefield 5 and Rainbow Six Siege without any issues. After updating all my drivers from the Asus website, the problems were still happening. After a reflashed BIOS and an updated + reinstalled windows installation, the problem still persists. After trying other things like sfc and DISM, you guessed it, the problem still persists. All of the aforementioned lead me to believe that my PC problem is probably hardware related. After talking to my local PC retailer, they mentioned that the problem is most likely RAM-related and that I should try other ram modules or swapping the current ones in and out. While I have yet to try this, I wanted to share my issue here in order to seek more opinions on the issue. Below are my system specifications. System info: OS - Windows 10 Pro (x64) (Retail version - only OS ever installed on the system) Age - 4 years CPU - Intel i5 8600K GPU - Nvidia Geforce GTX 1080 (ROG strix version - factory OC) MOBO - Asus z370-i gaming (mini-itx) PSU - Fractal Design Integra 650W RAM - Corsair Vengeance lpx 3000Mhz 2x8Gb Dumps and diagnostic data can be seen as pinned attachments.

Hi guys! As the title says I'm buying my brother's Switch off him. I really want to play Smash Bros Ultimate today so I was just about to buy it in the e-shop when I realised that the game will be connected to his account. And there's the problem. Basically I've been googling for an hour or so with no results on how accounts and digital games work. My brother has both Rocket League and Mario Kart 8 del. and I want to have those games linked to my Nintendo account too. The only 3 solutions I can think of are: 1) Changing his Nintendo account's email to mine and basically taking over his account. But that would mean I'd have to delete that email from my own Nintendo account which I have other things on. 2) Find some way to transfer those games to my Nintendo account and create my own user on the switch itself linked to it. 3) Creating a new email address exclusively for that account. I'd like to hear you guys' opinions on the topic. Quick answers would be appreciated because like I stated earlier I really wanna start playing smash.

So we have a 2 tb WD Mycloud NAS at home that we store all our family photos and videos and I've recently been thinking about moving a part of my game library there. The problem is that I can't access it in the Network-part of my files. I used to be able to double-click on the icon and find a bunch of folders like: Photos, videos, other. However now I'm just redirected to the Mycloud website where they offer me to store my files in the cloud ,but I want them on my local NAS instead. I'm just wondering if anyone else has had this issue and if anyone knows how it works. It seems to me that MyCloud has seen a quite recent update and no longer functions like it used to. Hopefully my explanations are understandable and I appreciate all responses Thanks in advance!

To clarify I'd like to point out that I'm at the moment using 2 adapters. 1. NTSC to PAL 2. RCA AV to SCART Btw, it still doesn't work if I plug everything in to the front RCA AV connectors either

The TV in question is a sanyo ce21a2 and upon reading the reference manual (the first result on Google) I found that it supports colour systems: PAL, NTSC 4.43, and N.A.P (NTSC Amusement by PAL). I'm assuming that my GameCube dol- 001 (Japanese) is outputting a NTSC or N.A.P signal that my TV can read, but not those exact ones. Or maybe it is, as demonix00 said, that the colour can only be displayed through SCART and that the 3rd party adapter I have isn't sufficient enough. I'm guessing there isn't much to do really, seen as there can't possibly be a way to know if the signal is NTSC 4.43. But I'm still confused that the converter didn't work anyway considering that it should be changing the signal to PAL which my TV should recognise anyway. Do you have any solution ideas demonic?

Hi again guys! The converter didn't do the trick and I'm still without colour. Can someone please try to explain to me how I get a Japanese GameCube to work on a Pal TV? Thanks again

Thanks guys for the confirmation. I'll try that. Appreciate the quick response Merry Christmas!

So I'm having some troubles with a GameCube that I bought recently. It is a Japanese GameCube (NTSC) and has a NTSC analog cable that connects to my old PAL-TV (I live in Europe). I've bought two games, but they only play in black and white; in other words without colour. I'm wondering if this is because the rgb signal from the NTSC GameCube isn't being correctly read by my PAL-TV. Can someone teach me how this works and if there is a solution? I was thinking of getting a NTSC to PAL converter, but I'm a rookie in these waters and I want to know what I'm dealing with. Thanks in advance!

Thanks a lot, I realise that. Thanks for the quick replies and all the advice. I just downloaded and ran malwarebytes, things look fine. Looks like the gods gave me a second chance

hold on. I managed to get into my downloads folder and delete the zip and the extracted folder. the message has stopped popping up now I now have access to my desktop. I think it might be gone!
