Hello all, This is my first time building a machine designated for file storage and I am just not sure which option is right for me. Any input one way or the other is appreciated, any pros and cons using one or the other would be awesome. Thanks in advanced.

Hey all, my girlfriend has been getting interested in a graphic design recently and I am looking into getting her a beginner drawing tablet and am stuck deciding between 2. A Wacom Intuos and the XP-Pen Deco 01 V2, obviously the price point on these are quite a bit different, if there are any other models that I am missing let me know as I am not versed in this market. Thank you all in advanced for any assistance and advice!

Thank you for the quick response, as far as i can see that fixed the issue. Many thanks.

I just upgraded to windows 11 and something is using a lot of my GPU and i cannot figure out what as i cant see my gpu usage in task manager, anyone have any ideas?

The plan is mostly mass storage for pictures, videos, important files, etc... I was planning on using TrueNAS with a Z2 configuration as the 60ish tb of storage seemed okay for a first build with plans to make a bigger storage array in a few years.

I am currently in the process of building my first NAS and am currently picking out drives and am tossed up between seagate exos x20 and seagate ironwolf pro drives. I will getting 5 20tb drives, I can't find any substantial differences about the drives other the the price gap. Any advice is appreciated, thank you all.

I am in the market for some new monitors, I will be buying 3 of whichever I choose and am currently stuck between these 2. I am an avid gamer who plays a large mass of games ranging from your average single player games like minecraft and tomb raider to more intense AAA titles such as COD and Battlefield. I feel as if 1440p 240hz is a good middle ground for me because I want better quality than 1080p but don't wanna suffer from the performance hit of running a 4k monitor. Any and all suggestions as well as opinions and facts on the two monitors I have listed above will be greatly appreciated. Thank you all in advance!

Hello all, I am currently considering upgrading to windows 11 from 10, I have a 5950x and RTX 3090, I remember when windows 11 first launched there was a lot of issues with ryzen 5000 performance do to scheduling. Is this still an issue? Are there any notable benefits or otherwise I should take not of before upgrading? I would appreciate any input given. Thanks all.

Hooked up a secondary PSU and the PC worked fine

Hooked up a secondary PSU and the PC worked fine

Yeah I have been this whole time lol, finally narrowed it down to a dead PSU. Thanks for the assistance my friend

My motherboard has rbg that is on before even when the pc is off as long as the psu is flipped on

Just did that, it didn't work

Motherboard lights are on, literally nothing happens when I press power, no fans, no debug codes no display, no POST whatsoever, specs are as follows Intel i7 6700k Asus Maximus VII Formula Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 2666 32GB CL15 Nvidia Geforce GTX 2070 Founders Edition Corsair Obsidian Series 450D Boot Drive 500GB Samsung 850 Evo, Mass Storage 4TB WD Black Corsair CX750M 80+ Bronze Generic Acer Desktop Monitor x2 / Acer Predator XB272 Corsair H100i V2

Alright ladies and gentlemen, here is my issue. My secondary PC just randomly turned off one day, I was able to turn it back on for about 2 hours and now I get nothing when I press the power button and nothing even when I try to press the start button on my motherboard. Does anyone have any suggestions before I start taking this apart to troubleshoot? Any help is appreciated, I use this second PC to stream so I would really like to get it back online soon. Thank you all in advance.

The only things that I have found that fix it for people is to run all hardware completely stock and if that doesn't work you could try and wait for the update next week and see if any optimizations fix your issue. My last resort was formatting my pc and reinstalling windows and that's what finally worked.

It's gotta be a COD thing, I ended up doing a fresh install of windows and thats what fixed it for me.

I made a windows install usb and reset, that way it was a completely clean install.

Being that this was a new PC and I had nothing on it other than games I did a complete format and reinstall of windows and that has fixed my issues, have been playing all day with no issues. I know that may not be a viable option for everyone but it worked for me

Not sure, never cared for warzone so I didn't install it on this pc

I have indeed, multiple times, they haven't been able to help

I just built a new PC and anytime i try to play cold war it just keeps crashing, I have tried everything I can find online for fixes and nothing works for me. Can somebody please help, I just want to play COD. Specs are as follows. I have tried scan and repair I have tried all the game file things like deleting cache and refreshing player data as well as lowering graphics settings. I am currently testing my ram to try and see if that's the issue. Specs are as follows: CPU: Ryzen 9 5950x CPU Cooler is Corsair H100i Elite Capellix GPU: Strix RTX 3090 OC MOBO: Crosshair VIII Hero (wifi) RAM: 4x16gb Corsair vengeance pro rgb running at 3600mhz cl 18 PSU is a Corsair HX1200 Have a 1tb 970 evo with my OS on it and a 2tb 860 evo with all my game as well as a 4tb wd black for files I really hope somebody has the answer for me. Have tried: Registry fix -d3d11 lowering settings swapping ram, even did memtest on both sets with no issues have checked all drives for fragmented storage tried completely reinstalling the game tried deleting cache every time I launch as well as deleting player data I have even monitored temps and usage through everything and nothing is off. I have my CPU oc'd to 4.5 all core and have even tried disabling the overclock and that doesn't help, have tried ram at 3600,3200, and even default 2133 and nothing changes. I just can't get anything to work for me. I thank everyone in advance for any suggestions you may have.

I am planning a new build that should be future proof for the next few years to come and i'm having difficulty deciding. I mostly game with light workstation use and streaming on the weekends. I can't decide if the 5950x over the 5900x is worth the $250 jump for the extra 4 cores. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. This is the current parts list I have put together: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/VKTRK3

I'm putting together a new build and cannot decide if the price gap between the 2080 and 2080ti is worth it for the performance. Any input and advice would help. Thank you all in advance!
