Think this article explains it well 

I’d just download a clean w11 from Microsoft and stick it on a stick and reinstall without bloaters

I have not done that yet and it’s a bit late so I probably won’t tonight. But I will be happy to try it tomorrow. If that doesn’t work what is your next recommendation?

Well, if that does not work and there is still no power, then I believe your PSU may be at fault. 
 

what PSU do you have? What is your system setup? And how old is the PSU?

Just now, Polar180 said:

Yes.

Okay. It’s a silly thing that happens to all of us! 
 

have you tried the cmos reset I sent you in prior message?

Unplug and replug did not work

Just rereading the thread - is your PSU switch ON?

How would I do that? Can I even do that when nothing powers on at all? No fans spin nothing.

basically you power off your PC, unplug from the main. Remove the motherboard battery and use a screw driver for example to ‘short’ the pins.

Have you tried clearing CMOS?

I think the 5800x is a decent upgrade over your current 2700x.  Yes the 5800X3D is faster but that doesn't make the 5800x slow!

 €135 premium for the 5800X3D might actually be worth it if you want to use a higher end GPU. Have a look through this.

I would wait for 5700x3d or 5500x3d if you wanna get cheaper.

edit: Any X3D chips are worth it for gaming. even the 5600x3d beat 5700x in most games.

 

Thanks Both. just after posting GN released his 2023 'black friday' "best of 2023"  video!

here he also says best value upgrade is the 5800x3d. 

Welp, let's hope that by Friday the CPU maybe get a €30-50 drop as offer. Otherwise looks like i'll just have to bite the bullet. 

Whole other question to you both: I game on 1440P, thinking of getting a 4K monitor next 3-6 months. What would be a suitable GPU upgrade for my current system (assume 5800x3d) keeping this in mind and probably a budget of around €500/600?   Thanks!

Budget (including currency):  €250ish

Country: NL

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: gaming (more so single player, non shooters), normal use. 

I started a thread last month about what CPU to choose as upgrade for my current system (see signature). The choice was between 5700x and 5800X3d, and I was waiting for BF deals for the x3d. However, until now this CPU has not been on sale yet, the others have so looking at other options for now just in case. 

Price for 5800X is €189

Pric for 5700X is €166

Price for 5800X3D €325

Unless the 5800x3d somehow drops to around €250, would it make sense to pay the little premium and buy the 5800X instead of the 5700X? Im not sure if a +€135~ is worth it going for the 5800X3D. I game on 1440P, next upgrade will either be GPU+monitor, or a complete new build. 

Thanks for your advice in advance

5800X3D. I got Assetto Corsa, Payday 3, F1 series, and probably soon enough Forza Motorsport.

Thanks. I'll wait for black fridaynin November, perhaps a deal pops up on itm as currently its around €325 here.

On the money. Not every board can handle the high end Zen amperage demand but your board should be fine.

Thanks!

Which one would you personally opt for, also taking my current GPU in consideration?

Just curious and can’t make up my mind haha 

9 hours ago, SorryBella said:

nope.

Yes and honestly that would be it for Cities, most simulator titles, and F1 series for as long as they stick to EGO. If you have stock cooler you need an aftermarket cooler but after that as long as your case is pretty well ventilated you can run it on stock settings.

gotcha, thanks. 

So if I understand corretly, either the 5700x or go the extra mile for the 5800x3d? As the latter would be the best 'new' cpu for my current gen mobo?

Hey thanks for your response.  

Question regarding option #2: I can see the 5800X available for €219 -> is the +€30 price tag worth it insteadf of the 5700x?  Further, I've seen mentioned best pick for an AM4 mobo would be 5800x3d? can you attest to this? as in, it would be the ' best' newer gen chip for AM4 as a last upgrade before the next ugprade in a few years would be the entire rig?

Hi all, so for my current rig I built in late 18 or early 19; what upgrade path would be best for current mobo/gpu? Primarily used for gaming + work (no editing type work, basic stuff)

Budget (including currency): if possible, max €500

Country: Netherlands (but can buy Europe wide)

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: simulator games such as FS22/ETS2/flight sim; cities skylines; indie games; most heavy game probably going to be F24 next year. 
 

Other details

- 2700X

- B450 gaming pro carbon AC

- 2070 

-32GB LPX @ 3200mhz 

- missed details in signature 

I understand that in my budget there is no room for a GPU upgrade, when also upgrading CPU. Would it be best to rather look at GPU upgrade than a CPU? Main reason for upgrading is the PC feels sluggish compared to my M1 MBP. Graphics look decent but I miss the quality of shading (I guess) with my current setup when looking at people playing same games and their graphics. Open to any advice and if I missed anything please let me know! 
 

thanks in advance

I’m still using my first own built pc from 2018 (signature). Only added a second kit of ram during that time.

don’t see any need to upgrade in the near future (for now).

Pick something out of the C tier and you should be fine. Don’t go lower. The lower tiered psu’s are too crap.

Oh, I don’t use Twitter through a browser. Only via app. And in the app it is still a bird!

My Twitter still has the bird. No Shiba to see

Are the strawberries part of it too?

That MSI laptop actually looks really promising in terms of future proofing myself! Thanks for the input and kind words mate

Yeah when I saw it myself I was quite chuffed with the stats haha 

@RichardLongley

Kia ora my dude, so sorry to see this and hope you/family/friends are safe!

I don’t live in NZ  myself but had a gander on the internets.

top budget perhaps something like this $2550

slightly less $2250

around the $2000 mark

personal preference would be the top line and second choice the mid priced one. I took in consideration you may want to use it for a few years coming before you build a new pc. 
 

I can’t directly vouch for the product quality. Only owned HP & Apple laptops but all three from reputable brands so won’t be too worried

if you need any more help or if others have input for improvement, please let me know

Fire hazard. Bottom of the barrel psu.
 

do yourself a favour and get at least a C tier unit from the PSU list @sid posted before (it won’t let me tag you for some reason).

my build has an i5 8400, rx 6600, 4 drives, and 32gb ram with a z chipset motherboard, would this be enough because i won't over clock the GPU only turbo the CPU to 4ghz? 

What psu exactly?
