Linus Drop TIps

Yep that fixed it. Thanks

I was watching some YouTube and this happened (see attached). No idea why or how but it happened. That’s all I have to say because I have idea what is going on. Also my pc still works but all I can see is that.

Should I keep adding to the multiplier?

that worked

Hi I have been trying to overclock my 9700k to 5Ghz nad evertime i boot into windows to log in I get blue screened. I have multicore enhancemtn off, vcore a 1.3v, all power limits are off, and it just wont boot. I have tried 4.9 and 4.8Ghz with the same settings and it wont work. This is my first time overclocking with intel if that makes a difference. One last thing is I have xmp on.

I would recomend a Rm750x or a Rm850x. I would go with the 850x if you plan on upgrading your gpu.

I found a motherboard for less that the one I was going to get for the 3600 for the 9700k. With motherboard and cpu price combines the 9700k costs less. Plus I already have a NHU-12s.

I am building a gaming only system and I found a 9700k for the same price as a Ryzen 5 3600. I know intel isn’t the best option these days but a 9700k is better than a 3600. I am leaning towards the 9700k. Also what are some itx motherboards that will be able to overclock this cpu to its max. One more thing will a 650 watt gold psu be enough for the overclocked cpu and a rtx 3070? Thanks.

I looked and i could not find one. I found a website that could print that cpu holder but i am not sure if it s in mm or in. I will look for another one that is specified.

He does not have a 3D printer. I know there are websites that can do 3D prints for you. Do you know any?

One more thing make sure that your sata power is plugged into your ssd and power supply if it is modular or simi-modular.

The problem might be the SSD or the motherboard sata port. Try a different sata port and if that does not work it might be your ssd.

My friend has an extra Ryzen 5 3600 that I am buying off him. The only problem is that he needs to mail it to me and he threw away the cpu holder on accident. Does anybody know if you can contact AMD or buy a new cpu colder of Amazon or something? I all ready tried to find one but I could only find am4 back plates.

Checked a psu calculator and it recommended a 650 watt gold rated psu. Thanks.

I need help on choosing what wattage and efficiency I need for a system I am building. I am going to have a Ryzen 5 3600 overclocked to 4.2 Ghz and a overclocked RTX 3070. I know the 3070 has not come out yet but i'm sure a educated guess can get close to the wattage that this card will pull. The only restriction that I have is it needs to be a SFX or SFX-L PSU with a max width of 130mm.

I don't know where you got the NR400's pricing but it is around $60. So if you want to go with value go with the NR400. The real difference between the two is that the fractal one looks better and has fan filters for all intakes. But you can just buy some 280mm mesh filters for the NR400 for around $10 like this one form amazon https://www.amazon.com/287mm-Filter-Computer-Magnetic-2-Pack/dp/B07T615HB6. It's up to you.

I am looking in making a system in the Cooler Master NR200 and I know that it can fit a Sfx power supply. But I also want to know if it can fit a Sfx-L psu. Any insight will help thanks.

I am looking at making an itx system and I want to to be mostly white. I am looking for a 500 series board. From what I have looked at there are not any but who knows. Thank you.

For the motherboard I want to spend no more than $200 USD. The only limitation that I have is that I need them to have onboard wifi.

I have narrowed it down to two motherboards. The Asus TUF X570 Gaming Plus and the Gigabyte Aorus Elite. The only differences that I can see are that the Gigabyte one looks better and the Asus one has one more fan header. They are the same price (189usd) and I am not sure witch one has the better vrm (im using a 3700x). If you want to suggest another motherboard am open to any suggestions.

For a double compartment system I would go for the Corsair Crystal Series 680X. It does have RGB fans but im sure that you can change them.

The airflow comes from the bottom and the top.

I would recommend the Lian Li PC-011 or the PC-011 XL just depending on what you need.

I am in a little bit of a kerfuffle. I want to buy a 3070 don't care if its a founders or custom, but after the 3080 launch I don't know if I am even going to be able to buy one. I live next to a micro center so I can go and sit outside of it the night before but I am sure with the popularity of this card many other people in my area will have the same idea. I have a couple of options one, I wait out side of the store to try and get one. Two I can wait the extra couple weeks or so for Nvidia to properly get stock into online stores. Three I can buy a 2080 ti used for about the same price as a 3070. I really want to get it soon because I only have a 5 year old xbox rn and I really want to get it before the Cold War beta. Help.

That is a good build but one thing is you do not need a NH-D15 for a 2600x. Go with a hyper 212 evo or the 15's little bro the NH-U12s in the Cromax black variant. Other than that this is a very good build.
