Budget (including currency): 2000€ (Not really important) Country: Germany Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Exclusively for gaming. Mostly CSGO/CS2 at highest FPS possible but also the latest singleplayer games (Starfield, Phantom Liberty, Hogwarts Legacy etc.) at 1440p. Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): I am building the PC only, I already have all the peripherals including a 1080p 240Hz esports monitor and a 1440p 165Hz monitor. Planning to buy within 2/3 weeks. Waiting for October 10th as there is an Amazon prime day then. I don't care about Aesthetics at all. Smaller is better but thermals and performance come first. I prefer air-cooling. This is the current build I have in mind: PCPartPicker Part List: https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/DkRW34 CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D 4.2 GHz 8-Core Processor (€393.99 @ Mindfactory) CPU Cooler: Deepcool AK620 68.99 CFM CPU Cooler (€73.51 @ Amazon Deutschland) Motherboard: Gigabyte B650 GAMING X AX ATX AM5 Motherboard (€177.90 @ Alza) Memory: Corsair Vengeance 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6000 CL30 Memory (€109.99 @ Galaxus) Storage: Samsung 980 Pro 2 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive (€128.99 @ Amazon Deutschland) Video Card: XFX Speedster MERC 319 Black Radeon RX 7800 XT 16 GB Video Card (€599.00 @ Amazon Deutschland) Case: Fractal Design Torrent Compact ATX Mid Tower Case (€138.15 @ Galaxus) Power Supply: Corsair RM1000e (2023) 1000 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply (€134.90 @ Amazon Deutschland) Case Fan: ARCTIC P14 PST 72.8 CFM 140 mm Fan (€6.62 @ Aquatuning) Total: €1763.05 Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available I have been planning to build a PC for the last 6 or so months and have changed my mind about what to get A LOT. Originally I was going to build something in the much higher end range of things. (I actually impulse bought a 4090 a few months ago but ended canceling my purchase.) But after not having a PC for over a year now, I've found I don't have that much time for gaming these days anyways and spending 3000€ on a new PC seemed kind of stupid even though I could afford it. I'm still struggling to decide between getting the 7800 XT or the 7900 XTX. I don't know if it's worth paying 400€ more for the 7900 XTX. Is the 7800 XT powerful enough for my needs? (latest games @ 1440p high, no RT) Is the 7900 XTX a better choice for the long run? I've heard future proofing is stupid. As for the rest of the build. some parts I am unsure on are: Motherboard: prices for AM5 boards vary wildly and I no nothing about them so IDK if this is a good board to get or not Case: Are there any better cases around the 100-150€ range that I should consider instead? Power supply: These tend to have long warranties so I want to get something that will last me an upgrade or 2. Is what have a good option? Are there better options to consider instead. Fans: Should I get a 5 pack or will 1 exit fan be enough? Should I try to future-proof more? Feel free to suggest parts for any other categories or let me know if I'm missing anything. All suggestions, feedback and advice are appreciated!

I got a pretty basic AIO that I wanted to add to this case. I didn't realize that there is only one vent slot in the top of the case. Would it be a bad idea to install the rad in the top spot? I wasn't really having heat issues, just noise. I don't game very often on this rig. If Yes, should I install two fans or just the one? IMG_0715.heic

Hi everyone, I'm relatively inexperienced when it comes to PC gaming - I just made the switch to PC in 2020 after being a lifelong Mac user and console gamer. It's been a lot of fun, but my Alienware Aurora R11 - purchased because I knew I didn't have the wherewithal to build my own at the time - is starting to show its age and its limitations, especially when loading up a game or when trying to do multiple things at once, like playing a game on poor settings and watching a show on Peacock on my other screen (ADHD is super fun!). I recently decided to switch my gaming back over to a PS5 because the performance quality of my PC was becoming too much to handle and was starting to affect my ability to play in multiplayer games where reaction times and things like that are very important, and I was experiencing a much more consistent performance output from my PlayStation. I'm at a place where I can start looking to upgrade or replace things, or even just start fresh on a new system (maybe try building one? but eh), but I don't know where to begin to even assess what it is that I have at the moment to understand and learn why what is happening is happening, and why I would need to replace or upgrade something. What's affecting performance, what's OK for what it is, etc. I don't just want to be one of those "computer old, buy new" people, I want to learn, because I really enjoy gaming on my PC and having a lot more control over my experience. My question is this: what would be the best method to assess what I have and what my needs are for the games I play? For assessing what I have, a specific software or program recommendation would be helpful, if that's something I'd need. Again, I'm working with a pre-built system, so I'd be nervous about going in to try to upgrade anything in it, but I'm open to it if something simple would be a quality of life change for me. If it really is just time for me to say "pre-built bad," then so be it. I thought I'd come to the experts first! Any tips or help in general is super appreciated.

Hi Everybody! Well, I joined up. Finally. So I'll admit that I'm rather naive towards forums in General. I guess Reddit is my best personal reference when it comes down to forums. Point is, I decided to sign up as a way of showing some support, insight and mostly just because I want to be apart of the LTT community and such. I've managed to set up my profile with ease as it's pretty straight - forward. I'm trying to whether or not one can have a personalized feed and such. I've been trying to follow various topics and such and would like to try navigate through them in a more relevant time and relevant, present time topics. Does anyone feel the need to perhaps tell/show if and how to set up a personalized feed?

I'm working on upgrading my computer and I usually play video games on it but I use it also used for school work. I've been having issues with my current graphics card recently (MSI GTX 1650 Super) and have decided to just upgrade it. I have been looking at getting a 6750 XT but its a 4.0 PCI-E and the B450 GPCA supports 3.0, I wanted to know if I would be able to use a PCIE 4.0 graphics card with the current motherboard until I get a new motherboard. I also would like to know if the 6750xt is a good idea to get or if their are better options for price to performance. I am running a B450 gaming pro carbon ac, Ryzen 7 5800x, with a 1650 Super and corsair vengeance LPX ram.

Hey guys! I wanted to upgrade my system by slapping an SSD in it and decided to check Asrock's support list. My motherboard is an ASRock B660M-HDV, and here is the list of supported SSDs. I noticed an inconsistency between the two lists Asrock has. Basically "Hyper M.2 SSD (CPU)" slot seems to support some SSDs while "Ultra M.2_SSD Module" slot seems to support some others. But why is that? And should I even care? I'm looking for a boot SSD around 500GB or 1TB tops, and I'm cheap. Should I interpret the vendor's support list as a list of drives "tested and guaranteed to work, but others may work as well - just don't come cry to us if they don't" or as a definitive "These and ONLY these drives will work on this motherboard"?

I have ample cooling. The OC I have now is 40 degrees below cap under load. Im using XTU and cant seem to get this stable above the point i have it rn. All core 5.1ghz Core voltage mode is on adaptive, Core voltage 1.4v No core offset AVX2 Ratio Offset 1.0X (avx2 benchmark causes bsod with this) Turbo Boost Power Time Window 1 second. (keeps changing to 51 for some reason though.) No Intel Thermal Velocity Boost Stock CPU cache settings. It seems stable yet unstable at the same time and i have no idea why. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. If any more info is needed I can supply Just want to get the absolute max performance out of this cpu. I have no power or thermal limitations (as of the moment.) I want to *try* and hit 5.5 all core stable. but if that isn't as realistic as I've read online, any boost helps

Hi Guys, i am interested in modding my Logitech G610 but i am not sure what parts i can pick seeing as i am pretty new to this and have never modded a keyboard before! So currently i have cherry mx reds but i want to switch to Gateron Pro Milky Yellows. Would there be any issues or can i just directly solder them to the pcb? Gateron Pro Milky Yellow Switch | Candykeys I would also like to add white LEDs. I think they should fit but please correct me if i am wrong! LED 2x3x4mm | Candykeys As for the new Keycaps i have decided go for the following set: Double-Shot PBT Cherry Profile Full Set Keycaps - Grey, White and Blue (keychron.de) In the description it mentions that there minor interferences with north facing LEDs, which i why i mentioned them above. Would that still work for me? Sorry if these are stupid questions but it's wanted to make sure that everything will work and that i don't totally destroy the keyboard!

I have a concerning thing with a truenas scale server that is shutting down kinda randomly, and as a band aid fix I was hoping to use a pi zero w to short the pwr switch pins to turn it back on. BingGPT has been helpful and this is the code I have so far (I do not know how to code lol): import os import RPi.GPIO as GPIO import time import datetime GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM) GPIO.setup(18, GPIO.OUT) last_time = datetime.datetime.now() was_offline = False while True: response = os.system("ping -c 1 192.168.0.127") if response == 0: if was_offline: with open('log.txt', 'a') as f: f.write(f'{datetime.datetime.now()} - Device is back online\n') was_offline = False time.sleep(30) else: print('Device is offline') current_time = datetime.datetime.now() if (current_time - last_time).seconds >= 30: GPIO.output(18, GPIO.HIGH) with open('log.txt', 'a') as f: f.write(f'{datetime.datetime.now()} - Device is offline\n') time.sleep(2) GPIO.output(18, GPIO.LOW) last_time = current_time was_offline = True It works great, logs correctly, and does indeed hold the gpio pins turning on an led for testing. But I realized this is applying a voltage, and I intended to replace the LED with leads to the power switch, is that an issue applying a voltage there? And if so, how would I go about it, I saw something in a forum post about using a transistor, I currently have 2 2N3904 NPN transistors from a soldering starter project I did when I was younger, if those would work. If that is horrid I would very much appreciate a correction and guidance lol. Also not sure about the length of time needed, if 2 seconds is fine or 1 second, it works for testing but I dont want to fry anything. Thanks so much for any replies

I've read the manual but I don't quite understand where to plug in the USB3.1 that came with the Phanteks Eclipse P600s case. The mobo I'm using is the B660 GAMING X AX DDR4. Heres the link to the manual mb_manual_b660-gaming-x-series_e_1001.pdf (gigabyte.com) Would appreciate if you can tell me if page 14 is the answer to my situation since I'm unsure.

Budget (including currency): $1200 USD or less Country: USA Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Half Life Alyx and Rust. Other survival games Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): I’m helping build and financing part of a first gaming PC for my nephew who’s 13. I haven’t built a PC in over 15 years as I don’t PC game, but I’m his only “techie” resource. He’s into survival games and has an Occulus. I’ve posted on here a few times and been directed toward a i5 12th gen, but I watched Linus’ video today and he mentioned that the best thing going in what is the current budget (note, he probably has $300-400 to contribute and I started out only spending a couple of hundred and now the budget has gone through the roof so to speak) is the Ryzen 7 5800X3D. With an AM4 board and 16Gb of Ram. I’ve already purchased some components in anticipation of the i5 direction, but think I can repurpose if we change course. I’ve bought: - Phanteks Eclipse P300A Case - 32 Gb of Corsair Vengeance DDR4 3200 RAM - Noctua NH-U95 Chromax Black 92mm CPU cooler with a mount Kit for LGA1700 - EVGA Supernova 750 P5 80 Plus Platinum 750w PSU - Seagate Barricuda 2TB internal SATA 3.5” HDD - Samsung 960 EVO 500 GB M.2 SSD boot drive - Windows 11 Pro I was planning to let him buy an i5 12400F with an ASUS Prime B660M-A motherboard or an i5 12600K or KF with an ASRROCK Z690 Extreme motherboard depending on how much birthday money he gets and I was still planning to buy case fans and most importantly the GPU. I was looking at the PowerColor HellHound RX6700XT as I wanted to stay right at or under $400. Now I’m not sure. Is it a huge jump up in performance and would it be worth it to move the build to the Ryzen 7 5700X3D and if so, what motherboard should he get understanding that I want to have good support for RGB because that’s important to him (lol) and WiFi 6 on board, but since he’ll be spending considerably more on the CPU, I will likely have to buy the motherboard so I want the most bang for the buck and as inexpensive as possible meeting those requirements. Also, is that still a good GPU choice? Is there something better at that $400 mark? And, does anyone know if that CPU cooler will work for the Ryzen 7 5xxx series even if I have to buy a different mounting bracket? His parents don’t have much money and they’re already buying him a monitor so I can’t ask them to kick in more not to mention that they have zero technical skills and can so they have no idea what’s going on here AND my wife is already ready to kill me for spending so much as it is so any help you can give me would be great on planning. He’s a bit underprivileged and really smart taking STEM classes at a charter school in here in Texas. He also is realizing that he’s got an alternative sexuality which is making life in a rural Texas school more difficult. I really want him to be set for awhile and not have to worry about upgrading for several years, but also understand that my original plan was one of Linus’ $500 gaming PC builds so this budget has quickly gotten out of hand. Lol. TIA from a “techie”, but old school and out of the loop uncle!! This community has been awesome so far and I know I can count on you guys!!

So I got a huge case to build my gaming PC in. I bought it used with some damage, and bought new parts for it. Total I payed about 160 bucks. Corsair Obsidian 100D. Its a Freekin monster. Anyways. Im trying to figure out why i can mount a mini itx BEHIND my Atx. This mfer has room to cool like 3 full builds inside it, but ... like is it possible to build a mini and somehow use it to do processing for the main machine? Like a dasiy chain?. Look im new at this. I'm brand new and bought a case that weighs 60lbs empty. What a start . Mr gnome is here for emotional support.

Budget (including currency): 2,000$ - 2,500$ USD (Including tax and shipping) Country: America Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: New and upcoming games, 1440p, potentially 4k in the future at a minimum of 60fps and max graphical settings. I basically want to play everything for the next 5 years at max settings at 60fps minimum, would prefer 144fps if possible. Video games and Twitch / youtube. Dual monitor setup. Other details: No existing parts, no peripherals needed, upgrading from an Alienware R8 i7 9700k, GTX 1070TI, 256GB SSD, 16GB Ram. I plan to buy as soon as possible, I need the PC before next month. 1440p 144HZ, would like 4k in the future with a minimum of 60fps. ((I would like an AMD GPU, as my recently returned computer parts included a free game that can only be activated with an AMD card.)) I recently tried building my own PC, after spending about 2 weeks researching and watching videos, as well as asking for help on Discord from PC building servers. After having my build revised by multiple people and given the greenlight, I purchased all my parts and was extremely excited for them to arrive. Upon arrival, I instantly started building, following the 'Ultimate' linus tech build video, things were difficult but progressing slowly. I managed to get the CPU, RAM, SSD, Motherboard and AIO installed. However, when it came time to put the GPU in, it simply wouldn't fit inside the case with the sag bracket. Extremely disappointed, stressed and dismayed, I began to disassemble everything, While disassembling I noticed my AIO was also incorrectly installed as it wasn't making proper contact with the CPU. I thought refunding everything was the best course of action, so that's what I did. This is a rough draft of a new build I tried making, https://pcpartpicker.com/list/k7gxpH. When I asked on Discord, they said I should change the Motherboard for something much cheaper and the storage device. I was told that the I5 13600K might not be good as the LGA1700 motherboard will be "dead" this year. I'm open to switching to an AMD CPU if it's beneficial. I was also told the CPU cooler isn't good and that I should get a 40$ Thermal assassin air cooler. I would like to keep the case if possible or maybe swap it for an NZXT H7 flow, I would also like an AMD GPU. I'm very clearly out of my depth and at my wits end. I would appreciate if anybody could advise me on quality parts that are worth buying and will be 'future proof', not needing to upgraded in the next 2 or 3 years. I don't really care about AMD or Nvidia, whatever is the best value for price. I would also like to try and keep it one theme color, black, I don't want or care about RGBs. If the PC could run dead silent and boot fast / fast loading game screens, that would be fantastic as well. Thank you for reading.

Hey! I just finished my latest build with a corsair 7000D case, its a huge case! I usually build small computers and I would just put any Noctua fans that fits. I can understand that this is not the right mindset but I find it confusing when I look into it. So, what I want to do is 4 120mm fans in the front, 3 140mm fans on top and 1 140mm in the back for exhaust, I also have 2 140mm on my CPU cooler pushing air thoughts the cooler to the back of the case. ( Noctua NH-D15). First question would be, is this a good configuration? My second question is what type of fans should I get?! Noctua got so many different fans, I want them relatively quiet and to last for a long time. ( what I understood is that magnetic fails the least?) It hurt my head when I try to find the best one for me... thank you!

Hey, recent 1st time build and I am confused. Pretty sure I did something wrong. Computer Specs: CPU: Ryzen 7950x Motherboard: ASUS ROG Strix B650-A RAM: Corsair Dominator DDR5 2x32 64GB total GPU: ASUS TUF Gaming AMD Radeon™ RX 6800 XT OC Edition SSD: Corsair MP600 PRO LPX 1TB M.2 NVMe PCIe x4 Gen4 Cooling: Corsair IO w/ 3 fans & 6 additional case fans. When i get to the Bios regardless of messing with overclocking or not, it tells me the DRAM speed is sitting at 4800 mhz. It recognizes the 6000 is installed but I never get that under the status. What am I missing? My thought is that the motherboard can only handle 4800 mhz of speed across it, but when I re-read the specs of the motherboard it would appear that it can handle the 6000 mhz. But I also feel like I am reading something wrong, or misinterpreting something. Can someone explain this to me like I'm 5. Motherboard Specs: ROG STRIX B650-A GAMING WIFI | ROG STRIX B650-A GAMING WIFI | Gaming Motherboards|ROG - Republic of Gamers|ROG Global (asus.com)

I am out looking for a new laptop. What I found? Both are ryzen 5 4600H, same 8gigs of ram, different storage configs. One with 1650ti, and later with 1650 Legion 5 | 60K INR, 830 USD Ideapad 3 | 66K INR, 900 USD And then there is AUSU TUF FX 505 DT It has a ryzen 7 3750H. And it is 60K INR, 830 USD. What I found while looking for these laptops reviews? Legion 5 is awesome (It has short circuit video), ideapad is awesome (Other channels), ASUS is having bad impressions. Is the ASUS worth it? What I am asking for is, is the ASUS really bad, I mean it has a ryzen 7 for less price. What do you guys say? Which one should I take, or do you have any other recommendations. I will leave this here for you. What am I going to do with it? Programming, development stuff. Android studio also. What is my budget ? Max is 75K INR, that is 1K USD. What am I looking for in laptop? It should run multiple browser tabs, 3-4 medium demand programs (Discord, slack and such), and an IDE. All at the same time. What hardware I have in mind? AMD ONLY. Ryzen 3 and above. Storage isn't an issue, more the better, less will do. But should be NVME sdd RAM should be 8gb <=. Screen size isn't a factor GPU should be Nvidia (want those CUDA cores) Let me know if you need more info.

First of all, sorry for my bad english and lack of knowledge about this so I will try to describe it in layman's terms. I am trying to connect router on already existing network that is ran trough the building. From 1 designated point in a wall LAN cable is going to my router but for some reason depending where other components are connected some devices are connected to internet some are not. Everything is connected via LAN cable so not sure if Access Point needs to be enabled. (Visual representation in attachment) Scenario A-> Laptop A is connected to internet but it's not connected to MINI PRO while Laptop B is connected to MINI PRO but doesn't have internet connection. Scenario B-> MINI PRO is connected to internet, Laptop A is connected to internet and to MINI PRO while Laptop B is connected only to MINI PRO. All components work cause if I use only 1 of the laptops and MINI PRO everything is nice and dandy. These 2 examples are only representation of my problem in other schemes problem kinda loops around like second Laptop B has access to internet and MINI PRO, first has neither, etc. I used different router as well and same thing happens, it also happened that it worked fine but didn't think it would come to this I didn't remember how I connected it the first time and also would like to understand what is the issue here. Thank you in advance.

Hi, TL;DR: Is it really necessary to ground a patchpanel or, if building a networking rack, the entire rack and why? I recently discovered that the supposed "telephone jacks" dotted around our house are actually wired with cat.6a cabling, all arriving in the attic and most sitting there unterminated. I would like to hook them all up to a switch, as to take advantage of our new fiber connection without having to always rely on WiFi. Since I have never done anything involving putting together hardware I spent quite some time researching what ist needed, and stumbled upon patch panels. Thus my idea is to terminate all these (8) wires into a patch panel in the attic and then use short patch cables to hook them up to a switch and maybe put both in a small 6U rack as a means of keeping things tidy. But during my research I have stumbled upon various internet forums (all in German, sorry) claiming that I need to ground the rack and all components within, lest I risk not only damaging my components but having life-threatening 240V on the outside. I can't help but wonder why this is supposed to be necessary though, because was under the impression, that all components are grounded via their respective plugs? I have also never noticed anybody saying this during home network upgrade videos (eg. here or here). But even if I didn't use the rack (this is after all going into the attic that serves only as a storage space), I noticed that even patch panels not designed for rackmounting seem to have some sort of grounding cable (see for example here). Is it necessary to connect that to anything in this sort of home network? And if it is - why? If I'd be terminating the cables into rj-45 and plugging them directly into the switch, I wouldn't be grounding anything either. So what is the difference? Thanks in advance!

Budget (including currency): $US 1200 willing to go to 1500 if need be Country: USA Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: HD gaming Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): all new from scratch. Don't need a monitor or keyboard an mouse just the pc its self. Not sure what is best to put in it so whatever any of u think would work best for a gaming PC. Thank u so much in advance if any of u can help me with this. *EDIT* Will do a pre build if anyone could show me some good ones. Alienware has some but they want almost $1700 for a pc that is not the basic build. But please let me know even of it is Alienware I'm open to ideas
