What kind of cooling best fits a "white out" themed build? Sub-zero, of course! And how exactly do you get sub-zero cooling? Well, the way that WE did it was through a phase change system... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4d0B0Dli-1g&feature=youtu.be I'm going to list out the components as well as provide a source or two for where you can get them I can't tell you where to buy this stuff, but I do lean towards NCIX for the Canadians (and International viewers if their pricing and shipping costs work out for you) because they're my bros, and for Americans, Brits, and a couple other regions, the Amazon links below are affiliate links, so of course every little bit helps CORE COMPONENTS CPU: Intel Core i7 4790K Unlocked Four Core Processor with HyperThreading NCIX: http://bit.ly/1FMxUfK Amazon: http://geni.us/afZ SSD: Intel 730 Series NCIX: http://bit.ly/1OoU5Nd Amazon: http://geni.us/30Cb Motherboard: ASUS Sabertooth Z97 Mark S NCIX: http://bit.ly/1IE3LTN Amazon: http://geni.us/1jhU Case: LD Cooling PC-V10 NCIX: http://bit.ly/1yhGMu7 Amazon: http://geni.us/1h06 LD Cooling: http://bit.ly/1O44X0Y Video Card: GALAX GTX 980 Hall of Fame NCIX: http://bit.ly/1yhGTFV Amazon: http://geni.us/3G59 GALAX: http://bit.ly/1GAWrHK RAM: 32GB HyperX Fury White NCIX: http://bit.ly/1GAWy5Z Amazon: http://geni.us/3Jym Power Supply: Corsair AX860i NCIX: http://bit.ly/1aFq2lE Amazon: http://geni.us/S0M Mouse: Corsair Sabre RGB NCIX: http://bit.ly/1CFWyu5 Amazon: http://geni.us/4EGi Keyboard: Corsair K70 RGB NCIX: http://bit.ly/1aFq5Oh Amazon: http://geni.us/2hLX Monitor (gaming): Acer XB270HU Bprz 27in WQHD G-SYNC IPS 144HZ LED Monitor NCIX: http://bit.ly/1z7Ih94 Amazon: http://geni.us/1Hqk Cooling Components CPU Heatsink: NCIX: http://bit.ly/1DznxfM Amazon: http://geni.us/1h06 LD Cooling: http://bit.ly/1O44X0Y Extra Fans: NCIX: http://bit.ly/1D8Lppg Amazon: http://geni.us/nvX -
Hello everyone After more than 6 years of buying my PC i decided to upgrade the storage. Currently i have 1TB hdd which has two partitions, C which contains the windows files and some applications, and G which has the rest of the data. I ordered 1TB of m.2 ssd and i was thinking of installing fresh windows on the ssd. So, i wanted to remove the hdd and insert the ssd to install the fresh windows on the ssd. Then, add the hdd back. Now the question is what happens to the data that was on the hdd, does it remain there and shows when i connect the hdd back, or is it removed? If it remains there, what happens to the partitions (C) which has the old windows files if the new ssd has the new C partition with the new windows? -
Hello, I just "upgraded" my PC to I think better specs but I'm not sure that's why I want to ask here (I generally don't know too much about building a Computer). I had previously built 2 x 8GB (3200 MHz) in my PC. But now I took "old" parts from my other PC and now I've installed additionally 1 x 16 (3000 MHz) and 1 x 8 (1200 MHz). The question now is, is it optimal? I now have 40 GB of RAM but I'm unsure how many MHz they are running. The task manager tells me it is 2133 MHz but I don't know if that's true or if that is even good. Thanks for the help already!

I'm hoping someone might know what's causing this. My computer has been having this issue where I can power it off but cannot power it back on without resetting my surge protector. I'm on this computer as I write this. It runs perfectly fine and there are no indications it's struggling for power or anything else is struggling peripherally. All fans are running, all lights work, nothing sounds or seems off about it at all. If I turn off the computer and try to turn it back on, it appears as though there's no power and the computer refuses to respond at all. I suspect the issue may be the surge protector as when I reset it, the issue corrects itself. I believe I have a number of power hungry items and this is resulting in the PC becoming sensitive to the power being consumed by the other items on the same surge protector. I have my PC I have two screens screens I have my Rodecaster Pro ii I have my internet routers I also have two peripherals attached to the computer (An Elgato Stream Deck and a Key Light) My Surge Protector is a - APC Surge Protector Power Strip with a 4320 Joule capacity. This in turn plugs into a TESSEN brand smart outlet box on my wall outlet. The plug the surge protector is connected to is not one of the smart outlets. Obviously, there can be something wrong with the computer as well but the fact this issue was tied to my surge protector makes me think it's external. I'm hoping someone can shed some light on what I can do or what tests I can run to rule out any bigger issues. If it does turn out it's a surge protector, is there a higher capacity one you can suggest which may help prevent this going forward? Edit: I unplugged my Rodecaster Pro ii and my entire system booted up. It's not the computer. It's a conflict with the power draw of the Rodecaster competing with my computer. -

First of all my specs: CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800x 8-Core Processor GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti (Drivers up to date) Motherboard: Gigabyte x570 Aorus Elite (Drivers up to date) RAM: VENGEANCE RGB PRO 32GB (16+16) PSU: EVGA GOLD 650 WATT (don't really remember the PSU I have, but remember this info) I'm reaching out for assistance with a persistent stuttering issue I've been experiencing primarily in Fortnite, although it's also noticeable in other games to a lesser extent. In Fortnite, these stutters are particularly troublesome, causing my frame rate to plummet from a steady 300 down to as low as 20-80 sporadically, before bouncing back up instantly. While the problem isn't as severe in other games, it still pops up from time to time. This stuttering problem has been a thorn in my side for quite some time now. Despite upgrading various components of my PC, including switching from an AMD Ryzen 5 5800x CPU and a GTX 1660 Super GPU, the issue persists. I even went as far as swapping out my motherboard, though that was primarily to ensure compatibility with the new CPU. I've diligently explored every troubleshooting avenue available online, tinkering with Windows registry settings and resorting to a complete factory reset in hopes of a resolution. Although there has been some marginal improvement, likely due to updates from Fortnite, the stutters remain an annoyance. I've tried various tweaks such as capping FPS with RTSS, overclocking my CPU to mitigate potential bottlenecks, and adjusting BIOS settings like NVIDIA resizable BAR—all without success. Even toggling RAM XMP settings hasn't provided a lasting solution, although I've opted to keep it enabled for improved RAM performance. At this point, I feel like I've exhausted all options short of building an entirely new PC from scratch. Given the frustration of experiencing stuttering on what many would consider a high-performance PC, any insights or suggestions would be immensely appreciated. I'm eager to restore smooth gaming experiences, especially in Fortnite, which has been marred by these persistent stutters. If you have any advice or solutions to offer, I'd be incredibly grateful. (Before someone asks, yes i did use chat GPT lol, needed to make the reason sound comprehendible as I tend to cramp everything into one place) if you have any further questions about my issue please let me know, thank you in advance -
Why cpu and other chips are always square/rectangular, and cpu wafer is in shape of circle ?why

I have selected some parts and created 2 separate builds Intel/AMD. I'm not sure which one i should go with in terms of price to performance. My brother whom helped me picking parts suggested i wait till next year February/January for new tech to come out, so that prices drop. Is now a good time to buy PC parts, or should i wait to find better deals? and should i go for intel or AMD? I was told that intel is more user friendly and AMD can sometimes have problems, where the user is needed to go into the computer setting to change stuff. I have peripherals such as a mouse, keyboard and headset. I would also like to be able to play games on a 1920 x 1080 monitor (which i will buy separately) at atleast 144hz. Any guidance will be appreciated

Valve claims that only 9.4% of current gaming rigs are ready for VR... but as that number is based on the results of the Steam Hardware Survey, we don't think that it paints an accurate picture of the proportion of gaming PCs that are ready for VR that people actually intend to use for VR gaming. So, being a part of this awesome forum community full of enthusiasts, we decided to see if we could paint a more accurate picture of the current state of the "VR for PC" market. If you plan on using your gaming PC for VR, please take part in this test. Run the SteamVR Performance Test that Valve currently has available (through steam, you can find it at this link), and once you have your results, please do the following: 1. Comment below listing the following specs of your PC: Rig name Cpu Gpu Ram Score 2. Add a screenshot of your SteamVR Performance Test results. 3. Answer the poll question in this thread. And that is all we need! Thanks so much for taking part in this fun little survey - let's see how many of you are truly ready for VR gaming! If you thought this was cool and want to take part in another fun survey that we have here on the forum, check out @Jumper118's Cinebench R15 thread here.

So I ordered myself a new CyberPowerPC (nothing super high end) for some casual gaming and for the most part, its been fine other than the INSAINE packet loss ive been getting since day one. What is odd about my case, is that ill have unplayable lag for a time, but on some "good days" Ill have very little noticeable packetloss. I essentially have to pray that my computer will let me play for that day without sending my ingame character 15 feet backwards every 3 seconds. This Packetloss doesn't just occur while in games, but using discord for instance, sending messages will take a significant amount of time one moment but will be quick and snappy some other times. I also don't think its based off of how many people are using the network, as the Packetloss seems to be entirely random. Also another thing to note is that my old Intel computer never had this sort of issue. Weird. I went in and used Ping Plotter, and of course see red bars to almost every IP Address. Im not quite sure what to make of it, other than there is packet loss.. Ill provide a screenshot below (Not sure of the IP addresses should be shown to the public, but if they are ill list them off.) VVV These bars are always changing, sometimes theres only one bar, sometimes theres other addresses with PL and sometimes like this its absolute mayhem. VVV

I've had this monitor for 2 years and at the time it was one of the fastest monitors out there. Now there is 500hz alienwares that are nearly the same price. (I got it for $500 in 2021 they still sell it but for only $300ish) Just want some advice.

I built a new computer a couple of months ago and it has been running perfectly fine until recently. I've tested to see if anything was overheating, but the max temp for my CPU was around 80C and my GPU was around 70C. I've updated all of my drivers and made sure my windows was up to date. I tested my memory to see if anything was faulty, but after running memtest86 everything looked fine. Reset my computer and ran bleachbit a bunch of times. I even made sure every cable was fully plugged in to my computer just in case something had gotten loose. I have tried just about everything I can think of but to no avail.
