Budget (including currency): 250€ ± 10% Country: Austria Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: gaming, music production Current System: Intel i5 6600k 16GB DDR4 RAM NVidia Geforce GTX 1070 1080p 144Hz Display Since upgrading to Counter Strike 2, my PC is not able to put out 144Hz anymore. I'm pretty sure I'm bottlenecked by my CPU hence I want to upgrade it. I also do music production and some light CAD work. I would like to sell the current CPU, cooler, RAM and motherboard as 1 combo because I think I will get more money this way (Is this actually true?). I upgraded my laptop to a AMD Ryzen 5 7640U a few months back and would love to also try AMDs desktop offerings, but if an Intel product would be much better I'm also open to that. I would like to have 1 16GB stick of RAM with the option of adding another one in the future. The only real requirement I have for the motherboard is a USB-C port for my Meta Quest 2. Cheers and thanks for any advice in advance!

Budget (including currency): $1,000 Country: US Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Minecraft, Overwatch, CS, Helldivers, Elden Ring, other random games that pop up. 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've had the same computer since around 2018. It's a prebuilt CyberPower. I'm open to a plethora of different ideas too, like if it would be better for the whole thing to be replaced, I'm willing to do so. The upgrade doesn't have to happen all at once either, I am willing to wait a while for prices or availability. CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 1600 Six-Core Processor 3.2GHz GPU: Radeon Rx 580 Series RAM: 32GB of TridentZ 1TB HDD PSU (I think): ATX 600W I have two monitors, both are 1920x1080, but one is 144hz and the other is 60hz.

Greetings, It has been six years since I last upgraded my PC, and I'm now seeking guidance as I'm somewhat out of touch. I'm looking to make my system more efficient in terms of cost while maximizing performance. I currently have a GTX 1660 Super GPU and plan to upgrade to a GTX 3060 Ti. For the CPU and motherboard, I'm seeking recommendations that are compatible with the GTX 3060 Ti and will minimize potential bottlenecking. You can throw in a new Casing too some budget remain unutilized.

I have a decent amount of budget (not super, a whole lot of cash). Currently, I have no plan on upgrading my CPU, R5 1600. My budget is $200. It is best if it is used for best value. I mainly want to upgrade for AI upscale stuff, and some gaming too. I don't play a dozen of contemporary games.

I planned on getting the 4080 Super and know it is very good at gaming. However, I would like to know how it performs when doing computer-aided design. I am currently using Solidworks, but I also want to start using other software. Also, I want to start using blender but I'm not concerned about running the 4080 with it. What are your thoughts on this matter, I haven't heard much about it but I know Solidworks has a certified GPU list and the 40 series isn't on that list. Also, I plan on upgrading my Power Supply with a Seasonic USA Focus V3 GX-850 850 Watt 80 Plus Gold ATX Fully Modular Power Supply. I've heard good things about them, if anyone have any other recommendations please let me know. Sorry my final note, I want to add a 4TB NVMe into my pc, I have a Samsung 1TB but are then any better companies like Crucial, WD or Seagate? Thank you!!

Current Problem: PC doesn't POST with new CPU in but everything works perfectly fine with the old CPU. This is despite having updated the BIOS, and having cleared the CMOS(Multiple times). Summary: The PC works completely 100% fine when the old CPU is in, but the moment I put a new compatible CPU in (did 2 so far) it refuses to POST. I did everything in: https://linustechtips.com/topic/42440-readme-how-to-respond-to-a-no-post-or-no-power-up-situation/ and still the issue persist. It can't POSSIBLY be 2 brand new CPUs being DEAD on arrival could it?! Details: I flashed version 5.2 of the BIOS to the motherboard, booted with my old pc, verified that it is indeed the version, then shut everything down and put the new CPU, the Ryzen 9 5900X, which should work fine on it. However when I turn the PC on it doesn't post it just stays on with fans and leds going forever with no display. I tried different RAM sets, both of which work with the old CPU but neither work with the new. Had 1 stick of ram on each slot, I did that with each RAM in both slots. Disconnected everything, only had the 1 HDMI plugged to the GFX card to a screen and no signal. I know very little about BIOS settings but I don't think those would matter since I cleared the CMOS and we're talking about a brand new CPU.The motherboard & original CPU is from an old Origin PC that a friend of mine gave me when they were upgrading their PC. I don't know if that matters but at this point I am grasping at straws. I would absolutely appreciate any help, thank you. If you need more info feel free to ask and I'll answer as soon as I can and add the info here with an edit. Specs: OS: Kinda corrupted Windows 11(x64).. but it doesn't post so it can't be the source of the issue! WORKING CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2600X 3.6 GHz 6-Core Processor New NOT POSTING CPU(s): Brand New AMD Ryzen 9 5900X 3.7 GHz 12-Core Processor (& bonus CPU that I also tried and didn't work: Brand New AMD Ryzen 7 3800X 3.9 GHz 8-Core Processor) Mobo: ASRock Fatal1ty X470 Gaming-ITX/ac Mini ITX AM4 Motherboard (Url to the specs and the documents on it: https://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/Fatal1ty x470 Gaming-ITXac/index.asp#Support ) RAM: TEAMGROUP T-Force Vulcan Z 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3600 CL18 Memory (Additionally tested with another set of 2x 8GB DDR4-3200 RIPJAWS) PSU: Corsair RM750e (2023) 750 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply (Known working, brand new) GFX Card: Gigabyte GAMING OC Radeon RX 5700 XT 8 GB Video Card

want to make an upgrade for my partner’s PC for as cheap as possible. What would be worth doing while saving for a full build overhaul, or is it even worth swapping any of the parts? Current Parts: CPU: i5-9400F GPU: GTX 1660 TI 6GB CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO (plan to keep this) RAM: 2x8GB (unsure of the exact model/speeds) PSU: EVGA Supernova 450 GM I was thinking of maybe finding a good deal on a used i5-9600K/KF or a i7-9700K/KF (only if the 450W PSU is sufficient for the extra 30W TDP rating for the 9700K). not sure if a GPU upgrade would be possible considering the smaller PSU in this build, but I’m open to suggestions if it seems worth while. is it even worth investing in a small upgrade like this? Will there be a noticeable difference in a game like Baldurs Gate 3? Budget (including currency): as cheap as possible (USD) Country: US Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Games: Baldurs Gate 3, League, Sims, and story based games like Detroit: Become Human Other details currently using a 1080p 75hz monitor Thank you in advance!!

Budget (including currency): 750 Euro Country: Finland Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Minecraft, BeamNG.Drive, VALORANT and maybe other games occasionally but mainly those 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): PC rn: Ryzen 5 3600X @ 4.2ghz, AMD Radeon RX 5700 8GB @ 1850mhz core and 1800mhz vram, 16gb g.skill ripjaws V 3200mhz cl16 @ 3600mhz cl16, NZXT C850 GOLD (Seasonic OEM). my peripherals are good enough for gaming right now and im probably buying around summer and my monitor resolutions are main: 2560x1080 and secondary: 1920x1200, both are 60hz (i really want a new monitor but the cheapest with the specs i require is 500€ bruh). The 2 different upgrades to my pc which i have pretty much narrowed to are: 1: Ryzen 5 5600 DeepCool CC560 (cuz my case is really really bad) AMD Radeon RX 7700XT sapphire pure gaming oc 12gb 2: Ryzen 7 5800X3D NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060Ti asus dual oc 8GB im thinking the 2 is better because the gpu is only slightly slower but the cpu would probably make back the small fps drop and give me 2c4t more (??????)

Budget (including currency): I'll save up until I can buy the recommendation. Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Mostly competitive games, and working on React Other details My current computer specs: My computer cannot hit 180fps consistently on both Valorant (average 160fps on any settings) and CS2 (average 102fps on Medium and High, 1280x1024). Also, Euro Truck Simulator 2 gets 100fps on High settings. Should I try doing a fresh install to remove unnecessary apps? I upgraded my HDD to an M.2 SSD and I cloned the drive.

The title isn't click bait (unfortunately). I sold my EVGA 3080ti to a coworker recently. He's had it for about a week and a half. It's been running without any problems until last night. He said around midnight he woke up "the card literally started screaming, woke up everyone in the house, louder than any TV I've ever had at full blast". I have never heard of this happening. I'm not sure if he might have had a power surge that freaked out his system, or if it's something else entirely different. He said he restarted the computer and it's no longer doing it. I'm at a loss though on whether it could actually be the GPU doing it or something else. The warranty on the card is still good until June at least. I'd appreciate some help in troubleshooting or where to go from here to figure out the cause. I don't want to send the card into EVGA if it isn't the card doing it.

Looking to upgrade my phone to samsung. Should I get the s23u over the s24u? s23u is around 330usd cheaper in my region. Or is the s24u worth the extra? I don't really care about all the new ai features added anyways.

I currently have a 3200G with A320M and the current bios ver is 7.00 should I upgrade the bios to 7.10 and then to 7.20 or can I just skip straight to 7.20 (or is there a better stable ver?). I'm kinda scared to update cause I saw some forums on Reddit and other websites of people having problems with their 5600X on A320M and problems from 3200G to gen 5 ryzen I just wanna know whether it's safe or not, Should I wait on the 5600X to arrive first then update it to 7.20 with 3200G?

Budget (including currency): 5k-10k Sek/500-1k euro Country: Sweden Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Gaming. let's say star citizen/squadron 42, oh and maybe run starfield at a more decent frame rate. plus a bunch off upcoming releases (HW3) Other details: Hello everyone. First time poster here, but have been following LTT for some time. In short my current build, now 4 years and a bit old, while still perfectly viable Is starting to be at least in my mind a bit out of date. There seems to be two paths for me at this point. Do a new build Or upgrade GPU and optionally CPU This is my current build And with that out of the way, my current plan is to go with option 2, as in new GPU and/or CPU GPU is straightforward in my mind, thinking a Sapphire Radeon RX 7800 XT or similar, Sapphire brand has been mostly stable for me in the past Plus if I decide to get a new MB later this is transferable And now the biggest reason for me starting this thread, the CPU. thinking Ryzen 7 5800X or 3D variant. Given that my current MB is an AM4 socket that seems the best option, but it's also almost an obsolete one. And my reason for thinking it might be better to look at building a new one entirely. What I looking for from the readers of this is. Is an upgrade as I've written viable or should i look at different components? if i ultimately go with the Ryzen 7 5800X3D what air cooler would you recommend Is a completely new build a better option? Or am I just thinking too much (or not enough) and my build could work fine for another year or two. Thanks for your time

So as i said in the title I'm about to do an upgrade on my PC but i only have an XFX XTR 550w Gold PSU (Was "Tier A" when i bought it like 4-5 Years ago not sure about now). Current specs are listed here (CPU-Z: https://valid.x86.fr/lh33b9) but in summary i have Undervolted and Overclocked the following parts. CPU(5600X) GPU(1070TI EVGA Ultra Silent FTW) RAM(2x8GB Trident Z DDR4 3600MHz cl18) If you need more details just let me know. So question is should i buy first a GPU(Probably Used one) and after 2-3 months a PSU or the other way around? I'm thinking about buying a 3070/ti/super (Which ever is around 300euro at the time) I've checked on PSU Calculator and all my parts(Overclocked) with a 3070 at 100% TDP is around 450W which means i have a headroom of 100W. Preferably i would like the GPU first but i can get the PSU and wait 1-2 months if that makes things right. Is it too much for my PSU to handle? Should I undo all the overclock and keep the undervolt in order to have more headroom if i get the GPU first? If you have any other GPU in mind feel free to let me know.

So I've gotten my gaming laptop and I'm will to upgrade my RAM. Currently I have a 8 GB RAM which is single channel RAM that came from manfacture. But my main question is: Does that 8GB RAM slot hold OS or can I change the 8GB ram to x2 16GB Ram (32GB RAM - Dual Channel) ^ As I don't want to risk me losing my OS if that's the case. RAM Specs: DDR4, 3200mhz So pretty much I went on the Crucial Online Store to Scan my system to see what my system is compatible with for RAM and SSD Sata Drive. This what it came up with after the scan: ^ I know that from normal SSD that comes with laptop (512 GB) you loss OS. Crucial 32GB Kit (2x16GB) DDR4-3200 SODIMM Crucial MX500 2TB 3D NAND SATA 2.5-inch 7mm (with 9.5mm adapter) Internal SSD From the screenshot. I have a SAMSUNG RAM but according to a different forum MSI notebooks could fail on you based on using diffrenet type of manfacuture and latency. So I got recommended in downloading "CPU-Z". Also since I'm changing it the RAM myself and add the Sata SSD Drive myself. I found a cheap tool kit: Sharden Kit (Tool Open kit)

Hey! The situation is that I got a new computer in 2018 - after all, it's been a while, which means that I naturally start looking at what a possible upgrade should look like. To put it mildly, I'm not on the beat anymore when it comes to hardware - which is why I feel like I need some help. I am based in Denmark. My current setup is as follows: CPU: INTEL Core i7-9700K 3.60GHz GPU: ASUS GeForce RTX 2070 ROG STRIX OC RAM: CORSAIR 16GB RAMKit 2x8GB DDR4 2666MHz Motherboard: ASUS ROG STRIX Z390-H GAMING PSU: CORSAIR HX850i 750W 2x 27" monitors running 2560 x 1440 at 144 Hz The part of my daily use of the computer that probably makes the greatest demands is, of course, games. Here, there are probably quite a few games that fall under the AAA category - I have to admit that I do like it when the graphics look good! The last few games I've played are: Enshrouded Baldur's Gate 3 Anno 1800 STAR WARS Jedi: Survivor Ready or Not Hell Let Loose and of upcoming games I expect to play, can be mentioned, among other things: Dragon's Dogma 2 Manor Lords S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 Frostpunk 2 Budget-wise I have no expectation of having to end up with the best of the best, but more of an insight into whether there could be some upgrades that would be obvious to do in terms of future-proofing my computer. I am very much looking forward to your help!

i have a gaming laptop, Xpg i7 9th gen, 1660 ti, atlas 157Q I recently went to tech shop and had them change thermal paste and install 8gb ram. However the guys were amateur and didn't know much, regardless the RAM and paste was installed . However ever since that i have been experiencing Extreme stutter in my games. ALL of them even those which didn't have any stutter and were really smooth. I have updated any and all drivers, BIOS everything i could, i have used ddu to uninstall amd reinstall gpu driver . Everything has failed. Games played well in beginning but then start to stutter ALOT. Any help cz this is really stressing me out now. I want to reiterate, i used to get good fps and no stutter in these games. Issue only arose after i went there. Gpu usage 100% cpu varies. Things i have tried aside from updated: I removed new ram and realised the guys had flipped the rams in slot. I put the old ram in its original slot and The games improved but after some time they started to stutter again Reinstalled RAM in another slot again same result, first no stutter then new stutter. One thing i have noticed, is before ram upgrade i used to get lag in normal usage too. I.e 70+ % ram usage meaning laptop had slowed down , but after upgrade this issue was fixed but gaming came up. Any help?

Budget: <1000€ Country: Germany I'm currently running an Arch Linux setup and my old GTX 970 has finally earned some rest. My budget is under 1000€, and I'd love some advice on upgrading to a new GPU. Here are my current specs: CPU: X99 Intel® Core™ i7-5820K CPU @ 3.30GHz Motherboard: PCIe 3.0 compatible (I don't have the model number at hand) Power Supply: be quiet! 750 W 80PLUS Platinum BN307 RAM: HyperX Fury HX430C16FB4K2/32 (2x16GB) 3000MHz DDR4 CL16 DIMM While my CPU and motherboard might be a bit dated, I plan on upgrading the entire system in the next 1-2 years. For now, I'm focusing on a GPU that can seamlessly integrate with my Linux setup, enhance gaming performance, and handle some Stable Diffusion and LLM tasks. Specifically, I'm seeking advice on Future-Proofing and PCIe. Considering my motherboard is PCIe 3.0, I'm looking for a GPU that can handle this without to much performance loss while providing a decent level of future-proofing for my upcoming system upgrade. I can submit any additional information about my setup if needed.

Is going above 50 watts just okay? I saw this video by a nerd on a budget showing that he bought a used Dell Optiplex with a 240-watt PSU and an I7 6700. And he upgraded it with another stick of RAM, making it 16GB overall, and bought a 1650 Super with a SATA to 6-pin adapter. When I calculated the recommended PSU on the Cooler Master website, it stated that I needed 260+ watts for that system. And on that website, it just calculated that the CPU was 65 watts TDP, and I saw in an article that an I7 6700 can go at 100 watts, making the situation much worse. Pic from https://tekeverything.com/i7-7700-review-benchmarks/ My question is, is this safe??? because I have a Dell Inspiron 3668 lying around (with the same 240 watt power supply) and recently I upgraded it to a 16 GB RAM, GTX 1050TI (no 6 pin), but it has only I3 7100, and I am planning to upgrade it to I7 7700 and mainly use it for Video Editing. My Dell Inspiron 3668 taken yesterday

Country: Canada Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: All games and any future games I hope. Streaming. Other details https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/user/TwoNinjas/saved/7CvjWZ So I have been flip flopping on which CPU to buy for DDR5 so I would like some advice on the pros and cons of both. I have a lot of trouble on comparing the cpus and the price/value. I have an AMD processor already listed in my parts list but the Intel cpu I was thinking was a i9-12700k. I At the moment in this build I already have the GPU and the Case from my previous PC. I will be buying the parts on sale and one or two at a time. If you think there is anyway I can save on the build that would keep the DDR5 speeds be awesome.

I got the PC looked at and the GPU checked out to no resolution. Therefore I'm looking to upgrade. Various sources I've spoken to recommend a 40 series GPU specifically the 4070/4070 Super due to its performance, price, and age. I like the look of them too as it'll last me for another 5 or so years GPU-wise. I have done multiple checks for compatibility and the two concerns I have are: A - will my older components bottleneck and/or cause underperformance? (3.0 PCIe slots, Old gen CPU, outdated RAM etc). B - What else should I look to upgrade afterward? If you have any comments/recommendations/help regarding my plan I would appreciate any help.
