Hey ya'll I recently picked up a used i7-8086k to replace my i5-9400f and when I put in the 8086k all the fans and lights would turn on for about 15 second but then switches off for a couple seconds turns on again and does this loop. I haven't been able to get it to post. When I switch back to the i5-9400f it works fine. I've cleared the bios and upgraded the PSU. Any help would be great, I was wondering if maybe a bios update would fix it but I'm not too sure thanks! Other Specs: MB- asrock b360m IB-R1 PSU- EVGA 1300w gold CPU Cooler- Noctua NH-U12A GPU- MSI GTX1660 Ram- 32gb 8gbx4 Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro

Im planning to upgrade my rig since the mobo died(from a lightning). And now i do a lot of editing(premier pro and lightroom). So planning to upgrade it for better productivity. my current rig is: Intel Xeon E3-1230V3 Kingston 8gb (value stick) Asrock Fatal1ty H87 Performance Seasonic S12II 620W Silver Stone AR02 Asus GTX770 Direct CU II OC And im planning to upgrade the cpu(mobo and ram included) first and reuse the other parts(GPU, PSU, casing, ssd and hdd). Should i get Ryzen 7 1700 or i7 8700? and which mobo n ram should be the best. From Malaysia with a budget around 700USD more or less.

Ideally I would like to spend less money if I can... https://pcpartpicker.com/user/starcaptainSI/saved/HCfTBm

Hi folks. I'm looking to buy a U shaped computer desk but don't want to go all out on a Forma-space custom job if I don't have too. Looking for reputable brands, durable. ESD safe if possible, want to stay away from the el cheapo Formica. have been looking on Amazon, Newegg, Overstock Wayfair etc and just not seeing anything that fits the bill.

Basically what the pc will be used for is 2d animations in after effects. his main complain for his macbook pro is long rendering and slow preview, so that's his motive to get a pc. he doesnt want to spend a lot (~$1050) with everything included. so far i've gathered these: PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant Type Item Price CPU AMD - Ryzen 7 1700 3 GHz 8-Core Processor $159.89 @ OutletPC Motherboard MSI - B450-A PRO ATX AM4 Motherboard $96.20 @ B&H Memory G.Skill - Aegis 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3000 Memory $79.99 @ Newegg Storage Crucial - MX500 1 TB 2.5" Solid State Drive $134.99 @ Amazon Video Card Gigabyte - Radeon RX 580 8 GB Gaming 8G Video Card $189.99 @ Newegg Case NZXT - H500 (White) ATX Mid Tower Case $69.99 @ Amazon Power Supply SeaSonic - M12II EVO 850 W 80+ Bronze Certified Fully-Modular Fanless ATX Power Supply Monitor LG - 29UM59-P 29.0" 2560x1080 75 Hz Monitor Keyboard Corsair - K55 RGB Wired Gaming Keyboard $46.99 @ Amazon Mouse Logitech - G402 Wired Optical Mouse $29.93 @ Amazon Prices include shipping, taxes, rebates, and discounts Total (before mail-in rebates) $827.97 Mail-in rebates -$20.00 Total $807.97 Generated by PCPartPicker 2019-03-08 05:23 EST-0500 except the power supply is a 620 version of that one, couldn't find it on there. will be ordering to russia from this website https://www.computeruniverse.ru . the sum is 1067 euros = ~1200 usd. if there is a good upgrade for not so much more, feel free to include

Hello guys, i was wondering if my PC (http://pcpartpicker.com/p/pDYw99) could run games like The Witcher 3 on ultra (60fps) with triple 1080p 60hz, or just one 1080p 60hz and a 1440p 144hz?

Hey guys, if you have some free time and wouldn't mind helping a guy out, I would appreciate that. Basically a good build that can last for a good 4 to 5 years, maybe upgrading ram and what not during that time, but I'd love for it to work for up to 5 years. I'm mainly interested in After Effects, Premiere Pro, Flash, Photoshop, Cinema4D etc. As for games, I mainly play Leagues of Legends 1-2 a day, and I would love for it to run the upcoming Assassin's Creed and some LOTR games like shadow of mordor, 1080 40-60 fps is more than enough for me. My maximum budget is 1500$, but that includes shipping fees, so I would say around 1300$ for the build (Monitor, keyboard, mouse, headset included), looking to buy from amazon, I live in Russia. I hope what I'm asking for is not a lot, thanks.

Hi guys, I need some help with parts because i decided to build it myself (this is going to be the first time i'll build a PC) and don't go with a expensive pre-build PC. I don't know anything about motherbords and such, The only two things i had in mind are: the GTX 980 TI and the Intel Core i7-4790K 4.0GHz Quad-Core Processor. If someone can help me pick parts would be great. Also if someone has better ideas for a video-card and CPU is also good. Have a great day Wooosh__

Hello guys, yesterday i asked the community for a good i7, GTX 980 Ti build and i recieved a good one, a good friend of mine made some improvements on it and this is the outcome: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Wooosh__/saved/CrdZxr now i'm asking you guys if i have to improve it some more (fans, sound-card and such) if needed or are the results good? Thank you for responding and have a nice day. Wooosh__

Hey there guys. I'm making my first gaming build. I'm 14 (is that too young to make a build?) and decided that instead of buying one I would build one. I would like some suggestions in this build. If there is anyway to make this build better please tell me. Oh and I still cant decide on which motherboard to use. I would appreciate it if you guys could help out on that issue. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3cY7NG

Part 1: The challenge, build a mount and rig to hold 4x 1080p projectors, in order to project a (nearly) seamless image on to a surface. Hopefully staying under a budget of 3000(usd) (for the display, price of PC driving it is up to you) Bonus Objective: Find a way to rear project the setup. Extra Credit! Perform the same 4k display via a projector but instead surpass 1080p using cheap 50~70 dollar 320x240 LED projectors. Or whatever for even less. Or at least nothing more than 640x480. (which can be obtained around 80~100 dollars) Basically something absurd using 8+++ projectors on a single pc together to make a single image. This is for fun, there is no prize unless someone feels like donating one or maby ill think up a prize...

Im looking to customize a workbench for pc building, modding, and repairing. I have some plans but was hoping to gather any outside the box or cool thoughts/ideas, or dream setups. So what does the ultimate workbench look like?

Hi everyone! I've finally gotten the means to it and have decided to build a beast of a PC, I've been gaming on laptops the past ~8 years, and now that i have the money, i wanna go all out! This is the first desktop i'm building, but i have a two brothers who has done a few build, so the building part won't be an issue. I am taking a multimedia degree, so a little CPU power was needed for video editing, graphical editing etc. The requirements was: Running Star citizen at high res. G-sync ready GPU Watercooled cpu (Childhood dream) Min. 16 BG RAM SSD for OS What didn't matter HDD storage (1TB max.) Size (Rather big and ventilated than small and movable) And the Build i came up with is: CPU: Intel 4770K GPU: Nvidia GTX 780 *edit* I have landed on this specific card: ASUS GeForce® GTX 780 DirectCU II Mobo: MSI Z87-G45 GAMING Gigabyte GA-Z87X-UD4H - Rev. 1.0 RAM: Crucial 2x8 DDR3 SSD: Intel 530 120GB HDD: WD Green 1TB WD Blue 1TB PSU: Corsair Enthusiast Series Modular TX550M TX650M Corsair RM750 Coolers: Corsair Hydro Series H105 240mm some more fans.. Case: Corsair Vengeance C70 So i just wanted to get some feedback on things like, bottlenecks, compatibility etc. -Lordluke10

Hey guys, I do a lot of at home repairs and I'm looking to upgrade my bench. Right now I just use a grounded wristband on a wooden bench but I need something more professional that can be used for other applications such as building model cars, etc., so a plastic mat or something along those lines is perfect. Do you use a grounded ESD mat to work on? If so, where did you purchase it from? Thanks

Alright, so i have been planning for months on building my first rig. It's an update from my 3 years old dell XPS 15 laptop. The new rig is meant for gaming and perhaps some photo editing/rendering and i wonder if it's capable of doing that with a smooth flow. I also wonder if the system is cooled enough using the case fans or if i need more fans and if all of the components fits together (even though i've looked it up several times already). Thank you for your help and advice! My budget is maximum 1800$ and this system lies on the edge of that, (1813$) to be exact. The specs: GPU: MSI GeForce GTX780 Gaming 3GB Phsyx CPU: Intel Core i5-4670K PSU: Corsair CX 750M, 750W PSU MOTHERBOARD: MSI Z87-G45 gaming, socket-1150 CPU COOLER: Corsair H60 Hydro Series CPU Cooler CASE: Corsair Obsidian 650D Midi Tower DVD DRIVE: Samsung DVD writer SH-224DB HARDDRIVE; Seagate Barracuda 1TB SSD: Kingston SSDNow V300 120GB 2,5 OEM RAM: Crucial DDR3 Ballistix Sport 1600 MHz 8GB
