What’s the worst part of your rig?

[orbitalbuzzsaw]

Honestly the desk

[DrMacintosh]

My Mobo. The board itself isn’t bad, check my sig, it’s just mITX and on an old socket. 

 

If it were a Z97 mATX board it wouldn’t be too bad. Then I could at least put a USB-C expansion card in it or something. 

[Godlygamer23]

CPU I guess. 3570K at 4.2GHz. But honestly, I don't think anything in my rig is bad. Some of it is a fair number of years old, but like someone else mentioned on the first page, it works fine for their needs, and the same goes with my older components.

The fact that it restarts if i move anything or tap the case too hard..  It's a first gen Ryzen build and case too, someday I'll take it apart and rebuild.

Thats uh... you should look into that.

[dizmo]

Definitely the chair. I'll be replacing it with a Herman Miller shortly.

Then:

• Keyboard - to something with low profile keys
• CPU - to an i7
• Video card - to an 1160, or a 1070 if it's cheaper

I'm also considering a 1440p monitor with the video card upgrade.

[JohnCarlHenry]

Currently the worst part is not having enough money to buy it....

[TheLaserCucumber]

Maybe my Keyboard or mouse, I use a Logitech K520. I really like it, but it doesn’t quite fit into the rest of the system, which is more "gamerlike"

[Lemtea]

Probably my motherboard (Asrock b350 pro 4).

It fails to recognise the boot drive every couple of boots, has no load-line calibration settings and seems to snap the voltage to a fixed value once an overclock is set rendering the voltage control redundant, has no pcie express video adapter priority settings and periodically resets bios settings on its own. In contrast my gigabyte p55a ud3 had none of these problems and allowed me to push my i5 760 to 4.39ghz. 

[Froody129]

Currently don't have a GPU in the main rig and I'm currently using my 1050ti laptop at 1440p144. I change hardware so much it becomes a bother to update my specs  

[asus killer]

let's see... the case, the gpu and the monitor. Still working on upgrades.

[Nicnac]

it's that it's all in my mind  

[ScottWood]

The fact the the AIOs on my gpus dont reach the front of the case so they cant be mounted they are just kinda sitting in the hard drive bays 

[Sir Asvald]

The case. It's already broken. CBA to get a new one. 

[Sfekke]

Windows 10,

 

besides that it is pretty good.

[PineyCreek]

Mmm...Windows 10 I suppose.  Followed closely by a dissatisfaction with the stock speed and reliability of the core boost on the Ryzen 1700 chip.  I've got plenty of thermal headroom but little drive to dedicate time to overclocking via BIOS settings, and the Ryzen Master software craps itself every time I attempt anything.

 

Tempted to upgrade the BIOS and just pop in a Gen 2 zen chip to get rid of the guesswork.

Currently the worst part of my PC build is definitely that it’s a PC! I find it hilarious and sad that I carefully researched every component and built a solid gaming PC over $1000. It’s nothing fancy by any means but it performs...oh it performs. But I’d rather play the Switch in the comfort of my bed or the sofa. I have an arm that clamps onto anything (including the bed board) and I love using that with the switch. I’m basically imitating the movie Wall-E. 

[SteveGrabowski0]

Probably my Acer 24 inch 1080p TN panel. Since it doesn't have a DisplayPort input and I have to use DVI-D as the HDMI port of my GTX 970 is connected to my TV (which I have setup as a second monitor for when I want a console like couch experience with my PC games). I think I'm going to upgrade it to a decent IPS panel with a Displayport input some time this year. Might upgrade the gpu too if Turing would fucking release.

For me it's my case. I've had a Fractal Define XL for 5 years now and I'm sick of looking at it. It's a bland rectangle from the exterior. The door feels dated as I'm no longer hiding optical or floppy drives. There's no proper top venting. I'm moving away from mechanical hard drives so don't need the sea of hard drive sleds that are included.

 

I've got my eye on that new Phanteks Evolv X that all the tech tubers showed off at Computex. Can't wait for it to launch.

...It looks like a bland grey box too! Just not as huge.

lol. Cases are subjective. I'm sure there are many that think the look of Fractal cases are great, or that their performance outweighs the drawback of the look.

“Brushed metal” was the trend back then. This is when Fractal was king because all of their cases have that look.

[PSUGuru]

Honestly, currently just the stock case fans that you get with the Corsair Vengeance C70 case. Plan on replacing that with some LL120s when I have money to blow. Who buys nearly 300$ worth of fans just for aesthetics? Me.

[Princess Luna]

Have been wanting to get a 1440p ultrawide over my current 1080p ultrawide for a long while, just can't justify the high cost while the current display satisfies me plenty.

[iamdarkyoshi]

Sadly, the asus ROG board in my main rig. It massively overvolts the CPU when I try to do any manual overclocking.

 

I set 1.38, it delivers 1.5+...

 

Stock clocks for my 8086k it is...

[it_dont_work]

My wife, she's somehow always playing anno when I want to use it.
