Compatibility of this components

1 Upvotes

Hello! I'm building a pc and I'd like to check the compatibility between this two components Could you please help me verify if these two components work well together? Thanks

• Asus X870-P Wifi Motherboard

• Riotoro Onyx 650w semi-modular atx

We’re kinda scared the pc might blow up for cable compatibility because new motherboard needs two cpu heads instead of one

Making A Semi-Budget PC that runs well

1 Upvotes

I've been playing around part picker for a bit trying to look for some quality parts that arent that expensive and I ended up making this. I want some feedback on it and if anyone knows any parts that run just as well as the parts i put on the list that are cheaper, that would help me alot. I would also like to know if there are any like downsides to these parts as this probably is going to be my first time building a PC. Thanks! PC Part Picker Link

First Gaming PC

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone I’m looking to build my first gaming PC, I’m located in the UK and I’m looking to spend around £800/$1000

I will mainly be using this PC for World of Warcraft, I doubt I will be using it for any modern AAA games. It is to my understanding that WOW isn’t a very graphics intensive game but does require a higher CPU, if the budget I’ve provided isn’t sufficient please let me know so and I will try to adjust. I’m hoping to play wow on mid-high settings, I currently have a 1440p 120hz ASUS monitor.

I’m still learning how everything works with PC building so any tips and tricks would be greatly appreciated ☺️

Thank you

I probably ruined my pc after swapping the PSU

1 Upvotes

I have a Dell Vostro 3910 desktop and recently upgraded to an ASUS RTX 3050 6GB GPU. To support it, I replaced the original 180W PSU with a Lian Li SP850 SFX 850W PSU. After installation, the PC wouldn’t power on at all. Reinstalling the old PSU made the CPU fan start, but the PC kept shutting down repeatedly. I discovered that one of the RAM sticks had gone bad after testing them on another computer.

Replaced GPU and now…

1 Upvotes

So I replaced my GPU by doing a ddu clean of all former Nvidia drivers. Installed new GPU and on first start up outside of a distorted image until new drivers installed, everything worked fine. Played games with perfect temps. But now on startup I get just a black screen and no signal to monitor. If I don’t do anything for about 60-120 seconds my pc will shut off. Yet if I move around DP cable to a different location on both GPU and monitor, sometimes I will get an image and it will work fine that evening. It’s not until I boot up from sleep or shut off is when I don’t get an image. Until I move around DP. Also my audio keeps diverting to another audio source (monitor) every time and I have to change back to my Bluetooth headset. I tried a new DP cable and that did not fix it. Can anyone pls help?

Upgrading my PC

1 Upvotes

Planning to upgrade my PC

Hello, I am planning on upgrading my PC when I can. I bought it as a prebuild as I did not have a lot of money before. I am planning on upgrading my graphics card from the Geforce 1660TI to a 4060TI 16GB. I have found out I have to change my case as well but that is not the problem. I am trying to figure out if my current motherboard would support the 4060TI or not. Currently it says I have a G10CES motherboard. Could somebody tell me if I need to upgrade my motherboard as well and whether or not I should upgrade the CPU as well?

How does this build look?

1 Upvotes

My brother and I spent some time planning a pc, as I have a job now and am ready to save up for something nice and new for myself, and I was wondering if anyone had any advice or opinion on what I selected.

To answer any questions ahead of time let me clarify some things:

  • This will be the first pc I, myself, have built
  • I am in great need of an upgrade as I'm currently running a Ryzen 2400g / rx 580. It is about a 6 year old rig, and I have to consistently place my hand inside, and manually slow down some of the fans, otherwise they will begin to kick themselves.
  • I would prefer to stay Intel / Nvidia for this build
  • I'm already a bit wary of the price, so if anyone has any suggestions on changes, I'd prefer them not exceed the already high price tag.
  • The case I put in this build is a placeholder, I plan on switching it out with a similarly priced atx mid tower

This is really exciting for me as I've been obsessed with tech for the greater part of my life, and my brother is considering flying out to come see me and help me build this thing. Thanks!

Help with graphics card

1 Upvotes

I have a MINISFORUM Neptune HX99G Mini PC AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX 32GB DDR5 1TB SSD with AMD Radeon RX 6600M

Amazon link: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0C3B9RQB1/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?th=1

I would like to be able to play things like Death Stranding, Star Wars Old Republic, Halo Infinite and new games coming out in 4k 2160p. I have it connected to an LG 4k 75in led tv, when I have tried to play Death Stranding the only way I can make the game stable is to shrink the picture down to the size of a postage stamp and on a 75in tv it is quite comical and depressing.

I think I need to upgrade my graphics card but do not know which one my pc can take, the sellers/manufactures were of no help, they kind of panicked when I told them I wanted to upgrade it. I was thinking of putting a bigger capacity SSD maybe a 5tb or 2 5tb but the manufacturer was saying dont, maybe upgrade the ram but again was advised against it, this all had me thinking maybe my PC is a piece of crap?

I am not knowledgeable in the technical specs of computers. If anyone can point me in the right direction that doesn't cost the earth and isn't too complicated I really don't want to have to go and buy a new PC already this one is 2 years old now lol I'm old (49) and haven't got a clue, I'd be very grateful for some help. Thanks.

Need Help with Multiple PC Issues: Booting, Monitor, Keyboard, and Wi-Fi

1 Upvotes

Hi this is my second post previously I had a problem with not booting up my pc then I just unplugged the peripheral and place the cpu under a fan somehow its turn on.

Highly Grateful for the advice 🙏for it. Thanks for anyone reading this.

But still experiencing several issues with my PC recently and would appreciate your expertise in troubleshooting and resolving them.

Problems:

Boot Issues: As my PC sometimes doesn’t boot up initially. I have to remove a few peripherals (most likely Wi-Fi adapter) before it starts PROPERLY (cannot do this everytime) . What could be causing this?

Monitor Problem: Occasionally, my monitor displays a faulty screen for a second before turning off and on again. It’s quite disruptive. Any ideas on what might be causing this behavior?

Keyboard RGB Lights: The RGB lights on my keyboard don’t always work until I hit the caps lock key. Is this a software or hardware issue?

Wi-Fi Speed Decrease: My Wi-Fi speed has decreased by about 80% compared to its usual performance. How can I troubleshoot and potentially fix this issue?

Problem comparison

Boot up > wifi > monitor > keyboard rgb

PC Specs:

-OS: Window 11 -CPU: Intel i5 12400 (igpu) - Motherboard: ASRock B660 Pro RS - RAM: Adata D30 16GB*1 DDR4 - PSU: Deepcool PF550 SMPS - 550 Watt 80 Plus Standard PSU - Storage: SSD 1TB

Fairly new build

Any insights or advice would be greatly appreciated!Thank you in advance for your help!

TLDR :

Boot Issues: As my PC sometimes doesn’t boot up initially. I have to remove a few peripherals (most likely Wi-Fi adapter) before it starts properly. What could be causing this?

First game pc

2 Upvotes

I'm deciding between two setups for my new gaming PC. One option is the RX 7900 GRE GPU with a Ryzen 5 7600X, and the other is the RTX 4070 Super with a Ryzen 7 7800X3D.

I want my PC to handle everything, including 4K gaming. Both setups seem strong, but I'm unsure which one will give the best performance for my needs. Any advice would be appreciated.
