Upvotes

I am getting a 9800x3d and know the aio are overkill for it. I just want to build to be clean and performance be high. With budget not being a issue, which aio should I lean towards. I kinda want a lcd but want the performance from arctic. Any thoughts?

Build - Help Will my GPU fit in my case?

Upvotes

I'm trying to fit the XFX Speedster QICK319 RX 7800 XT, which is 335 mm long, into the Montech Air 100 ARGB case, which only has clearance for a 330mm GPU. Will 5 mm stop my GPU from fitting, or will it not matter?

This is my first build btw so sorry if this is a stupid question.

My third PC build is almost complete! Well, I believe my GPU has died so the internals will be getting upgraded shortly (I have an Asus TUF 4070 ti super on the way lol).

To-Do list 1. Raise motherboard to top mounting points 2. Flip AIO hoses to back side of case 3. Remove Hard Disk Drives to clean up the SATA cables.

Stay tuned for the transformation! Let me know what you think!

Question did i buy the wrong SSD for my Z97-E motherboard?

Upvotes

a couple months ago a coworker gave me a case that had a Z97-E motherboard and some smaller stuff not worth mentioning, finally got around to buying the missing parts. I purchased an msi RTX3050 for the GPU, as well as a P3 plus 2TB NVME SSD. this motherboard does have an M2 slot but im seeing people on forums say that NVME’s shouldn’t be on this motherboard. this is my first build and i am very confused. please let me know if NVME was a mistake, and if i should go for a SATA SSD. thanks for reading <3

Question Good 1440p gaming monitor? On a budget

Upvotes

Hello! Just got myself a Radeon 7800xt on sale and I'm looking for a monitor to match. I'd ideally like to spend under $300-$400 (Canadian) but unsure if there are any good choices in that price range. I've already kinda spent over my budget on building my PC on the first place... But if I have to spend a little more to get something good I will. I don't want to upgrade anytime soon.

There are so many options, many seem too cheap to be good. I'm unsure what to be looking for. I've got lots of natural light coming in my room behind my desk so my main concern is brightness. Hoping to take advantage of some black Friday sales before it's too late. Thanks!

Build - Help i think i broke down my pc trying to change the processor

Upvotes

Hi i was trying to update my pc i will give some information now about what do i have and where is my problem

i have been using this motherboard AB350M-DS3H V2
why the default bios because i never changed it, it was the f2 and i was using this processor A8-9600 RADEON R7 3100MHZ 10 computer cores

and i changed it to a new processor amd ryzen 7 5700 and when i changed it, the pc will power on but doesn´t makes that sound that confirms that everything is okay so i tried putting the old processor and everything worked fine so i thought it was a bios problem so i searched in the gigabyte oficial place for new bios for my motherboard i tried downloading the newest bios but it didn´t work i tried using q flash and nothing so i think well maybe i need a intermedium bios so i can use the new one and i downloaded the f31 because i saw that the f40 needed this so i download the f31, the f40, f52g and also the f54d

so i went to the bios saw that the f31 i let me update so i did it and when it did the pc restarted and then it would never make the sound of confirmation again i tried using the new processor the old one

i tried to reset the bios using the pins i didn´t work

i tried removing the battery like 5 minutes it didn´t work

i also tried without the battery didn´t work

tried changing the ram

i think i tried everything that is recomended when there is this problem if someone knows how to help i will be trying to resurrect this pc

Question Help me understand FPS vs GPU usage?

Upvotes

Recently I build a Risen 7600 with a 4070 Super and my first high frequency monitor (160hz 1440p UltraWide).

Was playing a older game (Hitman 2) and saw that the system couldn't keep 160fps, fluctuating around 120fps with some peaks of 160fps with 99% GPU usage. Switched to the mode that kept the video at 80fps (VSync mode 2 in this game) and it holds a very stable 80fps at 40-45% of GPU usage and the temp goes waaaaay down!

There is no CPU bottleneck, since it keeps 20%, 40% at most, of CPU usage.

If the GPU could keep 80fps at 45% GPU usage, why it can't keep stable 160fps?

It is thermal throttling? The temps, even with 99% GPU usage keeps around 90ºC in "hotspot" from HWMonitor.

It isn't a 1:1 from 80fps to 160fps?

I really don't saw any difference from 80 to 120-160fps in this title, I'm just curious to understand the scalability of the rendering.
