Any PC Builders Out There?

Here she is all cleaned up with the Corsair sleeved cables. Had to remove the hard drive “cage” that’s really just two metal plates held in with screws to free up wiring space.

 

I was thinking that but have seen the same temps throughout using HWMonitor since 3DMark only lists average.

I did see a power limit on my GPU hence raising target power via Aorus software.

Knowing and sharing this, would you say it's "bin" limited since I haven't messed with voltage for the CPU at any point?

 

You can actually play most fps games on a 2Mbps connection and not notice anything in game as long as your ping is decent. I game with a few folks at "the end of the line" capped at 2Mb.

 

Easily 100 times better looking!

 

When people say 'you don't need a nice GPU or keyboard to play Doom on'







Just a GIF...though others have successfully run Doom on their keyboard. Hell, even on a pregnancy test.

 

Had my first big issue to troubleshoot this evening. Went to turn the pc on and just black screen. Gpu fans would spin for a bit and the stop. Tried reseating it, the old power cables, new display port cable, installing it directly on the motherboard, old gpu, and nothing worked. Gave it one last try after 2.5 hours with the new gpu and while it was still black screened, unplugged the monitor and plugged it into a different socket. Voila. Had a blue screen and needed a restart, but all was functioning as it should. Will probably move the gpu back to the vertical mount at some point since the temps while gaming are 5-8 degrees cooler that way, but relieved it’s all working

 

Had a similar issue; I recently sold my 6700k 1080TI build and while installing a new OS, I had a GPU issue.

Had the latest bios, drivers installed, everything. It took me seating the GPU into another (lower) slot to get any video and get Nvidia GeForce installed. Afterward, I was able to put it on the first slot and get it running like normal again.

 

Weird. Guess it’s always just a troubleshoot and hope for the best.

 

Derno why...but I threw in more RAM I'll never need to use.

 

For me it was an aesthetic choice really

 

Goes to show that even an extra 4mm makes a huge difference

 

5600 non x is down to 119 at my local microcenter. Hoping they might drop it down to 99 on holiday sales. Doubtful, but who knows.

 

Amazon just dropped it to $118 so I pulled the trigger. 5800x3d is top am4 chip, but not worth triple the price of a 5600 for me.

 

I’m waiting on 7800X3D (or equivalent)

this will be my first amd build

 

Dang, and I thought the $148 I bought it for the other week was a steal.

 

I built this a few years ago.

CPU: 9900KS @ constant 5ghz
RAM: GSKILL 32 gig
GPU: 2080TI Hybrid
MB: ROG Gene XI
Storage:

• 500 Gig samsung pro NVME
• 1TB WD NVME
• 256 Gig sandisk SSD
• 500 Gig samsung pro SSD
• 1 TB WD HDD

Case: NZXT H400i
Power Supply: Corsair 850 Watt
Monitor: acer Predator X34

 

Looks like micro center has the 5800x3d at $319 which is all time low

 

Looks promising, especially at the MSRP listed compared to Nvidia.

I haven't owned anything non-Nvidia since the days of old like the 9800 All in Wonder Pro.
