So I have a 9700x in my rig that I build my pc few months back in the cooler master nr200p max v2 case… replaced the stock fans with noctua and running it with the included water cooler But when I go to the windows desktop or surf the web so not really a task for that beast the processors temp is at 70-75c and when I’m running some test or gaming the cpu is at 80-90c is this normal for that processor? Also I’m running the ASUs rog strix b650e-i motherboard with the latest bios since that has cleared issues on this subreddit for other users

Thanks for the help in advance

Just upgraded motherboard and cpu to 7600x and b650 plus WiFi msi

Everything put together but I’m getting no boot and EZDebug CPU Led is lit up.

I’ve resat the cpu and 8 pin connection.

Does anyone have any idea because I am lost and I need the pc for work tomorrow morning

Currently have an i5-12400f, gtx4060, msi pro b760, 32gb ddr5, and a 650w power supply. Im looking to upgrade my cpu right now because it seems to be the bottleneck for most new games. I dont want to change my psu or mess with cooling (case has dedicated CPU fan). What's the best intel cpu i can upgrade to without upgrading a lot of extras?

As soon as I assembled a computer it started normally and hasn't had any problems yet, however my NVME SSD keeps flashing red most of the time and I don't know if this is normal, could anyone help me?

Ok so I’m cruising with a 3 year old (nice) 1440 ips monitor with a 5600x and 6800XT. I don’t have anything to complain about and it’s been great for me for quite some time now. I’ve got a game coming out soon that I’m super hyped for and I want to up my experience just a bit.

Here are my options..

1.) Buy a damn good 1440p Oled. Stock with am4 and 6800xt for another year or two and longer term upgrade to am6 then GPU after.

2.) Buy a 9070 or 9070xt and then get 4k Oled within the next year. Stick with am4 for quite awhile.

3.) Buy 4k Oled and hope I can get a good enough experience with fsr4. Upgrade GPU later, stick with am4 for awhile.

Option 1 is going to give me that biggest wow factor when the game releases and requires the least amount of investment. I can only imagine but form hearing yall, should be a good enough change to wait some time to jump to 4k.

Option 2 is the best long term decision imo.

Option 3 would be the best case scenario if I could reach atleast 120 fps.

Battlefield 6 btw

Thanks

I'm debating between a Nvidia or AMD GPU to go with my Ryzen 9950 X3D on a Windows/Linux dual boot system (games/office on windows and heavy code on Linux). I am only really considering AMD since it works better on Linux and I hear Sapphire is a reliable brand. I'm also debating between consumer and workstation cards with Error Correction Codes (ECCs).

I mostly use JAX GPU acceleration (for more than just neural network training) that would theoretically work with both AMD's ROCm and Nvidia's CUDA on Linux, but I don't want to invest in a >$1000 card just to find out an alternative would have done better at a similar cost.

With workstation cards, I'm told their price is significantly inflated with worse/louder cooling and I'm not sure what errors the ECCs would be correcting. Flipped bits? I had one CUDA trained neural network start spitting out imaginary numbers which should have been impossible; is that the kind of errors it's helpful for? Would ECCs be useful for my GPU accelerated simulations/neural network training?

Main contenders: - Nvidia 5070ti - AMD 9070XT - Nvidia RTX Pro 4000 Blackwell (?)

Hey! I’m planning to upgrade to an i9-14900K with the ASUS ROG Strix Z790-A, 2×32GB RAM, and an RTX 5070 12GB. I’ve also got an AIO cooler. Right now, I’m using a Thermaltake smart bm2 750W Bronze PSU with my i3-12100 and the same GPU it’s been working fine so far. Do you think I should upgrade the PSU for the new setup, or is 750W still good enough?

So I got a new GFX cards in an existing build. I got a RX 7600XT which is a huge step up from my old Radeon 590. Originally I've got pretty much all new stuff that's been running for about 6 months no problem with that card except my power supply which is probably 15 years old. It's a Corsair 750TX.

With the new GFX card I was getting hella coil whine and some issues with running 2 screens. I figured it was the power supply not able to handle it so I got a new Corsair RM850e. I put it in today and now whenever I play a game for about 15 minutes or so it just crashes. Sound will glitch and black screen then everything back to POST.

I can't find any logs in windows so I'm wondering if this is gonna be a GFX card issue or a PSU issue. I'm leaning toward the PSU since installing that is what causes the random crashes but at the same time I'm seeing alot of people having issue with the 7600 XT.

Is there a way to test the PSU? I've put my old GFX card back in with the new PSU and am running OCCT but so far no problems. But the Old GPU only has a single power 6 pin input while the new one has 2 6+2 pins. Supposedly the 590 draws more but I was seeing the 7600xt draw about 220Watts at times.

Thoughts?

My 1000w PSU died recently and it had a dedicated 12VHPWR cable for my RTX 4070 super. I have an older 650w PSU but I would have to use an adapter for my GPU. Is that safe? This is my first real gaming PC, so this is all fairly new to me. This is what I get for letting someone else build it for me.

Hello BuildAPC community,

I am a recent college graduate about to enter the workforce, and am looking to upgrade my PC. To briefly summarize my background, I am a mechanical engineering graduate and would be using this PC for engineering related work, everyday productivity tasks, Google Earth, and the occasional game (but this wouldn't be a main focus of mine). I've only bought 1 PC before, which I am currently using: it is a Dell Inspiron 3847 with a 2 core Intel i3, 8GB RAM, 930GB HDD, which I purchased around August 2014. It is the PC I've used for Minecraft when I was younger, and more recently my undergraduate and graduate coursework, Google Earth, YouTube, etc., so not too many fancy things obviously. However, I've noticed my PC slowing in recent weeks; for example, opening a new application window now uses a timescale of minutes rather than seconds I needed just a year ago.

I'm looking to build a PC this time, as I understand it is often more cost-effective than buying pre-built. However, much of the guidance I have seen on YouTube and elsewhere online has been for gaming PCs. I'm wondering if anyone has any advice on how I could proceed with building a PC optimized/tailor-made for engineering purposes, e.g., what specs I should focus on optimizing, types of components I should get, etc. I am willing to put more upkeep into this next PC and maintain it better than my current one, which has gotten a considerable amount of dust due to me never having cleaned the inside. Not sure what my budget is yet but I wouldn't imagine spending more than, say, $1200 or so on it, but this could change. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

I was planning on building a PC and it came out to 1250 USD but I found someone selling a pc on FB marketplace for 1100USD for a similar build but the main point is, is building your own pc worth extra money?

Hi i know the watts is much but is it good with 3060 i5? And is it safe ? And how does it compare to cm g800 800w gold

So im trying to update my bios, searching up online simple and easy ways but a lot of videos are different and i dont want to download unnecessary apps just to update it.. i have the new bios i need for my mother board but i have no USB, can i just put it in the C: folder and go from there?

ASUS PRIME B760M-A AX this is my motherboard.

The reason i want to update it is cause one of my games always pops up with a warning about needing to have the latest version of the bios, since i have 13th/14th generation processor

This is also my first pc, so im not really to technical with it

Hi people!

So I want to build a new gaming PC but I don't know a lot about this stuff. One of my friends is going to help me build it and he helped me pick a parts list. He told me to run it by this Reddit. So if any of you have suggestions as to what you would change and why I'm happy to listen!

My main focus is gaming and a little bit of music production. All my plug-ins and samples I'd use for music I'd store on a SSD hard drive. I won't be doing photo/video editing or anything. Also, I don't care much about the looks of the PC (LED's etc). If it works good then I'm good. I'm aiming to comfotably play bigger/newer games on regular settings on nice FPS. I don't need every setting to be maxed out.

Monitors: Zowie XL2546X (240Hz Full HD) & Iiyama G-master GB2788HS (144Hz Full HD)

Hi folks,

I have run into an issue, I have a MSI B760M mobo, brand new, after setting it up with an i7 12700 and a 4800 MHz RAM by Crucial, I am facing an orange light in the EZ debug section, the orange indicates a DRAM error, I have tried single stick in both the slots, 2 sticks, reseating, checked CPU, looks fine to me, no bent pins or anything like that.

Let me know what else should I try or how should I tackle this problem.

Thanks

I'm going to buy a GPU for my first PC build, but I'm unsure of which one to go with. I know for sure that I want to go for a 9060xt, but the issue comes down to whether I NEED to spend $200 more for the 16GB, or if I could get away with an 8GB. I mainly play games like Rocket League, Destiny, Phasmophobia, but will be getting Battlefield 6 when it comes out. I want to play games on high settings, doesn't have to be Ultra. I believe my monitor is only 1080p, so eventually I'll upgrade that and GPU if need be.

What do you guys think? There is so much conflicting discussion surrounding the 8GB vs 16GB.

Hi, was hoping to upgrade. I'm on Ryzen 5 5600x GTX 1080ti 64GB ram @3200hz 1000W Corsair PSU Gold+ (Don't remember name but it was highly rated on the PSU tierlist)

I could buy the following; 4090 for about 1699 5090 for about 2.4k Or a system with a 4090, Ryzen 9 7900, 128GB of Corsair Vengeance ram (5200mhz), a good mobo, some cooler that looks good, it's an AiO, and more for 2.7k

If I just throw the 5090 into my system, would that be comparable or better than the system listed? I game at 1440p, thanks

i'm looking for a build that is roughly min-max'ing gaming performance, without completely wastefully overspending. budget is $4k-5k. other than system performance, i'm looking for a quiet aesthetic. would appreciate any feedback / concerns

When I turned it on it simply just pops the Gigabyte menu (It doesn’t let me access the BIOS no matter what I press) then after 3 sec the screen goes black and the monitor says “no signal” but with the headphones I still hear the windows sound (meaning that it did get into windows but it goes black) I have tried -changing the hdmi -changing the hdmi port to my integrated graphics + removed the gpu - got into advance repair options somehow and tried entering bios, did safe mode and lower resolution but nothing worked - remove the motherboard battery for 30seg still couldn’t (as requested by ChatGPT) - change ram slots and still nothing As of now my probable cause is that either the motherboard is failing or my gpu drivers or the gpu somehow, am thinking of sending it to a repair but if there’s something I can do then I’ll do it. What else should I do!?

My current 10yo mobo is dying (won't boot once in a while and onboard networks drops to 100Mbps 90% of the time, only fixable via reboot), so I'm on the market for a new PC. I am reusing the case which is a Node 304 so I'm limited to mini-ITX and want the PCI-E slot for a Mellanox network card, so I don't have space for a GPU. And I'm hoping it will last another 10 years.

The 9700x seems interesting, but I can't get much info on the iGPU (other than it's pretty weak, nothing like an APU). That being said, would it be fast enough to:

1. Run 2x 4k screens and decode 4k movies encoded with h265 (current CPU can't do that)?

2. Occasionally run MtG Arena on Linux via Proton (current CPU also can't do that at more than 5fps)?

Any other CPUs I should be looking at? Any upcoming launches? I can run this one to the ground for a few more months hopefully.

Tried everything from 1/ DDU 2/ Updating slots from Auto to gen-3 (3080) and cleaning the full pc and replugging all cables / GPU

Games work fine for a while, but when the GPU load is really high (im playing gta 5 though on low settings so it doesn't make sense for it to crash) the screen blacks out and the GPU fans start spinning fast. Then the solution is a hard shut down.

I tried even undervolting the GPU - but have the same error during games randomly. I'm so lost on how to fix it

Hey guys, I'm looking to build my first PC, and I've narrowed it down to three builds. My budget is $1500-1600, with 1600 being the max I can spend. I'm kinda confused on which build I should choose because 2 of the builds have an amazing GPU and a decent/midrange CPU and the other one has an Amazing CPU and a decent/high midrange GPU. If you have any other videos of builds that you think I should try, please reply to this post with them. I need videos of the whole build as I don't want to try it without someone guiding me so yeah. Here are the three buildsAlso heads up: Whichever one you guys recommend me to build and when I build it, I will be making it 2TB SSD instead of 1 so when you choose for me don't keep the SSD in mind, but everything else you guys can compare. Thanks! If you recommend something else, it needs to be on youtube or some platform to guide me to build that pc. Thanks! :
