My LAN Party pc… hopefully I get a chance to go to whaleLan in the future.

12600k, zotac 5060, 32gb of ram and 2tb of NvME storage.

In the mean time my dad uses it to as his travel workstation when on photography jobs so he does t have to bring his tower.

CPU: Ryzen 7 5800X3D
GPU: Sapphire 9070XT Nitro+
Ram: 2x16gb 3200MHz CL16 DDR4
Motherboard: ASRock B550 Phantom Gaming 4
CPU Cooler: Lian Li Galahad II 360mm AIO
PSU: Corsair RM1000e ATX 3.1
Storage: 2tb Samsung 990 EVO
Case: NZXT H7 Flow ATX Mid-Tower

If I do anything at this point it’s be getting more ram or a larger 2x combo. Haven’t had a major need for it but until prices go down for AM5 or AM6 comes out this will be my permanent battle station for the foreseeable future.

I have bought an nv2 2tb at the start of the ram crisis for 70$ thinking i had good deal , i was intending to use it as a main drive but seen that its really bad and after being half full its becomes slower then hdd .

My board only has one m.2 slot so i can't get a decent m.2 and use the nv2 as a secondary m.2 , so what should i do use it? Sell it?

Any thoughts?

sounds amazing.

Found my old gpu today in my mums loft.. had some fun times on bo3 Zombies with this.

I'm new to PC gaming and got this. What games should I play to really show it off? The cheaper the better because I'll want to wait until steam winter sale to get the more expensive things.

He’s also probably talking to his alter ego in the mirror. 👀

Hello. I'm curious, does it make sense to use the ROG equalizer cable with the Seasonic Noctua Edition 1600 watts titanium PSU? Or should I just use the supplied GPU cable that came with the Seasonic?

My understanding is the ROG equalizer cable has a more robust resistance to overvolting. Is that correct?

Furthermore, I also have the option of getting a ROG Thor 3 EVO PSU. Should I stick with the Seasonic Noctua Edition or get the ROG Thor 3 1600W EVO?

The card is a 5090.

EDIT: Typo in the title; it should be "ROG," not "RIG"

I wanted to know this, because I have been seeing and researching conflicting things, some say yes, others say no, others say that with the exit of Nvidia, others will come to take their place

the problem with all that, one saying something, another saying something else, I don’t know who I listen, I believe and trust, I get lost

so that’s why I came here, being serious and direct, no jokes, no messing around, please, about what I asked in the title

Just to be sure it isn't running in the background. 👍

Howdy folks, I'm looking into a UPS to serve a couple purposes: the main thing is of course to give me time to shut down my PC gracefully/prevent power loss from brownouts and quick flickers. Secondarily, I'd like it to be able to maintain my fiber ONT and router for 20-30 minutes during power loss, as I work fully remote and my laptop will hold up during that time, but my internet will not. (Can't phone hotspot, limited data.)

My PC build is an RTX 4070 Super, 7800X3D, 2x2tb internal SSD, 1x 2tb external, dual monitors. My off-the-cuff estimate is a power draw no more than ~450-500 watts at peak, and usually much less than that.

I tend to over-buy for what I need, so I'm not sure if something like the APC BR1500MS2 (1500VA/900W) would be absurd overkill or not.

My other big concern is that right now my office/gaming space is in my bedroom, and I've heard tale of high-pitched whines even when the UPS is under low load (at night, the PC and monitors would be off, only the ONT and router would draw power.) It seems like these complaints are on every UPS I look at, so I'm genuinely unsure whether it's a serious concern or not. For what it's worth, I already deal with a whining monitor power supply, which I just run a fan at night to cover. So if it's generally faint from ~6 feet away, then I'd almost certainly be fine.

Anyway, does anyone have any experience with a UPS for this kind of scenario? Am I overthinking it and should just grab a decent APC/Cyberpower UPS?

I would like to get some new wired speakers. Got these cheap pair currently and with Black Friday coming up, I feel I could get something nicer.

Any suggestions?

How do you guys feel about this deal is it worth picking up. (Edit it says ram 8gb *2 so 16gb it got cut off) Link: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256808474176250.html?spm=a2g0n.productlist.0.0.74fa3854buOqLN&aff_platform=msite&m_page_id=8ey1icirxwwcawhl1a1e0300bdb145931a68202b03&gclid=&pdp_ext_f=%7B%22order%22%3A%22150%22%2C%22eval%22%3A%221%22%2C%22orig_sl_item_id%22%3A%221005008660491002%22%2C%22orig_item_id%22%3A%221005008783213551%22%2C%22fromPage%22%3A%22search%22%7D&pdp_npi=6%40dis%21USD%21101.33%2143.66%21%21%21671.97%21289.56%21%402103292b17947626075437689e106a%2112000046135726586%21sea%21US%210%21ABX%211%210%21n_tag%3A-29910%3Bd%3A65210df6%3Bm03_new_user%3A-29895%3BpisId%3A5000000218165431&algo_pvid=6619bc59-9a22-49be-83bd-319e0ca612ea&utparam-url=scene%3Asearch%7Cquery_from%3A%7Cx_object_id%3A1005008660491002%7C_p_origin_prod%3A1005008783213551&_universallink=1&m_page_id=8ey1icirxwwcawhl1a1e0300bdb145931a68202b03

Just a random thought I had.
Would be really cool to know what is all that stuff that is running at all times while the motherboard has power, even if the pc is off.
And it's running in every pc.
Is it a backdoor? something else?

Hi, on Nov 5th, I found CORSAIR VENGEANCE 16GB (2x8GB) 5200MHz CL40 that was with a claim offer ( like there are 50 kits available and the first 50 people to buy it get it with a very big discount) when I saw it, I didn't give it much attention, and it was gone in like 4 min and the price returned to normal (350$). I started to lose hope on RAM prices and i don't think they will drop by 2028
so there is a big chance on Nov 19th when Black Friday start there will be another claim offer like that
So my question if there is an offer like that should i take it or skip it because of kinda bad specs
and what will be the difference if i get 6000 MHz CL30 will there be any big gap or it is kinda ok?
I'm pairing it with ryzen 7 7800X3D and RTX 3070 and im playing CPU foucs games like CS2 and Valorant

Note: currently i don't have either the CPU of the motherboard to test the ram maybe i can test them for a short period with a friend's PC for like a day or two, but i will buy the CPU and the motherboard in like 6 months from now

if you have any question feel free to ask

I honestly grew up in a very poor household, i mean growing up it felt like the ps2 was something rich people could only have. looking at this thing that i actually put together had me absolutely mind blown and i am so happy with it. im just so happy with this and wanted to share not only my first pc but my first build! i’ll add my specs below!

CPU: Ryzen 7 7800X3D

GPU: Zotac Gaming Geforce RTX 5060 AMP Core 8Gb

Ram: KLEVV URBANE V RGB 32gb DDR5-6400 CL30 (2x16)

MB: Gigabyte B650 AORUS Elite AX Rev 1.2

my steam is lxstlovex17 if anyone’s ever trying to play anything!

Got myself a new mouse mat

New speakers

And a KVM for switching my inputs between the two pc's

My next upgrade will be a oled monitor

serien and helium gave my pc back to normal!

Hey everyone! I've had a Lenovo IdeaPad L340 for a few years now. I paid around $900 for it back then, but it's gotten to the point where it can barely even run Roblox without lagging 😭

I've been looking at these laptops:

• ASUS ROG Strix G18 G814FP-TT080WZ – $2,350

• MSI Katana 17 HX B14WFK-283XCZ – $1,580

• Lenovo LOQ 15AHP11 – $1,490

• ASUS TUF Gaming A18 FA808UH-S8095WZ – $1,175

I'm honestly pretty clueless when it comes to laptop specs, so I'd really appreciate some help choosing the right one. I've obviously already asked ChatGPT, but I'd love to hear some opinions from actual people haha.

I'll mainly be using it for video editing in Adobe Premiere Pro, usually with a bunch of Chrome tabs open at the same time. I'd also love to be able to get at least 100 FPS in games like Fortnite, Warzone, GTA, etc. haha

Thanks in advance! :))

I want to buy a new home server set up because my current one is not very powerful like it has a Intel core i7 6700T

So I want a rise CPU for my server stuff, but I keep finding these Useless deals. I can’t find anything in this economy specially in Qatar. Leak in the US the price may be different on some of you guys but in Qatar, the price is like. 1 US = 3.60 qar if I am correct so we have to pay triple the price on top of that AI price hike is basically impossible to find a good deal in Qatar, especially when you are trying to save money as a new adult
