With high end GPUs getting so expensive, let's also take a moment to appreciate how affordable many other parts have gotten

I hear many people saying that PC gaming is starting to become too expensive for the mainstream audience because of all the $1500+ GPUs, and xx70 series cards costing $800+. This is 100% correct and Nvidia has screwed over the consumer by delaying the 40-series until the 30-series started to sell ou

5800x - adjusting PPT/TDC/EDC Limits on PBO got me minimal drop in R20 multicore scores and major drop in temperatures (90C to 71C), GUIDE INSIDE

A couple days ago I made this post here at r/AMD discussing my experience cooling the 5800x. Since then, my temps creeped back up to 90C, and then stayed there in every benchmark that I ran. Reseating the cooler still helped, as I didn't immediately shoot up to 90C anymore - but even after upgrading

5800x + 5070 or 9600x + 9060XT, for the same price (1440p high)?

Grab the 5070. Extra VRAM capacity on the 9060XT isn’t going to do you much when you have a slower core. CPU isn’t going to really matter as much, AM5 might give you a little more in the longer term but both are going to be plenty for most modern screen caps.. [PCPartPicker Part List](https://pt.pcp

Is AM4 still viable or should I hop on AM5?

Please bear with my ignorance as my current build (AMD Phenom 965 + Radeon 6850) just turned 10 years old, I've been away from the diy scene for a while and trying to catch up with the latest parts info.

So I'm doing my research and the R7 5800X is highly recommended. However, I notice that it fits

im building a pc but i want to know wether this is a good build or not on pcpartpicker

PCPartPicker Part List Something like this should be much better at a similar price. The 5800x is a nice cpu, but your upgrade path is limited to the 5700x3d and 5800x3d, both of which are ridiculously expensive, even on the used market. The 12600K performs on par with it, is cheaper, and makes upgr

Upgrade kompa

Gledao sam malo po KP i iskreno, možeš za relativno normalne pare da napraviš ozbiljan upgrade koji će ti trajati minimum 5-6 godina bez potrebe da diraš išta. Ne bih išao na krpljenje stare konfiguracije (tipa samo GPU), jer ti je platforma već dosta zastarela (DDR3, 4790k itd). Ovo dole je prelaz

Need Help from all you build experts

A 5070 in a $3500 build (don't forget sales tax) is a literal crime against humanity. You don't need 64GB RAM. You really don't need a 9800X3D for a midrange gaming PC, That DDR5 won't perform any better than some good DDR4. You don't need an AIO for ANY AMD CPU, especially not a Ryzen 7. Your MB ch

PC shuts down completely a few minutes after launching any game.

Hi everyone, hoping you can help me figure out what's killing my PC. This started a few days ago.

The Problem:
My PC runs perfectly fine on the desktop and in Windows. But as soon as I launch a graphically intensive game (like Cyberpunk 2077, Helldivers 2, etc.), it will run for anywhere from 30

Time to Upgrade... but what?

Hello everyone, over these past months I’ve realized that I’d like to take my PC build to the next level. I don’t have a big budget, but since we’re getting close to the usual seasonal sales and deals, this might be the right time.

Also, a few days ago I had some shutdowns while playing Arc Riders
