EDIT: Solved it after looking at the picture more closely. Needed to take out this plastic with a plier which was stuck into the DisplayPort. *** Hi guys, A few years back I bought myself a prebuilt PC with a RTX 2070. So far I have only used the HDMI entry. However, due to buying a new...

Full speed however means that especially while idle the PC will be very loud.. and I'm not a fan of of loud PCs.

I have a problem. I just got all parts and noticed that the motherboard has only 4 fan connectors. The case and the CPU need 5 however.. Could you recommend me another motherboard?

Thanks, you are right, I will go for the Gigabyte motherboard. About the OS: I read a few articles after you mentioned this and if I undertood correctly this just stops Microsoft from releasing new features to Windows 7? I read so many negatove things about Windows 8 that I'm not sure if it's...

A Z97? There is a special sale right now :D If buying this (https://www.digitec.ch/de/s1/product/intel-core-i5-4690k-lga-1150-350ghz-unlocked-prozessor-2584655) + this (https://www.digitec.ch/de/s1/product/asus-z97-a-lga-1150-z97-atx-mainboard-2580160) it's only ~50 dollars more expensive...

I just read this thread (http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1833222) where someone mentiones the bad fancontrol of Gigabyte motherboards. Which motherboards would you guys recommend in this case? (maybe including Asus :ll)

Thanks guys, I decided to go with this case https://www.digitec.ch/de/s1/product/nzxt-phantom-630-midi-tower-usb-30-black-big-tower-pc-gehaeuse-400591. Is a different CPU fan than the one that comes with the CPU useful?

Thanks Dangman for the long reply! A question though: For the CPU, I read that the major difference between i5 and i7 is Hyper-Threading. The i7 has basically 8 cores (as I understood it) while the i5 only 4. I want this PC to be future proof, is the i7 in this case the better way to go?

Hello everyone, Lately my PC has a lot of bluescreens and I get more and more stuck in the Windows screen (the motherboard was broken since the very beginning). For this reason I want to buy a new PC after having endured the old one for 2.5 years. 1) What will you be doing with this PC...

I will turn in back and get a new one, and build it together when I have some time. Thanks for the help guys!

I can't use both 2 black slots, because my cooler gets in the way of thos big heat spreaders. But it boots in the following cases: 1) 1 in black 2) 1 in blue (both blue work fine) 3) And it works when "Ram A" is in the first slot and "Ram B" in the second slot. If RAM B is in slot 1 and RAM A...

The Seasonic X-760 (SS-760KM) Gold - 760 Watt.

I FOUND THE ERROR! I'm so happy right now:D I took out 1 ram (out of the two 4 GB RAMS I have) and the PC started up! The strange thing is that BOTH work this way, my theory was that either one of them is broken. When I put both back into their original position, I get the same error and can't...

Sorry im not so experienced with PCs, it is my first self-built one. I cleared the RTC RAM CMOS like is says in the manual, but I haven't removed the battery. I didn't overclock anything on the PC. I forgot to mention that when I turned the PC off, windows shutted down and the monitor as well...
