Thank guys, as mentioned before, for playing COD from 2015 and not playing much games these days anyways, and not being a fan of used vid cards and guess if the guy is telling the truth or not with no warranty, I think 3060 12GB is final decision, which would be the easiest upgrade later if need...

I think I am deciding on this one, the only one I could find easily right now for under $300, seems like prices have jacked up the last couple of weeks, weird.... https://www.amazon.com/MSI-RTX-3060-OC-12G/dp/B08WTFG5BX Please let me know if there is anything WRONG with this card that I dont...

Haha i was thinking exactly... So I was going to search and then look elsewhere to buy... Besides Amazon any other suggestions? All I need is the case now and I am good to goooooooooo

Awesome thanks!

So getting a new build is kinda exciting, but somehow the case seems like one of those love/hate things. Why? I love a cool looking case, well, just because it looks cool and I love tech. Did I NEED as multi-colored lighted mech kb? No, but I go it anyways... I dont like the way it operates...

I have nothing against AMD, I used their cards a lot when I was mining DOGE like 10 years ago... but right now ya its just about my priorities... What is AMD's problem, are they in this "We dont know who we are" stage again? They are the obvious choice for gamers but otherwise........

Meaning it was working way too hard? Were you gaming then on max everything or.... when was the fan loudest for you? But most of my listings above were 3 fans so I dont feel thats an issue, they are all within the price points anyways so all good

Do any 4060 Ti come in 12GB or more? Looks like all are 8GB.... I thought getting above 12GB was a necessity today

Also I dont really want to wait, I just ordered this PSU https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07PZR9JLT/ and ready to get a case, so I want to get this thing built already, but I keep hearing the rumors about the 4060 coming out, should that even be on my radar?

It was slightly more expensive and heard from some that 2 fan was not an issue (i wont be oc anything) so thats why... you think its still a better value with the 3 fans? if its worth it then I dont mind paying that. I've had my current GPU running strong for 10 years so... I know cooling is...

Ya exactly... I listed some prices above and they are min I think over $550 or so... talking double the price.... And honestly, I think ANY person selling a video card online, is no average user.... NO ONE who is a "normal" user buys a system with like a 3080 in it, and decides to sell just the...

Ok ya then thats great to know, so I think that is overkill for me... I wont be playing any games from the last 8 years anytime soon so as long as I can run my Adobe software fairly quickly, I will be fine... I'll be able to finish my COD4 and MW2 at max settings LMAO and even that might take...

So I am def still considering that 3060 but now you are tempting me with a used 3080... I see some 12GB on ebay for about $500-$600 in the last month or so... there are some 10GB for around $400 but not sure if those are that inferior to the 12GB? I mean 20% difference? IMO I feel like that...

Thanks guys for the great info! So I agree the AMD is a better price value, but I have heard from many that nVidia is the way to go for Adobe and AI stuff, and AMD is better for gaming... so as Luke said, AND also with the launch of the 4060, seems like the 3060 price is dropping, these deals...

So after 10 years, yes a decade I am finally up for a new system. These are the current components I got ordered: Intel Core i7-12700K + MSI Pro Z690-A WiFi ATX Mobo + 32GB Corsair DDR5-6000 RAM ($425) 4TB Acer Predator GM7000 NVMe PCIe Gen4 Gaming Solid State Drive SSD ($252) and planning...

Is it possible that Gigabyte only included SATA2 cables? Is there any way to check the cables themselves to see what they are? I did just order some new SATA3 cables anyways, but curious.....

This is after freeing up about 10% of my main drive: https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/53620656

I been trying to clear some space, I might have to try harder to move whole large work folders over but I'll deal with it.... With still the HD issue, I ran again and the thing is with this new memory, even with raised voltages and I also overclocked the CPU more, the CPU is getting taxed so...

I didnt update BIOS yet, was only gonna do that if necessary to avoid any u know.... Also the hd, been waiting in upping at as well and still dont hd's suffer when it is near full? Right now only have about 5gb free, so.....

Is this what you needed? https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/53597331 Sniper is my old RAM, new I got A-tech. Should I try 2x16GB instead? And in case u wondering, ima get Win 10 after I decide what I am doing with the hardware...

Do not see any setting for XMP in this BIOS.... How high can i go with the voltage? And its been so long, how do i find the custom timings to use for this one?

DRAM voltage was at 1.5....i assume trying 1.35 is useless? Trying just 2 sticks in a bit How much is the CPU a limiting factor?

Everything I said above, yes, within its limits

Thats the only thing I can try? I rather not mess with that unless necessary and the last BIOS update was only a year after the mobo release back in like 2013 so.... not sure if thats worth the risk... I know they blow the "danger" of updating BIOS a bit much but still... I cant afford to have...

Memory Upgrade Causes PC/CPU Slowdown/Higher Usage _________________________________________ Not going to details but I finally upgraded my DDR3-1333 PC3-10666 4X4GB (A-Tech , had great ratings) to DDR3L-1600 PC3-12800 4X8GB (G-Skill Sniper) I have Windows 7 (64bit) with i5-2500K, 1TB SSD on...

Since I'm pretty Linux incompetent I'll try loading the hard drive to my pc and try to recover the files that way first... I'll have to learn using Linux recovery at some point though, can you tell me what that process is called exactly so I can Google or YouTube it? Meanwhile is this just...

Even if I have to trash it, I'm curious why this is happening... What's the cause... This is a pretty routine process... Can the system be so corrupted that it screws up this badly upon recovery attempts?

When I tried to recover again, this happens upon windows loading... And that's when it comes up with the black desktop with nothing but the Recycle bin.

I'm working on a crappy Dell all in one that I think it's an i3 with 4GB RAM, a gift to my client last year from a family member... Yes that's right, last year LMAO. Anyways it kept popping up with the annoying missing files error messages on Windows boot, have to click like twenty times before...

Thanks for the help guys.... Weird, when I turned it on to test, guess what, it booted right to Windows LMAO. Anyways, I reset CMOS and reseated all the hardware, cleaned the dust that was all over it (they have dogs and they never clean the inside of the PC and leaves it on 24/7), no errors on...

Hey guys.... working on a clients PC, and a bit weird here, havent had many issues over the years like this. You start the PC It freezes forever on the startup screen while it says press Delete or F2 for setup When you press either, no response but takes about 10+ minutes to get to to the BIOS...

Anyone?

Seems client is using the PC fine for the last couple of days with just the new vcard in there. Would still be curious to see if any preemptive measures should be taken about the boot up issue.

Any ideas? Was having some problems with video so replaced the vcard, system is booting and running fine but client had complained about an issue where at boot this type of image would pop up and not go to Windows. It is currently booting to Windows (and so far working flawlessly inside...

Hey man thanks for the super answer... u majored in engineering or some tech field didnt you LOL, this is how I would explain to someone else if the same question, so it is MUCH appreciated. Ok so I assume there is quality, and then there is gauge characteristics that I need to consider. So...

So cable quality is negligible? I could swear using the same ports that different cables had different performance.

Hey guys, happy holidays! I have what seems to be an Apple port (I have never owned an Apple product since the IIe and Mac Classic so forgive me) in my car's glove compartment. My ideal solution for music was to buy a new stereo with a USB port to insert a flash drive full of MP3's and...

Hey guys, happy holidays! I have suffered a sever conundrum on what is the best fast charging method for mobile/tablet devices. I just got the Nexus 6p and it is a pleasure to have its fast charging mode, which of course is limited by plugging it only directly into a wall connection, i.e...

I meant parallel, ya, I would need the max fan speed, thanks for clarifying. Of course the one 5V fan that offers over 40CFM only has a stated votage of 5V, but no "operational voltage" range like some other fans do in the spec sheets ugh... great. Sorry, how will static pressure be...

I can visualize that, but would love to know a equivalency formula where something I can calculate that 2x 5V 70 CFM fans = 1x 12V 150 CFM fan Know what I mean? And I guess with the 2 fans in series, that means the system is still at 5V but the amp draw is more = batteries will work...
