    WTB: Budget Gaming Laptop

    Kids are getting older and are switching from tablet gaming to pc gaming, looking for a laptop to travel with for them (possibly 2 so they don't fight over it, if prices are decent). We aren't home enough to justify a desktop. They currently use mine, but I often need it for work, but...

    WTB: Logitech G500

    My 12 year old G500 is getting to the point where it fails more often than not. I've tried a few other mice and none of them have the comfort of my beloved G500. I'm tired of playing guess-and-check with mice I know aren't going to live up to my expectations. Does anyone have a functional...

    WTB: Any super cheap 1151 motherboard (h110/b150/h170/z170)

    My dads PC stopped working. I swapped his i5-6500 into my z170 board and it worked fine, and swapped PSU/cables/ram/etc into his and it wouldn’t work. So I’m guessing his H110 board died and I’m trying to get him up and running for as little as possible. Looking for any working motherboard that...

    6900 xt won’t boot on PCIE1

    Just put together a new build with a MSI z690 Tomahawk DDR4, 12700k, and 6900 xt. GPU won’t show anything when plugged into PCIE1, but works fine on PCIE3 (Gen 5 x16 vs Gen 3 x4). Swapped an old 980ti into PCIE1 and it works fine. Any idea why the 6900 xt won’t work on PCIE1? Stress tested on...

    Looking for some pumps, res, soft tubing (prefer Primochill), radiator, maybe some fittings. I’ve got blocks already, but I need most everything else.

    PC glitches after several hours

    I’m on the most current windows update. Nvidia gpu with updated drivers. This PC is used as my Plex server. It runs 24/7. If I’m physically using the computer, it’ll run fine for hours on end without issue. When I shut the monitor off, the Plex server runs for days or weeks on end without issue...

    When do you need a dedicated DAC?

    I have two dedicated gaming PC's in the house, they are used strictly for gaming - no music, no movies, etc. At what point would a dedicated external DAC make a noticeable difference? Below are the MB specs listed on their websites, along with the headphones I'm using with them. Would either...

    I’m looking for something large to build in like the 800D/1000D, T900/W200, Etc. Open to anything, just looking for something large to build in for a change. Shipping will probably be a killer on big cases, so most likely local to WI/IL area.

    Strange scenario: Computer had a bunch of 500gb hard drives in set up as a pool in Windows 10. Computer was taken apart and drives all removed before the pool was un-pooled. Trying to use one of the drives now, about a year later, and it won’t initialize. It’s a single 500gb drive but still...

    EVGA 980 ti Hydro Copper question

    Does anyone know if this card has a LED lit block? I tried "googling" pictures of it, and it appears as though it does. Mine does not light up though. Just curious if something is wrong with the LED on mine or if they dont actually light up.

    WTB: Gigabyte 980 ti or any similar watercooled gpu

    My watercooled G1 Gaming 980 ti just died and I need a replacement. EK-FC980 GTX Ti WF3 appears to only work with non-reference Gigabyte cards so I either need a non- reference Gigabyte card or any card that already has a block. Also will consider a 1080 w/ waterblock or Vega 64 w/ waterblock...

    Which board for overclocking?

    Looking between the x370 Taichi and the x370 C6H. Currently running a 1700, looking to upgrade to a 3600 when they launch. Which of those 2 boards will do better for both cpu and memory overclocking (or are they pretty much even)?

    R7 1700 to Ryzen 3000?

    I have a 1700 running 3.9ghz all cores currently. The price was too good to pass up when building my PC, so I went with that cpu. Now that there's specs and a few preliminary benchmarks on the 3600, would there be enough performance difference to justify an upgrade? Gaming only, I dont think I...

    Question on ram overclocking

    I had a delidded (with liquid metal) 6700k running at 4.8ghz on a z170 Gaming 7 motherboard with 2x8gb Team ram. XMP put it at 3000mhz c16 with everything on auto. I picked up a z270x Gaming 8 motherboard (no real reason for it, just liked the looks better) and swapped my 6700k and ram over...

    Putting together a Ryzen 7 build, looking for some ddr4. Would like to find something fairly high speed (3600mhz+) with decent latency (c16 or less). Preferably something known to work with Ryzen. Looking for 2x8gb, will consider 2x16gb pending the price of it.

    Thermaltake Tower 900 - Fan setup?

    Running a 60mm thick 3x120 rad on either side in the back, with fans in push config for both (psu did not allow for 4x120 rad sadly). One is intake and one exhaust, so it's a straight crossflow of air. For the front half, I have a 140mm fan on top exhausting and a 140mm fan in the 5.25 bay for...

    4690k vs R5 1600?

    Currently running a 4690k @ 5ghz with 16gb of ddr3 @ 2400mhz. Looking to pick up a Ryzen 5 1600 (overclocked to whatever I can get) with 16gb of 3000mhz ddr4. The last time I ran AMD was a 965be, so I'm out of the loop. Assuming I keep the same gpu, what system would be better for gaming...

    What radiator fans?

    I currently have Corsair SP120 fans, and they're loud at full tilt. I want a new fan that cools at least as good as the SP120, but is much quieter. I have the option of 140mm or 120mm (I have both a Nemesis 480GTS and Nemesis 560GTS, I can use either). Is the 140mm fan going to provide better...

    WTB: Watercooled gpu

    Looking for a new gpu, preferably something that already has a full block on it. My old gtx 980HC died, I'd like to replace it with another watercooled card. What I'm hoping for is a decently priced 980 ti or 1070 with waterblock so I can take a step up. What I'd settle for is a cheap 980 with...

    What AMD gpu to look at?

    I'm replacing a GTX 980, looking to be at the very least equivalent to the 980 but preferably a little more performance wise. Been at least 5 years since I've looked at AMD cards, which one would be the equivelant, or slightly better, than the 980?

    Delidding question

    Two fold question: 1-Does anyone know what gains in overclocking are seen by delidding a 4690k? It is currently watercooled. 2-What does everyone recommend for paste on a delid? It's been years since I messed with it, is Conductonaut still the go-to or is there better?

    How much curve?

    I'm looking at getting an ultrawide. Curious what people think of the curve. They seem to range from the x34's 3800R down to the CF791's 1500R. I like the x34 for the gsync, but wonder if the 3800R curve doesn't give the immersive experience of the steeper curves. Is the 1500R too much though...

    i3-7350k for gaming?

    For a pure gaming build, that wont see any other usage, is the 7350k a decent cpu? Lots of reviews say it's not that great, but then have it compared against a series of i7's to show that it cant keep up. But who would be shopping a 7350k versus a 7700k at double the price? Amazon has it for...
