Purchased a Asrock Challenger 9070 non XT for a build I’m doing out of spare parts for my wife and had a coupon for Microcenter so I got it a tiny bit below original MSRP. Emphasis on tiny haha 4.70$ to be exact but hey I don’t think it will be any cheaper for prime day or anything for a standalone GPU TBH so I went ahead and bought it for 545.30$! Here’s the full build if you are curious https://pcpartpicker.com/list/yRYJMF
Hello I’m looking into purchasing a GPU for my wife’s pc and was wondering if the 9070 is the best option under 600$ I was looking at the 9060xt 16 gb and Rtx 5060 TI 16GB but those models aren’t that much cheaper than the 9070 and was hoping to get Somthing pretty good cheaper but that’s not looking to promising the cheapest 9060XT 16 GB is 420.00 is 560$
Hello I am trying to get windows 11 installed into my pc and it’s not as simple as I thought it would be. I am using a m.2 ssd from another pc I had and I think that is the problem maybe? I believe I might have found out where it’s messing up. On the page in the photo only the SSD is supposed to be listed for the install to work correctly right? What do I need to do?
Hello I’m trying to install windows 11 onto my pc and after I start the installation the pc goes to a blue screen and starts the installation. After it loads for a while it says my pc is about to restart and it restarts then it comes up with a screen that says the message below. So I remove the usb drive and hit no and the pc restarts and loads into the bios. What do I need to do next? It’s a gigabyte gaming B 850 motherboard if that matters
Hello I am in need of some help here. I was attempting to remove some parts from my pc to use on another build (the ram and CPU cooler and GPU) and use the ram I got from a microcenter combo on the one I removed the better ram from. After installing the corsair Ram into the old motherboard and removing the GPU I can’t get that PC to post now. I get a red VGA light. The motherboard is a gigabyte gaming ax v2 the cpu is a ryzen 5 7600x and I removed t force 32GB cl 30 and installed the corsair 32GB cl 36 kit and the GPU I had installed was the Asrock 9070xt steel legend. I tried installing the GPU again, reseating ram, only using 1 stick, going back to the t force ram, resetting cmos battery. I’ve tried having the monitor plugged into the GPU as well as the mobo and that didn’t help either. The pc turns on for a minute all the fans turn and it cycles through the post lights then turns off and the cooler fans stay colored but don’t spin. What else should I try troubleshooting?
Hello I purchased the 9800X3D bundle from micro center today and thought th price breakdown after the bundle discounts was kinda interesting. The big one being the cpu being discounted to 201$ is pretty crazy I thought. I am going to use the CPU and Mobo in my main build and use the ram in a pc for my wife just have the GPU left to get for it. Hopefully there will be some minor discounts for prime day next month or Newegg or Best Buy I can grab a decent one for her. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/cBW7Xf
A local seller on FB marketplace is selling a 9060XT challenger for 275 is it a really good deal? They said they had it for 6 months and just wanted to upgrade. It would be a GPU to slot into a PC I am working towards putting parts together for my wife.
What is a current fair price to sell my 3DS XL yveltal edition? It works perfectly and I have the original box and charger, manual, camera cards and Pokémon sun the game as well. It has some cosmetic wear on the outside area including some scuffs on the bottom part. The screen is in really good shape I just need to clean it up a bit. I don’t ever play it and it has been in the box in the closet for a very long time so I figured I would see what I could sell it for either on my local Facebook marketplace or eBay if I don’t have any interest on there. Thanks for any input
Hello I am interested in selling my old PC I built in 2018. The specs are CPU: I5 8600K motherboard: ASUS Z390-E Ram: 16 GB t force DDR4. It has 2 sata SSD’s 1 500GB Samsung 970 and another one that’s a Samsung 980 250GB I think. The GPU is a EVGA GTX 1060 6GB. It has a 650watt EVGA PSU and the case is the cooler master H500P mesh. I’m just curious if I am in the ballpark or overpriced. I understand that everyone is very old and there is no upgrade path. It does work very well and have never had any issues with it
Decided to swap cases the other day since most of my parts are white. Now I want a white back connect motherboard though haha. Maybe one day when I upgrade the CPU. What do you guys think? Last two pics were the old case the Montech XR. It was a pretty good case just wanted Somthing white and a bit more modern looking
Hello I was wondering what your opinion’s are about possibly buying a used motherboard online? It looks like it is fine from the pictures but I don’t know if it would be worth the risk. It is 52$ cheaper than a brand new one on Amazon.
Hello I just swapped cases to the Lian Li V100 and my exhaust fan appears to be spinning slower than the other fans on the same daisy chain connection. I checked to make sure all the connections are pushed together properly and it still appears slower. Do I need to separate and connect it to another fan header to be sure? I’m not having any issues with temps or anything it just looks odd and I’m wondering if it’s something I didn’t do properly for the swap
Decided to swap my PC case to a white case as most of my components were white already. Pretty happy with how it turned out but gotta do some more cable management when the weekend comes to line everything up really good. The Lian Li V100 is an excellent case for the money in my opinion. Only two minor issues were I was unable to use the included GPU support bracket on either motherboard slot the middle one would block my PCIE retainer clip for my GPU and the far right position would block one of the fans on my Asrock 9070XT steel legend. The other thing is the 3 case fans had the wiring exposed on the inside of the case with the daisy chains so I relocated them to the back out of sight. I would definitely give this case a solid 4.5 out of 5
Swapped cases from the Montech XR to Lian Li V100 white and wow does it look good in my opinion. I figured most of my components are white so it would make more sense to have a white case as well. I would give the case a 4.5 out of 5 as I was unable to use the included GPU support bracket unfortunately as the main spot would have blocked my PCIE retainer clip and the one on the far right motherboard slots would have made the support block one of the fans from spinning on my Asrock 9070XT Steel Legend. I also relocated the fan wiring to the back and that is a bit of an oversight from a well known brand but was easily fixed. Have to do a bit more cable management when I get a chance. This case offers very good value given the quality and everything that is included
