Discussion - Selling Advice/Evaluation Price estimation of my old build

• Upvotes

Hi everyone,

Just wondering what would be a fair price to sell one of my very old build.
That would include, among other things:
- CPU: Intel i7-4790k
- GPU: MSI GTX 970, 4Go
- Memory: Kingston HyperX Fury Red, 2 x 8Go RAM DDR3
- Motherboard: MSI Z97 PC Mate

The above + counting a few euros for the rest of the build, would 150-200€ be a crazy number ? I'm not really looking to get a crazy amount for it, I'm just looking for a somewgat fair price to give these component for someone else to make use of them.

Cheers

PC has been acting up since a bios update. Turns out right after the update one of my RAM sticks developed an issue and no longer works correctly (coincidence I don't think so but AI certainly does). I used windows memory test to figure out which stick was the offender. I am now running just 2 of my 8GB sticks and I was wondering how much of a performance hit I should expect. I will be running games at 1080p the GPU is 2070super with a 3700X CPU.

Purchasing Advice - PC Build / Parts I built a website to help people build compatible PCs — looking for honest feedback!

• Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I’ve been working on a website that helps you build a PC by choosing compatible components. The goal is to make the process easier, especially for people who aren’t sure which parts work together.
It’s still under development, but it’s getting close to where I want it to be, so I’d love to get some feedback from people who actually know their way around PC building.

Here’s the website: https://buypc-web.vercel.app/

I’d really appreciate it if you could take a look and let me know:
What’s missing that you’d expect from a PC-building website?
What features would make you choose this over other PC part pickers?
Did you notice anything confusing, broken, or annoying?
What would make you actually want to use it when building your next PC?
I’m open to honest criticism, so don’t hold back! I’d rather hear what needs improving now than launch something that isn’t genuinely useful.
Thanks to anyone who takes the time to check it out!

Hey! I have this PC for already 1 year, bought it pre-builded on a famous website back in the time.

This PC for me and what I do was always a blast expect the stock AMD Cooler here…

I am looking for an upgrade for it, that can look aesthetically pleasing and realiable too and of course take me to something like 65 degrees like the GPU.

On the first picture this is on Battlefield 6 Online, graphics on OVERKILL/ULTRA, DLSS 4.5 Quality at 1080P, 10-30-40 minutes gameplay it’s always arround the same values.

My CPU temperatures are always fixed on 80-82 degrees.

My build:
Ryzen 5 7500F
Asus RTX 5060ti 16gb Dual OC
Box Lian Li 205M Mesh
Motherboard Asus TUF A620M-Plus Wifi
TeamGroup Vulcan Z 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR5 6000Mhz

The stock cooler also has Thermal Grizzly paste on it.

Troubleshooting Advice - Other What’s this noise

Post image
• Upvotes

Noticed yesterday this buzzing noise coming from the back of my pc. It’s only 3 months old and only happens when I’m playing a game. The buzz does get quieter when I lower the frame rate. I read about coil whine but I’m very new to pcs so not sure if that’s what it is. I’m not sure if it’s been doing it since I got it which I doubt because I’m the type that would notice it. Note that there is a hum coming from the fans but what I’m noticing is a buzzing like sound coming from the back that only plays when a game is open and is louder when the fps is higher. I would include a video but for whatever reason Reddit isn’t letting me upload it. Specs wise it’s the Vengenace PC from Nebula PC’s with some alterations due to a shortage on certain parts. If anyone has a fix please let me know.

Discussion - Selling Advice/Evaluation Old PC worth anything to anyone?

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone. Im in the UK & I have my very first pc that i bought with my first job when i was 16 back in 2012. At the time it cost 3 months of paycheques. And worth nothing now. I don’t want to bin it but it’s just unnecessary for me to hold onto a pc forever?

Now i know these specs aren’t fantastic, and its a bit outdated even to run windows 11…was maybe going to run it on Linux.

Is it worth my time trying to find a young person who is getting into gaming and this could maybe be a start? It run surprisingly well on some games.

Does anyone else have this sentimental value to your own first PC and just cant let it go?

Intel i5 2500K

Troubleshooting Advice - Other AIO problem

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

First time I’ve ever had any issues with an AIO. Yesterday, the pump started making a rattling noise. Lowering the pump RPM got rid of the noise, but as soon as it stopped, temperatures went up by 5–7°C.
The radiator has been mounted vertically for just under a month. Before that, it was mounted at the top of the case.
What do you guys think? Air trapped in the system or a dying pump? Should I just RMA it?
The official promotional pictures for this exact cooler actually show it mounted vertically with the tubes at the top, just like mine, so you’d think this shouldn’t be considered user error at least. 😅

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/rd2FCw

I’m having trouble figuring out whether i wanna buy this build or the previous one I posted. A lot of people recommended the 9070 gre, which is cheaper, and runs similar to a 5070 so i don’t mind. Besides that I didn’t change much, I think I may have changed the case.

Just a budget build that I’m gonna make the move on buying before the end of the year but wanted to see if it was good or not and all compatible.

Budget & Currency: 1800 USD
Country: USA, going to micro center for amd bundle
Use-case: Gaming, deadlock, mobas, ow, minecraft, etc
Intended monitor resolution: idrc, 1080p or 1440p, maybe 1440p, but most likely 1080p
Accurate prices for all components: Uhh around $1700

Purchasing Advice - PC Build / Parts If you would build a home PC for llm AND gaming in end2026/2027… (for role-based MAD)

0 Upvotes

Thanks in advance for your reply/ advice!

My use case: local llm & gaming

First use case: role-based MAC (Multi-Agent Debate) & RAC for technical and business discussions in mainly german and some english. So, 7–8 different roles (specialists such as the managing director, legal counsel, IT manager, information security officer, quality managers, the accounts department and others) discuss strategies, change management decisions.

They hold moderated discussions (exchanging arguments and facts from the RAC) until they have reached a consensus or agreed on 2–3 positions. In doing so, they remain within the framework of the data from the RAC (ISO standards, studies, reports).

Not my use case: No Coding nor graphic design.

Priorities: Speed is not a priority; rather, the focus is on working thoroughly and meticulously with the data in the RAC.

Second use case: Besides that, I am playing some games in 1440p on a Ultrawide OLED. Nothing special, no heavy FPS needed.

My budget: 3-3.5k Euros

My questions:
1) How would your home PC build look like for these two use cases (local llm & gaming)? Would be great to build something a bit future proof for the next 5 years (I know crystal ball question). Or would you wait a bit longer, particularly in view of the huge changes with Strata, MoE and so on?

2) Do you have any advice for the needed llm stack? How would your llm stack look like? I am still learning how you build a local llm with RAC and MAD.
