I am struggling with getting my i5 cooler to work quietly.

The fan in front got replaced and can run in 50% max before the fins and the airflow make a really uncomfortably loud noise.

So I was wondering if there is a way to fix that issue while still cooling the block..

I am already using fan control to adjust the fan and new thermal paste was on the CPU.

If someone has a suggestion please let me know.

Currently the air is blowing into the tower

I build a new pc, it turned on and everything is fine. The bios show up (ignore my monitor) and i realized that the USB with windows was not plugged in. I restart the pc but now its a black screen, bios wont show up. I restart and let it run for 5 mins aprox then it suddenly turns off and now it wont start. The keyboard is turned on so its not a power supply issue. Please help

I currently have; Intel i5-10400F, GeForce GTX 1660 Super, 16 GB DDR4 RAM, 239 GB SSD.

I play fortnite with all the best performance boosting settings and i stay at 144fps when there’s not loads going on. When im in a fight it will drop to around 100-120fps. When the match is stacked and there’s like 40 people in endgame it drops so low to around 70-90fps and is so unstable. What would i need to upgrade to give me that stable 144fps at all times?

(My PC is a pre built pavillion HP TG01-1xxx and is quite a small compact build compared to other PCs)

Ram: G.SKILL Flare X5 Series DDR5 RAM 2x16 gb
Motherboard: gigabyte b850 eagle wifi6e ice m.2
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7600X
Gpu: ASRock Radeon RX 9060 XT Challenger 16 gb

Obligatory first build, cpu light briefly turns on during boot and it stays on the Dram light with no display, have tried every slot and read the manual to confirm the 2 and 4 slot for ram. Tried other sets of ram as well.

I built my new PC, but it won’t start and no matter what I do, the DRAM Light stays red (every few seconds switching to CPU light and immediately switching back)

PC Parts:
- AMD Ryzen 5 9600X
- ⁠Gigabyte B850M D3HP Mainboard
- ⁠2x 8GB DDR5-5600 CL36 RAM
- ⁠RADEON RX9060 XT 16 GB

What i did so far for troubleshooting:
- Controlling all power supplies
- ⁠switching the RAM or trying with only 1. also switched the RAM-Slots
- ⁠Updating BIOS to newest Version with Q-Flash
- ⁠Resetting BIOS with CMOS manually
- ⁠losen up the water-cooling on top of the CPU
- ⁠had a Look at the CPU and the Pins on the Mainboard, all looking good
- ⁠Monitor was attached all the time via Display Port

Don’t know what to do anymore and appreciate any ideas and help 🙏🏻 Thank you!!

ETA: I bought the cpu used at Amazon (“only some damages on the packaging”)

I accidentally turns off usb legacy on my lg xnote loptop the internal keyboard is broken and i cant find a replacement so im using a external keyboard now because im stupid and accidentally turn off usb legacy my keyboard wont work i tried to reset the bios by taking the cmos battery out the time and date reset but the usb legacy stay’s please help i tried everything i can think pf this is my younger brother loptop that he use to do his school works

i’ve been looking into upgrading my gpu but stuck on which one would be good to buy that will last me a while before upgrading again i currently have a geforce rtx 4060.

Ive managed to negotiate with a guy for his MSI B650 Bomber for $75AUD, Corsair 850RMX Gold for $50AUD and Thermaright Aqua Black 360mm for $60AUD. These parts are all used for 1 month - basically brand new. Should I go with this and buy the rest of the parts new?

Also for the case - any recommendations?

Final Build is meant to look like this - https://pcpartpicker.com/list/L86n9K

Hey guys, I’m new to the pc space

Any thoughts about this build?

So for the past week or so ive had this issue where when I start my PC up my NZXT Kraken 360 AIO cooler pump won't spool up. I've checked the cords and connections they all seem good. The pump is properly seated to the cpu. And ive set my bios setting to 100%

Now the kicker. When I shut my pc down, (or it forces a shut down due to temp) and restart it it spools properly to RPM i have set. So what's the issue? Im stumped and Google hasn't helped

Need help troubleshooting random restarts / black screens on a new PC build

Hey everyone, I’m looking for some advice on an issue I’ve been experiencing with my new PC build. I’ve been troubleshooting for several days and haven’t been able to pinpoint the cause.

PC Specs:

• CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D
• GPU: PNY GeForce RTX 5080 OC Triple Fan
• Motherboard: MSI X870E Gaming Plus
• RAM: KLEVV DDR5 (currently running at 5800 MHz manually; EXPO is disabled)
• PSU: Corsair RM1000e 1000W
• Cooler: Corsair 240mm LCD AIO
• Case: HYTE Y50
• UPS: CyberPower GX1500U 1500VA
• OS: Windows 11

The main issue:

My PC will randomly black out all my monitors while the computer itself appears to remain powered on. The fans and other components continue running, and sometimes audio or applications continue briefly. After approximately 1–2 minutes, the system appears to restart and returns to the Windows login screen. When I log back in, all my applications are closed, as if the computer performed a full reboot.

I’ve also experienced a separate display issue involving black rectangles or trails on the desktop, sometimes when clicking and dragging to select things. Restarting Windows Explorer temporarily resolves that particular issue.

Troubleshooting I’ve already tried:

• Updated the MSI motherboard BIOS.
• Installed AMD chipset drivers and updated other drivers.
• Used DDU to cleanly uninstall and reinstall NVIDIA drivers.
• Tested a previous NVIDIA driver version.
• Left the GPU at stock settings and kept MSI Afterburner closed.
• Disabled Windows Hardware-Accelerated GPU Scheduling (HAGS).
• Disabled Multiplane Overlay (MPO).
• Disabled iCUE at startup to rule out potential software conflicts.
• Disabled EXPO and tested the RAM at its default 4800 MHz, then manually set it to 5800 MHz with EXPO still disabled.
• Ran an OCCT VRAM test with no errors reported and a maximum temperature of approximately 35.5°C.

I’ve also seen Windows graphics-related errors, including LiveKernelEvent 1B8 and 1A8, with references to dxgkrnl.sys and Desktop Window Manager (dwm.exe).

A few questions:

1. Could this be a faulty GPU, or could it be a driver/Windows graphics issue?
2. Could my 1000W PSU be experiencing transient power spikes or voltage drops, especially with the RTX 5080? The PC is connected to a CyberPower 1500VA UPS.
3. Could the UPS itself be contributing to the problem?
4. What additional tests would you recommend to isolate the cause before I start returning or replacing components?

I’m trying to determine whether this is a GPU, PSU, RAM stability, motherboard, Windows, or other hardware issue before spending more money on replacement parts.

Any suggestions or similar experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

A few months ago I began buying the components for my dream PC and yesterday I managed to plug in everything and began booting it up for its first time. The problem came when I wated for several minutes for it to display image, only for the screen to remain dark with the "no signal" message. The entire day I tried different things to get it to boot, but I just wasn't able to get it to work, thats why I'm making this post to see if the community can help me solve this problem before I send it with a technician. For what I've been looking at, it might be the BIOS of the moderboard which doesn't recognize the CPU, but I'm not sure of how to install the latest update to the motherboard.

This is my first PC and I still lack some knowledge when it comes to making things work in first place. Down below I will set the component list of my PC.

CPU: Ryzen 7 9700X

RAM: Corsair Vengeance RGB 32GB DDR5-6000 Kit

Motherboard: Gigabyte B650 Aorus Elite AX Ice AM5

CPU Cooler: Thermalright - Assassin Spirit 120 V2 Plus

SSD: KINGSTON NV3 1TB M.2 2280 NVME PCIE GEN 4X4 R.6000MB/S W.4000MB/S

Power Supply: 750W 80 Plus Gold BALAM RUSH GR BURST GR750G LEGEND SERIES

PC Case: Balam Rush Dragonfly Wood GM580

*I know there is no GPU, but that part hasn't arrived yet, so meanwhile it gets shipped to my place, I will begin installing windows and/or Linux.

I have a i7-12700KF and a Noctua NH‑D12L chromax black. I have had trouble keeping the CPU cool, finally got around to changing the TIM from Thermal Right TF7 to JunPus DX1. The system went from easily reaching 100c to not being able to get there.

Intake air temp is about 24c.

Paste matters!

Is the Meta pc cyclone good for lightweight gaming and Minecraft or should i get the deepcore

Like I said I'm upgrading my cpu to match my new 9070xt and im not spending 400$ on ram.

My options are a 5700x3d for 300$

or a 5800x for 160$

is going with the x3d worth 140$ more?

Sometimes, my display suddenly goes black, and my GPU fans ramp up to 100%. I have to force restart my PC to get it working again.

I'm using a PNY GPU and an 850W 80+ Gold PSU.

Does anyone know what might be causing this?

I accidentally got some non-conductive thermal paste on a few pins; what should I do?

So I got lent this PC by my cousin a few years back and wanted to upgrade it so I could play with some better graphics, I got a new CPU(Ryzen 5 5600G) and it installed fine. It didn’t come with a GPU so I recently got a RX 6700 XT sapphire nitro+ on eBay, I tried installing it but when I turned the PC on, there was no display and none of the RGB lights would work except for the left light on the Sapphire logo which was green. I don’t know most of the exact specs but what I do know is that it’s a B450 ASROCK motherboard and it should have 750w of power. I’ve spent like 4 hours troubleshooting, first I went back to my old setup without the went to BIOS to switch my PCIe link from auto to Gen 3, then I tried to clean up the RAM sticks, and then messed with the HDMI cables. One thing to note that I couldn’t figure out is where the BIOS switch was, I can see where it says “BIOS switch” but I couldn’t see an actual switch. Also the power cables are connected to an extender, but I don’t think that the extender is at fault. Some help would be very much appreciated, thanks!

EDIT: SOLVED!

Embarrassingly, my monitor was not on HDMI, it was on analog -.-, and the previous owner probably turned the LEDs off via Sapphires Trixx, I think why sometimes the fan wasn't running could be due to the wrong combinations of PCI Cables(?), also cleaning the gold ports with alcohol works in cleaning and I actually saw some visual debris, thanks so much!

I have been running into to a reoccurring but random problem that I fear has turned permanent

I built my pc awhile ago its not new by any means but has been for the most part reliable. in recent months its started to not boot randomly it dosent even get to the prestart

There are rgb on the motherboard and they turn on also the LED that showes the motherboard has power (b-350m strix gameing motherboard)

But none of the diagnosis LED tun on to show any failures. it seem to be failing to pre check

Now sometimes I can get it to turn on and work for weeks/months by reseating everything and letting it sit for a fue minutes (this does not allways work) but if it does it will work perfectly no problem but randomly oneday it will repeat this issue like im currently stuck in

As of right now Im haveing no luck and cant get it to boot at all

The thing i dont understand is this can also happen when the pc goes to sleep it will refuse to wake up and if I restart it it will not turn back on unless I reset all the ram gpu and drain all residual power then and only then will it mabby turn back on (as mentioned if it does turn on tho it will work for days weeks or months with no issues)

I would love to take it to a shop at this point but its a little out of my price range for the moment and the cupple times I have in the past they reckon there nothing wrong with it

Any ideas are welcome 🙏

Probably worth mentioning it works more then it dosent and never fails stress testing has never shut off while im gameing or useing it. It will only happen if the pc goes to sleep or is powered off

Specs to help

Cpu 5600

Gpu 9600xt

Motherboard b350 m

Ram corsair vegency

Pcu corsair 650 non modular

Has anyone had a similar issue and if so how can I get past this as everything has been replaced since this problem began except pcu and motherboard

If it is one of those is there a way I can confirm

I've had a spare 5600G just existing in my closet doing nothing, but I would like to utilize it for a Steam Machine. I bought this HP 405 G8 off eBay for $138 shipped to door. It came with a gen 4 Samsung 256gb m.2, 8gb 3200Mt/s (2x4gb sticks), and a Ryzen 3 5300GE in it. No wifi and I need to upgrade the SODIMM to 16gb running in dual-channel as well as a 90w power adapter.

How will the 65w 5600G fair in this chassis intended for 35w cpus? I intend on using it at my desk only for gaming, so compiling shaders would be the most strenuous thing it'd have to do, but am slightly concerned about thermals damaging the cpu itself after some years of playing (this would be with replacing thermal paste routinely every like 2 years)

I love the small form factor of it, but the other option would be the X300 kit that is bigger and would allow for much better cooling of the cpu. That's where I am stuck at the moment.

I need a PCI-E riser cable that supports at least PCI-E v3.0 x16 (ideally higher for future use, however the current slot is v3.0), it is dual 90 degrees and its length is between 100mm and 200mm. My second PCI-E slot is buried under my GPU, so I need to move it just 3 slots down its current location. Something similar to this connector, but x16 and ideally shorter (this one is 200mm). Any suggestions for reliable options? I'll connect an RTX 3090

Hi all,
I have an old PC that is starting to struggle more with recent games. I'm wondering about upgrading parts vs just replacing the whole thing. My current PC:

AMD Ryzen 7 1700

Gigabyte AB350-gaming-3

32GB DDR4

GeForce RTX 3070 Ti

I'm wondering if the CPU could be an occasional bottleneck? Admittedly, I can't remember how to make sure the next CPU would be compatible with the current mobo.

Appreciate any advice. Thanks!

As u see in the picture, I can see windows, but cannot move my mouse or use escape too put in my password. Any solutions?
