Hey /r/buildapc - looking for last few thoughts from you guys in case I've missed something glaringly stupid with this build.

Build Ready:

Have you read the sidebar and rules? (Please do)

Yes

What is your intended use for this build? The more details the better.

Gaming and use of Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator

If gaming, what kind of performance are you looking for? (Screen resolution, framerate, game settings)

Double 240hz 1440p IPS monitors with main monitor at 141 fps.

What is your budget (ballpark is okay)?

Budget is what it needs to be. Price to performance matters, but also aesthetics and general flow of the build. The current "price" of around DKK 30.000,- equals just about USD 4300'ish

In what country are you purchasing your parts?

Denmark (and EU vendors shipping taxfree)

Post a draft of your potential build here (specific parts please). Consider formatting your parts list. Don't ask to be spoonfed a build (read the rules!).

Provide any additional details you wish below.

A few notes:

• I am aiming at building a certain aesthetic with this build. The Fractal North / Noctua colourscheme has been an idea for a while, ever since Fractal released the North. I am aware that there is strong competition to the NH-D15 out there, but for the noise level and the looks, it is included in the build.
• I would love to get some feedback on 1) the choice of motherboard and 2) the choice of ATX 3.0 PSU
• This is an absolute no RGB build.

Cheers for any and all input.

For argument's sake, let's say your entire battlestation disappeared. You have an empty room and you're prepared to spend a few thousand after building a new PC (tower/internals and monitor only).

Which battlestation elements would you buy top-of-the-line? Which would you get the most budget-friendly option for?

Consider peripherals but remember you don't have a desk, chair, lights (aside from one ceiling light), mousepad, etc.

-- I am putting together my dream setup and am very curious to see the opinions of r/buildapc!

Hi there,

I've had this problem for a while now and just recently looked into getting it fixed.

It all started when I decided to add my school account to my PC for homework, etc. But then later realized that I could just do it all online. So the account was pretty much useless to me.

Some time passed, and I wanted to remove the account from my PC. So, I went onto settings and disconnected my account from my PC and the account was still there.

Just today, I watched a tutorial on how to remove an account via CMD I followed the steps and the account came under 'WDAGutilityaccount', I tried removing it via CMD and nothing worked.

I then searched online and found online tutorials for it on Windows 10.

No, the account I'm trying to remove is not an admin account.

Any help would be very much appreciated!

hi all,

new to building pc's and am a bit clueless on why there are multiple RX7900XTX branded cards and why they differ in price.

for example, why should i look at a MSI Radeon RX 7900 XTX GAMING TRIO CLASSIC 24G for 1150 if there is also a PowerColor HELLHOUND AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX 24GB for 999?

are there really differences except the company that sells them?

should i watch for some specific brands and avoid some?

thanks in advance!

I have a budget of ~1400$ (but I'd have to buy a monitor, mouse and keyboard too).All my life I've been an Xbox gamer.Currently only my brother has an Xbox (Series S) so I'm not able to play too often.I don't play many games, maybe 2-3 at the same time, so I'm not a hardcore gamer.Should I buy one?Could I even get a good PC for this money that would give me consistent 120-144fps at games like COD, R6 and F1?

Is the 7900xtx overkill for 1440p?

Currently my setup is rtx 3070 paired with Samsung Odyssey G7 27" 1440p@244hz monitor. I'm pondering about upgrading to a bigger monitor, 32" 4k same brand... I guess a gpu upgrade would be required and thinking about either rtx 4080 or rx 7900 xtx (still need to research which is better for gaming).

I wonder though, is going from 2k to 4k as noticeable upgrade as going from 1080 to 2k? Feels kind of wasteful to get rid of my current setup this early in its lifespan (gpu and monitor is only 2 years old)

Have always only admired pc shops from a distance. Trying to build my first pc. I ll keep it short-

1. Purpose - Gaming at 4K60FPS. I play mostly story based games. Visual quality is important to me.
2. Divided over motherboard. (a) Asrock b650 pro rs (ATX) or (b) Asrock b650m pro rs (m-ATX). reason - the ATX board has 12+8+1 60A power stages vs 8+2+1 50A power stages on m-ATX board. Also the ATX has beefier heatsinks. Also GPU are extremely overpriced in my place. So might have to go the crossfire way in a few years. For this the ATX has secondary PCIE3x16(x4) at PCIE_3 position on the ATX board while it is at PCIE_2 position on the m-ATX board. The secondary PCIEx16 slot is connected to CPU in both motherboards.

I am open to NVIDIA GPU too. Though I know I won’t be able to combine two of them.

This is the build I have been able to plan so far -

Thank you for patiently reading this far. Thank you for any and all comments/suggestions.

I just bought a gigabyte aorus master 4090 and an MSI a1000g power supply. I've heard a lot about melting connectors with the 4090. How does one avoid these issues? I don't even know the specifics of the problem, just want to know if a solution has been found by the community.

I followed this guide and he just puts the MOBO on the standoffs that come with the case. Which is what I did. And the IO of the MOBO lines up with the case. But the GPU I'm using

• XFX Speedster SWFT 309 Radeon RX 6700 XT 12 GB Video Card

Doesn't click into the PCI slot, doesn't line up with the case. I'm deeply confused.

So I used my PC with no case, as i moved my motherboard the GPU slipped out of the slot, so the left side of the connector almost completely came out. The image froze, i plugged it back in and there was no display anymore.

The resistors seems fine the pins look okay, the only burnt part I can see is the one I circled

Currently using my x4 slot, and gpu working fine there.

Before anyone screams, I know the rule says single part but I'm technically seeking advice for 2 parts: CPU for tasks/tdp, and memory for stability. The rest of the system is already covered on my end.

Plan:

I want to build a 13700k PC (don't care for 14th gen) and have been looking at several mobos and DDR5 matches and could need some input. My current case is a Lian Li 011D Evo (with the front mesh) so I am limited to 360mm rads. Speaking of, I know it's still taboo but looking forward to stay with an AIO. (eyeing Deepcool LT720)

I've had my eyes on the following two mobos :

Z790 AORUS ELITE AX

ROG STRIX Z790-E GAMING WIFI

(I was initially going to settled for the I was initially going to settled for the MSI MAG Z790 TOMAHAWK WIFI but have read a lot DOA stories)

And memory:

CORSAIR Vengeance RGB 64GB (2 x 32GB) 6600mhz CL32 (CMH64GX5M2B6600C32)

G.SKILL Trident Z5 RGB Series 64GB (2 x 32GB) 6400mhz CL32 (F5-6400J3239G32GX2-TZ5RK)

Use:

Mainly for gaming. For context, I currently own an i7 9800x + 32gb 3600 cl16 + 3080 MSI Seahawk (10gb) (upgraded from a 1080ti). I realize it's PCIe 4 on a PCIe 3 mobo -- haven't really bothered me but I want to fully utilize it's raw power, even knowing there are better cards out there (not really looking to upgrade gpu yet).

I used to render 3D/Music/Video as a hobby during covid lockdown (worked from home so it was great), making use of the quad channel) and extra PCIe lanes, but lately, I find myself using my PC for games or streaming more than anything else with the occasional FLstudio/Adobe premiere. I'm tempted to go with a 13900k and undervolting it a bit for temps (don't really care for max FPS) but 13700k is apparently the sweet spot for gaming while still being able to render. Obviously, not planning on overclocking.

Question:

Would going with 6000mhz CL30 be just as optimal for gaming?

Would having 2 sticks vs 4 really make the system more stable?

Hynix A-Die or M-Die?

Are there usually deals during labor day or should I wait for black Friday?

Merci!

Title says it all, no matter what I did no matter what screwdriver I used I couldn’t get the last 3 screws out and now 2 out of 3 are stripped beyond a screwdriver being able to get them out. I don’t know what to even do anymore I’ve tried the rubber band method and I can’t even undo the aio radiator screws because whatever force put them on there put them on way too tight to the point where I’d need power tools to undo them… idk I’m just so lost :(

Hey y’all. I’ve had a prebuilt iBuyPower pc for 2 years and it’s now getting to the point where some of the hardware is gonna need to be upgraded. It runs fine, but the current GPU installed is bare minimum for some newer games at best, more recent releases it’s way below the minimum (Starfield specifically). I have no idea what I should upgrade to to keep it running well for newer releases. CPU seems like it’ll be fine for now, maybe memory will be an issue eventually? Really, I’m mostly looking for advice on what GPU’s I should look into, and what else might need to be upgraded to accommodate a more powerful GPU. I’m also open to suggestions on what other hardware could be upgraded.

Current specs: CPU: Intel Core i7-10700F GPU: AMD Radeon RX 580 Memory: 16GB DDR4 MOBO: ASRock B460M Pro4S/ac (Micro ATX) Storage: 500GB SATA SSD, 1TB 7200RPM HDD PSU: 600 - 650w? Checking that when I get the chance

Not a P4000, just a P400 with two zeroes. I got two of these tiny graphics cards for free from someone clearing out old tech. Are there any uses for them today? I feel like Intel integrated graphics are better than them now. Maybe a mini ITX office/productivity build? Let me know how you would use a Quadro P400.

I am using a 1080p VA panel from GIGABYTE (G27FC) and while it's good for shooters, it does not work as well for cinematic games and productivity (because of the resolution, low brightness, and color accuracy). I am considering upgrade to a 1440p IPS panel at a budget of 800 USD. Can anyone help walk me through some thoughts:

• IPS or OLED? OLED would be great for HDR and brightness, but I have never used HDR before in my life so I don't even know if it's worth it.
• 21:9 or 32:9? All decent 32:9 panels in my price range (that I can find) are VA, and I am concerned about the colors.
• GPU upgrade? My 3060Ti is doing well enough @ 1080p, but I am thinking that I may need to upgrade to the 4070 for the best 1440p experience with modern games.
• Should I just wait? Maybe I am being too hasty and I should hold off to wait for better stock.

If you have any good recommendation, I would really appreciate it. Currently, I have the MSI and LG IPS 2k monitors on my list (the ones recommended by Rtings).
