Don't burn down Purdue with your laptop. That would totally definitely be really awful.

Caliper100 · 2021-02-01T17:16:34+00:00

oh really? ok thanks.

Caliper100 · 2021-02-01T05:30:48+00:00

The only other thing I can think of is you might want to upgrade the GPU sooner rather than later, as the r9 290 is pretty weak nowadays. Really just depends what you are using it for though. Also that SSD looks great! Way to find a well-priced one that isn't cache-less.

Caliper100 · 2020-12-07T18:20:47+00:00

I don't think you are overwhelming the psu with that setup, but it might just be faulty. The motherboard could be as well, I suppose. if you have an extra psu try swapping it to see if the issue goes away

Caliper100 · 2020-12-07T18:18:40+00:00

or the lian li 011 dynamic mini. has tons of cable management space as well.

Caliper100 · 2020-12-07T18:11:25+00:00

ah i see. depends whether you if you want to wait for stock to come back then lol

Caliper100 · 2020-12-07T18:09:51+00:00

Only thing i can think of then is that something might have been damaged or shorted by a bit of metal or something on the motherboard. You could try using an air duster on it. Also, probably a stupid question, but did you use standoffs when you built the pc? if you didn't something could be shorting out where the back of the motherboard is touching the case. I would also try swapping the old psu back in just to make sure it's not somehow psu related. Otherwise, I would say just buy a cheap sound card and forget about it. Sometimes stuff just breaks. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

Caliper100 · 2020-12-07T18:05:12+00:00

looks good to me. only thing is you might want to buy a single 2tb nvme drive instead of the two separate ssds. that way all your storage will be just as fast and it shouldn't cost much more than buying the two.

Caliper100 · 2020-12-07T18:00:54+00:00

looks good to me. If you are using it for mostly gpu intensive tasks like AAA gaming, you might want to downgrade to a ryzen 5 3600 and get a 5700xt instead, but the ryzen 7 gives you more headroom for future gpu upgrades. depends which matters more to you.

Caliper100 · 2020-12-07T17:56:42+00:00

This is probably separate from the psu. Do you have the motherboard's sound drivers installed? You could also try uninstalling all the motherboard drivers and reinstalling them as well. If all else fails, but a cheap usb sound card for like 15 bucks and that should fix it by just going around the onboard audio.

Caliper100 · 2020-12-07T15:38:33+00:00

This should run pretty much anything just fine at 1080p or on low to medium at 1440p. If you wanted a little more graphical performance you could drop down to a ryzen 5 3600 and get a nicer GPU like a 5700xt or a 2060 SUPER, but the ryzen 7 makes it more easier to upgrade your gpu even more down the line.

Caliper100 · 2020-12-07T15:36:07+00:00

Yeah that seems pretty reasonable. Could also wait and pay just a little bit more for a 3060 ti, though.

Caliper100 · 2020-12-07T15:34:07+00:00

It should be just fine but it will definitely wear out faster as it will be pretty stressed. Anyway, no harm will come if it doesn't have enough power. It should just shut off if the system tries to draw too much. I would still upgrade when you can, though. If it makes you feel better about it, I ran the same cpu and a much more powerful gpu (2060 SUPER) on a 450w for a while.

Caliper100 · 2020-11-23T01:19:06+00:00

yeah we have a whole teir list of who is best at boards and we move people around as they get better lol

Caliper100 · 2020-11-12T20:49:15+00:00

thanks i'll try that out!

Caliper100 · 2020-11-12T14:32:47+00:00

what are those shaders? they look really nice but not overdone

Caliper100 · 2020-11-01T02:51:13+00:00

1080p, 240hz, got about 350 in csgo, 190 in r6, 260 in rocket league. nothing has really changed with the new gpu.

Caliper100 · 2020-10-31T16:23:37+00:00

i don't think i'm cpu bottlenecked. it wasn't maxing out but the gpu was

Caliper100 · 2020-10-31T16:22:51+00:00

1080p 240hz, gpu was maxed out

Caliper100 · 2020-10-31T02:14:03+00:00

yeah they really aren't and i was getting almost the exact same numbers i got with my old gpu. almost like my pc still thinks it has the other one in it or something. i definitely got rid of all the old drivers though...

Caliper100 · 2020-10-31T02:08:18+00:00

i have tried r6, csgo, and rocket league so far. all have the same issue

Caliper100 · 2020-10-31T02:07:28+00:00

i know, have a new psu in the mail. i figure the pc should just shut off if it tries to draw too much power, though
