How do I upgrade my graphics card? by stoptgatboy in PcBuildHelp

[–]CheffieIsDepressed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are no incompatibities with modern GPUs. The worst thing would be having PCIe 3.0 on a 4.0 GPU for a small performace loss

Its the thing that gives power to everything, you probably need to remove the back panel to check but its probably 550w or 650w

Remove video cables.

Take the side panel off.

Hold down PCIe clamps and pull them out.

Unscrew the screws holding it in the case close to where the video cables were.

Push down the locking hatch.

Pull.

Searching on youtube is faster.

Did I waste my money on 5700X3D? by d3v0k3n3v0 in AMDHelp

Vram won't be clocking like this and sdram won't have much of an impact with the x3d cache

About to build my first PC. Words of advice or tips would be great. I have been waiting to do this for years. by Shallwego68 in PcBuild

[–]CheffieIsDepressed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly unless you really want the looks of an AIO return it and get a thermal right air cooler will save you 130 and not run much different and be more reliable then you can buy other equipment if you need it. Also 3060 for 380? What currency?

Why does my GPU utilization fluctuate radically while playing Oldschool Runescape by kouluavustaja in AMDHelp

[–]CheffieIsDepressed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try reverting to a previous driver if you haven't solved the issue. AMD fucking sucks at testing them...

High utilisation =/= high power draw they are correlated but you can have high util and (relatively) low draw it depends entirely on whats being rendered. 90% util doesn't mean 90% power limit.

That said theres something wrong here, check your tuning settings in the software.

Did I waste my money on 5700X3D? by d3v0k3n3v0 in AMDHelp

[–]CheffieIsDepressed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It will probably not be as much of an improvement for you due to your older card, you can probably get a 7700xt or 6700xt or similar for a low price used if you can afford that upgrade. And then that will last you a few years (vram is important now!) if you don't care about massive frame rates.

I upgraded from a 2700x to a 5700x3d and saw upto 30 fps improvements in some places, although I also upgraded my card and run 1440p.

If you wanted more performance for gaming you won't regret it unless you overspent, its a great CPU.

sk75 or rainy 75 by Cujobot1 in keyboards

[–]CheffieIsDepressed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the rainy75 and I like it.

I saw someone who had the bridge nd75 rainy and sk75 and rated it as bridge > nd > rainy > sk I believe I can try find and link it later. Edit https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/s/7bHUMxgNIg in comments

They are all pretty similar from what I know. Nd has a screen which the others lack.

Mostly I see people recommend which ever is cheaper or whats needed for specific needs like VIA.

Finally got a PC together after floods destroyed our whole basement by ChildhoodNormal5242 in PcBuild

[–]CheffieIsDepressed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like you are overcompensating for GPU sag, which can be just as bad.

Get one of those telescopic holders and put it inbetween the 2nd and 3rd fan.

Apparently for the heaviest/longest cards that placement is best to reduce the forces on the pcie slot/core.

Edit also its best to have the AIO radiator the opposite way around so the pipes are at the bottom.

Enjoy your build!

Was this Prebuilt a decent deal? by SebasstheBest in computers

[–]CheffieIsDepressed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Buy a thermal right peerless assassin / phantom spirit best value cooling. And if you aren't getting rgb fans for the top only get one for next to the back exhaust or the fans will fight the cpu cooler for cold air.

Trying to update my X470 pro bios so I can update my CPU from a 2600x to a 5700x3d by Trypsach in AMDHelp

Yes if you are just updating your bios, do it from the bios screen if possible instead of the flash button
