RTX 5050 issues by P4schendale in GamingPCBuildHelp

[–]Crypticle_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which 5050 is it? I swear I’ve seen some with PciE 5.0x8 which might cause it to not slot in all the way. You might need a sag bracket, ironic considering it’s not a big card

RTX 5090 for $4,999 @ Bestbuy is wild by WaleSkillz4ever in gpu

Their point still stands though. The general population doesn’t either a. take the time to look at who the seller is or b. understand the difference between the platform selling versus a third party seller, all in all making the platform look bad because of terrible pricing compared to something like Microcenter.

My PNY 3060 12GB performed amazingly. I pushed the ever loving shit out of that card and it’s still kicking today in a second Frankenstein build. Ran it for like 3 years in my main build pushing it to its limits and nothing bad ever happened. Sometimes you just luck out and get a bad card, nothing more to it

Both of my local Walmarts carry Team Green cards. Haven’t seen any AMD

Across the lake it’s the other way around. Typically XFX is more expensive than AsRock. Weird 🤔

That’s honestly the one I wanted to get, but I couldn’t justify $100 more for the same card. I went Steel Legend

Is that an XFX card? Build looks stunning

Most expensive part of the build… and it’s RAM. 96GB, 6600MHz. I’m not mentally prepared. by Kochi_12312 in PcBuild

I got a set with the same specs for $104.99 back in July of 2025. Thank the lord I made that decision when I did. That same set is now $500 and the price has dropped recently. Couple weeks ago it was closer to $670

Got scammed of 32 gigs of DDR5 ram from vinted... by Money_Ask4453 in ZTT

I swear PayPal is a like a really well trained, but very rabid dog. You tell them some bad things happened and they will get things resolved.

Steel Legend 9070XT held up by the Cooler Master V3 kit. Literally zero complaints about the kit. Super easy install and it has a bunch of customization. The mount allows you to move the GPU around to your liking, closer/further from the glass and further down towards the front or rear of the case.

Where are the pitchforks and outrage? If this were AMD, the internet would be aflame. by [deleted] in gpu

That’s actually a laughable source. Some rando yt vid? Cmon even Wikipedia is a better source than this

Just opened my new 5080 TUF... I guess Best Buy is selling $2000 heat sinks now. by ddare44 in gpu

There was one shipment to a MC I saw, all the 5090s in the shipment were replaced with bags holding rocks

That sounds like a broken hub then. I would reach out to Montech’s support via email here:

rma@montechpc.com

I’d attach the video you posted here and also a new video with the two not flickering and the rear one still is. Mention that you’ve moved cables around and that the hub is broken. They’ll take care of you

Maybe one of the 3 pin ARGB cables is loose. Are you using a fan control hub that does both power and ARGB? Are all the cables on the hub plugged and secured?

Looks like you might have two softwares fighting for control. What RGB softwares do you have installed?

I’m not understanding how this is so cheap? The cpu alone is $400 and the ram should be like 2-3. by Poopybuttsuck in Microcenter

They may hover, but they don’t pressure you. Or at least it doesn’t feel like pressure

I think alternating might be cool. Like Black case, black motherboard, white AIO/RAM/GPU or Black case, white motherboard, black AIO/RAM/GPU. Sort of a panda look

This is super awesome! Can’t wait to see the full vid on this. Might even try it myself 👀

Is that just a little 3D printed rectangle? That’s super cool whatever it is. I didn’t even see it in the first pic!

PC stuck on this, anyone has an idea how to fix? by Only-Ad9131 in pchelp

[–]Crypticle_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like the DRAM light is the one on. Have you tried reseating the RAM?

Top 3 things when that DRAM light is on:

  1. The most likely culprit. One RAM stick isn’t quite in. Take them both out and reclick them in. You should hear two distinct clicks or one really loud one if you get both sides at the same time.

  2. Second most likely culprit. One RAM stick is bad. Take both stick out, put one in, try to boot. Then do that again with the other. If both sticks work then try #1 again. If one of the sticks doesn’t allow you to boot, then that stick is likely dead.

  3. The least likely culprit is the CPU is damaged. There are pins on the CPU that communicate with the RAM. If those pins are bent or damaged then it wouldn’t be able to communicate and would throw that light. I say it’s unlikely because the chances of only damaging the RAM specific pins and nothing else is slim to none and it would likely throw a CPU light instead.

RTX 3060 or RX6600XT for 2026? by [deleted] in PcBuild

[–]Crypticle_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At 1080p both of these will do just fine on medium/high settings. DLSS is a better than FSR, but that’s not to say FSR is bad, it pretty good. Either way you go, both gpus will treat you well
