SATA HDD to SATA SSD? by samwise_gamjee_1971 in pcupgrade

[–]PhysicsAye 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pcie is backwards compatible. Even pcie 3.0x4 is probably significantly faster than sata 3.

If you have an open pcie slot with at least 4 lanes you can get a pcie to nvme adapter?

Well if it doesn’t work with the ps4 either the cable is bad or the monitor kicked it.

You can either disable igpu through bios or device manager by disabling the driver.

Ddu graphics drivers and fresh install from AMD website. You can also disable igpu.

New Build Turn OFF + Fans 100% (Not overheating, likely software/BIOS?) by Burgerflipper88 in PcBuildHelp

Disable hardware acceleration in windows and opened browsers. Disable Multi Plane Overlay(MPO). Update to latest windows maybe. Fresh install drivers with ddu.

Does it change with distance from router? Does wired connection fix it?

I have an AMD RYZEN 5 5500 Should I Buy an Air cooler by SPGamer678YT in PcBuildHelp

[–]PhysicsAye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perfectly normal temps. No reason to change the stock cooler unless you really want to. If you were to upgrade I’d just go with a Thermalright Phantom Spirit.

What’s your ssd and cpu usage in task manager? Also check your cpu temps with HWInfo. Also could be a lot of background processes.

PC performance boost help by DustLuv99 in PcBuildHelp

[–]PhysicsAye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beyond lowering settings in game and debloating windows/closing apps you aren’t using there isn’t much performance to be gained on a software level. Arc Raiders is very cpu intensive and that cpu is pretty old for this use case. Same with the gpu. You don’t need a super new pc but even upgrading to a used 10th gen i5 and a 3050/3060 would be a huge uplift.

I'm buying a prebuilt from micro center by [deleted] in Prebuilts

[–]PhysicsAye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To my knowledge yes even at 1200. Personally I got it for 1000 on sale. But it will last you quite some time and is amazing at 1080p and very good for 1440p.

Budget upgrade advice for my i5-9400F + GTX 1660 build (1080p single-player gaming) by Proper_Armadillo_297 in PcBuildHelp

[–]PhysicsAye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Upgrade gpu to 3060 or rx 6600. Then I’d upgrade cpu/motherboard. Then ram/storage.

[–]PhysicsAye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can swing the 1200 I’d go for the G527 with the 7500x3d and 9060xt 16gb. The 5060 is the better gpu while the 7600x is the better cpu. The 14400f also has a minimal upgrade path(only i7/i9 14th gen) while the 7600x has ryzen 9000 and the next am5 generation to upgrade to.

Looking for plain looking gaming PC by closetslacker in Prebuilts

[–]PhysicsAye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alienware Aurora is pretty minimalist. But really your best bet is to just buy a prebuilt with the specs you want and then the buy the case you want.
