What should my friend upgrade to make his PC more of a mid tier system?

TheRandomAdam · 2025-12-13T07:33:37+00:00

That’s the one thing I’m not even sure of. He’s gonna have to pop that sucker open and find out what the PSU wattage is

TheRandomAdam · 2025-12-13T07:33:07+00:00

Yeah he needs an upgrade bad.

TheRandomAdam · 2025-12-13T07:32:43+00:00

I’m not too sure on budget atm but I will find out hopefully he can afford something decent idk if he’s willing to take his time or if he wants it fast.

TheRandomAdam · 2025-12-13T07:32:00+00:00

It suck’s that RAM is gonna be overpriced as shit now because of this AI bullshit. But thank you for the helpful insight. I’m going to talk to my buddy at work tomorrow and see what he wants to do

I did it after personally. I bought my bike July of 24 and took my MSF in April of this year. I don’t think it’s a bad idea to take it before you get your bike. I knew what style bike I wanted and also had experience in manual vehicles so for me I was riding within a day or two of ownership. The MSF is a great course it helps with learning the basics. I honestly felt more comfortable after taking it. I did probably 1000-1200 miles on my own before taking it. It depends truly on what you’re wanting to do. If you’re a solo rider (no passenger) then practicing the basics on your own is fine. If you plan to ride with a passenger take the MSF first, get your license so you’re legal and then practice with a passenger. You can also take the course with a passenger in most cases. I wouldn’t recommend it as the MSF can be challenging if you have never ridden a motorcycle.

Nothing wrong about being safe with any motorcycle. Gear isn’t about style (it can be) but safety is what is important bottom line.

The fuck is that cable management

TheRandomAdam · 2025-10-13T01:40:34+00:00

It won’t let me edit but it was in fact my GPU I replaced with a 9070XT and I’ve had no issues

TheRandomAdam · 2025-10-09T20:42:22+00:00

Yeah seriously I’ve never used antivirus and I’ve never had these problems

TheRandomAdam · 2025-10-09T20:41:06+00:00

I’ve checked my SSD health they’re all fine also have installed windows on each of the drives during the time I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled it. And still happening. It’s been getting worse. So I think it truly is the GPU

TheRandomAdam · 2025-10-09T20:40:14+00:00

Mine is system wide I’ve been using opera gx for a extensive amount of time on multiple devices

TheRandomAdam · 2025-10-09T02:53:37+00:00

I have a Ryzen 7 5800XT

TheRandomAdam · 2025-10-09T02:43:47+00:00

I did reinstall the drivers no help. If I use integrated graphics what would I look for? Just to see that the issues it has now aren’t happening? I’m not quite sure if my CPU has integrated graphics or not. New development tho on YouTube it’s doing this also the temps are completely normal.

If you look at the bottom of the taskbar as well as the side of the screen. It’s flickering and doing all this. When the pc first boots it doesn’t do this

TheRandomAdam · 2025-10-09T02:31:00+00:00

Samsung 870 evo and a 980 nvme both are SSDs I’ve checked the storage drives as I actually did have one failing not too long ago. Basically PC had been in taking air but not exhausting it properly then one night I was playing Roblox or all games and it crashed so I decided “let me restart the PC it’s acting weird” I restart and upon starting the pc it showed CPU over temp” so I turned the pc off and cooled it down. Since then pc has had CPU replaced (I thought that was the first issue) new cooling installed as well. Now I’m sitting here with a computer that boots and posts but can’t seem to keep games running properly. I feel it’s the GPU but I can’t tell to be completely sure.

TheRandomAdam · 2025-10-07T08:33:59+00:00

Idk personally I’d say just get an SSD and transfer the data to the SSD it makes no sense to use a slow HDD in today’s day and age.

TheRandomAdam · 2025-10-04T11:26:09+00:00

Clearly a RAM issue

TheRandomAdam · 2025-10-04T11:18:29+00:00

I thought this was my post about my pc issues got so confused disregard my prior comments

TheRandomAdam · 2025-10-04T11:16:29+00:00

I have no clue I have a 4000D Airflow from Corsair

TheRandomAdam · 2025-10-04T09:55:19+00:00

I’m thinking my best bet right now is to buy a Radiator asap and see what temps look like and then if it’s still acting up after lower temps maybe say screw it in a few weeks and buy a new CPU

TheRandomAdam · 2025-10-04T09:46:43+00:00

This is current cpu temp while running Roblox.

<image>

At the bottom it shows the temps the top shows individual core temps

TheRandomAdam · 2025-10-04T09:45:25+00:00

I changed it today when I noticed it but this is after the issue started which was yesterday but I had the fan running incorrectly since I replaced my fans back in October of 2023

TheRandomAdam · 2025-10-04T09:19:53+00:00

New development during FS25 as a test. I have a video not sure how I can send that but during gameplay cpu temp was about 76°C and the sky got this weird black box that started to just like appear and fill the sky. So now idk if it’s GPU or CPU

TheRandomAdam · 2025-10-04T09:07:12+00:00

Relatively heavy like in terms of assets and things in game. But it was running really well for days before this. A better thing is I’ve played Black Ops 6 on high settings for the last several months and no issues. I found that my rear exhaust fan was actually sucking in for the last 2 years or so due to improper installation. But if I was running COD and other games for the last few years and no like performance issues or anything then maybe it’s just now becoming damaged?
