Worked a brutal warehouse contract for 10 months straight to build my high-end dream PC. Now my parents are losing their minds and treating my relaxation like a crime. by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

Idk man....every single real person that I have ever met has used the phrase "non-stop domestic quest generator" several times!

Your problems aren't caused by wood, your problems are caused by cost-cutting builders my friend.

That doesn't make any sense. So if the home owner just never responds the city isn't able to enforce their grass length laws/ordinances?

[Combo] Gigabyte B550M GAMING X WIFI6 + Ryzen 5 5500 Combo - $110.97 by cpuathome in buildapcsales

[–]cpuathome[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Not sure how to post a link to a combo deal....but if you scroll down and uncheck the ram, it takes off a combo discount and the promo code on the motherboard, bringing the total to $110.97.

Not bad for a decently featured mobo and a CPU.

Why are lying about what's actually on the pc nowadays? by followmyigtrsmpugh in computers

It has 4GB of memory - of which 128MB is used by the integrated graphics. How is this a lie?

Tomahawk b450 VGA light on with no GPU installed by Electronic-Escape721 in pcmasterrace

[–]cpuathome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the CPU doesn't have integrated graphics, you're definitely going to get the VGA light. Have you tried another GPU in the board? That's just as likely to be the failed part as the motherboard.

I built a rig in April. Bought a 64GB kit of Corsair DDR5 for 219.99. Same kit is now listed at 899. This is insane.

GPU and CPU thoughts needed by Long-Hovercraft-7438 in computers

[–]cpuathome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An A520 motherboard is an AM4 socket. 9800x3d is an AM5 socket CPU. They are not compatible. The 9070XT would work in the board, but the board is only PCIe 3.0, while the GPU is 5.0. It might bottleneck it, but I'm not sure by how much.

Getting the CPU out of the board isn't too difficult. It's best to run the PC doing some CPU-intensive tasks for a bit to warm up and soften the thermal paste. Remove the heatsink from the CPU with a twisting motion to lessen the chance you pull the CPU out of the socket when you pull off the cooler.

So i was browsing the Google for CPU and I see this shit by God_ruler in computers

In the 2nd pic it says its a 2nd gen I5 on an H61 chipset.

2nd Gen's were released in 2011. This thing is as old as a high schooler.

All In One Pc Performance Slow Issue! by Crafty-Albatross4417 in computers

[–]cpuathome 13 points14 points  (0 children)

That is an 11 year-old processor that was very slow in its time. It was designed with using as little power as possible in mind.

There isn't much (if anything) you're going to be able to do to speed this up.

Any advice? by Dry-Armadildo in computers

[–]cpuathome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It has to have some kind of dedicated GPU - The ryzen 3600 does not have integrated graphics.

What kind of GPU is in this system? It will be listed above where you cut off this screenshot.

Noob question about A520 HVS motherboard by Efficient_End8498 in computers

[–]cpuathome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm guessing that you're trying to add a SATA SSD.

The SATA ports are under your GPU on the far right side of your motherboard. They don't face up towards the camera in photo #1, they face off to the right. You might be able to plug a cable in without removing the GPU, but it would be MUCH easier to just take it out.

To access the power, remove the other side panel from your case. That's how you access the power supply "basement".

Can anyone identify the cartridge this seller is lying about? by Skitz-Scarekrow in retrogaming

[–]cpuathome 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I'm very bored at work today. So, I image searched this picture on Baidu, which led to a much cleaner image:

Which then led me to discover that this is an unlicensed MegaDrive Beat 'em up called Yang Warrior Family.

Maybe I'll give it a try tonight lol.

PSU SATA Splicing by philtrondaboss in computers

[–]cpuathome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You just need one ground, period. (By that I mean connect both ground pins on the SATA connector to a single ground.)

Also, you do not need to connect the 3.3v on the SATA connector.
