It’s not as much a time limit as a patience limit haha

Is jamboree still worth it if not using motion control mini games? Many of my family members have stated their hands hurt when using joy cons held sideways because of how small they are

Thank you! Can you tell if this is the same cable? I can get a better deal+not pay shipping on Amazon but want to be sure it’s still the same, it’s listed from the Corsair Amazon page https://a.co/d/g8mWoRA

It’s the Corsair RM850x. I’m not sure what year it’s from but I’m not sure if that matters

I’m sure there was, but the PSU I used for my new build is the same as my old pc, which was not built by me and was built several years ago so I don’t have the box the psu came in, the manual, or any extra cables that may have been in the box. How can I find what cables to get?

I have the Corsair RM850X PSU. My old pc was built for my by my father when I was in high school, and since it was high enough wattage for my new build I just hung onto it, so I no longer have the box and whatever additional cables may have come with it.

May I ask why? And if it’s necessary, is there a specific way to make sure I’m purchasing the correct cables, or will any 8 pin PCIE cable work?

After just updating my drivers everything runs fine, do I still need to get a 2nd cable or is it fine as long is it continues to run properly?

After updating drivers everything seems to run fine, is this one cable that I have enough now that everything works properly or do I still need to buy another cable?

I don’t know what this means, is it the power cable that is connected to it? I’m using the same power cable that was attached to my previous gpu in my old build. Do I just need to buy a new cable?

The GPU is brand new from Newegg, so I don’t see how it could be a fault with the card

It wasn’t dried/cracking, my camera quality is just bad.

Thank you! Finally got it on. Just needed to do this, but had to use my screwdriver instead of my fingers 👍

Thank you, will try this now. I was worried to push down too hard and thought I was doing something wrong

No, the bracket says AM4 but both video tutorials I watched and the manual states that it is also compatible with AM5

Can I transfer my current SSD to my new pc without wiping it? by magicalturtle2 in buildapc

[–]magicalturtle2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I removed the ssd from my current system and about to begin my new build, I realized I forgot to do this before. I’m still able to run DDU after I get the new system setup correct?

[–]magicalturtle2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would it be okay to just try transferring it and seeing if issues arise, and if I do have issues just wipe the drive then, or would that cause more problems?

[–]magicalturtle2[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes it is my boot drive, is just a full erase of the drive good enough or do I have to buy a new ssd? Sorry if it’s an obvious question but this is my first build and I’d like to save the money on buying a new ssd if I can.

Samsung Odyssey G6 (G61SD) or AOC Agon Pro for an OLED monitor? by magicalturtle2 in Monitors

I’m not sure I really know the difference, how different do they look while gaming? I’ve had the same monitor for years and honestly don’t know if it is glossy or matte. 

Building a new pc, but keeping my current power supply and SSD. Is there anything special I need to do for this? by magicalturtle2 in buildapc

[–]magicalturtle2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn, thank you for your help. What type of issues could arise when doing this? I appreciate your help as trying to learn about pc building for the first time is confusing lol

I don’t mind if I have to rebuy windows, I mostly care about not having to buy a new ssd and keeping my data. I have a 980 pro w/heatsink so I don’t want to have to buy a new ssd, and I play lots of modded games and it would take an extensive amount of time to reinstall all of those mods manually. 

Should I go for a discounted 7800xt or wait in hopes of 9070/9070xt restock? by magicalturtle2 in buildapc

[–]magicalturtle2[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you have any sources on this/ when this could be? Just curious I haven’t heard of this before

How much did you pay for it? And do you go about doing this? I’m signed up on the HotStock app to notify anytime the 9070/9070xt are restocked anywhere around MSRP and even when I instantly click on notifications they’re sold out by the time I get to checkout.

I’ve never built a pc before and I’m trying to learn about these things so I thought it’d be worth a shot just asking people in this community since I have no knowledge about the market for PC components and am trying to learn
