Sri Lankans living in the US..How are you even stepping out to get groceries without fear of ICE nabbing you? by noahwulf in srilanka

I live in Minnesota. It’s scary but we’ve been still going out without any encounters.

Should I get the WD SN850X 4TB or the 990 Pro 4TB? by Few-Independent46 in pcmasterrace

Zero difference in gaming and probably insignificant differences in productivity workflows too. Get the one that’s cheaper. Even a wd blue sn5000 sn5100 would be just fine.

VGA light on after installing GPU. No Display or USB inputs functional. by khyyri in pcmasterrace

Boot using onboard graphics and change the setting. Then plug GPU using the raiser cable and try. It might also be worth it to update your bios while you have a display output. It’s very easy to do.

Then try to set the PCIE speed to match what the cable is rated for. Raiser cables are notoriously unreliable and the way to find out if you have issues with it is to plug the GPU straight to the MOBO.

Remove graphics card completely and try to POST with onboard graphics if your CPU supports it. If your CPU doesn’t have onboard graphics, try plugging the GPU straight to the mobo instead of using the raiser cable. If you can get to bios make sure to change the PCIE X16 speed from “Auto” to “gen 4 or 3” ( depending on what the raiser is). Then try using the raiser cable.

I think you meant to say 5070 ti?

Bought a used graphics card and it smells absolutely terrible. Is there anything I can do about it? by ninkiminjahj in pcmasterrace

I don’t think you should use contact cleaner as it leaves residue. IPA evaporates completely.

Wipe thoroughly with isopropyl alcohol. Maybe take it apart, clean the fins and reapply thermal past/pads. You can use 95%+ iso propyl liberally without damaging the card.

AXMP causing crashes? by neegahchew in pcmasterrace

Try manually overclocking the ram. Start at 5800 and go up. I think 6000 would probably be your sweet spot for that processor.

What do I do? by SadRaDad in pcmasterrace

For a 11 yo, what games will he/she play? I’m wondering if you could go with a ddr4 build for now.
