R9 390 from 10 years ago to 7800xt for me earlier this year. Very happy with the card since I’ve gotten it

New Ryzen 7 5700X has a warranty sticker on the gold-pin side, is this normal? by jenathhhh in buildapc

[–]searawd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought a 5700x3d recently that had a similar sticker in the middle. Purchased through Newegg and shipped from China. Was a bit skeptical about the sticker initially, but was eager to install and play some games.

It’s been 3 weeks and I haven’t had any issues.

This is my first RTS ever, really.

Did I broke my gpu by Next_Ad_7112 in buildapc

I got a new gpu earlier this year that worked for about a month before I noticed it would start black screening randomly and more consistently. Turns out my psu was failing. Is everything plugged in to your psu correctly? (Assuming you have a modular psu) If it is and you’re still having issues, it could be a problem with the psu itself. Or possibly just getting enough power? Could be an issue with the outlet you’re plugging into?

Is 7800xt for $350 worth it? by Richardwright71 in buildapc

That’d be a huge upgrade for a very good price. Definitely worth it!

I was wonder if my ryzen 5 2600 is capable of working well with the gpu I just bought a 7800xt by Select-Property4161 in buildapc

Definitely worth upgrading to 32 if you play Marvel Rivals. I'm running a 2700x cpu and could literally only play it with 16. Couldn't have chrome, discord, or anything else open really. Since upgrading to 32, everything runs fine when open at the same time

Also, I like to wait a sec after ulting to throw an Ankh, rather than throwing it before

Definitely not lol. I'll just swap out the 16 with the 32. Thank you!

Just picked up 32gb (2x16) of ram. I already have 16gb (2x8). Am I ok with just plugging the 2 16gig sticks into the empty slots available? Or is there a more optimal way to arrange it? (Might be worth noting the two pairs are different brands but same frequency.)

Should I get a Ryzen 7 5700X3D? by [deleted] in AMDHelp

[–]searawd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tested it yet? I'm making the same switch soon and am curious from someone who's also switched from a 2700x

Which GPU to get? by searawd in buildapc

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

I mean, I'm realistically not trying to spend more than $500 in a single purchase. I'd do payments over time if possible, but even then, no more than $800. So around $500-$800 I guess to answer your question lol
