So I was exchanging PSU, on my Fractal Case. When I was trying to close the case, a cable accidentally got pulled out from the case's fan controller board (Fractal board on top right-hand corner of the case). I wrongly assumed that it was the fan cable that had got pulled off, it was actually a...

I RMAed a dead Asus X570 Mobo and moved all the parts to a different MSI Mobo. Now I just received a new Asus Mobo sent back to me. Basically, I have 2 x X570 mobos now. I might build a second system on it. Currently, I have 2 x 32GB 3600 RAM. I was thinking of just stealing one stick from my...

Hi, I am a 3d artist and was using Asus Dark Hero$$ MOBO with AMD 5950X. 1 month ago the Ethernet port failed and just now the MOBO has failed with "4D" error. CPU red light on the MOBO is on too. I am in the middle of a project, so no time to do deep research as I need to assemble it fast by...

Here is the situation. I have a state of the art 5950x based workstation for work (stays offline). I have a second decent PC, but my wife has hijacked it for streaming online classes. So I am left with an ancient PC for web use. This ancient PC is connected to a 1920 x1080, 24" monitor. My...

I work from home 100% and looking for white speakers to connect to my PC. I was using Creative GigaWorks T40 previously, but my wife had taken them. Want to upgrade, was looking at Creative T40 Version II ($120), but the newer version seem to have some green power saving feature that apparently...

Let's say that currently I have- 1) ISP's all-in-one modem/router 2) Work-PC (I want to keep 100% offline) 3) Play-PC (I want only this PC to have internet access) ______________________________ Both my PC have two Ethernet ports and I want to be able to transfer files between the two PCs. So...

Was not sure if I should start this thread under MOBO or CPU section, anyway... I just built my new workstation a few days ago, I play zero games and the PC will be used for content creation that utilize all 16 cores when rendering. Stability and longevity are my main concerns rather than few...

I am conflicted between Meshify 2 or Meshify 2XL for a 3d workstation, non gaming use, with the following parts. - CPU- Ryzen 5950x - Air cooled (Noctua NH-D15). - GPU, hopefully 2 x RTX3090 or whatever in the future, one day!!!!! - Around 4 spinning HDs - 2 SSDs, 1 M.2 (on mobo) - Asus X570...

I have Silverstone TJ07 case. I will be building a new PC, Ryzen 5950x, X570 Dark Hero, Noctua NH D15, 1-2 GPUs, 64-128GB RAM, 2- SSDs, 4 x 3.5" HDs. Everything will fit in the TJ07. Not sure about the 2nd GPU because apparently you need 9 slots on the back of the PC case and I have 7? On my...

I just received my Crosshair Dark Hero X570 MOBO. The box has no circular seal sticker that one has to break to open the box. For example on this YT video at 8 second mark there seems to be a seal. My box looks brand new, no damage or opened sticker mark or fingerprints. Could it be that Asus...

I want to build a Ryzen 5950x based system with one or two RTX GPUs. The system is not for gaming but for 3d work. All cores and GPU will get fully loaded when CPU and GPU rendering. Situation is that I will have to concentrate on CPU rendering for now as all RTX GPUs are missing in action! On...

Edit for UPDATE- Ended up buying Corsair HX1000 (1000W) ___ I am trying to build a work related PC and like everyone struggling to get hold of parts! Some 1000W+ PSUs just came in a shop nothing else available, so I am debating if Be Quiet is a good brand? Normally I have bought Corsair PSUs...

I am looking for a rock solid MOBO for Ryzen 5950x. Will be using it for design work. I keep going round is circles and can't pick a MOBO! MOBOs in $300-450 price range ok for me as it needs to serve me for minimum 3 years! Lot of GPU and CPU rendering! 4 x 16GB RAM (G skill probably?) 2 x...

Any views on these or soemthign I am missing? I like clean design and not too much RGB bling bling. Will be using AIO or air cooling. No custom loop. Fractal Design 7 XL case vs Corsair Obsidian 750D Airflow vs Phanteks Enthoo Luxe vs Be quiet! Dark Base Pro 900 rev.2 vs Phanteks Enthoo 719 I...

I will be running couple of 4k monitors (32") and maybe a 30" 2k monitor. Will be using Photoshop, Premier, After Effects, 3d software like Maya, Cinema 4d etc Which card would be enough without noticing any lag?

I am about to buy this. I am a designer and it has built in KVM switch. Seems like value for money. The HDR stuff is gimmick on it but thought I ask before ordering it- https://www.benq.com/en/monitor/designer/pd3220u.html https://nerdtechy.com/benq-pd3220u-review

I have been waiting more than a year now, anything under $1400? All I see is the same old models. I don't really play games as such. It will be purely used for design work.Is Dell UltraSharp UP3216Q worth it? Anything better for similar price? Ben q has that flicker issue.

Currently I am using a IPS Dell 30" (2560 x 1600) resolution monitor which is losing brightness as it is very old. I am looking for a new 30-32" monitor and move my current 30" for secondary use like browsing, reference images etc. I don't play any games, strictly for design work. I was...
