I'm not sure about the 7900xtx but I know for sure you would be fine with a 4070. I run an overclocked and water cooled 13600k, 4070ti, and a LOT of RGB and a 650W PSU is enough for my system. I know this because I had one. I upgraded it to an 850 just to give me more headroom, but my system...

I'm trying to decide on my next monitor purchase and am struggling between primarily two different options. My current monitor is a 6-7 year old Acer Predator x34p (34" 1440p ultrawide, no HDR). For the last year now I have been trying to decide whether to go with the same size monitor but an...

Heres the 4070ti in all its MASSIVE glory on a vertical mount. Second photo is my old 2080 in the same case. :oops:

I figured out what the issue was, I can't believe it. It was my UPS. Just an FYI if anybody out there has an ethernet problem. I had my ethernet cable running through my Tripp-Lite UPS protection ports. Just for the hell of it I decided to disconnect them and run the line straight from my...

Ok so this is actually even more strange than I thought. So the LAN port will actually stop working even if just reset my PC. I don't even have to go into the BIOS. If I just do a normal reset, it doesn't work when the PC comes back on. The only way the LAN port will work is if I actually...

1. YES. The port is clear and I don't think its a shorting issue. 2. I don't think so, no. I haven't checked because I don't want to go back into the BIOS but I doubt its the latest version. I really don't want to flash the BIOS unless I absolutely have to. And right now everything is...

Hey all. Got the rest of my new components yesterday and finished my new build. MSI Z790 MAG Tomahawk DDR5, 13600k, Corsair Dominator DDR5-5600, Samsung 990 Pro NVME, RTX 4070 ti. For the most part everything went OK but I have had issues with the LAN port on the new MOBO and I am really...

So I tried running check disk from my windows 10 install USB thumbdrive, didn't work. I also tried the "repair" option, that didn't work either. Nothing worked. I even tried scanning and running checkdisk from the cmd prompt and nothing would work. I have to assume that my 970 EVO crapped...

They are locking, the locking tabs don’t work anymore. I won’t need SATA cables ever again starting with this new build! Thank god. M.2 drives only from here forward. Given how many Corsair controllers I have in the back of my case to support all the RGB and fan control, being able to get...

Do I need to use my windows 10 install thumb drive to run the check disk or repair install from?

I will do that when I build this new system. I'm only going to have the new 990 NVME connected when I do the windows install. FYI I still see all of my hard drives in the BIOS, including the NVME. Edit: I just realized something. Over the years I have had SATA cables disconnect from my hard...

I don't really care about the raid drives either. Like I said those drives are exclusively for games and pretty much all steam games. All I really care about is being able to access the 7200RPM HDD that I have, that's the drive that has files on it that would be unrecoverable for me. I have...

I can't remember if my other hard drives were connected when I built this system over 4 years ago. I have the 500GB Samsung NVME that I installed windows on, two 500GB SSDs in RAID for games only (mostly steam games) and a 1TB 7200RPM Seagate drive that I use for my personal files (multimedia...

Hey, so this morning I turned my PC on briefly to check something, right before I was about to turn it back off and leave for work it completely froze up on me, to the point that I couldn't even bring up task manager or anything. It was completely unresponsive. I ended up just holding the...

I just had an MSI Ventus...a 2080. Same thing...extremely loud fans and they typically ran at high speeds. Thats the nature of an entry level card like the Ventus line. Those are MSIs cheapest cards, the cooling isn't great and they can't really be overclocked. I just replaced it with an MSI...

So that is a brand new CPU cooler I just put in, I had the older H115i in there and actually had the 140mm fans blowing out. With that cooler I was using two LL140s inside the case and I oriented them blowing out so I could see the RGB. But when I put the new cooler in the other day I used the...

I have more, just not in the case. I've got a massive collection of fans, Corsair and Phanteks. And I'm about to buy more, I want to buy the new ML Elite RGB fans to replace the three QLs on the bottom, because I hate the QLs. Oh and BTW, there are two more fans in the case that you can't...

Its a MONSTER GPU...

So a couple of weeks ago I decided to try changing the thermal paste just to see if it would help, I had some arctic silver leftover from the build and it was still good. Only took me a few minutes so what the hell...it didn't make any difference. So I bought a new cooler, this time an H115i...

Oh you should be able to do that with a thumb drive and a modern smart TV. I know you can look at photos, slideshows, and play music from a thumb drive because I've done it. I've never played MP4 video files though, so someone needs to confirm...
