Hi. I have a noctua nh d15 cooler and a rx 7900xt, I have bought a m.2 pcie adapter to add more storage but I can't add it to the pcie slot because it's blocked by the gpu so I want to mount it vertically but I can't reach the retention pin because it is blocked by the gpu + air cooler. Does...

Over the last couple months I’ve noticed my whole pc crashes due to the GPU crashing under load. Nothing changed in my setup for this to start happening. Wondering if this is a fixable issue or if this is a needed upgrade at this point. Specs: GPU - RTX 2060 super CPU - Ryzen 7 5800x RAM -...

Hi All, Last night I had just finished playing a game and was getting ready to finish up for the night when my pc suddenly crashed and turned off. It had never done this before. I went to inspect and noticed my ram rgb was still on but all my fans had stopped. I turned the power switch off and...

Hi all, I built my current pc in 2011 (with help from this forum!). Since then it's been through a few GPU upgrades and increased RAM but it's the same basic build with an intel i5 2500k cpu, 8gb of ram and currently an Nvidia970 GPU. I play a lot of games and this pc has been surprisingly...

Hi there, Firstly, sorry if this isn’t the best place to post this. I’m wracking my brain trying to figure out why in apex (my main game) I have 50% gpu load constantly unless I max out the settings but I still get the same frames. So same amount of frames just ups the gpu load to 70%. Running...

So I recently sent in my MSI Ventus RTX 3080 in for an RMA and was asked in an email if I would like a replacement of an rtx 4070ti which I was pleased about or a refund of only £379.16. so obviously I choose the 4070ti. Only to be emailed back 30 minutes later stating that there was a...

Title pretty much sums it up. I've been looking at making some upgrades and I've come to the conclusion that my GPU is probably the weak link in my current build (Correct me if I'm wrong) Most games I end up having to change settings to some odd combination of high/medium/low depending on...

Hi all, I'm a casual gamer - I generally just play big AAA titles on console and call it a day, but in late 2019 I got the itch to give PC gaming a go and put together a Ryzen 5 2600X/1660ti system, which I have had fun with. Now a friend at work is looking to dip his toes into PC gaming for...

RX 6750XT dropping at around £450 , is it worth the slightly steeper price compared to cards like the RX 6700 XT and the RTX 3060 TI in the long term Thoughts?

Upgrading GPU and looking at either an RTX 3060 or an RX6700XT with the RTX 3060 being the cheaper option but RX possibly a better choice in the long run as newer cards come out. Is going for the more affordable option the best choice or is spending a bit more on the RX 6700XT better over a more...

Hi, I originally built my PC way back in 2013 and have been upgrading it ever since. I have an EVGA GTX 1080 - it's getting a old and would like to upgrade to a newer graphics card. I have done some research and the AMD RX 6800 XT seems to be a good card for the price, it is currently...
