Hi everyone, first of all I know this is really a self builder forum, but I am really tearing my hair out over something. I was wondering if anyone can help me? I have autism and I know a bit about PCs, but I really don't know that much about building or hardware, I'm more of a software kinda...

Someone recommended I post elsewhere in the forum and not just under the gpu section, so here I am, hello. 20 odd posts so far and honestly my experience hasn't been a great one, feels a little alienating the way mods, staff and long term members have responded to me... maybe it's just that...

Hello, I'm new to the forums. In the past I've always built my own computers but as I'm currently waiting to return to the UK from working in Vietnam, I've just ordered my first custom build so that it'll be waiting for me at home! Glad to be a part of the community! :D

I am first time PC builder, looking at the current shortage of components in the market i've probably picked one of the worst times to start building. Anyhow, my plan is to build a small but mighty ITX machine used for VR gaming and media consumption. Maybe a little over-kill for watching...

Hi all complete novice here, I would like to premise my request for advice with some background information. Usually, I would build my own AIO WC PCs, however as you can probably imagine I went with a prebuild this time around and here are the specifications: CASE: Lian-Li PC-O11 Dynamic XL...

Hi I’ve always wanted to build a water-cooled OC computer. But I’m 100% noob. I watch some, GN AHOC, J2C etcetera. But that really don’t mean I know what I’m doing. I have ordered some parts and will start to assemble my PC coming months. I say months since with the current status; Covid-19...

Hi, I just built my pc and the mobo bios (msi b550 a pro) is being funny. When i look in the storage part of the bios it says nothing is present- yet when I go onto board explorer it says there IS an m.2 storage device and it is correct. this is also my first build so I’m not sure really how to...

Okay so I’m new to PC building and I’ve done a little research. All I want to know is are all of my parts I’ve chosen compatible with eachother and would they fit in my case? Also if you have a better suggestion for anything I’ve picked, something that works better or better value for money...

Hi All I hope you are all doing as well as can be expected. I'm Jolly and I'm here because I emigrated from South Africa in September 2019 to make use of my UK citizenship. I'm currently staying in the South West of england in a tiny town for now, but I'll be moving to Belfast as soon as the...

I got given this PC a couple of years ago so I don’t actually have massive PC knowledge, I understand the basics but I really don’t know how to solve my issue when I got given a really good PC. I’ve played two pretty intensive games COD and Fortnite. In Fortnite I’d run 144fps but I’d get these...

Hi guys! I'm looking to get a new computer but last time I built one it was on the cusp of a new advancement in the design of motherboards and connectors, which meant that that computer quickly became non-upgradeable. Since then I've just had cheap laptops but I now want a PC for gaming and...

Hi guys, after a friend of mine recommended this site to me as a great place to go for help with a PC build I have been reading lots of posts and doing research to try and figure out what the right kind of setup for me might be. I have come up with the below, please could you give me any...

So I have been on here for a while. Not really got involved. I’m not much of a talker. However, I recently purchased a system form OC and I await delivery. Now I have ordered it I regret not asking for advice from here. My system will do me well though. I will probably get a bit more involved...

Noob here, Budget is about £300, dont have pc yet so i dont know what sound card i will end up with. needs to be simple to setup that does not take up much room. i was looking at KEF X300A but i heard bad things about it

R9 270X Graphics card. I can underclock my GPU without any issues while playing games such as Dying Light. But when it comes something ‘simple’ like watching videos, it doesn’t apply the overdrive clock settings. Now, as the good people in the U.K. might know, the U.K. is currently bloody hot...

Firstly, thank you to anyone that takes the time to read and reply to this. I am brand new to the world of PC gaming after being a long time console gamer but decided its time to take the next step. I am looking for the best gaming PC i can get for a budget of around £1200. As i have...

Thought this was a lot of CPU for the price : AMD FX-9590 Vishera 8-Core 4.7 GHz Socket AM3+ 220W £120 Thoughts? Would a budget AM3+ mobo handle this? Worried about the wattage and not what you would call knowlegable. Any advice appreciated.
