Hello All! Recently I’ve been chatting with a few of my friends about overclocking and getting better performance from my computer, and it’s shown me a new side to PC building and performance. While I’m currently very inexperienced when it comes to overclocking, I thought it would be great fun to start testing new ways to…
Along with the CPU and GPU benchmark threads, I wanted to create one for memory as well! While I am not well versed in memory overclocking, it’s fairly well known that memory speed has a substantial impact on your system’s performance. For ranking memory, we’ll place the importance on latency first most. I’ll link to a…
I currently have 2x8gb ddr5 5600 ram installed, and want more ram. I went to Crucial's website and used their system compatibility selector to determine what memory was compatible for my HP Envy 16-1023dx laptop. Crucial said max memory for this sytem is 64gb. However, when i run dos cmd "WMIC memphysical get Maxcapacity"…
Hello! New here - having an issue that pops up incredibly randomly - I'm pretty sure that I've got a wonky stick of RAM, but I can't prove it. I am wondering if anyone has some additional investigative tips I should do before engaging direct with the vendor. Picked up a nice bundle from Microcenter in March 2023, got it…
Hello, In the last few weeks my internet, ethernet connection, has been fluctuating speeds and not stable to run online games. Internet was perfectly fine prior to the last few weeks. My internet speed is 1 gb through Midco, my motherboard has 1 gb capabilities. I have also tried a new 1 gb PCIe board, wifi, and USB 3.0…
I built my first pc last night and there was no display through hdmi. I checked the motherboard and saw the orange light. From online guides I reseated my rams in different slots and made sure they are locked in, but the orange light is still there;
I am wanting to upgrade my M.2 / NVMe SSD into a bigger storage. My motherboard says the M.2 socket 3 with M Key supports PCIe 3.0 x 4 mode. Do M.2 NVMe SSDs with PCIe Gen 4 and Gen 5 x 4 run backward compatible with my mobo that supports PCIe Gen 3 x 4? Also I will be upgrading my HD to a bigger capacity SATA SSD. Would…
How do I use wifi on the motherboard? Only my Lan shows in the network.
AMD has Microcenter as a retailer participating in the Starfield bundles. I recently purchased the mobo, cpu, ram bundle that included the 7700x, which is listed as a cpu that qualifies for Starfield Standard Edition. I wasn't given any code or anything via email or when I picked up my purchase. Is this qualifiable for the…
When I play games like Tarkov, GTFO, and World of Tanks, I will get random crashes without any warning. Honestly, it applies to every game in my library, but these are what I have been playing the most recently. These crashes come with no warning, and half of the time freeze my entire system or cause an error in other…
Just bought the MSI B650 motherboard and the GSkill MB750G powersupply. I find I am unable to connect them. The problem is the cable from the power supply to the motherboard. The "CPU" power supply cable is 2x4 on the power supply side. No problem . On the motherboard side of that cable, I expected to find a matching 2x4…
Pc Part Picker shows that the Ryzen 5 5600x requires Bios F61 for Gigabytes B450M DS3H WIFI motherboard and on Gigabytes website all it shows is Bios FB and FA. So two questions. Do I download and flash one of the two F bios or does the B450M already come with the correct bios and Pc Part Picker just hasn't updated it yet?…
Does Micro Center re-paste CPUs and do they re-paste CPUs for desktops I didn't see anything for desktops just laptops. Would appreciate a response thank you.
I took my motherboard to a shop yesterday he used his power supply (Didn't Bring Mine) it powered up he was in the bios it worked fine when i returned home I did everything the guy did at the repair shop (Motherboard light up but that's it) i couldn''t get any results CPU fan was spinning (Now it's not even doing that) but…

Apologies if I'm doing this wrong. Don't think I've ever utilized this community stuff. Wasn't sure what category to select. In addition to the Ryzen 7 3700X, I have 32GB of RAM and now an RTX 4080 up from an RTX 3070. I also swapped out my 850W PSU for a 1000W one. Is my Ryzen 7 3700X essentially bottlenecking my 4080?
Has anyone else purchased this combo, and had crazy CPU overheating issues? Out the box. in bios running 60 - 70c. Tried AIO (Arctic Liquid Freezer II) that keeps our 7700x nice & cool. Switched PSU. I can't even run cinebench without it going over 100c & crashing. About to return the combo. I live far from Microcenter.…
Hiya. I need to RMA a motherboard that I bought from microcenter. I need an invoice to register the product with the manufacturer for an RMA since I'm over the allotted store warranty. Is there a way to get a copy of my invoice sent to me so that I can get my board fixed?
Hey all, I am about to drop some money on a new AIO to try and solve this, but I figured I might as well post here to see if anybody has some advice. I also posted this just in the general forum, but I think it should probably go here to get the most exposure, so I apologize for the double post. I purchased the G440 from…
I recently tried enabling XMP on my motherboard, I hadn't done this yet because I just recently built this one and my last completely bricked so I really valued stability over everything else. When I tried though it immediately didn't boot up so I disabled it and it was back to normal. I might want to try again but before…
Long story short I Just bought parts to build a new customer PC! great, but the money I set aside for this PC and I used to Pay for the PC (about2k) this is now needed to a personal emergency, and i can no longer afford the PC :( I don't want to return but I have too/\
Built a pc with an MPG Z490 gaming edge wifi mobo. Originally with 1TB Samsung 970 Evo Plus. Filled that up so purchased and installed a second 2TB Samsung 970 Evo Plus (all parts both original build and new disc were from Micro Center). Both disks show up as disk drives in the device manager, but the new NVMe is not…
Apologies in advance for the essay. Just finished building my first PC. Watched tons of videos, checked 3 different part compatibility checkers, been planning and slowly acquiring parts for months. Complete the build, go to power on, no display. All my RGBs work on case fans, cooler fan, RAM, GPU. Power button on my case…
Hey all, I built this PC in December as a novice, after saving for a "dream computer." The dream didn't materialize. I am not an expert, or even moderately knowledgeable person, when it comes to PC building, so please be patient while reading: I have been experiencing this problem continuously until the latest BIOS flash…
My current set up is a Ryzen 5 5600G with an ASUS B450M-A II, and Radeon R9 290. I'm not getting any display currently. (New member so I can't post links, sorry.) This is the bundle I bought at Micro Center yesterday AMD Ryzen 5 5600X, ASUS Prime B450M-A II, CPU / Motherboard Combo I bought this bundle yesterday. Looking…
Built a new PC and booted and installed windows. I shut down PC and next time I booted it I just get error code 00 on the Motherboard. Removed Motherboard from case and tried bench booting motherboard same thing. Tried clearing CMOS and also used Bios Flashbackt to make sure bios was updated. Same thing wont boot just…
Looking to buy 2 RAM sticks. I think my Z-170 Gaming 5 motherboard allows for four RAM sticks and I already have two in there that add up to 16 GB. If possible, can I add two sticks of 16 GB so that I would have a total of 32, or if my motherboard only accepts two sticks, should I replace the old ones with two sticks of 32…
Hello, I've been having issues with my motherboard (Asus z690 TUF Gaming WiFi D4) that makes using it a pain. Audio crackles and pops when the volume changes, on windows notifications, on boot up, and watching videos. I've reached out to Asus for support multiple times and they only give inane troubleshooting tips/steps…
I just finished my first pc, but the cpu debug light is on and there is no display when i plug in my monitor, not sure what to do
Old CPU was an AMD RYZEN 5 1600. I own 32GB DDR4 2400 CL16 (4X8GB). 2 STICKS are G.Skill "Flare" (cl16.16.16.39 1.20v). The other 2 are Corsair "Vengeance" CL16.16.16.39 1.20v. I had a machine that booted into Windows 11 before. It was fine,but slow with one stick of the G.skill ram. I put the 2nd in and it was faster, but…
G.Skill Ripjaws V 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR4-3600 PC4-28800 CL18 Dual Channel Desktop Memory Kit F4-3600C18D-32GVK - Black Reviewers at Amazon and Newegg seem to say at some point G.Skill switched from dual rank DIMMs to single rank. Unfortunately, MicroCenter's reviews don't mention rank#. Anyone know today whether this RAM kit…
