During the recent months, me PC crashes during high load. Yesterday, it crashed many times, resetting it self. I was very much scared at first, thinking it might be the RAM being faulty. I wasn't sure if I could buy a new kit if the current one goes out of business and warranty also doesn't cover it. I mean the prices are insane!
However, after memory test, no problem was found. The next theory is that the PSU is either faulty or cannot afford such a load. I have a Ryzen 9 3900X which is also overclocked. Last night I downclocked it from 4.0Ghz to 3.5Ghz and started the tasks on it. This morning, the PC was still online and a reset hadn't happened. This reinforces the theory about PSU.
However, I also think the PSU is not faulty. Overtime I have added new parts to the PC while the PSU stayed the same. So the first thought which naturally comes to mind, is that I need a new PSU with higher capacity.
I have added a new high speed NVMe SSD, a new PCI Wifi card, and yesterday I added a tiny USB Wifi dongle before the resets become so much more often.
In the long term, I need a new PSU. In short term, I think I have to disable the one of the Wifi hardwares to say the least.

RT @tomshardware: Nvidia verkauft RTX-50-Serie-Grafikkarten zum UVP während QuakeCon 2026 — Grafikkarten, die mehr als ein Jahr nach Release zu den ursprünglichen Launch-Preisen verkauft werden, gelten nun als Attraktion. Dies zeigt, wie dystopisch die PC-Bauindustrie geworden ist.

It has been assembled. Tomorrow is first power and trying it out. Maybe it'll become my daily driver by the end of the week. But first the firmware update, then the OS install, then the data migration, then the reconfiguration of everything so I can use it all again.
And then comes turning the decommissioned desktop into my home server. And getting that reformatted, and built up, and...
Getting the new computer is awesome. Getting it ready to replace the existing one? Not so much 🙂 Here's hoping this one lasts as long as my current one did.

spent way too much time today resurrecting a 2010-era set of components into an almost complete PC. hoping someone can use it and it can avoid the landfill for a long while yet. #pcbuilding

Wow, dieser ganze Wahnsinn mit den Preisen bei PC-Teilen ist inzwischen echt nicht mehr nur auf SSDs, RAM und Grafikkarten beschränkt!
Hatte letzten Oktober noch nebenbei 2x neue Seagate IronWolf Pro 16TB HDDs für meinen PC gekauft. Kosteten damals noch ca. 355€ pro Stück. Das identische Modell ST16000NT001 kostet inzwischen, je nach Händler, um die 700€, also praktisch das Doppelte! So langsam ist das alles echt nicht mehr lustig! Mehh! 😕

It’s been a week but I’ve been really happy with my new PC build. I went with large fans and airflow and I really just never hear it. Counting the GPU and PSU fans, it sits at 10 fans: 6x 140mm, 2x 120mm, and 2x 85mm on the GPU.
I think the ONLY thing that I feel like I gotta change is the annoyingly blinding blue LED in the power button. Blue LEDs already annoy me but heck it’s bright. I think I’ll pull it out and put a soft white LED in it that barely glows. I fear it’s gonna be a lot more disassembly than I want to do, though, so I might live with it and put a piece of vellum over it or something. It seriously lights up the wall across from the PC.
Specs:
Jonsbo Z20 mesh black case
MSI MAG A850GL PSU
MSI MAG B760M Mortar WiFi II mobo
Intel i7-12700 CPU
96GB Crucial DDR5 4800 ram (2x32gb, 2x16gb)
2x 1TB SK Hynix Platinum NVME
Intel ARC B580 Limited Edition
Artic Freezer 36 CPU cooler

I'm glad I upgraded my PC in 2023.
Got a new CPU, motherboard, and RAM from MicroCenter in an in-store deal at the time (their combo deals are insane even today) whereby I was given 32GB of DDR5-6000 DRAM for 1 penny. (Its list price in the store was $149.99.)
I just did a NewEgg search for the same DRAM kit and found it at $933.99.

Oh, wow.. die Preise für SSDs gehen auch im Sommer 2026 IMMERNOCH durch die Decke. Ich bin immernoch froh, meine 8TB NVMe damals im November '25 für 810 EUR gekauft zu haben, auch wenn es damals schon eigentlich sauteuer war. Aber die aktuellen Preise?! Holy cow! 😅

¿Por qué suben la RAM y los SSD? 💸
La fiebre por la #IA está desviando la producción de chips hacia data centers. Fabricantes como Samsung o Micron priorizan la memoria HBM para servidores, reduciendo la oferta para laptops y PC.
El hardware de consumo vuelve a encarecerse. 📉

If you happen to be looking for DDR5 RAM Modules today (2 x 16GBytes 6000 M/T) then the lowest price in the UK so far is from Silicon Power directly from their site for £ 348.87 with coupon code:
Prices for RAM are still going up and don't look likely to fall any time soon 🙁

Ich bin gerade daran einen gebrauchten PC auszusuchen weil einen neuen zu kaufen ist gerade zu teuer 🙈. Er soll einen Zweikernrechner ersetzen der an seine Grenzen gekommen ist.
Aufgabe ist das Anzeigen einer GUI und Bedienung einer Accessdatenbank (nicht meine Wahl und mag ich auch nicht diskutieren) unter Windows 11 (mag ich auch nicht diskutieren) auf einem Touchscreen. Der PC läuft 24/7.
Kosten Ziel ist <500 Euro hier meine Vorgaben:
-Einzeltakt >2,9 GHz
-Kerne >6
-Grafik on Board
-Mindestens 1 USB-C 3.x
-RAM 16 GB
-sdd 256 gabRaus kam der hier:

I built a PC out of used parts I just got, it is working nicely!
It is missing one component though, I wonder if you can spot it.

Building a PC turns a generic box of plastic and metal into your machine. But do you actually know what those components are doing under the hood? 🛠️💻
I wrote a simplified, beginner-friendly guide covering:
• The core hardware (CPU, GPU, RAM, etc.)
• Crucial compatibility traps to avoid
• A teaser on why #Cybersecurity experts need to look closely at hardware-level threats right out of the box.Read the post here: https://casualdigitals.net/article/40

If you are one of the few who are still assembling PC's then you might find these online references helpful:
Lots of nerdy information about motherboards, chipsets and such in table form:
Also, PCIe Lane information on various motherboards and the configuration options available on each:
And the always popular UEFI / ComboAMI AGESA updates list:

RT @QuixiAI: Wer ist Vibe-Hardware? Die Welt braucht NVLink-Brücken (bitte flexibel, damit sie von 2 bis 4 Steckplätzen funktionieren). Auf eBay kosten sie bereits über 1.000 Dollar, da kann man richtig Geld verdienen. Eric Hartford (@QuixiAI) sagt, es gibt 2-Steckplatz-Modelle auf eBay, aber das gilt nur, wenn man 2-Steckplatz-Grafikkarten (chinesische Modifikationen) oder wassergekühlte RTX 3090er hat. Die 3- und 4-Steckplatz-Modelle (für Retail-GPUs) scheinen inzwischen zu teuer geworden zu sein. (Vielleicht ist es Zeit für Vibe-Hardware.) — https://nitter.net/QuixiAI/status/2073474471529160905#m

So I just installed the third RTX 5070Ti I've gone through and this one also coil whines. Less than the ASUS models I've tried before, but still enough that I find it annoying, especially as it sometimes does it even when not under any significant load 😔
Is finding an actually quiet #GPU nowadays basically mission impossible or am I just too sensitive to high frequencies?

You can still build a great $1000 budget gaming PC with Amazon Prime Day parts — 32GB of RAM and RTX 5060 Ti power beats out the Steam Machine and cheap prebuilts

Steam Machine Alternative Build for ~£1199 using today's UK pricing with available parts:
https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/user/SimonZerafa/saved/#view=b4wbCJ
You'll need a Keyboard, Mouse, Monitor and Controller to complete this of course. None of those are supplied with the base Steam Machine.
This build will also be a lot more performant (more RAM and a better GPU) upgradable and customisable in the future.
Install SteamOS, Bazzite or CachyOS if you want a similar experience to the Steam Machine. These operating systems are free. A Windows 11 Pro Licence will cost around £30, if you want to go that route.
This is a white build, a black one might be slightly less expensive 🙂

TIL:
If your DDR5 DIMM modules have configurable RGB, then every time you reprogram the colours or pattern there is a non-zero chance to corrupt the SPD or other configuration information on the module.
This renders the module unable to train, even if the RAM itself is functional.
Maybe DIMM modules without RGB are the way to go? 🖖🤷♂️
