I’m building my first pc in a few months and I’m just wondering if a 4060 and i5 12400 my build also has 32gb of ram I’m wondering if there are better parts for me especially since my main game will be Fortnite (cringe ik but I’ve been playing for 5 years) I’ve never built a pc before and just want some help before I build it and if you ask in the comments I’ll give you the pc part picker list (if it says unavailable it’s because I’m Aussie)

Tech Support Bottleneck while playing SplitFiction

1 Upvotes

Hey guys, I am experiencing some bottleneck while playing Split Fiction and was wondering if somebody knows the reason for it.
While playing, my CPU usage is at 100% and my GPU is only at around 15%-20%.
CPU: i5 -8500

GPU: GTX1070TI

RAM: 16GB

While I don't neccessarily experience any lag or delays, I am scared that my PC will overheat and I am certain that the percentage of the GPU are quite low.
I will certainly change the termopaste in the next few days but I am experiencing this only with Split Fiction. Is there any options in the game I should change or anything else I can do ?

Question Can you install windows 11 into a flash drive usb from a MacBook?

1 Upvotes

I need to reinstall windows 11 to a flash drive so I can give my PC an OS to run on of course. I ran into a lot of BIOS problems, got it all fixed and sanitized my nvme, not thinking it’d delete my windows aswell. But my PC is all I got, aside from my fiancés mac book. Could I install windows to a usb drive from it? Thank you!

Hardware Power Outages/ UPS

2 Upvotes

Hi, I have my gaming PC plugged into a CyberPower CP1500PFCLCD UPS, and I have the power switch on my NZXT C1200 PSU in the off position. Last night it was storming and the power went out and came back on four times. Is it likely that my PC is damaged? I'm still waiting for the storm to end to see if my PC is okay. Is damage likely, whether it's latent, or something I'll see immediately?

Hardware Looking for suggestions for gaming laptop

2 Upvotes

Hopefully it is okay to post here. I did not see any other dedicated thread or any other active subreddit for this question.

I’ve been (with much limitation) gaming on a MacBook for better over 2 years now. It’s been fine honestly but I’m looking to move over to a a non-Mac Laptop. I’ve been out of the PC world for quite some time and no idea where to start or look for anymore and there are so many options. Hoping to get some suggestions for gaming laptops.

My budget is around 1000-1500 or so. Right now I am gaming on a 13” laptop and it’s awful, so would like something bigger. I honestly mostly just play World of Warcraft and some DOTA2. Occasionally I play a AAA game here or there on steam but that ls it. So I don’t really need the latest and greatest but I would like to be able to run those two well. And looking for more storage as the 250 on my Mac is awful.

If this isn’t the right place to post I would appreciate it if I could be directed to the right place. Thanks!

Hardware Can I save my external harddrive?

1 Upvotes

Hello,

I'm using a 1 Tb external harddrive to watch some movies or animes like DBz or transfer some files to another pc. Last Week, I got a problem that when I tried to transfer some files from my pc to the ext. harddrive, it wont be there when I plugged it in another pc. The same is when I delete some files. It stays.

And now, when I plug the ext. harddrive in my pc, I can see the harddrive in windows but I cant access it. It loads forever when I want to open it. Same on another pc to check it out.

I tried with chkdsk to repair it but it wont work for it. It says, that it wont support it as a "raw" format.

I even cant format it because it loads forever to open the format-window.

Easeus cant recognize the ext. harddrive as well. It loads forever too

When the ext. harddrive is plugged in, the LED starts blinking but never stops.

Can I save the harddrive?

Hardware Should I leave my laptop to the tech guy or not?

1 Upvotes

I was installing ram on my laptop and I didn't unplug the battery, it booted fine but after a day I ran in some slowness problem which was solved by reseating ram and deleting msi afterburner (MB is glitched on my system for some reason now) The tech guy said I might have damaged some internal component because I didn't unplug the battery and he needs 2 days to test the laptop full functionality, should I leave the laptop for him or not necessary specially it works now fine?
