Recommended Forum for Custom PC Building and Advice?

Hey
OCAU is pretty quit these days. What’s a good active forum?

Here and reddit is useful but there’s no continuity to threads. I like long continuous forums where each new reply appears below the last.

      Now there is a blast from the past

        Haven't been back there for ages, but I would have thought it would have been a reasonable choice for tech topics.

        I've certainly gotten useful help when trying to sort out fiddly router firmware from years ago. But no clue what it's like there now

          Pretty sure all the decent posters left a long time ago.

      AU falcon on gas.

      Sorry, force of habit.

    I hear Linus Tech Tips has an active forum

    What a difference Mods make to a mod site 🤣

    Just post something here with the title “Is This a Good Build?” and a celebrity will reply you with something meaningful

    Just buy a prebuilt dude that's what the vast majority of people do. If you don't know what you are doing you can ruin your expensive PC.

    Case in point, a huge twitch streamer XQC recently had Linus on his stream who revealed he (profanity) his PC up because he forcibly plugged a cable in the wrong way around.
    If you aren't a nerd like Linus you will likely have a tough time with that kind of thing.

      PC assembly is pretty noob level for electronics…

      • XxAiDsTaRxX on 22/02/2023 - 08:58

        Yeah unless your building a water-cooled rig..

        • Shoocat on 22/02/2023 - 19:24

          Water cooled is plug and play these days. Just buy a fully sealed setup

      • Sleeqb7 on 22/02/2023 - 10:54

        Yeah, I literally built my first PC when I was 10.
        These days, there are thousands of full length video guides on YouTube on how to build one, it is overwhelmingly simple.

  • XxAiDsTaRxX on 22/02/2023 - 08:57

    Bapcsalesaustralia in reddit. They are super helpful on there.

    They do have a forum, but I haven't ventured into there so can't comment further. I just check out the complete builds to get ideas and see which parts work with what.
