How to check PC part compatibility

Paste a list or choose parts from the catalogue. The result shows conflicts, specification sources and checks to make yourself.

Add your list

Paste a shop’s parts list or choose components in the catalogue. Put one component on each line.

Read the result

Resolve conflicts and confirm any unrecognised models. Missing components are listed separately.

Check the documentation

Check the BIOS, tested-memory list (QVL), cables and layout in the manufacturer’s documentation.

For a new build or an upgrade

The catalogue contains 259 exact models across eight categories. Add up to eight drives, mark owned parts, compare changes and save builds in your browser. Checks work without prices.

Compatibility by component

CPU and motherboard ↗Socket, CPU family and the installed BIOS.RAM compatibility ↗DDR, form factor, exact kits, the QVL and slot selection.Graphics card, case and PSU ↗Exact card dimensions, clearance and power cables.Choosing an SSD ↗M.2 form factor versus SATA and NVMe interfaces.

Can I check any component?

Automatic checks cover models and parameters in the catalogue. Other entries stay unconfirmed. Use feedback to request an exact model with its manufacturer page.

Does a result without conflicts guarantee compatibility?

No. It means no conflict was found in the specifications checked. You still need to verify the BIOS, cables and other flagged conditions. RigVela does not test hardware; use the manual for your exact model.

Do I need an account or prices?

Public checks and guides need no sign-in. Builds stay in your browser. Enter your own USD amounts for budgeting; live retailer prices are not connected.
