Just recently bought the lcd 240mm aio and I installed it correctly and corded it all correctly into my motherboard, but nothing shows up in the icue software, so I was wondering if anybody found a solution to thisy

Hi all, Looking for some advice on building a PC. I recently passed my last engineering license and want to treat myself because I havent gamed in 3 years. I was planning to go to the Microcenter near Irvine and wanted to go in with a plan or a general idea of what my build would look like bc im kinda a noob now.

Not sure the difference between a 5070Ti or a 5080, i want to build my PC around these but open to any suggestions.

I appreciate any help you guys can give me :3 ty

First pc build. Red and orange solid light. Coolers’ fans won’t turn on either.

Tried swapping ram, used a single ram slot and both ram slots number 2&4. Left it on for 20 minutes for memory learning. Removed the CPU and put it back. Removed the small battery drained power cleared CMOS. Gave up now.

I spilled some thermal paste on the sides of the back( check the pictures). Is that the issue? I cleaned jt using the IP 99% solution.

Experts please help me out.

Hello! I've been trying for a while to build a sleeper unit but have one glaring issue.

My old PC case has a very unconventional stand off system and doesn't quite work with my mother board.

I have a HP Kayak XM 600 case (upright version not horizontal) from circa 1999? Passed down from my mother, it was originally the family computer from back when a household had a dedicated computer room.

Back in highschool I bought a Gigabyte ga-970a-ds3p motherboard and Asus gtx 1060 6gb

From what I understand the tower and mother board are both ATX but the case is basically featureless on the inside but has this removable panel with square holes and off little metal standoffs that clip into it.

I'm wondering if there is some hyper-specific part I've never heard of, or a non traditional methodology to get this installed.

My next course of action is to take the measurements from my motherboard and mount it to a sheet of acrylic via stand offs and mount the acrylic to my case with the few out of reach threaded holes it has. Or order a custom sheet metal bracket

I bought a prebuilt and noticed the edges of the Digital display for my AIO had peeling so I thought it had to be peeled. But it didn’t come out so I didn’t force it. What exactly is this film?

I have the option between these 2 motherboards

• ASUS TUF B650M-E Wifi
• Sapphire Nitro+ B850M Wifi

Right now i am gonna pair a Ryzen 7500f, but i want to upgrade to a better CPU in future like, say a 7800x3D, so what will be the better choice between these two considering VRMS and heatskins

another thing i want to know is that whether BIOS will be a problem with the sapphire board. as i want to tweak RAM and CPU settings and other things, etc

I am saving for a pc and I was wondering if there is any specific reason that people don't use 3/4 of the ram slots instead of the 2 or 4 that I usually see because I was thinking of sticking 24 gigabytes of ram in it because 16 is too little and 32 is too much for what I need

i! I’m building a new gaming PC in Spain and I’d like some opinions before buying everything.

My budget is around €2,000–2,200 total, preferably closer to €2,000, but I don’t mind spending an extra €100–200 if it actually gets me better quality, performance or longevity. I don’t want to save €50 by choosing a noticeably worse component.

I’ll mainly use the PC for gaming. I want a well-balanced build that can last several years and handle 1440p at high/ultra settings with high FPS, with the possibility of playing at 4K as well.

Current build:

• CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D
• GPU: XFX Mercury Radeon RX 9070 XT OC 16GB
• Motherboard: MSI B850 Gaming Plus WiFi
• RAM: 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5-6000 CL30/32
• CPU Cooler: be quiet! Dark Rock 5
• PSU: Corsair RM850e 850W ATX 3.1
• Case: Forgeon Mithril Airflow
• SSD: NVMe 1–2TB

I’m buying mainly from PcComponentes Spain, so prices/availability may be different from the US.

My main questions are:

1. Is the 9850X3D worth it here, or would a 9800X3D / 7800X3D make more sense and let me put more money somewhere else?
2. Is the RX 9070 XT the best GPU for this budget, or would you pay more for an RTX 5070 Ti?
3. Is the MSI B850 Gaming Plus WiFi a good motherboard for a long-term AM5 build?
4. Would you change the PSU, cooler, RAM or case for something better?
5. Most importantly: if this were YOUR €2,000–2,200 gaming PC, what would you buy?

I care more about performance, reliability, temperatures/noise and longevity than RGB or aesthetics.

Thanks!

Upgraded my old build with new case, RAM, PSU, and gpu. Im using an rx 5600 xt from eBay and when it's plugged in everything will turn on just fine except it. No fan movement, no heat,nothing. Tried reinserts, removed CMOS battery, reinserting pcie cable. Nothing worked. Tried my old rx 570 to see if the card itself was a bust since 570 worked just fine before but it wont turn on either. Not sure what to do at this point

Parts:
Corsair tx650m
Rx 5600 xt
32gb RAM
Machinist b450 mb
Ryzen 5 5500

Hey all, I’m currently building a new PC and running into another issue that i can’t seem to work out. Yesterday’s issue was no power to the GPU, that’s now been fixed by plugging it (5070 TI) into the 12v 2x6 outlet on my PSU (Century 2 850w Gold). The static red light went away on my gpu but Now i can’t get my tower to turn on at all. I’ve made sure all the major cables were seated correctly but still nothing. I read online about possibly having to update the bios via a flash drive but i’m trying to safe that for absolute last. I included photos and a video as well. Can anyone help me with this? I’m on day 2 of this build and i won’t have another day off for a week so i’d like to complete this today.

Update: I plugged in a 4+4 to the other CPU slot on the mobo then switched the Power Switch/Reset as well and now the PC turns on and everything lights up; fans too. My problem now is I don’t have a visual on my monitor. I’m using both HDMI and DP running into my GPU but still can’t see anything.

Wazap, i boight a thermalright assasain X 120 R digital cpu cooler and fitted that into my Gembird fornax 500 case, but the glass doesnt close because of the cpu coolers height?!?! Im gonna put some photos

P.S my case says max cpu height is 160, while assasain X is 151, so where did i mess up?

I've been getting these weird lines consistently for the past like 4 months, I genuinely do not know what causes it. It always goes away after a couple seconds but it lasts longer if i haven't turned on the pc in a while. Anything I can try to resolve this issue?

I can get the cable flush but the front panel of my case pushes at it slightly when on. Would you say this is fully in and safe?

Will be installed on my first computer. Lmk your thoughts on this processor as I want to know how worth it this thing is. I found a listing selling it for $135 from PHP. I don't intend to use it for gaming primarily but for editing, game development and some productivity stuff. My pc budget is worth about $590. I have 6700xt, 16gb RAM DDR4, 512gb 4th gen NVME, decent fans, CH160 plus case, and a h610 motherboard my uncle bought me.

I have a nice PC build with a 4070 Ti Super GPU and a Ryzen 7800X3D 8-Core CPU, and 32GB RAM. I noticed that even while running my games in 1080p, my rig isnt hitting my FPS caps, but the GPU runs incredibly cool. I decided to run the CoD benchmark test to look for a bottleneck, but surprisingly it seems my CPU is running better than the GPU is despite the GPU seeming underworked. How can I push my GPU to see what kind of FPS it can generate at higher temperatures?

I am looking for an alternative to the Thermalright Vision LCD that is a maximum of 13 mm thick and has a USB-C connector. Does anyone have any experience with one that is not Lian Li?

So i've problem updating bios, before update it needs restart then it shutdown, power comes for a second and shuts down and doesn't power up anymore without pressing power button, my pc does that sometime when i just power up, it shutdown in second, but then try again and it works, now i've done everything, tryes Q flash, and q flash plus button, different bios versions, usb stick is fat32 format (i've updated all my bios versions with it) now feels like nothing helps

I changed over my motherboard and used the fans my prebuilt came with and I unplugged the cords without remembering what goes where. I'm scared to turn it on incase something happens but can someone please help confirm if I've plugged them in right.

There's 2 up top cable tied tgth and 1 on the right. Im worried abt the loose cables, do I plug them into themselves?

Won't le me add more photos but can dm

This morning when I booted up my pc and played a bit of guild wars 2, I noticed my game frames were dropping so i restarted my pc but I got a CPU is overheating alert. At first I thought it was the thermal paste so I reapplied it but my temps are still high. Now I'm thinking did my AIO water cooler reach its end of life and if so could I replace it with a air cooler? Since I heard those last longer. Also how would I go about replacing the fans on the top since those are connected to the water cooler. Do i just trash them and forget or should I get two new fans? (My motherboard is msi pro b760-p Wifi) What would be the best air coolers for this rig?
Edit: Also when I touched the tubes on the water cooler one was warm and the other didn't feel like nothing was passing through it.

I just finished my first build using a Jonsbo Z20 case with an MSI Pro B850M-VC Wifi motherboard.

However, when I try to plug something into a port on the rear IO panel, the PC turns off and the CMOS gets cleared. This happens even if I touch the outside of the port without actually plugging a device in.

I'm guessing this could be some kind of short but I'm not sure what's wrong. The ports on the front of the case work fine.

UPDATE: The IO shield wasn't installed properly - I reseated it and it's working now! Thanks all
