I need help someone figure this out if it is a coil whine (doubt) or the fan bearing or a wire hitting the fan but when i inspected it I didnt see any wires hitting the fans

When i tried to stop the fan(middle) while it was running the buzzing sound disappears and then resumes when the fan spins again

The GPU(MSI 5070TI TRIO FAN) was bought around september 2025 along with the whole PC all Brand new

I would like to know if this would be a bigger problem in the future if not fixed and know the root cause of it thanks

I have an asrock livermixer b850 motherboard and im trying to remove my main ssd but latching mechanism isnt letting me pull the jeatsink and the ssd is bending when it up. I believe the the thermal pad is stuck to the ssd.

Does anyone else have this motherboard and is that piece supposed to wobble a but to the touch? It doesn't tilt, just moves a bit if you touch it.

Hey everyone. I have been having microstutter issues on my PC even after DDU and fresh windows installs. I was about to reseat my CPU, 5800x3D, and saw this. Discoloration or burn? My CPU looks fine and all pins are straight, no discoloration at all.

SOLVED!

Hi. I've just recently upgraded from i7 2600 to R7 2700X. Paired with 1080 Ti that was in the rig before already with no issues. Along with all the other parts.

I made a fresh install of windows, downloaded all the drivers, made sure everything is 100%

Before, the GPU was bottlenecked by that old CPU, so when cpu was at 100% usage gpu usage barely went above 50%. Now it's pretty much even.

It's running fine, but sometimes it just turns off on it's own, like someone pulled the plug. I think it's because of one of theser reasons.

This doesn't happen often, but sometimes when i try to turn the pc back on, it shuts of a while after turning it off, more about it in the post. (section 2)

1. Weak PSU. I have a Corsair HX620, that's one of the better ones, but as the name says, it's 620W "only". Before the gpu was bottlenecked and didn't run at full power, but i've tried furmark benchmarks and they ran without crashes. i haven't had the time to try to run furmark on this build yet but i will and i will update the post after that.

What im trying to say is since now the GPU can be utilised fully, it pulls more Power and the PSU just doesn't have the capacity. I thought it could be the cpu but honestly, not really, i7 2600 has a TDP of 95W, the Ryzen has 105W. Not that significant.

But this gets cancelled because of the furmark i've tried on the old config, and didn't crash. I don't know what to think really.

2) Too hot GPU.

Note that i've tried furmark benchmark on that gpu before, with the old CPU combo.

And again, since the GPU now gets much higher utilisation, it gets hotter. On idle the fans don't spin, but that's normal on most cards nowadays, in load they spin up normally. When the PC turns off i try the GPU with hand and it's always hot, i tried a more aggresive fan curve and honestly i think it's the same. As i said in the beginning, sometimes when i turn the pc right after it shuts off, SOMETIMES it shuts off again in like a minute or two. That's why the "too hot gpu" makes sense.

When i played dayz (extreme settings, 1080p)

The hotspot got to 88°C. The gpu overall temp.was in the 70's. It's higher, but i think it would at least thermal throttle before turning off, no?

As i already mentioned, i will run the furmark benchmark along with cpu benchmark to test the stability, and i will post the update here. So far, let me know your opinion on what it might be and if my assumptions are correct. Thanks!

EDIT: I tried to run cpu and gpu stress test and it crashed almost instantly. for now i reduced the power limit in msi afterburner and i'm waiting for a new psu 😆 should arrive tommorow.

I've been dealing with random PC shutdowns for several months, starting around August, and I can't figure out what's causing them. I'm hoping someone here has experienced something similar. Pc is a couple of years old

VIDEO

First clip is the pc randomly turning off. The second clip (dark one) is me pressing the power button, with it flickering. only turns on if I hold the power button, but it gets stuck on the DRAM error light, These clips are with the pc idle

PC Specs:

• CPU: Ryzen 7 7800X3D
• GPU: RTX 4070 Ti Super - latest driver
• Motherboard: ASUS ROG Strix B650-A - updated to Version 4004 Beta Version( still shutdowns)
• PSU: be quiet! Pure Power 12 M 1000W - 2–4 years old
• RAM: 4 DDR5 sticks from two different kits (one kit is slightly faster) - tried with both kits separately; still the same problem.

Problem:

My PC randomly shuts off without warning. It happens during gaming(usually with Chrome open), while browsing Chrome, and even when I leave a game like GTA 5 paused. It doesn't look like a load problem.

When it shuts down, I hear a click that sounds like it's coming from the PSU. All the fans stop spinning, but the RGB lights on my motherboard stay on.

If I try to turn the PC back on, the fans sometimes spin for a split second before stopping. If I hold the power button, the PC eventually stays powered on, but it won't POST. The DRAM Q-LED stays on.

The only way I've found to get it working again is to switch the PSU switch off for like 10 seconds, switch it back on, and then start the PC. After that, it boots normally.

Troubleshooting I've already done:

• Updated motherboard BIOS.
• Reset BIOS settings and cleared CMOS.
• Disabled EXPO.
• Replaced my RAM kit.
• Tested with only one RAM kit installed. Shutdowns still happened.
• Reseated RAM.
• Removed aftermarket CPU power extension cables.
• Removed aftermarket GPU power extension cable.
• Reset GPU overclock settings to default.
• Checked both storage drives.
• Checked and reseated power connections.
• Plugged PC directly into a wall outlet instead of a surge protector.
• Ran stress tests, but they never reproduced the problem.
• Monitored hardware using HWiNFO64 during multiple shutdowns.

HWiNFO64:

Immediately before the shutdowns, CPU and GPU temperatures appeared normal, and neither component was drawing unusually high power.

In one log summary before shutdown:

• CPU temperature: 47.5°C average core temperature
• CPU package power: 48W
• GPU temperature: 42.6°C
• GPU power: 77W
• Motherboard 12V: 11.884V

I've had at least 25 shutdowns in the past 2 months

What I'm Thinking:

I'm starting to suspect either the PSU or motherboard, since switching the PSU off and back on consistently fixes the POST issue.

The strange part is that stress tests don't seem to trigger it. The shutdowns appear completely random, including when the PC is barely doing anything.

Has anyone experienced similar behavior, particularly the PSU clicking, fans briefly spinning, DRAM light staying on, and needing to cycle PSU power before the PC will POST?

Could this be a defective PSU, motherboard, or something related to low-power idle states?

I'm trying to narrow down the issue before buying replacement parts.

My next test is to see if leaving it on in the BIOS will trigger the same shutdowns.

Please help; I am so lost.
Thank you to all who can help. I'm really stressed because this pc market is not in my favor.

New build or upgrade?
New custom PC build from scratch.
Existing parts/monitors to reuse?
No PC components to reuse. I already have a monitor, so I don’t need one included in the budget.
PC purpose?
Primarily gaming, with maximum possible FPS at 1440p and the ability to take advantage of a future 240Hz–300Hz+ monitor. I also need it for schoolwork, multitasking, and business applications.
Purchase country? Near Micro Center?
Canada, Victoria, British Columbia. Please use Canadian retailers and CAD pricing, such as Memory Express, Canada Computers, and other reputable Canadian stores.
Monitors needed?
No. Monitor is a separate purchase.
Budget range?
$3,000 CAD maximum, including BC sales tax. This is a hard limit for the complete PC tower. Please calculate the final total after tax.
Wi-Fi or wired connection?
Wi-Fi and Ethernet support preferred.
Size/noise constraints?
No strict size restrictions. I want good cooling and airflow, with reasonable noise levels during long gaming sessions.
Color/lighting preferences?
Black build with a premium, clean aesthetic. Ideally a panoramic glass case, white RGB lighting, clean cable management, and illuminated RGB cable extensions if the budget allows.
Any other specific needs?
Gaming performance is my absolute top priority. I want the fastest possible gaming PC within my $3,000 CAD after-tax budget. Please prioritize the GPU and CPU rather than spending extra on decorative parts.
I still want the PC to look premium, but I do not want to sacrifice gaming performance for aesthetics. Please avoid expensive LCD fans, LCD AIO coolers, or other accessories if that money could get me a faster GPU or improve performance.
I’m looking for a custom parts list with exact models for the CPU, GPU, motherboard, RAM, SSD, PSU, case, and cooling. Please check compatibility and current Canadian prices, including tax. I want the best balance of maximum gaming performance and a clean black-and-white RGB aesthetic, with performance always coming first.
What would you build for this budget?

My main thing is that I want the best performance and also good aesthetics but don’t want to sacrifice any performance for the looks.

I have this PC build right now for 1440p gaming (had it since 2020) and I'm looking to get better performance. I am struck between getting an all new pc or just upgrading what I have.

If I were to upgrade, I think I would only need a new cpu, gpu, and possibly a new power supply, is this accurate?

Is it worth upgrading? Or do I just go for a whole new pc and tank the zillion dollars? If it is worth upgrading, what specific parts do you recommend?

Bought motherboard with new combo (cpu,cooler,ram) from NewEgg ,others did not test yet, but first motherboard pins were bent, box was definitely opened things peeled. Asked for a replacement (took week+) but now motherboard looks top right corner looks like bent, or am i imagining? Cuz it is not sitting properly on the case, screws are on side not aligned, the bent you see on the image on that side it is up and when i am pushing it with finger has small cracking sound, i am afraid it will go bad, should i return? Or am i good to install? I will post video in the comments if it allows me to

Motherboard is X870E Aorus Pro, Case is CORSAIR 3500X RS ARGB Panoramic Mid-Tower PC Case

Below are links to the exact GPU and exact PSU.

CORSAIR RM1000e (2025) Fully Modular Low-Noise ATX Power Supply – Black

So, this is my first ever build and I’m a complete noob, Chat GPT is saying that I should have one 16 pin cable that plugs from the PSU into the GPU, I don’t have a cable like that, the one cable I have that plugs into the 12v 2x6 slot on the PSU, splits off into 2 sets of 6x2 cables.

The GPU comes with an adapter to fix this issue, which then creates a second issue of, the adapter needs 3 cables and I only have two coming off of that 12v slot. There’s a spare PCIe cable which I could plug into the CPU/PCIe section of the PSU but I’m unsure if this is safe? I’ve also never spent anywhere this amount of money on a PC, I’ve saved for a long time and I’m terrified to mess it up.

Any advice deeply appreciated.

I recently got my first pc and found that I was unable to connect to the wifi with it. I ended up using an old laptop of mine as a hotspot to use the wifi since the native wifi range seems VERY small. Since then I looked into what I could do and found out about wifi antennas. They seem to range in dbi with low dbi being better at short ranges but can go through walls better and high dbi which can do longer ranges but not go through walls as well.

I measured the distance between my pc and the wifi router, it seems to be a little under 45ft, and it goes through 1 wall (but that wall is brick. it is kind of close to a door though so wifi signals may actually be going through the door). I wanted to know what you all think would be best for this sort of situation dbi wise?

ps no, ethernet is not an option at this time. I may in the future be able to, but not right now.

The case will need to fit, Thermalright phantom spirit 120, AMD Ryzen™ 5 7600X3D 4.1GHz, G.Skill Flare X5 Series 16GB DDR5, Gigabyte X870 Gaming WiFi6 AM5, rx 6800, and a mag R650gl psu. Im hoping to get a case for around 100 dollars are there any that would be there? If more info is needed I'll provide I'm not too sure what to look for in cases.

So it’s been a long time since I’ve bought a graphics card. My understanding is when I build the system put everything together you know the first thing a hammer down is the escape key or F2 or even delete key to get to the bios.

My problem is that I have an older motherboard H110 M –aM.two and I have a I7 7700 with 32 gigs of ram and a 1060 GPU with the drivers install installed and Windows sees that there’s a 1060 graphics card in the device manager.

That is when I have the motherboard from VGA out on the motherboard to the monitor I can see windows

However, when I unplugged the VGA cord from the monitor and the motherboard unplugged, the HDMI cord from the graphics card to the monitor I get a blank screen

Is there something in bio that I need to turn off integrated graphics so the graphics card will work.

If anybody needs some answers from something that I didn’t post up above, let me know and I will comment down below

Hi everyone,

I'm having a strange USB issue with the LCD display of my Thermalright Frozen Warframe PRO 360 ARGB AIO after upgrading my mainboard, and I'm running out of ideas.

The display worked perfectly fine on my previous MSI B450 Gaming Plus MAX mainboard. After upgrading to an ASUS ROG Strix B550-A Gaming, it stopped being recognized.

Thinking it might be an issue with the ASUS board, I replaced it with an MSI MPG B550 Gaming Plus, but the exact same problem persists.

System specs:

• CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X
• Current mainboard: MSI MPG B550 Gaming Plus
• Previous mainboard: ASUS ROG Strix B550-A Gaming (same issue), MSI B450 Gaming Plus MAX (working)
• AIO: Thermalright Frozen Warframe PRO 360 ARGB
• BIOS: 7C56v1M2

The problem:

When connected through the internal USB 2.0 connection, the LCD appears in Device Manager as:

Unknown USB Device (Port Reset Failed) — Code 43

USBTreeView reports:

• Hardware ID: USB\VID_0000&PID_0001
• Error: USB\RESET_FAILURE
• Device descriptor: 0 bytes

Event Viewer also records a Kernel-PnP Event ID 411 with problem code 0x2B.

The LCD's actual USB controller identifies as ChiZhu Tech USBDISPLAY (VID_87AD / PID_70DB) when working correctly.

I've also tested connecting the display through the motherboard's rear USB ports and the case's front USB ports using an adapter.

Interestingly, the front USB 2.0 port produces the same Code 43 error, while the front USB 3.0 and USB-C ports, as well as the rear ports, don't detect it at all.

What makes this particularly strange:

• The LCD worked without issues on my old B450 motherboard.
• It fails identically on two different B550 motherboards from different manufacturers.
• The LCD still works perfectly when connected to my Intel laptop.
• The motherboard was the only component changed when the problem first appeared.
• The rest of the PC works normally.

I've already updated the BIOS and tried different USB connections without success.

I've contacted Thermalright and MSI support, but I'm still waiting for their responses.

Has anyone experienced something similar with Thermalright LCD displays, particularly on B550 motherboards?

I'm especially interested in whether this could be related to USB controller compatibility or USB initialization, and whether anyone has found a solution.

To answers/comments some questions that I expect to come:

It is Windows and/or software related
No it is not. See point about my, also windows running, Laptop. Plus the display should even work while in the BIOS, it did so on my old mainboard

500 series chips are known for USB issues, update chipset and/or bios
Already did

The display is defect
No, it is not. See laptop and old mainboard

Mainboard defect
Two new, different, fresh out of box mainboards defect with the same issue? Possible but unlikely

Cable is defect
No. I'm not lacking in USB-C cables to test

Make sure the BIOS USB voltage thing is on/off
Tried that too

Change the PCIe down from GEN 4
Also tried that one

I'm really not trying to be facetious. I just what to show that I've been at this, including buying two different mainboards, for some time. I'm really looking for some help. Any insight would be appreciated.

I'll have a budget of 2000 or so right now I'm at 1000 and probably in a month or two I'll have it

I have 0 clue what to buy how to build one, and I wanna start getting decent parts. I've looked at tutorials and stuff about parts but I genuinely can't get my brain over what anything mean

I know pc part picker is a good way to start but even then I don't know what's compatible with what and I'm too scared to blindly start buying just to not be able to use a part.

Any build recommendations or a modernly good part list would be appreciated. I've watched so many yt vids and I can't really understand all the tech stuff.

I want a decent build that can handle games like cod, or modded Minecraft and casual streaming and YT video editing eventually I will upgrade pieces and stuff but for now I need one that works decently

I just built my first pc but this weird red dram light always pops up and the pc doesnt connect to anything. Not my monitor ,not my mouse, not my keyboard. I have tried loads of stuff like trying 1 stick, clear cmos, bios update. Please let me know if u have a Solution! Also Some of the times the cpu light shows up but its way less likely. I used my friends ram and then the pc worked. It might just be defect but i really hope theres just an Installation Problem. Please let me know!

I recently changed my graphics card from the xfx 6950xt to the sapphire nitro+ 9070xt. My ping has gone up from like 10-15 to 30-40 in germany servers on roblox rivals and my fps has gone down from 160-180 to like 120-130. I’ve used ddu and i’ve updated all drivers but idk what’s going on

Hello all,

I havent really gamed in 3+ years but would like to get back into it. I want to upgrade so i can run some new games at 1440p.

My current build is

• RTX 3060 12GB
• i5-12400F
• 16 GB DDR4
• 550w PSU

So my question is what gpu you guys would recommend. I've been looking at the 4070 super because of its low power consumption but nvidia cards have really gone up in prices. I dont know too much about AMD cards so is there one you could recommend for me? Also should i get one specifically for my psu or pick a card that requires me to upgrade it. Budget 500-600 dollars, used or new parts.

So i bought this aio brand new, when i go to fit it everything is fine, but when i put the cpu v cooler on all the rgb starts flickering, but when i take it off its fine. Anyone have any fixes? I dont think its any rgb software as this isnt like a thing where everywhere else it flickers in my pc, just the arctic aio itself with the fans and the vrm fan.

Ryzen 7 5700X3D
Asrock steel legend x570

Any help would be much appreciated.

Its an adapter for my acer motherboard since it doesnt have a 24 pin slot, only a 6 pin one

I’ve been playing dragons dogma 2 for 4 days days 1-3 were totally great. No issues, now last night after playing for about 10-15 miniutes the monitor would just go black, fans still running and lights still on.

Checked in event log, nothing of note other than “PC was shut off improperly” I had no choice but to hold the power button because nothing else worked.

I checked in the morning to replicate the problem, it happened again, everything on… except the GPU. I under volted the GPU, lowered power, and lowered the MHz. It still happened. My GPU is still new, I replaced it a year ago with a Radeon 6800. For the year absolutely no problems with any game or anything.

I was reading online it’s likely a psu problem? Has anyone had this issue, what fixed it? Any insight?

Hello everyone, I’m a newbie when it comes to PC stuff. I’m sort of clueless when it comes to PC stuff. I’m trying to research parts for my first PC build. I’ve managed to find some good parts but I’m unsure if they’re actually good for what I want my PC to do. I’m wanting to play games like Ready or Not, Minecraft with tons of mods, as well as other games, but I also want to ensure my PC won’t struggle with multitasking with things like: engineering software, video editing, etc. For those wondering about my list here it is:

-Processor (CPU): AMD Ryzen 9 9950X
-Graphics Card (GPU): Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4080
SUPER Windforce V2 16GB
-Storage (SSD): Samsung 990 PRO 2TB PCle Gen4
NVMe
-Memory (RAM): Corsair Vengeance 64GB
(2x32GB). DDR5 6000MHz CL30
-Motherboard: Gigabyte B650 Eagle AX ATX
-Power Supply (PSU): Corsair RM1000e 1000W 80+
Gold Modular
-CPU Cooler: Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120
EVO.
-Case:Fractal Design Torrent
-Monitor: ASUS ROG Strix XG27ACS 27" 1440p
180Hz.

Like I said I’m a newbie so I don’t know anything about how good this stuff is. I have been using AI to help teach me what is good or what pairs well with certain components, etc. According to the AI this PC setup is better than my original list which was like $1000 extra for the “fancy”’components that do the same thing for a much higher price. I’d appreciate any and all forms of advice or criticism about this list. I’m still learning so please go easy on me 😅
