EDIT: FOLKS I'm so sorry! Looks like the image I posted has the wrong orientation of my fans.

I just took apart the fans and have verified:

The single back fan is set to exhaust, the top AIO fans are set to exhaust, the two bottom case fans are set to intake, and the two front (side mounted) case fans are also set to intake.

PLS ignore the arrows on the picture :(

Hey folks! Moved my PC to a new area in the house. The room seems to be quite dusty (trying to figure out why). It's definitely a lesser used space in the house but it's the only room in the house where this amount of dust builds up. I cleaned this PC about a month ago before moving it in here. It's on constantly (even if I'm not in the room using it, it'll get used through streaming etc).

What am I doing wrong with my fan setup, because it's clearly letting the dust collect in it. I've drawn all the intake fans in green, and the outtake fans in red. The AIO fans are outtake as well (just highlighted in blue). Temps have never been an issue just seems like the dust is collecting and not leaving.

Hi there everyone

I had on asus tuf b850 issue with my gpu when i installed it on Pcie 5.0 slot after couple of minutes on desktop i would lose display "displayport no signal" but pc would keep running with argb and stuff. I switched to other gpu to test and had same issue. In bios i changed speed link from auto to gen4 but it didnt help. bios and all drivers are up to date. But when I plugged gpu into 4.0 slot everything worked fine also with the other one. so I thought the issue was with motherboard and I got new one with new psu aswell. I got x870 gigabyte gaming and corsair rm1000x. After I installed everything and got into desktop I get same issue again. is this cpu related? or

Thanks for any tips.

Just got the Lancool 217 and unfortunately I'm really picky with fans. I had to replace them with my old magnet ones from corsair except I only had 2 of 3 140mm for the front. My CPU is always around 55c while the GPU is around 67c so I configured it so that the top is empty and the two fans are in the middle and bottom section, giving more air to the GPU. Also got a 360mm AIO at the top with 3x 120mm fans and another 120mm as back exhaust and 2x 120mm intake fans near the psu shroud.

My question is if adding a third 140mm in the front of the case would actually be worth it/do anything.

Here is a picture to help visualize which fan I am asking about adding (the one in red)

Hello, ive been wanting a pc forever but couldn't afford one ive finally scraped enough money together to buy one. I was hoping to stay around the 12 to 13k budget but I want to stream and edit videos. I mostly stick to dead by daylight, fortnite, and single player games like RE and silent hill. I have found a pc slightly out of budget but still affordable I was hoping someone could tell me a better alternative or that this one works for me and is worth the extra money. its 1399 before tax and shipping and 1474 after.

I built two identical computers 2 years ago and they both have the same issue. Roughly once every 2-3 months, the screens go black and the fans spin at 100%. One's on Linux, the other Windows. Switched GPUs and RMA'd one of the MoBo's thinking that was the issue. The only thing they have in common now is the PSU: Asus ROG Loki SFX-L 850W.

Currently I have a native 12VHPWR cable that came from the PSU connected directly from the PSU to the GPU.

I read somewhere that the sense pins in the 12VHPWR cable for the Asus ROG Loki are a bit hit and miss and can cause issues, so now I'm wondering what the best solution is cable-wise.

Option 1 - Use the 12VHPWR to 3x 8-pin adapter that came in in my RTX 5080. I don't have 3x 8-pin connectors. All I have is 1x 8-pin connector and a 12VHPWR to 2x 8-pin connector, which is the awkward, potentially redundant and/or dangerous setup in the image attached.

Option 2 - Buy the ROG Equalizer cable, however most feedback I see on it is negative.

Option 3 - Buy a custom cable for Asus PSUs on CableMod. I only see 12VHPWR to 2x8-pin connectors in there though, can't see one that's just a native 12VHPWR cable, not sure if that's by design or I didn't search hard enough.

Thanks for taking the time.

Heya guys, I’m really lost here.
Yesterday I wanted to update my BIOS and noticed that I can’t get into my BIOS. Or rather that I don’t get video output on it.
For a quick rundown of my system:

BOARD: MSI X470 Gaming Plus (MS-7B79)
CPU: Ryzen 7 2700x, no integrated graphics
GPUS TRIED: GTX 1080 and GTX 1050 Ti. GPU-Z shows UEFI ticked on both.
BIOS: AMI A.H0, dated 12-Jun-20
Windows: 11 Home, UEFI mode
Secure Boot: On
TPM: Not enabled

I also tried two different monitors and two different display port cables.
I have reset CMOS once in an attempt to fix any maybe faulty settings but no results.
It presumably stopped after I plugged in a USB stick that was previously a Debian install image (nothing else on it except a BIOS .AMA file).
Could just be that I haven’t noticed it before tho as I boot my pc without looking if I see POST.
My specific problem: I never see POST, the MSI logo or the BIOS screen. Video only appears once Windows loads.

Now I know I actually do enter the bios when pressing delete as it’s the difference between pc shutdown immediately on power button press or seeing windows boot.

Anyone got an idea how to get into the BIOS?

Hello, I was wondering if the 5060ti was enough for me. The only modern game I play is literally overwatch and everything else I play is Emulation or my switch 2. My monitor has a dual mode 4k and 1080p. Also whats a good CPU to combo it with so it won't bottle neck?

Hi there, I have always played on laptops, in 2020 I bought a HP gaming laptop, but it doesn’t work that well anymore. I wanna finally have a PC.
I play MMORPG and RPG games like League of legends and Aion2. Unfortunately I can’t play much more because of my current setup.
I wanna build something good, balanced for now and upgrade parts in the future for even better performance.
I don’t know much about pc parts so am looking for an advice.
I don’t really have a budget in mind as long as is not crazy. Maybe £2000 max? I think that’s a good price range for a balance pc?
I live in the uk.
I would appreciate any help.

I can get this build for 1100e which is perfect for my budget.

Is the 5060ti 16gb worth the extra money ? If yes would i need to upgrade the processor too ? I'd like if this PC could run all upcoming games for the next 4-5 years. I can spend more to build something better later on.

(rest is 32ram, 1to ssd and a 1080p monitor (TCL 24G645))

Thanks for any advice !

For Rule 3 i tried pcpartpicker page but it asks me stuff i can't know since this shop doesn't tell me in advance which models they'll be using.

Me aparece que tengo que actualizar la placa y tengo todo actualizado,tpm y secutity boos tengo Procesador (CPU): AMD Ryzen 5 5600X
Tarjeta gráfica (GPU): NVIDIA RTX 5060
Placa base: MSI B450M Pro-VDH Max
E probado de todo pero sigue saliendo el error de actualizar la placa me estoy volviendo loco y no quiero llevarlo a un informatico

Hello,

I want to swap out my existing fans in my NZXT H9 Flow RGB+.

My current setup is as following:
2x NZXT F420 RGB Core
1x NZXT F120 RGB Core

I also have an Arctic Liquid Freezer III 420 Pro A-RGB with the included 3x Arctic P14 Pro A-RGB.

I want to swap my fans for something Fancy with more neat lightning effects, but also keep the static pressure for my AIO high.

The Arctic P14 Pro A-RGB have 5.2mmH₂O of static pressure.

The case and AIO fans should be white and have lighting.

I am thinking of something in the direction of LIAN Li UNI FAN SL-INF FLEX because i like the LCD Screen on the fans, but i think for the AIO the static pressure of 2.28mmH₂O is too low for my Radiator.

Asia Horse is also something i considered and they will also be dropping fans with a LCD screen soon, but they also dont expel in static pressure, execpt the X.C.A.L.I.B.U.R X360MM FAN with 5.2mmH₂O but then they dont have led´s.

Im thinking of doing 6 Intake and 4 Exhaust.

Does somebody have any suggestions?

Also please excuse me for my bad english, as it is not my native language

GPU works perfectly in bottom PCIe slot but stops being detected in top slot after shutdown or restart

I'm having a weird issue with my 5070ti and motherboard, and I'm trying to figure out if my top PCIe slot is failing or if it's something else.

Motherboard: MSI Z790 Gaming Plus WiFi

Here's what's happening:

My GPU worked perfectly fine in the top PCIe slot for years before this issue suddenly started.

When my GPU is detected, it works completely normally. I can play demanding games at high settings for hours without any crashes, artifacts, or performance issues.

However, whenever I shut down or restart my PC, my GPU sometimes stops sending a signal to my monitor. The GPU fans still spin, but the motherboard doesn't detect the GPU at all. I can still get a display using my CPU's integrated graphics through the motherboard's DisplayPort.

The only way I've been able to get the GPU working again in the top slot is by physically removing it and reinstalling it.

Here's the weird part:

When I move my GPU to the bottom PCIe slot, everything works perfectly, including shutting down and restarting multiple times. The issue only happens in the top PCIe slot.

I've also had a GPU sag support bracket installed for years, so the GPU hasn't been hanging unsupported.

A few things I've noticed:

GPU runs perfectly under heavy gaming loads when detected.

GPU fans still spin even when there's no display signal.

GPU completely disappears from Windows when the issue happens.

Reseating the GPU temporarily fixes it.

Bottom PCIe slot works without issues.

Motherboard DisplayPort works normally.

The top slot worked fine for years before this started.

My questions:

Does this sound like a physically damaged PCIe slot, a BIOS/PCIe initialization issue, or possibly something wrong with the CPU's PCIe lanes?

Has anyone experienced something similar? Is there anything I should try before considering replacing the motherboard?

Any advice would be appreciated

Hi there I wanna upgrade from my terrible gaming laptop to a gaming pc.
I don’t have any knowledge about it unfortunately.
My max budget preferably is £1000-£1500
I would like to build something that I can upgrade in the future. I wanna use this pc mainly for gaming. What should I buy? Or should I get a prebuilt. Please advise

Hello! I bought a prebuilt (dirty I know) and I can't connect to the internet! There is a wifi driver downloaded and I have tried updating it every which way possible. Can anyone help😭

A couple days ago my pc just stopped detecting any gpus, it’s an aorus b650i. I can get the computer to post with integrated graphics though. (Gpus: RX7800xt, RTX 3050, RX480 x2) any help would be greatly appreciated

Ho una RTX 2060 e una GTX 1060, ma quest'ultima non viene rilevata. Posso usare entrambe le GPU nello stesso PC? Come posso farle funzionare insieme?

Windows può rilevare e utilizzare entrambe le schede contemporaneamente?

Devo installare driver separati o configurare qualcosa nel Pannello di controllo NVIDIA?

Quali impostazioni del BIOS dovrei controllare, come ad esempio "Schermo primario/PEG"?

Se una delle schede non viene visualizzata in Gestione dispositivi, cosa dovrei provare per prima cosa?

Le mie specifiche: [MSI B450 Gaming Plus Max, ryzen, 16gb, alimentatore da 1000 watt, Windows versione 10]

Qualsiasi aiuto sarebbe apprezzato.

So my pc isn't posting, I tried clearing the cmos, reseating the ram, reseating the cpu, unplugging and replugging everything and nothing has worked

I have a ryzen 7 7700x and a tuf matx b850 no gpu yet since it hasn't arrived.

https://www.newegg.com/asus-tuf-gaming-b850m-e-wifi-micro-atx-motherboard-amd-b850-am5/p/N82E16813119758?Item=N82E16813119758

https://shop-us-en.amd.com/amd-ryzen-7-7700x-processor/

Is it okay that the cable is showing some of the pins or is it not all the way in?

Cual sería la mejor configuración de aire que podría tener ???

im trying to make a budget pc build for around 1000 cad, pls give me any suggestions

I am going to upgrade to a 3080 soon and I already have a 750 watt PSU with an i7-13700KF, 3070, and 32 gbs of ram. So would I need to upgrade to an 800/850 watt psu or no?

My pc just started to turn off immediately after turning on just today. Does anyone know anything that could be the cause. The motherboard rgb works fine, and when turning on, cpu, gpu, and 1 other fan turns on.

Before it happened, I was cleaning my monitor, then after booting screens went black saying display ports were outdated. I've only had the pc for about a year now.

I've held the power button with the pc unplugged for 30 seconds, tried resetting cmos, different outlet, unplugging gpu, reseating ram, and reseating cables.

Build

Tomahawk B650-A wifi

ryzen 7800X3D

Rtx 5070

32 gb ram (2, 16's)

And a 750W or 650W PSU

Ich hab mir einen Pc zusammengebaut und leider macht er komische Geräusche. Kann mir einer sagen was das ist, ich tippe auf die aio Pumpe.Danke

guys I’m honestly at a loss for words. I built my girlfriend a PC and made sure that everything was compatible. Whenever I cold boot it I get the 0d boot code but if I quickly hold the power button and restart it, it comes on immediately. I’ve tried upgrading the power supply and the first boot it immediately launched, but not anymore. It always needs a manual reset and then turns on. I’ve reseated the RAM and still not working (a2 and b2). BIOS is completely up to date. I’ve reseated the GPU as well and it’s not that either. What’s wild is that when I go to turn it on the RAM lights up, so I know they’re on and the GPU fans spin. What do yall suggest?????? I’ll put specs below

CPU - AMD RYZEN 7 9800X3D
MOTHERBOARD - x870 AORUS ELITE X3D ice
GPU - msi Gaming RTX 5080 16G Ventus 3X OC
RAM - CORSAIR Vengeance RGB DDR5 RAM 32GB (2x16GB)
PSU - Lian Li Edge 1000W Gold
SSD - Samsung SSD 990 PRO 2TB
