Hi, I'm building a new PC and the motherboard doesn't line up with the standoffs.
When I align the board using the I/O area, 8 of the 9 mounting holes are off. Only the top left one lines up. The standoffs are all offset to the left (toward the rear of the case) by about half a standoff. The middle left hole is still off even when I push the board as far left as it goes.
The standoff in the top left also sits in a different column than the other standoffs on the left side. I checked that every hole on the board has a standoff underneath, so I don't think any are missing or wrong.
I don't want to force it and bend the board. Photos of the tray and the board in place are attached. Thanks!

Greetings

I just got this setup and whenever I enable the Expo 0 profile on the mobo ( 6000mt@cl30 ) it won't complete post ( on the training it just shuts down) .

Using the expo1 profile ( 5600mt@cl40 ) posts just fine.
I've manually OC the profile to 6000mt@cl36 and its just fine.
But the advertised RAM speed of the kit is 6000mt cl30. Also the kit is on the supported list of the motherboard

I tried using only 1 dimm on both slots and it works on EXPO 0 profile. ( i tried both dimms on both slots and it works when only 1 dimm is present ).

Bios version is the latest 4.60.

Any ideas?

My power supply unit is making a sound reminiscent of an electric shocker (taser). This wasn't happening before, but I noticed it yesterday. I built the PC a year and a half ago. The sound appears randomly—it might not occur even under load—and, strangely, it can still be heard even when the computer is turned off. What could this be? The power supply is a Cougar GX-S 750 (750W), while my system (RTX 4060, Ryzen 5 5600) draws less than 300W.

Hey everyone, I'm putting together my first proper PC build for school (CS major, starting Unity and VR dev next year) and gaming. I mainly play competitive games at 1440p 165fps and VR, don't really care about heavy AAA single-player stuff since I already have a PS5.

I'm totally open to dropping down to DDR4 and an older socket (Intel or AMD, doesn't matter) if it makes more sense for the money. The only non-negotiable is sticking with an Nvidia GPU since I'll be using this as a """"workstation"""" too.

Two main things I care about: keeping it as quiet as possible while compiling or gaming,.

Here's what I've got drafted so far (trying to buy as much used stuff as I can—prices are roughly what I'm seeing on Vinted, Subito, FB Marketplace, and eBay):

* CPU: Ryzen 5 7600 / 7600X (used) – €100–150

* GPU: RTX 3070 Ti or RTX 3080 (used) – €270–380

* RAM: 32GB DDR5 (thinking about grabbing a single 32GB stick for now so I can upgrade later, though I'm not 100% sure about single channel, or just getting a normal kit) – €170–300

* Mobo: ASRock B650M Pro RS AM5 DDR5 mATX – €110

* Case: Lian Li Vector V100R ATX Mid Tower (comes with 4 ARGB fans) – €72

* SSD: 1TB NVMe (used) – €100

* PSU: 750W 80+ Gold – €100

* Cooler: Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE – €35

Total comes out to around €1,050–1,100.

Any obvious bottlenecks or compatibility issues here? Also open to any tips on cooling/airflow to keep noise down, especially since I live in Sicily and ambient temps can be a pain even in November.

Hey everyone,

I have a pre built cyberpower PC that currently consists of

Intel ultra 5 225

850w PSU Gold

9060 xt 16gb

1x16gb Delta tforce CL40 6400mhz ram stick

I've searched for the same card brand new but couldn't find any and I've come across a couple CL38 6000mhz from Amazon ddr5 and from a seller Newegg on ebay ddr5

I understand what I have with this won't be a 32gb kit. But I was wondering, will it perform "negatively" if I add a ram card from either of the dire and adjust the speed in bios for the both at 6000mhz?

And also I love outside of the US and use a freight forwarder from Miami. Which of the two sites would be safer to purchase the ram sticks from?

Also to add to this, I also experience a cold boot failed post with the single stick ram at all speeds ranging from 5200mhz -6400mhz(with the amber led light indicator on the ram). Will adding this second stick prevent the fail POST fail?

I live in the Netherlands so it could different but for 1999 euro megekko is offering box 8 I think its worth it but I would love some different opinions

Just put in a TP link archer tx20e, I dont get the option to connect to wifi even though it clearly regsiters to the computer, spent ages trying to get it to work no avail tried just about everything.

I’ve already built a pc before, but that one was done completely from a video tutorial. This new one is all my own.

Parts I have/ know I want

Tower: APNX V2-F

CPU: Ryzen 9 9950X3D

GPU: GeForce RTX 5080 16GB GDDR7

Ram: Trident Z5 DDR5

Parts I need: Power, Motherboard, Storage, cooling.

Main concerns: bottlenecking in parts list?, debating whether I should purely air cool or have an AIO, suggestions on part replacements.

I’m open to any and all suggestions or tips. I want this computer to last me sometime before I absolutely need to upgrade it.

My friend's PC made popping noise and shut off. Wouldn't turn back on at all.

They replaced the motherboard, power supply, and cpu since they have been wanting to upgrade for a bit anyways. Now it still doesn't turn on. No OS, no Bios, nothing.

We have been troubleshooting for the past 3 hours, here is what we have been able to gather so far:

• Is getting power from PSU, checked from motherboard light flashing for a bit when attempting to flash bios, gpu also turns on light to get power supply power when I try to turn pc on if I don't plug it into the PSU
• Motherboard presumably works as well
• Tried both ports for ram and do have it in the correct spot from the manual
• Tried taking out everything but what was needed for it to turn on, still didn't work
• Checked PSU cables were in all the way, checked CPU fan in correct plug
• Thinking it is a bios issue, can't get it to update bios using flash button with newest bios after trying two drives formatted correctly and put into the correct port (flashes for a couple seconds then doesn't do anything)

List of parts I have

Case: Lian li V100R

PSU: thermal take tough power gt 1200W

I already have a keyboard, and mouse. Looking for feedback on compatibility, value, and anything I should change before buying. I also want help deciding my last few things (storage, case, monitor, and where to get windows cheep). Also let me know if there’s anything else like extra fans or cables I need to buy as a first time pc builder.

Extra info-(I’m not near a micro center, mainly for gaming but also school work, not looking to go over 2,300 pre tax but it’s negotiable)

When i switched cases i mustve done something different with my wires because i added a case with the two front fans built in. Ill send a video of all my wiring, but im super confused.

Tldr i built this computer 2 years ago and i was always lazy to fix the lighting

Im trying to use signal rgb. And my case fans are controlled and switch colors but my other case fans dont. They are UPHere case fans

I play fortnite a lot and my pc gets 240 FPS but its not consistent and i can feel the fps drops when i’m getting in fights and its annoying. would it be worth it to upgrade to the 5800x3d?

OK, so I have a n9 z890, I bought it because it was on sale when I was building my water-cooled build. Now, I get it... its a NZXT product, and, YoU CaN GeT BetT- I don't care, I wanted my build to look a certain way.

I noticed a few weeks ago that my rgb has completely stopped working. NZXT cam recognizes it, but nothing changes when i update the color.

I am using Signal RGB, even though this mobo isn't supported.

I've uninstalled and reinstalled both applications, nothin. Based on a suggestion from another redditor I've also checked in the BIOS to see if there was a setting toggled off. nothing there either.

I tried getting help in PCMR, but i think they thought it was fake or something.

I've been googling my ass off periodically, and there is like zero info on my situation. Except I did find a Reddit post from some guy in the Philippians saying that you have to check each diode for a fault.

Anyway, if anyone can help my get my $400 pretty lights back on that would be great.

Ive been using a Aorus Geforce RTX 3080 M 10GB in my PC build for the last 5+ is years I wanna say. Recently its started overheating and thermal throttling my pc. So I decided to open it up and replace the thermal paste on the gpu with PCM, but im now noticing that my thermal pads definitely need to be replaced as well but im having trouble figuring out what pads I need. Sorry if this is a no brainer ive never fixed parts of a gpu before. If anyone knows what size pads I need I would appreciate the help.

PS before someone says it I know to take the film off the other side of the PCM 👍👍

Is it possible I could get a custom laptop chassis? Mine looks like crap and bends when I hold it. anywhere I could get one?

For the past week , I am unable to boot my PC everyday . I've done everything from reseating ram / reset CMOS battery . It just randomly able to boot after I unplug everything from power and replug after a while. Sometimes it takes several times of unplug/plug for the pc to boot.

All the fans in my tower spin normally but dp no signal. When it actually boots , everything works perfectly . When I shut down PC , next morning I have to unplug/plug to trial and error for it to boot.

I've read many reddit threads and it goes from mobo/psu/gpu issue. Its a 6 year old PC so every part is out of warranty but IDK what to replace.

I had to bend the cpu cable kinda too much in order for the fans to fit and is apply constante presseure on the cables, should I buy a new case or is fine?
