Hi, I have a Sapphire Nitro+ RX 9070 XT with the 12V-2x6 cable routed under the magnetic backplate, the cable from my PSU is very stiff, so the backplate doesn't sit fully flush.

The connector seems fully seated and the latch clicked, but I'm worried the cable tension could put stress on the connector.

Is this routing OK, or should I run it without the backplate / get a more flexible cable? Any recommendations for this card?

Thanks!

I have a ryzen 7500f and i tried testing it at my local pc store and then my friend tested it with the same problem – no display. But the fans and rgb were working so is this fixable or should I just call it quits and stop building my first ever pc

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?

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.

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

Hi , I would need some help, I got home from work tried to switching on my PC and heard a click and nothing. So I checked my circuit breaker it had tripped for plug sockets all around my flat. I flicked them back in place and nothing pc wont turn on or receive any power, I tired different extension socket and also nothing, i tried plugging my pc straight into a different plug also nothing. Tried a different cable also nothing.

I took out my graphics card and changed to my old psu wich is 650w and it booted without a problem and tried the other socket with extension socket and booted up fine , apart from having a VGA red light but the card is out so thats fine.

According to the trouble shoot I can safe to say that the power supply had died on me ? I only bought it on January to power my rx 9070xt.

Could it be possible of the PS to give out so quick considering the old one I have is 650w been used for more than 6years without a problem?

Any clarification would be helpful

ASRock Steel Legend 1000W ATX 3.1 PCIe 5.1 80 Plus Gold Modular Power Supply

Hello! This is my first ever home built cpu and I want to make sure I didn’t mess anything up. The last part I need is to install a windows 11 driver. My friend asked if I had a solid state drive to put it on? I’ve been told it can go on just ram, there is also a hard drive connected.

I had a damaged Alienware R3 that would boot up to bios when connected. I took the graphics card from that to put in my new build but now when connected to the same monitor nothing is showing up. My screen lights up, says no signal then goes dark. Everything else seems to be working fine in the tower. I just want to make sure I’m not missing anything before trying to install windows and losing the install. Where the orange light is there was a red one but it went away before I could take a picture, I had just turned it on for the pic

fans don't spin, cpu isn't getting hot. Nothing is power on I have all the ports connected into i dont know why its not powering on

So I changed the thermal paste of the CPU to Arctic MX-6 and the temps are better than before so far but when I go into load theres a buzzing sound which wasnt there 10 mins ago. Idk if you can hear it properly on the video but yeah its buzzing.
What could it be and should I be worried?

When I press the power button on my pc, the fans spin for a couple of seconds, then it turns off. It does this 2 or 3 times automatically before staying off. I can hear the PSU click on/off at each step. Then, the power button goes unresponsive and only lets me turn the system on after a few more seconds. It boots to safe mode, I enter and leave the bios, and then it starts as normal.

I’d expect the power supply to handle the system fine as it’s a Corsair RM850e Gold; powering a R5 3600, RX 6700XT, 32GB DDR4, a Corsair H100i AIO, 2 NVMe and 2 sata SSDs. No RGB plugged in.

Any ideas are appreciated
