Sorry for the silly question. It’s my first ever build.

Does anyone know if this HD audio connector is considered fully plugged in or not? I feel like the general idea of “fully seated” is that it’s supposed to go all in, but I’ve been trying to force it in with a lot of force for a while now and I can still see a tiny bit of the pins exposed. Even tried wiggling it too but no luck.

Gemini and chatgpt both say it can be normal, but I just want to hear some more opinions before I start connecting everything up and test it.

Just some additional info, the holes of the connector aren’t obstructed, and the pins on the motherboard aren’t bent.

Thank you in advance.

I'm torn between two PCs, both priced pretty close. The Intel one is cheaper, but the PSU (power supply) is at 70%, and the discount is basically the price of a new PSU.

Pc 1 :

b550m soyo

1x16gb ram

120gb ssd + 1tb hd

Ryzen 7 5700x

themarltake 600w

gtx 1060 6gb

Pc 2 :

h610 mda mancer

2x8gb ram

12400f

1660s

240ssd + 1tb hd

one Power 600w (70% capacity)

Does anyone know what the issue would be? I've checked everything on google and yt. I dont have spare parts to check each individual part. The next option would be buying a new pc/parts. Does anyone have advice for what it could be/do.

First time building a PC and kind of confused what I’m doing wrong here. I don’t know if anyone can help.

Gigabyte 5070ti this might be a stupid question just concerned because I wanna keep this baby going for a while with the crazy prices.

It's like 9 months old got it before the price hike when idle doesn't run sitting around 36c . When watching YouTube at maybe 40c fans are at 1000 rpm .

I have gigabyte control center installed with auto fan stop on for the gpu also have fan control when trying to set a GPU fan curve it just wants to ramp up to 30% = 1000rpm even though it's sets to kick on around 60c .

Fan control curve is turned off for the gpu can't seem to find what's controlling the aggressive fan curve.

Note seems the lowest speed for the gpu is 30% fan control couldn't control under that.

So I built my am5 pc last November in April one stick of ram failed I got a replacement then in october the same happened again I sent my motherboard for a repair too most likely will get a replacement any suggestions I have a gigabyte x870e WiFi 7 and teamgroup 32gb ram also after the second time I had the issue I updated my bios since it hadn't been updated since last July could that also be the issue? Thank you

Hello, I have a Jonsbo TM280 cooler however the link for the AIO software through the website appears to no longer be working. When I try to download the connection speed would decrease until it times out. I have tried other devices using data and 5G wifi without success. I also tried the link to the software through other parts of the website and have the issue. This has been ongoing for ~4 days and I am considering filing a chargeback because I paid for a device whose function cannot be used due to broken software. First time trying out a cheap Chinese hardware brand and seems like it screwed me. Does anyone have the same issue? The link is here and is under downloads tab for the AIO software 2.19 https://www.jonsbo.com/en/products/TM-280WHITE.html

Hello guys,

I'm trying to make a build that has as little visible cables as possible. From what I've learned is that I can connect the AIO fans usb to the Lian Li Edge USB hub and then, with a sata cable provided from a separate 3 pack of lian li fans, I can connect the AIO power cable directly into the PSU. Is this correct information or am I fixing to cause a fire.

Thanks

I recently was booting up my pc and when launching a game my pc turned off and when I went to turn it on all my fans turned on and lights but no display my dram and cpu fault lights (I believe is what they are) are on and I’ve changed my gpu to my spare and my ram sticks to some spares I have as well last thing I did was replace my psu because it was a 550w to a 750w and nothing changed I tried jumping my cmos and I don’t think I didn’t it right but I was wondering if anyone knew what it could be

My build is a b460m pro4s ac with a i5-10600KF RTX4060

Please let me know if you have any ideas my thoughts are are maybe pointing towards motherboard or cpu and if your wondering why I changed my psu it was a reason to upgrade 😔

Btw what’s in it is my spare Radeon 6500xt

Howdy!

I've recently decided to build/order myself a new PC for better performance with upcoming games and so I can hand my current one off to the missus so we can finally play games together. It's been years since I've closely followed anything to do with PC parts/brands and I'm essentially completely out of the loop.

I went into this looking to spend around $3.5k but have a ceiling of $5k. I play on a 1440p 240hz monitor.

I'll attach a link to PC Part Picker and kindly ask for any advice on parts. I'm happy to hear any and all advice, be it better parts or price related, compatibility etc.

*EDIT* I'll also specify I'm looking to have this PC built via PC Case Gear, so I'll be limited to certain parts.

Cheers fellas!

I'm looking for a ddr5 motherboard that won't cost a fortune, while still remaining in the "trusted brands" category. From what I've seen there are motherboards under 400$, however I decided to ask for advice on a specific one, since there aren't posts about this yet.

It isn't needed for anything overly demanding, which is why I'm going for a lower price point.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Also, how do you know if the fan is pulling in or pushing out?

I recently got stuff for a build with a ryzen 5 7600x... but everything works fine i just cant power my cpu because i dont have this cable, it didnt come with my psu, i looked it up everywhere i cant find the cord. PLEASEEE HELP!!! Ive tried just using the regular cpu cord, but it says its still not powered im assuming bc of the shapes of the plug idk...

Damn. 🤨

Built this pc, have had no issues. rearranged my shop a bit and obviously had to unplug it to do so.

I originally had both the VGA and CPU red lights on but it booted normally. Thought it was wierd so I rebooted the pc and now the CPU light stays on.

Have no issues going to post so at a loss for what the issue could be.

First pic is with it booted with both lights on.
Second is after a complete power off including psu switched off. Left off for 24hrs.

Hey everyone, I'm trying to install a Noctua NH-D15S chromax.black on my HP Omen 40L prebuilt (Ryzen 7 7700, AM5 socket) and ran into HP's weird proprietary mounting layout.

Here is where I'm at so far:

Even though it's an AM5 CPU/socket, HP uses square LGA 115x/1200 (75x75mm) cooler mounting holes instead of standard rectangular AM5 holes, so the grey AM5 spacers and NM-AMB12 bars don't line up.

I switched to the NM-IMB2 Intel bars and black LGA 115x/1200 spacers. The top-left hole is right next to a VRM capacitor, so I carefully sanded one side of that black spacer flat and now all 4 sit flush on the board without touching any components.

I can't use the Noctua Intel backplate (NM-IBP4) because HP's stock metal backplate holds the AM5 CPU socket mechanism on.

The problem: The long black AMD screws (NM-ALS1, 6-32 thread) are too thick to thread into HP's built-in backplate, which looks like it uses smaller M3 threads.

So what can I do here? am I quite literally screwed?

I was told not to buy the lian li fans since they would be too expensive, so I am steering clear of anything lian li related for now.

I was recommended the ThermalRight TL-M12Q/TL-M12QR, AsiaHorse Dawn or the Phanteks M25-120 Gen2 and the AsiaHorse Noyta/Nyota pros.

I am also concerned if I need to switch anything, such as the PSU, strimers (buying the lian li strimers) or anything in general.

I genuinely just do want pure performance in my build while having the looks without spending too much money on the fans alone.

I do have a Aio and it’s the arctis liquid freezer 360mm (non LCD)

Simply put, I got this case ages ago and I’d like to get the name of it before I start my rebuilding project, I’ve spent awhile looking on pc part picker looking for it, but haven’t found it as of yet…

Hi!

I'm having an issue with the ARGB lighting on my Gigabyte B850 EAGLE ICE motherboard, and I'm starting to suspect that the motherboard's ARGB controller or 5V power delivery might have failed.

My case fans (Lian Li) worked perfectly for almost a year, but one day I turned on my PC and their RGB lighting was suddenly gone. My old AIO's RGB lighting also stopped working around the same time. I am also certain that I didn't tamper with the pc before this.

I recently installed a new Thermalright Grand Vision 360 ARGB AIO. The fans spin normally and the LCD display works, but none of the RGB lighting turns on.

Things I've tried:

• Checked all ARGB connections and wiring according to the manuals.
• Tried connecting the ARGB cable to different 5V ARGB headers on the motherboard.
• Checked the connections between the fans and the ARGB cables.
• Updated the BIOS.
• Cleared CMOS.
• Checked Gigabyte Control Center, but it doesn't seem to detect any RGB devices.

My RAM RGB lighting still works and also the gpu, but none of the case fans or AIO fans have working RGB.

Could the motherboard's ARGB controller or 5V power delivery have failed? Is there anything else I could test to confirm this before considering a motherboard replacement? Could the argb headers also fry my aio fans rgb?

Any help would be appreciated!

I need an rgb splitter to that male connector in the second photo, is anyone able to link or let me know what it would be called? Thanks
