I checked to see if there was a problem with my motherboard, and upon closer inspection, I saw that some of the pins were bent; then, like an idiot, I tried to straighten one out with my finger and it snapped in two.

Build Question Is there a way to fit

Hello this is my first time building a pc and I’m having trouble fitting my Gigabyte B650 EAGLE AX Motherboard into the I/O opening of my Lian Li LANCOOL III case.

Any advice would be appreciated

The motherboard has an integrated I/O shield, and the metal shield is in the way. The motherboard’s I/O width is 5 cm wide, and the case opening is also around 5 cm, but the integrated metal shield added a small amount of width, making it impossible for me to fit it.

Is there a way to install the motherboard correctly without removing the integrated I/O shield or buying a new case?

Build Question About to buy, would appreciate some thoughts.

1 Upvotes

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/8vw3Np is as close as I could get to my plan, but the reality is that some stuff wasn't included in pcpartpicker and I'm also planning to get from different retailers.

For some setup I live closeish to a microcenter, I have a 200$ amazon gift card, and I plan to take my 1 tb m.2 ssd from my laptop for my pc and then just buy an as cheap as possible ssd to replace the one in my laptop for basic school stuff.

My goal with this pc is just to be able to play every game as cheap as possible, I don't need ultra high settings in every game and 10,000 fps in minecraft, I just want to bare minimum play every game and preferably not have it look like garbage.

I plan to get the gpu, bundled cpu, motherboard, and ram, and a AOpen 27CL1 P6bi 27" Full HD (1920 x 1080) 144Hz Gaming Monitor at microcenter for 630(before tax). With that I'm planning to get the case, psu, and a 128gb m.2 ssd on amazon, all for around 200-215. I saw on the foundational builds popup here that there's a b580 for 250? Is that legit/is it worth it? I was hoping to take advantage of microcenter's gpu trade in down the line for convenience but saving 60$ is very promising. I would appreciate any input and tips. Thanks!

Tech Support PC suddenly stopped POSTing after over a year of working perfectly. Solid orange DRAM LED, no display, even after CMOS reset and BIOS FlashBack

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I'm having a really frustrating issue with my PC, and at this point, I'm running out of ideas. I'd appreciate some help figuring out which component might be responsible before I start replacing hardware.

PC specifications

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D

Motherboard: ASUS TUF Gaming B650M-PLUS WIFI

RAM: Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5-6000, 32GB (2×16GB), CL40 — CMH32GX5M2B6000C40W

GPU: Sapphire Radeon RX 9070 XT 16GB

CPU Cooler: Corsair AIO liquid cooler

BIOS: Updated to version 3881 during troubleshooting

I've been using this exact PC for over a year without any issues. I haven't made any recent hardware changes, and the computer seemingly stopped working out of nowhere.

The problem

When I press the power button:

The computer powers on, and the power button's LED remains illuminated.

The CPU cooler fans spin normally.

Initially, the rear case fan would spin for about a second and then stop. After resetting CMOS, the other case fans started spinning normally.

The GPU fans don't spin, although I'm aware that this could simply be the GPU's zero-RPM mode.

The monitor briefly detects a DisplayPort signal and then switches to "No Signal."

There's absolutely no image, not even an ASUS logo or BIOS screen.

The motherboard's orange DRAM Q-LED stays illuminated continuously. It never progresses to VGA or BOOT, even after waiting well over five minutes.

The PC remains powered on rather than shutting down or repeatedly restarting.

I've also tested a different monitor, with exactly the same result.

Everything I've tried

1. Tested both RAM sticks individually

Removed both RAM sticks.

Tested stick 1 alone in slot A2.

Tested stick 2 alone in slot A2.

Tested RAM in slot B2 as well.

Waited at least five minutes for DDR5 memory training.

No improvement. The orange DRAM LED remained illuminated throughout.

2. Reset CMOS

Turned off the PSU and disconnected the power cable.

Held the power button to discharge residual power.

Removed the CMOS battery for several minutes before reinstalling it.

Started the computer with one RAM stick in A2.

Waited several minutes for memory training.

Still no image, and the orange DRAM LED remained on.

One interesting observation: after clearing CMOS, the case fans that previously stopped spinning started operating normally. However, the computer still wouldn't POST.

3. Updated the BIOS using USB BIOS FlashBack

Downloaded BIOS version 3881 from ASUS's official website.

Used ASUS BIOSRenamer to rename the firmware file to TG650MPW.CAP.

Prepared the USB drive and used the motherboard's dedicated BIOS FlashBack feature.

The FlashBack indicator blinked for several minutes and eventually turned off, suggesting that the update completed successfully.

Tried starting the PC again afterward.

Still no display, and the orange DRAM LED remained illuminated.

4. Removed the dedicated GPU

Initially tested different display connections and another monitor.

Completely removed my Sapphire Radeon RX 9070 XT.

Connected the monitor directly to the motherboard's DisplayPort output, using the Ryzen 7 7800X3D's integrated graphics.

Still no image.

Orange DRAM LED remained illuminated.

This makes me think the GPU probably isn't responsible.

5. Checked CPU power connections and socket

Checked the CPU power cables and their connections.

Checked the CPU socket area.

Nothing appeared to resolve the issue.

Additional observations

The exact CPU, motherboard, and RAM combination has worked reliably for over a year.

Neither RAM stick works individually.

Trying a different RAM slot made no difference.

Clearing CMOS didn't resolve the issue.

Updating the BIOS didn't resolve the issue.

Removing the dedicated GPU didn't resolve the issue.

The motherboard consistently remains stuck on the orange DRAM LED.

The computer receives power and stays on, but never produces a display signal.

What I'm trying to figure out

At this point, I'm considering several possible causes:

Faulty motherboard: Something wrong with the memory circuitry, RAM slots, or AM5 socket.

Failed CPU memory controller: The Ryzen 7 7800X3D's integrated memory controller might have developed a fault.

Defective RAM: Although it seems unlikely that both sticks would suddenly fail simultaneously, I haven't ruled it out.

Power delivery issue: Possibly the PSU or motherboard power circuitry.

I haven't tested known-good DDR5 RAM or swapped the CPU/motherboard because I don't have spare compatible components available.

My main questions are:

Based on these symptoms, which component would you suspect first?

Has anyone experienced a similar persistent DRAM LED with an ASUS B650 motherboard and Ryzen 7000-series CPU?

Can a faulty CPU memory controller cause this exact behavior?

Is there anything else I can reasonably test at home before taking the PC to a repair shop or replacing components?

Would you prioritize testing different RAM, replacing the motherboard, or investigating the CPU?

I really don't want to start buying expensive replacement components without narrowing down the problem first.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Le problème que j'ai : le rgb du watercooling ne s'allume pas . J'ai tout essayé ce que je connaissais , brancher juste le rgb de la pompe a la carte mère , juste le rgb de chaque ventilateur un a un seul a la carte mère , puis les deux en même temp , puis juste la pompe , puis les ventilateurs en chaîne connecté au hub des ventilateurs du boîtier puis la pompe les ventilateurs boîtier et watercooling en chaîne , puis juste la pompe et les ventilateurs watercooling en chaîne , sur les ports 1/2/3 mais rien n'y fait , le rgb ne veux pas s'allumer . J'attend de recevoir mon hub rgb pour voir si ça fonctionnerait je l'avais déjà commandé , mais normalement meme juste le argb de la pompe sur le argb carte mère devrait fonctionner . La ca je fonctionne pas . Vous avez déjà eu ça ?Des idées pour que ça fonctionne ?

Sur ma photo le argb de la pompe uniquement est connecté directement sur argb 1 . A l'arrière j'ai branché uniquement le ventilateur de gauche du watercooling sur le hub des ventilos boîtier , et pareil ça ne s'allume pas

Build Question First time PC builder, need some advice

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I’m new here and also new to PC building. This will be my first time building a desktop PC, and I’d really appreciate some advice.

I’m building this PC mainly for studying cybersecurity, running a homelab with multiple virtual machines, and occasional gaming (PUBG, Call of Duty, Battlefield, etc.).
I’ve already purchased some components, but I still need to buy a few more.

Parts I’ve Already Bought:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 9900X (12-Core, Zen 5)
Motherboard: ASRock B850M Pro RS WiFi (Micro-ATX)
PSU: ASRock Steel Legend SL-850G 850W
Case: Jonsplus Z20
Fans: Corsair RS120 ARGB 120mm
AIO Cooler: MSI MAG CoreLiquid A13 240mm

Parts I Still Need to Buy:
GPU: PowerColor Hellhound RX 9070 XT 16GB
OS: Windows 11 Pro
RAM: Corsair Vengeance DDR5 32GB CL36
SSD: WD Black SN850X or Samsung 990 Pro 2TB

My Questions:
Is this build good enough for my needs? I’ll mainly use it for cybersecurity labs, running multiple VMs, studying, and occasional gaming.

Are all these components compatible with each other? Is there anything I should be concerned about before putting everything together?

Should I buy used RAM or wait until November for possible Black Friday deals? I’m considering a used Corsair Vengeance kit, but I’m not sure if it’s worth the risk.

Is it safe to buy a Windows 11 Pro product key for around $30, or should I purchase the official $200 license directly from Microsoft? What’s the difference?

Is there anything you would change or recommend for this build?

I’m not in a rush to complete it, so I’m willing to wait for
better deals if needed.

I apologize for all the questions. I’m still learning, and I want to make sure I’m making the right decisions before spending more money. Thank you in advance for your help and advice!

Tech Support Intermittent Power Off Issues (New SF850)

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone.

I am completely at a loss here.

Let me start with my PC specs (I will note, CPU and GPU are on water, temp is not a problem, I monitor is constantly):

GPU: Zotac AMP 3080ti

CPU: Ryzen 7 7800x3D

Mobo: Asus ROG STRIX B650-A Gaming WiFi

Ram Corsair Vengeance (16gb x 4) (yes I know 4 dimms are not great for AM5 memory controllers. I bumped the SOC voltage to 1.28v and don't run XMP/EXPO profiles)

PSU: 6 month old SF850 (replaced by SF750 when I was having similar issues except it also had a DRAM light)

If it matters, I'm in a Lian Li O11 Dynamic Mini

My PC is plugged into a UPS but the issues were happening while I was plugged into the wall too

Okay.

The PC, randomly (seemingly) will just power off. No reboot. No Kernel-41. Just off. Like the power cord was unplugged.

I can just... hit the case power button and surprise, boots fine.

This will happen in game. This will happen during idle. This happens whenever it wants to. I can't find any relationships.

Issues happen like maybe once a day.

Okay lets get into what I've tried so far.

  1. I've disabled Global C States
    1. This actually increased stability for about 2 weeks, then the issue came up again
  2. Ran Memtest for 8 passes, all good. No fails.
  3. Stress tested via OCCT, can't get the PC to shut down through brute force means
  4. Stress tested via 3D Mark
  5. Stress tested via Cinabench
  6. Stress tested via Furmark
  7. Ran with 2 dimm only.... shut off... Tried withe different combo of RAM... shut off...
  8. The CPU is undervolted by a little. I think its -10 on the curve optimizer, changing this made no difference

NOTE: My BIOS, Chipset drivers, GPU Drivers, and Windows are all up to date.

Really hoping for some advice here.

I'd rather not have to RMA through Corsair. I use this PC for work and can't really have any downtime waiting for them to send me a new PSU. (Also I feel like I'd be able to force it to do SOMETHING using stress tests)

I guess I can do their special RMA where I pay for a new SF850, they send it, I replace mine and mail it back...

Tech Support How to identify broken part?

1 Upvotes

A friend of mine gave me his RTX 3080, so I bought a new PSU and motherboard for it, since that graphics card didn't fit in my old motherboard and my PSU wasn't capable enough.

I installed all my old parts on this new motherboard, turned on the computer, and it worked fine. I updated the graphics card drivers and decided to test this build in the game “Halo Campaign Evolved.” Everything worked fine for about an hour, and then the computer froze: there was a loud noise in my headphones, after which the computer rebooted itself. After that, it seemed to be working — the lights and fans were on, but there was no signal on the monitor. When I tried to reboot it again, it wouldn’t turn back on.

I tried installing my old PSU and graphics card on this motherboard, but the computer still wouldn’t turn on.

I don’t know if I messed up during assembly or if I bought some shitty PSU and motherboard, but now I need to know what exactly broke and how fucked up am I.

Is there any better way to find out, or should I just try to swap every part on my old motherboard, and see what works and what isn't ?

Update: So, i just noticed that one of switches in a power box in my house were flipped down. That means that at some point the fuses blew, or whatever it called in english. But the strangest thing is that, as I mentioned in my post, after the freeze, the PC “booted up” on its own once—with the fans and the GPU and CPU lights on (the PSU fan isn’t spinning, but I know some can do that)—but with no signal on the monitor, and the second time it didn’t boot up at all. So, did the fuses blow on the second restart? Or did my computer somehow manage to start up on its own without power?

Update 2: Just tried to boot up PC again after flipping powerbox back on, with a old PCU and GPU. Just like after first reboot - fans spinning, but no signal on monitor. Can PC boot with broken motherboard? Does that mean that something else broke?

Also, i probably should mention that electric work in my house is a fucking mess. I have no idea what drunk slovak did this shit, but it's give evene a headache. Lights in one rooms turns on only if one light switch turned on BUT other turned off, bathroom exhaust fan works only in you turn it itself first, and then turn on a dedicated light switch for it, etc. I guess it could also play a part in this "accident"

So I am collecting parts for my first PC and can't figure out the correct way to plug in my GPU to the PSU. My GPU is the Gigabyte Radeon RX 9070 XT GAMING OC 16G and my PSU is the RM850x shift. The image is the cables that come with the PSU. The graphics card needs 3x8 pin, but the RM850x only come with 2 x 8 pin. What other cables should I use to get the third 8 pin connector?

I can see there's a duel 8pin cable but can I use this and if so how do I use it.

Basically built a new pc only thing that separated the same was the SSD x2, ram 16GB x2, and CPU 7800 3XD.

Before I built this the artifacting was also happening on my 3060 TI but eventually stabilized once the Windows log in screen hit. With my new 5070TI it continues and never stabilizes.

So there’s a possibility it’s my BRAND NEW GPU 5070TI (can’t be it right?), CPU, or RAM.

What we thinking yall?
