went to bios and made fclk go from auto to 2600mhz (i have 5200mhz) my pc wont turn off or connect

[somber kiln]

.

[round plinth]

Does your CPU support DDR5 an Support the speed of 5200Mhz

[somber kiln]

Yes my cpu has worked fine for months before so it must support ddr5 but idrk how to tell if it would support 5200mhz

[round plinth]

Tell me the model

[somber kiln]

Imean the max clock speed on my cpu is 5000mhz so is it only 5000

[round plinth]

Which CPU model is it

[somber kiln]

Uh

1sec

@round plinth

[round plinth]

Seems fine.

So you basically want to get your ram to 5200Mhz right?

[somber kiln]

Yes

[round plinth]

Just enable DOCP

[somber kiln]

I couldnt find xmp anywhere

[somber kiln]

Not an option

I think it was either

Auto

Manual

Or

Aeop

Or something

[round plinth]

Show me your screen

[somber kiln]

Theres nothing on it

The pc is on but the monitor hasnt detected anything

[round plinth]

Did u try clear cmos?

[somber kiln]

No

Wouldnt that like

Reset it all?

[round plinth]

It’s erasing the bios settings

[somber kiln]

Oh

[round plinth]

Not your ssds

Disconnect pc from power

[somber kiln]

Oh yea isnt cmos volatile

[somber kiln]

Okay

[round plinth]

Press the on off button to discharge caps

And get the cmos out for few minutes

[somber kiln]

Should i just turn the power switch off

Or unplug the power too

[round plinth]

Unplug the cord just to be safe

[somber kiln]

Okay

Btw where even is cmos isnt it in the mobo?

[round plinth]

It’s a circular battery

[somber kiln]

Oh yea

I remember

Where is it tho

[round plinth]

It’s different from manufacturer to manufacturer

[somber kiln]

Okay but i have literally no clue where it is

[round plinth]

What’s ur mobo model

Your gpu may restrict the access

[somber kiln]

Uh

A620M-K micro ATX

[round plinth]

Yeah it’s under your gpu

[somber kiln]

Bruh

Dont say i gotta unmount it

Uh ou

[round plinth]

Depends

Try plugging it in again and turning it on

[somber kiln]

I did

Still didnt connect

[round plinth]

Like is it running and u don’t get any picture

[somber kiln]

Yes

The monitor has a yellow led under it meaning that its on but theres no connection

[round plinth]

Check if display cables are firmly in

Just the obvious stuff

[warm marten]

This gonna be easy

I done this before

[somber kiln]

Lol

[warm marten]

Reset bios, it’s either where your cmos battety is.

Or find 2 little pins, look up your MBs manual. And short it out with something metal like a screwdriver

[somber kiln]

Okay i undid the case

Where do i need to check

[warm marten]

Unplug your pc

[somber kiln]

Already done

Like from the power

[warm marten]

Look for a battery

[round plinth]

For context the cmos is under his gpu

[somber kiln]

Shit theres dust

Alot

Hold up im gonna clean it ngl

[warm marten]

I’ve been itx all my life, they’re in the dumbest places with us lmfao

[round plinth]

Yes but mobos with clear CMOS button are peak

[warm marten]

Jumper gang

I feel smart shorting pins

Impresses the ladies

[somber kiln]

Back

[warm marten]

Crises averted

[somber kiln]

Im praying i didnt just disconnect anything while clewning but

[warm marten]

Oh nvm

[somber kiln]

Lol

Yeah so uh

theres so much dust behind the cpu fan

Holy shit

Anyways

Uh

Where do i look again

[round plinth]

Don’t blow this thing with an airblower without disconnecting fan cable yes

[somber kiln]

Yeah

I just did stuff like the top of the gpu and the outside of fans

[round plinth]

Under your

Gpu

You need to build it out unfortunately

[somber kiln]

Like

Just the gpu?

[round plinth]

Yes

[somber kiln]

Fuck its connected to like

Oh

Smh

Do i need to remember what im inplugging and where

[round plinth]

GPU pcie power connector only fits in gpus

Don’t need to worry about that

[somber kiln]

Wait what

I just unplugged the one that goes into the psu😭

But the wire is still like there somewherre

[somber kiln]

I unplugged the pcie

Alr i literally have 0 clue what to unplug

Theres only 2 wires

[round plinth]

Pull the cable out of the gpu and push the little lever on the PCI-E to the right unscrew the screw that’s holding the gpu and pull it GENTLY out

[somber kiln]

Theres 2

One big one that is the pcie i think

[round plinth]

Pull em out

[somber kiln]

And one behind it

[somber kiln]

Alr

[round plinth]

Just pull em put

[somber kiln]

I feel like i cant its

Rlly hard

[round plinth]

Just unplug in a wiggle motion

[somber kiln]

But

[round plinth]

But GENTLY

[somber kiln]

Its impossible

The wire goes under the thing

And then around again

[round plinth]

Send picture

[somber kiln]

It goes under then all the way to the back

I can feel it under the gap on the right

[round plinth]

Cut the cable tie

[somber kiln]

What

Oh

Alr

The one above the thing that days pcie?

[round plinth]

Just pull the cable out somehow

[somber kiln]

I dont wanna break it😭

And how tf would i put it back in atp

[round plinth]

If you’re careful nothing should happen

[somber kiln]

This cable tie

I js grabbed scissors

Its so tight tho

I cant get it in

Pause

[round plinth]

It may be dangerous if what I’m doing in that case but I just cut them with knifes

In a sawing motion

But very careful

It’s up to you if ur doing it that way

[somber kiln]

Im scared im abt to like

Cut a wire

Idgaf about it cutting me i is on about the wires lol

Done

It flew😭

Now what @round plinth

Theres 3 cables at the back fuck

[round plinth]

Pull the cable out and lay it somewhere where it’s does not interrupt you to pull out the gpu

The one that goes into the case

[somber kiln]

Oh

I thought u mean

T

[round plinth]

No do not

Only the cable that gets into the case

[somber kiln]

I literally cant

[round plinth]

No wait a second

Unplug it from the gpu

💀

[somber kiln]

WAIT

YEAH

I JS REALISED THAT

AT THE SAME TIME AS U😭😭

Its done

Now theres just the 3 small cables at the back

[round plinth]

Disconnect everything from the gpu

Everything thats physically attached

[somber kiln]

How tf😭

[round plinth]

Is there anything attached to it?

[somber kiln]

Theres 3 engraved into the gpu

But the plate at the bottomt makes it IMPOSSIBLE to undo them

[round plinth]

Send a picture

Where those thingys are

[somber kiln]

So dusty

Damn

[warm marten]

oh wow this is still happening

[round plinth]

Let them connected

[somber kiln]

Its impossible to disconnect

[round plinth]

Just pull the gpu out

[somber kiln]

I just gotta be careful to like

Not rip them?

[round plinth]

Flip the little lever to the right

[round plinth]

Yes

Do not rip them

[somber kiln]

Where is it

😭

[warm marten]

this thread is cursed

im sorry

[round plinth]

1 second

[warm marten]

you watch linus tech tips

you've watched him do this at least 50 times by now

[somber kiln]

I used to

[somber kiln]

Like a year ago when i was tryna understand pcs

[round plinth]

This one

[somber kiln]

I just dont watch pc yts anymore but linus is probably the best

[somber kiln]

On the mobo

Alr

Is the fan covering it wtf

[warm marten]

oh hey he has an itx

[somber kiln]

Atx

I kinda dont see it

😭

[warm marten]

your cpu fan is directly above your gpu, with no space

are you sure?

[somber kiln]

Uhhh

[warm marten]

looks like an itx to me. before you pull your gpu out

[warm marten]

did you see if theres a disk battery under there

cause this may be all for nothing lol

you can reset bios without pulling your gpu out

[somber kiln]

I looked for one but dont see any

[somber kiln]

…..

What

[round plinth]

But the CMOS is located under the gpu

[somber kiln]

Bro i literally

[round plinth]

Did u find the cmos battery

[somber kiln]

This switch is so dumb

I literally

[round plinth]

Or is it under the gpu

[somber kiln]

I pushed it to the right and it moved the tiniest bit

[warm marten]

check this out

[somber kiln]

I tried unplugging the gpu and it had ALOT of resistance

[warm marten]

https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/SocketAM5/PRIME_A620M-K/E21945_PRIME_A620M-K_UM_WEB.pdf?model=PRIME A620M-K

heres your motherboards manual btw

[somber kiln]

So uh

[warm marten]

see #12

oh hey he does have a cmos battery

[somber kiln]

Thats under the gpu

[warm marten]

right but

[somber kiln]

Isnt it

[warm marten]

you can poke that with something metal right

flathead screwdriver?

[somber kiln]

Uhhhhh

Ngl i would rather just unplug the gpu💀

[warm marten]

no balls

good luck

[somber kiln]

Yep

Srry i dont wanna break my rig🙏

[round plinth]

Anyways

Pull the GPU out if the little lever is to the right

[somber kiln]

What the fuck is wrong with this switch

Its not even a lever i stg

Its barely moving

[warm marten]

ironic given the circumstances

[round plinth]

Yeah it’s hard to push down

[somber kiln]

No shot

Shit

Ommg

BRO

OW

[warm marten]

🍿

[round plinth]

You may wanna study the insides of your pc yes

[somber kiln]

Yea i only researched parts

Like

Functions

[somber kiln]

I pushed it to the right

I think

Bro its like

[round plinth]

Either short circuit the header as @warm marten said or unplug gpu and remove cmos battery

[somber kiln]

Its moving to the right so easily but it still wont come off when i pull

[round plinth]

Remove the screw

That’s holding the gpu

[somber kiln]

Oh yea

Lemme grab screwdriver

[round plinth]

There

[somber kiln]

Like

On the other side of the case

Where my monitor is plugged in?

[round plinth]

Yeah as I said

[warm marten]

🍿

[round plinth]

Remove every cable that’s connected to it

Every screw that’s holding it then remove it

If ur unsure

Watch a video on how to remove a GPU

[warm marten]

I feel like he trusts you more than me Vreoys

[round plinth]

Did even know he had clr rtc header😭

[warm marten]

he thinks im trying to delete C:/ him or something

[somber kiln]

Its not even that its just when i hear ‘unplug gpu’ it seems reasonable and when i hear ‘shove a metal flathead screwdriver down there’ it just idk😭

[somber kiln]

Yeah whats next do i gotta delete s32 to clear cmos

Jk

[round plinth]

If u don’t short any other pins then its safe

[somber kiln]

IF

[round plinth]

By the way

If u turn on the pc the switch short circuits two pins

[somber kiln]

Zap

?

[round plinth]

No zap

The screwdriver is the switch in this case

If u short circuit clr rtc

[somber kiln]

Broken?

[round plinth]

But this is too much in depth

Just continue removing the gpu

Unscrew the screw

[warm marten]

maybe my vocabulary was too uh, scary

all you gotta do is touch it

[somber kiln]

These?

[round plinth]

Yes

[somber kiln]

Thats a horrible img😭

[round plinth]

Seen worser ones

[somber kiln]

Im gonna have to move my monitor

1sec

Well i have wrong screwdriver

This is so painful

And ik its cuz of me but😭

[round plinth]

Yea I would highly recommend on how to remove different types of pc components

Because your gonna remove ALOT of parts in the future

[somber kiln]

Yeah i dont have a scredriver

And i asked my dad and he said ‘do you wanna lose ur warantee?’ 💀💀💀

All i have is a massive flathead screwdriver

So

@warm marten method i guess?

[round plinth]

Yes

[somber kiln]

This screwdriver is massive tho

It doesnt fit like

[round plinth]

Please watch a video on how to clr rtc

I don’t want u to short circuit ur entire pc

[somber kiln]

This is so painful

Why

[round plinth]

https://youtube.com/watch?v=xey0us9Nyyo&si=5oD18d6tVxt8E04t

[somber kiln]

Im now watching one but alr ill watch this one

[somber kiln]

Okay but either way i gotta unplug the gpu

And i cant

Soooooooooooo

[round plinth]

Send a picture of the underside

[somber kiln]

Of the gpu?

[round plinth]

Of the mobo

[somber kiln]

Alr

Wait underside

Wym😭

Sorry i js wanna make sure i send right thjng

[somber kiln]

Ok

Wait but thats where the gpu is?

[round plinth]

And u don’t have a screwdriver at hand

[somber kiln]

Not a lile

And its massive

[round plinth]

Rest in Peace because ur gonna need it

The most basic tool

💀

[somber kiln]

Fuck you

😭

[round plinth]

Tell me if u have one

[round plinth]

Tbh

It’s ur choice wether to open it up or build it back together and send them it

[somber kiln]

Whos them

[round plinth]

It’s a pre build right?

[somber kiln]

Yep

Oh nahhh

I aint sending it back😭

Plus bios related stuff might not be covered

[round plinth]

Then fuck this warranty and open it up

Ask ur dad

[warm marten]

shouldve thought of that before you tried to OC your ram

you already crossed the line, why back out now

[somber kiln]

Thanks mate

[warm marten]

I can guarantee you

[warm marten]
