yes
ewww XD
It's not bad if you're already using GXP - but OBS 23.0 as of Jan 2019 is nearly as good for streaming or screen capture, also gives you more file output options.
You're tied to mp4 / NVENC encoding on gxp
you can still use those on OBS and have FAR more control over it
Ya, like I said - it's the "just works" option
mhm
I couldn't figure out obs
and I need geforce experience for drivers anyways
might as well
is it worth it to send my gpu back for them to test it and figure out why its whining on low loads
I'm just thankful I had a spare 1060 lying about when I needed to RMA my GPU, I don't have integrated graphics to limp on
... there is a AMD driver update...but it's soo stable now I KNOW something will break if I click update XD
o no
i geuss i ship to them im scared to leave it up to ups to keep it safe
alrigght boys ima have to shut off my pc rn love you 😦
PSU, Mobo, and my boot drive are on their way! When I get paid I'll get my GPU and my RAM, and I'll be set~
ahah
yeah
i didnt get drivers
at all
i have the nvidia one.
im just big d u m b
Shipping was 16$ to send back to msi I might as well drive there
lol
Is the b450 steel legend good?
Tech yes city review says its vrm gets close to 100 C when he runs a 2700 on that thing
Yikes
Can anyone confirm if the B450 GAMING PRO CARBON MAX WIFI works with Ryzen 5 3600x out of the box? pls ping
thank you
Noobie question plz help ha.
Running
Asus x570 gaming plus
ryzen 9 3900x
MSI NVIDIA 1070
What programs should I download or need to use? I want to download what I need and will use and not download stuff I don’t.
For example, need MSI afterburner. Do I need GeForce experience? Or just my drivers. What programs?
would it be better to go with an x570 since they are around the same price
But do not open it when you get it in the mail if on the front of the mother board case if it does not have the stick that it works with the ryzen 3000 series
I use afterburner for gpu and cpu temps
GeForce experience just keeps all the drivers up to date
@polar goblet
I have more software but I forgot the name because I just had to send my gpu in
would it be better to go with an x570 since they are around the same price
@lusty bramble I thought x570 with wifi is actually much more expensive?
tuf x570 wifi should be around 200-210
Still not getting audio out of my MSI mag27cqr monitor.
It’s showing audio is playing but I’m not hearing anything
@tepid basalt right now on Amazon the B450 GAMING PRO CARBON MAX WIFI is only sold by one person and they have it listed for 208, ASRock X570 is 143 and I can add a wifi adaptor
the Tuf X570 is currently unavailable too
so the max version of that board is finally available
and the price is stupidly high
I thought you were asking about the non max version
if u r comfortable then go for it
@polar goblet I assume you checked to make sure your output is set to the Mag272cqr audio?
Looking over the ASRock X570 and it lists M.2 (Key E) for wifi, will the adaptor I found that uses the PCIe port work?
Tomahawk max prices looks fine..?
I swear all day long it was not. wow
I've had this list all day lol
my head hurts
https://www.newegg.com/msi-b450-tomahawk-max/p/N82E16813144267
Newegg in stock
Can someone tell me
If I actually have to put liquid inside my water cooling?
If so what type
@silk estuary why not the super and the regular one instead
any why you making anouther one?
Yes
Interesting
interesting?
i think ima need more fans though. which do i get?
Maybe this? It said audio on it so I plugged it in
that's the front panel audio
@fringe wharf I'd advise against that ssd
@stoic island why?
It’s just not the best
Not as fast as other ssds, not the best quality
At least from my experience
is there a better one thats not so expensive?
Mx500?
? idk what that is
Not know what NVMe is or what the mx500 is?
NVMe
Mx500 256gb is actually more expensive than a80 xD
Dang
NVMe is just a new version of ssd. It’s faster than SATA, but not a noticeable amount faster @fringe wharf
So what im hearing is go with the NVMe
Also they connect to your motherboard so it’s good for cable management
Yes NVMe
Mr1111’s recommendation is good
@silk estuary was just confusing me because you already had specs in your name
and also don't get regular 2070 get the super
Got a wifi card today, and it didn't fit with my graphics card in with a recommended build. What were they thinking? Did I do it wrong or something?
@little leaf I'm getting the super???
ok just in the list it wasn't the super
Am I missing a driver for my hdmi audio to work?
also @silk estuary what you using the pc for?
Gaming
So i have a problem my ethernet cable wont fit into ethernet port and im not sure why the cord is too big for the socket
I have my case already
And 7 tbs because I want it
And two monitors for music and gaming
aight pretty pricey music monitor
@polar goblet to get audio out of your display via HDMI you need to go back here, you had the answer before, remember when you showed me this picture and made a comment about hearing audio out of your screen and I asked if you were using HDMI?
Hey guys, I was hoping some of you Tech-Genius' could give me a little help/advice. I recently bought and built a new pc based on some third party advice, but after building it, I've had issues installing windows on the HDD so I used my old HDD and installed a fresh windows 10 64-bit OS on my pc and it's really slow. The advice I recieved gave me the impression this PC would be really fast but thats clearly not true. Im hoping that the build is fine and its something that I'm doing wrong or not doing at all that is the cause? I can't seem to install my Graphics Card Driver either, it keeps telling me Windows 10 isn't the right version (I've done all the updates available) Any Suggestions?
Motherboard: AsRock x399 Taichi
Graphics Card: Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060
CPU: AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1900x
RAM: G. Skill TridentZ RGB Series 16GB (2x8GB) 288-Pin DDR4
It being slow is likely because of the HDD, do you have any SSDs to install Windows on?
I don't, I just have the tradition style SATA HDD
When Installing Windows 10, it only picks up my DVD Drive and not my HDD but both are hooked up the same?
Not sure where the windows issues are coming from...
Me either, I've installed windows a thousand times in the past, and the weirdest part is, for the displayed disks it shows my DVD drive and not my HDD but it says 0MB. Some how the windows install disc is recogniing my DVD Driver as a HDD or something
Have you tried installing Windows with a USB drive?
did you delete/clean the disk then format for the windows 10 install? are you using the USB style installer for windows (or one you made)?
I think they're using disk that comes with windows when you buy it normally
The only USB based HDD I have is my Backup HDD which has 940GB of used space. I dont have any other way of hooking my HDD up. And I cannot seem to get my HDD to show up at all to be able to format it
Quite weird
Yea, that's what I thought
I mean like a USB stick? Like a 8gb/16gb one
I do have a USB stick somewhere, should I plug it in and see if it shows up?
Are you aware of how to create an installation media onto a USB stick?
I've only ever done it once
While I'm not sure what the issue is, it's always good to try things until something works :p
quick question, when you say it's slow, what do you mean? like crazy laggy or just slow start up?
Lol, I couldn't agree more. Just I'm new to these sorts of issues. I usually build a PC then use it for about 6 years 😂
how much faster is a solid nvme than a ssd
Like If I drag windows, they stutter and the reaction time of opening Google Chrome and other Applications is rather slow
and you said you were just using that hdd on another pc, correct?
Yea, it wasn't this slow on the other pc
was the other pc also running windows 10?
Yea, same Install Disc
ok so i have a suspicion its not the hdd itself
but
it could be, but it could also be that windows didnt install correctly
so itd be the same solution, try to make a media install tool. If you can, Id still install it on the new hdd, just make sure if you do that you unplug the current hdd and the disk drive and when you plug in the usb, when you get to the select your hard drive tool, make sure you click the hard drive and erase it, and then select it to install
if you can install it on the other hdd and it is still laggy, its likely another component causing the issue. HDDs are slow but theyre perfectly functional
So are there any video tutorials on this process lol I mean when I install from the USB drive how do I do that?
ok hold on
Thanks for all the help guys! Hopefully I can get this figured out! Quite a bit of money to just throw out the window 😂
Ok got it
after its downloaded, just plug in a USB stick and run the tool, select the usb stick, and follow the steps on the screen.
Awesome I'll give that a shot! Thank you so much!
make sure you select whatever windows version that you have a key for
once you have that done, shut down the PC, plug in the new hdd and unplug the others, and then plug the usb in and turn it on. Press del to go into bios and look for your boot order and make sure the usb is set to boot first. Then save and restart, then follow the steps on the screen to install windows. At one point it will ask you to select your install location and just select the hdd, format it, and install windows.
awesome thanks, the media device is almost done then ill give it a shot
My PC was completed a little while ago. Everything seems to be in working order, but it's not sending a signal to the monitor. Any ideas of what could be going wrong?
alright good luck 🙂
@polar goblet you just need to set the audio output to your display
via the hdmi interface
@sacred obsidian hey so I tried installing windows off the USB drive and now its showing my HDD but it's only showing this with 0MB now?
@pastel briar
Ok... where is that?
I’ve spent the last few hours trying to fix it and get it. Nor can I find “hdmi interface”
@polar goblet USB or 3.5mm jack headphones?
Because it might only allow for 3.5mm jack
When I plugin my headphones I hear audio. I just don’t hear audio out of my monitor
Wait wait wait
Are you trying to use monitor speakers..?
Or are you doing sound passthrough to plug your headphones into the monitor?
Yes my monitor speakers
Does it have speakers ..?
I want to hear sound out of my monitor speakers
I don't think it had speakers
Most monitors nowadays don't
MSI OPTIX mag27cqr
Bc they usually are on the sides, and nobody likes bezels
So rn I am building a pc and i have like $220 bucks and I need a graphics card any recomendations
.. save up
@stuck eagle I dont think you can get anything for that much
its like a rx 580 or a 1660
Best low cost speakers? 20-50ish? Do they exist?
I think speakers do exist at that price, idk any
Also even if the monitor did have speakers I wouldn’t use them, they are usually hot garbage
@stuck eagle do you mean just gpu or entire pc
I'm hoping he means gpu
gpu
I don't think anyone can find a useful pc for 220
Hello people. Does this kind of mother board have a RAM maximum? My memory is currently 8G and I just got two 8G Sticks in the mail, making it a total of 24 Gigs memory. Will try to post my mother board info
Crap, still got no permission
I'm just having video output issues to the monitor, and tried installing just the new sticks in. I may need to upgrade my graphics card too
i can post it for you if you'd like
Ty Artic.
Dear lord that's fuzzy
I do apologise, it's a screenshot
Can anyone dm me a $2000 pc build or setup
Sure, one sec
Lots of good psus are oos
Cheap cx is now more expensive
I got corsair rmx
Same
hows last years rm seris
Rm 2019 is good, RMx is slightly better tho
Good luck on your build
Why not 3990x 2080ti 
Ok, let's nitpick me then
Jk
No, I'm not going all out then. God dang.
is the asus prime z3900-a lga 1151 the best one?
z3900?
sorry z390
I just keep seeing it being used and recommened
Oo nice Arctic freezer 2?
YEP
I tried to order one through unofficial route
but have to give up because the price is too high
I'm getting an nzxt kraken
Ah
It's very nice so far
Cuz the arctic freezer 2 went out of stock
I had it with a 2700x so I updated it myself, idk with new stock.
Also lemme check
Arctic freezer 2 is the only AIO I would recommend for price to perf
just a downgrade in bios ui and that's it
idk about performance, features, etc with the new bios on that mobo
Yea the max and non max has been really iffy
I mean idk what bios gaming pro carbon has now
That the max does/doesn't have
Like I really like my Mobo so far
I'd love to reccomend it if I knew the situation with it's bios
Actually wait
hey guys i had a question, so I will most likely be gaming on a ryzen 5 3600 and a RX 580. I will mainly be playing Minecraft and I will be on all low settings, does anyone have something similar so they can let me know how much FPS I will be using?
You can flash that board without an old cpu
Go with it anyways :D
Bc MSI bios flashback
Naw I'm getting corsair vengeance ram
@little osprey you can look up benchmarks on YouTube
just mine craft? i don't think you really need a 3600 for that
Like "rx 580 rainbow six siege benchmark"
yeah but they dont have low setting usually they have like maximum settings possible
anyone play minecraft like pvp wise?
I just have my fun with other ppl
kk
I played hypixel bedwars today does that count xD
Lol
minecraft rtx looks amazing
is anyone hear super tech savy? builds computers and fixes them. can figure out whats wrong with them
not me
could you help me out?
sure just message me, i'll see if I can help
no
are you going to oc a 3950x?
and even if you do, according to buildzoid, the addional 4 pin connector is unnecessary
glhf trying to pull more then 300w on AM4. That's when you need more then an 8 pin EPS
Depending on the CPU
Is your running a 3950x your gonna want the extra 4pin
If*
Also cant guarentee overclocking on a 3700x
Lol no. 3950x takes 145w max
You need to LN2 OC for the extra 4 pin to make sense
Ln2?
Liquid nitrogen
Marketing
That's my bad btw, I should understand what im arguing on before I do
"OC more with the extra stability of the total of 12 pins to the CPU" or whatever
Which is technically true. But again, that'd be like LN2 stuff
True
Ye it’s chill
state the specs and they will help u here
psu specs? ..
What would be better for a big game like arma 3 that i7 or the ryzen 5 3600
Product Name
Gaming Desktop - Intel Core i7-8700 - 16GB Memory - NVIDIA GTX 1060 - 1TB HDD + 120GB SSD found my prebuilt but can’t find the spu
Any help
it's a prebuilt?
yeah with ibuypowe psu inside
i buy power is good
because you know what your paying for
and its power
bc
i buy power
When your core 2 duo wont run mincraft because it uses all the ram to boot it
Best gaming pc of all times core 2 duo with 4gigs of ram
best gaming PC to exist tbh
@clever sluice a 6th gen i7 would be worse than a r5 3600 in gaming
Especially in newer games that are fully multi-threaded.
any1 know any good 750wats spu
Spu?
You mean psu?
gold and up perfirably
I used a Corsair RMx 850
corsair and seasonic are good brands
Its fine lol
I would avoid 80+ white like the plague
and avoid thermaltake lol
80+ platinum you will always pay a premium for
I also have a 2080 Super
oh didint even see the link
thanks brother
damn pick up only
Store pickup is not available within 250 miles.

I called Best Buy because I needed to make a return of multiple parts for my PC, and they said that they might have a return system where somebody comes to your house to pick up items
I called again to attempt to set something like that up, and they said there was no such thing
I wouldnt order from bestbuy
Max draw of a 2080 Super might be less than you think
9 left in stock
PSUs are in short supply cause of Covid-19
70 dollars god damn
Refurbished, ew
still works tho
still rly cheap
Like 40%off
Never cheap out on the PSU, that's rule number 1 in PC building
The fact that "hopefully" is in that sentence would make me hesitant to purchase
I would spend the extra money to purchase one fresh off the belt
If you cheap out on the PSU that has the potential to kill everything else and be extremely expensive
Ye
CORSAIR RMx Series, RM750x, 750 Watt, Fully Modular Power Supply, 80+ Gold (Renewed)
A few days after finishing my PC build, it would unexpectedly power off anywhere between 10 seconds and 30 minutes of powering on, sometimes not even making it past the motherboard splash screen. I purchased another PSU of the same model locally (that wasn't refurbished) and have not had any issues since then, which has been several weeks.
lmao yeah thanks fore the headsup
You want one with good warenty
Use the PSU tier list in the pinned messages to help pick out a good one
Warranty is free with purchase of a new unit
i mean
Every new part has a manufacturer warranty
the 80+ platinum was not such a bad deal
The manufacturer warranty on PSUs is usually 3 years
Don't be fooled into buying an additional warranty for extra
wait till quarrentine over
Again PSU shortage cause of the pandemic. You got to look harder and be willing to pay above MSRP
btw when i get it what modular should i get
That PSU is too tier
Will last a very long time, and if it's a dud the warranty will replace it

I'd say so. I got an 850W just as an added buffer, but 750W is already a solid buffer
Keep in mind we have essentially the same graphics card ^
You and I
I don't have a 2080 but I have a similar card in the same general range, my 750 gold unit work perfect, that unit is muuuch better than mine
but my spu is gnna explode with it
Then we WILL have essentially the same graphics card
^
so this is a no go Seasonic Focus PX-750, 750W 80+ Platinum Full-Modular, Fan Control in Fanless, Silent, and Cooling Mode, 10 Year Warranty, Perfect Power Supply for Gaming and Various Application, SSR-750PX.
i love you
so my spu
my power supply i have now is like all in one area the outputs
that shouldnt matter right
In terms of all of the ports being in one general area?
ye
That's normal
Oof prebuilts
It took me a LONG time, because I was extremely nervous and extremely confused. First time building a PC
i have this chat transparent over my game and idk how to turn it off lamo
EVGA GeForce RTX 2080 Super Black Gaming, 08G-P4-3081-KR, 8GB GDDR6
this good sms fan 3
I'd say the most significant time waste was assuring that everything I was plugging in was connecting in the correct direction
I'd say the most significant time waste was assuring that everything I was plugging in was connecting in the correct direction
One sec
Thats what I said
@woven crypt my bad if u hate getting @ i just ned 2 connect it 2 hardrive gpu cpu dats it right?
This is the one I purchased, which I believe is slightly better than the one you're looking at. Do you know if the graphics card you're looking at has HDMI 2.0?
I got that card when it was on somewhat of a sale ^
Are you asking about what you need to connect the power supply to?
In general, yes, but let me check something
Your potential GPU does have HDMI 2.0, so that's good
?
That PSU is Bronze. I'd go with Gold at a minimum
That out of stock seasonic is going to be in stock in 10 days
I had to wait ten days for my thermal compound lol
If you can't wait use the PSU tier list in the pinned messages to look for a good one
I got all my pc parts within 4 days
My artic silver thermal paste was wrapped with 5 layers of bubble wrap
My setup was made specifically to be able to play games in 4K at 60 FPS
And When I recived it I thought it was the processor
wats ur specs?
I was debating between Silver and Arctic, and ended up going with Arctic
I'll send you a link with the components in a sec
Wait wait your just going to upgrade a prebuilt?
ye
I used the stock CPU cooler, and I plan on using my TV as my monitor. The graphics card was much cheaper than what is listed on here. Everything else was relatively the same price
ty
I can't give you a screenshot of my specs, because I've been unable to actually get into my computer lol
It's functional, but I can't get past the UEFI screen. It won't allow me to start Windows from my USB stick
i was talking 2 other people abotu water cooling
is it really not helpful at all
and just for aesthetic
Depends
I actually purchased a water cooler, but even the slim possibility of a leak made me keep it in its packaging
It's generally more effective than air cooling, but definitely adds to the price
@edgy cape What processor are you getting, if you're getting one?
ima keep the same pros
Which processor would that be
Ish
You can Ctrl/Cmd + F and search for yours. This ranks a ton of CPUs
You have just the 8700 3.2GHz
ye
Assuming your motherboard is compatible
@edgy cape Use that pcpartpicker.com site, and add all of your current/potential computer parts in there. If there are no notes concerning compatibility, then you're all set
Prebuilt boards are werid though
If you plan on keeping it
@edgy cape Once you've entered everything, a link should pop up near the top of the page. Copy and paste that in here once you're finished
Assuming your computer currently works, then I believe it's compatible lol
You can add a separate cooler you'd be interested in if you want
What graphics did you say you had again?
gtx 1060 3gb
1069
Right
"gtrx' lmfao
Reason: Bad word usage
holy
first try
@woven crypt my bad if im annoying u so i should be chill right?
No worries. I'm dealing with my own computer problem rn, so I'm in the mindset anyway
Your talking to me?
yeah
Can I send a pic of my MB on here to get someone opinion? I think I know the answer but I'm in denial.
@shy dome Go ahead
Actually, I think you have to be a higher level in the channel before you can send any form of media
Can I dm you?
Sure
youtube is always slow
u think its my processor like always but randomly
@woven crypt
Slow in what manner
Maybe monitor your RAM as you play videos, and see your usage
what should i use? 2 monitor
Task Manager, More Details, Performance
Hmmmm
Nothing looks like it's being overwhelmed. Maybe just restart
u got some miners there maybe if thats the idle haha
my idle is 1%
even with discord chrome.. 1-4% only
so im chilling?
video desync?
@subtle halo so i should be fine i dont need to upgrade my processor or anything
just a 750 watts and im set?
for a rtx 2080 super
550w is plenty for that system. I'd go max of 650w. Spending it on more wattage rather then quality is a bad trap to get into.
just make sure you replace that 500w ibuypower psu of yours..
Dimension: 5.5" x 6.0" x 3.3" (D) x (W) x (H) Cooling 120mm ultra-silent fan.
The one I’m finna order is Package dimensions (length x width x height): 12.283 inches x 7.402 inches x 4.567 inches
Hm
He was looking at a top quality 750W 80+ plat seasonic
Earlier

You could look for a much cheaper 550-650W 80+ gold but that seasonic with the 10 year warranty is about as good as it gets for quality if you don't mind paying the premium price tag
It's in the A tier on the tier list
I assure you, you wouldn't be sacrificing quality for watts with it
It's also good for most possible upgrades later on if you choose to upgrade even more later
So
What is the recommended psu number on vga pages based on?
Like rx 5700 for 600w
2060s for 550w
include the CPU in that
Ic
Hi
Depends on how the parts you use and how many
But mostly the CPU and GPU
Things like Drives, Lights, fans, ram, and other accessories count towards the total peak power draw, but not nearly as much.
mainboard too ^^
If you are running an insane setup with like 20 drives in raid then yea that's gonna take up a lot more wattage and you need to account for it, but that's not the usual for consumer
I was wondering if someone here could help me with a first time build. Been trying for two days and the system will not boot on. Theres a cord i couldnt find a home for and idk if thats the reason why. Its a cable with both male and female on the same end coming out of the case itself
what do the cable connectors look like?
DM me some pictures if you can, I'll post them here
or if Box levels you up with Mee6 you can post them directly
I'm not sure what the little one is, but the other is MOLEX
That looks like an rgb power cord
I have two that look like that, that went to rgb lights
i couldnt find a home for it on the motherboard
The smaller one was labeled gigabyte and i couldn't get it plugged in either but i know it deals with the argb on my fans
those are the only two cords i couldnt plug in, but on my manual for the case it showed the smaller gigabyte being left not plugged in
You got power to the board, yes?
everything is plugged in so i guess? just nothing turns on
With the power switch on the PSU turned on, do you have any lights on the motherboard?
im honestly just frustrated and dont want to fool with the thing anymore
no lights, fans or anything
Trust me, I know the feeling. I spent two days fiddling with my build just to find out I have a faulty hdd
Alright then you dont have power to the board. Check to make sure your main power from the psu to the board is in all the way and just for goggles, make sure the power switch on the psu is in the "on" position. Lol I've actually done that before
Giggles not goggles 🤦♂️
just remember O is (O)ff
I'm no binary knowledge person 😔
Yes, I represents an "open" circuit (has power) O represents "closed" circuit (no power)
i tried the switch in both positions just for giggles trust me
yea, i only have two of them? most people seem to have 4?
i have a power SW and a H.D.D LED
what mootherboard?
You don't have a reset button on your case?
lots don't, I don't have one either 😄
Oh! Lol yanno, now that I think of it. I dont either 😂
if it wasnt for the virus goin about i'd take the thing to a shop for in person help
gimem a min
cant believe i got talked into a build..
Lol building your own pc has its pros and cons. Prosnbeing that its cheaper and fun for hobbyists, but cons being it's a lot more frustrating and problematic
You have it connected this way?
With the print on the wires faced down.
if you can send a clear picture of you desk top, directly in front, so we can see everything inside would help too.
make sure these two are both in snug and flush (you don't need to plug in the 4pin cpu_pwr2)
the 4pin is for added power for people who like to overclock.
gimme a second my cable management is um garbage
that could be a reason why it wont turn on 🙂
oh CPU_PWR2, I was confused for a sec
And i gotta take a kitty off my lap
yeah in the manual, it shows to plug in both for some reason
It could have atleast said (optional)
oh interesting, it's a separate plug on the board
they are right next to eachother
yeah
bruuuh
lol
lets address this
Wait i think it was the tiny two cords
Inhad the text upwards
I flipped them down
Okay it turned on.. lights and all but the front fans arent spinning
Im happy i got the lights though
progress 🙂
dont worry about the lights/case fans right now
Top fan is a go but no lights
that's not a concern right now 🙂
Okay
cpu fan spins up?
Yes
ok good
But slowly
Uh i dont have this connected to a monitor F me hold on
Should i turn it off?
nah
make sure you plug the monitor plug into the graphics card port
not the motherboard port.
I have this thing on a work table not my computer desk gimme a moment
if all is good we should be seeing BIOS ui when you plug in monitor
No signal on monitor
ok lets power down using the switch on the back of psu
The flippy one corrrec? Dont laugh at my simpleton lingo
Thats fine cause ive had a terrible night and need a good laugh for the day
Btw is it safe to plug in my keyboard
and don't start thinking you have broken parts, all is fine. we just need to fix it up a little bit
yeah plug in keyboard and mouse.
How do you have your hard drives, ssds and all that installed
The video port is plugged into the video card or mobo?
oh good question Hei
I'm still on my first cup of coffee
does the GPU have it's power connected aswell?
perfect 🙂
Also my psu is outside the case until i know everythink works.. i planned on popping it in after
Questionable. I would advised keep as much unplugged until things start to work
give us a big picture, of the entire motherboard. (we won't laugh at your wiring)
Haha
The front is fine the back is garbo
Cable management
usually the case in most builds 🙂
business in the front, hot garbo party in the back
Should i pop the supply in first?
I was told by my bf to get that high a wattage.. ive had a few agree and a few disagree with him
I would def disagree
Yea but please no more lectures for me on wattage unless it'll harm the system
lets just focus on getting it booted up 🙂
it shouldn't if it's a good PSU :p
PSU quality is meh and instead of focusing on wattage you could get better quality for the price. However, quality is still good enough to not cause issues
Actually wait, when did you purchase the G+?
we went from having no power, to having power and some fans spin
You wanted a full motherboard shot?
yes
Now that I think about it old 1000w G+ has issues iirc
Should be a seperate issue from this tho
32 gigs
Nvm, that was 2019 G5 1000w with issues
ok cool
What CPU?
Intel i7
what gen 🙂
9th geb
ok sweet
Specific model tho? 9700, 9700K, 9700KF?
How many PCI-e slots that board got? You could try plugging your graphics card into a different one for sh**s and giggles and see if you have a different result
Alright. So to go the more easier route in debugging you should eliminate variables
alright so lets go ahead and hit the flippy switch, and the power button on the front and see what happens
now that we have a monitor plugged in
Only use one stick of RAM, remove all SSD/storage, unplug GPU completely, and plug video cable into mobo
This way only a few things are being tested rather then a whole wad of parts
Its getting signal now
🙂
From here im clueless though
Looks like Box has got this lol
brb tending to box junior
And my cats being the freakin devil
You need to install windows onto your storage device now
Or del
Yea its f11 for me
So turn off, back on then hit delete
Maybe. Depends on the mobo
F11
Not a "usually"
Just depends on board
yeah
Front 3.0 port
but before we get any further
I'd go ahead and button everything else up
install the psu
we still have those fans to get spinning
🙂
we now know you have a working system.
Okay i swapped it over, reboot again?
Windows showed up
Wew
be sure to install it on the SSD
64 or 32 bit?
64
8-bit 
well if you can't get over 4GB in a system, it'd be the way to go :p
ignored.

Shes mad i wouldn't give her attention during the build the last few days
