they just slap 15$ labels on almost all monitors or TVs regardless of what they are

mossy plaza
#

dang

muted patio
#

It's true

#

Just check the label on the back

mossy plaza
#

when i first started out I was gaming on a laptop and I got myself a monitor from bestbuy

#

it was half worth it

#

since its still serving me for a long time and its length and width is the best for me

#

its just that the price was a bit iffy

cerulean trellis
#

i have a 1650x1050 monitor i got for free

mossy plaza
#

150 bucks :/

cerulean trellis
#

so

#

...

mossy plaza
#

my dad had some monitors that he wasn't using and I was gonna use one of em but their all busted after not being used for years

#

which is sucky

broken umbra
#

yeah the monitor I got was 1080p 60Hz 22 inch for 15$

#

LOL

muted patio
#

O.o

cerulean trellis
#

0.o

mossy plaza
#

thats actually rlly good xd

cerulean trellis
#

XD

mossy plaza
#

from good will right?

next kestrel
#

pretty cool idea with monitors

broken umbra
#

Yeah

#

So what you do is, go check the prices of monitors, and they're colored

next kestrel
mossy plaza
#

welp looks like I'm goin there later in the weel

broken umbra
#

Then wait for colored sale days, and get a huge discount on it

next kestrel
#

if u find a super cheap monitor

mossy plaza
#

nice

broken umbra
#

Its 50% off on color days, so from its usual 30-45$ price, it goes down to like 15-20$

#

or sometimes they just price them straight up at 15$ lol

mossy plaza
#

thats a huge discount xd

cerulean trellis
#

thats a good deal

muted patio
#

Still

#

Even 30-45 is a good deal

broken umbra
#

basically everything at goodwill is color tagged, and each day of the week, a new color is chosen, and whatever is tagged with that color is 50% off

mossy plaza
#

bruh how does goodwill stay in business their just losing money putting it that low xd

broken umbra
#

Their inventory is free

#

They don't buy it

broken umbra

How much is that 2080

broken umbra
#

its msrp is 700$

mossy plaza
#

I'll bid by adding 1 more dollar

little osprey
#

I mean can’t find a 2080 under $700 so that will probably go up to $600-$500

mossy plaza
#

ouch

broken umbra
mossy plaza
#

..

cerulean trellis
#

is the i5 10400f a good upgrade from a i3 9100f?

mossy plaza
#

I think so

#

I mean the i3 is definetly older

cerulean trellis
#

duh

mossy plaza
#

B)

river aspen

Yeah, but if you’re gonna upgrade, you might as well go the AMD route

#

that'd cost money

cerulean trellis
#

@little osprey yeah

mossy plaza
#

broken umbra
#

Like sometimes if you can't sell it or get it to sell, donate it and get the tax writeoff

mossy plaza
#

hmmm

broken umbra

its actually the opposite

Yoooo a 5600x nice

#

only r7/r9 50xx that doesn't i guess

#

btw, 5600x is poggers

cerulean trellis
#

very

little osprey
#

5800x? not so much

cerulean trellis
little osprey
mossy plaza
#

I was gonna buy this

#

but since the combo

#

nahhhh

cerulean trellis
#

same but then i realized that the i5 10400f was a better option for me

broken umbra
#

cheaper new than used hahafunny

cerulean trellis
#

yes

broken umbra
#

yup

#

at best buy the 10700k is 320$

tbh I'd rather buy this then the Ryzen 7

cunning delta
#

will a MSI Z390-A PRO ATX LGA1151 Motherboard work with a Sabrent 1TB Rocket Nvme PCIe 4.0 M.2 2280 Internal SSD Maximum Performance Solid State Drive (SB-ROCKET-NVMe4-1TB) and is there a better ssd i could be getting?

mossy plaza
#

since its a combo and it has some pretty good ram

broken umbra
#

The Sabrent Rocket is the fastest SSD for commercial/consumer user iirc

cerulean trellis
#

@little osprey it had the same performance as the i9 10900k

muted patio
#

It's a Z390 MB though

cunning delta
#

is it compatable with that motherboard?

broken umbra
#

and yes that ssd fits a z390

little osprey
muted patio
#

It's compatible

#

But it won't run at PCI-E 4 speeds

#

That mobo is PCI-E 3.0

#

So just get the regular Sabrent

cerulean trellis
#

hold on

cunning delta
#

alright

little osprey
#

plus i9 11900k is 2 cores less than 10900k
because intel is experimenting on new stuff i believe

#

and it's only scale to 8 cores on the perf boost

muted patio
#

Intel is playing catch up

#

Got caught with pants down

nimble sinew
#

I'm sad.

broken umbra
#

multiple times

cunning delta
#

im in canada it doesnt ship to me could u send a different one?

muted patio
#

They'll catch up soon enough

broken umbra
#

AMD has been clawing market share away from Intel for years iirc

little osprey
muted patio
#

Nope, they didn't

#

They got confident resting on their laurels

#

Thinking AMD was in a shambles. They weren't wrong for a while

broken umbra
#

Ryzen has joined the chat

muted patio
#

AMD pulled a rabbit out of a hat

little osprey
#

9th gen in the distance

mossy plaza
#

what gpu should I get?

#

I never rlly know what I should get

little osprey
#

also yeah, it's incredible how amd quickly catch up to intel

muted patio
#

Especially after Bulldozer

#

That was such an oof

broken umbra
#

Intel blew a 76% lead in market share

muted patio
#

Last time AMD was on top was the 64 bit CPU's

#

I bought one of the first ones

#

Dual core 64 bit CPU

little osprey
#

ah yes
FX
the cpu series that nearly killed AMD

cerulean trellis
#

it was because of her lisa su

muted patio
#

SSD vs NVME won't affect games

#

It'll help the rest

broken umbra
#

In terms of Desktop market share, in 2006, Intel pulled massively ahead, growing to a 76.5% to 23.4% lead by 2017, then in just 3 years fell to be almost exactly even with AMD

mossy plaza
#

I'm thinkin a 3060 ti or maybe a radeon 5700xt

muted patio
#

Ah, it was an Athlon 64

#

Dual core

#

Those were good days

broken umbra
#

Intel only has 51.4% market share as of the last quarter

cerulean trellis
#

3060 ti is better

mossy plaza
#

hmmm

muted patio
#

2009 lol

mossy plaza
#

ik but its not always in stock :/

muted patio
#

For 1080p?

#

3060TI.

#

AMD GPu'

#

s have honestly buggy drivers

mossy plaza
#

hmmmmmmmmm

broken umbra
#

for 1440, 3060TI as well as long as its not cyberpunk LMAO

mossy plaza
#

ok

#

lol

muted patio
#

That too

broken umbra
#

I mean a 3070 would probably better suit anyway but a 3060ti will get the job done

mossy plaza
#

nah I wanna try playing some good ol vr games and some other stuff

#

I always wanted to check out some vr horror games

little osprey
#

btw, would be really nice if VR games implemented DLSS

mossy plaza
#

those are pretty cool

muted patio
#

Technically VR is running two displays

#

It's an odd duck

little osprey
#

oh yeah
forgotten about that

mossy plaza
#

oh

#

ew

#

adorama

#

a 3060 ti over dere

#

have at it busters

#

well if you want it

#

I'm probably gonna down grade my pc I have now to work with the pc I'm tryna build

#

so I'll probably buy a cheap power supply and a smaller case for it

muted patio
#

You're gonna buy a $400 gpu and cheap out on it's food?

#

Pls no

broken umbra
#

sold out

mossy plaza
#

wha?

#

wdym vintage

ripe wedge
#

cheap psus are a no no

broken umbra
#

if you buy a cheap cpu you might as well light a candle in your pc

muted patio
#

What Jake said

ripe wedge
#

a cheap psu could kill your parts

broken umbra
#

a cheap PSU can literally light your mobo on fire and blow out your GPU chip

#

yeah

muted patio
#

I mean, that's really extreme

broken umbra
#

sorry

mossy plaza
#

I'm gonna downgrade the pc I have now and use the parts that I want to keep for my pc im tryna build xd

little osprey
#

also cheaping out on PSU should never be a option

muted patio
#

Most likely it'll just quit

broken umbra
#

yeah

ripe wedge
#

id recommend a rm650x for those parts

broken umbra
#

but it happens

ripe wedge
#

corsair

broken umbra
#

EVGA PSUs are also good

ripe wedge
mossy plaza
#

by cheap psu I mean like a 450 watt one

broken umbra
#

TRUE

#

the G3s are nice imo

#

@mossy plaza which one though

little osprey
ripe wedge
mossy plaza
#

i dunno

#

the one I have rn is a 500 watt

brittle ore
mossy plaza
#

which is one I could use in my new build ima make

muted patio
#

For sure

mossy plaza
#

I want to pretty much move all my bad parts into a new case so then I can give it to my dad and he can give me some cash for it

ripe wedge
#

amd likes 3600mhz

broken umbra
#

that's a great PC build

muted patio
#

3600 CL16

broken umbra
#

but yeah higher freq ram

#

get 3600 Cl16

muted patio
#

Don't hamstring the 5950x

broken umbra
ripe wedge
#

what cpu cooler ya looking at for it

broken umbra
#

a bad 500w is more dangerous than a good/reputable 1000w

brittle ore
#

gotchaa, yeah its for gaming / graphic design

little osprey
ripe wedge
#

^

broken umbra
#

TRUE

mossy plaza
muted patio
#

That seems like a prebuilt spec

broken umbra
#

inquire into the PSU

mossy plaza
# mossy plaza

im not rlly sure about this but this is like a rough draft xd

broken umbra
#

brand/model/etc

cunning delta
#

@broken umbra could u send one from newegg pls?

broken umbra
#

@cunning delta yeah sure

cunning delta
#

thanks

ripe wedge
#

yeah looks like it

broken umbra
muted patio
#

Ye

broken umbra
#

for Canada

ripe wedge
#

yeah it should be fine

broken umbra
#

Only the Rocket Q which is like 300-400$

cunning delta
#

thats the only good one?

brittle ore
#

yeah it is ; I have a build on the side but alot of parts are sold out

ripe wedge
#

aio and psu only sketch things

little osprey
ripe wedge
#

on that list

broken umbra
#

shuck the drive LOL

ripe wedge
#

that case is good tho

broken umbra
#

slam it in there

ripe wedge
#

like cover a pin or something

broken umbra
#

yeah, you have to electric tape 2 pins

ripe wedge
#

cant remember

broken umbra
#

I gotchu if you ever do need to shuck

#

brb to shower tho

mossy plaza
#

idk

#

my brain hurts rn xd

#

I'm confused on what I should do for my pc build

brittle ore
#

I noticed though when I get a higher DDR4 speed the latency usually goes up; so in the end it seems like its similar

cunning delta
#

does this Western Digital WD BLACK SN750 NVMe M.2 2280 1TB PCI-Express 3.0 x4 64-layer 3D NAND Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) WDS100T3X0C work with a z390 mobo

mossy plaza
#

since I want to downgrade the pc I have now when I get the parts I want to use so then I can turn it into separate pcs since the case I have rn and the psu is something I can use in my pc I'm tryna make

ripe wedge
#

I recommend the sn750

#

its good

muted patio
#

Price vs the Sabrent?

brittle ore
little osprey
muted patio
#

Yeah

#

you want CL16

The SN750 is roughly the same price as the sabrent rocket

ripe wedge
#

if u need 64gb

broken umbra
#

ok now brb for shower

#

Fair enough

brittle ore

#

ah

#

well these are 16gb sticks

#

its what I have lol

muted patio
#

I have that without RGB

#

Red spreaders

mossy plaza
#

anyone know what motherboard I should pair up with this?

muted patio
#

WiFI?

ripe wedge
muted patio
#

ATX/ITX/MATX

ripe wedge
#

3600C16

mossy plaza
#

wha

muted patio
#

What motherboard format?

mossy plaza
#

wdym?

muted patio
#

There are different sized motherboards

#

ITX

#

ATX

#

M-ATX

mossy plaza
#

oh ATX

brittle ore
ripe wedge
#

how much are the 3600c18 set

muted patio
#

Well, I'm an X570 guy so....ASUS TUF WiFI X570. $189 for a good mobo

mossy plaza
#

189

#

yeesh

#

ok

muted patio
#

Well

#

You didn't give a budget

mossy plaza
#

xd

#

uhhhhh

#

under 100 bucks?

#

pls

muted patio
#

Do you have a current Ryzen CPU?

mossy plaza
#

nope but I'm building a ryzen build

muted patio
#

Cuz that's gonna be hard to do, most boards require a BIOS update for 5000 series and boards in that price range don't have BIOS flashback

mossy plaza
#

dang

#

thats dumb how it needs a bios update

muted patio
#

Its brand new

#

It's pretty typical

mossy plaza
#

:/

muted patio
#

Won't be an issue in a couple months

#

because the boards will have the new BIOS. Exisiting stock does not

mossy plaza
#

well whats the cheapest you've found?

muted patio
#

You gotta remember

mossy plaza
#

hm?

muted patio
#

All the parts you see in stock were probably made months ago

#

like, 3-6 months ago

mossy plaza
#

hm I guess so

#

pcs are confusing tbh xd

mossy plaza
#

I'm suprised I was able to understand the build I was making with ur help and everyone else

#

THAT WILL DO

#

you scared me when you were talking about how everything was expensive

#

I thought I was gonna have to pay alot more then this

#

thanks

#

:>

muted patio
#

YW

#

I didn't say it was expensive. I said you didn't give me a budget number

#

So I went with what I use and like

mossy plaza
#

ohhh

#

ok

muted patio
#

I'll ask next time 😉

mossy plaza
#

that board that u sent first is pretty nice ngl

#

:>

muted patio
#

Comparable to $250 or more expensive boards feature wise

mossy plaza
#

...

muted patio
#

Overclocks well too

mossy plaza
#

im gonna be broke after making this pc

mossy plaza
muted patio
#

I mean, you just built your buddy a $500 gaming pc so

mossy plaza
#

yup...

muted patio
#

Pick a number and build it

mossy plaza
#

and mines gonna be more expensive...

muted patio
#

number = price

mossy plaza
#

:/

#

hmm yea

muted patio
#

I added up my build once

#

shouldn't have

mossy plaza
#

..

#

how much?

muted patio
#

Don't remember exactly

#

I upgrade in pieces though

#

CPU/MB one year

#

GPU another year

mossy plaza
#

oh

muted patio
#

case another year

#

keeps it affordable

#

Once you start, you can do the same

mossy plaza
#

thats pretty smart

#

but why upgrade the case? xd

muted patio
#

Looks/airflow/water cooling

mossy plaza
#

ohhh

#

ok

#

I always kinda wanted to try out water cooling but it costs more and you have to maintain it more

muted patio
#

Not really

#

AIO's are affordable

#

and maintenance free

mossy plaza
#

oh

muted patio
#

Last 6-7 years

mossy plaza
#

hmm

muted patio
#

DIY stuff you should change coolant at least once a year.

#

They aren't completely sealed

ripe wedge
#

aios have little maintenance

#

only maintenance prolly is actually cleaning the rad

#

for dust

mossy plaza
#

well uh for my build the part that gets kinda confusing is that I kinda want to try and buy a smaller case and maybe a lower watt psu for the pc I have rn

muted patio
#

Fairly affordable compared to a full custom loop

mossy plaza
#

but thats when I actually start building my full on pc

muted patio
#

Fun fact

#

you can put a small mobo in a big case

#

It'll look funny but work

mossy plaza
#

yea..

#

thats what cyber power did to me

#

xd

muted patio
#

ohhhhh

#

Ye

#

MATX in an ATX case

mossy plaza
#

thats why i want to switch out all the parts into a tinier case

ripe wedge
#

id recommend the coolermaster mb311L

#

its pretty nice for a Matx case

#

and cheaper and comes with fans

mossy plaza
#

hmmm ok

muted patio
#

Well

mossy plaza
#

I'll keep that in mind

muted patio
#

You can put that 5600x on an MATX motherboard too

#

don't have to go full size

mossy plaza
#

seriously?

ripe wedge
#

yep

muted patio
#

Of course

ripe wedge
#

small boards work just as fine

muted patio
#

They may not have as many USB or SATA ports but yeah

mossy plaza
#

well the motherboard I have rn is a intel B75 so im not so sure xd but maybe

muted patio
#

Well

#

you'd need a new motherboard

#

but those are available

mossy plaza
#

ohhhh but a small one will still work

#

hmm

#

ok

muted patio
#

Liek this one

mossy plaza
#

ohh cheaper

#

xd

muted patio
#

Little bit

mossy plaza
#

mhm

muted patio
#

but you can use the new case you buy

mossy plaza
#

hmm yea

#

alright yea I guess I'll do that

#

I was just thinking I should use my ATX case since I kinda want a 3060 ti or something similar

#

and idk if it will fit in a smaller case

muted patio
#

You can put a 3060TI in an MATX case

mossy plaza
#

huh

muted patio
#

Just size it properly

mossy plaza
#

weird

muted patio
#

With decent airflow

mossy plaza
#

hmm

#

alright

muted patio
#

JayZ just had a video of an Origin PC Giveaway with a 3080 in an MATX case lol

#

Thermals were horrible but it works

#

and a 5950X I think

#

On a 120mm AIO which got a bit warm

mossy plaza
#

then I'll prob get a mid case then

#

for better thermals

muted patio
#

Well

#

That hardware is way more powerful than yours

mossy plaza
#

hm

muted patio
#

Yours would be fine in an M-ATX case with decent airflow

#

just ask here about it when you're ready

#

Or cases and PSU channel

mossy plaza
#

yea hmm

muted patio
#

TOo many options

mossy plaza
#

oh wait ur talking about having the parts I have rn into a tinier case yea yea

#

wait are you?

muted patio
#

Well, you're talking about a new case for current stuff

#

Yeah?

mossy plaza
#

no...

#

xd

muted patio
#

fack my life

mossy plaza
#

sry...

#

uh I'm talking about getting a tinier case for my pc I have rn

muted patio
#

Yes

#

My point is

mossy plaza
#

then putting my new parts into the case I have rn

muted patio
#

Oh, I see what you're up to

#

Putting a bigger mobo in the case from Cyberpower

mossy plaza
#

mhm

muted patio
#

That works too

mossy plaza
#

well i thought I'd need a bigger mobo for the ryzen 5

#

I could always do a tinier one

muted patio
#

Yes, you could

mossy plaza
#

I was mostly just thinking of using the big ATX case since the gpu would be big

#

and I wanted to keep thermals good

muted patio
#

3060 TI isn't that big

mossy plaza
#

it isn't?

#

hm weird

#

I always thought it was fairily big

broken umbra
#

r/sffpc

muted patio
#

Well, it's 10 inches long but can fit in an MATX case

mossy plaza
#

hm

#

well

#

uh

#

hmm

muted patio
#

Food for thought

mossy plaza
#

I feel like I'm having a cramp in my brain xd

broken umbra
#

also computer recycling plants and landfills

mossy plaza
#

wha?

broken umbra
#

small form factor PC for 0 USD

#

all parts found in recycling centers for free

mossy plaza
#

ohhhh

broken umbra
#

by u/petatoed

#

I'm messin tho dw

#

Goodwill is a good bet tho

mossy plaza
#

you got a banana for free?

#

nice

#

yea I guess so

ripe wedge
#

^^^

#

ive built in that case

muted patio
#

$60

ripe wedge
#

really easy to build in

muted patio
#

It ain't bad

mossy plaza
#

oh yea thats pretty much as big as the case I have rn

ripe wedge
#

it looks nice too

muted patio
#

It does

#

And good airflow, mesh front

#

Even has room for radiators if you want to step up to water

ripe wedge
#

yep and has room for thicc gpus

muted patio
#

I think I blew the poor kids brain

mossy plaza
#

yes

#

but I kinda understand

muted patio
#

What I'm saying is, the parts you want can come in a small package, that's all

mossy plaza
#

uhh yea

#

ok so what I'll probably do is just egt all my parts together then

#

oh god

#

wait

#

now i'm thinking of my storage

ripe wedge
#

watch a lot of youtube videos on computers before doing anything

mossy plaza
#

and if I can move that to

ripe wedge
#

thats my biggest tech tip

mossy plaza
#

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

mossy plaza
#

nice...

ripe wedge
#

eh, you can get it new at microcenter for that much

#

prolly

broken umbra
#

TRUE LOL

mossy plaza
#

lemme just come up with a list of parts i'll need first...

ripe wedge
#

and also thats locking you onto a dead platform lg1151

mossy plaza
#

brb

muted patio
#

The case I posted has room for 4 drives, 2 3.5" and 2 2.5"

broken umbra
#

on the nose actually

ripe wedge
#

^

#

that too

mossy plaza
#

oh yea so all i'd need is a new case and a new psu and then I can just come up with parts after that

broken umbra
#

8700k for 155

mossy plaza
#

aka a 450 watt psu and a mini atx case

#

or

#

something

#

yea

#

probably

ripe wedge
jagged ember
#

True

broken umbra
#

tbh I'm tempted to jump ship to AMD

jagged ember
#

Prices tho

ripe wedge
#

if you can get an amd chip tho

mossy plaza
#

amd is hurtin my brain rn..

ripe wedge
broken umbra
#

TRUE

little osprey
#

intel.has kinda of good value chips rn

ripe wedge
#

^

#

like the 10400

little osprey
#

10700k, 10400, 10100

jagged ember
#

Lol when Intel becomes budget

muted patio
#

Right?

little osprey
#

10600k is still kinda meh for the price

muted patio
#

Last time I saw that happen was 2009

little osprey
#

same for 10300 & 10600

#

however 5600x, 10700k, 10400f is absolute poggers rn

#

literally the best value CPUs

mossy plaza
#

so with my other stuff I added this on since I already have a psu and a case so this stuff will be there to let me switch out stuff or something

muted patio
#

wait

#

450W PSU for the 3060TI?

mossy plaza
#

nonononon

#

no

#

for the pc I have no

#

now*

muted patio
#

perfect

#

Just checkin

mossy plaza
#

whats the wattage I should have for it tho ;/

muted patio
#

600W or more

mossy plaza
#

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

#

looks like I'm gettin a 600watt

muted patio
#

lol

muted patio
#

No

#

Here's a reference list

#

That PSU is rated Tier E - Potentially Dangerous

mossy plaza
#

..

muted patio
#

Try Tier C or better

little osprey
#

Got an RMx 850w from corsair

#

Don’t see it in the list

#

Or maybe I don’t know how to read it

mossy plaza
#

my brain is just breaking as I'm reading this

#

well

#

this is what I have so far

#

the case is for transfering the other pc stuff into it

#

the uh psu is for the gpu

#

agh

#

my brain hurts

#

and I have to wake up at 10am

#

yea im out gn everyone

hollow grail
#

imo that case kinda sucks ass

mossy plaza
#

Hmmmmmmm looks like ill be changing it tomorrow

astral yacht
#

my usbs and monitor etc isn't getting any power but the fans are spinning and the rgb are on for everything can anyone help?

little osprey
#

Show a pic

#

Of the cables in the mobo

#

And by usbs do you mean the case io or the rear mobo io?

severe axle
#

that case does suck

hollow grail
#

sucks ass, even

severe axle
#

15% of the front is holes

hollow grail
#

rosewill case time

severe axle
#

rest is just metal

hollow grail
#

favorite case manufacturer ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

#

wooooo yea babey!!!!!

astral yacht
#

@little osprey both

hollow grail
#

if u were looking for rgb fans this case is literally $5 more than a fan pack

glossy bay
#

Rmx 850w is good and on the list

ripe wedge
#

rm850x is amazing

#

never had any issues with my unit

astral yacht
#

my usbs and monitor etc isn't getting any power but the fans are spinning and the rgb are on for everything can anyone help?

glossy bay
#

Motherboard/cpu ?

astral yacht
#

@glossy bay me?

glossy bay
#

The monitor should be powered by a separate cord and not through the computer

#

Yeah the name of the motherboard and cpu

astral yacht
#

i got a tuf b550 pro

#

r5 5600x

glossy bay
#

Did you flash the bios

astral yacht
#

how do i do that

glossy bay
#

So the b550 didn't naturally work with the 5000 series CPUs. A recent bios version allows them to work together, but you have no real way of knowing if you got a super recently made board or not

#

But first let's go over the other troubleshooting steps

#

The monitor, do you have both a power cable in it and a video cable that is running to your gpu

astral yacht
#

yes

glossy bay
#

Can you turn the monitor on even if it isn't getting signal

astral yacht
#

yes

glossy bay
#

And is it on the right input

astral yacht
#

yes

#

it's not only for monitor

#

it's for keyboard and mouse etc

#

i tried cheating my phone on it and it didn't work

glossy bay
#

Yeah just doing it separate because it could be different issues or the same

astral yacht
#

alr

glossy bay
#

You have the power supply on, seen by the lights

#

Do you have the 24pin mobo connector firmly seater on the psu side and the motherboard aide

astral yacht
#

yes

glossy bay
#

Do you have as many of the cpu power connectors in the motherboard as it has

#

8 pin connectors

astral yacht
#

yes

#

i used all my psu cables

glossy bay
#

That doesn't ways mean you have everything you need if it didn't come with enough

#

Filling the mobo connectors is more important than using all cables

astral yacht
#

o alr

hollow grail
#

its so funny when ppl get modular psus and then just use all the cables

glossy bay
#

Did you connect power to the gpu (if it has 2 power slots, using 2 different cables, not one two ended cable)

astral yacht
#

o that's why

glossy bay
#

Maybe

astral yacht
#

is there a difference?

glossy bay
#

What gpu

astral yacht
#

3070 asus dual

glossy bay
#

Yeah two cables let's it carry twice the power before it trips

#

May or may not be the issue but is recommended best practice

astral yacht
#

alr

#

i'll try tmr

#

what other possible reasons

hollow grail
#

we're helping you today so try today maybe

astral yacht
#

it's 3 am

glossy bay
#

Other things to do : fully remove the front panel connections and replace them paying careful attention to what pins and polarity are where

#

Make sure you actually press power on on the case

hollow grail
#

^^

astral yacht
#

the front panel connections are the little ones right

glossy bay
#

See if when it powers up it lights up an 8 segment display or an error led with a code from your mobo manual

astral yacht
#

yea those

#

that part was really confusing

#

so i prob did it wrong

glossy bay
#

Check that again

#

Fully remove and re do

astral yacht
#

alr

glossy bay
#

I usually leave the hdd light off

#

It annoys me

astral yacht
#

i don't see my hdd

glossy bay
#

Your manual will tell you what is where

astral yacht
#

how would i know if it's 2 pins

glossy bay
#

The manual

astral yacht
#

which way to face it

glossy bay
#

The manual says what has a positive and negative polarity

astral yacht
#

alr

glossy bay
#

If it doesn't have a polarity it doesn't matter

astral yacht
#

ok

glossy bay
#

Honestly leave everything but the power switch 2 pin off for the easiest test

#

Just that one 2 pin plug on the connector will be enough to start up

astral yacht
#

yea

glossy bay
#

Then press the cases startup

astral yacht
#

i got that one right

#

cause my pc turns on lol

glossy bay
#

Look at whatever your manual has for error reporting (8 segment or an led or maybe it beeps, in which case you need to make sure your speaker pins are plugged in)

astral yacht
#

i don't think i have speaker pins

glossy bay
#

Other options can be remove all but one piece of ram in whatever your mobo says is the first slot to put stuff (usually 2nd slot from.left in a 4 slot kotherboard

#

You have the b550 pro.from tuf?

astral yacht
#

yea that's what i put my ram in

#

ye

glossy bay
#

Did you mean plus?

#

Or is it pro

astral yacht
#

o mb it's plus
