If socket fits but bios doesn't support it, rip

#

I think the mobo has flashback tho

desert gulch
#

Mine didn't come updated to the latest version at the time, but then again I bought mine back over a year ago

obsidian wigeon
#

Can update bios without a cpu

desert gulch
#

That's only the pro variant

#

Plus wifi pro

obsidian wigeon
#

ah

desert gulch
#

Plus doesnt

abstract pike
#

doesnt amd send over cpu's for updating your bios for free on the rule you send it back

obsidian wigeon
#

ye

stoic island
desert gulch
#

Yea

stoic island
#

yes but that's annoying

desert gulch
#

Just a bit of extra work

#

I guess we find out when you get your Mobo and cpu

abstract pike
#

if it needs done it needs done. oh well

desert gulch
#

Yeah

#

You may get lucky and have a updated enough bios

stoic island
#

ye, good chance nowadays it's updated, but annoying if not

desert gulch
#

Mhmm

stoic island
#

flashback is also just a nice feature in general

desert gulch
#

Ye

kind vortex
#

just get a intel cpu

abstract pike
#

i got stuck because if i didnt get the plus i lost out on $300 off. i wanted the pro (with flashback)

desert gulch
#

My x570 plus wifi had a 6 month old bios so I don't have a ton of confidence in asus

obsidian wigeon
#

lol he's already got parts

desert gulch
#

Yeah

obsidian wigeon
#

saying "get intel" now is too late

desert gulch
#

Lol yeah

obsidian wigeon
#

well if it doesn't boot

stoic island
kind vortex
stoic island
#

heck

obsidian wigeon
#

ya could always get that and upgrade kit

abstract pike
#

whats the point getting intel. dont they sometimes have the same problem with bios not being up to date

obsidian wigeon
#

amd*

stoic island
#

you have stuff like b460 boards that won't even support 11th gen chips

obsidian wigeon
#

yep

#

it's same thing

stoic island
#

and z490 boards can still need bios update to support 11th gen chips

desert gulch
obsidian wigeon
#

but amd is good that they actually provide you free update kit

kind vortex
#

no one ise 11th gen these days

obsidian wigeon
#

provided you ship it back to em

obsidian wigeon
#

wut

desert gulch
#

Lol ye

kind vortex
#

WE USE 5TH GEN

obsidian wigeon
#

no one?

#

k

abstract pike
desert gulch
#

The cpu

stoic island
#

it's just sending you like a 200ge or smth

kind vortex
#

it the epic gamers cpu gen

desert gulch
#

Yeah

stoic island
#

and then you update your bios w it

kind vortex
#

but im goin for a i3 10100f

#

it a pretty good cpu

desert gulch
#

Buy a 10105 tbh

kind vortex
#

dude

desert gulch
#

They're sometimes cheaper, and they're better

#

100mhz better and a better stock cooler

kind vortex
desert gulch
#

Yeah

obsidian wigeon
#

10105 is better

#

ye

#

It has nicer copper slug stock

kind vortex
#

o

#

ok

desert gulch
#

Yeah

stoic island
#

better stock cooler fun

desert gulch
#

I've seen it at like $100 recently

obsidian wigeon
#

Back to the 775 days

abstract pike
desert gulch
#

I'm not

#

Same chip but increase in mhz

obsidian wigeon
#

We were comparing it to 10100

desert gulch
#

That means better perf

#

Yeah

obsidian wigeon
#

10105 is its refresh

abstract pike
#

oh then im blind

desert gulch
#

Lol

kind vortex
#

i see

#

10105f is pretty good

#

better clock speed too

desert gulch
#

Idk why 10105 was even created but I'm not complaining

stoic island
obsidian wigeon
#

I wish it were made in 11th gen

abstract pike
#

thanks

obsidian wigeon
#

Comet refresh is kinda a meme

kind vortex
#

danm my pc is expensive now

abstract pike
#

if only the mobo was like $50 i would have just got the $300 off and then bought the pro. maybe next time i upgrade ill get a flashback mobo

stoic island
#

the thing is

#

a board about half the cost of x570-plus wifi has flashback (b550m pro vdh wifi, actually really competent board for the price of ~100-110$)

abstract pike
#

yeah thats the stupid part

#

great board besides that at least

stoic island
#

eh, it's decent nowadays

obsidian wigeon
#

My mobo sucks ngl

#

Only single pwm header for case fans

#

And many headers were missing, but then again it's a cheaped out B550M-K

#

Has rog bios cause it's in an rog machine

#

It's such a weird thing

cursive tusk
#

Hey guys if I bent a little pin in the back of the mobo is that bad

#

I’ll send a pic

obsidian wigeon
#

What pin?

abstract pike
#

uhhhh, maybe/maybe not

cursive tusk
#

It’s like the one behind the 24 pin connector

obsidian wigeon
#

ehhh

cursive tusk
#

U can’t rlly see it on picture

obsidian wigeon
#

It's fine

#

Shouldn't be a worry

cursive tusk
#

much better picture

obsidian wigeon
#

yeah that's okay

#

It's soldered so dw

cursive tusk
#

Oh okay I was worried for a sec

obsidian wigeon
#

Just be careful

abstract pike
#

did you drop it or something

kind vortex
#

wait

#

are you guys building a pc?

abstract pike
#

I am

kind vortex
#

ehe

abstract pike
#

what?

kind vortex
abstract pike
#

i get everything tomarow. i only got half today

kind vortex
#

ok

#

show me the pic when you done building the pc :)

vagrant knot
#

am I bottle necked by anything in my system? not really sure and came to ask for help wuuut

kind vortex
#

idk lmao

vagrant knot
#

kinda hard to tell

abstract pike
vagrant knot
#

is it my ethernet?

kind vortex
abstract pike
#

well if all you want to see is the front of the case i can take a picture now

#

i thought you wanted to see a angled side view picture of the whole thing built

cursive tusk
#

shikes I scratched the mobo

kind vortex
abstract pike
#

oh and i will finally be able to play pcvr too. i have a quest 2, im going to have fun with wireless

abstract pike
#

yeah

#

PC VR

#

pcvr

kind vortex
#

NICEEE

cursive tusk
#

If u scratch a mobo u fine right? 0-o

abstract pike
#

what are you doing over there!? it depends if it still works

cursive tusk
#

well u can’t even notice the scratch lol

#

My pulse is bad :c

#

srry

kind vortex
obsidian wigeon
#

but don't make it too deep

#

like what i did with mine

#

this is the kind of scratch that will kill the mobo

cursive tusk
#

well it wasn’t that big like it’s not even visible if u don’t zoom in

cursive tusk
obsidian wigeon
#

the pretty visible ones

#

like broken copper wires

cursive tusk
potent portal
cursive tusk
#

U can barely see the scratch

obsidian wigeon
#

it's fine

#

also if the scratch is deep but no in any connection areas

#

it's ok

potent portal
#

Yeh that's just a surface scratch

obsidian wigeon
#

well falcie in my case the whole mobo died lmao

#

it does turn on but no life

potent portal
#

Unfortunate. I see where there's a couple traces outside the audio zone that got tagged too.

obsidian wigeon
#

ye

#

I did rma it

#

Took me a week

cursive tusk
#

This is an audio thing idk if it’s good

#

It’s supreme fx

obsidian wigeon
#

the audio line is the golden line

cursive tusk
#

Oh

obsidian wigeon
#

also well, onboard audio is always meh

cursive tusk
#

I’m rlly new to pc building as u can tell

obsidian wigeon
#

you need an external dac to get the most outta like high end audio stuff

#

but for most cases

#

onboard works fine

#

so dw too much

potent portal
#

Even with an isolated audio zone like that will still be subject to some electrical interference, causing some light pops and crackles

obsidian wigeon
#

ye

#

an external dac is a recc if you have noise issues

cursive tusk
#

External dac is?

#

like a mixer or?

obsidian wigeon
#

Nah

#

An external dac is a dedicated dac that connects to yo pc

#

It improves audio quality, and solves inteference issues if it's a good one

potent portal
#

DAC = Digital to Analog Converter

obsidian wigeon
#

I want dac for my laptop tbh

#

It loves to hiss

#

fiio e10k would be nice

#

Both dac and amp

plain grove
#

Yeah I kinda have a problem I accidentally put the wrong screw when I was putting the motherboard on the case and now the screw is stuck and I don’t want to damage the mb anyone know a way to take it out?

little osprey
#

Well your only option here is to gently and carefully unscrew it…

#

Common sense

#

Or just leave it in there

plain grove
#

I tried that

little osprey
#

If it’s not causing an immediate problem then just leave it

plain grove
#

Basically I think the screw is bent so when I try to pull it out it spins but doesn’t come out

wispy matrix
#

then unbend it

little osprey
#

Leave it

#

in there

plain grove
#

Ik but what if I want to upgrade the mb later?

#

@little osprey

little osprey
#

Then yank it out

#

Bro you have two options

plain grove
#

Lol i tried that I almost broke the mb

little osprey
#

Leave it in there

#

or take it out

plain grove
#

I can’t

#

Well I might have to leave the mb in there permanently

cursive tusk
#

:/

trail elbow
#

Finally finished by build rocking a 9900k and RTX 3070 MSI ventus 2x ive had the PC with no GPU for 9 months and finally was able to get one off of the Newegg shuffle

desert gulch
#

Niceeee

potent portal
#

Not bad at all

trail elbow
#

yep runs every game i play at 1440p 165 fps or above

cursive tusk
#

Cant plug this eps cable fully in ://

potent portal
#

Try another cable or shave down the corners a bit

celest horizon
#

Ask it nicely

cursive tusk
#

Yeah I was thinking about trimming the corner a bit because it’s a bit short

#

lemme get my tools

wheat coral
little osprey
#

Took me a second to see it, but ya, shave that shizznit down

obsidian wigeon
#

^

plain grove
#

What’s pci-e

#

It’s labeled on the power supply but when I look on the mb I see pci 2 and 3

obsidian wigeon
#

pci express

#

well it's connector for pcie

#

like gpu

#

that's just it

plain grove
#

So I can just put it in any pci slot

obsidian wigeon
#

You plug it into the gpu

#

Not the slot lol

#

The gpu goes into the slot on the mobo

#

Just ignore it if your gpu doesn't need one

plain grove
obsidian wigeon
#

ya

plain grove
#

Alright thanks

#

And what about the other cables?

obsidian wigeon
#

Reading the manual would be your best bet

#

I honestly can't remember everything

potent portal
#

The other ones in the photo are for sata devices like hard drives or molex devices

obsidian wigeon
#

But yeah

#

Those others in the pic looks like molex and sata

plain grove
#

If only I knew what that was

#

I’m knew to pc building I did quite a bit of research but I’m still clueless

potent portal
#

Molex stuff is rare these days, usually unused

plain grove
#

Do I don’t need to plug it in?

obsidian wigeon
#

ye

potent portal
#

Not if you don't have anything that uses it

obsidian wigeon
#

You don't

#

Like falcie said

plain grove
#

What do I need to plug in so far I got the cpu gpu,cpu fan, power supply and there’s more wires

tawny violet
#

@potent portal did you see my pong?

obsidian wigeon
#

Read your mobo's manual too tbh

plain grove
#

The manual is confusing

obsidian wigeon
#

The blue is usb

#

3.0 I think

potent portal
#

Then the front panel headers

obsidian wigeon
#

ye

potent portal
#

It's all in the manual for your case and/or motherboard, I can tell you what page if you tell us which one it is

plain grove
#

MSI B560M PRO-VDH WiFi (mATX, 11th/10th Gen Intel Core, LGA 1200 Socket, DDR4, PCIe 4, CFX, M.2 Slots, USB 3.2, 2.5G LAN, DP/HDMI)

obsidian wigeon
#

Case?

potent portal
obsidian wigeon
#

da manual

plain grove
#

Bgears b-Voguish Gaming PC Front and Side with Tempered Glass ATX Desktop Mid Tower case, USB3.0, Support E-ATX, ATX, MicroATX, ITX Motherboard

tawny violet
#

If you have time now
I'm curious what you would go with

potent portal
#

2k including monitor mouse and keyboard?

plain grove
#

I have that manual but like I said it’s confusing

#

I’m new to this

potent portal
#

The front panel stuff is on page 32 including a picture showing where each connector goes

#

The USB connector is shown on page 34

obsidian wigeon
#

Everything is even labeled to correct order

#

Well provided the case's connectors has pinout lettering

plain grove
#

It does

obsidian wigeon
#

Just follow it and it'll be fine

#

Match the side of the connectors to the headers and such

potent portal
#

Colored wires are + , black are -

#

If it's not labeled

#

Since they're all black it should be labeled

obsidian wigeon
#

ya

plain grove
#

Does it fully need to go in or can it be a little out for the pins?

obsidian wigeon
#

ye

#

As long as it's in tight

#

It's fine

potent portal
#

It should be as far in as you can get it ideally

obsidian wigeon
#

^

plain grove
#

alright I didn’t wanna break it

obsidian wigeon
#

Use some force and let go if you feel it can't go in anymore

#

It won't break too easily

#

Make sure to go in straight too

plain grove
#

Alright

#

My case didn’t come with a manual so I might be a little confused where does audio usually go?

obsidian wigeon
#

Does the case have extra audio connector?

plain grove
#

I see something that says jaud1

tawny violet
plain grove
#

No

tawny violet
#

I have to start from nothing

obsidian wigeon
#

Like uh

#

2.5mm jack on the case

plain grove
#

Just one foxy

Reason: Too many infractions

obsidian wigeon
#

Alright, well

potent portal
#

Oops

obsidian wigeon
#

Lemme find

#

yep

#

jaud is for audio

plain grove
#

I feel like it goes in jaud1

obsidian wigeon
#

for the front panel

plain grove
#

Alright

tawny violet
#

Reeee

plain grove
#

Yep that’s definitely the one the pins line up as well

obsidian wigeon
#

good

plain grove
#

Now I wanna make sure I did this right I only had one cable marked for usb I put it in usb1 but there’s also a usb 2

potent portal
#

Either one it fits in will work

obsidian wigeon
#

^

#

oh wow asus manual is pain to read

#

im goin thru my mobo's manual lol

#

msi is much easier

#

cause it's bigger

plain grove
#

That’s usb 3 right?

obsidian wigeon
#

looks like it

plain grove
#

Alright

plain grove
#

I have so many extra wires but idk where to put them

#

@obsidian wigeon

obsidian wigeon
#

mhmm

#

Well manual would let you know how

#

The link is up here

plain grove
#

Nope it doesn’t

obsidian wigeon
#

for the mobo that is

plain grove
#

I already checked

#

It doesn’t explain the sata

obsidian wigeon
#

Sata cable on the psu?

#

Nah you don't need to connect it unless you have sata drives

#

Besides if it's on the psu, it has to connect to sata devices anyway

#

Not the mobo

#

The mobo is for data cable for sata

plain grove
obsidian wigeon
#

yeah don't worry about those right now

plain grove
#

So basically i don’t need these wires and don’t need to plug in the sata

obsidian wigeon
#

Yes, if you don't have any sata devices

plain grove
#

I have a hard drive

#

@obsidian wigeon

obsidian wigeon
#

Ah

#

Then use the sata cable on the psu

#

Connect it to the hdd, smaller part of its connector

#

As for mobo, it should have a sata cable somewhere

#

Then just connect it to both mobo and hdd's data connector

plain grove
#

Like that?

obsidian wigeon
#

yep

#

wait uhm

#

that doesn't look right?

plain grove
#

Is that all I notice there’s something missing on the right

obsidian wigeon
#

That's..

#

Definitely not sata cable

#

For the mobo

wispy matrix
#

thats not a sata cable

plain grove
#

It says sata on it?

#

Yeah on the cable it says sata

obsidian wigeon
#

Wait it's right

#

The guide looks like that

#

So ye I was confused

plain grove
#

Alright what about the pins on the right do I need a wire for that

#

Or what I already have works?

potent portal
#

No nothing on those pins, only power on the left and the data you already connected

plain grove
#

Alright good to know

obsidian wigeon
#

yep

plain grove
#

What do I do with this

#

Found it in the power supply

potent portal
#

Not necessary

#

It's used mostly for diagnostic

plain grove
#

Alright

#

I’m done with everything except for my fans but idk where they go or even if I did them right

potent portal
#

Your fan header locations are marked on page 35

plain grove
#

Ik but I don’t think I built them right

potent portal
#

2 per fan? They must be RGB

plain grove
#

Yeah

potent portal
#

Ok let me see if that case comes with a hub

#

Because you don't have enough headers for all of those

plain grove
#

What do I need to be able to fit all of them

potent portal
#

Looks like there's a splitter so that's good at least

#

The fans are rated at 0.29A so you can do 3 on a single header just fine

#

This one goes into one of the fan headers on the board

#

It's hard to tell in this angle but check if this has 3 or 4 holes

plain grove
#

3

potent portal
#

Ok, that one goes in the header marked on page 39, jrainbow1

plain grove
#

Found it

#

Anything else?

potent portal
#

That should be it for the fans but it's hard to tell if those were exactly the right connectors. We'll know when you boot it up.

#

The rest of the connectors are optional based on other configurations

plain grove
#

Alright I’ll turn it on

#

Before I do that how do I take these out

potent portal
#

Bend and snap

#

They're not the replaceable kind

potent portal
#

Seems ok but B550 is better for most people

wintry tide
#

heard that X570 mobo is more premium than B550 mobo

potent portal
#

B550 is newer so it tends to have newer VRM design. Besides that, the chipset fan on X570 has the potential to fail and adds more noise.

#

The only real difference going up to X570 is both M.2 slots are gen 4 (irrelevant to 99.9%) there are more PCIe lanes (doesn't matter with a single GPU) and there's up to 2 more USB ports.

wintry tide
#

But this Asrock is Gen2 X570. Does that make any difference?

potent portal
#

It might have an updated VRM design but besides that no

#

Most people really don't need the extra features from X570, so it's not worth the cost and other downsides.

What? No on the websites(except best buy and micro center they in person drops) it's all explained in the guide

#

Ok I have a question.
This is my first time building a pc and everything is installed.
The only problem im having is the wiring. I dont know where most of the cables go.
Can some walk me through it?

peak ginkgo
#

It really depends on what motherboard, parts, and PC case that you have. Some people buy motherboards that doesn't support the tech that the case allows and vice versa

idk whats the best way to map my pcie cable cuse my case (NR600) doesnt have any holes that come from the bottome that can fit the 2x 8 pin pcie cables and atm i have it coming out like at the bottom corner of my motherboard do you guys know of any better ways to map it?

stoic island
#

to route the cable for cable management or do you want to map the pinout...?

but yeah we gotta diagnose first

unreal bison
limber solstice
#

Well every part is booting right?

unreal bison
#

Yes

#

And no hdmi signal

obsidian wigeon
#

It could be the ram at first

unreal bison
#

I think so

#

I got 4 x 32gb rams

#

So does it matter If I put the rams randomly

marble gust
#

@unreal bison you just had to send the PCpartpicker link =/

limber solstice
#

yes

#

If 4 no

unreal bison
#

The moni light up that ram

limber solstice
#

Id say ask a techie bc i dont have to much trouble shooting exp

obsidian wigeon
#

The ram is the issue

limber solstice
#

ye

#

Too much?

obsidian wigeon
#

Try booting with one stick

limber solstice
#

Or two

obsidian wigeon
#

No, too much ram won't be an issue

limber solstice
#

Oh

obsidian wigeon
#

32 surely isn't too much for anything that modern

unreal bison
#

I am reading your supports

limber solstice
#

Cuz i think he did a corsair build so everything should work

unreal bison
#

Yeah

obsidian wigeon
#

Just try booting with one stick in every slots

ohh now you need to find out which slot/ram stick is broken

limber solstice
#

Oh my god it looks good tho

unreal bison
#

Ooofffff

unreal bison
#

It hard

obsidian wigeon
#

yeah

#

Ya gotta find out which slot/stick dies

#

Gotta test every single stick

#

Then start doing two sticks at a time

unreal bison
#

Oh

#

So can I put the other 3 back in

obsidian wigeon
#

If you want

#

Well after you're done ya

#

Then if it doesn't boot well it's certainly ram being faulty

#

Gotta rma it

marble gust
#

true, or use the ram you using and try every slot

obsidian wigeon
#

Mobo works

marble gust
#

if it boots all slots then try next stick and so on

obsidian wigeon
#

So that's one big issue gone

unreal bison
#

Oh

#

Ok guys

#

So I neeed to turn off

marble gust
#

Cool it works.

obsidian wigeon
#

Uhm yeah

#

Turn off, take ram off, put it in another slot

unreal bison
marble gust
#

yes turn it off when you install or unistall things. Also, unplug it from the wall and press the power button before touching it

obsidian wigeon
#

Ya hold on that

unreal bison
#

Hmmm my aio no on

obsidian wigeon
#

It'll shut off

unreal bison
marble gust
#

I'll let Foxy do the help

obsidian wigeon
#

Well the aio fans are spinning

#

That's not a concern

unreal bison
#

Oh

obsidian wigeon
#

It'll display when you config it to do so

#

I think

unreal bison
#

This ram is dying

earnest olive
#

wait bruh did you plug in parts into your PC while it was on

unreal bison
#

No

obsidian wigeon
#

It doesn't display?

#

Sorry, does it display anything?

#

I'm kinda sleepy lol

#

ah nvm it has dram light

glacial umbra
#

tech support time?

obsidian wigeon
#

Try other stick

#

Start in that slot that has problem

unreal bison
#

The second one near Myyy Xbox didn’t work

#

This third one work

obsidian wigeon
#

So..

#

It's the ram, then

#

Not the mobo, thank god

unreal bison
#

Yeah

glacial umbra
#

just rearrange the ram letter

#

move the m forward

#

RMA!!!!

unreal bison
#

Yeah me test the last one

obsidian wigeon
#

lmao

#

Well it's confirmed the ram ain't workin

#

Time to rma it

unreal bison
#

Yep

obsidian wigeon
#

It honestly sucks to finish the build to find out something's dead, cause ya gotta wait for rma

unreal bison
#

@@

#

Ok

#

One out of four don’t work

obsidian wigeon
#

Well good luck on the rma

#

But generally it should be smooth

unreal bison
#

So can I use 3 rams

obsidian wigeon
#

Yes but uh

glacial umbra
#

you might need to return them all

unreal bison
#

3x 32gb

glacial umbra
#

for RMA

obsidian wigeon
#

You paid for that ram, might as well use the warranty

#

But you need to return em all yes

unreal bison
#

Instead of 4 x32gb

obsidian wigeon
#

They're a kit so

unreal bison
#

Bc ik now one won’t work

obsidian wigeon
#

Nah you're actually running 24 gigs with 3 sticks

unreal bison
#

:<<

#

How about 2 sticks

obsidian wigeon
#

Then down to 16

#

Cause 2x8

unreal bison
#

Oh

#

I see

#

I might need a new rams

obsidian wigeon
#

I suggest use that warranty on the ram

#

You won't need to buy more

unreal bison
#

Oh oki

#

Lol

obsidian wigeon
#

Like request an rma from wherever you bought from

#

Or corsair

hazy wadi
#

I put 32 gigs of ram in my 7 year old sisters pc

unreal bison
#

yes, but i didn't think of that @@

#

Corsair

obsidian wigeon
#

That should work if you decide to rma thru corsair

#

It's still their product after all

glacial umbra
#

@unreal bison did you buy from a local store? they might offer returns right there and then, just depends where you bought it from

obsidian wigeon
#

^

#

Or even just free swap for new kit

limber solstice
#

Oof

glacial umbra
#

amazon is pretty good with broken products, atleast from my personal experience

unreal bison
#

4 sticks of 32 go

glacial umbra
#

does corsair charge shipping for RMA or will they cover it?

unreal bison
#

One couldn’t work

#

Hmmm yeah

#

Let’s me check

glacial umbra
#

I'd look but im in school rn sorry

unreal bison
#

Yeah you alright

#

Thank you guys so so so much

#

you can see articles about past ones

not future ones

#

too lazy to grab an article about the one few weeks ago

#

but that was one a few months ago

jovial radish
#

so

#

it makes sense to program your intake fans to run faster than exhaust, yeah?

#

more air coming in than going out

earnest olive
#

you could

#

I've never seen a significant difference in temps based off of air pressure alone

little osprey
#

My 1U rack finally arrived LESS GOOOOO

#

Im not home though so I havent seen it yet.

tawny violet
# jovial radish more air coming in than going out

That's not going to directly change temps
It will however create positive air pressure in the case
Meaning there will be slightly less dust in your case (especially if all the air intakes are filtered)
Or if you set it up well
A lot less maybe

jovial radish

What’s that header for ?

What's the cheapest gaming PC you guys can come up with that will run 1080p 60fps in Apex legends

cursive tusk
#

They both go into each other right ? It’s because they won’t go in all the way

fossil cedar
# cursive tusk

You should u be able to use just the f_panel connecter if it matches your motherboard layout, if it doesn't then you use the thing with prongs coming out to seperste them

cursive tusk
#

It’s because it’s an amd board

fossil cedar
#

Every board can differ doesn't matter if intel or amd

#

Just check the pinot on your manual for front panel

#

Or stick the one block in and hope it is the right pinout, if it doesn't use the extender,( thing on the left) to do the layout properly

Anyone know where I can get on a waiting list for a white strix card?

ocean tundra
#

I'm not sure if this is the best place to ask but I've tried everything I can think of to get my gaming laptop working. No matter what I try i get zero activity from the computer. It's a lenovo Y520. I've tested the power suppy with a voltmeter and it reads good. I've tried checking battery cable connections. Tried reseating the RAM. Literally zero activity, no charging indicator light or anything. Does this mean it's a bricked computer or is there something else i can try?

analog hearth
#

it might be that the charging port is broken

#

I wouldn't know how to fix it, but it is fixable

ocean tundra
#

Is there a way i could test the port?

analog hearth
#

I wouldn't know that either

ocean tundra
#

It's a good idea

#

I'll look into it more

analog hearth
#

all I know about charging ports and fixing them is that it's been done before. I remember watching a JayzTwoCents video, he fixed a relative's charging port

#

it was a janky way of fixing it but it worked

#

I mean it wasn't a tutorial (iirc) but it proves that it's possible to fix it

wheat coral
#

should be fine

#

570 is fine with apex and apex likes FX fairly well

#

use 20.8.1 drivers

a 570 on PCIe 2.0 is not fun

wheat coral

#

Tried both slots

#

Multiple times

topaz kestrel
#

fleet pagoda
#

Ive used this cable before so I believe it works

topaz kestrel

vague oracle

Try reseating your boot drive

plain grove

Im not using one

vague oracle
#

Your ram, cpu, and gpu are fine

fleet pagoda
topaz kestrel
#

so you are using integrated graphics @plain grove

fleet pagoda

^^

#

plain grove
#

Alright the vga is plugged in

#

Is there something else in the back that I’m missing

vague oracle
#

By the bottom of the board there should be this

#

Which one is lighting up?

plain grove
#

Boot

vague oracle
#

Forget about your GPU, it’s not that

#

Something is up with your boot drive

#

Reseat whatever SSD your OS is on

plain grove
#

Wdym

topaz kestrel
#

or hardrive if you are using htat

#

that*

plain grove
#

I’m using a hard drive

vague oracle
#

Are you able to get into your bios?

plain grove
#

What’s that?

topaz kestrel
#

does your pc display anything or does it stay black screen basically

vague oracle
#

Restart on your PC and spam the delete key

#

Does it take you to any screen?

plain grove
#

Normally if I turn it on it’s supposed to turn on the monitor with it

vague oracle
#

Make sure the monitor is on then do what I just said

plain grove
#

The pc turns on but the monitor doesn’t

vague oracle
#

So there’s no motherboard logo or anything like that when you turn it on?

plain grove
#

Nope

#

I’ll try what you said

vague oracle
#

What motherboard is it?

#

B560M doesn’t tell me anything, there are a lot of them
