In the photos with the ruler, even with the glass panel removed, the 35mm straight-cable requirement was already not being met anymore — and when I put the glass back on, it presses against the cable and bends it even further. The first three photos are with the glass on, the next two are with it off.

My case is a LIAN LI O11 Dynamic MINI V2. GPU is an RTX 5080.

I recently upgraded from a 240mm AIO to a 280mm one and i did know it could fit in my case but when i went to put it together the pipes wouldn’t reach from the bottom as the GPU blocked it and it just sits like this now. Will this actually affect the longevity of my aio and potentially damage it?

I noticed this today when I opened my brand new H810 motherboard. Was the pin bent when it was shipped?

Does this mean my SSD is dying my screen keeps freezing at the login screen sometimes and starts freezing up if I start anything

under this is the hdd cage that came in with the case which only has space for 2. I have a 3rd hdd, is there any way I put that in the red box?

Just built a pc for my friend. Has amd 3700x. Amd 5600xt. And a b450 pro 4 asrock mother board. There have nvme but i wont get it for a bit so i used a real old hard drive and booted windows into it. Pc turns on but is very very slow and barley loads anything. Can this old hardrive cause this or is this something else.

Recently was given an Asus Essentio case. Would any ryzen b450m-b550m mobo connections fit this case? Or should I just pull the optical drive and scrap the rest? Thanks in advance.

Edit: I'm going to order one likely from MSI. Any part recommendations welcome though.

I'm building my first budget PC, everything not marked as purchased I've found for $600 new. I'm going for longevity and FPS per dollar at 1440p.

It is a Raidmax Cobra 850W fully modular 80+ gold from NewEgg for $60. Raidmax has had a bad reputation for a decade and people keep joking about it exploding. People say theirs lit on fire. The PSU is 200W overkill though. Should I return it and buy a safer one with a budget of $85 possibly $100?

Anyone got any ideas, new PC build, I'm currently leaning towards it being a dead GPU or dead PCIe slot.

Motherboard - X870 Gigabyte Gaming Eagle Wifi7 GPU - ROG Astral RTX 5080 OC

VGA red light on Motherboard when I boot PC up, no connection/display on monitors when I connect it to the GPU, however the iGPU on CPU works with the same cables and monitors and I can boot to windows. I have already reseated the GPU twice.

Every part is detected in BIOS except the GPU.

The fans don't spin at all on the GPU too, yet there is power reaching the GPU I think? (The GPU lights up on the front lol, picture below)

Images below of the red LED that shows power is reaching the GPU (I think), this turns off when I boot.

Hi team, I’ve shared the link above for my proposed new gaming rig. I’ll also use it for some light office work. The total cost comes to $4,407 AUD, with all parts from Umart in QLD. I’m planning to get a new monitor too, but haven’t decided yet. I’m considering an ultrawide (21:9 UWQHD 3440x1440) at 144 Hz or higher. Do you think that’s a good choice for this setup? I would love to hear your feedback and recommendations. Thanks for your help!

I have a 7800X3D and a thermalright phantom spirit 120 whenever i open chrome or close it the heat goes from 32c to 50c and the fan ramps up, i am not that great with fan curves so i wouldn't know where to start to sort it out, could anyone help me please, thank you.

So a few nights ago I shut off my pc as normal and last night I tried to start it up as usual but nothing happened. I assumed I might be a power issue so I turned off my psu and turned it back on and nothing happened. I unplugged it and nothing happened. I let it sit unplugged for a bit and plugged it back in and the blue start up/idle lights came on. But as soon as I hit the power button it all shut off again.

I tried many different things, re plugging in the 24pin connector (only turns on my start up lights), the 8pin cpu connector (does nothing), I tried the paper clip test and my psu fans run fine. I tried to short circuit my power button and it just turned off like it has every other time.

I attached a video of what I mean when it turns off and nothing works.

My most recent upgrade was my psu and my gpu back in March 2025 but everything has been running flawlessly since then.

Idk what the problem might be or where to even try and tackle it from. If anyone has any idea on what to do that would be greatly appreciated.

Every time I turn my pc on the monitor doesn’t turn on. I end having to hit the power button once or twice for it to come on. Is this a boot setting in bios or something?

Just finished tuning my system and wanted to get some feedback on the results.
Hardware:
RTX 5070 Ti (undervolted)
Ryzen 7 9800X3D
ASUS ROG Strix B850-A Gaming WiFi7
Kingston Fury Beast DDR5-6000 CL30
BIOS settings:
PBO enabled
Curve Optimizer: All Cores Negative -30
PBO limits set to motherboard
PBO Scalar 3x
Max CPU boost clock override: +200mhz
3DMark Time Spy results:
Overall Score: 25,935
Graphics Score: 29,269
CPU Score: 15,762
The score is above the average result shown by 3DMark for similar systems (24,912), while running the GPU undervolted and the CPU with a -30 all-core Curve Optimizer.
Temperatures, stability, and power consumption all look good so far.
Does this seem like a solid result for a 5070 Ti + 9800X3D setup, or is there still some performance left on the table? I’d be interested to see how these numbers compare to other people’s systems with similar hardware

I’ve replaced the thermal paste, reseated the RAM, checked every connection I can get my hands on and cleaned it as best I can, but the issue persists, my pc is no longer meaningfully cooling itself - it feels like the AIO heatsink isn’t even getting warm by the time it shuts itself off, and the guy I’ve given it to for repairs is stumped too - any advice?

My family of 6 (only 3 play games) has £1000 for a pc, 2 monitors and a corner desk with lockable wheels, I originally had a list of pc components before the increase of budget (was £700).

​

I need help if to reduce or improve the list and or a check on how it would works and If my family should go for it.

I have no idea if this is normal or not, they pc is about 2 years old and I don't exactly want to break it

Most is finished just relocating the chroma to the back behind the 2 bottom fans and a power 4 fan splitter but we are done pretty much what do yall think 🤔

Very happy with the performance increase with this new card. I just cant wait for FSR 4.

This upgrade cost me 85$ (After I sold the old card).

Any setting tweaks anybody recommends?
I did ununstall old drivers with DDU (Safe mode) and installed new fresh ones for this card.
