Hello everyone, As the title says I'm having a bit of a problem with my pc build. I'm currently upgrading to a new pc and wanted to make another one out of my current build. I wanted to keep the drives,case, gpu and psu for now though. Thus, what I've done is I bought a new case, psu and took an old hdd from a different pc. I've put my old mobo with ram, cpu and cooler still attached into the new chassis, connected the hdd and power and.. it keeps turning on and off with fans spinning but no post or sound signals. What I've tried so far: •resetting the cmos by shortening the pins •resetting the cmos by taking out the battery for 5 mins and holding the power button for 30 seconds •reseating all inner connectors(cpu 8-pin, mobo, front panel, audio, hdd, usb 3.0) •trying the all the ram sticks one by one •moving and rescrewing in the motherboard (in case the standoffs weren't aligned perfectly and somehow shortened it) •disconnecting all unnecessary hardware and connectors-hdd&gpu, reset button cable What I haven't tried: •trying my old/different psu, although the one currently in seems to be powering the fans and mobo led •reconnecting old drives, i haven't done anything prior to switching componets, but afaik this shouldn't matter right? •powering the pc only by shortening the pins After every attempt it looks the same, the fans start spinning for a bit and the mobo led lights up but it powers down after a sec. It usually happens once or twice, and later it seems to "turn on" for longer but it later powers down anyway. When I've tried one particular ram stick i think it turned on for longer from start, but honestly I'm not sure. There is no visual signal nor beeps from the included speaker I've connected. It seems like the motherboard is damaged or some connector is not inserted properly. I'm very much a novice builder, but I've tried to be careful all the time. I wore an esd strap on my ankle when working with anything and handled the components gently without touching the pcbs if possible. Rig I'm trying to boot up: I5-6600k Nh-u12S Gigabyte z170-d3h Be quiet system power 9 600W 4x4gb g.skill ripjaws IV ddr4 3ghz SilentiumPC Signum SG1M TG case Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Allright, thanks a lot once more

Thanks! The NH-U12S should also be fine unless i do some heavy oc right?

Hi there. Recently I've been planning an upgrade for my pc and if one of you could double check my build and answer questions that'd be great So, let's get down to details: *Thing i'd like to buy* Ryzen 5 3600 MSI Tomahawk Max B450 (Possibly) Corsair Vengeance RGB 3600 *Things i have now I'd like to keep* Gigabyte 980Ti (i'll upgrade it later) NH-U12S cooler (i bought it in 2016, but the nm-am4 mounting kit should solve this problem right?) G.Skill Ripjaws4 4x4gb 3ghz (F4-3000C15Q-16GRBB)- but ive heard ryzens benefit from higher clock speeds and idk whether the mobo would be fully compatible with them(@3ghz that is) Corsair RM750 Drives(1 hdd, 1 sata ssd, 1 nvme ssd) Phanteks Enthoo Pro case Thanks in advice for any replies, ideas, answering my question or telling my why im wrong xd Cheers, NFSU

Thats all i needed to know, thanks!

Hi there, This may sounds stupid, but i wanted to make sure i understand everything correctly. I wanted to upgrade my pc with an nvme ssd since I'm running out of space and they're cheaper than ever. I have an i5-6600k on a GA Z170 D3H motherboard. Because this cpu has 16 pcie lanes support and since i have a gpu in the 16x slot i should get a new cpu and mobo, because pcie nvme gen3 x4 takes 4 lanes right? And if i didnt my gpu would be bottlenecked or would my drive operate at lower speeds? Thanks in advance for clarifying, NFSU

Will try that in the morning, gonna let you know if ur interested

I've tried to, but this particulate series is not supported by the mobo thus making xmp not work. Manual oc also didnt work for some reason even after adjusting the voltage and everything. Oh and did i mention its rated at 3000mhz so its not even technically oc?

Intel, i5-6600k to be exact

2133 mhz?

Keen eye, yes it is minecraft that's why I was looking at ram usage. Would it use 5 gb? What for?

Hello there, I've encountered something very odd while using my pc&laptop and have no clue why is it happening. Apparently both my pc and laptop seem to use much more ram than the sum of all processes in task manager. For example now, task manager tells me that 77% of memory is being used(around 12,3GB of my 16GB), but all of the processes don't use up more than 7GB. Im uploading clip for reference. Any help/explanation would be greatly appreciated.

hello everyone, I have encountered strange problem. Whenever i launch games my headphones start to buzz. This annoying noise makes playing any games highly unpleasureable. Interestingly, this happens only in some games (CS:GO, DOTA2, PUBG) and the buzzing changes tone whenever i change video settings. Because of that i assume its probably not electromagnetic interference. Maybe its because of game engine? I don't have any other source 2/ unreal 4 games to check this theory. In addition i don't recall dota2 making this kind of annoying sounds previously, i really dont have idea what might be the problem. If, however, it was the case of interferences maybe some kind of DAC far from PC could solve the problem? I'm not an expert in that matter and I've read simillar posts on tomshardware and one here at ltt. Haven't found any working solution(I've seen people talking about removing grounding cables from speakers or turning VSYNC off, didn't help me).
