The problem I see is how the actual packages get treated at entry to the UK, as this would require creating diffrent invoices just for shipping. I won't pretend I know how the customs system works exactly, but I would assume that UK customs should have a system that can cross reference the packages coming in, with the "pre-paid tax" items logged with HMRC (at least that's how I imagine it should work), so if HMRC has 3 "pre-paid tax" logged packages coming in, but only one shows up, then there's a problem... it sounds like a very grey area with a ton of potential paperwork to deal with. It's one of those cases where Linus probably should've kept his mouth shut during WAN show, not say what they want to do and just leave dealing with it to the people in logistics. From a purely administrative perspective it would make more sense to either not combine orders outside Canada/US or limit the deals to just Canada/US.

Ok, at this point you can double check all of the power connections both on the power supply and the motherboard. You can also try disconnecting all the power cables from the power supply itself (leave the main power in connected), then flip the switch on the power supply, if you hear any clicking from the power supply itself with everything disconnected then it has a fault and needs to be replaced. If you don't hear anything it could still be the power supply or a problem with the motherboard, either way testing it further will require replacement parts.

It looks like something might be connected wrong. Double check all of your front panel connections - power button, power LED, drive LED, reset button etc. If it's still happening, disconnect all of the front panel connectors, with the exception of the power button connector and try again. If it works fine, you can start connecting other things back and trying it, one by one. If you still have the same problem, disconnect the power button to see if the same thing still happens with none of the front panel connected. If yes, then your problem is deeper.

Aside of what Floatplanes purpose is, this would also not be possible from a technical side, if you had a free tier on floatplane, the influx of new users would most likely overwhelm their servers and bring the platform down.

More subtle damage to pins is possible, for example if they were ever bent and straightened out it's entirely possible for a partial crack to form in the pin which could cause all sorts of issues from random instability to lack of post, or no issue at all if it's a pin that isn't used. However the main reason I mentioned checking for diffrent kinds of physical issues was the fact that your problem seems to have happened randomly, relatively short after reassembleing the system (ignoring the problem on the previous MB), which just points me towards checking that everything makes good contact and is fully seated (similarly it's probably a good idea to check all power plugs). Also when you can't get into BIOS and I'm not sure what sort of spare parts or systems you might have access to, there's very little I can advise past checking the physical part of the system.

LTT had 2 videos in the last year where they played around the topic of CRTs and the prices they've run into went well into the hundreds of dollars (and even thousands for the most desirable models), so if they're working you can definetely get quite a bit out of them.

When troubleshooting it's a good idea to avoid things like mixing diffrent ram sticks, given you're on a Ryzen 1600 I would only use the 3000MHz kit. 1st gen Ryzen didn't really do well with anything above 3200MHz and even though you run it stock (by which I assume you don't use the XMP profile), it looks like you've got 2 completely diffrent kits, that's the sort of variation you don't want when troubleshooting your system. If it's an option, testing with another GPU would be a good idea. Otherwise, you could try reseating the CPU as the PCIe lanes for the top slot come directly from it also any damaged pins on your CPU could potentially be a source of problems, so check for that when it's out, another thing to look for would be damaged contacts in your PCIe slot or any damage to the PCIe connector on the graphics card.

By saying they are in good condition do you mean they are working or just look decent? Personally I'm not into CRTs so I can't give you any advice on the pricing, but due to the fact noone really manufactures them anymore and repairing them is rarely an option, working models tend to carry quite a bit of value. If they're dead then someone might be interested in them for parts, but for the most part they'd be e-waste.

As long as you stay within power limits of what the mobo can provide and what the cables can handle, you should be fine.You are correct in assuming all fans will run at the same speed (as long as they're the same make/model, if you decide to change one or more of the fans in the future and have a mix, it's possible the speeds will vary).

I wouldn't call it shitty business practices, it's not unusual for businesses to experience periodic increases in support tickets every now and again for various reasons. That said it would be nice if there was more of an indication of the current wait times and/or ticket status check page that would give at least a rough estimate of the given tickets queue position. To conclude, I just received a response, so for anyone else wondering, it seems like there is a nearly 2 week backlog.

I know this forum is not for support, but it's really not clear where else I can ask this. Would anyone be able to tell me what's the current wait time to get a response for a support request from lttstore? I understand it's extended right now, but it's not really clear how long it might take. I've sent an e-mail on the 1st of March and still had no response. There doesn't seem to be any way to find out what's happening with a support ticket either, I just got an automated response after sending the e-mail, but there's nowhere to check if it's still pending to be read by someone or if it got forgotten etc. Maybe it would be a good idea to post on the forum the current rough estimates of how long it might take so that people know when to try contacting LTTstore again.

It would've been enough. Only other things I can think of would be testing with a diffrent GPU if you had one available or testing your GPU in another PC to see if it gets any issues, but given you had the issue reappear after 2 days it might be difficult to pinpoint the problem until it's more frequent.

Try re-seating the GPU and since you cleared CMOS it's probably a good idea to go into the BIOS and set your memory back to the XMP profile.

It kinda depends how much you can actually spend on the mount and where you're based, there's not a whole lot of monitor mount brands that would have what you're asking and it also won't be cheap. The first 2 brands that come to mind that might offer something like that, would be Ergotron and Monoprice (more NA focused, harder to get in Europe, don't know about rest of the world). That said, what you want to achieve is going to be absolutely horrible for your back in the long run and I would advise against it.

It's not really super common for parts to be DOA, but it does happen. My colleague had a 2800X that turned out to be the source of stability problems on his system, the PC just occassionally crashed with no apparent reason for a whole year since he bought it, until the CPU just outright died at one point, fortunetly that was still in the warranty period, but annoying nevertheless. I personally always had a lot of luck with my PC parts, the only thing I ever received DOA was a HDD for my NAS and the issue with that was pretty obvious right after I heard clicking when it started up. It's really difficult to guess what's more likely in your case, a bad memory controller on the CPU is just as likely as something wrong on the mobo. If you have a way of cross checking your parts in another system then wait with doing RMAs and sending stuff around, might save you a lot of hassle. It might also be a good idea to check with the retailer you bought the parts from if they have any sensible warranty policy on their side, if the parts are new it's sometimes faster and cheaper to deal with the retailer you bought from than doing RMAs with the manufacturer.

I'd suspect either a faulty board or CPU at this point (as long as you're sure the BIOS Flashback has completed successfully), it's quite unlikely you have 4 bad RAM sticks. The fact the RAM is not on the QVL list means the manufacturer has not verified those particular RAM modules to work with the board at the advertised speeds, however in most cases the RAM would still work fine at stock DDR4 speeds and typically would also work without issues at the advertised speeds, although it might require manual setup instead of using the XMP/DOCP profiles. Ryzen 3000 is a lot less picky with memory than the previous Ryzen generations so I wouldn't suspect lack of compatibility. On a sidenote your thermal paste coverage doesn't look great.

In theory the CPU has thermal protection and will shut down the system if it overheats, however those temps are quite high and I would expect better temps on the CPU with that cooler even in a fairly airflow restricted case. It looks like it could be a problem with mounting pressure or thermal paste coverage, I'd check that first.

Glad I could be of help.

18$ is actually not a whole lot for 2 fans, a lot of quality fans cost that much per piece. With regards to your question, I'd say it really depends if those fans will actually make any diffrence to your system. Sure the "cool" factor of populating 2 more slots with RGB fans is one thing, but there are scenarios where overdoing the fan situation and not thinking about the airflow can impact the temperatures in your case (for better or worse) or can make the system louder.

Just at first glance that doesn't sound like a drive issue, more like a PSU or MB problem. Did you try to see what happens if you disconnect the drive? Technically you should be able to get into the BIOS even if you don't have any drives connected. If you disconnect the drive and the same system behavoiur persists, then the drive is not the issue. If disconnecting the drive fixes the problem then you could try connecting a diffrent SATA power cable to it if you have another available. You said it's an old system and you removed that drive from it, I'm assuming it might have stood unused for a while, you can try re-seating all the power cables and just generally checking if anything became loose and might be causing the issue you're having. Bad connections are probably the most common cause of random system behaviour.

A decent 850W PSU should be fine with those parts unless you plan on heavy overclocking.

It's weird how the passing of someone who I've known only from a few videos makes me tear up, it's a testament to how special Tyler was and how well he managed to pass it on camera in those few videos.

It just sounds like a post sequence, what happens during post varies between different motherboard models, so it's normal that 2 PCs with different mobos might have a completely different sequence. I wouldn't worry about it as long as your PC works ok.

It's just build up of static, if your wall outlet was grounded, the static would disperse. That's a very shady wall socket by the way.

The double tick is a "feature" of whatsapp, there's no way to go around it. Only thing I can advise is if you don't want people knowing that you read a message, the ticks don't turn green until you actually open the message in whatsapp, so you can for example read a message in the notification bar on your phone and that won't mark it as read.
