  1. Bridge the PS_ON pin to ground with something conductive like a paper clip or wire and then use a multimeter to test the 12V. There's a pinout map for ATX12VO here. https://www.smps.us/atx12vo-connectors.html It's really only going to tell you if the PSU switches on and provides power though. Do you actually have an ATX12VO power supply or is it some proprietary 12V power supply?

    guys pls help my instagram got hacked this is i…

    I would recommend changing your passwords on other websites as well. Don't reuse the same password on different websites. You should also check your PC for malware.
  3. If you don't have Bitlocker then look at Veracrypt. With Veracrypt you can create encrypted folders or encrypt the entire drive. Keep in mind once you encrypt the drive if you forget the password that data is gone.
  4. Thread cleaned. Stay on topic, be excellent to each other.
  5. If you just installed windows the easiest option would be to wipe the drive and reinstall. The official website for HWMonitor is www.cpuid.com Did you download from the official website or a different website? If you downloaded it from a different website can you send me the link to the website via a private message.
  6. Front panel connectors are annoying to plug in.
  7. It's easy to forget how much random stuff EVGA has tried selling over the years. I think if you tried to do an EVGA build you'd just be missing storage (and CPU obviously). But a lot would be old obscure parts. Like this weird double monitor https://www.cnet.com/reviews/evga-interview-1700-dual-monitor-system-review/
  8. I would believe so. If you include the pre-built Corsair computers then you could have an entire Corsair setup. If you exclude the pre-built computer and only include Corsair hardware, I think you're just missing CPU, motherboard, and GPU. Corsair also owns Elgato now so that's a lot of additional streaming focused peripherals like lights, streamdeck, webcam.
  9. The all Logitech setup > No Logitech PC > No Logitech monitor My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined. In keeping with the "the all X setup" video theme you should do a "the all Seasonic setup" joke shorts video with just a power supply and paperclip bridging the 24pin connector to turn it on. 10/10 setup.
  10. Change your password. Use a unique password that you have not used on other websites. Enable two factor authentication. There are free apps for your phone that will provide 2FA such as Authy and Google Authenticator. Check your recovery options in account settings to ensure that an attacker hasn't enabled a recovery method that would allow them access to the account after you change your password (such as changing your secret question or setting up another email as recovery email) Ensure that your PC is free from spyware and viruses. If your computer is infected it could be sending passwords or login tokens to attackers allowing them access. If you have used the same password you used for your Yahoo account on any other websites then you should change the passwords on those other websites as well. Attackers will attempt to use your email & password on other websites as well. Use unique passwords for each website. Enable 2FA on websites which provide it.
  11. Probably, but I would still recommend migrating to a different email provider.
  12. Looks like there should be enough clearance for the RAM. If there really isn't enough room then do as Hinjima suggested and rotate the cooler so the tubes are on the other side.
  13. Probably won't be any way to know if the other parts are fine until you try with a new PSU. What's the model of the replacement PSU you got that failed after 2 weeks? If not sure what the model is post a pic of the label on the PSU.
  14. I usually put corn, peas, carrot, and broccoli in to a pot of water and boil it. Another pot I'll do potatoes and mash them. Serve that with your meat. I also stir fry veggies like carrot, broccoli, capsicum, snow peas, pak choi if I have it. Bit of oil in a small wok/frying pan so it doesn't stick and then add the veggies. Add whatever takes the longest to cook first (typically carrots and broccoli) then add the other stuff. Keep stirring so the vegetables don't burn to the bottom of the wok. When the veggies start to soften add a splash of soy sauce. I also like adding a bit of chili sauce for extra flavour. You can also buy flavoured stir fry sauces from the supermarket. Can serve it with rice or noodles. I hate waiting for rice to cook so I usually buy pre-made hokkien noodles that you just need to heat in boiling water for a minute or two. You can also get rice noodles or even just use ramen noodles if you prefer. Really you just gotta find which vegetables you like. Don't like broccoli? Don't add it. Experiment with different stuff. I'd normally only add seasoning (salt/spices) to vegetables when roasting them.
  15. Will also add GOG.com to this list. Good if you're looking for older games but also has some newer games as well.
  16. Make a new post in New Builds & Planning section for advice on what parts for a new build. Probably better off selling the Lenovo PC as a complete PC and starting fresh. You probably won't find many motherboards for 10th gen processors these days unless you're buying used.
  17. It seems some error has caused the attachments to be linked to the wrong posts. Did you attempt to submit the post before closing the browser? It doesn't show any attached files below the text box when you edit this post? When I edit your post the images are not inserted in to the text box but are included as attachments on your post.
  18. Your power supply only has 12V output. No 5V, 3.3V, or 5VSB that a normal ATX motherboard uses. Your motherboard is definitely not standard ATX. There might be some adapters you can find that convert a standard ATX power supply to work with the motherboard. What model Lenovo PC is it? If you search the model name + ATX PSU Adapter in places like ebay you might find somebody selling adapters. What are the system specs? What are you upgrading? By the time you swap out the power supply, motherboard, case, and I'm guessing graphics card since you need a PSU upgrade you're basically just building a new PC. If it's an older CPU you might be better off just building a full new PC rather than investing money in to upgrading the old one.
  19. If you don't care about not having an igpu then I'd just keep it. Though, you should definitely test it while it's still within the return period. I'm not sure how common it is these days but there was a scam where people were delidding high end CPUs and swapping the IHS from the high end CPU on to a much cheaper CPU and returning the cheap CPU as the expensive one. Just because the IHS says 14900KF doesn't mean it actually is one. If the motherboard BIOS shows it as 14900KF then you're good.

  21. Either. They're both good enough to the point where it doesn't really matter. Main consideration between those two would be usability. The RMx Shift has its cables on the side of the power supply which may have issues with compatibility with some cases, or may be a desired feature if looking to hide cables.
  22. That's a really odd problem. Are you sure it's related to the graphics card? What are you doing with the PC while it's running for several days? Are you putting it to sleep or hibernation, or is the PC left on and running the entire time? Is the game you're playing left running the entire time? Any reason why you can't just restart the PC once every few days?
  23. Mr Beast should do a video where instead of buying everything in somebody's cart at a store, he allows them to watch YouTube for 10 minutes and buys them everything that gets advertised to them in that time. All forms of advertisement included: YouTube video ads, banner ads, pop ups over videos, in video sponsored ads by the creators, product placement in videos, donations /subscriptions to creators who beg for donations or advertise patreons, etc.

    Just buy absolutely everything that gets advertised to you on YouTube just to see how much it would actually cost. 

     

    It'll be interesting to see which channels and videos people watch trying to maximise what they get. What would you pick?

      So my YouTube is messed up and I would get firearms and military surplus.

      years of blocking targeted ads would not serve me well here

  24. The sponsor is Jawa.gg But you'll get a much better deal selling the graphics card yourself and shopping around for a good deal on a new card. You could save hundreds by selling it yourself depending on what card you have.
