No it probably doesnt have a sticker, and i want to know its gonna run at least 200GE. You dont need a sticker for that but it wont run on release bios either.

Hello, how does one check the bios version on a brand new Gigabyte B450 Aorus M motherboard without running it ? Thanks.

Hello, Long story short the internal USB 3.0 header has broken vbus pins. I want those 3.0 ports to work so im thinking about splicing an external 5V line directly from the psu, bypassing the motherboard. I did some measurements so i know the pins are also supposed to be powered in standy, i dont care about that much. I just want it to work with the pc on. Basically i just want to make sure there isnt something weird going on with the usb protocol or something. From what i measured, feeding it strait 5V from the psu should work. Note: its vanilla 3.0 from 2014, so no "by 2" or typeC nonsense. Thanks.

Hi, considering i already have all the hw (mb, psu, ect), what should i go for ? Option1: PC1: 4790K + 980ti, PC2: FX-8370 + 970, sell the 2nd 970. Option2: PC1: 4790K + 2x 970 in sli, PC2: FX-8370 + 980ti thanks.

Hi, ive got a Dell Precision T5810 motherboard, anyone got the 28-pin frontpanel diagram ? I just need the power switch, cant turn it on. Thanks.

Upgrade is beside the point. It crashes both with w10 and memtest usbs. However trying to run w10 yielded one usefull infromation: kernel security check failure. Makes sence, read that in can be caused by ram issues, i probably fcked the slot last time i yanked the stick out sideways. Its just odd it didnt happen right away. Oh well... Its christmas soon anyway.

Ill try it tomorrow but it doesnt really solve the problem.

Hello, I have a problem with my old system, two days ago windows 7 stopped working, it would just hang on the 'starting windows screen'. Thing is i tried repairing/reinstalling using a known-good usb stick and it wont let me, it hangs in exactly the same way. The screen is stuck on starting windows, the mouse backlight goes dark, the numlock light turns off. Now at this point im thinking it might be hw related ? Any advice ? Thanks. system specs: gigabyte H55M S2H, i3 530, 8GB ddr3, gtx 970, W7 x64 HP i can try replacing ram and gpu right away, cpu in 2 weeks.

Bent / broken cpu pins, scematic says 'DMI to PCH input / output. There are 8 pins total, half of them are gone, i just dont have time to test it right now.

Hello, wiki wasnt very helpful, i have this board, can you tell me what exactly does the PCH control on this borad ? What im gonna lose if its broken ? Thanks.

Im not that worried about the 2700x being used or the shorter warranty, i dont expect any of them to go bad, procesors rarelly do. So is the 3600 performance worth 40€ / 25% extra cost ?

Hi, help me decide which of these two shoud i buy. Its purely for gaming, no streaming no nothing. 1) brand-new R5 3600 with 3 year warranty = 190€ 2) used R7 2700X still with 18 month warranty = 150€ Thanks

Ok problem solved, updating the board bios helped. But ist still interesting that msi worked and gigabyte didnt.

Hello i have an interesting problem here. I have three Gigabyte 980ti G1 Gaming cards and one MSI 980ti Gaming card. Individualy they all work perfect in my test rig, in both pcie slots. But if i put any two of those gigabytes in at the same time the system wont recognize them at all. And i mean at all. The video output switches to onborad intel, the device manager doesnt see them, nvidia drivers wont see them, its as if i had nothing pluged in at all. Funnily enough, and this baffles me the most, i tried putting that msi card in slot one and left one of the gigabytes in the second slot and guess what everything just works. Ill get sli, everything. Full specs of the system: Asrock Z97 extreme 4 (only board i have right now with sli), i7-4790k, 16gb kingston ddr3, 1000w psu

Back of the board looks fine, im thinking the leg was partially ripped from the cap itself when it was bent ? And i still want to know what it is actually for ?
