  1. Hi! I just rebuilt my computer, and suddenly, when I got back home, the power LED won't turn on, and the computer doesn't start. When I hit the button, the PSU fan does one spin, and the rgb ram illuminates, but that's it. No fan spin. What's the likely culprit? The motherboard? The PSU? The latter is a few years old Corsair 600w sfx model. Ryzen 5 5600 Gigabyte A520I ac RTX 3060 inno3d Thank you!
  2. Heya, getting back into it after a bit. I have a 4th gen processor on LGA1150. I want to switch to a new Ryzen CPU, probably the 5600. Could I transfer my old cooler? Also, while I'm at it, what ITX motherboard you would recommend (cheapest, I don't care about special features) that would still support the 5600 without a bios flash? Thank you!
  3. Hey! This is not my first PC, but first time with this issue. The computer I'm building now has a Ryzen 5 5600G (no GPU until prices come down). The motherboard is an Asus b550m-k. After building everything, the fans spin but I can't enter the bios. (No display output). The motherboard outputs only power. I confused all the graphs and charts and compatibility lists, and it turns out, as far as my understanding goes, that I need a bios update for this mobo+CPU combo to work, but unfortunately, I don't have an older CPU to do the update with. The motherboard also doesn't have an update bios button. Is there any alternative way to update the bios? I would hate to throw away a perfectly good mobo just for that.
  4. I'm honestly very glad to see how amazing this forum is. If you checked on Reddit, the same topic became a political butt storm. Either way, I guess what non Israelis don't get is that this is as close as we get to celebrities ever...
  5. If you are willing to build your own, definitely not. You can do better than the i3 for that price for sure, depending on availability
  6. It'll probably hold, but don't worry about it. SLI is as good as dead.
  7. The cheaper one. You really don't need anything fancy for an HTPC, or for most common use cases, actually...
  8. You shouldn't buy an external SSD either. You should just have two HDDs in raid 1 in your existing PC, and that's it. Linus has a pretty good video on what it means. Honestly though, cloud backup is pretty good and convenient, if you don't feel like the hassle
  9. Maybe the issue is the size of the laptop? We own an hp x360 15", and even with my giant hands my wrists still rest on the metal, nowhere near the edge.
  10. What do you mean? that cable management is fantastic. Maybe I'd take off a few points because that SSD isn't double-sided taped to anything. Otherwise, immaculate.
  11. Maybe things changed when I wasn't hardcore into PC's for the past two years, but in 2018 the consensus was that the motherboard really doesn't impact performance, and you only needed fancy VRMs if you really cared about overclocking or had a very high end system. I'd love to be corrected though.
  12. This is nice! GTX980Ti, unreasonably strong PSU, early age AIO water cooling. I think a fun practice would be to take everything out, clean it (ofc) and reassemble it nicely. Maybe even get a new case if you are feeling like it.
  13. Hmm. It's a bit problematic to buy a computer that will have Photoshop and games with only 500 gigs of storage. NVMe isn't that necessary, Switch to a more generic 2.5'' SSD with 1 TB (could be like 10-$20 more, but definitely worth it.) Kill the fans, and maybe get a cheaper mother board (they don't really impact performance that much). I think that with that you can fit a 3070 in your budget, which is a way better value than the 5700.
  14. How complicated do you want it to be? What's the design part of the system? From what I gather, you are just building a PC. Are you designing your own case? Maybe you can help me figure out what you are looking for.
