    Personally, I'd stick with a monitor to just be safe on the points of having better latency and what not.
  2. GabeThePCHelper
    As its a laptop, all you'll be able to upgrade is the RAM and SSD. https://www.crucial.com/usa/en/compatible-upgrade-for/Acer/aspire-a515-51g

    https://www.newegg.com/black-phanteks-enthoo-pro-atx-full-tower/p/N82E16811854003?Description=ssi eeb case&cm_re=ssi_eeb_case-_-11-854-003-_-Product This has 6 3.5 inch bays, 7 2.5 inch bays, and 3 5.25 inch bays, also can fit SSI EEB boards, and it's decently priced as well.
  4. GabeThePCHelper
    SSI EEB is a motherboard form factor. This will surely take some digging to find. I modded an large ATX case the Deepcool Matrexx 55 to fit a large board.
  5. GabeThePCHelper
    I agree with @5x5 Look for something a little newer like the i5 8400 used, the i3 8100 is an awesome chip imo.
  6. GabeThePCHelper
    Now that you say that, it possibly could be your microphone, not your motherboard, what's interesting is how it works for any other motherboard but not your own.
  7. GabeThePCHelper
    My mistake, whoops. I meant to say that to avoid a lot of these bios updating problems for the new 3rd gen you need to use a x570 board.
  8. GabeThePCHelper
    Truth to that. Even sometimes their 'better' quality stuff fails, I bought a 750w 80+ Gold PSU and it just up and failed about a day after finally getting it working.
  9. GabeThePCHelper
    Do what @fasauceomerecommended, ancient bios for a modern chip just doesn't work out.
  10. GabeThePCHelper
    Use your old CPU to update the bios. This is only really happening because of the new Ryzen CPU's requiring that you're running x570.
  11. GabeThePCHelper
    Little I can offer here, but it just sounds like you have some junk USB ports. Buying used motherboards can always have hidden problems that the seller didn't tell you about.
  12. GabeThePCHelper
    jeez... Why are these things even being sold, that thing would just go poof and you've destroyed your entire build. I recommend at least 450w+ and maybe 80+ Bronze at the minimum and stay away from brand names you don't recognize.
  13. GabeThePCHelper
    Theres little to no chance that you'll get removed/scrubbed from the internet like @jstudrawasaid. Sadly that's just how the internet works, once it's out there it's pretty much permanent.

    LTT Official, first thread there.

    70C is acceptable for running benchmarks, what are your temps when you're just gaming? Idle temp is high, I'd adjust your fans to have a harsher curve.
