I bought a used SST-ST1500 PSU from some idiot on kijiji for $100 (so I should have known something was wrong), and when I got it home, I plugged it into my board and it's just making a constant clicking sound, and the red LED on the back is flashing but it's going so fast you can barely see it light up. Nothing has helped. I've tried unplugging everything and just trying to plug in the PSU, but I get the same result. When I unplug the PSU from the wall, the clicking slows down over a couple minutes until it stops. Does this sound like a voltage regulator or relay? Does anyone know if this can be repaired, or is it just trash? I'd prefer to use it if possible. It looks like it was hardly ever used, if at all.

RX 480 from AliExpress (2 heat pipes only)
FivePointOh replied to Crocodil's topic in Graphics Cards
If the MSI RX570 Armor Mk1 cooler will fit it, I can send mine to you for free. Just let me know if you want it, and I can send it via COD so you just pay the shipping when you pick it up. -
Need help with modding Nitro+ 5700 XT vbios/drivers

Nobody can help? It seems like Sapphire isn't going to bother fixing the issue... Is there a better forum I could ask about modding the vbios? -

same. -
I recently purchased a Nitro+ 5700 XT, but I've noticed that both the memory VRM temp sensors aren't working (see pic). I emailed Sapphire about this a few weeks ago and they verified that they in fact aren't working even on their own test bench, but when I asked when it would be fixed, they kind of shrugged it off and made it seem like they probably wouldn't bother fixing it. They did say it was an issue with the driver though, so I'm wondering if there's any way someone out there could get the sensors working for these cards? I'm sure I'm not the only one whose mem VRM temp sensors aren't working, but I don't see that anyone else has noticed or said anything about it. But it would REALLY be nice to get these working, so if anyone can assist with this then please let me know!

I think I trust a PSU that has been running fine for 10 years before I'd trust a brand new one. It's like buying a used car vs new. You buy new, and you could get a lemon. At least the used one is tested and true. That being said, I wouldn't run one thats older than 6-8 years in a brand new system. But I'd go with an old PSU that was expensive at one time vs a new budget PSU like some of Corsair's flamethrowers. (VQ?)

Do ROG Boards still have the ROG EXT port???
FivePointOh replied to FutaGrlAlicePA's topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
I also have a ROG Crosshair VII Hero and I can absolutely confirm that it has the rog ext port, you can use it to adjust voltages, clocks, and multipliers, etc. and it works with the rog front base as far as I know. It just says it works with a "compatible OC panel device". It looks like the header for an old USB 2.0. I just checked the manual. It's on page 3-23. I think I've also heard of people using the port as a spare USB 2.0 port as well. -
I just went from x58 to x470 today, but my ssd was in mbr and legacy mode. So when I tried to start my new pc up, it wouldnt work. I've changed it to gpt now, but I can't figure out how to make it work as a uefi device instead of legacy. I formatted it and reinstalled windows 10 off a uefi bootable usb drive and it still comes up as a legacy device. By the way, even in legacy mode it won't boot to windows on the ssd. It just hangs on a black screen with the AE - Legacy boot event post code and nothing happens. For some reason, my hdd DOES work as a uefi device and not legacy and boots into windows fine (albeit slow AF). I don't get it.

For all the Canuckian homies, I was just at Canadian Tire and they have a Mastercraft Temp Gun on sale for $19.99, or 80% off from the usual $99.99 price tag. Comes with a 1 year warranty.

It's kinda sad that even a higher-end audio chipset (despite it's age) like the SB X-Fi has cross-talk problems. I assume a USB headset would fix the issue for now?

EVGA 1660 AIO compatibility

If you want better cooling, you're better off spending the money on liquid metal for the stock heatsink instead. -
Cooler Master MasterCase H500 Front Radiator

Good video for the H500 case... -
I'm not on stereo mix, I don't use my speakers - I use my headset, and I shouldn't have to use push-to-talk. The sound that I hear through my speakers should not be going through the mic when I mute my receiver. I'm using the most recent official driver, as well. "What U Hear" is muted and disabled. "Listen to this device" is disabled. The problem exists on both the front panel input and the flexijack (which I set to microphone instead of line-in).

My mic is playing back everything that comes through my speakers for some reason. I can't figure it out. I have Creative X-Fi audio, built into the G1 Sniper X58. I'm starting to lose my patience with this issue. Every time I play online, everyone complains about it non stop, and I get kicked. I haven't been able to play a single full online game for 2 months. what the fk is going on here... I'm seriously about to throw this computer out the window
