Hey, i just re-installed everything. I installed the motherboard using the standoffs(i used all the standoff holes i can use on the case, the others were not covered by the mobo), used a hair dryer to clean-up. The thing is, i tried really hard to layer the screwholes in gpu to the screwholes in the case. Only one hole matched when i forced the gpu a little bit up. So i screwed it. But the problem is, the back of the gpu left open. I cant screw it because the screwhole is too loose, and cant snap it into place. Can i use it like that ? Will it cause me any trouble ? Photo of it is in the attachment... Second is, i used plastic-like wire- string stuff i found in one of the components package to do cable managament.(it wasnt given to use for cable management) will this plastic cause a trouble any static-elektrik type of sh*t because im tired of thinking about it. Photos of the string-wires are in the attachments. Third is, the sound is still there and as i can hear its coming from cpu or something near that. As u said, ill just ignore it as long as i dont see a performance problem. Edit: i also attached how the gpu screws look now.Its the last picture.

Hey, i already watched the video and its not coil whine i think. because the sound isnt continuous, it happens just after the pc shuts down and fans slow down.Its continues like 1-2 seconds. Im on my way, i'll build the pc again with the other standoffs i didnt use and try to unplug case fan to see if the sound is coming from it.Thanks for your help ! ill keep updated.

thanks for the reply, so i should use the screwholes that the case already had, not the ones i drilled for the gpu ? and as i can understand from what u said, motherboard being too close to case doesnt short the motherboard at first. so if i fix the standoffs and make the mb higher, it might be fine ? i'll use the extra standoffs and install again.I'll try to remove the case fan and boot to rule out the possibility the sound coming from it But if the sound keeps coming, should i send the motherboard to warranty ? Im sure its not the psu or hdd. Another question, if i keep using the motherboard and not care, if motherboard fails because of the capacitor, would it hurt other components ? Lastly.Gpu kept moving in the pciex slot shile i was screwing to the holes i drilled. Can this hurt motherboard. I feel like i messed the whole pc up before even build up to be a pc... Thank you.

Hey, there aint no dust since i just built the pc yesterday. I didnt put any more standoffs, but since i know the existing standoffs are not enough, i definitely will. The temp is like 39 when first booted.Then it goes up and up until 47. I dont know people say that its normal to be a little hotter in bios.The case only has one fan so it might be it. My main cause of concern is the dust from drilling might have hurt the motherboars or anything else. Or i couldnt install the gpu properly and thats the reason the screwholes in the case didnt fit the ones on the gpu. Any way i can know for sure ?

Hi, Its gonna be a long one... I bought all the components for my new pc and tried to install it all(first time). I kinda messed up. I did it watching some tutorials. Pc boots up fine and i can see bios, i didn't get past bios since i didn't install an OS yet. Components are: Asrock b450m Hdv r4.0 Be quiet system power 9 500w Ryzen 2600 Patriot Viper Steel 2x8gb 3000mhz ram Seagate Barracuda 1tb sata3 hdd Zalman T5 matx case gigabyte windforce rx460 4gb gpu(i already had this one) I think i did mainly 3 things wrong: 1-I installed cpu to mb with no issues(i had some thermal paste in my hand but not much, most of it was still on the cpu cooler so i just installed it.I also had some trouble installing rams, i couldn't find which way the rams should look, and it didnt fit in since only one side had the latches, i forced it a lot and it ended up fine, i think. Than when it came to install the motherboard to case i didn't know that i should have had standoffs, i just installed it right away. Luckily the case had some installed, but apparently not enough. I checked a review and it said it had only enough standoffs for a mini-itx mb and my mb is mAtx. Apparently they give you the additional standoffs for mAtx separately and i didnt use them. As far as i can check, i think the existing standoffs keep it higher but im not sure since i didnt remove it from the case. But when i read online, everyone says it can short the motherboard( it sounds bad even tho i dont know what it means) and now im freaking out. 2- After im done with PSU installation, I installed the gpu in the pciex slot. I think gpu is installed fine in the pciex slot. But gpu screw holes didn't line up with the case even though it was fit in the Pciex port. I tried everything and no luck. So I opened two holes in the case that fits the screwholes in the case and layered it.I DID IT WHILE THE ALL COMPONENTS WERE STILL IN THE CASE. As I read, dust coming out when you open holes is another cause for motherboard to short. 3- I didn't know these two were big problems yesterday so I booted up the pc. Everything seems fine, I enabled XMP profile, Cpu seems like its running hot(47 degrees)I think but not that much. Except for one thing, when i shut down the pc from the power button, it shuts down, you hear fans stopping etc. then 1 second after shut down i hear a sizzling- almost whining but kind of electric sound coming from the case for like 1 second and it stops. Happened all the times i shut down. I thought it was the psu but i listened with open case and it's coming from the middle of the case. Case fan, cpu fan or motherboard. Definitely not from the hdd. I'm really freaked out. I feel like I spend 500 dollars for this mess. What should I do now ? I'm going to remove the motherboard and install it with other standoffs when i come back from the work. What should i do about the gpu ? Should i keep it the way it is or try installing it again with proper holes in the motherboard ? Gpu moved from its way when i screwed it to the holes i opened so im kind of nervous about it too but it seems working, fans etc. How can i know there is a short in the motherboard ? Might a short in the motherboard hurt other components too ? Photos of the case, gpu screws and bios screen are attached. Any help will be appreciated, thanks.
