Well i went to my local part store and an HX from corsair, all good now. Thanks for your time.

It has a fan, "Silent" is just for marketing designation. I'm buyin from LDLC which the biggest PC part reseller in France and Amazon. What's the problem with the AX lineup ? What brand/lineup should i buy instead (doesn't have to be 1200w, too much for a single GPU build)

Okay so I'm building a new WFH/gaming rig with a ryzen 5900x with new x570 taichi board and g.skill RAM. I'm keeping my 2080ti and my storage (couple of SSDs, couple of HDDs) and i'm ditching my i7 2600k (OC@4.7GHz for years). My PSU is a Cooler Master Silent Pro Gold 1200W that i bought back in 2012 for a tri-SLI of GTX 680 and i never had problem with it except that it was everything but silent. The 5 years warranty is long gone The advisor at my local pc part store told me that maybe i should consider stretching my budget to buy a new one like the AX1000 from corsair.Did he try to upsell me ? My question: Should I change my PSU or are there any risks keeping my old PSU for my new rig? Thanks for reading

yeah i tried it, didn't changed a thing. I even changed the PSU, just in case, i was wrong again... I thought about that too since my old MB is a Maximus 4 formula, but i read comments about how poorly the VRM is built on the last iteration, and wanted to give a try to. Maybe it's time to take back old habits

Hello there ! First post on this forum, i'll try to make it quick ! I recently decided to upgrade my old rig so i went and bought: i9 9900k + 2080 from aorus + 4x8Go 3600 CAS 16 from Ballistix (here is the reference: BLE4K8G4D36BEEAK) + 1To mp510 from Corsair, running on a z390 Aorus master. My point is: did i make something wrong in my choosing ? I mean compatibility wise. Did i pick up components that are not supposed to work with eachother ? Why am I asking this you say? Because when I assembled those pieces together, they worked fined for maybe 40min then the PC froze. Since then it won't post. The MB gets stuck on weird error codes like D4 (04 ?) or 71 which are respectively referenced as "reserved" and "PCH SMM initialisation" (wtf is that ?! even the tech guy from gigabyte couldn't tell me what it is). Of course i tried to reset, Clear CMOS, use back up bios etc it's always the same. The only thing that creates a different outcome is when i boot with no RAM installed, in which case i can hear the continuous beeps. Anyway, I called tech support, they provided me with a brand motherboard, but nothing changed. Same error code, so as im writing those lines, my CPU and RAM aer getting replaced, but i can't but wonder.... Did i do something wrong or is it just my karma that's really really bad ? PS: do you guys know something about code 71 on aorus card ? i've been loonking for answer but couldn't find a hint. Such a shame i read so many good comments on this MB Since it's my first post and english is not my first language, i'm sorry if my writing is tough to go through. Thx for reading !
