I wouldn't use anything other than PSU cable for PSU just to be safe.

OC the CPU.

It's probably arcing. Try to move the plug that goes into the PSU and see if it stops.

Are the problems fully gone? If not then it's just selective perception. Also those RPM's look pretty slow for a CPU fan. I haven't seen any fan inside a case running at 200 rpm. Regarding the culprit, and I see R5 3600 in your signature, it's most likely just a faulty CPU you should have RMA'd.

Why are you suggesting that he give in to ransom? Do you have any guarantees that he will get his files after payment sent and that they won't ask for another $2k or something? To OP: You've been silly. Now you're paying for it. Unless there is a way to crack whatever extension that is, you have no way to get your files back. Also if you had such important files you shouldn't have been downloading random crack games in the first place, or taken a backup at least.

I get this flash from a window towards the top left side of the monitor opening and immediately closing. But it happens so fast, probably within a hundreth of a second and it disappears. How can I detect what that is?

Then I will adjust the lowest voltage high enough to still be able to spin the fans even if at very low RPM.

Yes but more frequently. And as I said sometimes it will get more than enough power for RGB, and not enough to spin the fans. Which would cause some heat maybe? Because that power has to go somewhere.

Some PSU's (For example mine) have double ball bearing fan. I don't think such fans are meant to be serviced.

Fans are 3 pin, and I connected them to the mobo. I configured the fan voltage to change based on temps (duh). When its cool, voltage drops to a point where fans stop but RGB stays on, if it gets cooler, RGB turns off. I can even see RGB going dim step by step as mobo reduces the power to it. Would this constant change harm the fans in any way? Constantly switching power, and also sometimes it gets enough power to light the RGB, but not enough to turn the fans on.

I just don't see an ethernet port randomly dying. Very unlikely. Blow some air into it. Or check if you disabled it one way or the other.

I don't think with any decent water cooler properly set up you'd see even close to 65c when idle.

A few minutes at 95c shouldn't cause any significant damage. We hit 200C when we reflow cards anyway. And they still work afterwards. Limit the FPS though. No reason for GPU to hit 95 with CS-GO.

Sounds like faulty PSU.

It's the CPU. Also try static overclock at low voltage and comparable clocks to see if it will still happen.

Do it on a desk and not on your cardboard box. You can still put something thin underneath the board.

Most likely you're not pushing it in hard enough.

Static overclocking like 1.2v all core and on multi core workloads sometimes Ryzen processors want less voltage than this. So lets say cores wanted 1.1v, would 1.2v be harmful or beneficial to the performance?

Fan speed etc. doesn't matter. I am just asking if there is any danger. Or in general, can you plug the fans wrong in any way and burn something? (Even though they are like legos, you can't go too weird)

That's kind of like saying "Is Earth done for?" after a few earthquakes.

Thanks guys. I'll experiment with it. If it helps with the temps, it's gonna be part of the team

Aren't you just enabling XMP?

My stock AMD CPU cooler was doing a crap job in this summer heat so I bought a tower aircooler based on recommendation here. My question is is the fan on AMD cooler usable as a case fan? Can I just connect it to another fan header on the mobo? I know fans are cheap and stuff and I wanna do it just for the heck of it.

Does the box include thermal paste?

My old Ryzen 5 3600 is getting up to 95C on stock cooler. I am not even overclocking. Voltage is just 1.2 and locked clocks at 4ghz. Case is clean and gets airflow. Any budget (Preferably Noctua) fan that is quite a bit better than stock? It's not worth to buy if it's only slightly better.
