Haha sorry English wasn't my first language! But thank you I will try that!

So my Mobo caught on fire a little while back, and i accidentally left the back bracket for the Hyper 212 rgb on it, i tried on several occasions to call the best buy and see if they could hold it for me, unfortunately the best buy is a bit far away from me, and i worked all week AND they would NEVER answer their phone i spent a good hour every day on hold. So with that, where do i find a similar AM4 bracket to replace it? I dont know necessarily what to look for! thanks for the help in advance

i honestly could not sleep until i knew some parts still worked, so i had to set up my old pc again

UPDATE! my GPU is fine, and so is my ssd and hardrive, i have no way of knowing about the CPU since my old model only supports am3. BUT i want to say its okay?

Everything else from the build is brand spanking new, and i "thought" the PSU was as well, but yeah you are absolutely right, lesson learned the hard way

i was under the impression it was new but here we are.

@Bitter @Mister Woof @Lorant Okay yeah i just checked the case comes with its own "nipple?" stands

thats how the previous one was on... im assuming this is a big no no?

yeah i am 90% that the PSU is what failed me, im no even gonna re try it, im just gonna get a new one

my pc/case didnt come with standoffs

Got it replaced thank you!

i was just asking haha but im just panicky as well. and I will thank you for the help! it does put me a bit at ease

yeah also my fault for trusting easily live and learn

i will, i see that im still within the 15 days window should i attempt getting the same model?

so you think it destroyed my whole build :,(

also too afraid to even turn it back on, it wasnt a big fire, it was nearby where the sockets for the ssd drive are, one of the little squares

This is the one unfortunately i think i might have been lied to about it being new if anything

@Lorantdo i tell them it caught fire? im afraid they wont refund if i do, ive never had this happen

This community has been nothing but helpful, and after getting all my PC components the worst happens. I put everything together, following alongside a video just to be extra cautious i do everything right. my specs are: Msi b450 tomahawk. ryzen 5 2600. 750w corsair power supply. and 2 ddr4 8gb from corsair. AND MY MOTHERBOARD CATCHES FIRE???? i built it last night, and it gave me a flicker and what I thought was rgb, this morning I found out it was a small fire, so when i tried again with all the components off, just the motherboard and the power supply, it lit up again but with a small fire to the side. I got the motherboard from Best buy, and i got the power supply from a friend brand new. Did i do something wrong? i got the motherboard less than 2 weeks ago, but i didnt apply the insurance, is it too late to return it? can i even return it? and are the rest of my components doomed too since i did initially started the whole thing already assembled? Im really upset about all this

I'm just gonna take the leap and use it as is, i got it from a trusted source so I will put my faith on the PSU

is there a way to find out beforehand if its gonna be crap? i would test it on my older system but the only problem is i cant seem to hook it to my biostar ta970

Gotcha If i dont have to spend the money for a new PSU that would be dope but I also dont want to kill my build by trying to cheap out haha

its this model

So I am in the middle of re building my PC after realizing my old build is "extremely" out of date haha I attained this Corsair TX750W from a customer from work for $20, its in okay condition just a lil dust otherwise i was told it was never really used. I just recently remembered that I even owned it. Is the PSU any good? I have an MSI b450 tomahawk and have for the GPU a Geforce GTX980.

Thanks Bitter! I'd figured as much haha
