  1. I hope a simple tilt is enough. My pc weighs like 75 lbs.
  2. Should I turn the PC off to do that? I imagine I'm supposed to tilt the pump down and the radiator up. Do you think air being trapped in the pump would also explain the buzzing being a droning on and off sound? I can't imagine why it sounds like that.
  3. I posted about this on reddit but no one ever responded, so I'm hoping someone here might have advice. My aio liquid cooler has been buzzing ever since I sat my computer on its side to replace the cpu. Hwmonitor says the pump is running at normal rpm and temperatures seem normal enough. Video links on google drive and further details on in the reddit post.
  4. I checked that already to see if shipping shenanigans are common and the money back guarantee covers that. It explains that all shipping costs are included in the refund, so that wouldn't be an obvious scam indicator.
  5. I don't see how the shipping cost is a red flag. It's weird but they're still charging a high price. The seller also has a good reputation as well, which is the biggest reason I think it may be real. I am just going to wait the full shipping duration cause there's always ebay's money back guarantee. If thwy send me junk, I'll get my refund.
  6. Most of the cost is in shipping. I'd be stupid to think it was legit if the full cost was only $99.
  7. Seems too good to be true, I know, but with the circumstances there were enough indicators to suggest it COULD be real (and I already bought it so we'll see). I determined it was worth the risk given the seller's small but good reputation and the fact China is cracking down on crypto currency mining. So it's reasonable to think it could be a miner getting rid of a card. But then there's all of this weirdness. They had another less powerful card with a similiar pricing scheme, except they had it as $11,000 for shipping. The rest of their listings were shorts...like the clothing. And not too long after I bought the card the listing closed despite supposedly having more cards. I don't have a way though to tell whether or not the listing was closed by the seller or got flagged as a scam like all those cheap phillipines gpu listings they say they're removed when you click them. And actually, looking again there are now several more similar listings from other hong kong users. Anyway, last thing is the guy I bought from also closed ALL of their other listings as well. I really don't know what to think. They're certainly a weirdo if not a scammer.
  8. Well I figured it out on my own. Turns out it wasn't a compatibility thing at all. The problem was actually staring at me in my post. applying a full xmp overclock to 4 high capacity ram sticks. Evidently NO cpus in the world can handle this.
  9. So I'm not sure if this should go here or in troubleshooting, but I'm hoping someone can give me some better insight into how to overclock ram to its advertised speeds. I figured it would be as simple as enabling the xmp profile in bios, but after waking up this morning to a pc that would appear to boot and have no debug lights on but have no power going to any of my peripherals, and after having to clear the cmos, it seems that it is more complicated than that, or part of my hardware is a dud, idk. I read a brief mentioning online about memory training failure, and I want to think this has something to do with that but I really don't know. So ultimately my questions boil down to wanting to understand what could cause a ram overclock to prevent the pc from booting so that I know either how to properly overclock the ram manually or purchase a more compatible ram set. In this case I'm using an msi x570 gaming pro carbon wifi mobo, a Ryzen 7 3700x cpu, and 4 sticks of G.Skill Ripjaw V Series 16 gb 3600 Mhz ram. I can't view the finer details of the order I made for the ram to see what model it is exactly, but it is a red colored older model and I THINK the specs are CAS Latency 19, Timing 19-20-20-40. My concern is specifically about what can cause it to not boot, because it worked fine last night while the pc had already been running for a while, almost like it worked just because it was warmed up or freshly applied or something. It was only after 7 hours of being off that it decided not to boot anymore. It works fine now that the bios was reset and removed the overclock.
  10. I was running cinebench and heaven last night with no issues. It's only giving me grief now after it's been off overnight just to boot up.
  11. If there's one thing I know for sure, it's that the overclocking I was doing was WELL within limits of what my hardware is capable of.
  12. Alright, so I jumped the jbat1 with a screwdriver, and that fixed it. So now this begs the question, what component would be mostly likely to be causing this from overclocking?
  13. Not sure how I should do this. Manual wants me to jump it. I'd have to use a screwdriver I think if I go that route
  14. https://drive.google.com/file/d/108w0PSej7CW58ka8qkHd_BXUfF-A1bDi/view?usp=drivesdk I did some overclocking for the first time on my PC last night, rebooted multiple times during the process to change cpu settings with mostly no issues aside from one instance where the PC did what it's doing now. Benchmarks for both cpu and gpu ran great before I shut down for the night. Next morning I wake up and try to boot my PC around 7 hours later. It turns on, cpu debug light comes on briefly then turns off as it always does, but now none of my peripherals turn on, light up, etc. Nothing. No moniter signal either. Can't get to the bios, nothing is working, and my motherboard has no debug lights on or any indication of failure. No weird sounds, no smells or smoke, but everything inside the case it lit up like normal and fans spinning like normal. Video above shows this. I tried repeating my ram and gpu, tightening down my cpu cooler which was a tad loose, unplugged the power for 10 minutes or so, no difference. I also updated my bios last night and chipset before overclocking. Specs: Msi x570 gaming pro carbon wifi Amd ryzen 7 3700x Evga rtx 2080 ftw3 Samsung 970 Pro 1Tb NVME boot drive Seasonic Prime 850w Titanium PSU This isn't the first time this has happened either. When I first built the pc it did this when I tried turning on the game boost feature and xmp for the ram. I was lucky to even be able to get to the bios to turn it off back then. I updated the bios back then afterward and thought maybe that would fix it but I never tried it. Did not turn on game boost but did use xmp this time and manually overclocked the cpu. Maybe the mobo is still screwed after all. Or the cpu or ram, idfk. Please help me.
  15. Ah, yes I did update the bios right after finding that the OC preset was buggy, but I never tried using it again after that.
