So I built my PC a few weeks ago and everything runs great, but there is a orange light below my ram slots and I dont know what it means. I have looked a few things up and I have seen a bunch of different answers. I was wondering if anybody on here knows what it means? thanks

Just finished building my mini ITX PC and no display. Lights are on, fans are spinning, I’m about 90% I have everything plugged in. My concern is it might be my CPU. My cpu is a Ryzen 7 3700x and my motherboard is a ASUS B450-I Strix and I have heard people say you might need to update the bios but the motherboard says it’s Ryzen 3000 series ready. I have a M.2 drive in there, is anything supposed to be plugged into that? Bios for a ASUS motherboard is F2 or Del right? I don’t know, I hope someone can help, thanks

So will they all sync up if the 4 pin connector is connected to the motherboard but the other fans are only connected to a 3 pin ?

Noob Question: Ok so I have a H210 case and I am using the ASUS B4450-I Strix Mini ITX motherboard. I dont have enough fan headers so I was thinking about buying a Fan Splitter to plug up with my fans. The fan splitter has one 4 pin connector and two 3 pin connector. the fans I want are 4 pin PWM. Will the PWM still work if only 3 of the pins are connected but the part I plug into my motherboard is a 4 pin connector ? sorry if this is confusing

how big is the power supply on the xps 8300?

Is it still a good PSU? is worth to just get it now instead of waiting a few weeks for the Fractal Ion+? I rarely overclock and I just do some light gaming and just want the ability to upgrade in the future with out worrying about not having enough wattage. I need about 550w right now with my 3700x and GTX 1080

PSU are sold out practically everywhere and of course its the last component I need for my mini ITX build. I am looking for an SFX power supply and i have narrowed it down between the Fractal Design Ion SFX 650w and the SilverStone SST-SX700-G. I saw the Fractal Design PSU on the PSU tier list but I couldn't find the Silverstone. I like the Fractal one a lot but it wont be back in stock until June 10 possibly later, but the Silverstone is available now. I am using the H210 case so I could use a ATX PSU but i don't want to starve my GPU of Air. Has anyone ever used the Silver stone PSU? is it worth to get it or just wait for the fractal design?

hey, so I have never used a M.2 SSD before so sorry if this a noob question I have a m.2 Samsung evo 970 ssd and I am using a ASUS B450I Strix motherboard (mini itx) and i have read some things were people have said it will split the pcie lane from x16 to x8 using a m.2 drive. So I am curious if i should switch my ssd to a regular sata or will it be fine? Sorry if my terminology is a little wrong, but hopefully you guys get the point, Thanks
