    Thanks guys

    Hmm, maybe just worrying too much
  4. LE-FISH
    There's no exposed copper. The tweezers are quite light so I guess nothing was damaged physically by the looks of it. I am just more worried about the fact that tweezers are metal and metal touching PCB is bad???
  5. LE-FISH
    No problems. Everything boots up fine.

    I recently opened my case to insert a PCIe USB 3.0 hub. In the process I dropped metal tweezers (was using to straighten pins on USB socket on PCIe card) and now worried I may have damage motherboard? Am I being too paranoid?
  7. LE-FISH
    So, I get the impression that any additional PCIe devices that get connected will slow down graphics card and/or CPU? Is this true? My motherboard: https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/Z170A-GAMING-M5.html#down-manual USB 3.0 PCIe plan to buy: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00FPIMJEW/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A5JH7MGCI556L

    OK, when I connected my Xbox One pad to the front USB 3.0 header, I saw a bit of smoke come out of micro usb socket on Xbox One pad... it was instantly melted. Structurally the tip of the micro usb cable was still intact but you could see burnt edges. Now, I can't even turn my PC on. It's safe to assume the PSU has died? I hope it's not the motherboard... Why did this happen??? Any ideas. I have a Corsair HX1200i with 2 AMD Fury X video cards installed...

    I am naturally very paranoid about things so please excuse my questions BUT, are you sure it's ok to leave mains power on whilst connected to PC?
  10. LE-FISH
    Hmmmm lol
  11. LE-FISH
    Lol, continuous power to PC components... it will affect lifespan.
  12. LE-FISH
    Yeah I guess it's fine to do that but I don't like the idea of power still going to PC... even if it's only a small amount of power.
  13. LE-FISH
    I do it because rather than physically taking plug out from wall socket after PC is off.... I just have the switch set to OFF from the wall socket so no power will go to PC. Hmm I see... I mean, this never happened before I installed Corsair H80i V2 cooler...
  14. LE-FISH
    Main socket switch as in this: https://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=http%3A%2F%2Funmakingthings.rca.ac.uk%2F2015%2Ffiles%2F2015%2F02%2FUk_13a_double_socket.jpg&imgrefurl=http%3A%2F%2Funmakingthings.rca.ac.uk%2F2015%2F%3Fp%3D753&docid=HtvigMChOOQFHM&tbnid=q72CCUWi-M-V2M%3A&w=903&h=600&bih=977&biw=1745&ved=0ahUKEwiEtKbhusPOAhWImBoKHZBeASQQMwgqKA4wDg&iact=mrc&uact=8 I need to have it switched on... when i do switch to on... power to MB is active for a short moment then goes and then comes back (going by blinking LEDs on MB). Whilst this is happening for around 6 seconds, I can't actually turn pc on via ON button on pc case...
  15. LE-FISH
    Since I installed a Corsair H80i V2, I have been having a few issues. When I leave PC off for a long period of time (around 6 hours) and then turn it on via mains socket switch... the LEDs on motherboard turn on for a few seconds, then back off again (for approximately 6 seconds). While this is happening I can't actually turn PC on until all MB LED lights stay lit up. Any ideas why this could be happening? NOTE: I own a Corsair HX1000i PSU and a Asus Maxumus VII Hero motherboard.

    Recently installed the H80i v2 and have noticed after having played a game for a few hours, whilst idle, temps are around 40 degrees. When playing BF4 temps do not exceed 60 degrees and sit around 55-58 degrees. Isn't 40 degrees considered to be rather high for water cooling temps whilst idle?
