Alright, This one is for all my Audio nerds out there. I have run into an issue I cannot figure out. I have been obsessing over this for the last 30+ days. I don't know If I am missing something right in front of me, or if I just truly bought something incompateble with my system. I have purchased an Apollo Twin X Thunderbolt to be used on an AMD Ryzen bassed processing system. Here is the system I am running: ASUS ROG STRIX B550-A Gaming motherboard Ryzen 9 5900X Processor Asus ThunderboltEX 4 Thunderbolt Expansion Card Corsair Vengance 32GB DDR4 3200 Nvidia 3090 Ti FE GPU ASUS ROG STRIX 1000W PSU Windows 10 Now IN THEORY, these parts should work together in harmony. I belive that the ThunderboltEX4 card is functioning properly because I can see the Apollo attached to Port one in the Thunderbolt(TM) Software. But I do not see any sign of the Apollo Hardware in the device manager other than the UAD-2 Drivers. Universal Audio Thunderbolt WDM also exists in Device Manager, but location is unknown. UA Control and Metter cannot detect the hardware either. I am not sure if the thunderbolt card is not bridging correctly in some way, but i am not even getting the "thunderbolt functionallity limited" Error anymore, just nothing. I attempted to find any hidden MOBO settings, but my BIOS does not have very many options reguarding Thunderbolt, But I was able to turn it on. If any of you have any experice with this, or have been in a similar situation, I would appreciate the help. I have read the manuals for my MOBO, TB Card, and this Apollo Twin X TB and I cannot figure it out. Here is what I have tried so far: -The first issue I saw was my NVM was out of date for the Thunderbolt Card, There was an update and thunderbolt software provided by ASUS, but I recieve this message when I run the Shell.efi in BIOS -I then attempted to roll back all TB compatable BIOS, and still no luck. -Cleared CMOS -Tried multiple different name brand cables -Spent hours digging through device manager to make sure my card is working properly, from what I can tell they are. -Rebuilt system and reinstalled card 3 times -Reinstalled all assorted Drivers a plethera of times The Apollo shows up in TBControl, but I cannot Approve it for a reason that I have spent hours not anywhere close to finding. I am not sure of an easier way to check if the TB Card is functioning properly other than device manager. Any knowledge you may share can to help put an end to my suffering is greatly appreciated. Thanks! Willy

On Gigabyte's website the X670 Aorus Elite AX has a revision 1.0 and 1.1, the specification sheet seems to be exactly the same but the heatsink plating has a completely different design, moreover when I looked for the board being sold online revision 1.1 almost did not exist, only being found on a South African and an Armenian webstore. Is there any info on if these boards have a functional difference? I don't get why Gigabyte would redesign a motherboard's heatsink requiring new machine tooling and then proceed to not even sell it anywhere.

Ya know, I love it when Steve from Gamers Nexus goes on a rant, and I agree with everything he said in this video. I am currently planning out my AM5 build and this is 110% true for all of them. I really wish companies would listen so we could get more actual functional features for less money. You guys should really watch this, he's got a good point.

So I've been thinking about buying a pretty high end PC, and wanted to future proof it as best as I can, but after looking at Motherboards, I've realized that there aren't any that can support a PCIe 5 SSD and GPU at their full speeds. One lane (usually the GPU) will get cut to PCIe 5 x8, and I've been wondering, is this because current CPUs/Chipsets can't handle the bandwidth, or do board manufacturers not see a reason to start producing boards that powerful. Or is there another reason I'm not thinking of?

I picked up on these two motherboards because they both have rear USB-C, and were one of the cheapest that had it, but if I were to use a Ryzen 5 5700G, what would be the fundamental differences? Also, if there are cheaper cards with USB-C, I would appriciate suggestions, because I only need 2 memory lanes, and 1x M.2 slot

Budget (including currency): $3300AUD Country: Australia Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Mostly games (will use ray tracing), also some coding (AI stuff, app UI, and websites mostly), plus some light video editing Other details I'm just about to build my first computer, really excited about it, I've done hours of research into every component, motherboards are just tricky. I'll be using an i5 13600kf processor with a rtx 3080 10gb gpu, a 750 watt power supply, and 32GB of ddr5-6000 CL40 ram From what I see my main choice of motherboard are between Z690 and B660 chipsets, as Z790 is more expensive for no extra benefit for me. The motherboard I'm looking to buy is the "Asus ROG STRIX B660-F GAMING WIFI ATX LGA1700 Motherboard" and from what I can see all I loose out on for picking this over a Z690 motherboard is a couple less pci-e lanes, one less m.2 slot, and no built in cpu overclocking which I don't care about, yet every similar build I see to mine uses a Z690 motherboard. Is there something I'm missing? Can people think of any reason as to why I should use a more expensive mid-range Z690 motherboard over a top-of-the-line B660 motherboard? Will it be fine at routing power to my gpu and cpu or will I be unintentionally under-volting? From what I can see I think it would be fine, but I'm not so confident to actually buy it without asking people who definitely know more than me. I can provide more build details if necessary, thanks!! (I am aware that's more ram than you would think I need) Just realised that I can also link my pc part picker list here https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/2gXZd9, so I guess I'd also appreciate any other advice as well. I'm very interested in understanding my PC, so if you do have swaps in mind, please explain why. Thanks

The OP is found here: 2013 OP I'm fairly new to the whole "modding my computer" ball game...I am a Mac user which has its pros and cons and I find that I miss Windows at times as that was my first OS. Anyway I have an old dv1000 heirloom from my dad. It has the same poor memory, and CPU as the OP shows in 2013. So my questions are these: If I can upgrade to an Intel Pentium M 780 2.26 GHz 2 MB 533 MHz Socket 479 CPU (which is what the OP states is his preference at the very end), could I then upgrade the RAM to 4GB instead of the 2GB max capacity? Pentium M's can go up to 4GB according to some sources. But I am not sure if this specific CPU can make the computer run at 4GB RAM or if other internals will need to be modified? Also, is it worth upgrading to Windows 7 if I have XP installed? I can't remember which version I have. I lost my charger, buying a new one for this computer so I can't tell you since it's dead. But I do have a Malwarebytes subscription so that is one reason to upgrade. Thank you for your time.

Hey, everyone! I'm really confused on what RAM to choose for this combination... Ideally, I'd like to get a DDR4-3600CL16 2x16GB kit. Crucial Ballistix is currently sold out EVERYWHERE in my location... Now I'm more focused on G.Skill, but the QVLs for those are really weird - the kits in Asus' QVL don't have the motherboard in their respective QVLs as far as I can see... So is there something in the QVLs that I've missed, or is there a reliable kit outside the QVL that you could recommend?

The System Motherboard: ASRock B450 Pro 4 CPU: AMD Ryzen 3 3200G Video: Sapphire NITRO+ Radeon RX 580 8 GB Video Card Storage: - Windows Boot: Crucial MX500 250 GB M.2-2280 SATA Solid State Drive - Linux Boot: Western Digital Blue SN550 500 GB M.2-2280 PCIe 3.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive https://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/B450M Pro4/index.asp I was trying to switch to my Linux drive this weekend (My weekends are Wed/Thurs) when I noticed my computer not going to the ASRock POST screen. I already have this issue where my Mountain Everest Max doesn't work until the OS boots which is odd but I can get another keyboard. I've been testing creating a shortcut in windows to reboot to UEFI which I thought was working. I swear it worked the first time but after that it just reboots to black and if I wait too long eventually it goes straight to Windows. I've tried spamming delete which i think is my key. I tried spamming F2, F11 and F12 which might be the key but in every case nothing happens for a much longer time than I would normally anticipate and then it goes straight to Windows login. It is true I was in the BIOS yesterday and while there looking around I changed two settings. One had to do with MBR compatiblity and I don't recall the other except to say that I checked for FastBoot and it was off and after reading on it I decided to keep it off. But at this point I have no idea why I'm not getting my POST screen. Still I have no problems resetting the entire BIOS if that fixes the issue and I'll go through and setup everything again. Just not entirely sure how to do that. Any ideas on how to do that or anything else I could try to get my system working properly would be appreciated. Cheers. See you in the morning.

I was looking to purchase a gigabyte z270-hd3p to replace my msi b250 pc mate motherboard. However upon looking at a few pictures of the board, it seems like the screw holes are in a different position from my motherboard even though both are ATX? I am just confused. I attached pictures of both boards so it makes more sense. Doesn't it seem like the Gigabyte board has the screw holes in a different spot? Specifically around the ram slots.

Hello everyone i got a really interesting question and i hope someone helps regarding this so i have an hp dc7800p PC with an LGA 775 Q35 chipset on it but im having some motherboard issues and cannot post the good news is that probably my RAM/CPU/GPU are all working but the most important part for me is the hard drive it is working and in okay condition last time i used my PC but i need all the data + OS on it so the real question here is can i put everything all back together with the same case on a new motherboard with the identical old one ( ig LGA 775 ) then boot into my old drive with everything saved? I wouldn’t mind 10% of issues but i need at least 90% of the windows 10 to operate properly do not tell me to copy data over and install a fresh windows as that’s completely useless and not the point of what I’m trying to ask/do side note: it also has a patched theme and many programs installed i need it all regardless someone help and let me know as soon as possible as I’m considering this as a best solution for a faulty motherboard also this only happened recently due to a long story that i don’t need to bring up also my power supply is in working condition at 325w max thanks!

Hello everyone I’m new to this forum and i know that what I’m about to say is a bit old and everything but this is very important to me because i want all my saved OS/Data as save as they can be so I’ve had my LGA 775 PC running for awhile just fine and i recently decided to upgrade it so it could be a better temporary solution until i get a gaming build and an actual modern powerful PC so i started with the RAM it’s DDR2 but it only had 2GB so i bought unbuffered RAM 2x4 RAM sticks for a total of 8GB it worked fine but then all the troubles start from the CPU upgrade unfortunately I didn’t take precautions when it came to this but anyways i bought a Modded Xeon E5450 didn’t do any bios updates or anything but it already had the sticker adapter to convert 771 socket into 775, I installed it and replaced thermal paste everything was correct but afterwards my PC just started spinning with no display then I thought to myself okay it won’t work with my board so I’ll put back the old dual core CPU in, just when i did that my PC starts for 3 seconds then shuts off never posts and keeps going like that for a loop my PC is a DC 7800p Convertible Minitower the weird part is i tried almost everything including resetting the CMOS, replacing the battery with a new one, RAM is already new and known to be working also my motherboard light turns on all fans spin, error peep codes can sometimes trigger, Power supply works as well all of this tells me that my motherboard is in fact working so why isn’t it posting? I even bought a Quad Q9300 processor which also does the same thing the only difference is when i put the Unsupported Xeon back my PC stays on but with no beep codes or display now the question is what can i do to finally get it back to work on an original LGA 775 CPU?? im lost for ideas kindly someone help thanks!

I dropped water in an HP envy x360 laptop. After drying it, it opened and everything was almost ok. Windows is running and all BUT it is very slow (the CPU clock is kept at the minimum) , the fans are running at 99%, I cant get a reading on the battery level AND the battery temperature showed in the BIOS is 69 thousand degrees C! I assumed that all those problem are related to the laptop panicking and thinking it is going to catch on fire. I replaced the battery and nothing changed. Water must have shorted a part of the motherboard and is now not able to read information given by the battery. I thought of asking the BIOS to not take into account the battery temperature or overwriting it with a 30 degrees C value but I can't find any info on that online. What are the solutions? Do you have any ideas? Edit 1: it has been fully disassemble, dried and the corrosion have been cleaned with alcohol (there was corrosion on the battery connector). I think I have done everything on the hardware part except replace the motherboard. So I am searching more for a software solution.

AORUS B450 PRO (rev1.0) BIOS F51 Update to BIOS F62D With Ryzen 2600X is it possible? because the bios I'm using now with version F51 can't turn on FTPM (always winload.efi when I turn on ftpm) did updating the bios solve any of this? I'm worried because the processor I'm using now is still Ryzen 5 2600X

Hello! New to pc parts and stuff so my terminology might be somewhat off. I recently picked up this pc https://www.newegg.ca/abs-ali597/p/N82E16883360232?Item=N82E16883360232 Here are the specs to the build that are necessary to the issue Motherboard: Gigabyte B560 DS3H AC Y-1 Fans: Deepcool cf120 Case: Deepcool MATREXX 50 My issue: The rgb on the cf120 fans at the moment are only able to controlled by the button on the top of the case rather than the rgb software on the computer. Goal: From what I've gathered online and talking to others is that I need to connect the controller to the argb port on the motherboard which is the D_LED1 port, which has the thee prongs with one space between them. I am unable to find the cord to plug into the argb port on the motherboard to fix the issue. I will link a youtube video that has instructions on how to fix this exact issue however my motherboard and case/setup are slightly different than his and I am unable to find the cord that matches his: Here are some photos that show my setup: The cord running from the rgb fans (unnamed(1)) runs to the piece in the 2 and 3 unnamed photos and runs up to the hub at the top of the back of the pc (unnamed pic). Let me know if there is any other information you need.

Hey everyone I've got an ECS H81H3-M4 motherboard with Intel i5-4590 processor coupled with AMD Radeon R7 240 graphics card. It's a newly built low budget (I'm a student) system. The problem is that when I stress the graphics card the system shuts off instantly, as if power supply failed to cope with that power draw. I had no name 400w power supply so i figured it couldn't provide the rated capacity so I went and bought second hand Corsair VS650 650w power supply, with it's warranty sticker still intact. But the system still shuts down under graphical load. Things I've tried: - running memtest86+, 1 pass, no fail - stressing CPU with prime95, processor pulled 90w but system still worked - undervolting in BIOS settings, no effect (since stressing CPU didn't cause system to fail i believe CPU isn't the problem) The same graphics card works just fine with my older build (intel H55M chipset with i5-520, one of those weird motherboards that was shown in LTT channel recently). The other problem is that the motherboard can't reset/reboot without hanging, I have to force shutdown the system when restarting Windows or after saving BIOS settings. Any ideas what is the problem and what can be done? Cheers from Turkey :)

I have a SFF motherboard (0WR7PY) and I planned on putting it into a new case with better airflow. My question is what ATX/ITX size would be compatible ? (I am willing to mod the case too if needed)
