Hello gents, I have nowhere else to go with this, so i need your help: Recently ordered a (insert title here) gpu from amazon, and I noticed it has 2x8 power pin recievers. My psu has a 6+2 and a 6, so I'm missing 2 more pins from my psu to the gpu. Other than that, my wattage is within range, about 80 watts with max load (I have an 500w PSU). Now here's the question: will the gpu be fine if i put in just the 8 and 6 pins i got in my psu? And another thing I noticed is that people reccomend getting an power pin adapter, which I did, an 6 pin from the psu, that goes 8 pins into the GPU. Which is better/worse and what can I do. Another thing is, since my pc is a pre built(I know, grave sin, but I had a reason for it), there's a bunch of stupid add ons that aren't really practical, for example, my psu is boxed in metal, and i cant see if it has more output pins unless i somehow undo the box. Anyways, please let me know your thoughts, from experience, I'd rather not risk that one time I blew my MOBA and CPU because I made it overheat, I don't want my new pc to turn my room into a DOOM level. If you need more info about the build and other details, I'll let you know, please and thank you.

Hi all, I'm trying to figure out the pinout of my AGV750 8pin GPU connector. It's semi modular and I got it without the 8pin cable that came in the box. I've been testing every pin coming out of the PSU (Not the cable) and I can't tell which pins are the sense A and B. I jumped the PSU between pins 4 and 5 to turn it on without being in a computer (The fans are spinning and the output voltage coming from the random pins I was testing was 2.7v. I'm assuming due to the lack of a load) Is there a surefire way to tell which pins they are? Please let me know! I'm planning on figuring out the pinout and swapping the cables around so it works normally with this random cable. Please let me know your thoughts! Thank you!

Hello, I've been interested in using a Raspberry Pi and bought a LED matrix for it, the max7219, and I've been using it to show neet little messages on it. I've noticed that my motherboard, the Z370-GAMING-PRO-CARBON-AC has some kinds of pins on it that I don't use, and I was wondering if maybe I could write some C / Python code to output data on these pins to turn on an off the LEDs on the matrix. Attached is a screenshot of the said pins because my camera quality was too bad for this

Hello I'm new here and I'm not sure I'm posting in the right place, but could someone please tell me if this motherboard is salvageable at all? it came missing a pin and has around 2 bent pin but for msi to "fix" it i need to pay. Its less than a day old and i wanted to see if at all it was usable or will i really need to pay. Thank you for your time and sorry if I'm the wrong place.

I needed some help with my current build: I have a b450- f gaming mb from ROG and a Castle 360 cooler from deepcool the rgb header on the pump has a 5V 3 pin rgb header while the mb has a 4 pin rgb header. Is there any way i can use an adapter for this if so can anyone tell me which one?

Hi guys. recently I came across my first computer. I took it apart years ago, but managed to bend a lot of the pins. I managed to straighten 30 pins, but 1 unfortunately fell and broke. I dont think I can hot glue it because the CPU sits flush on the socket. My plan B is to cover the pin with a bit of soulder and quickly attach it back in place with a pair of tweezers. What do you think, will it work? Do you have any other methods? Let me know! Thank you in advance!

Acccording to Gamer's Nexus, and allegedly multiple comments by viewers of the GN YouTube channel, Newegg has been running what Steve (from Gamer's Nexus) calls a "scam." The "scam" involves consumers being denied refunds by Newegg after returning what are supposedly return-eligible products, specifically motherboards. Newegg has apparently been consistently citing "customer-caused damage to CPU pins" (from the video at the 4:10 mark) as the reason for witholding the funds from would-be RMA-ers. As Steve says, he's heard about the issue for years, and his best way to test the waters was to keep ordering product as normal for the business. Well, Tech Jesus, it looks like you finally got your answer. "...[T]hey rolled the dice on a random number generator, they happened to roll a critical failure for this one." Steve reports that after attempting to return a $500 (all-in) motherboard that Gamer's Nexus ended up no longer needing (a fact that they apparently made quite transparent in their return merchandise request), they received an infamous response about customer damage to the board. This Newegg response came despite Steve's claims that the box the product shipped in was never even opened. Tech nerds will be familiar with the protective covers in place in CPU sockets to prevent the very issues Newegg is accusing customers of having caused, so it seems unlikely that the pins or socket could have been damaged in shipping, either to or from the customers. Steve basically threw his hands in the air over getting the money back, but admits that creating the video revealing his experience with Newegg will likely make GN back the $500 quite easily and he also expresses his frustration in knowing that the average consumer would not necessarily have the luxary of buying a new part or have a loud enough voice to make the problem see the light of day. It seems likely that tech industry, especially the tech media on YouTube, will have a field day with the story, as they have with past investigations conducted by Gamer's Nexus, such as the biggest GN story of 2021 regarding explosive Gigabyte power supplies. Whatever the outcome, computer builders will likely be enthusiastic to know that they have such an outspoken ally in the tech media and hope to see any wrongdoing (if there is some) on Newegg's part brought to justice.

Hello. I've bought this motherboard a week ago and filled almost all ports with components upon arrival. Today, I got a second Samsung 970 EVO Plus 1TB that I installed on the remaining M2P_SB port, and I just couldn't get it to show anywhere. I checked on Windows (Disk Management, Device Manager, diskpart), and then in BIOS (I tried enabling CSM as seen in some video, but it always showed N/A for M2P_SB). I thought it was a bad SSD, but after switching places of the two 970 EVO Pluses, it turned out that the port M2P_SB wasn't recognizing anything (the SSD is not faulty since it worked on the MSB_SB port). I'm worried that the M2P_SB port might be faulty (I attached a picture of it), and my technician and I realized that the first 3 pins from the left look different than the others. He told me I should try tweaking them with the needle (since it seems like they're a bit higher or lower then others), but I'm not sure about that. I'm hoping that there's a way around this, since I'd have to wait quite a lot for the replacement motherboard if I sent it back, so I'd first like to ask for your help if you had the same issue, or are familiar with this and know how, and if it can be fixed. Thank you in advance! Here's a picture of a working M.2 port from my old Gigabyte B560M H motherboard for comparison. And here are some of my specs that might be useful: OS - Windows 10 Motherboard - Gigabyte Z590 AORUS ELITE AX CPU - Intel i7 11700KF M.2 SSD (M2A_CPU) - Samsung 980 PRO 500GB M.2 SSD (M2B_SB) - Samsung 970 EVO Plus 1TB SATA SSD (port 3) - Innovation IT Basic 240GB SATA HDD (port 2) - Seagate Barracuda 2TB

I think my gpu is dead because the pins are scratched and idk what to do i was cleaning my pc and went to put the gpu back but it slipped while aligning and i got this scratch i tried putting it in llugging my display ports back in etc i tried booting it up no signal no sign of fan spinning its a gtx 1660s

The PC is from HP, Pavilion Slimline series. The reason why I’m trying to fix it is because of an error boot text and a black screen before startup I cleaned all of the dust from this old pc because it’s from 2012. Unfortunately I really don’t know what I’m doing so yeah MAIN PROBLEM: pc won’t boot up normally all I get is an arrow message and that I should fix in BIOS Some pin connection (not sure if they’re called that) like there is a P2 cable that has 4 small holes but they connect to pins on the motherboard, BUT THR PROBLEM IS that I can’t find any space for this cable nothing has only y pins; please help

Hey all. Just tried to install my BRAND NEW AMD Ryzen 9 5900X CPU (100% NO BENT PINS) into an Asus ROG Strix X570-E Gaming motherboard (BRAND NEW, SOCKET LOOKED CLEAN). Let me just say this is not my first time installing AMD CPU's. What my installation procedure looked like: grounded myself lifted retention arm FULLY inspected socket inspected CPU pins matched the golden triangles carefully "dropped" the CPU into the socket (NO FORCE) lowered the retention arm FULLY (it required NO FORCE, as usual) The CPU effortlessly dropped into the socket, but I noticed it did not sit flush at one corner, with the retention arm up (just inserted) OR down (fully installed). NOTE: THE FIRST IMAGE PROVIDED IS NOT MINE, AND SHOULD ONLY BE USED FOR REFERENCE: Now I didn't take a picture of the issue for the first time, but this image should give you a rough idea of how it looked. Please keep in mind IT WAS NOT THIS BAD, but when checking if the CPU was seated correctly, I COULD actually see a bit of a reflection from the golden pins in the same corner as depicted in the picture bellow - basically the CPU was lifting at one corner, which is not normal. I then proceeded to lift the retention arm fully, thus releasing the CPU. I carefully took it out, inspected the pins (NO BENT PINS IN ALL CASES) and tried to continue with the installation two more times. Yes, the socket lever was all the way up before inserting the CPU. In all of the cases the CPU never sat flush with the socket at the same corner. Because I then became quite disappointed and frustrated with the progress of the build, I decided to just very lightly hold the CPU down on opposite corners, while lowering the retention arm. Let me say I realise that this should not be done (I know it's a ZIF socket), however this is the only solution that seemed to have worked. THE IMAGES BELLOW SHOW THE ACTUAL STATUS OF THE COMPONENTS DESCRIBED IN THIS POST DURING MY LAST ATTEMPT: It is a bit hard to see, but the right corner is still slightly lifted, just not as much as before... Again - before I could actually see just a tiny bit of the gold, from the pins. What am I missing? I'd truly appreciate your help.. Thank you all for taking your time!

Hi, I've taken a look at my new MSI Z590 GAMING PLUS motherboard and upon close inspection, some of the pins are a bit bent and one is missing. Is this still usable or do I have to send it back? Thanks.

So I was gonna hand down my old CPU, RAM and Mobo to my relative's, while building their new rig, I must have messed up the placing of the CPU (But I was sure it went in smoothly), because after finishing everything, upon trying to boot, it never posted; it only half booted. I decided to see if it was a thermal paste issue, I check, CPU is slightly bent on both sides, and lots of bent pins on socket. It would boot then shutdown at first (mobo leds would light up), then being an idiot, I tried putting it again and it's completely dead . I wanna know if the CPU is still ok, until I get another LGA1511 board to test it on ,I won't know. Only got visual aids.

some of my old computer's(it works) cpu socket pins are bent and my ram slots of channel b r not working. i know that some pins do nothing and are there for some reason(linus explained it). i want to find out which cpu socket pins r for my ram slots of channel b. any help would be appreciated.....

Hi everyone, let’s make this simple, got a new psu, and it has 8 pins. So does the motherboard, but it doesn’t fit, the squares and shapes on the motherboard 8 pin is different then the cable that my psu came with. I simply want to know what cable will fit, I shall post a picture, or more.

Hi The power plugs on fans can be easily replaced, say you want to go from a 3 pin to a 2 pin plug. I did this when replacing a fan in a power supply with a 2 pin "outlet" (and no spare space for a 3 pin plug). I have added an example image below, note the holes marked in red! The power plugs have holes on the "vertical side" where you can push in the metal pin and pull out the individual cords. This will allow you to exchange the plastic ends to go between say a 3 pin and 2 pin plug. Just my 2 cents!

I disassembled my PC and removed my CPU from the MB, and I saw this (Check Image please) Are those pins damaged? Would they affect performance or CPU? I saw some videos online on how to fix them and many said that it could be dangerous to install a CPU on a socket that has damaged pins. The weird thing that I have been running my CPU on that board for more over a year without any serious issues. Any advice would be appreciated.

I was seriously considering upgrading to Ryzen (once the reviews were out, of course) but I've just found out it has pins, you know, like my old Pentium 4... the kind that bends and makes your CPU unusable. I'm a tad less enthusiastic now.
