Power supply fits but...

[Sean328]

Ok so I bought a new power supply and it fits perfectly it’s a RM850X fully modular Now the only problem is my radiator won’t fit and the reason it’s apart is because it started boot looping. So I kept on taking things off to see if the boot looping Would stop and it never did

Bottom thingy?  You mean the radiator?

[LukeSavenije]

your radiator? maybe you can mount it on the front?

He'd have to remove that drive cage, and if he's calling a radiator a "bottom thingy" and unsure if he even needs it...I am not sure he's up for it.

 

Give us some backstory on this thing.  Where did you get it, why do you even have it, why is in the state it's in (you don't need to remove a CPU to install a PSU), was it water cooled previously?  

 

Specs?

[Fasauceome]

What case is that?

[VIVO-US]

Is this a build in progress?  I don't see the CPU, RAM, graphics card, CPU water block, tubing, water pump or radiator fans in the photo.

 

If the radiator won't fit, you can use an air cooler for the CPU or install a 120mm single fan AIO water cooler with the radiator mounted where the fan is currently located.  Also, about that rear fan, it would actually be best if it was facing the other way to exhaust warm air out the back.  It's currently positioned to blow air into the case.

Pretty sure he's just trolling us.

Isn't that a really old Gigabyte motherboard, I haven't seen these blue-hued PCBs in a while.

What monstrosity of a CPU that would require that absolute unit of a radiator

So my moms bf custom built it around 2011-12, and two years ago he gave it too me to like use and play games. It has an AMD Radeon HD 6990 and a AMD Radeon 6970. The reason I called the radiator a bottom thing was because I was rushing on something and I forgot my bad . I just got into pc and I want to learn more and fix this one up, the pc started boot looping around a year or so ago and I haven’t touched it since except take it apart and look at everything. I figured it was the power supply because it was kinda old stuff, so I got a RM850x power supply fully modular and what the PC had before was a TX850. My friend who is really good with computers told me to take certain things off and turn the pc on and see if it stops boot looping so I did that everytime I took a part off it would continue to bootloop so I just took it apart and waited on my moms bf to be off work so we could work on it. if there’s more you wanna know tell me exactly what you want to know because I’m kinda bad at this stuff but I really enjoy pc more then anything I love working on stuff so I thought a pc was a smart choice

Punctuation.  Ain't reading that.

It was a working build but it started boot looping and I’ve been trying to get it working ever since. it’s got a intel I5-2500k that was over clocked to like 5ghz I think I can’t remember it’s been too dang long

Yes it is, my moms bf built this pc back in 2011-12. So it’s got some kinda good stuff and really old not so good stuff. It’s also got a radiator on the top and bottom

Also yes it was water cooled and I just took it apart because of boot looping

Ah, boot looping.  I hate that problem.  In my experience, this is more likely to be a software instead of a hardware issue.

Did it start after a recent Windows update or other update?  I've fixed about 3 computers in the past few months that crashed after a major Windows system update.  Those computers were all about the same age as the one you have.

It started after windows 10 update, and after my friend over locked the CPU to 5ghz

Gee, I wonder why it wouldn't boot.

Alright, in that case, I would put it back together, go into the BIOS, write down all of the overclock settings, then reset everything to default speed.  Next, try using a Windows 10 disc or USB boot drive to try and repair the file system and any other errors.  Worst case, you can reinstall Windows 10 with the option of keeping your old files.

 

Once it's all working again and stable, you can go back into the BIOS and put all the overclock settings back in as they were, and that will all hopefully get it back up and running the way you want!

The apple sticker was a joke.
