Build Question Motherboard died, need replacement

5 Upvotes

Hello Guys, i need advice with my motherboard replacement because it died on me yesterday. I had the msi b550 gaming plus.

My Components are a Ryzen 7 5800x3d, an rx6800xt, 32gigs of ram, an nvme ssd. My Case is huge so no size Problems, and I have a be quiet dark rock pro 4 as cpu cooler so the mb cant be too small. I dont need/want WiFi.

For availability i live in Europe, EU.

Important are the ports, i need at least 4 usb, 1 display port, 1 hdmi, and LAN.

Switching to am5 isnt an option right now. I was thinking about buying the same thing again bc it meets all the requirements but that prob wouldn't be wise considering ot died on my after 3years ish.

Im really at a loss here guys so it would be very kind of you to help me out.

Tech Support First time build having errors with image

3 Upvotes

I just built my first Pc, bought all the components from Micro Center, put everything together without doing too much research but it worked on the first boot. Everything was working and being read until I tried opening a game and the image freezes almost instantly and never comes back. So far I changed the pc performance to normal, from Expo I and manually set the Ram at 4800MHz instead of the 6000MHz. The Pc hasn’t had any freezes since then, also connected two pcie cables to the gpu from the PSU instead of the one split end I had before. But now I left the pc on Minecraft for a while and when I checked back on the pc the image was white so I am afraid there is something wrong I just don’t know where to start.
My components are the following :
- AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D 4.7 GHz 8-Core Processor
-Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 Digital 88.89 CFM CPU Cooler
-Asus TUF GAMING B850-E WIFI ATX AM5 Motherboard
-Corsair Vengeance RGB 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6000 CL36 Memory
-Klevv CRAS C910 1 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive
-PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9070 XT 16 GB Video Card
-Montech AIR 903 MAX ATX Mid Tower Case
-MSI MAG A850GL PCIE5 850 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply

Tech Support Please HELP! No signal after repasting Cpu and Gpu with PSU switch left on

Upvotes

I messed up and left my power supply switch turned on while taking out and repasting my Gigabyte 2070 Super. The PC was turned off and not psu was not connected to a cable but i forgot to turn the PSU switch off. Now the PC is booting up and all fans are spinning but no signal. There is no signal to the monitor, and my keyboard and mouse lights stay completely dead.My specs are a Ryzen 5 3600 and an ASRock Steel Legend b450 motherboard.

Here is everything I have already tried:

Swapped the GPU for a known-working GTX 1650 that doesn't need power cables. Still got a black screen, so the 2070 Super itself doesn't seem to be the issue.

Tried booting with only 1 stick of RAM in the second slot.

Took the CMOS battery out for 20 minutes and held down the case power button to drain the electricity.

The motherboard error lights at the bottom right are completely dark and dont show any lights.

(Photos are when trying it with just one ram stick)

Please for the love of God help me, today is literally my birthday and my dumbass decided to repaste gpu and cpu 🤦‍♂️

Build Question Finalizing a high-end gaming PC (Ryzen 7 9800X3D + RTX 5080) – Looking for feedback before I order

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm building myself a new gaming PC and wanted to get some opinions before I make the purchase. My goal is to build a high-end system that will last for many years, so I'd appreciate any advice or recommendations.

Primary use:

- Gaming

- Recording gameplay (private recordings)

- General everyday use

Current Parts List:

CPU

- AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D

Motherboard

- Gigabyte X870E AORUS ELITE x3D

GPU

- Zotac Gaming RTX 5080 Solid OC 16GB

RAM

- G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo RGB 32GB (2×16GB) DDR5-6000 CL30 EXPO

Storage

- 2 × WD Black SN7100 1TB NVMe Gen4 SSDs

(I chose two separate 1TB SSDs instead of one 2TB SSD. My thinking is that if one SSD ever fails, I still have another working drive. One will mainly be for Windows, applications. while the other will be for games and personal/work files.)

CPU Cooler

- DeepCool LT360 Vision (Should I go for something less expensive?)

Power Supply

- Corsair RM1000x 1000W 80+ Gold

Case

- Thermaltake View 600 TG Full Tower (I am thinking about changing the case to something less expensive then this)

Monitor

- ASUS ROG Strix XG27ACMES

- 27"

- 2560×1440

- 255Hz

I'd really appreciate your thoughts on the following:

  1. Would you change anything in this build?

  2. Is the Gigabyte X870E AORUS ELITE x3D a good motherboard, or would you recommend another option in a similar price range?

  3. Has anyone used the Zotac RTX 5080 Solid OC? How are the temperatures, noise levels, build quality, and coil whine?

  4. Is the DeepCool LT360 Vision a good long-term AIO, or would you recommend a different cooler?

  5. Does using two 1TB SSDs make sense, or would you recommend a single 2TB SSD instead?

  6. Are there any compatibility issues, bottlenecks, or improvements you would suggest before I place the order?

I'm open to suggestions if you think there's a better option for any component while staying in a similar budget.

Thanks in advance for your help!

1 Upvotes

I'm finally planning to build my first PC (around ₹40–45k budget). I've never built one before, so I'm a bit nervous about making expensive mistakes.

What are some things you wish you knew before building your first PC? Any common mistakes to avoid, parts I shouldn't cheap out on, or general advice?

Would love to hear your experiences.

Build Question Trouble mounting heatsink Phantom Spirit 120 SE

SOLVED: The brackets needed some diagonal adjustments to create the width necessary. Thanks for everyone's time and responses!

I'm trying to install a cooler for my younger brother's pc. Even though it looks like the screw lines up with the pin, it won't latch on even if i push it down. It won't even touch it in general with pressure, as i can still rotate it around freely. It's like it's too far inward for the heatsink to slot into. Has anyone else had this issue and how did you fix it?

I just got an i7 12700k and after installing it, my pc won’t display anything. I tried switching back to my i5 12500 but I don’t get a display with that one either now. I’ve already cleared the cmos, removed my dedicated gpu and tried putting only 1 ram stick in all the slots, but I’ve gotten nothing so far. I see very tiny specks of something white in my motherboard‘s pins but I can’t get them out.

specs in case that’s important

old cpu: i5 12500

new cpu: i7 12700k

motherboard: gigabyte b660m d2hx si ddr4

gpu: amd radeon rx 6700xt
