    Question Stuffing silica gel sachets inside the protective bags of GPUs and case fans ?

    Question Stuffing silica gel sachets inside the protective bags of GPUs and case fans ?

    Thanks for assuring that. I was worried cuz all fans are bought from AliExpress as they're not available in local pc parts retailers, so if one unit fails it'll be a lot of hassle (shipping fees etc.) during warranty claims. Fortunately all fans arrived in sealed packs as I bought them from...

    Question Asus Z590 Motherboard - PC won't boot, green BOOT LED & white VGA LED stay lit ?

    Yeah I checked twice, all connections are firmly in place. As you said, this behavior may be caused by a bugged BIOS. I will try updating the BIOS to latest version. Performed CMOS reset several times, before removing and also after the removal of GPU. Clearing CMOS should reset the BIOS...

    Question Asus Z590 Motherboard - PC won't boot, green BOOT LED & white VGA LED stay lit ?

    So I tried to turn on my system today morning, but it didn't boot. It didn't give any display and just stayed with a constant white light. Performed several hard-restarts from casing with no luck. As user manual states this to be a GPU issue, I removed GPU and checked with integrated graphics...
