Long story short PC doesn't post,ruled out every other thing and it's either a faulty mobo on arrival or I've somehow damaged it in the assembling/troubleshooting process. Weird thing is,I've now reached a point where ,if the CPU(Ryzen 5 3400G) is properly seated with the socket latch...

Side by side comparasion and they both look the same in terms of thickness.Opened the card up a few times after that and the thermal paste spread evenly,and ,as I said,there is a difference in terms of temps so I assume it`s making proper contact.

Im using the Noctua NT-H1.I just assumed something must be wrong because of the ~15C delta between my friends legit 580 and my 480(both Sapphire Nitro ,and Im pretty sure its the same heatsink design),yeah I know there`s a difference between his real 580 which was designed and tested to run at...

So I got a used Sapphire 480 Nitro OC from a local retailer.The card was pretty disgusting,with some black grimey stuff(from the previous owner being a smoker I guess?) on most of the heatsink and heatpipes,I cleaned it as best as I could,apart from some really incovenient areas the heatsink...

I`m planning on getting a Vega 56 in the following months.I currently have a 1050Ti which satisfies my needs in most scenarios,but I`d really like to take full advantage of my 1440p 144Hz Freesync monitor,(way overkill for my system but since I was upgrading from a 1280x1024 monitor and it was...

I cleaned my monitor a couple of hours ago using a cleaning solution advertised as suitable for TVs & monitors, it carries a "no alcohol" label and some cotton cloths, a kind of a kit made by the same company. While it definetly did its job and got rid of some stains and residue on the...

I`m using a R5 1600,paired with the GA AB350 Gaming 3,using the stock Wraith Spire cooler.Also,I recently installed the latest Ryzen drivers(ver. 17.10 if I`m not mistaken) and started using the Ryzen Balanced power plan instead of High Performance,which I have previously been using.The issue...

I'm looking to build a Ryzen 5 1600 PC and can't really decide on the mobo I should go with.Which of these would be better:Gigabyte AB350 Gaming 3 or the MSI B350 Tomahawk.The main features I'm looking for are memory support(since Ryzen really benefits from higher clocked RAM),sound chipset...

Hello.I`m looking to build a new system,(probably) using a R5 1600.I`ve seen a fair share of benchmarks(of Ryzen 7,but given that they`re the same chip physiccally,I assume that the situation would be similar) and in most of them people have had problems with getting higher frequencies(at least...

I`m looking to upgrade my old PC,bit by bit,since I can`t really get all the parts at once.I`m looking to swap my old AMD HD 6570 for a new nVidia card.I`d honestly go for the 1060(3GB) since I`ve seen that it`s quite a bit better than the 1050TI,being able to play most games @1080p on Ultra...
