So, a bit of an update + some follow up questions: I tried to game a bit on the system yesterday, and the longest I got through my gaming sessions without the screen going black and fans going full blast was about 30 min. max. Sometimes the thing would happen right when I launch the game. I...

Thank you for the reply! Unfortunately I do not have an AIO_Pump header on my motherboard as it is rather old. The only 3 headers I have available are: one 4-pin CPU_FAN1, one 4-pin CHA_FAN1, and one 3-pin CHA_FAN2. The current setup is: AIO pump 3pin is plugged into the 4-pin CPU_FAN1 2...

@cyroburner Thank you for your tip! Although it doesn't sound like a cord vibrating sound, I will try it nonetheless!

Hello! I'm looking for some expert opinion on the noise that my HDD is making. In case its relevant, I recently upgraded my computer by replacing my CPU to (Ryzen 5 1600) mobo to (https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157762) RAM to...

Haha, adiec and Karadjgne, thank you for the continued responses! To be honest, the last 3-4 posts made by you guys went WAY over my head hahahaha. But from what Karadjgne said, it seems I should replace my PSU as well since it has been a good 6 years since I bought this model. So in order to...
