I’m using integrated graphics for now, and have tried both of the sticks by themselves in each of the slots. I don’t have the bios update for eleventh gen, but do you think that would prevent me from getting into the bios altogether? I’m testing my ram later today on my friend’s computer to make...

My specs CPU - Intel i5 11400 Mobo - Msi z490 Gaming Plus Psu - EVGA 600 BR Ram - OLOy Warhawk DDR4 2x8 gb 3000 mz Case - NZXT H510 I am putting together a build and every time I turn it on the computer, I get nothing on my display and the DRAM light comes on the motherboard debug. I have...

I also want to confirm that a four pin connector on the cooler will have no issues connecting to a 3 pin socket

I am looking at this CPU cooler from Amazon and it should work perfectly for my needs so long as the TDP is high enough. Is there any way to determine if this will be sufficient for my CPU. AMD Athlon x 2 7750 is my CPU. Thanks!

I don’t have the original cooler though, I only have a broken Corsair liquid cooler. So would this cooler provide passable temps only using it as a media device?

It’s about 160 mm from the MOBO to the back of the case

The case is that of a Gateway Dx 4300-05

I wanted to go with the most inexpensive cooler that would work because it’s probably not worth dumping too much money on expensive components.

Both, do you have any better suggestions?

The CPU is an AMD Athlon x2 7750 and the cooler I’m looking at is the ARCTIC Alpine 64 GT Rev. 2 CPU Cooler listed Here on Newegg

I’m looking at an aftermarket CPU that is 70 tdp, but my CPU is 95 tdp. I only plan on using this pc for media, will this cooler work for my cpu or do I need a higher tdp cooler?

It’s an old gateway dx 4300-05 that we had lying around our basement. Inside there is the Corsair water cooler and a different psu. All of the other components are the same as what came factory with the computer. I am trying to get it back up and running to use as a media center. I will order a...

I have a Corsair h50 water cooler that I think is broken or clogged. Every time I startup my PC, it goes into the BIOS and tells me there needs to be repairs to launch windows or I can launch windows normally. However, after maybe 30 seconds, the CPU overheats (the system says 120 degrees C)...
