Can I rotate a Noctua NH-U9S 90 degrees? I rebuilt my pc in an htpc case and case fans are only oriented from left to right. The Noctua cooler blows towards the back. Can the mount or fan orientation be rotated 90 degrees and if so how?? i5 8600k EVGA 3070sc Asus z370-f 32 Gb Corsair Vengeance...

No tingling at all

Recently when trying to boot up my computer by pushing the tower's power button, the system starts for a brief second then goes off completely. The fans, LEDs, etc come on for that partial second then everything goes off. If I turn off the PSU then wait a few seconds, then turn back on at the...

I recently upgraded my build from an intel 8600k to a Ryzen 5600x, NZXT X53 AIO, Asus b500-f mobo. My idle temps on the Ryzen build are around 45-48c and 58-64 at load. Is this normal even for an AIO?? (Not stock paste) What temps are normal for an 5600x at load? I’m asking because the older...

No I did not reinstall windows

I recently installed a new motherboard, cpu and ram. According to hwmonitor the ram is reaching temps over 200c. Should I be worried? The other temps are OK. CPU running around 49c and the motherboard about the same temp as CPU. Is this a glitch in the hwmonitor software? Asus B550-f AMD Ryzen...

Hi. Thanks for responding. I would like to get $750 for it. I do not have a garage, as you suggested. Although, for others sounds like a good idea. I have a very small house, but do have an equally small, screened front porch. Not sure I even want buyers to come to my house, although it would...

I just built a new PC and want to sell it. What are some good practices to follow? I know not to accept checks or money orders, but what about PayPal? Plus, if I only deal in cash (which I would normally prefer), how do I deal with having that much cash on myself or the other person. Worried...

I have the itch to build another pc, and this will be the first one I'd put up for sale. It's going to be an entry-level gaming/ Ryzen APU build and would like to market it as a Ryzen upgrade path for entry-level gaming. So no GPU. I'd like to go local and deal in cash. But how do I warranty or...

I recently ran Prime 95 on my i5 8600K. Cores are not locked. And the second core consistently ran at 25-30% when the other 5 cores were at 100%. Cooling seemed fine and the overall tests did complete, just later on that specific core. But, why is this happening? I prevously ran the chip with...
