    [SOLVED] PCI card shield touches GPU backplate, could something bad happen?

    What if my PSU isn't grounded? Wall plugs in my house have only 2 pins, the middle one isn't present. I know it's bad but would it be worse in this particular case?

    [SOLVED] PCI card shield touches GPU backplate, could something bad happen?

    The WiFi card part that touches are actual the back part, where you screw to the case, not any component. Also the backplate seems metal too. It's a xfx gts Rx 580 if it matters

    [SOLVED] PCI card shield touches GPU backplate, could something bad happen?

    Hi, I've bought a WiFi card / wlan and the back of it touches my GPU backplate. I have to push it just a bit, not hard for it to align, and this makes my GPU back moves like a millimeter up (I guess it goes more straight since there's more force on the front). Would the metal parts touching...

    [SOLVED] Can I fix my CM Sikleflow?

    [SOLVED] Low results in 3DMark Time Spy with GTX 970M

    Seems to be normal. Maybe you're comparing to desktop 970 or to Fire Strike which is more popular and less demanding than Time Spy. Just googled and other results are similar to yours. https://www.3dmark.com/spy/20903 https://www.3dmark.com/spy/81497 https://www.3dmark.com/spy/554586

    [SOLVED] I bought a new (sealed) Ryzen 1600 but it looks used

    I have just got a Ryzen 5 1600, a new one (made in 2016), sealed box with amd sticker intact on top and bottom. The problem is that it looks kind of "dirty" and the copper plate on the heatsink looks oxidated. Is it normal? The thermal compound also looks bad, but, well, it's from 2016, it...
