Due to the age of the card then it will almost certainly be second hand and so the treatment of the card would be of more concern than the brand to me. I have not heard of that brand before tbh. Where are you located? Also worth noting that the card also no longer receives driver support as a...

Does this happen if you remove the second set of ram you installed? The RAM may look the same make and model but corsair are notorious for switching the manufacturer of the chips between versions within the same product line

The 4 pin Pwm connector is to go onto the cpu header on the motherboard. This is mainly due to some motherboards requiring this to be plugged it to allow the system to boot (ensuring a cpu fan is connected as a safety procedure) The split usb 9 pin/ sata connector are for the control of the...

Are we sure the cpu is not memory training which makes it look like the system isn't booting? How long did you give the system before rebooting as this procedure can take a little while sometimes

In isolation and depending on what you paid for the 5070 it is not a bad card. A lot of the negative reviews come from it not being much of an uplift from the 40 series cards - especially the 4070 super which is very close in performance. In addition the 12gb of vram is also a criticism levelled...

John Pye is quite big in the UK. Originally based out of Nottingham but nationwide now. A lot of the electrical items are from returns and shop closures etc. You can grab some great bargains on there. I recently bought a corsair Link 360mm titan cooler and 10 Link RX 120mm fans from them and...

As mentioned it is very difficult and laborious to get things returned to John Pye. In the my invoices section of the site it retains the images from the original Lot. I would download these and attach when raising a case with them alongside the images you have taken of the cpu next to a valid...

I use john pye regularly and often spot wrong cpu's in advertised boxes but this is particularly bad! Getting stuff returned to them is a nightmare although if you keep pushing I have had them take stuff back where it has been damaged or not as described. Can take a while though! Did the cpu...

If it is ebay then you do have some coverage should there be an issue. Still the usual risks of buying second hand and the level of honesty of the previous owner, but I have always had good experiences with the right due diligence. If it was somewhere like Facebook marketplace I would avoid...

Where are you buying it from? I assume second hand but is from a reputable source?

Can you list you exactly specs including motherboard model, ram including speed and latency, psu model and wattage and cooler.

I feel that you would be better served having an additional fan on the bottom of the case bringing some additional air in. That case looks like a bit of a hotbox and you have a high negative pressure system with a lot more exhaust than intake. if you don't have a spare fan try and move the...

That Zalman case looks like quite an old case and I am not sure the airflow is particularly great. You mentioned you had 4 fans but in what configuration? I can only see options for 1 fan on the front which is partially obscured by the drive cage frame and 1 at the bottom for inlets. It seems...

Motherboard you have chosen only supports DDR4 but you have chosen DDR5 memory. You will need to swap one of them for compatibility. I would suggest going the DDR5 route

OK so from looking around these are auxiliary sensors which are likely not connected and so do give a false reading. It seems this will apply to all your AUXTIN readings which explains why they do not move temperature at all. Apologies for setting any alarm bells off
