I checked the MOBO manual right now, and yeah, it does explain the Q-LED. Q-LED (CPU [red], DRAM [yellow], VGA [white], Boot Device [yellow green]) Considering this, looks like you have problems with VGA and Boot Device. Pull back and reinsert in the slots and test. Reinsert cables and test.

Hi, Your mobo has a Q-LED to give some POST information. Have you checked it?

If you use an smartphone, you are already been under surveillance all the time. They know where you are exactly, they heard you actively through your mic, they know what are your desires, ambitious, behavior... They know everything. So, why bother?

Both idle and full load? Anyway, I think it is a tiny and short term gain compared to the increase of potential dust and higher temps in mid to long term.

Off-topic: I am glad that I am not the only one who stockpile a bunch of useless and ancient cables. :)

Hey guys, quick question here... I have 2 sticks of SSD M2 Samsung 980 EVO Pro 500gb (yeah could be only 1 of 1gb, but it's not, anyway). Should I keep 2 separated drivers or should I go to raid 0? The PC use is 100% games. No work, no studies, no important files at all. I would like to hear...

Really? This rig should be at the top 3% PC of the world... I know that is your first time building a PC, but this question is almost an offense for common people.

Is it possible to share a photo of the inside of your PC case?

What header haver you connect the case cables?

Right! Well, for safety, I will set ir to PWM in BIOS. Thank you so much! Have a great upcoming weekend!

Hey Paperdoc, thanks for your reply! Yeah, after some readings I've decided to set the PUMP "FAN" fom dynamic (smart fan mode, with sliders stuff) to steady speed (full), desabling the smart fan mode. Something in your statement is intriguing me, because the PUMP "FAN" is set as DC, not PWM...

Yeah buddy, I decided to use the smart fan mode ON for the pump fan, but some adjustments on the sliders were needed. Anything below 40% of fan voltage wasn't doing the fan to spin. So, for the pump fan the first of four stages is a bit higher than the first stage for the CPU fan, the other 3...

BIOS Ver E7C80IMS.1CO - 06/11/2022 and yes, the System Fans are working fine. Acctualy I don't know if there is a real problem with the fan. To be honest, I am just looking for a efficient setup. Minutes ago I execute some tests and observations on PUMP Fan screen: 1st step - Smart Fan Mode...

Hey! Recently I got a Cooler Master Liquid Cooler ML240L V2 ARGB and it is attached to MOBO MSI Maz Z490 Tomahawk. In BIOS > Hardware Monitoring Menu, the CPU Fan (4-Pin PWM Connector - obviously) is set to Smart Fan Mode ON by default. So far so good. My question is related to the PUMP FUN...

Probably yes. I will look for that. What is intriguing me is that win11 is bypassing the BIOS settings, because in BIOS these fans are set to full speed.
