Ok, but can your existing hardware push frames at 1440p at greater than 60 Hz?

when you alt-tab to the desktop, the gpu is no longer rendering 3d graphics, so the gpu usage goes down, gpu clock goes down, power usage goes down, temp goes down, etc. That's normal. The coil whine is going to scale with the gpu usage/clock frequency. You can try a different psu to see if...

fwiw, afterburner is reading 0mV because that is an offset. it should read 0mV if you are not manually boosting/cutting the voltage, so the reading that OP is getting in afterburner looks to be normal. let me amend that because my statement is incorrect. it is possible you haven't turned on...

if they are random dots spread around the whole screen it is possibly a bad video cable (noise during data transmission). try a different hdmi or displayport cable. Speaking of noise, it could also be something else plugged in nearby that is sending noise (air conditioner, etc). Try shutting...

You should never "just try old cables" from the old PSU because the damage happens instantly if the old cables are not compatible with the new psu. However, it seems OP already had a problem with the SSD before trying the old cables, or am I missing something here? In any event, yeah, you may...

Try disconnecting the front panel audio at the motherboard header and see if the rear audio works. There could be a short somewhere along that path.

The SPDIF optical out jack is always lit - that's what sends the light down the toslink cable. The mere fact that it's lit doesn't tell us anything about whether there's a problem with the audio line out jack. However, if you can get a working signal from the optical output it would be a good...

The new PSU has modular cables? If the psu came with more than one SATA power cable, try a different one. Maybe the one you are using is defective and has a short in it. As you have already stated, only use the cables that came with your new PSU.

If your speakers are not the Pebble Plus model, then you don't have the "RCA to subwoofer" cable as shown in the above pic that @kerberos_20 linked to. I do not see a line-out on the sub, so you cannot connect the Pebble speakers to the sub for a signal source. You must get a 1/8" TRS splitter...

Cracked open? Do you mean to say that the part is actually broken? Sounds like you snapped off the plastic tabs that hold the screen bezel in place, or if they are still intact they are not aligned with the receptacle that they are supposed to mate with. Maybe look at this video and tell us...

OK, thanks for the quick replies! I didn't see any release notes in the zip file I downloaded - it's literally just the BIOS file. On the BIOS D/L page there are links to instructions for BIOS install, but it seems to show generic instructions and no mention of requiring in-between updates...

Maybe I'm being overly cautious here, but can I skip in-between BIOS versions and just update to the latest? My currently installed version is 1.10 and available newer versions are 1.20, 1.50, 1.60, 1.80, 2.00, and 2.10. OK to cut straight to v2.10? I have an Asrock B550 Phantom...

Seems like that mic is designed to plug into the 1/8" (3.5mm) mic input commonly found on the PC, so it should "just work" for you. I can't find any detailed info like a PDF user manual or spec sheet, though. Can you link to one? You might want to adjust your record level. Can you describe...

If your fan's starting temperature is 60c and your GPU cooler can't passively keep temp below 60c then the fans will have to turn on. Things that affect GPU temp are % usage, GPU rad size, temp inside the case, room temp, fan speed, etc. You can try to improve case temp somehow, but if you...

First problem is with your fan curve. The fans need an instant start, so if you want them to start at 60c then you should make a straight line vertically from 60c/0% to 60c/40%. From there you can slope the fan curve upward and to the right. Next, add 5c to 10c hysteresis to prevent rapid...
