Cooler Master MWE Gold 550 V2 PSU Thank you very much for confirming, Then I can eliminate that possibility Corsair RM850x V3 850W All cables are new and included with the corsair PSU. Is there a real possibility of power cable damage caused by transportation/ESD? This step was just to...

I bought a computer second hand and it was sent to me by post, and yes, that was probably a bad idea, no need to comment that 😂 sender did not unmount any components, it was sent as is, in one piece. It seemed to be OK packing and I cannot see any visible damages. When I plug it in, there is no...

So that means 12th-generation CPUs would be better paired with DDR4 RAM? How much of a difference are we talking about here, and how would it affect the overall experience? If I can get the price down a bit, the 13700 build would be around 50% more expensive. Might opt for it, if the DDR5...

I can get an upgrade package with: 12900K ASUS ROG STRIX B760-F GAMING WIFI (V2) G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB DDR5-6000 BK C36 DC - 32GB Phanteks Glacier One 360 D30 It will be cheaper than the suggested corresponding parts(9286 vs 6999), but not matching in performance. Will it be worth it? I might...

Tyvm for the reply :) Any thoughts on sticking with DDR4 and if I would be loosing out, and how about a liquid cooler? Never had one, but sounds cool ;) Cheers

Thank you very much for the reply. With regards to the CPU, will there be a bottleneck if I go for a i5 13600 or 13500? Will I be experiencing a notable difference? Benchmarking, suggests the increase in performance does not match the price increase, but I am not an expert benchmark reader...

Dear all, I will be upgrading my system and would very much appreciate any input on my thoughts here :) My old build is now ancient and I cannot invest time in troubleshooting, so I am upgrading. Old Build: OS: Windows 10 Pro 64bit Monitor: AOC 27" something 1080p 144Hz Motherboard: ASUS...

I cannot get that far. I can select boot devices and bios seems to be ok, but the furthest I get is that it say it is preparing to repair and gets no further than that.

Hey, I have revoked my own PC building license with immediate effect after I managed to remove my RAM for swapping before I removed the input power. So yes, this was plain stupidity from my side, no need to amplify that, but I would very much like some pointers for my coming troubleshooting...

Cheers! W10 stays then :) Thank you all for the valuable insight.
