My mobo is rather old so it lacks PWM controls so all the fans are running flat out, but they are not overly loud. Temps are excellent. The LEDs are not too bright and provide a nice ambiance.

I recently purchased these fans from Amazon.ca along with this fan hub: Red Fans Fan Hub The fans are currently $23.99 Canadian for 3 fans and the fan hub is $24.99.

No. Turns out to be a bad mobo. Tried two different cases, two PSUs, both stock air cooler and water cooler and two different GPUs. Same results, RBG comes on but that is literally all that happens.

I spent the day putting together my new build. When I power up the PSU, the RGB on the waterblock flickers for a fraction of a second then the RGB on the motherboard comes on and that is it. No Q-LEDs, no fans, nothing. I've verified all connections are good (26 pin, 8 pin, and 4 pin (both with...

I'd say give it a try with your Dad's PSU. That would at least eliminate the wattage question.

The RTX 2070 Super supports up to 4 monitors out of the box. Simply connect the monitors to the GPU then go into the display settings in Windows to configure the monitors. You can set each to work as an independent desktop or have the desktop span from one to the other. I'm not 100% certain...

The suggested mobo needs a cpu with integrated graphics which the CPU recommended does have. The suggested combo is actually pretty good if you aren't gaming at all and on a strict budget.

Yes. Just the thing. Thank you. I never thought of looking at PCIe adapters. I was thinking of something to make my round peg fit the square hole. Never occurred to me to add a round hole. Edit: Now if I could just figure out how to change the topic to solved...

I'll have to admit to some brand loyalty. I prefer ASUS motherboards, EVGA NVidia graphics, AMD CPUs and Corsair RAM. I did break with my preferences and recently bought a MSI GTX 1660 Super GPU and while I'm happy with the product, I'm less than pleased with the long wait for my rebate from MSI.

Are any other fans powering up? You have connected the 4 pin, 8 pin and 24 pin connectors? The CPU fan is plugged into the CPU fan header (the one on the left above the RAM slots)?

My bad. I thought it had a mesh front panel. I've just bought a Fractal Meshify-C myself as well as a Corsair Carbide SPEC-4. Both have excellent airflow.

I'd go with an x570 myself, just for the fact that AMD will most likely be using that chipset for future generations of CPUs. Not to mention that the M.2 SSDs are better supported on the X570s with PCIe 4.0. I'm just waiting on my ASUS TUF Gaming X570-Plus to be delivered this week. From what...

The 500W PSU should be fine. What about the monitor/cable to the monitor? Are you using the same ones to test on both machines? Opps. Just noticed the mobo was indicating an issue with the GPU. It really sounds like an issue with the power to the GPU. Are either PSU modular? Have you tried a...

Here's a pretty good general guide on how to flash your bios: How to Flash Bios Best of luck.

Most newer GPUs have native support for multi monitors. Simply connect a DP to each monitor. Edit: Oh, and be sure to turn on the 144Hz option on the monitors. Most are set to 60Hz by default.
