I added the new psu and everythings working fine!

Wow thanks the location of the lights correspond with that of the diagram thanks!

Hi guys, just today I got my replacement psu from rma. its a seasonic x series 650w if that matters. Anyway I install it, and everything is working fine but I notice, a bright orange light coming from the back of the motherboard. Unfortunately I have no idea if this light was present when the...

So you're saying not to go out of my way to ground at all?

Whats the safest method for grounding and handling the psu installation in my situation? My case is a corsair 400r btw and everything seems to be painted black

Hi i rma'd my psu and am getting a replacement tomorrow. I have to install it myself and have never done a build before. Im worried bout static charge as i have no esd mat or wristwrap. Ill be bulding on wood floor and a wood dining table. I see people on the threads arguing over the psu wall...

Pc is 8 months old btw and the mobo is gigabyte z97-hd3

Ok so saturday afternoon i press the power button on my computer and it doesnt turn on. I press it a few more times and nothing. So i switch off the psu from the back, unplug everything and check inside, everything looks normL so i replug everything and when i switch it on everything works. Then...

OK, update guys, i gave them my pc and this dude fixed it everything, he reapplyed thermal paste and secured the backplate onto the cooler. Also he fixed my gpu fan problem, it was because one of the fan wires was blocking one of the fans from spinning. Also, he apologized for the inconvenience...

Hold up guys, So with my strix 970 one of the fans doesn't work right, so i called them up for them to replace it and the retail dude who sold me the parts told me that he nagged the builder to install the backplate properly cuz the retail dude himself has the 212 evo and on his pc and he said...

what i mean is will I have to take my cpu cooler off the mobo inorder to install the backplate or can i just remove the nuts from the back then put the backplate in then put the nuts back on?

damn well ill prob mount the backplate myself, but i'll need to buy new screws for the cpu cooler cuz they said the screws used were not long enough to pass through mobo, backplate and the nuts and you guys said they replaced the screws cuz they should be long enough so i don't have the proper...

In response to karadjgne: So when u mean traces do u mean like the straight lines going thru the mobo that sometimes come in pairs. And that if they arent covering any traces then i shud be good? Cuz if so then its settled as i csn just get an aio liquid cooler down line and stico with this for...

Thnx guys for the links but in in them we see that the cpu is in the middle so installing the cooler wudnt be a proble but what i dont get is why in my mobo pic the coolr standoffs are partially covered by the cutout and half of the cutout is just open space like the board doesnt cover the whole...

Also if they used different screws than what was included with the pc (As I gave them the parts bought from their store (they are legit parts btw)) then I can't actually use the original screws and they literally use whats their and only include discs, manuals and modular power cables in the...
