Yeah, it's more quantity over quality these days...

Why do you keep uploading these CPU/GPU reviews in the news section? Also this format is really horrible. The browser on my tablet keeps crashing multiple times and I need to scroll all the article (which is huge) in order to find the parts that I need over and over. Please bring the old format...

The Ryzen 4000 APUs are using the Zen 2 architecture not the Zen 3. In fact the Ryzen 5000 APUs (Zen 3) haven't even been anounced yet.

Hmm this cooler design is pretty strange. It seems like some kind of push-pull design and the PCB should be shorter than usual in order for the rear fan to be placed there. In fact the PCB could follow the X design and end like that <

The B460 is a new upcoming INTEL chipset and not an AMD one. The correct AMD chipset is the B450 or the new B550.

The HDMI ports in most laptops are almost always connected to the iGPU (integrated graphics). However you can also use the GTX 1060 for graphics output in your monitor. You just have to select the GTX 1060 as the default GPU for all (or specific) tasks in the Windows graphics settings (or the...

It depends on the specific motherboard and each component has different temp limits. The chipset normally ranges between 40-50 C but the VRM can reach over 80 C and most motherboards throttle or shut down/restart close to 100 C. What motherboard temp readings are you getting? Also are you using...

Undo the CPU overclocking and return the CPU to its stock normal clocks. You may be over-stressing the motherboard VRM with that overclock. If that solves the issue then your overclocking ambitions were higher than your components could handle. You have to lower your expectations but first you...

Please post your complete system specs. Also have you been monitoring the CPU temp? This points to an overheating issue or something is going on with the motherboard.

In order to properly inspect the motherboard you have to also check its back side. Maybe the damage lies there and it's not visible when the motherboard is inside the case. Therefore you have to remove it from the chassis and take a look at that side and especially under the PCIe slot that you...

OK try a different PSU and post the results. This issue points to a sort circuit somewhere or a motherboard (or BIOS) failure. I've also seen sorted graphics cards, RAM sticks, HDDs or even bad USB devices that can cause this system behaviour. Therefore you have to remove everything from the...

Are you sure that you managed to successfully clear the CMOS? Have you removed the battery? Also what PSU do you have? Have you tried testing with another PSU?

It looks like something went wrong during the BIOS update procedure or the BIOS somehow got corrupted. You have to make sure that the update has completed successfully before turning off the system. Likely your motherboard supports a feature called USB BIOS Flashback and you have to use it in...

OK. Install the CPU (and its cooler) and RAM. You don't need to install any drives (SSD or HDD). If the CPU has a working iGPU you don't need a separate graphics card, so plug the monitor to one of the motherboard display connectors. Plug the PSU power cables (ATX and EPS) to the motherboard...

You have to install another compatible CPU in order to update the BIOS and if you don't have one at your disposal you can't do the update. Therefore you should return the motherboard to where you bought it and have them update it for you or get another motherboard, as someone has already said...
