I have the rog strix z370-h gaming mobo and it only has 2 fan headers. I have 5 fans already installed on the chasis, but 2 of them are not connected due to no more fan connections on the mobo. These are led fans with 3 pins. Will this 4 pin adapter work on my 3 pin led fans, Even if the...

Got it working randomly worked by removing ps2 keyboard and attaching usb keyboard

I put together my first build in over 5 years, but I'm having trouble. I have a crucial ssd installed that works on my old pc. When I power on the new build the light stays on (green ) indicating a boot failure. I tried removing the battery to clear cmos for 1-5 minutes but it's still the same...

I bought a nice used gtx 1070 3 fan gigabyte gpu, a 15 8400 card, 8gbs of ddr4 and a mobo. I spent maybe 400-450$ for this setup. I am now living off bologna sandwiches for the new 2 weeks :p. Once I get my paycheck I want to invest in a decent 1440p 144hz monitor without breaking the bank...

Thank you very much William p, I wanted people to understand that fitting a psu was not the concern. I wanted to know if an external gpu with an adapter would work on the 7040 sff. The rig already comes with 8gbs ddr4 and an i7 6700 which is a good deal at 300$ when all I need is a PSU+adapter...

My question is, would upgrading the PSU without swapping out the board be an option? Do I need to a better motherboard, why and why not? Is it that this motherboard is not sufficient enough to support a 1060 equipped with a higher watt psu? It does have a pcie slot. My budget is limited to...

I've come across a used Optiplex 7040 sff for 300$. I find it to be a better deal then buying each component separately. It comes w/ And i7 6700 and 8gbs of ddr4 ram, but only 180 watts of PSU. I am wanting to upgrade this PC to be a gaming PC. I already own a 1060 gtx and a 475 psu but...
