    [SOLVED] No USB Devices Found (Boots to BIOS) and SPDIF Out pin broken

    Well it turns out my SSD had become disconnected which had my OS on it. As soon as I plugged it back in everything started up as normal. I don't think I really need to fix the spdif out pin so will probably leave it.🆒

    [SOLVED] No USB Devices Found (Boots to BIOS) and SPDIF Out pin broken

    I haven't soldered in years but I think I still remember how to do it lol. Used to do for fixing synthesizer connections. Ya I removed all connections to it... Actually I didn't completely remove everything come to think of it. All I left in was the ARGB connection and sata power. Maybe I'll...

    [SOLVED] No USB Devices Found (Boots to BIOS) and SPDIF Out pin broken

    So I have a couple of issues here that occured during installation of a cooler master addressable RGB controller yesterday to use with the fans on my new case. After installing and connecting everything up, I was glad to see the RGB colors on the fans finally light up, but soon the fun was over...

    [SOLVED] Gtx 1660 or 1060.... New or second hand?

    Just looked at some of the 1050s and you know one of them might actually do the trick. The ti model seems like it's certainly capable of handling the witcher 3 and will do for my other needs as well.

    [SOLVED] Gtx 1660 or 1060.... New or second hand?

    My other hardware is an Asus z97-k and i7 4790k cpu. I was considering upgrading to the z97-a but not right now. I'd game at 1080p usually. When I say limited gaming I simply mean not 14 hours a day lol. Maybe a few hours a week when I want to take my mind off things! I'd like to be able to...

    [SOLVED] Gtx 1660 or 1060.... New or second hand?

    Does anyone have a recommendation on these? Have a budge of around €250 for graphics card and both the 1660 and 1060 fall within that. While the 1660 out performs the 1060 ever so much, I feel it may be more than what I need. Will be used for limited gaming and mostly for music, programming...

    [SOLVED] New case, CPU Cooler, Case Fans and PSU

    Some nice cases there. That NZXT case is actually really nice. Never really considered them but the 710i looks very impressive as well and one I may consider. Comes with RGB lighting as well!! I had looked at some of the cooler masters like the 500p, but looking at reviews it looks very cheap...

    [SOLVED] What is a good mouse in general ?????? Under $100

    I bought a Logitech MX Master 3 recently and absolutely love it. Cost €109. It's actually quite heavy, but feels like it's on air when you move it. The scroll wheel is amazing as it can be set to free flow, so is incredibly smooth. Has a great thumbwheel and two buttons by the thumb, which you...

The problem is the CPU cooler is incredibly loud and has been since day one. I initially ignored it, but it's...
