    Help With First PC Build

    That's a rough one to diagnose. I have that same case and love it. I've looked at some reviews on that motherboard and notice a lot of others having the same issue. I think you got a bad motherboard. However, I wouldn't rule it out just yet. What RAM do you have installed?

    How much weight can a motherboard support?

    The motherboard should be able to handle the weight no problem. However, the CRYORIG H7 cooler would be a lighter option for you if you are concerned with the weight. It is a great cooler and only weighs about 1.3 lbs.

    Usb 3.0 ports not working properly Win 10

    Have you checked for a BIOS update? From what I read you plugged the mouse and keyboard into the USB 3.0 ports that were not working with the external drive or iPhone?
