So the question is a bit off-putting, considering the VG249Q should still be a decent choice even now. (At least based on what I've read in the last couple of hours) In my panic over contemplating how long Black Friday deals actually last online, I ordered one for $130 after searching for...

To him, getting a remedy for the damage is not the solution, it would just be buying new components, thus why I asked, so in the event such a malfunction was to occur he'd be able to promptly replace the component. Although, thanks for all your help!

So just clear signs of malfunction would ultimately be the red flag that something is damaged, correct? If so, any examples of big malfunctions that could arise?

By the way, how would he go about testing his components to see if they've been damaged? I also had recommended for his father's build an EVGA 750 BQ for his 5600X and 1660 Super when they built it, the PSU is nothing special according to the Tomshardware review, but it should be decent, right?

I was actually considering the Corsair RM850x, decided if I was gonna recommend him one, it'd be one that was actually good, at least according to this website.

Goodness, I never thought it could be that bad when I put together his part list, speaking of which, could a bad PSU really affect the components of a PC if a surge or anything bad hasn't happened? That aside, would you recommend an EVGA SuperNOVA G1+ 850W or a SuperNOVA GA 850W? (Or any...

I am a tad bit reluctant to follow that guide as some of the information seems a bit.. off? It states that an RTX 3070 only needs a single 8-pin connector, when I clearly can see on my friend's model that it needs two (MSI Gaming GeForce RTX 3070 LHR 2 Fan), is this type of discrepancy normal?

Hello again! My friend is upgrading his 1660 to a new RTX 3070 that's on its way in the mail, just one slight issue, I forgot about his power supply. His build is packing an EVGA N1 550W PSU, though I have no worries that it'll be able to power a 220W card running a Ryzen 3600 alongside it, as...

No dice. We even switched to his old GPU to ensure that the VGA adapter cable wasn't the issue, it worked perfectly fine. I rechecked what the beep code means on the old ASUS Service website, and it means that there's no VGA detected. Since we've deduced that the issue wasn't the RAM, the BIOS...

I got him to update it to the latest BIOS update from November. of last year, it still doesn't show a display during POST. Now I'm going to have him reconfirm the beep code he's hearing and then get him to reseat his GPU, see how it'll go from there.

A friend of mine in the UK is now getting a beep code from his ASUS PRIME A320M-K motherboard after installing a new Gigabyte GTX 1660 and a ARESGAME 650w power supply. He first installed the PSU and booted up the system with no problems whatsoever, it wasn't until he installed the 1660 into the...

His current specs are: CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 3.6 GHz 6-Core Processor CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 RGB Black Edition 57.3 CFM CPU Cooler Motherboard: Gigabyte B550M DS3H Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard Memory: OLOy WarHawk RGB 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Memory Storage: Crucial P1 1 TB...

Hello! So my friend is considering upgrading his PC to a 5950x and a RTX 3060. He's running a Gigabyte B550 DS3H motherboard, two 8gb DDR4 sticks, and a 1TB SSD. The system is being powered by an EVGA 550w PSU, will that be enough to run both of those upgrades, or will he have to upgrade his...

Actually, we just booted up the system and found out the BIOS version is in fact F10, meaning it supports Ryzen 5th Gen out of the box and we are able to install Windows and get the PC set up, will update it to F13 soon though.

Hello again! My friend is currently in process of finishing up his build, however, since I was taking a nap while he was building, I forgot to tell him that he'd most likely need to use BIOS flashback in order for it to be compatible with his 5600X. Would he be able to use Q-Flash Plus on the...
