And BIOS version F19.

It's a Gigabyte B550 DS3H motherboard. EDIT: B550M to be exact, the micro-ATX model. EDIT 2: Rev (1.0)

My friend recently grabbed a brand new Ryzen 9 5950x to replace his 3600, and he wanted to get cracking at overclocking it ASAP. So we used Ryzen Master, the program that overclocked his original 3600, and it ended being a spectacular failure. Not sure if his specific processor just came short...

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...
