UPDATE: I swapped in the new PSU and motherboard remained inaccessible. I took it to a pro for a second assessment, and they feel that the problem was with the Mobo all along. They tested all other components outside of the CPU and they were fine. They recommended replacing the Mobo with a...

Thank you for the response! The case does have dust filters onboard, and I have actually removed the dust filter from the side to allow better airflow around the GPU. There are some definite thermal issues to overcome with the case, but I do love it as it designed very ergonomically where you...

Greetings friends, I have recently put together my first ITX build, and am having some issues with temperature control. I am on my third mobo for this build (ASUS RogStrix Z690i) and my working theory right now is that the inherent temperature controls and heat dissapation on the Intel Arch...

I hope so! I just don't get what could go wrong with it though, pushing at 700W with "Plus Gold" efficiency. I wish I was an EE and could diagnose that better.. Anywho, new PSU is in house now and I will put it in today. Fingers crossed!

I hope so too! If not, I don't know what I am going to do. I guess I will flash the BIOS (even though it is updated) and start troubleshooting each component all over again. I think my ill-logic circuits will be fully kicked in at this point :)

Thank you! I did run the benchmark test but was unable to bookmark the link before the system crashed on me, for the final time. What I can remember, is that the benchmark data indicated that my components were Good to Very Good, with some running somewhat below expected benchmarks. Data on the...

Thank you for the reply. I have double-checked that BIOS version is up-to-date (11.01 as of 3/7/23). i do run CPUID HWMONITOR pretty regularly. With the cooling setup, I get pretty good temps for PC and Mobo that don't really go above 50c even when under load. That goes for almost all components...

This is my second PC build here, which is an ITX build using the new Hyte Revolt 3 case with included power supply. Unlike my last ATX build back in 2014, I am encountering numerous issues with this one. Most of which I have been able to overcome with a little bit of ingenuity and a lot of...
