Due to working from home, my house is currently making use of 5 or 6 powerline adapters, with one being plugged into the router and the rest plugged into various home offices and gaming systems because the connectivity in the house is abysmal so wi-fi is off the cards. However, some of these...

I am letting it dry other night just to make sure and I have cleaned all the paste off and have some new thermal paste ready. Thanks :)

I managed to get it off using a lot of alcohol and a sharp thin blade however I'm worried some of the alcohol may of gotten underneath the lead of the CPU as there seem to be a few small gaps. Is this fine or could this cause problems in the future? It was prebuilt

Helping my friend out by installing a new motherboard and I was taking off the heatsink and it wouldn't come off at all even with all the screws unscrewed and it took a lot of force to take off and it came off with the CPU and I didn't even undo the latch however all the CPU pins aren't bent so...

Turns out it was my PSU which had exploded and replacing the PSU with a higher watt and better rated PSU has so far fixed it

Overclocked my 2600x using ryzenmaster and now my pc wont turn on even though the motherboard has power. The power is turned on at the back, my motherboard rgb light is on, ive removed and put back in the cmos battery, ive shorted the mobo with the 2 pins and it still wont turn on. Specs: 2600x...

Firstly, sorry if this is the wrong place and secondly I'm from the UK. The specs are an i5 4690k, 8GB DDR3 RAM, GTX 970, Aerocool XPREDATOR X1 Case, 600W PSU, ASROCK Z97 Anniversary, Coolermaster Hyper 212 EVO, however, it would have no storage because I will be reusing that in my new PC. The...
