Would it be ok to just leave it as it is? I don't want to be without a PC for about 2 weeks.

I have the XFX 650W 80 Plus Gold Black Edition PSU, I've had it for less than a year and it now seems to be making a quiet buzzing sound. I can hear it for about a minute and then it disappears and reappears after about 30s. This is with hybrid mode on (fan doesn't spin until it needs to). When...

My computer is very loud, I have 2 LED 120mm fans which use 3-pin fan connectors and I can have them at 50% - 100%. I also have a molex 120mm fan and 2x molex 90mm fans and I can't control these molex fans at all. I have a very quiet CPU cooler, no GPU and my PSU fan doesn't spin at all until it...

I have the Z87-G45 and I've downloaded everything in Live Update 5 but I still have the old 1.60 version of the BIOS (latest is 1.70). Everyone says that updating with Live Update 5 bricks their Motherboard so it's probably good that the files have not installed. Also someone said that updating...

I've got a fully modular PSU and I'm trying to plug it into the PSU not the mobo.

I still can't push it all in!!!! It goes in easily but then I can't push it in any more, I can still see the pins.

I did that, it's 1,2,3,4 from the left isn't it? Most people say you need the 4th pin so you can control the fan.

I have the 650B-BEFX and I've pushed most of the cables in so I can't see the pin like things anymore but the largest one I can still see them and I can't really push it in any more.
