Hello everyone, I recently had some issues with my PC where my GPU died but finally got it back up and running with a replacement GPU and a new (used) CPU. The only downside is that the USB 3.0 ports on the rear of the motherboard (GIGABYTE GA-970A-DS3P) has stopped working. It will power...

Hello there, I use an FX-8350 with ASUS Crosshair V Formula Motherboard and I want to increase the HT Link speed. How do I go about increasing the voltage? I’ve searched around the BIOS and I’m stuck on this last part to overclock as I don’t see any voltage to tweak in regards to HT Link. I’ve...

As the title says, the left side of the soundbar is completely silent after making a motherboard change. The soundbar being defective is ruled out as I have tested this on two other devices and the left side sounds completely fine so it's clearly not the device at fault. What could be the...

I'm mining crypto. the board is ga 970a ds3. has a fx 8350. I used 2 of those pcie x1 to 4 USB cards to connect 6 GPUs to this motherboard (working fine). When I added a 7th gpu, the board refuses to boot. no post beep, no video, nothing. The board does not post after I unplugged the...

Hello all, my wife is currently using an old gaming PC of mine and it's safe to say it's on it's last legs. With the components being nearly 10 years old (AM3+ setup), you can understand it struggles to run games at good graphics. The issue I do have though currently is a relatively new HDD...

Hi, recently my old motherboard died and so I had to get a new one. Having AMD Fx-8350, I looked for AM3+ motherboard, I found Gigabyte GA-M68MT-S2 rev 3.1, which is AM3+ motherboard, but sadly I didn't check compatibility and although it supports AM3+ not all of them seem to be "compatible". I...

I tried installing 2 sticks of DDR3 memory taken from an AMD AM3+ system on a Gigabyte B85M-HD3 motherboard. Which is an Intel system board of LGA1150 socket and it was working fine prior to this. The system booted into Windows successfully with each of those modules installed one at a time...

Upgrading my rig from 7 years ago soon, hopefully to a Ryzen 5000 series CPU coming from my i5 4670k. I don't know if AMD will include a cooler with their new cpus but my current cooler is a Hyper 212 Evo that is still giving me pretty good temps to this day so was thinking of just re-using it...

My friend's pc gave a bluescreen numerous times, about two weeks ago. Now the thing does not even post anymore. All fans are spinning, (GPU, CPU, and case). (edit) The USB ports do have power. I have tried switching the ram sticks around, I have tried removing the GPU and other components not...

Sorry in advance if this is in the wrong category, I really don't know if this is a more motherboard or GPU issue. I've been having a strange compatibility issue with my Asrock 970m Pro3 and a Firepro W4100. Upon my first attempt to post I was met with a five short beep code. Asrock says this...

So I am currently using AMD FX 4300. I was planning to upgrade to either FX 6300, 8300, 8320 or even 8350. These are the chips that my motherboard supports. They are really cheap in my country and I only use my PC for gaming. Is it worth it upgrading to a better FX?

Hi, I have an old build left at my parents house, which had an FX-8320 on a high end board, cannot remember what board other than it was AM3+. Would it be possible to remove the FX-8320 and replace with Ryzen 5 2600? Probably not possible, but worth me asking and considering before spending a...

Hello everyone! So im wondering and thinking of upgrading my PC, my question is that should I upgrade FX-6300 to R3 1200? (38€) I know that Ryzen has faster single- and multicore speed, but im playing kinda heavy games like Division 2, Fallout 4 and 76, Apex, WWZ etc. so is Ryzen lacking cores...

I placed AM3+ CPU inside AM3 socket (no pin was broken!), and powered the PC (which didn't boot). Will the CPU still work in a AM3+ socket (on another motherboard)?

I have a FX 8150 and the motherboard died (asrock 970 extreme3) I don't know what fully happend but I had to bin the board (the vrms or capacitors had burned) Because of electrical smell.

So I built my PC in 2012, and have made some minor upgrades over the years (New GPU, more DDR3 RAM, EVGA 750 watt power supply, SSD). But I feel that my Motherboard and CPU are getting pretty old now. I would like to upgrade while still keeping the newer GPU and maybe RAM, albeit i'm probably...

So, maybe a week ago I started playing Dying light with a friend of mine when my desktop just black screened and instantly restarted. I've been having this issue more and more often for less and less demanding programs. I opened up the side and can feel the heat on the motherboard sinks...

Was removing heatsink and pulled out cpu along with it without the lever from AM3+ socket being released, presumably happned because the cpu was welded to the heatsink with thermal paste. Will that have damaged the cpu socket and/or the cpu as the board doesn't seem to be posting when new cpu...

I have been trying to update my BIOS for my Gigabyte GA 970A UD3 rev1.1 Socket AM3+ and i got the BIOS update from Gigabyte's website. I put it on a flash drive that i made sure was a FAT32 flash drive. I plug it in, restart my PC, hit the End key until the Q-Flash screen pops up. I choose the...

Hello! I have quite unique problem. My brother needs am3 cooler for his fx6300, but he does not have any kind of backplate or bracket on the motherboard. And it would be impossible to install new one, because the rear of the case can't be accessed. It is very old metal case and trust me, it...
