Hello internet! I'm in the process of upgrading my PC's motherboard, processor and RAM. Specifically, my new mobo is here, and my PSU is here. PSU is circa 10 years old. Unfortunately, being so old, I threw out all of the spare leads for the PSU a while back. So my question is, will a single...

I have a Corsair RM850x PSU (bought in 2020) and I'm planning to upgrade the PC with a Gigabyte Z790 Aourus X WiFi7 motherboard and an i7-14700k CPU. The GPU will stay the same -- RTX 3080 10GB OC v2. Can I connect them with my older PSU without any issues? Thank You for the answers.

Hey guys! I was doing some cleanup of my older hardware and I noticed - among the many millions of cables that I had stockpiled on for god-knows what reasons - that 2 cables have similar shape, but only the number of pins differs. I did a bit of googling for the images so I can show you and I...

If you ever heard the saying 'no question is too dumb', I'm here to challenge that. So I recently inherited a entry level gaming pc. I was satisfied with the components except for the GPU (GTX 750) that I tried to change today to a Asus GTX 1060 dual fan. However, I could not do that since my...

Hello there, I'd be really grateful for any help on this. I'm registered blind and building a new system with the Thermaltake Toughpower PF1 850W PSU. I've built systems before but the hardest part is getting to know a new product and figuring out its features especially when I'm not able to...

Hi, hope you're doing well! Been building computers for over 13 years now, so you can bet I'm asking after trying to figure it out as best as I could. I got a simple question but its rather particular. I've been doing a lot of builds lately and there have been so many different kinds of...

I recently got a cupertino 3 motherboard from a HP Pro 3500 mid tower. I just slapped it into a case I had and hooked everything up. To my surprise there were mostly standard connectors except for the usb 2.0 headers. They are a strange 10 pin header that I haven't seen before. I just...

Why do PSU Molex cables generally provide than 3 Molex connectors at the other end? Is it because you can connect more than one device, i.e., D5 pump and fan controller, to one cable? Can anyone please provide a good resource that provides additional information.

Hey guys, I'm having a dilemma here. So basically, I bought my computer back in 2016 for around 430euro. It came with an A58ML motherboard, an R7 250 1gb GDDR5 GPU, an Athlon x4 750 Quad-Core Processor, 8 gigs of RAM, and 1TB HDD. It also came with a 500w PSU. Now today I'm looking to upgrade my...

Yesterday, I wanted to do a deep clean of my PC to remove dust which hasn't been removed for a while. My case (Corsair 460X) has a "tunnel" above the power supply unit. I removed part of this tunnel by unscrewing it from the back and sliding it off. In order to do this, I had to unplug the...

One of the connectors has all rounded-corner pins. It fits in the female end in the board, of course, but I want to make sure I won't fry anything. Pics: View: https://imgur.com/a/OsDQC0t

Hello guys! I wanna know that whether the case fans from Corsair and CoolerMaster are supported in intel DH55TC Motherboard or not because I heard that Motherboards from Dell, Hp and intel have proprietary connectors thus they support case fans of their own companies so is this true or this...

I have a gtx 660 hooked up to my corsair cx450 (should be plenty enough of power to run it right?), and there are two 6-pin connectors on the card but the psu only has one. I thought the card only needed the one 6-pin but either it needs both or the connector is broken. Would it be fine if I get...

So my question is what io port connectors does the phanteks eclipse p300 have that connect to the motherboard because i am not sure what ports my motherboard needs to have to be able to connect all the front io ports and buttons to my motherboard.

I'm planning to upgrade my system, but keeping my FT02 case. I opened it today to check it out a bit (I did not build this pc myself, but chose components), to prepare for building my new system. I saw some connectors and I don't really understand why they are there or what they do. Here's a...

Why is the RX 580 Gaming ROG Strix on newegg for $189? Isn't this a $350+ card? Should I buy this because I'm looking for a card for around $200 and this seems too good to be true. This is my build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/2mmNCb

I bought an upgrade to my ram yesterday from 2x4gb to 2x8gb. When I installed the new ram I didn't know they needed to be in 1, 3 or 2, 4 and installed them right next to each other. So while I had some time today I moved one of the sticks over a slot. Now my computer is freezing up and I just...

Hello, so I'm having an issue while playing games. One monitor will turn black while gaming, the one playing the game. This started happening soon after getting a new GPU and more ram. I noticed it won't happen while the other monitor is off. The screen will turn black for a second and then go...

I'm not sure what to do. I'm releasing the clamp on the right side (the left side is fixed) but the RAM stick does not move. I thought it should be pushed upwards and then be easily removable but I can't make it move at all after releasing the clamp. I'm using Kingston PC-3-10600 DDR3 on an...

Hello, I'm thinking about upgrading my PC soon (very likely a whole brand new PC upgrade). I would pick out part by part and put everything together for a brand new upgrade if it was few years ago. However, things are getting busy for me now, so I think I will just buy a good and worth-it...

Hello there! I've got a new gaming pc since a few months. In the beginning I found out that it was getting too hot, so I placed 2 intake fans. I still think that the pc is getting too much heat and that I can make it much more cooler. I think turning the PSU or changing the outtake fan would...
