A little context. I bought a generic computer like 12 years ago, and with time I did some upgrades which left the motherboard as the only original component along with the processor. Years passed and at some point I didn't need to keep upgrading it, as it served all my needs. Until just a few...

When I built my PC 4 years ago, one of the pins of the CPU got bent, but it was straightened with a card, and it fit into the motherboard without any issues. Since then, I’ve never removed it. Today, I need to replace my motherboard because it has a broken pin, and the front ports aren’t...

Starting to map out a new build. The plan is to go X670E or X870E + 9800X3D + RTX 5080. No overclocking (I do not fuss with that). I need WiFi 7 and USB 4.0 so I presume I'll be going X870E (while I recognize I still could get that with X670E). Where I get lost are the PCI lane specifics. I...

So a little backstory, I posted a thread here a few days ago about my PC not turning on, and after replugging front panel cables (or some other cables), it started to work perfectly fine. Someone on that thread suggested replugging cables, so I thought I found the fix. After that, I was able to...
