motherboard

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...

To give the full story I’ve built this PC around December 2023 and it’s been lying around until now. The PC worked fine at that time and it would power on without trouble. However, fast forward a year later, it won’t power on despite the some of the RGB lighting up when switching the PS on. The...
