Pins

Hello all, are the pins on this SSD heatsink for the Asus ROG Strix B450-I entirely necessary? What exactly do they connect to? Obviously if they are then of course one is missing. Thanks for your help.

My question is Will Corsair Tx750m have enough cables ,those pins be enough to power up b 650 E E strix and Asus strix rtx 4070ti super gpu Okay I need to get this straight will this https://www.hgspot.hr/napajanje-corsair-tx750m-modularno-750-w-80-gold PSU SUPPORT WITH CABLES ASUS RTX 4070ti...

Maybe not clear from the picture but there seems to be 3 or 4 pins "missing" from the upper middle row. https://ibb.co/0fr0vKT Is this normal/how it usually looks on AM5? What even prompted me to look is the fact that only 1 out of 4 dimm slots are working.

[Moderator edit to break up one continuous paragraph of text.] I've read somewhere on the internet that even if someone manages to repair a CPU's pin, that it will never ever match the feel and performance of a CPU's pin that has never been touched or damaged. And I believe this could be true...

Hello, please go easy on me as I haven't been into PCs or hardware for 10 years and I'm slowly learning everything from the beginning all over again. I've scoured the forums but can't figure this out. I have a new GPU that I'd like to connect and I've bought an 8 pin PCIe cable to do this, I...

Does dust on the CPU pins degrade CPU performance in any way? I have the Ryzen 5 3600

Hello I have 4 leftover pins to connect but idk where. 3 PIN FAN 3 PIN ARGB 3 PIN RGB again and some USB 3.1 cable which comes from the front of the case View: https://imgur.com/a/tiFPsHx

So i have an Eagle 4070 Ti and after installing it I can see the edge-connector pins in the slot. I have less fps than others and my fans are going crazy in games, they start and stop all the time. I made a fan curve but it didn't help. Can this be because of bad gpu connection in the slot or...

I saved up and bought a WD80EAZZ (8TB, Western Digital blue) last month. I was an idiot and didn't have it properly secured in my case. Long story short: the plastic support brackets broke off the hard drive's SATA connector, the pins at least look alright: I've scoured and seen some similar...

I got a new case and it came with what I assume is a fan controller since all the fans were connected to it I tried plugging in the cable connected to the port labeled MB but it doesnt match the fan header on my motherboard I have a b450m h from gigabyte View: https://imgur.com/a/NU5mAd7

I did a complete cleaning on my components and stupidly ripped the CPU out of the socket with the fan. I had some bent pins which I carefully fixed and after everything got cleaned I reinserted my CPU. My PC started freezing/shutting down after playing some graphically intensive games randomly...

Hello, I have: Gigabyte A320M S2H v2 Ryzen 5 1600AF RX 570 graphics card 450W PSU 8GB DDR4 2600MHz memory. So the issue is that the PC won't turn on sometimes. One day it'll work perfectly fine and the next its cooked. Nothing. I looked at the front panel pins and noticed that bridging the...

Hi guys! I have an old pc and I won’t buy a new one before ddr5 and the new chipsets are out. I just bought a crucial mx500 250gb. I have an old dirt cheap 400w power supply with 2 sata cables.

i have recently bought a 3080 and was wondering if it was worth it two use two 8 pin power connectors over one 16 pin.

so after i got my gpu out of the case i noticed the tips of the pins were gone (card came halfway out but got it out eventually), so my question is if the gpu will still work i have added photos of both pins. I have a aus rog strix rtx 2070 super pin 1 pin 2

Hi all the current PSU I have in a 12 year old rig is 14 pins and is currently supporting a GTX 670. I want to upgrade to GTX 1660 super (16 pins 2x8). I have a 2x 6 pin and 1 x 2 pin. (14 pins) After some research i can see that it might be possible use a molex adaptor. But most adapters i...

Hi, ty for trying to help me out, so I got this chinese QIYIDA D4 X99 Motherboard with a Xeon in it, works perfectly fine, but I got the money for a m.2 SSD so I bought a Transcend TS512GMTE220S 512GB PCIE, and for some reason in the Bios and even in Windows its not detected, but I realized that...

I have a problem with instability on a system running an LGA 1150 socket CPU. I carefully removed the CPU to make an inspection and noticed (with strong magnifier) that the pins in the socket were all bent flat. It seems that they are flattened in a controlled way, but that is way to small to...

So i have psu Hiper 530w and it has 6 (4+2 )pins for mdb (cpu) and 12 (8+4) for gpu... my rx 580 needs only 8, so i took those 6 for motherboard and connected them to a adapter (6 to 8 pins) and took those 12 (4+8) and connected those 4 to a motherboard. and im doing this because i bought pc in...

Hello, I have recently bought a 3080 and I am getting lower performance then other people with same or even lower specs then mine. When I went to install my GPU (first time doing that) in the first attempt I could have scratched the GPU pins with my M.2 cooler but I am not sure. After testing...

I have a Hero Maximus 10 that I'm switching over too due to an unfortunate cmos accident, I think? Well I'm looking at some on/off/on spring toggle switches. Any way, I'd like to set it up so the upflick is, power on, and the downflick is the reset switch. However there is only 1 negative...

View: https://imgur.com/a/16j7NhW As you can see there are 2 ends on the PCIe Cable both are 6+2. But shouldnt one go into the PSU and the other into the GPU? Because one more end which can not be unplugged goes directly into the PSU. Does that mean I have 2 6+2 pins available for the GPU...

Hi I inserted a memory module into a DDR3 240 pins DIMM connector-socket of a new EVGA motherboard. First insertion of a memory module in that motherboard memory socket.. Being that DIMM sockets connectors have to have both latches down, are keyed for inserting the memory module only one way...

I'm assuming they wouldn't use them if this were the case, but can reusing or reseating a cpu repeatedly cause damage to the cpu pins (Ryzen btw) from the locking mechanism? Also what is the best way to clean dirty pins without bending them (also on Ryzen)?

Hey guys. I'm new to building PC from scratch, I have only upgraded parts before. Decided it was time to try to build one by myself. I plugged everything in and it seemed to work fine, except my screen was black, but fans were running and everything was cool. I have a 2070 Super and my PCU...

Hello, I'm wondering if it is possible to connect a temperature sensor to molex or 12, 5 PINs ? It has a Line and Neutral lines out, also it has to be powered by 4-24 V DC In that case, can I plug them directly into molex or sata or even Motherboard pins? Is it save for my PS/MB? Thanks in advance.

Looking for anyone that know something about the pins and connections for the PCI-E slot and GPU pins. I have a question about what some of the specific pins/slot connectors for the PCI-E slot on my MB and the related pins for the GPU specifically do..... So, unfortunately (for me) my liquid...

Hi! I'm a newbie to computers. So I bought a Power Supply Tester to test my 6 + 2 pin, the 6 pin worked(fit & working) but the 2 pin doesn't fit, are there chances that my PSU's 6 + 2 pin won't be compatible with 8 pin GPUs? Thanks!

Specs: Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z77-DS3H CPU: Intel Core I5-3330 Memory: 2x 2GB DDR3-1333 So here is my issue: When only using one 2GB stick of memory, in DIMM Slot DDR3_1, my system boots after the PSU cycling once! I can then enter the BIOS and it shows that I have 2048mb of RAM. When I...

According to this post (https://blog.esciencecenter.nl/why-use-an-fpga-instead-of-a-cpu-or-gpu-b234cd4f309c), you can connect things directly to the pins of an FPGA. So can you connect another FPGA directly to the pins of the other, and have one very powerful FPGA? What would the latency be like?

So, recently I had this thread going on and this exact problem. https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/what-is-causing-the-problem.3466729/?view=date and further on guy at the repairing service told me thst my cpu socket pins are bent. Couls thst be true, well they are bent but only in slight...

Hey guys, I noticed my motherboard got an issue on its bend pins and causes the PC to hang or freeze. I'm wondering will it solve the problem if I rebend the pins? what other related or new issue will it surface in the future?
