My old EVGA 850 BQ Bronze was always running on the loud side even while standing idle and the fan was getting out of balance so I changed up for a Corsair RM850e. I installed the new PSU with its own modular cables (CPU,GPU,motherboard), but eventhough the Motheboard makes lights while OFF when...

Hello everyone! Apologies if some parts are hard to understand, English is not my first language, I'll be happy to clarify whatever's misunderstood. For context, I already know the culprit is the OS because I was able to rule it out thanks to a secondary SSD, but I'm making this thread just to...

To make a long story short, I have two desktops in my home, and one of them currently doesn’t work. Both PCs only use a single M.2 SSD, therefore both have Windows 11 installed onto them, and both are the boot drives for their respective desktops. Each system also has an Intel processor, so...

I know 'monitor stuck in standby' is a widely questioned topic but please assess my individual situation: I have 2 near identical basic systems that I built many years ago.

I am not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but google doesn't seem to get me the answer I am looking for since the question is a bit confusing. Is it possible to get a new Ssd/hdd, take the one I am currently using out and install an OS (let's say windows) on the new one I just...

Hi first post here, hope this is the right place to put it. When putting together my latest rig I made an oversight and my AIO cooler's radiator did not fit in it (its currently duct taped into the corner of the case 🤮). Its obviously not ideal for thermals so I will be looking into a new case...

Hi folks, I'm in a bit of a predicament here, and I'd like your advice! I'm planning on upgrading my Thinkpad X1 Carbon 5th Gen's storage from 256GB to 1TB. The issue is that this model only has one M.2 port, so copying directly from one drive to another is not an option. I have an external...

Hello everyone, A few days ago my CPU fan stopped spinning so I went online and ordered a new cooler and saw the guy selling it has a 1TB HDD so I bought it too. Today it arrived and I couldn't get the cooler to fit properly. I sighed and decided it was time for an upgrade anyway. So again I...
