Question Is my "ancient" PSU from 2005 a problem?

Well the new CPU/Mobo/RAM arrived. Hooked everything up and tried to power on, same issue. Motherboard and CPU fan will briefly power on, then turn off after 2-3 seconds. I guess this means the PSU is the culprit? Even though the PSU was a working pull from an old 2005 AMD system, and the...

Question Is my "ancient" PSU from 2005 a problem?

Heyyyy, haha you're right I have no spare PSUs, kind of stopped my PC side hustle after COVID and the USPS raising rates, lots of packages getting lost. Just not a fun "hobby" anymore honestly. "Pin" meaning the plastic pushpins on the bottom of the OEM cooler. If you look at the album in post...

Question Is my "ancient" PSU from 2005 a problem?

Yeah, am just considering returning the RAM at this point. I just pulled the trigger on a complete socket 1151 CPU/Mobo/RAM combo on eBay. I messaged the seller and he said it was tested and working. So I think I'm good now, I can probably find what the problem is by using those parts. Thanks...

Question Is my "ancient" PSU from 2005 a problem?

Update: Because the motherboard would not post after trying all the recommendations/suggestions, on a whim I decided hey, let me pull the RAM sticks completely and run it in RAM less configuration. This is the result: Video (volume on) With no RAM inserted in the motherboard, it stays powered...

Question Is my "ancient" PSU from 2005 a problem?

Yes, that's the list of QVL memory. But I'm pretty sure that QVL lists aren't exclusive, it just means that those are the memory kits that Gigabyte tested and confirmed working in the factory. It does say the memory speed downclocks to 2133 from 2400. Wouldn't that also be the case for 2666 or...

Question Is my "ancient" PSU from 2005 a problem?

Here are some pictures I took of assembly/testing when I was talking to the seller and trying to figure out the problem The Intel OEM cooler actually had one pin broken off, which was how it was on arrival.

Question Is my "ancient" PSU from 2005 a problem?

1. Motherboard is Gigabyte GA-H110M-S2H Link 2. I haven't verified that the CPU works because I bought it on eBay as a bare chip. No physical damage though 3. I haven't verified that the RAM works either. I bought it new on Amazon 2 weeks ago. Corsair Vengeance LPX 16gb (2x8gb) DDR4 2666Mhz 1.2V...

Question Is my "ancient" PSU from 2005 a problem?

Yep. I tried different configurations with the RAM sticks. Tried clearing the CMOS. Nothing worked. It's just frustrating that it powers on for a second and then turns off. Rather it was completely dead so I stop fussing with it.

Question Is my "ancient" PSU from 2005 a problem?

Hey this was a great idea! I remembered my Innova Multimeter that sits unused in the closet, so I busted that out. Every pin voltage tolerance was within range, according to the chart I found here: https://www.makeuseof.com/power-supply-unit-psu-test-with-multimeter/ Now, I am feeling much...

Question Is my "ancient" PSU from 2005 a problem?

So the PSU itself could be bad, but it isn't non-compliant with a Skylake motherboard, is it? I mean if it was 100% working perfect then it would be compatible and power the motherboard fine? I do hate the idea of throwing it away simply because it's old. I have an Innova 3320 multimeter, so I...

Question Is my "ancient" PSU from 2005 a problem?

Fellow old timers, I need some help. Here's the scoop, I have a Antec Neo HE430 from 2005, a socket 1151 motherboard from 2015, Celeron G3900, and 16gb DDR4. The motherboard won't post, when I press power it spins the CPU fan and the LEDs turn on, then shuts down after 1-2 seconds. I feel like...

Question NZXT 510, Corsair iCue 220T RGB, or Corsair Carbide 275R Airflow

H510, hands down. It's one of the best cases for the price, good quality material and innovative features like a cable shroud. The other 2 are built with inferior materials and are more cramped, interior space wise.

Florida GOP Voter Suppression Effort Poised to Backfire Spectacularly

No, no. See, equal rights is only important to 'Cons when it's beneficial to their interests. This is one of the core tenets of the conservative brand: selective principles. Prediction: if there's any chance this will backfire on the GOP, soon the courts in those Republican counties will...

Not even Israel wants any part of the Iranian Fiasco!!!

Unlike deadbeat Donald, Israel has an actual strategy in regards to Iran. Said strategy does not involve an army invasion or mass bombing campaign. The Israeli strategy is preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons at all costs. If Donald wasn't a dumbass, he would take a page from Israel's...

Question Significant gains with extra threads/cores (1080p): myth or reality?

I'll rephrase: the segments show the exact same sequence played, not shot. Don't know how to play through the exact same sequence, 5 times. Most reviewers use benchmarking tools or rough areas of a game. My hypothesis stands if you're using a 1080p 60Hz monitor. Which most people do. But yes...
