  1. Question Can boot into BIOS but not windows on HDMI

    I was just thinking that an obvious first thing to do when confronted with any display issue is to see if the problem remains when you exclude the GPU. Test the HDMI output from the MB and if the trouble persists then at least you've excluded the GPU as being involved. But I've now read back...

  2. Question Can boot into BIOS but not windows on HDMI

    Couldn't it be a GPU issue? Some of the problems, particularly the desktop icons slowness to display, sounds like it could be involved.

  3. Question Which SSD would you recommend for reliability foremost over speed etc?

    No experience with NVMe yet although I have a 1TB FireCuda waiting for me to start the PC build I've been delaying for months. My experience is all with SATA SSDs and like notposting I've had great reliability from the Crucial MX range.

  4. Solved! Quiet 4-pin fan

    That looks like a generic standard mount 4-pin fan; can't guess what the size is from the pic. Are you sure the PC is a HP Elitedesk 400 G8 because a bit of cursory searching on the fan size/replacement parts doesn't bring up any information about a model with that particular designation...

  5. Question Constant Errors after Upgrade

    "Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth." Reading back you seem to have tried testing everything including the MB so, as tcsenter suggested, isn't the CPU the only thing left as the possible culprit? Unless I've missed it isn't that the...

  6. Discussion The perils of owning a case with vents on the top

    I have metal or nylon sheet 'dust' filters on both my top case vented PC but you still get a lot of fine dust entering that way. Of course I realised that would not save the PC from liquid incursion of any type, including cat drool and urine, so I got rid of my cats (JOKE). Seriously though...

  7. Question gigabyte GA-H170M-D3H boot loop power issues , and no display

    MemTest86 can be run from disc or flash drive and should still boot unless there is a serious hardware problem other than the RAM. The trouble will be if the GPU is involved; so you'd definitely need to use one of the MB's graphics output options to your monitor as Brainonska511 said. Can you...

  8. Question SSD write problem

    I'd hope it is what Seba and Shmee suggested, the free space. Its a 500GB SSD and it has 'only' 50GiBs of free space. But that is quite a dramatic performance drop so it might be something more serious. I'd use CrystalDiskInfo to check it for errors. The 'rule' I've always applied, which is...

  9. Discussion Weird Shutdown/Wake Issue - MSI B660 Tomahawk

    I like being able to cold start a PC from keyboard. That function has been available for years but not when using a USB keyboard/mouse. You need to use an old PS/2 keyboard and your MB have a dedicated PS/2 socket. Not all do and a PS/2 keyboard to USB adapter, as you'd imagine, doesn't work, at...

  10. Question Custom resolution is not supported by your display...

    You might not be able to set a 4:3 custom resolution of 1536 (vertical), which is a bit of an odd one which I'm not that surprised is not supported by the display. But have you tried any other 4:3 resolutions? 1440 x 1080 would seem an obvious first thing to try and then work your way up ie...

  11. MP3 Converter Online Free, links?

    VLC (VideoLAN) can convert/extract MP3 from a MP4 original: Media Tab > Convert/Save and then selecting the output as Audio MP3 from the menu. Weirdly though it doesn't change the file extension from MP4 so you have to change that manually afterwards as that might be an issue with some playback...

  12. How To RAM is running at 2133MHz instead of 3200MHz. Unable to fix this issue.

    So then no problem in that respect; just thought there was an off-chance there may have been some confusion because Gigabyte sockets themselves are not always marked on the MB itself. The assumption is the user understands the convention that the four physical sockets from right to left are...

  13. How To RAM is running at 2133MHz instead of 3200MHz. Unable to fix this issue.

    Maybe I missed this earlier in the discussion and it may be irrelevant anyway but just for clarity:- When ZenoSama says he is using RAM sockets 1 & 2 does that mean the first two adjacent sockets of the four or the two pairs which are actually the dual channel enabled ones and, usually...

  14. Question CD burning

    Yes, just go on Amazon or Ebay, most types are on offer. In the UK you can still find high street shops selling Maxell, Verbatim and sometimes Philips disc media. Much to my dismay the supermarket brand I favoured stopped being sold three or four years ago and my spare stock of those is now...

  15. Question Screws won't turn, can't open case!

    Going by the manual, which are diagrams rather than photos, they actually do look like JIS B1012 (without any identifying dot or X) in fact they can't be anything else as the sides of the central area are rounded. In original Philips and PH/PZ ISO 8764, the latter of which is supposed to have...

  16. Question CD burning

    I've used ImgBurn regularly for over 12 years, particularly in connection with disc creation/backups for game consoles. I've used it hundreds of times. It has not been updated since 2013. Downloads of the final version were latterly packaged with additional but entirely optional...

  17. Question Help me understand RAM for general computing and games.

    As someone who has actually done almost the same as the OP wants to do and can say that any difference in performance in regard to retro-gaming is marginal. But as others have said it does depend on the game. Eighteen months ago I went from a Win7 64bit PC with 8GB DDR3 RAM (4 x 2GB) to 16GB (2...

  18. Question UPS surge protection

    I don''t know about an UPS but for years I've used individual surge protectors on surge protected 6 and 8 gang mains extension leads. I can see no reason why you should not protect the UPS (which themselves are expensive bits of kit) with a surge protector of some sort. Why should it harm the...

  19. Question ASRock Z690M-ITX BIOS Intel 13th Gen Support

    I was thinking if you're happy going with the stock Intel cooler which I believe uses a 100mmx100mm fan you could get more cooling by going down a fan size to get more clearance using the, I'd suspect better, Vetroo V5 heat sink with, a push/pull Noctua 92mm 'quiet' fan pair, one fan each side...

  20. Question Bent pins on brand new Gigabyte X670 AM5 socket?

    I think I mentioned this in another thread about the Gigabyte Z790 UD MB I bought recently. I was very concerned that the box it came in was not at least taped closed and the anti-static bag was only taped, not actually sealed. I thought there was a good chance it was not genuinely new. When I...

  21. Question Z690 MBs - Is There A General Problem?

    A monitor is what I found I had enough budget to add to my build even after buying extra RAM. I went for a 31.5"/80cm Dell G3223D 'Gaming' direct from Dell (UK) at a pretty good price. Not the best for 'high-end' gaming, apparently, but still doing well enough for that type of use compared to...

  22. Poll: Do you use optical drives in 2023?

    I require at least one DVD-RW drive available because my retro-gaming consoles may require disc based install of certain utilities or tools running from disc. It is also, arguably, the simplest way of getting stuff from PC to console. You can FTP instead but I don't use the console online so it...

  23. Question DDR4 MB Speed Support?

    I was really just concerned a 3600MHz kit might not work at all because the RAM support information in the GA Z790 D DDR4 MB manual distinguishes between 'native' RAM module support (3200MHz max) and anything above that up to 5000+MHz settings, including 3600MHz is suffixed by (OC)...

  24. Question DDR4 MB Speed Support?

    Had a response from Gigabyte although they hadn't thought to inform me by email about this. Non-committal about whether 'natively' Kingston Fury Renegade 3600MHz modules are supported by the MB or not. But the gist was it is dependent on the RAM itself and that I'd probably have to use the XMP...

  25. Question What Should Be In A MB Box?

    I went back to the UK retail seller: Ebuyer, and, as I hoped, they said they had checked their other stock and confirmed that the contents and condition are definitely all OK. I have no reason to doubt that is correct now; I've bought my MBs and many of my other PC supplies from them since...

  26. Question DDR4 MB Speed Support?

    That link is to the very Kingston Fury Renegade RAM spec PDF I've been looking at and comparing their and other RAM modules/makes too. I was thinking it unlikely it would not work at all and worst I'd just get the same as the 3200MHz performance. Worth the gamble I think but I'm awaiting the...

  27. Question DDR4 MB Speed Support?

    I've just bought a GA B Z790 DDR4 MB and as it is a latest generation one I was surprised to find it says it only states supports up to 3200MHz but OCing support up 5333MHz. I mentioned in another thread here that I was thinking of upgrading the 16GB (2 x 8GB) 3200MHz I'd originally bought for...

  28. Question What Should Be In A MB Box?

    I've contacted the seller, a well known UK PC parts retailer I've used for previous builds including the purchase of two Gigabyte MBs I used. I've asked for confirmation of what should be the contents as they must have additional stock of the same ones and as the box can be opened they can...

  29. Question What Should Be In A MB Box?

    I did get that content information from the PDF manual I downloaded but why wasn't it supplied with the actual MB package? Also its stupidly unhelpful in that note in the manual saying the content can change without notice because then you don't know what you should have. Would they really have...

  30. Question What Should Be In A MB Box?

    I ask this because I've just bought a GA-Z790 D DDR4 and I was suprised by the fact the box it came in was not shrink wrapped or sealed. Also the contents - they are not listed anywhere on the outside of the box or inside. There's just a warranty notice, three screws for the three NVME positions...

  31. Question Z690 MBs - Is There A General Problem?

    I've been looking at the RAM and, thanks to living like a hermit :) for most of last year I have more left of my savings put aside for this build project than I expected. I'm probably getting a 1TB MX500 SSD and going all SSD, relegating the ITB HDD I was going to use to external backup. But I...

  32. Question Z690 MBs - Is There A General Problem?

    Just ordered a i5-13600K, GA D Z790 DDR4 and a 1TB Firecuda at the best prices I could find in the UK ATM. Not sure the wait for the Z790s was worth it but as it wasn't an urgent need and the overall cost is practically the same as a Z690 set up would have been 6+ months ago I'm not...

  33. Question Help Need Bios for GA-H61M-S rev 1.1

    I'm no expert on BIOS in any way so triple check it is correct for your MB and wait for further advice/confirmation but I did a quick search and came up with this page:- https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-H61M-S-rev-1x/support#support-dl-bios If it is correct for your MB it has BIOS...

  34. Question Price war heating up? Or is the market about to crash?

    In the UK you'll be hard pressed to find a i5-12600K much below £270 ($330) now and some well known online specialist IT retailers here have it close to £300 ($365). In other words the cheapest UK i5-12600K is higher than the typical i5-13600K cost in the US. As another comparison illustrating...

  35. Question Z690 MBs - Is There A General Problem?

    So, as advised earlier in this thread I've patiently waited until the Z790 MBs to arrive before committing to anything for the the build I started last year. I'm actually not going to know how much I can afford to spend on the MB, CPU and a NVME M2 until the end of March but I've begun looking...

  36. Question Shocking Temp Samsung 970 EVO

    Just as a matter of interest: what is that SMART tool being used for the temperature info etc?

  37. Question Gigabyte motherboard, are they really durable or reliable?

    Is it fair to slam a particular MB or MB manufacturer when the MB has been over-clocked or otherwise 'tweaked' to give highest performance? That must come at a cost to reliability or longevity and to criticize a MB which is being used in that way, outside the manufacturers' recommended specs...

  38. Question Motherboard Amber Light On New PC Build.

    The problem with that is, from my limited experience with PC MBs, is that many now do not have MB 'speakers'. With the Gigabyte H87 HD3 I used in my second build it had a speaker header but no speaker. I had to go onto Ebay to buy one. Didn't cost very much at all so you wonder why they did not...

  39. Question Motherboard Amber Light On New PC Build.

    The LED position described in this case is not the main LED so where is it exactly? Its not clear from the description I've had a quick look at the Asus web site MB pics and on Amazon and I can't see any obvious LED on the MB 'behind' the mic/speaker ports.

  40. Question Rufus (Latest) Download Issue

    AVAST actually has a specific uninstaller tool: avastclear.exe that is recommended and version specific too if you're using an older Windows OS or CPU. It also needs admin permission and to be run in safe mode. The problem is that if you use Windows built in program uninstall tools or a third...
