    Tomahawk B350 - Ez Dedug code(s)

    Built about 2 years ago, was running fine last night. The RAM light never goes on.

    Tomahawk B350 - Ez Dedug code(s)

    My daughter's machine will not boot, there are no beeps from the mobo but all the fans are working and I can hear the power in the various drives. The EZ Debug LED stops at the CPU light, but then, at the same time it flashes off and the VGA and BOOT lights flash on. This sequence repeats...

    Noise issue? Or normal?

    It's not electrical. Definately vibration as I can make it stop if I touch hold the PSU tight to case, and it doesn't take much at that.

    Noise issue? Or normal?

    So it appears that the annoying noise is from the PSU and how it sits or is secured to the case. Any tips or tricks to limit the vibration transfer?

    Noise issue? Or normal?

    Is there a windows utility that show BIOS like information? fan speed, cpu temp, gpu temp, etc? Edit: let me google that for you... MSI Afterburner, GPU-Z. Which do you prefer, or it doen't really matter as I'm not overclocking?

    Noise issue? Or normal?

    Is that normal though? My old build did not do that.

    Noise issue? Or normal?

    Just finished a new build (first one in mnay years) and everything is working great...I think/hope. Except I am wondering if its makes too much, or the wrong kind of noise. Here is the build: AMD Ryzen 5 2600x 3.6GHz Gigabyte B450 Aorus Elite Motherboard EVGA SuperNova 650G1+ Gold PSU MSI...

    This is all good stuff. Thanks. Memory Express has this card: Radeon RX 570 Gaming 4GB PCI-E w/ DVI, HDMI, Triple DP on sale for $180. They are claiming it's "$220 off" but I'm not sure I really believe that. What do yous all think?

    Another SSD question... do they mount like a standard HDD? I.e. do I need a new case as the one I was going to use pre-dates SSDs.

    New build thoughts, especially on the video card?

    Kind of a dumb question then...what do you load on the SSD? Windows? Games? And then use your HDD for storage of photos, music, etc? Or to put it another way, do you run out space on the SSD?

    New build thoughts, especially on the video card?

    On the PSU. My machine runs almost constantly (torrents) so I am interested in a PSU thar claims 'energy efficiency' or the like. Thoughts? Like, is there such a thing? I'm also wondering...do I really need a SSD? This is new since my last build.

    1. What YOUR PC will be used for. Gaming (but not super serious, I just like to have fun), web browsing, Illustrator, Photoshop, spreadsheets. 2. What YOUR budget is: -$800 - $1000 (inlcuding tax) 3. What country -Canada 4. IF YOU have a brand preference. -I'm partial to NVidia...

    Adding new RAM - timings to match

    Thanks in advance for the help folks! I am thinking of adding some more RAM to my system. I understand that I should, if at all possible, get the same speed (e.g. PC2-6400) but what about the timings? Is it necessary to match them as well? I am not overclocking or anything like that, just...

    Thermal Pad vs. Thermal paste?

    Maybe this is the wrong forum, but I am looking for help trying to decide what to do. I've had to replace the CPU fan on my in-laws machine and when removing it noticed the heatsink was VERY loose and sloppy so I took it off too and figured I'd just put it back on with some new thermal paste...

    Advice on new HTPC build

    Gotchya. But to play HD content from downloads or DVDs I will need an HDMI input to the TV, correct?
