    Nvidia 3090 Founders Edition red light

    A bit difficult to take a photo of the light, it only goes on for a second (it is at the opposite end of the connectors and is a solid red line. I had a 1080 that used to display a red line along its length when the PC started up, this turned blue then finally green, I think the card might not...

    Nvidia 3090 Founders Edition red light

    I was just wondering if it is normal for a Nividia Founders Edition Graphics card to display a red line along one end of the card when the PC boots. I did a search but could find nothing about it. Regards Matt.

    I need a larger PC case.

    It's the 4000D I actually have, the rad needed fitted to the front and the fans won't allow the 4090 to be installed.

    I need a larger PC case.

    Thanx for the reply: I can buy an external drive, it's just my case is too small for my 4090-OC, and my liquid cooler was a bugger to fit. I would like to top mount my rad, in fact, if it was top mounted, the 4090 would fit into my case just now. I did some research on cases a little while back...

    I need a larger PC case.

    I bought a Strix 4090 OC and it doesn't fit my case by half an inch. I really want a much bigger case as I had trouble mounting the rad in the top of my old Corsair Obsidian 650D case. My Specs: MOBO: ASUS Z790-E Gaming WiFi PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA 1600 T2 Titanium 1600W CPU liquid Cooler: Corsair...

    Solved CPU Power requirments?

    Thanx for that masterful response 😁 That's that done. A new problem has arisen, the CPU power cables are in the way of the AIO radiator I wanted to mount to the top of the Corsair Obsidian 650D case.

    Solved CPU Power requirments?

    I have used a CPU before on a MOBO with only one cable attached, it worked fine. Just wanted some opinions on what the results would be if I used one or two. I don't want to huff my CPU.

    Solved Smoking GPU

    On further inspection of the graphics card, a small section of the rubber sleeve covering the fan header cable has melted, it was touching part of the PCB. Explains the smoke billowing out of the rear end of the card, but what could have done this?

    Solved Smoking GPU

    Yes, sorry, not sure on reflection why I made two posts, maybe didn't want to mix things up. The PC is running now. Will return Graphics card tomorrow. I have another post on here, but that is for my new build.

    Solved No bios display with hdmi

    The HDMI slot on the motherboard was gubbed, couldn't really tell at first, but the cable was hanging out slightly, I had a similar problem with the USB-c port. Sorry, but it took me a while to find a Display port cable, tried various monitors and HDMI cables. I'm using a Display port on the...
