Under the silver thing theres glue, is it normal? Or should I be worried?

Motherboard spacing doesn’t allow two 2.5-slot Gigabyte 5070s to fit in the x8/x8 slots. Rather than changing the motherboard or buying different GPUs, I’m considering fabricating a custom mount that holds the second GPU at an upward angle in front of the side intake fans.

My theory is:
- The two lower side intake fans would feed GPU 2 directly with fresh air.
- The Meshify 3 XL’s PSU shroud/ramp should help direct some of that lower airflow up into GPU 2.
- By angling GPU 2 instead of mounting it directly beneath GPU 1, I’d leave a much larger cavity under GPU 1 so it can still draw fresh air.
- By offsetting GPU 2 towards the tempered glass, I’d leave an air channel behind it (between GPU 2 and the motherboard) so fresh intake air can still reach GPU 1.

My concerns are:
- Could GPU 2 still end up starving GPU 1 of fresh air despite the forward offset? I’d probably only have around 20–30 mm behind GPU 2, and I’m also unsure how much the PCIe riser cable itself might obstruct airflow.
- Is there a better angle or position I should mount GPU 2 at?

Would you expect this to perform better or worse than two GPUs stacked directly on the motherboard?

This is for a home AI server, so the dual GPUs are intentional. Most of the hardware was given to me as spare parts by a family member, so returning or exchanging components isn’t really an option.

I’m happy to fabricate a custom bracket if the airflow concept makes sense—I just wanted some opinions before I start cutting metal.

Hey guy’s so after about 3 weeks i finally got the motherboard i ordered from the uk shipped to australia,

Before even opening the box i noticed that there were white paper covers on the box covering the front of the box and it came with no cushion/foam or any sort of packaging just the motherboard box in an amazon box.

As i open the back i am greeted with the photo above, so i am looking on some advice on what the next step should be.

A. Should i try to put my cpu in it and turn it on to see if it works

B. Straight up return it and ask for a refund or replacement

C.try to bend it back myself or take it to a repair shop ?

Was also wondering whether it would void my warranty if i tried to put my cpu in it and turn it on.

Thanks in advance.

This is what I’m thinking for my build, ssd is taken care of so there’s no problem in that. I don’t mind spending a tiny bit more if I have to.

As I said on one of my posts here, I'm very new to it. I want to repaste my CPU, but I cannot find it for the life of me - any help is much appreciated!

Edit: I fucked stuff up so majorly my computer might as well be ruined. One of these days I'll shoot myself.

Edit: Never shooting myself. I managed to fix it with hopes and prayers and no experience whatsoever. I am unstoppable and probably haven't learnt anything.

i'm kinda stuck between going for an AM4 and an AM5 build. I could go for an AM5, but I'm worried I might buy too early (like buying an AM5 build before prices go down)

I could go for an AM4 build, but I might have to upgrade soon after purchasing one.

Can you guys enlighten me? My budget for a build is around $800-$900.

I have about $500 to spend on upgrades. I've had this thing since 2017 and have not touched a single thing about it, as it runs all the games I play fairly well on medium-ish settings.(Rainbow Six, Call of Duty, Rocket League, indie games, etc.)

I am using asus prime ap201 as my case and MSI Pro B850M-P motherboard. The usb 3.0 header of the motherboard is aligned with the bottom case fans and the cable is so rigid and big that it bends over the bottom intake fans and sits dangerously close to the gpu fans above. Is it possible to replace this cable or do something with it or should I decommission those ports? I tried using plastic locks but the head is also too rigid and takes space no matter what.

Looking to upgrade my gaming pc from a decade ago, ai put this together for me just wanted to get some opinions from people who know what they are doing, not looking for anything crazy, just want to run some newer games better. Already have a case and 32gb of ram.

Cheers

Hi all, built a PC and im having some setting up errors. Whenever I boot up a game, one of my radiator fans starts bouncing and hitting the cpu cable underneath.

Would my best attempt be adjusting the fan curves first? Followed by securing the fan to the radiator? All do all three and look at the offending cable and re route it?

The side on panel on my pc shattered does anyone know a temporary fix until I can go out to get a new case current case is a “ARGB-M1-BK”

So i have a gtx 1080ti currently and its not artifacting and causing full system locks (rip legend). So to replace it i found a RTX 3070 on marketplace for 375$ CAD. I havent gone to get it yet but i want your oppinion if its a good upgrade or not. My current pc is a MSI Z390-A Pro, Intel Core I9 9900, Nvidia GTX 1080ti Aorous waterforce extreme, Coolermaster 750W platinum psu, 16gb corsair ddr4 2933, and a big old coolermaster case.

Tengo un problema que al iniciar horizon o al encender mi computadora y querer iniciar algún programa de inmediato se reinicia mi computadora, ya hice pruebas de estrés y no hay ningún problema, podría ser el disco duro?

I connected all of the cables but nothing is turning on why?

Will my Endorfy Elementum E5 550W psu work with a sapphire nitro rx 580? i had a gtx 1080 before, and i dont know if it will work, can anyone help?

So I’ll probably buy a 9070xt and idk if I should buy a new psu. Rn I have an i7 14700F and bout to buy a 9070xt mercury. Could u guys recommend me best psu calculators so I can see if 750watts is enough.

I made some research and coolermaster psu calculators told me that my pc will need only like 500watts

For instance I have this psu: DeepCool gamerstorm pn750m gold

So I have this pc but every time I turn it on it doesn’t register the peripherals such as keyboard, monitor, mouse. What can I do??

Apparently this is common. I’ve followed a lot of tips and still can not get my PC to work. Below is a list of what I’ve tried from reading similar threads.

1. Mobo lights go Red to Yellow to Off, which is apparently means it’s booting?
2. Tried different HDMI cables
3. Removed CPU and cooler to ensure seated properly.
4. Brand new Motherboard

5. Brand new Power Supply

6. Tried with 1 stick of ram in first ram slot. Ensured RAM is seated properly.

This has happened in the past on an old motherboard and it randomly started working after several restarts. Will update as I try more troubleshooting.

Basically the title. I am looking to build a mid-high end PC based around the 9070xt. I won't be able to afford the entire build until mid to late next year. I'm worried GPU prices might skyrocket in that time and I'm wondering if I should get one now before the vram crisis gets worse. I appreciate any advice on the subject!

Update: Ok seems like the consensus is to not do this so I'm gonna hold off, roll the dice and hope prices don't get out of hand before I can afford my build. Thanks for the advice gang, I appreciate it!

I recently bought the MSI MAG Coreliquid A15 AIO Cooler for my AM4 Motherboard

I understand the standing and applying thermal paste then screwing in the radiator and heatsink aspect of it but I dont understand how to connect the cables, I know it has a daisy chain but idk where this specific plug connects to and idk what its called.
