Just build a pc, bro!

>tfw just spent $2,000 on upgrades
>tfw 2080 t.i.

>msi - msi
HMMM=
I'm thinking its either really bad QA or the person has really greasy dirty hands and touched the connectors before putting it in

prob bought it really cheap from aliexpress

Probably VRM exploding

How does this happen

You get oil or grease on the little metal bits on the underside of the chips - creates a short circuit and fries the thing.

where did you spend the other 500?

Anyone used a dual chamber case? Wondering if there's any real benefit to going that way instead of a traditional tower format for ATX building. Stuff like air flow or ease of building.

Bottom one might be the CPU2 power lead plugged in the GPU.

Top one IDK

Upgraded RAM to 32 gigs, bought another 3Tb SSD and got an AIO.

i repair computers for a living, usually 99% of the time when a computer suffers a short circuit like this, its because the user used cables from a different power supply (they have non-standardized pinouts)

Bannerlord is an incredibly demanding game though so it would actually get it's worth out of your hardware. Not sure why you're posting this list like it negates your pc

>wanted to upgrade GPU
>nothing major just a bit
>see this
Yeah nah....stupid idea anyway

Bannerlord isn't that graphically intensive, don't kid yourself. I ran it on my 970 just fine before the upgrade.

for air flow, do i put an external fan blowing into my case or have it positioned so that its sucking the air out of the case?

I have this case. I fucking love it

>just bought 3tb of NVME drives for $147.00 total
>plus a 980Ti Classified for $40

who /saleschad/ here

It's summertime bruh. Take all the panels off and let that bitch breath. Just point a fan at the interals.

What did you think "blazing fast" performance meant?

Seems like my extra carefulness with washing and drying my hands every 10 minutes during building my first PC paid off.
It's now funny to me that people somehow have problems with assembling a PC when the retarded me did it without issues in about 2 hours using only the manuals packaged with the hardware.

I haven't had a single issue with MSI products, are you guys perhaps genuine retards?

you shouldn't even touch it dumb-ass. just wipe them with a microfiber every now and then tor remove oils

Don't cheap out on PSU.

Anyone know a good motherboard for an OC 3700x/2080S?

Any particular reason? Was just browsing cases and found a few of these types and was thinking of going that way and maybe fitting it into a shelf system for looks, but I have a perfectly functional older Corsair case lying around whose only real weakness is no real sound dampening.

Short circuit, bad capacitor/mosfet, poor quality capacitor/mosfets (MSI is known for this so to see two different webm's is not surprising, even their motherboards often go up in flames) or terrible PSU.

It's a very demanding game. Maintaining a good FPS at 1000 troops on the field is no small feat. Name a more demanding PC game, genuinely

That was me last week. how the fuck did this happen? I was grounded, had my anti-static band on, and was delicate as hell.

What does keeping your hands clean and dry have to do with building a PC? I've been 5 PCs so far.

wtf i bought a 512 NVME and cost me almost 200 trudeau dubloons, but that was a few months ago, shit seems to be better now

Well there is your problem, you had a snake inside your PC.

nothing lul

You didn't boop the snoot.

The only way I can see this happening is if the user tried to jerryrig some HP or Dell OEM PSU into their build. The ATX12V standard has been around for decades now to prevent retards plugging things into the wrong holes.

poor leaf

How did you determine the mobo died?

i welcome you to try to use cables from your EVGA psu on your corsair PSU, make sure to video it and post the results here as well

Ive literally have never used a static wrist band and have built and repaired a few computers. You probably did something dumb like scratch the motherboard or let the paste seep into the socket.
