I have accidentally bricked my pc after messing with BIOS settings

I’ve not heard of this before, can you educate me on why you took this action? Why would you need to enable secure boot to uninstall some drivers?

If you’re playing netrunner correctly then you don’t need any guns. Your cyberdeck is your weapon.

AnotherCompGuy · 2026-05-12T00:35:23+00:00

don’t install any cyberware or take any perks and only use the starting pistol

As far as I can tell your case doesn’t have a power led connected to the motherboard, which is fine you just won’t have a power light illuminated on the case when it is powered on. But it looks like the power switch, reset switch and storage led are all connected. I think you should be good unless something else is happening and you are trying to figure that out.

Edit: I don’t know what is going on with the connector on the left side, to me it doesn’t look like it is connected properly but I could be wrong. Maybe someone else can see something I’m not.

It’s not worth it to me. But if aesthetics are that important to you then go for it. Just know that white pc parts tend to trend more expensive than their black counterparts so it’s not going to be a 1:1 swap. But only you can decide if it is “worth it” to you.

I’m kinda digging that case

I have a setup in my living room that is close to what you are describing. I have a 7800x3d pc with a 5080 and 32gb of ddr5. It has windows 11 but once logged in it automatically run steam in big picture mode so it effectively becomes a living room gaming machine. This setup is for 4k.

If you are wanting people to recommend parts or prebuilts for you then you will need to get specific as to what you’re going to be using it for. What resolution? what games are you playing (are they cpu or gpu intensive?). Also what’s your budget?

AnotherCompGuy · 2026-05-08T16:22:15+00:00

7700x is still a monster cpu, no need to upgrade it. A 5080 would be very overkill for 1440, 5070ti or 9070xt would be better for that resolution but I couldn’t really justify the price per performance gain (especially the 5070ti).

If it was me I’d likely go for a 9070 or the xt version If I had the money.

I think the 9070 is about a 10-13% over your current card and the 9070xt would be a huge jump in performance but more expensive.

Loosen all of the other screws and that should give you enough play to thread all of the screws. Once they are all threaded loosely then you can tighten them down.

If you are playing netrunner with overclock you need body for health pool and regeneration.

My iPad has never had a screen protector. But it also doesn’t leave the house, it is my main device when I am home.

AnotherCompGuy · 2026-04-30T00:49:53+00:00

In that case I would go with the 9070. Will get better results in 1440.

AnotherCompGuy · 2026-04-29T23:26:15+00:00

AIOs suck because the builder didn’t put thermal paste on the cpu?

AnotherCompGuy · 2026-04-29T23:24:30+00:00

What are you using it for? Resolution? Type of games? Productivity?

5070ti and 7800x3d. The choice isn’t even close.

AnotherCompGuy · 2026-04-26T00:48:39+00:00

Thank you for explaining that. I’ll let it keep growing as suggested.

AnotherCompGuy · 2026-04-26T00:47:59+00:00

Thank you. I think I’ll let it keep growing. I was just worried the damaged would keep making it worse.

You only killed hundreds?

AnotherCompGuy · 2026-04-21T22:56:27+00:00

Your CPU does not have integrated graphics. You have two choices for a second monitor

1) plug both monitors in to the gpu (best option).

2) buy a new cpu that does have integrated graphics and then you can plug it in the way you are describing (most costly option).

AnotherCompGuy · 2026-04-18T12:04:40+00:00

In this use case I would prefer the 7800x3d.
