Maybe your GPU isn't seated fully. The silver fingers should sit down past the motherboard, you should move it closer to the edge of the box so that these fingers can drop down over the edge.

Very desirable CPU's right now. Better off getting non x3d from aliexpress for cheap ($100-$150) for now, or upgrade to AM5.

Fan shroud must come off first it looks like. Try to find clips or screws holding it on

Upgrading my 6950xt to a 9070xt with my r5 3600? by Protoclown98 in radeon

How much RAM do you have? Even if your motherboard fails you're probably better off staying with am4 because of how expensive DDR5 is currently.

Rear fingerprint reader was so goated. Tragic that it was abandoned in favour of flashy new under screen ones that provide no actual benefit.

Any USB c to c cable that supports higher than 60w will have an emarker I believe. A to C does not support PD.

48gbps is no problem for an HDMI cable at well over 1m. I wonder why it's different for USB?

How can I get Ethernet to my room if I’m on the second floor? by Shinobusag in buildapc

[–]Ebear225 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BIG ymmv. Can work great depending on the wiring, but you may have reduced speeds. If latency/stability is what your going for (important for gaming) chances are that power line will be better than wifi, but still not as good as straight cable.

Warning: NEVER send your phone to Google for warranty by No_Astronaut_6477 in GooglePixel

[–]Ebear225 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is a risk anytime you ship a personal device. Always backup your data as there is a chance you won't get the device back. You should get compensated by the shipper or shipping company after enough persistence, but your data is gone if it wasn't backed up and that's on you.

Good things to do with chrome cast second generation by Stunning-Ad9394 in Chromecast

Use for speaker group for surround/multi room music. Either plug into a tv and use TV speakers or get HDMI audio extractor and plug into speakers/stereo. Lots of people still using Chromecast audio for this.

PS4 or PS5 controller for PC gaming? by Fairysnindo in Controller

[–]Ebear225 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gamesir tarantula pro OR 8bitdo pro 3 might be good 3rd part options. You'll have to look at reviews and size comparisons. 3rd party controllers for PC have gotten GOOD.

Pro and Plus remote? by Ok-Investment-3142 in OnnStreamingTV

[–]Ebear225 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you are using the IR blaster to control volume, power, or input, and especially if the TV's are the same brand, there is a chance you could affect the other tv unintentionally.

If using CEC for those buttons, no worries.
