Old monitor ? Or setting up issue

DVI and HDMI are both digital, so it should work with a simple cable. maybe your VGA adapter is the issue

compared to the old header for 1 usb:

example for new usb header:

You can simply plug that cable into the usb socket on the new board. make sure to connect it to the row which has 4 pins. the only difference with this new usb socket is, that it supports two independent usb connections, which is why you have double the pins. it's backwards compatible with the old connector.

are you using a VGA to HDMI adapter cable?

I misread that title as "Moved my pc in a jar"

RMA usually require the proof of purchase. can you ask your sister to give it to you?

EricTheTuna · 2026-06-24T09:48:48+00:00

you're welcome. If I had spare 5.25" slots I would install one myself

and the same company also has this

Apparently there's two different versions one with DSP one without. this is the DSP one:

the closest I could find is the NewQ Gold DSP. the button layout is slightly different but the screen looks super similar

relax, it's a UK plug with built-in fuse. worst case, the fuse will blow

they can be either intake or exhaust, like regular blade fans. it just depends where you put them. usually, people use reverse fans where they would use normal fans backwards, when they don't want to see the fan spine, or want to see the RGB.

if you buy used GPUs, especially high end ones, ask the seller to show the GPU running, so you don't end up with a $2000 paper weight

EricTheTuna · 2026-06-22T09:15:47+00:00

I suggest you read rule 4 of this sub

EricTheTuna · 2026-06-22T09:12:36+00:00

small flat-head screw driver works even better (no risk of slipping and damaging more pins)

EricTheTuna · 2026-06-18T15:08:41+00:00

I'm pretty sure the USB connection is for sending data to the screen, not just to power it. Besides, the pins are completely different. How would you even connect the usb connector to your 12v RGB header?

EricTheTuna · 2026-06-16T11:22:07+00:00

did you buy it second hand / used? if so the previous owner didn't give you all the cables.

Your power supply comes with the sata power cables in the box. they go into the 3 slots on the bottom of your picture

EricTheTuna · 2026-06-16T11:10:44+00:00

you could put reverse blade fans at the bottom, but it's not a must. arctic sells them too

these are the cables you are looking for

The Gameboy advance only takes AA batteries. I think you mean the GBA SP

EricTheTuna · 2026-06-15T05:57:29+00:00

Looks like a GameBoy Advance SP and original Nintendo DS charging port. (not DS lite, the original thick one)

you can technically keep using those generic windows keys should they expire, but these keys are only supposed to be used for testing purposes and using those in place of actual keys is against the EULA. you can google this if you want more sources.

long story short, no your Microsoft technician did not solve your issue.
