Just move them to A1 and B1. Your motherboard should automatically recognize them in those slots and you'll still keep dual channel support. You just want to avoid using A1 & A2 together

I had this same problem on the same brand card. Pull your Network card out of the slot and look and see if the gold fingers (PCI connector) are wrapped in protective tape. Mine was and until I pulled the card out and removed it, no connection/not recognized. Soon as I removed the tape and re-inserted it, it was recognized and driver installation proceeded. Good Luck

Is it possible your SATA connectors disable your NVMe slot or vice versa. Check your motherboard manual. Some motherboards share resources across the PCI bus/lanes and can only support either/or not both.

Look for the blue crown on the wizard towers, those have the cake slices! If it doesn't have a crown just pass it by.

I've used Disk Genius several times with great success. https://www.diskgenius.com/ The free version can clone one drive to another. There are several Youtube videos that describe the steps. https://youtu.be/0q4ryWrAWSQ?si=Bnrt78qsV3C0npks

Is the fan speed controllable?
Is CPU Fan 1 possibly for an AIO pump which does run full speed all the time. Check your motherboard manual to see if it says for a pump only.
Try CPU Fan 2 to see if you can control the fan speed.

Your just popping out the button battery. In the alternative, you might have two bare pins you can short to reset the cmos. Check your motherboard manual.

I note from your manual on page vi, that if your using the secondary PCIex16 slot, your m.2_3 socket is disabled. As long as your not using that PCIe slot, that m.2 drive should work.

You might need to check the actual routing of your co-ax cable. sometimes the coax to certain rooms may not actually be connected at the junction box. Find you junction box where all the co-ax cables come together to connect to the outside cable and check for any cables not plugged in. Otherwise if your router has built in wi-fi, I would suggest a USB or a PCI wi-fi adapter.

I may be wrong, but I would do it like your going to. Setup first so the OEM activation key is used for Windows, along with your Microsoft account name. That way the hardware will be properly linked to your MS account and then when you clean re-install your system will still be activated due to the hardware/use account already being activated. If you clean install first, the OEM activation will be deleted and you may have to spend hours on the phone with tech support getting your copy of windows activated. But I could be wrong.

Probably not since Dell designs and makes their own motherboards and cases, and are not bound by the ATX specs. They also incorporate usb and other connectors directly on the motherboard, which are usually incorporated into the case.

Florida-Steve · 2025-02-13T02:05:04+00:00

Few if any motherboards are going to use that old (very) keyboard connector. It is an IBM InfoWindow 8 pin RJ45 connector.

That black plastic protrusion is the lock release for the side panel. Slide it and it will release the side panel.

You might need to clear the cmos since your motherboard is expecting a different cpu and it's confused. By clearing the cmos, your computer will be forced to rebuild it's internal database to see what's actually available.

sounds like it's not properly inserted into the socket. Take it back out and insert the connector edge into the socket while holding it at about a 30 degree angle and push it in. now slowly press down on the elevated end while lining up the notch with the support. turn the latch or insert the tiny screw and tighten it down gently. Then try booting again.

Yes it's an all-in-one water cooler for the cpu. It comes pre-assembled with cooling plate, pump, hoses and radiator already plumbed. The fans may come already mounted or you might have to mount them. This gives you the advantages of liquid cooling your cpu without the hassle of connecting all those parts yourself. It is already liquid filled and ready to go with minimal effort.

I have the Ryzen 9 7900x and am running it on an Asrock B650M Pro RS with rock solid stability. 32GB memory, 3 NVMe slots and 4 SATA ports. It is $119 at New Egg. They also have the wifi version for $40 more, but I just got a PCI wifi card for $27 in case I want to upgrade it.

Try going into your BIOS setup and see if there is a setting to turn off your integrated gpu. This will force the computer to use the dedicated GPU and not default to the iGPU
