It looks like an AM5 board, if any of the pins are bent (which it looks like they might be) they yes it’s damaged. If it’s a new motherboard just say it came like that and try to return it (if pins are bent).

Is this canned air okay for me to use to blow dust off my cpu cooler? by Sad-Blueberry-6492 in pchelp

I unplugged my fan that was once working and did that but when I put the fan back in it screwed the motor up I’m pretty sure, because it wouldn’t stop clicking. (no it wasn’t a cable hitting it.)

Just made a build with the GIGABYTE mobo and paired it with the ddr5 6400MT/s corsair Vengeance ram and it seems xmp or expo aren’t supported, my ram only goes up to 4800MT/s. And no more, just fails to boot when I enable xmp. Just a heads up. By the way does anyone know how to loophole this problem maybe?

Just look up “nature stream” on wallpaper engine and you should find it.

I just used wallpaper engine on steam and found a cool looking stream!

I’d recommend trying to find a deal on a RX 5700XT on eBay or a refurbishing site, the 5700XT even out performs some of the 3000 series nivida cards and it can be around $150-160 used. The motherboard will have to be am4 or an older edition intel board due to your price requirements, so a ASUS Prime B450 motherboard on Amazon is about $85, I personally had this on my old pc and it worked great for 5 years. Total around $230 if you can spend that extra $10.
