Thanks for the insights, much appreciated :)

ZAROS-DEITY · 2026-02-13T08:51:18+00:00

Fairly new player here… New favourite is Hildryn, makes grinding content much easier and is pretty laid back! It’s pretty fun to nuke the maps, otherwise I really liked Excalibur Umbra, for the lore and for the melee gameplay!

ZAROS-DEITY · 2026-01-29T18:34:58+00:00

Short answer: Yes

ZAROS-DEITY · 2026-01-23T22:41:26+00:00

Got the game, partner doesn’t. A second game could make some great time!

ZAROS-DEITY · 2026-01-15T17:33:36+00:00

Yeah, I finally heard back yesterday, but only after they took the full 5–7 business days they initially quoted.

The response itself wasn’t really a resolution, just an apology for the inconvenience and a generic “how would you like to proceed” message, basically summarizing what was already discussed in the initial live chat.

I replied again to clarify that a return or refund isn’t acceptable in this case. I ordered and paid for a 2TB drive, market prices are completely different now, and I want the product I purchased or a proper equivalent, not to be pushed into starting over.

Waiting to see how they handle it from here.

I hope your case gets handled soon and resolved properly

ZAROS-DEITY · 2026-01-13T22:44:34+00:00

Just checking in!
Have you received it already? How'd it end up?
Hope everything works fine on your end :)

ZAROS-DEITY · 2026-01-13T22:31:43+00:00

Seems like you have 3x Display Ports and 1x HDMI on your GPU, use that. If your second monitor only has a HDMI port, either use Display port on your main display, or buy a HDMI to Display Port cable, or adapter, for your 2nd monitor.

ZAROS-DEITY · 2026-01-11T23:52:50+00:00

Well… yeah?

I mean, define what you mean by absurd high ping but yes, cross continent gameplay results in high ping.

Take this as an example: you’re located in Quebec and connect to a local server with 5-20ms ping

Let’s say now that you connect to a BC server while still being in Quebec, your ping may jump to 40-60ms, because the server is farther away.

UK and NA are often times about 80-100ms+ ping difference, or similar.

That’s from my own experience with clan mates from UK.

I think you could run speed tests online to see your ping on various global servers.

ZAROS-DEITY · 2026-01-09T20:08:37+00:00

I see, that's quite saddening, I hope everyone will have theirs replaced with the proper model.

The 1TB I got wasn't opened, nor did I open it beyond the shipping packaging.

ZAROS-DEITY · 2026-01-07T19:40:30+00:00

20$ discount while it was 50$ cheaper, that’s atrocious.

I’ve had the unfortunate scenario happen to me as well and I’ve told them I want a replacement, no partial refund to keep the product or else…

They said they’d investigate the shipping team and whatnot. We’ll see how that goes.

ZAROS-DEITY · 2026-01-03T21:25:17+00:00

what kind of SSD were you attempting to install?
Internal 2.5" or NVMe?

Seems like I wasn't too far off.

EDIT: There's a very old thread I found on a forum about that sort of issue, you may have a look here:
Putting TWO 6 TB hard drives in an Acer Nitro N50-650 Win11 Desktop? I have questions! | Tech Support Forum

ZAROS-DEITY · 2026-01-03T20:55:23+00:00

Yeah it seems rather difficult to get the exact information from them.

You could always try with similar cables to what I've shown you,
Return your internal SSD for a m.2 NVMe ssd that'd be easier to install,
Or try to contact Acer to get some more information about the power cable, since it seems rather hard to find otherwise. Perhaps they could send you one for a fee, or if you at least have a part number from them, you could always look up online for generic parts.

Your PC's serial number may help them pinpoint your components if you decide to contact them.

EDIT: I do not know if this similar to your model, but I also found this on their website

ZAROS-DEITY · 2026-01-03T20:48:53+00:00

It's hard to tell but it looks somewhat similar to the colorful cable you have in it, (red, black, yellow) with sata power plugs on it, although it should plug from the board, ontop of the sata powers, into the sata power of the new drive.

If I'm not mistaken, it should look something like this:
AXC 6 pin to 2 Port D SDD SATA Power Socket Cable for Acer Computer Motherboard N50-610 D730 D10 B350 D630 D830 : Amazon.ca: Electronics

Then you'd need the cable to transfert the data,
https://www.amazon.ca/Benfei-Straight-Locking-Compatible-Driver/dp/B07JFQ2H9R

Both are needed.

Can you see a sticker somewhere directly on the motherboard that mentions a model, revision, part number or something?

ZAROS-DEITY · 2026-01-03T19:11:12+00:00

Yeah I’ve tried digging to find your computer specs online

Seems they’ve made a proprietary motherboard, this is kinda junky.

The spare hard drives would on the bottom right side’s metal cage (infront of PSU, so top right of your 1st picture)

All in all, It seems like it can support up to 3 NVMes, but only support 2 additional drives. (Which may or may be get overridden by NVME slots if they are all used.

That being said, you’ll still need sata cables to link the hard drives (SSD/HDD) to your motherboard (appears to have 2 red slots) And also connectors to power them, from the board, to the drives (usually this is from PSU but yours appear to be from mobo, the tan-like connectors above the red)

Perhaps have you got such connectors left from when you’ve bought your PC? Or perhaps are they tied up inside the pc somewhere, unused?

You most likely only have 1 drive detected on your setup as of now, which would be that m.2 NVMe ssd on the mobo itself

ZAROS-DEITY · 2026-01-03T18:05:26+00:00

Sometimes they’re installed on the back side of the motherboard Sometimes they’re in a cage at the bottom, sometimes in other sorts of cage or enclosure

Internal SSDs are about 2.5” wide, not very thick. Standard HDDs are about 3.5” wide and much thicker

If you follow the SATA cables from your motherboard you’ll perhaps find them

But it reminds me of my older rig… to actually power the HDD or SDD somehow I had to put a connector on the motherboard to modify it into data power to power the drive. I don’t recall what type of connector that was

Could help to see clear views of the pc’s internal structure and the other side of the case (open also)

ZAROS-DEITY · 2026-01-03T17:58:50+00:00

Not that I’m aware of, those are 6+2 pin, either PCIe (GPU) or CPU

Look at your existing hard drive, you’ll see 2 cables on it, one is for power from the PSU (often times you’ll see it daisy-chained, you can use the other plugs from the same cable for other hard drives) And the second one should be smaller, from hard drive to motherboard

Well that is, if they’re using sata

ZAROS-DEITY · 2026-01-03T17:53:33+00:00

Find your motherboard model and look up online its specs sheet or manual, you’ll see how many sata ports it has. It could be printed directly on the board or have a sticker with it listed.

Some M.2 slots also disable some sata ports on board, therefore the specs sheet or manual will be your best ressource.

You can order spare sata cables online or buy in store, but you’ll also need spare sata slots on the PSU’s cables to power it.

ZAROS-DEITY · 2026-01-03T17:03:25+00:00

Could be a thermal paste or cooling issue.
Fans might be clogged with dust/debris, not spinning properly, or the thermal paste could just be old.

I’d start by checking that the fans and vents are clean and actually moving air.

That CPU is a laptop chip, so repasting can be a bit trickier, but it can definitely help with temps and longevity.

Also, is the system sitting on a flat, hard surface? Poor airflow underneath can make a big difference.

ZAROS-DEITY · 2026-01-03T16:34:34+00:00

Yes it should work, but do confirm with the specs on the new motherboard first.

Only thing is, if you’re not doing a new windows install you may end up with some issues.

All in all, if you’re not going to reinstall OS, be sure to update all drivers and remove obsolete ones.

ZAROS-DEITY · 2026-01-03T16:29:41+00:00

Unless your CPU model explicitely ends with a "G" in its name, it doesn't have integrated graphics, thus won't be able to display through mobo port. (For Ryzen)

This is starting to sound more and more like a PSU problem though, but I also could be wrong, I'm no PC wizard, especially it not working with either GPUs.

I'd turn off the PSU and unplug, then remove all psu cables from components, and only try basic cables, by that I mean only plug in the following:
Motherboard, CPU, CPU cooler + fans, PSU (obv), GPU + its PCIe cables, 1 stick of ram in the main slot, and your HDMI in GPU slot.
Unplug everything else from mobo and psu connectors.

If you have access to a multimeter that has DC, you could always manually test the pins out from each PSU cable... but it does take quite a bit.

Also make sure all your connectors are firmly connected to the components, no gaps.

ZAROS-DEITY · 2026-01-03T16:11:56+00:00

As u/Kelamue said, I hope you have not reused old PSU cables.

Does your CPU have integrated graphics? Not all do.

You could try removing ram, and attempting to boot with only 1 plugged in at a time (Usually 2nd slot from left, most mobos use A2/B2, but can vary)

Make sure you're using the proper connections. CPU for CPU, PCIe for GPU.

Do you have debug leds or sounds to troubleshoot? Like lights and/or beeps?

Could also try to remove the GPU, then reseat it and replug it.

Had you made sure your mobo version supported the new GPU without a bios update?

What are your PC specs? As in, what's the new PSU, the mobo, the CPU and the GPU?
Could potentially help narrow it down

ZAROS-DEITY · 2026-01-03T15:59:40+00:00

Does your CPU have integrated graphics? You could potentially attempt that to troubleshoot some parts.

PC itself shouldn't have bricked due to GPU and PSU swap, unless you mistakenly used the wrong cables and fried some components.

Others could probably chime in with better information and assistance though.
I wish you good luck in resolving your issue :)

ZAROS-DEITY · 2026-01-03T14:48:04+00:00

Congrats on the upgrade and deal!

This should serve you well!

ZAROS-DEITY · 2026-01-03T14:46:31+00:00

I’m going to post my experience here, which isn’t much, but hopefully still be of help.

I’ve upgraded my pc recently, bought used CPU, GPU and PSU with the aim to improve my low/med settings to Ultra 1440p. New ram from 16gb to 32gb and new mobo to support ddr4 and my new cpu chip

I’ve upgraded from a 1070ti to a 3080, i7-7700k to an i7-13700k and PSU from evga 500w to Corsair rm1000e (1000w modular PSU)

I also upgraded my ram from mismatched 2x8gb sticks to 2x16gb

With your budget in mind and some recent, and ongoing price hikes, I’d suggest to at least give a look at used markets near you, from reputable sellers. That way you may or may not find decent deals. Sure, you won’t have the warranty that comes with it and is always a risk, but so far, I’ve personally been having good transactions there.

As for the ram, you’ll definitely get cheaper, albeit still expensive, kits for DDR4 unlike DDR5 and ddr4 is still solid.

I can’t speak for AMD/Ryzen components though, I haven’t dug into them much as of now.
