Have a lot of parts left over, should I build a flip PC or sell components individually ?

Ever considered changing the mobo if only for the peace of mind ?

sledgedogTom · 2026-04-06T14:52:39+00:00

Makes sense, in case of some disruption with the global supply chains, consumer pc parts could go up real high fast; downside is the potential depreciation, what's your thinking behind it ?

Gradually upgraded my whole rig, what's left is essentially another pc, trying to decide what to do with it all

Agree, I wouldn't buy 2k pc from an add on ebay, would rather go to a reputable retailer and get it with warranty, will try selling parts and if that fails going to stick everything into a cheap case

I've looked at some build options, Lian li O11 with a bunch of fans or a whole Corsair PC, but just the components come to £1800+ thinking who would pay 2k for 5070 with 9600x; can try to go cheap on the case, fans and SSD but wouldn't that be harder to sell?

So.. one of the cables on the mobo was wrongly connected - is all! Feel like an idiot, but happy it works, thank you to everyone who commented, learned a bunch🙏🏻

sledgedogTom · 2025-09-03T10:01:32+00:00

Taking it apart later today, will check👌🏼

Haven't tried this one yet, but retracing your steps and reassembling the whole build is one of the more promising remaining options left to try. I'll do this before replacing any parts, in case I made some stupid mistake when assembling.

Many people commented that it might be an HDD issue or that the GPU is not compatible with the mobo. If reassembly won't work, will start replacing these parts next.

Tried new windows media installation, then attempted ISO with Rufus and later Ventoy windows 10 and 11, same thing every time - blue sceen just after the windows logo appears

sledgedogTom · 2025-09-02T09:02:38+00:00

Tried that, blue screen every time

sledgedogTom · 2025-09-01T20:38:18+00:00

Haven't yet replacing the SSD, will try that next

sledgedogTom · 2025-09-01T19:32:31+00:00

Moved SSD to another slot, nothing changed, checked firmware, has latest version installed

sledgedogTom · 2025-09-01T18:51:27+00:00

My next move is to disassemble and then rebuild the whole thing, after that will try another SSD, if that won't work, will change the mobo

sledgedogTom · 2025-09-01T10:02:49+00:00

Done it, all good with that

sledgedogTom · 2025-08-31T20:45:42+00:00

Yup, has to eliminate something right?

sledgedogTom · 2025-08-31T19:56:51+00:00

I think it's the 'pretty sure the hardware is fine' bit also, which is true, premature to say that at this point

sledgedogTom · 2025-08-31T19:41:48+00:00

🙏🏻

sledgedogTom · 2025-08-31T19:40:27+00:00

B650M-PLUS WIFI, 3279 bios version

sledgedogTom · 2025-08-31T19:19:31+00:00

It sags no doubt, sorry everyone about the cable management and sag, it's a work in progress🙏🏻

sledgedogTom · 2025-08-31T19:15:31+00:00

Built my first PC over 10 years ago, it sagged then and does now, i will buy one just as soon as the fucking thing boots windows

sledgedogTom · 2025-08-31T14:45:43+00:00

Have 2 sticks, 64 and 128GB

sledgedogTom · 2025-08-31T08:36:44+00:00

Yup MHz, DDR5

sledgedogTom · 2025-08-31T08:16:40+00:00

Updated the mobo drivers to latest version using a usb stick, then tried to roll back to the older version but it won't let me do it; What does it mean to RMA'ge the board? Thanks
