What makes you think that? Nuphy has been known to ship to quite a few countries all over the world. Their “where do we ship” page still lists pretty much all of the major countries in Europe. Unless something changed very recently I would still expect that to be the case.
ASRock lists 5800X3D support on that board with bios version P4.30 and you’re running P10.31 which is much newer, so you should have no issue swapping over. All motherboards have a CPU compatibility page on the manufacturers site for checking this info.
You’re wasting your time. A CPU heatsink is NOT optional. You should just stop any troubleshooting at this point… Until you have a heatsink installed the problem will persist. It takes very little time for a CPU to hit its thermal limits and the motherboard shuts the PC down to protect it. You’re unlikely to cause any damage turning it on without a heatsink thanks to the built in safeguards, but I can guarantee the PC will not stay on long enough to really do anything with it. No BIOS configuration, no OS install, nothing.
No CPU cooler?? That would absolutely cause shut downs shortly after starting, especially with a high end chip like that.
Single 27" 180hz mini-led which will eventually get swapped for an OLED (waiting until I have more space so I can go back to a single 42" 16:9) Also a 14" secondary display that gets moved between my desk and bedside Pi for Kodi. Everything is offset due to a wall next to my chair, I can’t sit any farther to the right lol.
If the nachos aren’t soggy they didn’t get enough toppings
I’m a big fan of Fractal’s Meshify 2 (or XL version depending on the parts). Easy to build in and clean, breathes well, tons of options for just about every configuration you could throw at it. I’ve used it for multiple builds and will always recommend it.
You can get GPUs as new as Nvidia’s GTX 900s and AMD’s R9 300s which will be DVI-I capable (DVI-I or DVI-A are what you’re looking for, not DVI-D). You can then use a DVI to VGA to composite adapter chain for perfect, lagless CRT video output.
Yeah, sounds similar to what I’ve heard. Like you said though, they are absolutely beautiful. Even if I barely drove it, it would make me soooo happy to just see it in the driveway every day.
Current: 90 4Runner (running), 00 Malibu (not running)
Previous: 73 240z, 88 RX-7, 89 Golf Wolfsburg Edition, 89 CRX Si, 87 Civic sedan, 88 Civic sedan, 96 Civic hatch.
I want another 240z and an FD RX-7.
Swap the 5700X for a 5600X and bump the 6500XT up to a 6600 (non-xt is fine). They won’t notice any difference with the CPU swap and that frees up the money to switch to a better GPU with 8gb vram which will keep them happy for much longer. I ran a 6600 for a while at 1440p and was impressed by it especially for how little I spent. Other than that, should do fine. Silicon Power has had reliability issues in the past, not sure if they got better. I ran an SP drive for a few years and didn’t have issues fwiw, but you may want to see if there’s anything in recent reviews about their ssds.
That seems like a pretty extreme measure for protection and I have so many questions… How often are you using wet hands with your mouse? Are the vents directly below the edge of the desk/table so that any liquid would drop off directly into the vents? Could you simply push the desktop back a little and not have the vents directly below the edge where liquids might fall? Do you have a cloth mousepad that would likely pick up any small amount of liquid that might come off your hand?
There should be a gap on one side of the socket where you can lift from, as seen on the left side of this pic. Disregard the red circle, this is from a messed up pin post lol 
Nice, where’d you find the pic? I briefly looked to confirm my hunch but didn’t find it.
Probably the GPU support. Top piece screws into the body for height adjustment.
In that case, I’d be inclined to agree with Rimu about it being PSU related. I’d recommend carefully inspecting your 24 pin power cable and motherboard plug to see if any of the pins are damaged. Also, if you can, try and give each individual wire a little tug. Sometimes the pin isn’t locked in properly and when you plug the cable in, the individual pin will get pushed out.
How are your fans connected? Directly to motherboard? Fan controller? Daisy chained off one plug?
7900 XTX is a step up from the 4070 Ti Super in raster performance. If you don’t care about ray tracing and you don’t need Nvidia specific stuff like nvenc or cuda, the 7900 would be the better buy if they’re the same price.
People on the BuildAPC Sales Canada subreddit saying Canada Computers has the Gigabyte 4080 Super Windforce V2 for $1199 in store as a secret price (showing 1399 online). They also have an MSI 4070 Ti Super for $1019 online or $999 in store.
I’m pretty sure they still ship directly from China. It’s been a minute since I ordered from them but all of my orders took several weeks due to overseas snail mail.
