    PCSPECIALIST PC won’t turn on…. Help

    Which light in particular: I'm going to hazard something with CPU or RAM if you were removing the cooler. Might help to see some photos of the current mounting, etc

    PCSPECIALIST PC won’t turn on…. Help

    Where do you see this green light? And when you say switch, do you mean the PSU switch at back, or the case power button?

    PCSPECIALIST 2 year old PCS machine broken down.

    "Took to local repair guy who says the Motherboard needs replacing probably due to a firmware update." - Mmm, what? That makes no sense? Unless you did a BIOS update and it failed, but I don't think that's the case. Chancing their arm or not bothered to figure out the cause I'd say. But sounds...

    PCSPECIALIST CPU Fan speed detection error message + high CPU temps(?)

    No, the LCD version of the AIO does, I checked the manual: https://res.cloudinary.com/corsair-pwa/image/upload/corsairmedia/sys_master/productcontent/WW_Elite_LCD_Web_QSG_AB.pdf

    PCSPECIALIST CPU Fan speed detection error message + high CPU temps(?)

    So for your AIO, a tacho cable is connected to CPU_FAN to report a signal, because as you can see on booting, the BIOS is designed to check for a working CPU cooler, and if none is detected, display a warning. If the cable is correctly connected and fully inserted to CPU_FAN, then the fact it's...

    PCSPECIALIST Fans and Noise

    So three intake at front, 2 exhaust on top, 1 exhaust at rear, nicely balanced system. And I agree with Martin, getting same fans as the ones on AIO would tie it all in nicely. And you'd be able to connect to icUE to control them

    PCSPECIALIST PSA: AMD AM5 issue with over voltage requiring BIOS update

    Yeah think I read that 6400 might be the new sweet spot for AM5 RAM if this bios is stable.

    PCSPECIALIST Fans and Noise

    My advice would be to not use Asus software, not only is it terrible but it often conflicts with iCUE. I'd use getfancontrol.com instead. With that CPU and GPU combo, one front fan is not enough, I'd be looking to fill the front with three 120mm fans. The GPU needs a flow of cool air inwards to...

    PCSPECIALIST Cant update bios on gigabyte a320m s2h motherboard

    Probably worth contacting PCS directly at this point, by phone will be the quickest path

    PCSPECIALIST Cant update bios on gigabyte a320m s2h motherboard

    Agree with pretty much all you said other than it's an OEM Motherboard. I think the BIOS is OEM, in so far as PCS/Gigabtye took the standard bios update file, and altered to include the PCS logo rather than the Gigabyte one. Unfortunately they've done it in such a manner that the BIOS updater...

    PCSPECIALIST Cant update bios on gigabyte a320m s2h motherboard

    Or they'll just email it to you, that's what they did when I requested permission to update my bios, as per the T&C's of the warranty

    PCSPECIALIST Cant update bios on gigabyte a320m s2h motherboard

    I think this came up ages ago. The current BIOS is a PCS specific one, so if you try and update with a version from the Gigabyte, it won't work. PCS will need to give you the correct one. Let me see if I can find the thread... Edit...

    PCSPECIALIST Recommendation for I9 13900k motherboard and air cooler

    PCSPECIALIST Loaded default settings for BIOS trying to make SATA and second PCIe slot work, and now m.2 doesn't work

    I don't think which SATA port you use matters, unless you were running RAID or boot drives: But I don't think this is the case (no RAID and HDD and SSD are not boot devices, correct?). In older motherboards, using the M.2 slot would disable some SATA ports, as they shared lanes. But this is...

    PCSPECIALIST Loaded default settings for BIOS trying to make SATA and second PCIe slot work, and now m.2 doesn't work

    If drives are not visible in BIOS like OP says, they'll won't be available to windows, even through disk management

    PCSPECIALIST Loaded default settings for BIOS trying to make SATA and second PCIe slot work, and now m.2 doesn't work

    Assuming the SSD is SATA also, these are the only SATA ports on the motherboard. What ports do you mean by "the 2 ports visible next to the Video Card"?

    PCSPECIALIST ASUS Prime 320-k M2 SSD installation

    Ok, that's the latest. I was going to suggest if you were on an older version that updating BIOS might provide greater support. I'm wondering if a BIOS setting needs to be updated to change the M.2 type from SATA to PCIE? 🤔

    PCSPECIALIST ASUS Prime 320-k M2 SSD installation

    I wouldn't read too much on the SSD not being listed in the supported list, I don't think the list is updated with newer devices after a period. The 980 Pro is a Gen 4 SSD, while the MB M.2 slot is gen 3. This shouldn't be an issue, the SSD will just be limited to gen 3 speeds. What BIOS version...
