    Is motherboard quality really this bad?

    Dan used to motherboard reviews for H back in the day before Kyle moved on to Intel and shut down the news site. To say he was an invaluable resource is an understatement.

    Is motherboard quality really this bad?

    It is unusual that the first board wouldn't power up at all but the second one did and ran for 3 hours before it died. That's why I was stuck in bad motherboard mode with blinders on. And I'm very aware of your motherboard reviews and can't thank you enough for them. They were a buyers guide...

    Is motherboard quality really this bad?

    This is one that definitely had me so frustrated that I couldn't think straight and had to take a step back from. I got up this morning and decided to test the PSU as suggested here. I'm glad I did. Thanks all for the replies. I may not post much but I've been around here long enough I knew...

    Is motherboard quality really this bad?

    So I did some more testing this morning. Turns out it's a dead power supply. It's got 4.95v on the 5 volt rail but no power on the 3.3v and 12v rails. That's would likely explain why the RGB lights up on the motherboard but nothing else works. New one should be here Monday. philb2 thanks for...

    Is motherboard quality really this bad?

    No extra standoffs and I took everything out of the case and bench tested just in case that may be the issue. No dice.

    eBay asking users for their Social Security numbers ahead of rule change by IRS

    I'm in the same boat. Only use ebay as a LAST resort to sell anything. As such I've got a pile of parts sitting around that I really should get rid of and I haven't sold anything in a looooong time. If it weren't for this place I wouldn't even know heatware existed and I haven't sold anything...

    8TB WD Easystores all time low $130 at Bestbuy ~ ENDED

    Well that's kind of stupid. They limit you to 5 per order so I went back and placed another order for an additional drive and it went through. Kind of defeats the purpose limiting you to 5 drives when you can just place another order for more. Oh well at least I've got my 6 new drives on their way.
