    gigabyte z170n gaming 5 power led

    Hey guys, can any owners of the GB Z170N-Gaming 5 Mini Itx board confirm for me if there is a power LED that lights up on the motherboard itself when the power cable is connected to it but the PC hasn't been turned on ? Like to indicate power is flowing through ? I already swapped PSU's so i...

    Brand new pc no longer boots suddenly...

    Thanks. Ok is it wiser to attempt to RMA via Gigabyte or just purchase a brand new one from newegg ? (it is passed 30 days though so can no longer exchange) Also, I don't believe my particular board has a power LED so can't really tell if power is flowing through (Z170N Gaming 5 but feel free...

    Brand new pc no longer boots suddenly...

    Thanks rat. Sorry diagnosed which component as defective, CPU or motherboard ? I actually already tried with and without the RAM sticks. Both yield the same results so I have already ruled that RAM out pretty much since well, the PC should still at least turn on even without RAM i would...

    Brand new pc no longer boots suddenly...

    Hey guys, so I recently built a new skylake based mini itx system 2 months ago. It was working absolutely perfectly until a few days ago, all of a sudden it would no longer turn on.

    Bad Memory on Z170/Skylake build?

    Ok great thanks, I guess I will try installing the new PSU first just to rule out nothing nefarious going on there. I guess it probably doesn't hurt anyway, i'm moving from the Silverstone SX600-G of questionable quality to a Seasonic G 650RM which while larger, seems to have gotten much better...

    Bad Memory on Z170/Skylake build?

    Hey guys, was there any definitive answer on what is the culprit for the freezes ? I'm actually have very similar issues. I'm running everything on stock, no changes whatsoever in the bios or any overclocking/xmp. When booting into the desktop, I would get random freezes, like say the...

    New Skylake Build System Instability Issues

    Hey guys, so I've tried the following additional steps since: 1. RMA'ed the motherboard, and went for the Gigabyte Gaming 5 instead. Same freezing issues persist so I think we can rule out the mobo being defective. 2. Installed my EVGA 980 TI and switched to using the discrete GPU via...

    Newcastle vs Clawhammer

    the debate is arguable. 1mb cache vs 200mhz clockspeed difference. both have their advantages and disadvantages. in any case, clawhammers seem harder to come by with each passing day, so sooner or later you will be forced to buy the newcastle version.

    Need Feedback For New Rig

    That is a nice system but i would consider getting a better video card. Even the 9800XT's can't cut it these days, let alone the pro's. The video card would the main component that will bottleneck your system in benchmarks. Everything else looks fine.
