For your next motherboard if you decide to upgrade to Am5 instead of getting a 1700 board, a good option would be the MSI X870 tomahawk. It has a 7 segment post code display for easy troubleshooting, 4 m.2 slots, dual USB 4 and another USB-C port (totaling 3 USB-C ports on the rear IO), and the main PCIe 5.0 x16 slot doesn't share lanes with anything else on the board. It's currently on sale in Newegg for 229 dollars

After letting it cook for a few days, the Hasan shock collar fiasco has risen to a full on Super Sektur Mega Lolcow Crossover™ event designed to sell as many comic books threads as possible. I've catalogued a dozen lolcows trying to take out Hasan and rise to become stars of their own on this post on page 666 of his thread. Stand-outs are Legal Mindset citing California state law & encouraging twitter to mass-report him to the Department of Animal Services, and Ricky Berwick writhing in a 30-second video skit.

Someone kindly requested postmarking and it already got approved so I assume Josh is already aware, so this is more of a broader PSA to thread readers that the drama has not yet metastasized & if you can think of any more retards to add to the list, let me know.
 
Requiescere in excremento to Null's motherboard. We feel your pain.




(Probably too spicy for a Youtube intro, but long enough for a drink break. Or enough buffer time to allow YouTube people to switch over to Rumble/Kick.)

Woke up today with no lights no signs of life. PC dead. I am forced to assume this is the motherboard cracking from wear after the move. Nothing else fits the bill.

It could be something shorting out around the standoffs? Try it with it the board not screwed down at all, just sitting on something insulating like cardboard.

Great, sensible solution!

Found this funny piece of Turkish rage surrounding Hasan.

Fucking dump ass Americans. Don't even have origin race.

The implication that American culture makes you abusive to animals and bring Turkish makes you good to them is great.

He has Intel. If his core is still good, all he needs is a new Z790 board. X870 is AMD

I know that. The thing to consider is that LGA 1700 is a dead socket with no future upgrade path, it may not be worth buying a motherboard to keep using the same CPU. Moving to AM5 would give more longevity and upgrade paths to his purchase, but it would cost more to do so. If he has an I9, than sticking to another LGA 1700 board is a good choice, but if he has a midrange CPU it personally wouldn't be the choice I would make

He does have an I9, he said so many streams ago. I run Intel. A 12th gen I9 still kicks ass. Don't tell the man to buy a new rig when a motherboard swap is all he needs.

Could also be the PSU. Those fry before anything else in my experience, though his board was Gigabyte... so 50/50 on that

The power supply getting fried and a Gigabyte motherboard shitting itself are both equally likely outcomes. I love my Dr.power power supply tester for this very reason. it's a cheap 15 dollar tool that every PC builder should have that will save you a shit ton of time. It beeps and the screen turns red when a power supply is either dead or doesn't have the right voltages
