Thank you! I'm going to try mounting everything again with the CPU and Mobo replacements. If there's still no luck I'll likely lug everything over to a local PC repair store and have them diagnose since I don't have any spare parts lying around. Just praying that it's not my EVGA 2080ti gpu :(

I do not have a second psu to test with. What connectors would I need to hook my case fans up to the psu?

Good thoughts. If it were bad ram wouldn’t the speakers beep? And if it were a bad PSU would the paper clip test not work? The Corsair SF I have has a fanless mode so it’s hard to say if it’s the psu or not. I will doin once I boot but stop since there’s no load.

None of the on-board RGB lights turned on the back of the board. The Aorus doesnt have indicator lights as far as I can tell. In addition I plugged in a keyboard i know for sure works with other devices into multiple usb slots on the back and the keyboard rgb didn't light up either. I also...

This is frustrating - I got my Aorus board today as well as my new 3700X CPU and did a breadbox mount to ensure everything worked. Plugged in a USB flash drive to update bios to the newest Bios driver prior to putting everything on After everything was installed: System will short and turn on...

Hi all, Brief update on the build: Got the new CPU and Aorus X570-I Mobo in. Did a preliminary breadbox test and all components turn on when I short the front I/O panels Only issue now is that the HDMI connection isnt registering from my monitor the the 2080 TI cpu. All connections have been...

It looks like i'll probably pick up a pair of tin snips off amazon to trim those fins :(. I was hoping I could bend the fins away from the cord but it looks like it'll be much easier just to cut them.

After looking at it the new middle position may not make too much of a difference since the fins run all along the top of the cooler. If it were oriented in a top down configuration then maybe the cord would help..

That’s a good thought... I didn’t realize the power cord was movable.

Nice! So with your Aorus Mobo, you had to clip the fins off of your CPU cooler just to have it fit? Are you building in the NCase v5 or 6? When I did have the Asus mobo I didn't have a cpu fitment issue with that power cord but I fear I may have to do the same thing as you. I have the V6 If I...

Have you tried fitting the Thermalright 130mm with the Gigabyte board yet? I just RMAd my Asus x570-i for being DOA and am going to purchase the gigabyte instead. The silver arrow fit the asus without issue but am curious if it will fit the Gigabyte.

Thanks for your insight. I will be trying to fit a Thermalright Silver Arrow 130 mm CPU cooler on it and from the eyeball test, it looks like the clearance on the Gigabyte is lower than the Asus Rog Strix - and my thermalright fit the latter. My only concern were the low newegg and amazon...

Received my Asus X570-i board just to find that it was DOA. Returning it to Amazon but a replacement wont be available until Nov-January per Amazon's estimate. Has anyone had any success with the other x570-i boards? I was thinking of trying the Aorus x570-i board out as its readily available...

Which mobo are you using? My Asus rog strix x570-i came DOA and its not in stock until late november. Was thinking of giving the gigabyte aorus a try.

Very likely, though I recall triple checking that the CPU was oriented correctly and seated right before pushing the lever down. It was either I messed the CPU up the first time around without realizing it or I bent the pins during the process of removing the cooler. I also paperclip-tested the...
