It's easy to make mistakes when building a gaming PC. Here are some specific issues to avoid that you won't find in a list of common PC building problems.
It’s time for confession. Anyone who has built a few computers knows that the process often isn’t pretty, and small mistakes can have big consequences.
It turns out that the motherboard I was using, the Asus Tuf Z490-Plus, is designed so that the RAM slots are slightly closer to the CPU socket. My RAM modules were blocking my AIO from fully reaching the CPU, so even though I cranked down on the mounting screws, I wasn’t cranking against the processor.
Ripping a CPU out of its socket I have a mini ITX PC that I move between my living room and bedroom. A few years ago, I was upgrading it to a Ryzen 7 1700X, and I used the stock cooler to keep everything as small as possible. A few weeks after the upgrade, I went to remount the cooler with new thermal paste to help with temperatures.
Breaking a USB header The USB 3.0 header is a chunky beast. I was moving a build from an NZXT H510 to a Be Quiet! Dark Base Pro 900, and everything was going smoothly. I finished the swap, but I quickly discovered that the front panel USB 3.0 ports weren’t working, despite the fact that I had the connector plugged in.
