I just found this on AliExpress: https://a.aliexpress.com/\_mNRDw91
90 sold, could be legit or a scam. Personally ive never used aliexpress but a few yters use it and seems fine.
Thoughts?
I bought myself a 5500x3d for a nice price and now its time to find an am4 motherboard. I figured that its likely that if I were to buy one used it would might need a bios update.
My roommate has a 1600 that I could use incase if the bios isnt updated but my question stands there.
If flashing a new bios tends to remove gen 1 ryzen support, would that brick the motherboard since it wouldnt be able to detect the 1600 anymore? What should i do in this situation
title says it all. pref one thats updated for a 5500x3d

Bought a used 3080 and I dont have the 2nd pcie cable for the PSU. Built my pc 4 years and threw out the cable; either that or its my parents house 3000 miles away. Is it safe to daisy chain? Im currently running a 2080 super.
Where do I even get a replacement pcie cable?
A friend of mine got his rtx 3060 fried after one of our other friends turned off the power strip in which his PC was plugged into.
On start, the rest of PC would turn on, fans spin, RGB lights, but the GPU wouldnt display video and the GPU light on his mobo would flash
I confirmed it was just the GPU as I tested in my system and it same issues.
Any chance of fixing it? Sounds like a 12V short but im not that qualified for GPU repair.
Currently thinking of replacing my cpu/mobo. Was planning to refresh my build by the end of the year. My current PC I build Sept 2022.
Was thinking of going used 14th gen intel, but with ram prices staying on a platform that supports ddr4 seems to be the best idea. Below is my current setup, any suggestions would be great

PC was used for a few years at a business. Will come with a licensed version of Windows 10. Can be upgraded to Windows 11
$125
legit looking for any cheap mechanical. Could be OEM, just no 100%.
Would prefer to buy older popular 60% keyboards such as the Anne pro 2.
Open to anything, if u need to get rid of something nows the time!

Current away from home and back at my parents house. I have a Lenovo IdeaCentre 510A-15ICB with the following specs:
i7 8700
2x4 ddr4 2400mhz
1tb hdd
180w propreitary psu
I also own a 128gb m.2 sata ssd, tragically the mobo wont support it.
Thought it would be good fun to upgrade the pc. Any recommendations? my first thought is getting new ram, any other suggestions would be appreciated.
Im open to doing anything, just as long as it isnt that expensive.
