I feel like I'm breaking a cardinal rule but screw it, I'm building a Lian Li O11 Compact w/ Lian Li EG1000G Edge Gold PSU...those are the only Lian Li parts I'm using...PLEASE Gents any advice would be much appreciated! I have an all Corsair White Build from 2022 will post pic now.

Below is the list of the components I have on hand. I guess I'm worried that Lian Lia uses a special connector cable different than Corsair for example and I won't be able to figure it out before I start the build in 1.5 hrs. The reason I chose to not go with the Lian Li fans is simple - overpriced and the Lian Li ecosystem is not as advanced as Corsair yet.

Please if there is something I am missing let me know so I can try to go buy at MicroCenter or Best Buy before they close.
Am I good using the cables that come with the Lian Li PSU?

I TRULY APPRCIATE THE HELP AND GUIDANCE ON THIS IMPUSLE BUILD....lol!!!

Dream Whiteout Gaming & Content Creation Build – RTX 5080 + 9950X3D

Built this clean white setup for a content creator and passionate gamer who wanted a powerful machine for high-end gaming, streaming, editing, and content creation.
Specs:
• Gigabyte RTX 5080 Gaming OC
• Gigabyte X870E AORUS PRO X3D ICE
• AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D
• G.Skill Flare X5 64GB (32GB×2) DDR5
• Samsung 9100 Pro 2TB Gen5 NVMe SSD
• Corsair RM1000e
• Lian Li V100 White
• Lian Li HydroShift II LCD White

The customer chose this AIO orientation because the tubing experienced considerably more tension in the conventional mounting position. This layout provided a more relaxed tube path while maintaining both aesthetics and functionality.

This build turned out to be a dream setup for a gamer and content creator, combining top-tier performance with a clean all-white aesthetic. 🤍✨

If you’re planning a custom PC build and need recommendations, component suggestions, assembly, or competitive pricing, feel free to DM us—we’d be happy to help bring your dream setup to life.
What would you change, if anything?

GIGABYTE X870 Gaming WiFi - Can't find the M.2 heatsink or EZ-Latch

Hi everyone, I have a GIGABYTE X870 Gaming WiFi motherboard and I want to replace my M.2 SSD. The problem is that I can't even identify where the top M.2 heatsink is, and I also can't find the M.2 EZ-Latch Click mentioned in the manual. I've looked at the motherboard, checked the manual, and searched online, but I'm still not sure where the heatsink or latch is located. I don't want to force anything and accidentally damage the board. I've attached a photo of my motherboard. Could someone please point out where the M.2 heatsink is and explain how to remove it? Thanks in advance!

Gigabyte Gift Box

Won the “lucky” tier of gift box from Gigabyte after upgrading my CPU/Mobo. Received tracking info and got the calendar, hydro flask, and note pad. Was pumped, but the winning email implied I would be getting an AIO, so I was a bit confused.

Then about 2 weeks later the AIO showed up unannounced. Unfortunately I have an open loop. Honestly part of me wishes I didn’t cause this cooler is sweet!

Thanks Gigabyte!

RGB problem disable

Hello,

I recently built my gaming PC and so far everything is fine, I had installed GCC to control my LEDs. One morning, my LEDs were not working at all. So I went to the GCC but the RGB FUSION tab had disappeared. No matter how hard I reinstalled the app, nothing works. Please help me reactivate my RGB.

Thank you.

Modding 5090 Aorus master shell to a 3070ti suprimX pcb?

I plans to mod a 5090 aorus shell to a 3070ti suprimX pcb. First impression is that the board (msi one) is slightly shift to right a bit vs the 5090 shell. But since this is first time that I do some DIY thing like this, I think there's possible way to make it fit, with some modifications of course. Also about the lcd screen of the aorus master, can I convert it to connect via USB 9pin to my mobo to make it works?

Gigabyte X570 Elite backpanel audio creates high pitch buzzing on my USB speakers.

Hi everyone,

I hope that you will understand my problem here and I'm trying to give you all the details.

I wanted to migrate my stuff from an old M.2 SSD to a brand new M.2 SSD, I tried to clone my old SSD with the Windows 10 to the new one but failed. I always worked on my PC unplugged from the grid all the time and at some point when I finally finished, when I plugged back my USB speakers back to the audio panel they instantly produced a high pitched buzzing sound even if PC was turned off. I tried all the jacks from the audio panel, tried all free USBs, tried the front panel too... the same problem. I have plugged my headphones in all audio ports and there wasn't any buzzing. My theory is to blame the fact that I have worked on my PC on the rug which I'm affraid it caused some invisible static discharge on the MoBo; not sure if that's the cause, but I tried every possible way... flashed again the BIOS, cleared the CMOS, plugged out all from the motherboard: cooling fans, the GPU (9070 XT), SATA drives, turned on the ErP from BIOS and still no improvement.

If you have any suggestions I am opened to everything that can fix my problem without changing the MoBo. Thanks in advance

Problem with gigabyte motherboard

I format my PC and then it's like this, it doesn't enter anything but the BIOS and it doesn't save the changes in it and it doesn't want to enter the disk or the pendrive and the truth is that I've done everything I've taken the battery out of the motherboard, I made it a bridge, I took out the graphics card, I left only one ram, I also changed the version of the bios and even so it doesn't want to enter anything

AORUS X870I VRM heatsink

I’m repadding the VRM heatsink on my Gigabyte AORUS X870I.
The gray pad is obviously a thermal pad, but what about the long black strip? Is it also a thermal pad or just insulating foam?
Do you know the original thickness and thermal conductivity of both the gray pad and the black strip?

And what is the best replacement option?
Thank you for your answers.

B850 Aorus Elite Wifi7 SSD/M.2 Temperature when gaming.

Hey everyone, I am planning on buying a B850 Aorus Elite Wifi7 motherboard.

I noticed that they moved the primary M.2 slot and now is located directly under the GPU. It's going to be constantly getting hot air blown directly into the M.2 heatsink and it worries me.

Can anyone here that owns and is using the motherboard kindly share your SSD/NVME temperatures when gaming? What are your averages after prolonged gaming sessions?

Would very much be appreciated. 🙂

RX 9070 XT AORUS ELITE temps waaaay too high!

When I try playing Apex Legends in 4K or doing renders in Blender (1080 x 1920) my gpu instantly spikes up to 90°- 100° on hotspot and 63 on avg.. Am I stupid or is it just standard for these models? I am a little concerned...

Gigabyte gaming a16 cth brutal drop FPS.

Gigabyte Gaming A16 CTH [i7-13620H / RTX 5050]

Hey everyone, I've been dealing with a frustrating throttling issue on my Gigabyte Gaming A16 CTH and I've exhausted pretty much every software solution. Looking for advice.

The problem:

During gaming (Valorant, Overwatch), my CPU runs fine at ~55W with 300+ FPS. The moment it hits 95°C, the system instantly drops to 25W and FPS tanks to ~100. The drop is brutal and immediate.

Gigabyte monitors straight from China go hard!

If you're in the market for a cheap, high quality monitor, try to get one straight from the source, CHINA! This bad boy sent me back $150 at 2k res with 170fps! AliExpress always has a good deal on them.

Gigabyte India took my monitor twice, both units were defective, now they've ghosted me for 3 months. ₹40,046 down the drain.

I bought a Gigabyte M27Q X 240Hz monitor from MD Computers on 09-09-2024 for ₹40,046 (Invoice No. MDBHU/2500/24-25, Online Order ID #1200053). The invoice itself states "Warranty by Principal Company" so this is squarely on Gigabyte.

Less than a year in, the screen starts showing noise. On a ₹40,000 monitor. Raised an RMA.

Raised RMA KC02-25-A0021 on 08-10-2025 at Prime Infotech Kozhikode, Gigabyte's authorised service center. Took nearly a month to get a replacement unit. That replacement failed within two weeks. Same problem. Noise on screen.

Raised second RMA KC02-2610031 on 15-01-2026. At this point Gigabyte informed me the M27Q X has been discontinued and is no longer being produced.

Their proposed resolution: a pro-rated Credit Note calculated as BP ÷ 36 × months of warranty remaining. That formula gives me roughly ₹22,000 on a ₹40,000 monitor that never functioned properly for any meaningful period. Two defective units within the warranty period, and they want to pay out half.

I sent a formal notice on 16-03-2026 to Gigabyte India's support team, regional heads, and their Mumbai office. It has now been over 3 months. Complete silence. The Kochi service center doesn't pick up calls either.

All documents are on hand: invoice, both RMA acknowledgement slips, and the email thread where their own rep confirmed the discontinuation and proposed the Credit Note.

Someone on r/pcmasterrace just posted about Gigabyte Germany doing the exact same thing with an RTX 4090. Tried to gaslight him into thinking his VRAM failure was not a fault, caved only when he pushed back, then sent him a physically bent and damaged replacement card stuffed into his original box. Same playbook, different country.

Tagging u/GIGABYTEofficial — would love to know what the resolution process looks like from your end, because the India support chain has completely stopped responding.

X570 Aorus Elite XMP BIOS RESET

I really am lost, it's been going on for a while now and I've just had enough at this point, I have no idea what the hell is going on.

Turning XMP on works, I'll save and exit bios, use my computer, play games, everything is stable until I turn off my computer fully (restarting works fine) then immediately it'll go to a long boot, restart twice and the bios will be reset, comes up with reset message when entering.

I've looked online, seen others with the same motherboard say they upped the SOC voltage to 1.2 and dram to 1.4, it did no difference to anything for me.

I had 4 sticks of 8gb, I've systemically gone through each stick, 1 of my ports seems to have issues, it's the first slot 1, so I've tested each port with 1 stick and found the others work fine, 1 just didn't work with XMP enabled at all, it rebooted multiple times then went into Windows without any XMP enabled and bios was reset...

Since then I've resorted to 16gb dual channel with slot 2 and 4, it boots with XMP but resets....done the same thing with the voltages.

Things I've done to check some stuff off

I've updated motherboard, it's on the latest one.

Ran memtest86 with XMP enabled for 4 hours with no errors.

Manually set the memory speed to 3600, also tried 3466, no difference.

Tried to look for this level 3 memory option, it doesn't seem to exist on my board (makes it 3600mhz)

My specs are

5800x ryzen
