Did you select the drive to boot from? Hit Del or f2 when the computer hits the bios and check the boot order

Sometimes it seems to think the RAM is shot, but the same DIMM works on other mobo
But yes once it makes it past that it doesn't seem to think there's any HDD at all
And the one it did read my OS drive, it hung up on a flashing underscore

Finished my new build finally. Took way too long to track down the stupid gpu.

Specs:
Lian Li Lancool II case
Laser etched the glass panel (excuse the lighter imperfections, cleaned it after and they all came off, this was right off the laser)
Ryzen 5900x, Asus TUF 3060 ti, 4x16gb gskill neo 3600CL16 ram, 500gb 970 plus ssd, 8tb WD drive, 10tb Seagate drive

Overall pretty happy with it and looks pretty sweet with the lights lighting up the etching. Hard to take pictures of though as it reflects the camera light

That is nice! I wish I could hunt down a 5900x.

BIOS detects the RAM and drives then?
could be a couple of things, have you tried updating the BIOS?
have you tried changing the boot mode?

i would create a windows 10 usb installer and start from scratch.

zero clue how to update a P8Z68-V PRO
Also... boot mode?

Amazon just delivered. Will get it installed later, will look much better in please of the NH-L12S thats in there right now. Kinda wishing now I had gotten a black NR200P instead of the white one so everything would be blacked out completely.

Finished my build a couple weeks ago.

I am shoving a U12A in mine because a HDD mounted behind the PSU would probably be too tight for a side mount cooler.

I am just waiting for a Zen 3 processor and maybe an SF750 before I complete my new build.

Here's a very very similar build to what I currently have from the end of March this year. Adding tax, it comes to $2,265. 70% of that per taemo's rule comes out to $1,584. You guys think that's fair value?



Differences:
- My unit has a 3600x vs 3600 above.
- MSI Evoke OC 5700XT vs Asus 5700XT
- EVGA G6 650 vs EVGA 650 GM
- Gigabyte B450 Aorus M + wifi card vs B450 AORUS Pro Wifi
- Win 10 Pro vs Win 10 Home
- 3 extra RGB fans

It's hard to say what people will pay for computer parts right now because of the supply issues. I sold a 1070 for $300 yesterday. It doesn't make any sense to me...

[The_Rural_Juror]

I don't want to carry two systems so I prefer to sell to someone here rather than a kijiji random.

The 970 EVO Plus is better and cheaper than the WD Black SSD:

Also 3200 CL16 is pretty slow for Ryzen, if you want 3200 look for CL14 otherwise 3600 CL16 is the sweet spot for performance/value. If you're willing to spend $319, this is cheaper and a much better kit stock (Samsung B-die) and allows for both easy OC (if desired) and/or expansion to 64GB if ever needed in the future:

I can't find any of the 2 x 32gb ram in 3600 cl16. Only two slots in the mitx board.

That's also my old machine. I am not sure if the Evo Plus was available back then. New one will have an SN850 plus a Sabrent Rocket.

Mom won't let me complete my new build until I sell this. Grrarfgh.

U9S installed. Wanted to do it yesterday, but realized the fan splitter didnt show with the cooler and second fan. Showed up this morning, so I tossed it in. First installed with cooler blowing out of the case as an exhaust. CPU temps went way high under load (heaven and CPUZ stress test running). Figured due to the hot air already inside the case from the GPU going through the cooler to make it hotter. Flipped the fans around, and much better. Now I know my processor doesn't run hot at all being a Ryzen 3 3100 65W TDP, but I went from 72C max at full load with the old L12S cooler (CPU overclocked to 3.9GHz) to 68C at full load (bumped up overclock to 4.1GHz). Quite surprised that even after turning up the CPU the temps still dropped. Guess I'm just lining up for a jump to a Ryzen 5 or 7 eventually, but I dont really need it at this point. Also cleaned up and rerouted the cables a little better just for my own OCD reasons.

Interesting note though: I guess the tempered glass changes things because the CPU temps were also exactly the same with the mesh side panel intead of the TG panel whether the CPU cooler fans were set to intake or exhaust.

Looks great!

[CivicDXR]

Thanks! Now I just gotta decide if I want to fill the PSU cage face with a hard drive, or maybe a mount small LCD as a monitor display similar to what sl888 did with his Nexus tablet.

You a-holes got me into the sff thing, I want more coars, and most of the stuff doesn't transfer over.

[dirtsniffer]

These builds make me embarrassed lol. I added another ssd yesterday. Up to 3 now totaling 2 tb. Added two 120mm fans, a second front inlet fan and a pull fan for my cpu cooler. Running about 5c cooler which is damn suprising.
