Hi! I've been building pretty darn good computers for decades for myself and friends. I'm planning a new top shelf build for myself but Microcenter doesn't seem to carry many of the parts I'm interested in. I'd like to do my part to help Microcenter continue to grow and thrive in the Midwest region. If I can get an exact…
Hello all, Had a ton of power issues in my area recently, so I’m looking into getting a 1500VA UPS for my gaming PC (850W psu, i7-12700k and 3080 ti), a couple monitors, and my router, just enough to stay up for a good 10 min or so to let me shut everything down properly in event of an outage. True sine wave output would…
After the cloning, I remove the Source drive and swap in the target hard drive, should I also remove the Intel Optane chip before rebooting the computer? My desktop pc consists of a spinning HD and the Intel optane SSD to get to an advertised terabyte of storage. The software tells me the cloning operation was successful…
I got the Inland m.2 drive a couple days ago to do some Gen5 PCIe testing and found it is not linking up at Gen5. Actually worse, it doenst even link up at Gen4 unless I limit the port to only use Gen4. I believe something is happening in the jump from 4 to 5 during the PCIe ltssm where both sides tell each other they can…
Hello, recently my pc motherboard fried then it fried all my pc parts and I have no pc now. I need the pc for my work homework and gaming.This pc can help with anything and this is a opportunity to get a pc of a giveaway thanks.
I can't seem to figure out how to connect my Lian Li Lancool 205M Fans to the B450M-A II Motherboard. The fans come with 4pin female connectors for power and also 3 pin male/3 pin female connectors. The motherboard has am RGB header, but with all 4 pins. Is there any way to connect the fans to this mb? Thanks,
I bought a prebuilt pc about a year ago. I recently upgraded the motherboard and cpu cooler. This new motherboard doesn’t have enough headers for the amount of fans I have. Also doesn’t have a header for my front panel audio ports. I think I need a fan hub for the fans or possibly some fans that can daisy chain together.…
i just got my new ssd and its not showing up in disk management please help me
I only have one spot in my case(92mm) where I can put a case fan, so is it better to have one intake case fan at the back, or a exhaust fan at the back? (my pc is ASUS ROG Strix GA15DK Gaming PC and changed the case fan from the default to a "be quiet PURE WINGS 2 Rifle Bearing 92mm Case Fan" that can be found in…
So I have a prebuilt pc it is a acer predator orion 3000 and the cooling system is not the best on this computer. I was wondering if I could upgrade to a bigger case but i found out my mother board is a micro atx and I want a full tower case so I need to get a normal atx motherboard to fit the bigger case I have the two…
any idea how i can trouble shoot this because i have tried everything i can think off and nothing happens. The motherboard rgb lights up but nothing else turns on when the power button is held down.
I'm having an issue with my back and front fans rgb not working properly, the cooler works fine just nothing else. If anyone's had a similar problem or could provide some ideas I would appreciate it.
Just wanted to get an idea on what folks are using for room RGB control and sync. I saw COrsair touting Nanoleaf control with iCue and it made me curious what combinations are working for people out there.
Hello, If I purchase ALL of my components outside of Micro Center and bring them in myself, will Micro Center still be able to build the PC for me?
do you have the free ASUS Z590-PLUS TUF Gaming WiFi Intel LGA 1200 ATX Motherboard with the purchase of intel core i7 ?
Hi all, I just finished a build for a customer, and wanted to pass along something I found that you may run into if you haven't already. A recent Lian Li Uni fans controller update may show signs of not working after the update, you may get a message stating that the controller cannot be found. I was able to narrow this…
This is for my monitor 40 Pin connector. Any help would be welcome
I have an Inland Professional 512 GB SSD installed in my computer in June of 2020. Serial # shows in System Info as 0C604C23. It's working fine. I just do not have the technical specs or warranty information. I'm trying to evaluate the health of that drive given power on hours of 6394 and annualized workload of 28.68 TB/yr…
Anyone know if Microcenter (St. David's) carries "ferrite beads", also known as "EMI choke"? Used to reduce high frequency electromagnetics, I want to power a motor with AC and need to run the cable through one of these things to knock out spikes. Thanks, Henry (username Raymondvillain)
I was hoping to buy an NZXT RGB and fan controller but there all sold out! I bought the last one but when we went to go pick it up and got home, it was already out of the box!
I've searched the internet and YouTube for the best quality modem/router for a 1 Gb internet service. What is the best and who has it?

Hoping someone here can help / provide a missing piece of the puzzle for me. I have a lot of old IDE hard drives that I would like to copy the information off of (if there is any because TBH I have no idea what's on most of these drives any more). I purchased a Fideco USB3.0 to SATA or IDE adapter converter (because it…
Checked with the expert desk before buying a MSI B560M PRO-VDH motherboard for a TrueNAS CORE (ver 12.0-U8.1) , but it looks like either they didn't know the integrated Realtek 8125B LAN interface is incompatible with TrueNAS --OR-- the MSI motherboard is defective (yes, I did check the BIOS to make sure the LAN interface…
I have this VGA to USB-B and it connects a Cognex Camera through the VGA and is also powered through the VGA with the USB-B cable to my computer. I really like to find another one.
Does anyone know where I can get more NZXT AER RGB Fan Connection Cables? I reached out to NZXT but they haven't gotten back to me. I can't find them online.
can I add a wireless network adaptor to an older Dell Inspiron 537 computer for faster internet speed?
A friend gave me a Toshiba Portege R500-S5100X which is in perfect condition. Trying to decide if it is worth upgrading to keep. I know I can add an SSD but would need more RAM to make it work properly with Windows 10. It currently has 1 GB DDR2. Anyone know where I can find out how much RAM can be installed?
Greetings, and Thanks in Advance for any assistance. Photographer and gamer, my SSD is full. All of my programs are not even installed because there isn't enough space. Decided to clone the SSD to a larger SSD. I cloned sector by sector using Macrium Reflect 8 Pro. The clone is reading in the bios as Windows Bootable…
