Everything went smoothly with the build except I am hitting high temps during both idle and load. I upgraded from a 2060 super with a 9700KF with a Noctua nh-d15. I carried this cooler over to the new build and…

My girlfriend was playing games on her PC when randomly there was "an exploshion or spark from the computer, then everything shut down".

So starting about 6 months ago my mouse started randomly disconnecting for a second or two and reconnecting and it was annoying, but I thought nothing of it until it started getting worse and worse until all my USB devices would randomly disconnect and the game I was playing would crash.

G434 with Z390 Phantom 4s/ac - Where is the C port?
My specs show that I have an NVIDEA USB Type-C port policy controller. However, the port that's supposed to be a Type-C looks like a USB 2.0 or 3.0. It's still the fastest port on my G434 at up to 170mb/s. Is the Z390 Phantom Gaming 4S/AC a hybrid that replaces the typical Type-C port? Would a typical Type-C yield faster…
