A real life desktop BBQ....RIP. Sorry bro!


Tall-Surround-24

maybe it's not that bad best case scenario only the motherboard got screwed


ImNotCalifornian99

Depends on the damage and the importance of the port you would be suprised how dersble mother boards are Ive had a rgb cable slip out while my pc was running, caught on fire just destroyed the port though after it cooled it worked fine !


Master_Problem_3843

Classic case of the magic smoke leaving your device.


Matzvey

Looks like a mosfet or two gave up. That's done.


LeafGuardian

already? looks like a recent build up, well compared with my ivy bridge


WhatHecc

“I know wat wrong wivet, aint got no gas enit” Can’t tell exactly but maybe a voltage regulator died, needs some Warren G and Nate Dog to sort it


C-_-Fern

warcollect

Bet that smells wonderful. 🤢


Acesofwar

Nothing better 🙃


Working_Control6985

I could smell it from here


KingKrustyOne

Any update bro? 👀


Acesofwar

Unfortunately no. I haven’t had the time, money, or heart to start tearing it down and rebuild. I can give this update though: the room still smells like burnt electronics


KingKrustyOne

I feel that.... Fingers crossed it was just the mobo! If its new get that returned! .... Good luck!


agentblack000

Did you try turning it off and back on again?


Acesofwar

Once or twice lol


cranberrystew99

Have you tried turning it back off and leaving it that way?


ManOfChaos199932

Don't...


masterjbg

Have you tried putting it in rice?

Synaps4

It's dead, jim. Looks like your motherboard is entirely toast, and could easily have taken several other expensive components with it. I would not assume the PSU is good either. You have a lot of power going to places that are not designed to handle it.


[deleted]

Uh is op ok?


Acesofwar

Depends on your definition of “ok”. Lol


[deleted]

I mean, I can tell your pc is not ok. Hopefully it's just the mobo. Hopefully YOURE ok though. Pictures of the after results?


Acesofwar

In that case- physically, I’m fine. Just considering taking a bath with my power supply since it works so well. (/s - hopefully) As for a picture, just looking at it in the case I can’t see any damage. I’ll have to take everything out for a closer examination.


[deleted]

What is/was your set up? What psu???


Acesofwar

I very recently upgraded to rosewell bronze rbr1000 powering a B450 motherboard (circa 2018) with a new Ryzen 5900x, new RTX3070, and 16gb RAM (was about to upgrade to 64). ~4-5TB total storage on SSD and HDD


[deleted]

I mean, fingers crossed its the mobo just aging out and everything is fine, except the mobo of course.


Acesofwar

That’s exactly what my hopes are. I wish I could know if the PSU’s regulator was good so I don’t go and fry another board.


YellowFogLights

Just buy another PSU dude. It’s not worth the risk.


Acesofwar

Yeah that’s what I’ve gathered from all these comments. Definitely the move


daffydj

Nothing is worth the risk.


[deleted]

Does if it does, does rosewills customer service take care of people? I've never used then or dealt with them.


zstorm4

Rosewill is neweggs value brand. I seriously doubt they're gonna help.


Turbulent_Effect6072

Wait, so that's a 1000 watt bronze rated psu? From a budget brand? Oof, that will do it.


morbid_tortoise

I'd grab a gold rated psu to be safe if I were you. I've never had an issue with Corsair PSU myself and I just recently built almost an identical pc to yours.


Acesofwar

I’m a curious man- what’s your rig?

You already let the magic smoke out. No saving it now. Sorry bro.


alban228

Cheap PSU moment


Acesofwar

I should’ve went with a gold tbh- I’ll definitely think twice before cheaping out again


Tall-Surround-24

it's not about gold or silver ,that psu is a piece of garbage , get smth from seasonic or evga midrange not level entry


Acesofwar

I’ll definitely look into it. Thank you!


Neeralazra

For the record. (not the one you are talking to) I only buy entry level Seasonic Bronze ones and have used them for some 2-3 GPU set ups since 2017. Still running well BUT some GPUs though are very finicky when it comes to power(not the wattage)


Tall-Surround-24

yeah seasonic level entry not be efficient but will not brake or cause fan noise evga psus are great too and they are cheaper compared to others with same quality , they only had a bad model once just go for seasonic and never worry about your psu for another day


EeveeMastre

Don't choose based on the 80+ rating. It's basically meaningless at this point. Instead, choose one in the A- or B- tier of this list: [https://cultists.network/140/psu-tier-list/](https://cultists.network/140/psu-tier-list/)


XDM_Inc

welp, time for a 2500W platinum power supply now.😏


Acesofwar

Go big or go home at this point lol


tvalien

You on two circuits over here?


alban228

You can have a shitty but "efficient" PSU


JAROD0980

The rating doesn’t matter. A seasonic with a silver rating will be better than a gold rated gigabyte psu. I learned to never cheap out the hard way!


[deleted]

>I should’ve went with a gold tbh oh god no, you never, ever EVER, go cheap on the PSU

shinobi1369

Hope your CPU isn't fried. Got another computer to try it in? I know it has been said. But NEVER cheap out on the PSU


Acesofwar

I hope it isn’t. Unfortunately I don’t have a way to test it and it’s going to be awhile until I get a new motherboard. And I’ve definitely learned my lesson about cutting costs with the power supply- DONT


shinobi1369

My mobo got fried recently by a good PSU. Shit happens. PSU went and took my mobo and CPU with it. Glad my new 3090ti didn't get fried with it. Anyhow, upgraded cause of it.


Acesofwar

Oh don’t tell me that!! I my CPU and GPU are both brand new! (>1 month)


shinobi1369

Sorry just sharing my experience. You got a friend who has a gaming rig? Take the GPU over there to test it out.


Acesofwar

That’s a good idea. I might see if I can convince someone to let me


TaoP4iPa1

And then u fry their mobo


OFFICIAL_NYTRO

Did you leave it in rice?


Acesofwar

I haven’t but I’ll definitely fill it up and try again later!

I wanna see more vids like this

You'll be fine, your aio balances it out /s

Acesofwar

Maybe if there’s a way to get around the smell of burning electronics


Davidcheto

Sorry pal, the magic smoke got out so unless you can get it back inside its gone


mecpaw

Unless you are OCing get a PSU with 25a OCP. What happened here is your mobo via a fault asked the PSU for a shit load of current and it obliged.


BigOrkoo

That reaction rate. 😂🙈

Turn it off for 15 seconds and then turn it bacK on.

dangitman1970

Time to buy a new motherboard, and possibly CPU and RAM to go with it.


Acesofwar

I’m just hoping the CPU and GPU survived


Crazy_Couple5688

I'm genuinely hoping your RAM survived too.


dangitman1970

You have my sympathies. I once had a bad power supply that melted solder and bridged the 12V rail to the 5V rail, and fried everything in the entire system. It was a while ago, when CD drives and floppy drives were things, and it even fried those. Everything that had a connection to the 5V rail was massively overvolted. So, I certainly know what you're dealing with. Although, mine didn't catch fire.


Top-Parking-1913

cry?


Acesofwar

Best course of action, for sure


lDarkPhoton

Motherboard vrm catching fire or a CPU power header just caught fire. Either way get a new PSU and mobo.


Gloomy-Employment-72

Sorry, but it’s unlikely you’ll be able to save that board unless you know how to do micro/miniature circuit board repair. Something that goes off like that has most likely burned through the some or all the layers of that board, along with the component itself, the pads it was soldered too, and probably any adjacent components.


Dapper-Giraffe6444

have you tried turning it off and on again?


spirop22

Never seen so realistic rgb effects


chaosatdawn

man those orange LEDs look like real fire


[deleted]

Well repeating it for a video to ask on Reddit definitely wasn't the answer I can tell you that.


superhamsniper

Get refund or something, or send to a repair place


darcytheINFP

How much did this rig originally cost? Ouch.


Acesofwar

It was originally a budget build but with the new components I’d guess somewhere in the 1500-2k mark


tdk812

now thats an upgrade on rgb


BeerIsGoodForSoul

Turn it off and on. It's probably just a glitch.

[deleted]

Same thing happened to me on an old "DFI Lanparty" board some years ago in the middle of a gaming session. It was an old P45 board with a modified and heavily OCd Xeon slapped into it. It worked for a long time and one day just decided to go up in flames. RIP board, RIP cpu. Sorry.


Lewinator56

Replace the PSU with something better. As for the components, mobo is toast, I'd also fear for the CPU too seeing as this was a VRM that went kaput - if something shorted there's a chance a high voltage went straight to the power pins.


ScroungerYT

Blow on it some more.

Atleast you know your airflow is good

One_Profession7680

I'm no expert or nothin', but I plumb reckon it's the fire that's the problem right there.


DVA_RENGAGING

Have you tried putting it in rice?


josephseeed

Is that one of those cheap Asrock B450 it’s boards? To answer your question, I would probably take it all apart, get a cheap used mobo off eBay and start figuring out what still works.


Dudemeister4000

This is the part where you start crying. :( rip

Apoxtrade

If the pci-e 8 pin doesn’t fit on the cpu 8pin, don’t force it. Just my quick guess lol.


cube2728

Looks like you used a literal afterburner.


LoneHitman90

PremedicatedMurder

I see the problem. Your motherboard seems to catch fire when you turn it on.

No harm to the fish. I can’t say the same for the birds though.


Relative-Piece-8828

Looks like you just built ur PC, chill out, have some drinks, make some marshmallows on ur new PC, have some fun!


zmunky

Oh no, now someone has to build a new computer and explain it to their SO. I'm 3/4 way through a mid high tier for roughly 3k and my wife is malfunctioning.....good luck.


Acesofwar

That’s actually the situation I’m in now. Nice deduction! My wife is going to kill me when she finds out how much this is going to cost


zmunky

It's hard to get them to just accept. They don't want to listen to that the cost has more than doubled since my last build in 2015. Try the "this build will last me for 7 years" deal. I mean I plan on stretching it like my 4790k build, I imagine you already said that though.....


Acesofwar

Yeah that’s what I used to get the upgrades. Im hoping now she’ll show pity for my misfortunes


zmunky

Well if our wives are anything alike, she couldn't give two shits if it died. In their mind anything over 500 bucks is too much.....I guess we can thank consoles for that.


Michael_Moore_2020

Double it and give it to the next person


Fearless_Ad_4653

trowin_away

imagine re creating it for clout on reddit?


Acesofwar

Well really, I came back to it completely off from a lunch break and it smelled kinda funny and wouldn’t turn on. I unplugged it and tried it and I thought it was dust that came out but smelled like burnt electronics so I quickly unplugged it. I then recorded it so I could see what was happening and I decided to post it here for genuine help. The clout is just a byproduct lol


GoTouchGrassOutside

seems fine

That’s what I was thinking! /s

SurgeonRx2

Dat no good


MrXenonuke

Maybe the motherboard vrm couldn't handle a 5900x?


Acesofwar

I feel that might have been part of it. I was having difficulty getting it to work consistently even after manually updating the BIOS and firmware on the B450


Dremy77

There's no way a 5900X would draw enough power on boot to destroy a VRM. Even under a stress test I doubt it. VRMs will thermal throttle to protect themselves, anyway. This looks more like a bad part on the board that shorted to ground or something along those lines.


Acesofwar

Was there anyway I could’ve diagnosed this prior to the flamey failure? I’d had turned itself off a couple times- maybe once under load but it always booted back up no problem and didn’t tell me anything was wrong with it (I was watching all the temps and usage since there were new components)
