I still don't understand, I even tested the PSU using a DMM with a paperclip in pins 15+16.
Many, many times. The fans would kick on for a split second, then 3 or 4 more would pass before they stayed on constantly. I thought it was a good PSU too, Thermaltake 850W Gold and sure seemed like a good deal for $70 after MIR

Thermaltake is not even a good tier PSU brand.

That's not testing it under load though.

As I said, it worked fine with another PSU. I've RMA'd the faulty one and should be getting another next week.

forgetting to put risers for my motherboard and then RMAing it as DOA got 127/150 dollars back because they didn't have the same model

BIOS problem? I just built a compute machine that failed to POST because the BIOS needed an update.

To their credit, ASUS/Newegg was great and sent a new one. I bet they didn't even check it out lol. But it's possible it could have been the mobo AND psu, wew.
I am sorry, that must have been horrible. No, faulty PSU I bought because of the rebate meme. It came in the day I sent out for RMA lol.
I replaced everything before realizing my cpu was dying . It's like getting a rare shiny Pokemon . Cpu failure is not very common

Hey Sup Forums, I'm grade-A stupid and trying to make a bootable usb via terminal.
I'm using this command: >dd bs=4M if=/home/user/downloads/parabola-mate-2016.07.09-dual.iso of=/dev/sdb1 && sync
which is supposed to be correct, but I always receive: >dd: failed to open ‘/home/user/downloads/parabola-mate-2016.07.09-dual.iso’: No such file or directory
wat fuk do

I'm too dumb to figure out how to download YouTube videos as mp3 with youtube-dl. I've tried several different formats, but I either get an output claiming that it's not a valid format or it just downloads it in the regular video format.
