Graphics Card Upgrade

i wonder how forcefully did you try to install the ram sticks such that you ended up breaking them?! Did you damage all or just 1 ram slot?

If you can't get it repaired then alas there is no other option but to get a new motherboard.

Coz i was installing it backwards.
There are but both of them cracked when tried to install only once.
It is really frustrating to hear such a news. I mean there should be some provision for repairing.

This is intentional physical damage.

More like accidental. Why would I intentionally damage my motherboard?

Finally, a local shopkeeper repaired my mobo and now i got it running. He installed the RAM somehow in one of the slots. Then i installed all the other components:
1. AMD Ryzen 5 7600X
2. Nvidia RTX 3060 12 GB
3. Corsair 650X
4. Ant esports dual fan cpu cooler
5. 1TB Crucial Nvme SSD

Notice how the RAM and CPU Cooler are installed adjacent to each other.

Since the Power Button of the Cabinet doesn't work and I tried removing the frame of the Power Button at the front of the cabinet but the screw was not moving an inch so I had to come up with this solution to turn on the system.

Bought this soundbar of Boat from Blinkit.

I also have this current problem of Corsair CX650 that it has a 15 Amp Plug which doesn't fit in my UPS since it doesn't have such socket. I researched around extension cables, surge protectors, but none were having 15 Amp sockets. Any suggestion here is welcome since I have to keep my cabinet on the bed close to the AC switchboard.

that doesn’t seem to have a 15 Amp socket

I have plenty… but will that be compatible and safe with the PSU? Corsair CX650

A 6A cable is sufficient for 220*6 = 1300W PSU.

regarding converter… you are a life saver man! I didn’t thought of it thoroughly.. i did have that in my microwave oven and since my stupid wife has purchased that just for showoff, i immediately jumped on it and took the converter to use it for my PSU
