hmm i wonder if nvidia never should've allowed adapters on the 40 series and just mandated the newer psu
like "use the appropriate PSU or your warranty is voided"
like
Personally if I were to put $1,600 on a beast of a GPU I would get a new ATX 3.0 PSU to power it properly without adapter hacks.
^ this dude has a point lol

There's reports of just specific adapters from some oems being dogwater

yea 100% for sure

i can get why the adapters are a thing considering the new connector's pretty recent
i guess
sly elk
just like the old gpu probably was 😄
yea when I replaced my psu earlier this year I realized I never want to deal with extensions or adapters ever again
dreamy chasm
I just wish they vet their oems a little better when they sold the cards with them
sly elk
every time you use an adapter or extension you're adding one more set of connectors to go bad and cause weird crashes and stuff
agreed that was lame
i'm kinda surprised nvidia farmed that out
dreamy chasm
It's also just
incredibly stupid to have sold adapters that aren't right angled
considering the fact that the card is stupidly big
sly elk
ya for sure
dreamy chasm
It's just a lot of stupid decisions
I'm sure the strain issues on connectors with shoddier soldering wouldnt be as pronounced if people didn't have to bend the connectors in stupid ways just to get it to fit in their cases

4 pin is standard dummy RGB. Power and one for each color. You can control the WHOLE strip at once by variaong each pin for the color
As a huge strip
potent arrow
3 pin is what we called addressable RGB.
LET ME EXPLAIN
IM TYPING SLOW
FML MY HANDS
With addressable you don't actually just send analog voltage, you are sending PWM signal over a data pin
Which communicates with the chips on the strip
WS2801
So you can control each INDIVIDUAL LED
You can't do that on 4 pin, because 4 pin strips are basically one whole unit
And do not take a digital lone
sly elk
we're talking about corsair's rgb connectors, though
potent arrow
Hence 3 pin only needing signal, power and ground
It's the same thing
It really is the same tech
late basalt
4pin=color "blocks"
potent arrow
Ye
late basalt
3pin=unicorn puke waves
sly elk
except you can individually control the lights with either one
late basalt
4pin isnt addressable
potent arrow
I mean kyanche it's the strips that matter
Not the connector
Corsair just standarised their pin out
And turns off the pins that they don't need
late basalt
except you can individually control the lights with either one
4pin lets you control color balance and saturation or w/e you want to call it

It's really up to Corsair how they handle data line too

not gonna make a difference
discharging a cap through flesh is um... going to cause longterm damage, depending on how strong it is
sly elk
oh ha
I think I get it now.
the 3 pin is just data out
the 4 pin has both data in and data out
potent arrow
Why does it need data in?
sly elk
those 6-port RGB hubs are acting like 1 long RGB strip
the data signal is daisy chained
that explains why you can't mix fan types on those rgb fan hubs lol
also explains why you can't skip a connector
eg use ports 1,2,6
it won't work right
potent arrow
And it's kinda back
Back to working on my project
I stg if it does it again imma just go to bed

sly elk
one thing you might wanna try is just getting 1 of each kinda cable and experimenting
you have both kinds of connector on your commander core xt
right
it's better to use the lconnect boxes anyway
then you don't have to worry about powering the LEDs

mei's wall is the source of a lot of bullshit "strats" like that though
I remember one tiresome one where you could build a wall over the death pit on the back side of gibraltar C and put a teleporter on it
so you could teleport from the bottle near the AC unit at the top of the stairs opposite attacker's spawn
and flank the defender spawn from a normally inaccessible angle
and they recently had to force a mulligan on a match in OWL because one team used wall to put a teleporter in an out of bounds location to bypass a choke on eichenwalde
so yes, mei needs to be disabled until they fix it

honda vs gm version of ev suv
it's the same basic suv underneath the skin
i wonder if the honda is cheaper

jalopnik: What car is the best sleeper car?
comments: Everyone talking about mercedes AMG and BMW M and Audi RS wagons
with big spoilers and flashy looking wheels and huge disc brake calipers
I think these guys are like 30 years out of touch if they think a station wagon looks 'sleeper'
at this point a sleeper would have to be something that looks like a crossover but actually has a v8 hiding under the hood
I'm not sure such a thing actually exists
like, a midsize chevy suv with a v8 under the hood
because when they actually put mas frijoles caliente under the hood, they usually do so in a very aggressive looking rwd/4wd dealie
also there's stuff like the v6 rav4
which is kinda fast but nobody really knows, but they're also super common
the hybrid camry was also pretty dang fast, iirc like low 5 secs 0-60

hybrids make great drag cars because you can tune the turbos and gearbox for higher RPM and wheel speed
the electric motor takes over the 0-30 with the vastly superior torque

reading about land rovers on reddit, I wonder why nobody thinks to just LS swap them

so your rollout is just suicide running the wiring for the electric

Not surprising the Honda has a far more conservative interior. Also actual buttons for controls vs the Equinox being mostly touchscreen except for a giant volume knob inside the screen? 🤔
umbral moss
I want to know who decided touchscreen = luxury
because that person is a fucking idiot and they should be kicked in the balls

@tame fulcrum i'm doin it and i dont even know what kinda fittings imma need this is a mistake

The physical controls appear to be the same to me.
^ in the honda
^ in the chevy
well, it has the same knobs anyway lol
it looks like the honda has more buttons
i think I'd eat the loss in having that grid of buttons
my jeep has a grid just like that and it's annoying to use because you have a sea of buttons that all kinda look the same
the center stack screen in the honda is surrounded by empty shiny black plastic

basically copying an EK build because I'm a basic bitch
XL
I wanted to do a reverse evo but I don't think it can fit a vertical GPU with top/bottom rads
and I don't think there's a front plate for it, though I could be wrong
with a riser cable infront of mobo, not whatever the EVO system is
also I just noticed in that build someone kinda.. didn't..
this thing is an XL isn't it?
the evo is the size of a normal 11?
cuz that GPU is ontop of the rad and fans already
the other option is trying to do just a normal mount which I wouldn't mind
cuz if I do the EK mount I get 0 expansion cards if I want them
meaning I gotta spend those big dollas on a mobo that has 10GbE
bitter girder
i need one of those for my nuts

sly elk
yea the thing is, everyone uses the O11 series cases because they're fantastic
they look good, they have great ventillation, they can fit tons of fans, they have good cable management, the power supply location is incredibly convenient
all of that, and the price is super reasonable too
every other case makes compromises

011D and the Hyte are currently my favorite to water-cool in : P

But for none water cooling, I have different choices

the hyte is the nzxt vertical sff case

@hard drift
potent arrow
Even when I was using an AIO I never mounted the fans @tame fulcrum
sly elk
I think your build looks just about right atm. I also agree that push/pull will make it cramped.
that's gonna be tough
you're veering out of mainstream PC territory into HEDT territory
i mean
I'm pretty sure doing push/pull with 2 rads will be lower performance than just having fans on 1 side on 3 rads
the difference for push/pull isn't that much
jaunty light
man this reminds me of a guy on shit what is it

soft honestly looks fine but i want hard because A E S T H E T I C S
bitter girder
i am hard
jaunty light
besides, if I do the loop like EK i have no bends anyways
sly elk
i think that both hard and soft look good
and if it were me
i'd use hard with soft in key places
jaunty light
theres times it makes perfect sense to use soft tubes
who wants to bend a 1 and a half inch chode to connect a rad to something
nobody
sly elk
so that I could maximize the aesthetic without having to fucking unhook everything just because I wanted to upgrade ram
like I'd use hard lines for the tubes going into/out of the water blocks
and then near the front of the case those would just connect to soft lines that actually hook up to the radiators/distro block or whatever
jaunty light
im just trying to decide if I want to waste an extra $100
the am4 and am5 blocks look exactly the same but EK is like no no buy the am4 one
sly elk
so that you could safely remove the water block without draining the system
jaunty light
of course the white S360s are out of stock
sly elk
it'd be funny if someone sold an aio like that

white component tax
sly elk
and ice's soft lines look wonderful
jaunty light
yes
hear me out I don't want to have to calculate the fittings difference with a P360M
2 360s should give me just about 1000W of dissipation
let me asterisk that with "EK claimed" dissipation

i mean it's still "Diy" but all I have to do is cut tubes

those things are worth taking with a grain of salt

but they do have a list of reasons why they give a psu the rating they give it

the 5800x has a hot spot because all the cores are on one chiplet
it should work with a cooler like that, but it might run warm and run the fans faster
