just wanna make sure nothing is damaged components wise
like my power supply or sometjiing
if something was majorly damaged, it wouldn't be turning on
but then again, if that were the case i doubt it would have even turned on again right?
yeah
Your PSU is quality enough to not kill other parts probably
that was SO weird
We don't question computers

Aging silicon
Wow 😲
Lewis does your 10900k bottleneck your 4070ti?
Sometimes my 13600k is a weird bottleneck and I have a 4070
Accent is just jealous because of my amount of cores
Idk probably I don't really notice anything tho
8 cores 💀
💀💀
Oka
... well... less chance of one breaking, the more cores, bigger chance of breaking
... right?
No, still one CCD
Why am I defending this system when I'm getting a new one
lets go! downloading everything rn
furmark at 720p
No, not the test
Like run everything at the same time
The Furmark will go on and on and on
sup
fe.deral was warned for Spamming
Yea you should be though.
ive heard even if task manager shows 32 GB
ur pc might not acc be running at that speed
ram speed and the amount are two different things
okay so like what the slight problem is
sometimes when i have quite a few things running
It wont be due to your RAM most likely
lets say fortnite, discord, google and the ram is going up and up
sometimes
if im on google
Normal
it will go slow
yeah normal if you have loads open tbh
but on task manager while i have that much open, there is not that much usage
but its fine
its not like a major issue, i just heard its common in pre builds that things such as RAM etc is not put to its acc potential
CPUK enables XMP.
thanks ❤️
hey, did a driver update last night and get on my PC this morning and there seems to be this weird issue that when i am on my first monitor, in a game and i windows key to move over to my second monitor. my screen goes black for a second then i move my mouse over to my second monitor and everything is fine. when i am on my second monitor tho and operating on there and click the windows key everything is fine and there is no black screen. ive only tested this out with fortnite and this is the game i am getting a black screen on. any help?
:one: Download the driver for your GPU from the manufacturer's website using the links below, but don't install them yet.
:two: Download the latest version of DDU by clicking the button below, clicking on the top post which is called "Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) VXX.X.X.X Released", and clicking ***Official Download Here*** in that post.
:three: Disconnect from the Internet by unplugging your ethernet cable or turning off WiFi in the bottom-right corner.
:four: Open the program you just downloaded, choose a location for DDU to be saved, then click Extract
:five: Open the Start Menu, click the power icon then hold Shift on your keyboard and click Restart. Once your PC has restarted, select Troubleshoot > Advanced options > Startup Settings > Restart, and press 4 to load into safe mode.
:six: Find the folder you extracted DDU into and open Display Driver Uninstaller.
:seven: On the right side, select the type as GPU, and the brand as the manufacturer of your GPU. Then, click 'Clean and Restart'.
:eight: Once you have loaded back into Windows, install the GPU drivers you downloaded earlier. Once they have installed, connect back to the Internet.
Update driver and getting weird issues next day is probably resolved with a DDU
do i uninstall the driver w ddu then reinstall it?
No worries, make sure to follow the steps carefully though.
Hold up if you're playing Fortnite in Fullscreen alt tabbing will most likely give a black screen
for a couple seconds
Depending on the game, this is normal..?
i mean it never happened before on my old drivers that i was on, the game would just keep rollin on my main monitor without audio, no sort of black screen
You might be right to be fair
Maybe the new driver put you off of borderless full screen?
I usually just default to DDU when update driver and then things change
Yeah just switch to Borderless Fullscreen in the game settings
guys i am very stupid 🙂
this is what i needed to do, didnt realise that the update changed it back to fullscreen and when i did windowed fullscreen it fixed the issue
Yeah some games when using Fullscreen will cause black screen when alt tabbing as it's making the game the focus
Borderless fullscreen will still render in your desktop in the background so alt tabbing is smoother but may cause slight input delay which shouldn't really be noticeable
There is a windows setting called full screen optimisation https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/optimizations-for-windowed-games-in-windows-11-3f006843-2c7e-4ed0-9a5e-f9389e535952
How to improve gaming on your Windows 11 PC by making use of the optimization for windowed games settings.
From what I understand it basically runs full screen programs as borderless window ones
yes 😅 been using this thread for the last 3 months for all my own personal PC issues, everything has been going amazing with my CPUK computer. couldn't have been more happy with my purchase.
thanks man
🥳
weeeee meet again….😭
so erm new issue is the RGB on my case fans
booted up my PC today
and they are like really dim
and just slowly cycling throw colours
no response to my remote control
just got a mind of it’s own now
any suggestions?
my case fans are the stanard cyber power PC case fans
How to use your CyberPowerPC UK RGB Remote Control
The remote you have received is to control the lighting on your CyberPowerPC UK RGB fans. Take a look at the image below and then we'll go through each section.
Power Button:
This will turn your fan lighting on and off.
AUTO:
This button will reset the fans back to the original setting which is just a regular rainbow cycle.
M/B:
This button is used to swap the RGB control from the remote to your motherboard software. This is only to be used if your Cyberpower fan hub has been connected to your motherboard via the RGB cable.
S+/S- :
These buttons are to control the speed of the lighting effect currently being used on the fans, there are 3 levels to choose from.. For example if you have the fans cycling through every colour you can increase/decrease the speed at which it will change colours).
M+/M- :
These buttons will change the actual lighting effect/mode on the fans. You can decide whether you want it on full rainbow or fixed on one colour.
Brightness:
Use these buttons to change the brightness level of the lighting effect on your RGB fans. There are 3 levels to choose from.
Manual Colour Buttons:
If a lighting effect does not fit your setup and you just want a single colour to illuminate your room you can choose from 12 pre-set colours options using these buttons.
Try using motherboard software maybe?
how do i get the motherboard software tho?
Msi Center
ive opened msi center, struggling to find case fan control
Mystic light
you’re gonna have to listen to this on full volume but every time i turn on my pc there is this high pitch noise. i can’t tell if it’s a really long beep or something wrong with the fans?
My fans do the same sadly
and i’m having no luck with the RGB also
just seems to have died
idk
working fine last night
Oh turn the PC off go to the metal side panel and try see if the wires are in right (hub)
Unplug and replug all fans
Are they cyberpower fans?
I had a similar issue with my cyberpower fans, and changing the power connector which goes into the back of the hub helped
If they’re cyberpower fans, it’ll be a molex connector. They’re normally daisy chained. So find another one on the chain and plug it in and hope it fixes it. If not, you may need a new hub
looks like this fixed my issue, thanks 🙂
they were all in right, unplugged them all tho and plugged them back in
awesome!
this noise is going to piss me off
tho
i feel like it’s hitting something
i just dk what
maybe like the little mesh thing
infront of the fan
i can’t tell which fan it is😭
right
i am SO confused
turns out it’s the RGB making the noise?😭
Thats common 😭
Yeah its so frustrating
No idea
This design is very human
that’s so weird so this must have been happening ever since i got the pc?
I believe so - yeah.
Oh so that’s what the high pitch sound I always hear from my pc is
hey, fans seem to be doing the same thing again today
its like they are just being controlled on its own
do u think it might be an issue with the remote?
battery replacement needing?
gonna be really annoying to take the back panel off every time i boot to unplug the fans and put them back in again
Maybe its a faulting hub, I would contact support.
:telephone: 03333-237776
:e_mail: [email protected]
:clock3: Monday - Friday, 9:00am - 5:30pm
Please ensure to include as much information about your query as possible, and ensure to include your order number if you require after-sales support.
Or remote, you can try the battery replacement
happy bday
happy early bday
atleast you can still use the PC I would guess?
yes the pc works fine but my PC was the brightest thing in my setup
now it looks like its half dim and dying
it's just looking after your eyes
and mystic light is hella confusing
update: this seemed to have worked, all i did was unplug the molex connector and plug it back in and it’s been fine for a few days
Glad it worked :)
I haven’t had any issues with mine since swapping connectors. So hopefully the issue is fixed 👍
can somebody please do the tag for the DDU driver uninstall thing
for when you do it when installing new drivers
idk the tag 😭

Confusion

booting my shit into safe mode 🫡
looking to reset my pc, been recommended to do a fresh windows 11 install via a USB bootable drive. whats the best way to go about it?
reason for resetting is because one of the programs on my computer stopped working randomly and im hoping resetting my pc will help make it work again
If you are upgrading from Windows 10, you may need to enable TPM and Secure Boot in order to proceed with the Windows 11 installation - please follow the TPM & Secure Boot guide below first.
:warning: When reinstalling Windows, you will lose any files which are not backed up to the cloud or an external drive - please ensure any files you would like to keep are backed up before continuing.
:one: Click the button below and download the 'Create Windows 11 Installation Media' tool.
:two: Follow through the installation tool, and choose 'USB flash drive' when prompted. Your USB flash drive must be 8GB or greater.
:three: Once the tool has finished, shut down the PC you're installing Windows on and insert the USB drive.
:four: Next, repeatedly press the following key while your PC is turning on, depending on your motherboard:
ASUS/ROG: F8
Aorus/Gigabyte: F12
MSI/ASRock/Cyberpower: F11
Then choose your USB drive from the list to boot from it.
:five: Follow through the installation tool. When it asks for your product key, click Skip - your PC will automatically reactivate. Make sure to select the same Windows version as you ordered with your PC, then choose a Custom installation.
:six: Select the drive in which you would like to install Windows on (you will want to install Windows on your SSD, this is typically a smaller drive), delete any partitions which already exist and then select Drive # Unallocated Space, and click Next.
:seven: Once your PC restarts, you will be taken to the first-time setup screen, where you can setup your user account and preferences.
wow, been a minute 😅
but hey i’m back again, this time i’m looking for help regarding download and upload speeds on my pc
i’m trying to find an ISP with good downloads and upload speeds
but i also wanna make sure everything like wifi card on my motherboard etc, will be able to handle high download and upload speeds
i currently have those 2 antenna’s given to me by cyberpower on the back of my pc
and i have a B650 gaming plus wifi motherboard
any type of support or guidance would be greatly appreciated
The answer is Yes
wdym by yes?
your motherboard will do fine with good internet
its wifi 6
whats the sort of max speeds the motherboard can take?
Well you wont expect it but it can somehow do 9.6gbps
Its just about the range at that point
Wifi 6E
So just get a wifi 6 router and you are set
appreciate it, crazy to see you still here after all this time😅
heh..... yeah damn that seems kinda sad that im still here 
had this thread for almost a year now lmao
not sure if you remember me or not 😹
Yeah I remember the fan troubles
honestly, amazing
the oh fuck cable management
LMAO

the setup rn 😅
@alpine mirage @prisma swan i will forever cherish this video my friends.

YOOOOOO
my setup is so much worse than that 
maybe because cable management
nah man your cable management must be good
i rmbr u showed me the back of ur pc without the back panel
everything in neat zip ties
That was someones I built for them
yee naw my desk is capble cable cable
the only nice cable on my desk is this coiled cable 
damn that keyboard is clean
I built it yesterday so I get flex rights
i was thinking about getting that popular keyboard that went viral recently
but didn’t know if it was worth the money
wooting?
sound nice?
yeah im ngl i just was thinking ab it bc tenz said it was OP😂😂
wasn’t so determinded tho
And honestly hall effect is over hyped alot
Just some linears will do the trick
what keeb do you have now?
i went budget choice
got the red dragon k530 pro
i think
sounds great and feels great for the price
ngl
OH DEAR GOD what tiis thatt
LMAO
those stabilizers are rattling SO HARD
my phone was hella close
nuh huhuhh
😭😭
uhhh but its very moddable
should i get into keyboard modifications?
Yes
where should i start
you bought this yeah?
tbh i’d rather go for sound more than sort of keyboard response times
yes this will end up sounding good
i’m scared something might break im ngl😅
i get scared to take off the key caps 😅😅
You can't really break a keyboard
the key caps be tough lmao
But when putting the switches in hold the hotswappable joints in so it doesn't break the joint
If you like those keycaps keep em but there are some reallly nice ones
you type and i’ll brb
just forget about it its too much effort 
i’m actually so down tho 😅
so when you say foam, where does that sit?
alot but I think you need different types due to compatibility
May need to buy two of these
dam
If you actually wanna get into modding just watch alot of youtube videos on your specific keyboard
that way you know what you wanna do

https://www.cyberpowersystem.co.uk/system/ultra-r75-gaming-pc does this PC build come with fans? lol i remember the last issue i had where i forgot to order fans in the first place

Nope. You’d have to select some in the extra fans section
The cooler has a fan (as it’s a fan cooler) and by default, cyberpower will add a free black fan at the back of the case. But the 3000D is an OEM case (meaning it doesn’t come with any fans)
3000D comes with 3x RGB fans

You probably don't have that build
Things update
i noticed that lol, last september i bought the ultra r75 and the case was different and so was the GPU
so with the 3 fans that it comes with it, will that include the 1 rear exhaust fan or will there be FOUR in total, 3 that come with the build and 1 that cyberpower put in the back automatically?
Probably

damn, been a whole year since i was last in this discord, im wanting to do some upgrades to my system (add an AIO into my PC) but i want to know which AIO size i need to buy to make sure it fits my case.
this is my PC case by the way 
just make your own support thread bro 😭
this is my support thread 😭 i am “federal”. just a new account
:tada: Congrats @hushed walrus, you levelled up to 1! :tada: 
any ideas on AIO size?

just to clarify, you want to double check what AIO size can fit in the Onyxia case?
@hushed walrus should be fine now
thank you
:tada: Congrats @hushed walrus, you levelled up to 2! :tada: 
yes, it's been a couple years since i bought my CPUK PC, im looking to upgrade my CPU and have better cooling
the wraith simply won't cut it anymore lol
Looking at photos, it has space for 3x fans at the front so i'd assume a 360mm would be fine. I would purchase 1x extra for the top to to maximise the airflow
@ebon cedar hello good sir. the onyxia III, 360mm rad supp ?
I believe so yes
Been a while since we sold it but yeah should fit in the front fine
the 120mm slot at the top confused me
@hushed walrus drop the team an e mail, say you need a 360mm AIO for your case and want some options -[ they'll send you some pricing through
:telephone: 0333 323 7776
:e_mail: [email protected]
:clock3: Monday - Friday, 9:00am - 5:30pm
Please ensure to include as much information about your query as possible, and ensure to include your order number if you require after-sales support.
just include your order number in the e mail so they can see you're an existing customer
would the AIO be better at the front or on top?
front
top only has 1x 120mm slot
front has 3x 120mm slots, should fit a radiator
When you ask for a quote, just double confirm it has 360mm RADIATOR support, not just 360mm fan support. i imagine its fine though
thanks
legend
anytime

can someone transfer me ownership of this thread 😭 i am the OG creator but im on a new discord account
I don’t think that’s something we can do tbh 
We can however close the thread if you want to make another 👍
i wanted my OG messages, good memories in here 
:tada: Congrats @hushed walrus, you levelled up to 3! :tada: 
all good, ig i’ll just keep typing and have to ignore the bot reminders 😭
looks like some members ended up leaving, had some good laughs with a couple, dude called accent and mudkip, hope they are doing well.
Mudkip and accent got banned
oh, well shit. 😭
learn new things every day i guess, mind if i ask why?
Plebasaurus Maximus
Accent moaned about not winning a giveaway, and mudkip didn't take too well to being muted, they were told they could appeal but they decided not to
lmfao, over a giveaway is crazy, welp its been a couple years since the last talk i had with them. wish them the best
@ebon cedar not sure if it’s you who handled my ticket, could be a different jacob. but you’re an absolute legend, cheers
I am indeed that same Jacob
Glad it's sorted! Enjoy!
