[delicate carbon]

There's no RGB on that model if you are referring to that

[hidden oar]

[kind walrus]

Yes

[hidden oar]

where is the storage located?

[kind walrus]

What storage do you have,

[hidden oar]

500gb

[delicate carbon]

Probably an NVMe SSD under the GPU as I don't see any sata cables

[kind walrus]

Not how much, What storage

[hidden oar]

let me check

500gb nvmeE

[delicate carbon]

On the motherboard

[hidden oar]

oh okay thank you

i have a monitor where do i plug the cables

[coral sphinx]

Monitor Cables

If you have a discrete GPU then you need to plug your monitor cable into the graphics card, not the motherboard. This can be found on the Quick Start Guide which was emailed to you, or you can download it with the /tag guide command.

Read the quick start guide that came with the PC

[hidden oar]

do i use a display port or hdmi 2.1

[wintry beacon]

display port if possible]

[hidden oar]

okay let me find one

[wintry beacon]

but its not completely needed

[hidden oar]

and do i plug it into the graphics card

[wintry beacon]

HDMI is just as fine

[delicate carbon]

Yes

[wintry beacon]

yes, plug it into the GPU, NOT THE MOTHERBOARD

[hidden oar]

dw i watch linius tech tips i know that is a no no

but will hdmi cap at 60 fps?

[wintry beacon]

oh trust me you don't know how many issues on here are resolved by that simple step

[median wasp]

no

[median wasp]

Linus is a goat

[wintry beacon]

depending on your monitor, it'll depend on the refresh rate of the monitor

[delicate carbon]

Not FPS *

[hidden oar]

it’s 165hz

[wintry beacon]

it may be able to achieve that on HDMI or for the full refresh rate it may need display port

[median wasp]

just make sure this is the highest it can go

[hidden oar]

sure

[coral sphinx]

:tada: Congrats @hidden oar, you levelled up to 2! :tada:

[delicate carbon]

If you see no display give the PC a restart because sometimes it's picky assuming you plug the DP in while it's on

[hidden oar]

can anyone help me on this

[median wasp]

Do you know what motherboard you got?

May not come with wifi and you may have a small USB wifi dongle somewhere?

[hidden oar]

oh yes i have that

what do i do with that

[median wasp]

Looks something like this yeah?

[hidden oar]

yeah

[median wasp]

Just plug it in any USB slot on the PC (preferably the blue coloured ones)

And that should give the PC wifi

[hidden oar]

sure

i have ethernet connected but it doesn’t come up

this hs came up what do i press

[median wasp]

May aswell install it

Most likely your motherboard is Asus branded? Armoury Crate is for Asus

Run your windows updates too

[delicate carbon]

It's an A520m-k Asus one

[median wasp]

Oo nice asus is the goat

[delicate carbon]

Asrock is starting to become my preferred brand now 😬

Somehow

[median wasp]

[hidden oar]

[median wasp]

beware most likely long list of updates

[hidden oar]

[hidden oar]

[median wasp]

The GPU fans only spin when reach a certain temp
