is this any good?

[odd vessel]

Yeah everything on there is good. Should give good performance and cooling. 9800x3d is best you'll get for performance with a 4080 super

It includes the lcd cooler so yeah that is with everything

Motherboard has WiFi which is good till you get ethernet working

Everything looks good

[lament marsh]

ok perfect thanks i think im just going to say fuck it and order it tommorow then because im just getting pissed off and frustrated now the more i drag it on

and i probably wont get a response from the support people

[odd vessel]

Probably best as otherwise you'll get caught up in the Christmas last minute orders as many will be getting for presents

[lethal glade]

100% what Simpson said, the closer it'll get too Christmas the busier they'll get I imagine, You can opt for the fast-track service aswell to get it that little bit sooner

And sometimes its quicker to phone Cyberpower up, more of a instant response

[lament marsh]

Nah don’t want to pay anymore than I will already gone up a shit load

[lethal glade]

Yeah all the fast track does is quicken up the process of getting it, I think as of today it's estimated dispatch of 12th

[lament marsh]

Yeah is what it is ig

[lament marsh]

Not very happy thoguh tbh

[lethal glade]

How so?

[lament marsh]

Idk just pissed off could of had my dream pc for like 1-200 cheaper if I knew quotes didn’t save

[lethal glade]

It’s still possible to get it down a little bit, it would just be sacrificing the LCD cooler for a standard RGB,

[lament marsh]

Yeah I know just rough cuz that was one of the little customisations that I did and liked before the price sky rocketed

The £2432 wasn’t too bad

But over £2500 now is meh

[lethal glade]

I will say it's still great value for money

But the closer it gets to christmas, the prices may even go up more

[lament marsh]

mhhmm i guess

[alpine seal]

:tada: Congrats @lament marsh, you levelled up to 12! :tada:

[lethal glade]

Prices always go up at this time of the year, and then it kinda stabilizes after new year.

[lament marsh]

meh

so do i need to pay all that extra for windows?

and how does the whole thermal paste stuff work

[lament marsh]

also what on that build is pre order only

[lethal glade]

Unfortunately that’s just the price of a Windows license

I think directly it’s £119 from Windows themselves

[lethal glade]

Standard thermal paste will do, nothing too extreme

[lethal glade]

I don’t see anything on pre order at the moment?

[lament marsh]

Yeah but wouldn’t it just be cheaper to do windows myself

[lethal glade]

A legitimate key from Windows would set you back more than the key that Cyberpower offers, additionally it means there is more to do when you get it, but it's up to you.

Can't recommend any of those "keysellers" as most of the time the keys are bought fraudulently, and could result in the key being revoked.

For what it's worth, There isn't any "install fee" for the Windows license by Cyberpower, it would be slightly cheaper than what you can buy directly from Microsoft, and it does ensure you've got a legitimate copy.

[lament marsh]

Hmmm ok just seemed like it was another £100 spent for nothing

[lethal glade]

There's always alternative operating systems, which are open source and free, but Windows I would recommend for the majority of people

[lament marsh]

Hmmm ok

Guess I’ll just have to go with it then

[lethal glade]

It's one of those more "essential" options, I'm afraid

[lament marsh]

It’s probably not but I don’t know what I’m doing unfortunately so I’ll have to

[lethal glade]

It's unfortunately the price of having Windows. You can opt for not having it, but it'll mean having to source it elsewhere which can be sketchy.

[lament marsh]

yeah i mean thats what i got told to do i got told not to bother with the rip off prices and just do it myself but since idk what im doing ill just have to pay it so its guarenteed on there at least

🤷‍♂️

[lament marsh]

the anti vibration fan mounts any good?

[lament marsh]

@lethal glade

[lethal glade]

I honestly couldn’t tell you, I’ve never personally used them but most modern fans have these kinda things built into them

[lament marsh]

ok was just asking didnt know if to add them on or not

do you know? @odd vessel

or anyone

[lethal glade]

I would say you’d be fine without them,

Saves on money too

[lament marsh]

true just wanted to be sure since they were only a tenner extra

[lethal glade]

With decent fans and a decent case, you wouldn’t hear the difference anyway

[lament marsh]

ok ill just skip on them then

just tryna make sure everything else on that build/order is good

[lament marsh]

so its in the basket how do i pay for it on BNPL 12 mnth or whatevr it is

the interest free one that gives me time to pay it off

dont wanna press the wrong thing

[grand zenith]

finance checkout

Since BNPL is still finance

[lament marsh]

👍

just shows how uk people get ripped off 😂😂😂😂

then buy now pay later 12 months? @grand zenith

and i wont have to pay interest?

[grand zenith]

If you pay it off within the 12 months

[lament marsh]

ok and can pay off what i want when i want?

like say i wanna pay off more one month

or pay a bulk to start

[grand zenith]

I believe so

[lament marsh]

ok cool i should hope so

How does this buy now pay later 12 months thing work? Because I don’t understand that wording properly

@odd vessel how did you pay

[lethal glade]

You get 12 months to pay it off, if you don't pay it off within the 12 months then the interest is backdated to when it was started.

There is no minimum payment during the 12 months

You can pay as much, or as little as you want

For example, if you put £1000 towards it straight away, then you only have the remaining to pay off.

[odd vessel]

I did that one. Basically you pay in 12 months. My mum has basically set up a savings account for me so that money just gets interest then I pay off once 12 months is up. There is a £19 payment fee I think

Only issue is that if you miss the 12th month then you pay loads of interest

[lethal glade]

Hopefully BEFORE the 12 months is up? Otherwise you'll be hit with the massive amount of interest

[odd vessel]

Well we've noted the date and will pay on that day

[lethal glade]

ah good

Straight from the Lender's website.

[grand zenith]

£29 fee

[odd vessel]

The Apr only comes into account after 12 months btw

[grand zenith]

But even thats better than paying a load of interest

[odd vessel]

Knew it ended in 9

I think alternatively there are interest free credit cards but you have to have good credit and such for those. We were gonna use ours but used the limit on a holiday

[lament marsh]

dont matter i cant do that anyways so i just wasted yor guys time asking that 😂

i ordered it

[lethal glade]

whats the dispatch date

[odd vessel]

Hope you enjoy it when it comes and that it was worth the time taken to get it right

[lethal glade]

did you do fast track or nah

[lament marsh]

erm 13th i think it said

[lament marsh]

me too and al the stressing you guys out too 😂

[odd vessel]

So should arrive 16th

[lament marsh]

i just said sod it and bought it straight out

[lethal glade]

oh yeah 13th is a friday

[lament marsh]

yeah hopefully thats decent then

[lethal glade]

can always opt for a £20 excess to get it on the saturday

[lament marsh]

friday 13th oh dear

yeah im not in a rush tbh cuz i gotta move and sort alot of stuff out

[odd vessel]

You got all set up sorted now?

[lament marsh]

I’ve got all my stuff pretty much I think just gotta figure out what to do with my desk and where to put it

I have like a L shaped one that can go straight but I want it facing towards my TVs on the wall too so gotta figure some stuff out

[odd vessel]

I would go all straight as would allow you to spread things out more

[lethal glade]

Yeah I would say go straight, I've had my fair share of L shaped desks and it's always a bit meh

[lament marsh]

yeah thats what i was thinking too seems to make alot more space on the desk just gotta figure out where to fit it

again i do appreciate the help from you two especially though even if it has been all ups and downs

[lethal glade]

will the PC be on the desk? or will it be on the floor

if it's going to be on the floor, I recommend getting a little riser for it

[lament marsh]

erm hopefully i can have it on desk so i can see it in its glory

[odd vessel]

If all straight should be able to. I have mine on desk with a multiple monitor set up

[lament marsh]

yup

[lament marsh]

How do you even do that?

[lethal glade]

I think you'd contact them, and they'd just send you a payment link and they'd change it to a saturday delivery, so instead of monday, it would be saturday

But for all honesty, for the extra day or two, if you're not in too much of a rush, I'd say just wait for the monday for delivery

[lament marsh]

Yeah I’m not was just curious that all

👌

[lament marsh]

Will it come with any kinda instructions manuals or anything?

[odd vessel]

Yeah there will be a qr code on the back that will direct you to a video on how to set up your pc

Make sure to plug hdmi/display port into the gpu and not the motherboard

[lament marsh]

Hmmm ok will have to see when it comes then

Quick Start Guide

Before you turn on your computer, please follow these steps to ensure the system is properly prepared for operation.

CyberPowerPC UK 🔸 0333 323 7776 🔸 https://www.cyberpowersystem.co.uk

[lethal glade]

basically this

THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT

Make sure that you plug the monitors into the GRAPHICS card, and not the motherboard

always use 2B, not 2A in yellow

[lament marsh]

👌 ok how many display ports the graphics card got

[odd vessel]

1x hdmi 2.1 and 3 display port

[lament marsh]

Ok 👍

[lament marsh]

How much does the faster delivery cost

[odd vessel]

From a random one I was putting together for someone I used to get the price for shipping as its same for all I'm pretty sure

[lethal glade]

As SImpson put, it'll be £69 + VAT for the 3 business days, or £39 + VAT for 5 business days

WIth VAT, it would be something along the lines of :

3 Business Days : £82.80
5 Business Days : £46.80

With regards to delivery itself, It's free next day delivery to mainland UK.

This means the next working day after the PC has been dispatched.

[lament marsh]

Ah ok was just curious thanks 👌 not really worth it

[odd vessel]

It's only really necessary to do if let's say the pc is your business and need it ASAP

[lament marsh]

How longs the system build and quality assurance stage take and also how long after that’s complete does a order get shipped

[odd vessel]

Well they don’t work weekends so if it went there Thursday Friday then it will only be for like a couple of working days max then gets passed onto packaging and shopping which takes like one day or so. What is your expected shipping date? As it should be all aligned with that

Unless you mean its only on build stage and not testing stage. Can’t remember if they’re split

Basically it should all be done for the shipping date. The expected shipping date is very accurate

[lethal glade]

Yeah it’s worthwhile mentioning that they manually do the online tracker, There can be awhile without any changes but rest assured it will be done by the shipping date, UNLESS you hear otherwise

[potent patio]

I’ve been waiting about 2 weeks for mine. Estimate ship date is meant to be tomorrow but isn’t showing as been quality assured yet but as mudkip said. They update the order status manually

[lethal glade]

It goes to quality assurance and all that jazz on day of dispatch

[potent patio]

Yeah, I had an email around 4/5 hours ago from them giving me 1 year Norton VPN and Antivirus so I took that as they are currently installing the OS or something

[lethal glade]

Think all that is just time based emails, but you'd receive an email or a text message from DPD at some point tomorrow

[potent patio]

Kinda messed up on that one tho lol. Had to do 2 orders as it cleared my first one and I forgot to remove the option to not install windows 11 home as I currently have windows 11 pro keys hahah

[potent patio]

Yeah, I just need to get this ring doorbell setup so I can tell them to leave it with a neighbour as I’ll most likely be at work when they attempt delivery throughout the week haha

[lethal glade]

Just be careful with that, as most of the time DPD will want a signature/code on delivery.

[potent patio]

Ahh right, my neighbours are sound anyway. More or less always accept my parcels when I’m not home. But hopefully closer to delivery I can try get someone to wait here for it lol

Already preloaded my SSDs with games and mod packs ready to go

Just gotta do the photorealistic cyberpunk mod pack

[lethal glade]

Yeah with regards to codes, You'd normally get a email from them with the code that you'd have to provide when they deliver, if you won't be in, potentially let you neighbours know this

Sometimes they don't ask for codes however, it's a bit of a hit or a miss whether or not they ask

[potent patio]

Ahh yeah. I’ll keep an eye out for the email then thanks for the heads up

[alpine seal]

:tada: Congrats @potent patio, you levelled up to 2! :tada:

[grand zenith]

For example both of my recent orders that have needed a code, I got asked for them

[lament marsh]

Is there any way to see my full order details and see what extras or whatever I ordered

[shrewd trench]

https://www.cyberpowersystem.co.uk/customer/orderHistory.aspx

And just click View Item

[lament marsh]

Cheers

[lament marsh]

This monitor cable that I have I need to buy a longer one I just dunno if it matters what one

Think it’s a kettle lead

[lethal glade]

Is it the monitor's power cable?

If so, Here is a 3m length

https://amzn.eu/d/7dNA7O0

[lament marsh]

Yah that’s the one

Cheers

Just wanted to make sure

[lament marsh]

Still says dispatch date tommorow that’s concerning

[lethal glade]

How so?

If you haven't been told otherwise, it will be dispatching tomorrow.

Keeping in mind, don't pay attention to the online tracker, That is manually updated and at this time of year could be forgotten about.

[lament marsh]

Ah well ok good to know

There should be some sort of tracking to know what’s going on

[lethal glade]

It normally is pretty good but with the amount of PCs they have to get out the door at this time of year, if you haven't been told otherwise, expect it to be dispatched tomorrow

and then delivered on either Saturday or Monday

[lament marsh]

👌 ok so they don’t send out any confirmation or anything

[lethal glade]

They will send out a email to let you know its been dispatched, included alongside your invoice etc

[lament marsh]

👍 I’ll keep eye out then

[lethal glade]

But 9 times out of 10, you'd probably receive the text/email from DPD first

[lament marsh]

Ahhh it’s dpd that do it ok cool

I was interested who their courier are

[lethal glade]

Yeah they use DPD for majority, with ParcelNet or similar for more high-end systems

Mine for example, came via ArrowXL, on a pallet

[lament marsh]

Good to know I don’t really know any of those couriers tbh but assuming they’re good 😂

[lethal glade]

DPD is who you'd probably have, and they're decent ... depending on area

[lament marsh]

Yeah I never had a problem with them tbh

Ordered a longer cable for my monitor

The cables these things come with these days are ridiculous

[lethal glade]

Manufacturers cheaping out

I've had monitors come with not even a meter of cable.

[lament marsh]

Yeah literally mate it’s shocking 😂

Cutbacks

Is there anything I should know or do with my pc when it comes

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.

CyberPowerPC UK 🔸 0333 323 7776 🔸 https://www.cyberpowersystem.co.uk

[lethal glade]

you plug the monitor into the graphics card

not the motherboard

[odd vessel]

It's pretty much straight forward. The pc will come with spare parts so don't get worried you have to put all that stuff in yourself. Only thing you may have to put on is the WiFi stuff which is the 2 antennas

[lament marsh]

Ok sounds pretty simple and I think I saw those pictures before about the graphics card

What spare parts does it come with

[lethal glade]

Anything that comes with the case as standard, and any spares from the components used

[odd vessel]

Just some case brackets, intel cpu cooler brackets and such

[lament marsh]

Ah ok nothing crazy then

Heard a few people moan about lose parts or screws is that all simple stuff to fix?

[odd vessel]

Things can happen in shipping but nothing big should happen. That's why in video instructions I believe it says to just give it a quick look around to make sure all cables and such are still connected. Should be a simple fix but if you mean the spare parts then you don't have to do anything with them

[lament marsh]

Nah I just meant like general bits saw a few people say about it obviously completely understandable

But seems like that would be easy

[lament marsh]

Welp I havnt heard anything

[lethal glade]

There is still plenty of time

They normally all dispatch at the end of day

Any change on your tracker?

[lament marsh]

Nah that’s what I was looking at

Did email them but doubt I’ll get a reply now

[lethal glade]

Don't worry about it, you could get a email or text message at any point

I've seen it be as late as 7pm for some people, it all depends on when DPD gets notified, or receives it into their warehouse

[lethal glade]

Rest assured tho, If you haven't heard otherwise, it's most likely sitting in its box ready to be picked up

[lament marsh]

True they do work late I forget

Especially this time of year

[lethal glade]

Any emails yet?

[lament marsh]

nope 🫤

absoloutely nothing

[lethal glade]

Hold out, depending on where your PC was on a pallet could take them a lil time to scan them all

and you might not get the email until they’ve scanned it into their depot

[lament marsh]

true well im hoping still but idk

i didnt even get a reply from cyberpower after i gave them the order no

[lethal glade]

The estimated delivery date was today wasn’t it?

Dispatch date*

[lament marsh]

yeh says 13/12/2024

[lethal glade]

Yeah just keep a eye out, I’ve had myself not receive emails from DPD until god knows what time at night, but they’re always nippy once they’ve got it

[lament marsh]

yeah thats true i had one at like 4 summin in the morning the other day from them about something they were delivering the next day 😂😂😂😂

[lethal glade]

If I had to place a time on when I’d expect you to receive an email, maybe about half 8

20:33-20:44 I’d wager

That seems to be the time I always get DPD enails

[lament marsh]

Haha we will see I guess hopefully

I’ll let you know

[lethal glade]

If I'm right I want a medal

[lament marsh]

ohhhh you can have a big medal

[lament marsh]

do you know dimensions on my case by chance??

[lament marsh]

@lethal glade @odd vessel

[odd vessel]

I'll be able to find it probably. Just need to go back to the last link

[lethal glade]

(D) 480mm x ( W ) 304mm x (H) 464.5mm

[odd vessel]

Oh you've already got it lol

[lament marsh]

cheers fellas i was tryna look on my phone but wouldnt load

[lament marsh]

nothing 😦 so imma guess it aint coming till deep into next week

[odd vessel]

It's Christmas rush. I would give them a call tomorrow for an update. Maybe they get it out first thing and can get it on Monday

[alpine seal]

:tada: Congrats @odd vessel, you levelled up to 29! :tada:

[lament marsh]

Cutbacks

[odd vessel]

I doubt it will be deep into next week

[lament marsh]

Christmas rush no excuse any big businesses that care for customers give them updates

[odd vessel]

Cpuk give you updates through the process if you ring them or contact them. They also have to build the pc it's not just a shipping company. It's not cutbacks or anything. It's same with all custom PC builders. I know from ordering elsewhere this time of year before

Was never a guaranteed shipping date it's called estimated as things can mean it takes longer. It's important they give it all the time it needs

[lament marsh]

Ok 😂😂😂😂😂

You’re obviously going to say that you work for them

[odd vessel]

?

I don't

It's a community server I'm just a customer that wants to help others get their orders right and such. I've seen enough orders from start to end to know how it roughly goes. I mean my order was shipped a day earlier than expected. The estimated time is based on the queue so if in that time more choose rush or something takes longer than expected then that could impact shipping times

[lethal glade]

I'm actually quite surprised that it hasn't dispatched.

Normally they're pretty hands on with the dispatch dates, and normally they'd keep you up to date.

[lament marsh]

Yeah that’s the bit I’m suprised about idc when it comes as long as it does but for me communication is such a big thing

[lethal glade]

The only thing I can think of, is it potentially failed one of the quality tests

[lament marsh]

Especially for such a supposed big company

Like could at least say something

[odd vessel]

This could be it

I've not seen the Christmas rush in action before so I am willing to put it up to that. They do normally contact if something like run out of stock on something. Was the 9800x3d or ram on pre order at time of ordering? If that was the case the estimated dispatch date is a bit of a nothing burger and it takes as long as it takes

If they were waiting for more stock during the queue period then they may have been a day or two behind

[lament marsh]

Idk but they shouldn’t give a estimated dispatch date if they know that it won’t be dispatched by then

Like I said I don’t mind I just like a bit of communication it’s the least you can ask for especially when you pay so much for something

[lethal glade]

I do agree, the lack of communication isn't great, I can only imagine that during the quality checks before it was packed and ready to ship, that it failed one of the tests and required further inspection

[lament marsh]

That’s fair I’d rather that then get sent out dodgey it’s good everything gets checked thoroughly

[odd vessel]

Maybe they contact Monday. Could be lack of communication internally between the different teams? Idk but like we've said its important they spend enough time on it rather than giving more importance to the date. I would guess if it was a few days after the date they would have communicated

[lethal glade]

Yeah before any systems are sent out, they undergo all the stress testing and quality checks on all the components, and unfortunatly if a concern is raised for a component at this stage, it would delay it, I do agree they could've communicated what's happening

[odd vessel]

But if I did work for them I would have tried to chase up what was happening rather than assuming different scenarios

[lament marsh]

Yah that’s all I care about little communication

You know we arnt talking about shitty little 400-500 pound pc we’re talking 1000s would be nice to know what was going on

I never got a reply to the email neither after

[odd vessel]

We can't do anything about that. It's not good that they haven't replied but they can take a day or so to respond from my experience. We're here to give support and such so whilst it's natural to be annoyed about it we can only try to give reassurance based on experience on what we know and what we've seen

[lament marsh]

Nah I know it’s not your guys fault and you don’t know what’s going on respect that

Just from what you’ve seen and heard

[lament marsh]

They don’t even work weekends do they?

[alpine seal]

:tada: Congrats @lament marsh, you levelled up to 13! :tada:

[grand zenith]

They dont

[lament marsh]

Rough

[lament marsh]

Guess just have to wait till Monday then

🤷🏽‍♂️

[odd vessel]

Yeah

[lament marsh]

well i just got sent my vpn code 🤔

[lethal glade]

Yeah that's standard for around about this time

[lament marsh]

Ah ok just confused me because what it said at the bottom

[lethal glade]

What did it say?

[lethal glade]

Yeah I think it's because there was some delay in dispatching, that VPN code was probably just on a schedule, but the Norton, aswell as the invoice, would be sent on dispatch

God knows tho, You'd probably get the dispatch email on monday, but you'd probably be best contacting them

I can pretty much only speculate as much as you can

[lament marsh]

yeah no thats fair enough i did contact them on friday they asked for my order number i gave it to them and that was that

[lethal glade]

What time was it roughly at? I know they try to respond within 4 hours

But I'm sure you'd hear back from them on Monday, and you can find out what's going on

[lament marsh]

well i sent them the email on the thursday night they responded friday at 2 ish then nothing after

so yeah hopefully something on friday to at least let me know whats going on

[lethal glade]

I can only imagine that it was something they caught last minute in quality checks that delayed it, can't be sure tho

[lament marsh]

hopefully just that

so annoying it wa end of week 😂

[lethal glade]

Chances are it was on it's final leg, and then something caused it to fail a test

Hopefully Monday!

[lament marsh]

Welp havnt heard anything yet havnt had an email or anything

[frozen pulsar]

If I ever got a dispatch message, it was always after 3pm. Although I find calling them gets the best results for a question as well 🙂

[lament marsh]

Idk I’ll just wait and see I supposed but I’m not very happy it’s abit poor this for such a “supposed” big company

All I ask for is a little communication

[lament marsh]

Well I’ve had a update and a random email from dpd but still nothing from cyber power themselves 🤦‍♂️

[grand zenith]

If its from DPD saying they are expecting your parcel it'll be dispatched today and arrive tommorow

[lament marsh]

Well I kind of gathered that one

[lament marsh]

They finally replied to me I just hope they give a time as no one might not be home

[grand zenith]

You get a time tommorow morning

DPD text or email you when the van its on leaves the depot with your one hour slot

[lament marsh]

Hmm

[lethal glade]

Yeah DPD is normally good for giving time slots, Depending it may require you to give the driver a code when it is delivered

If you’re not in then they’ll retry a max of 3 times

The next day

[lament marsh]

Yeah they did they give a pin but obviously they don’t give a time slot until the day so idk

[lament marsh]

How big is the box it’ll come in?

Will it be heavy

[odd vessel]

It will be heavy most likely as it is a pc. Box will probably be a bit bigger than whatever size case you got but not by too much

[lethal glade]

Probably 14-16kg

Case by itself with no components is 11kg

[lament marsh]

Oh that’s not bad

My tracking app dosnt say much yet

[lament marsh]

Nvm

[lethal glade]

What's the timeframe?

[lament marsh]

18:38-19:38

So that’s perfect really

[lethal glade]

Ooooo

Hype!

[lament marsh]

Yessir

Just glad it’s a decent time

[lethal glade]

I should be home by that time from work so I expect a full unboxing

[lament marsh]

Haha

[odd vessel]

Sick it will be worth the wait

[patent drum]

been watching this thread with interest..your're going to be like a kid in a candy shop later

[lament marsh]

😂😂😂😂pretty much yeah

[lethal glade]

https://tenor.com/view/food-dance-kid-dancing-happy-boy-gif-15013202

[lethal glade]

The time is fast approaching

[lament marsh]

It’s here came earlier than on the tracking

But oh well

[lethal glade]

Ooooo!

We never say no it a cheeky wee early PC delivery

[lament marsh]

Exactlyyy

[lethal glade]

Have you unboxed it?

[lament marsh]

Thing is all my virgin stuff came today so gotta sort that out first too 😂😂

[lethal glade]

🤣

[lethal glade]

The silence is killing me!

Is it setup?

[lament marsh]

😂😂😂 nah not yet probably be later tongiht now

Virgin setup won’t setup properly

[lethal glade]

sounds about right for virgin

[lament marsh]

Yeah they’re wank but my dad won’t leave them

put your postcode in here and it'll show you fibre providers in your area

[lament marsh]

Bit of a off topic one but is there anyway to stream my phone screen to my tv

[lethal glade]

MirrorLink if your TV supports it perhaps

or AirPlay

[lament marsh]

So all these bits in this spare bag are just spares

?

[lethal glade]

Yes, should be antennas in there tho, and they'll just screw onto the back of the PC

[lament marsh]

Oh yeah I got those

What are all these instructions for 😂😂

They’re all Chinese

[lethal glade]

What instructions?

Chances are it was just items that were alongside the motherboard, cpu etc

[lament marsh]

It’s just a bunch of qr codes for stuff

[lethal glade]

Yeah it's probably just all the accessories,

[lament marsh]

Ok

Can’t figure out where this screw came from neither

[lethal glade]

Hm?

[lament marsh]

Oh wait nevermind

There was a screw rolling around in the box

I found where it goes though

[lethal glade]

Yeah that's just all the manuals

[lament marsh]

What do I need to look at in them thoguh

Cuz it shows setting up each individual piece but surely all that’s been done

[lethal glade]

Everything is done, The manuals and all that are just there as it comes with the components,

You just need to take out the packaging from inside the system, plug everything in, and boot up

[lament marsh]

Yah I need to do that in a minute

Is it easy?

[lethal glade]

Yeah it's easy

[lament marsh]

I don’t even know how to take the panel of to get in there

[lethal glade]

The panel might be held on by thumbscrews or it might just pull off

[lament marsh]

Wasn’t there an instructions command to show how to do it?

[lethal glade]

It's different for every case this part unfortunately.

But the quick start guide is,

Quick Start Guide

Before you turn on your computer, please follow these steps to ensure the system is properly prepared for operation.

CyberPowerPC UK 🔸 0333 323 7776 🔸 https://www.cyberpowersystem.co.uk

[lament marsh]

Thanks

[odd vessel]

The manual is just included as its for the case itself so if you wanted to make any changes you could. But lian li is tiawan. The qr code would take you to the video to set up by cpuk

The display port and hdmi make sure you plug into the gpu

Not the motherboard

[lament marsh]

Yeye that makes sense actually now that you said it and yeah I already see where they gotta go

So this rubber stuff on the edges of the glass I can take out now?

[lethal glade]

Rubber stuff? I'm going to imagine that was just to protect it during shipping, potentially?

[lament marsh]

Yeah just looks like a seal to protect the edging of the glass

[odd vessel]

Yeah that can go as long as the glass is safely secured on to the pc

[lament marsh]

Yeah seems good so far

[odd vessel]

Also there might be a peel on the glass too which might be satisfying

[lethal glade]

Record the peel...

[lament marsh]

Oh it was I just did the inside of the top 😂😂😂

[lethal glade]

It's requir-

[lament marsh]

I didn’t 😂😂 it was very satisfying though it was perfect

[lethal glade]

Send it back

It's ruined

[lament marsh]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Send it back to get it re packaged

So I can peel again more like

[lethal glade]

damn right

send that shit back like "I wanna peel it again"

[odd vessel]

The peel technician at cpuk must be tired

[lament marsh]

Definitely I’d say

[lethal glade]

How is it going?

[lament marsh]

What’s this mean?

Just turned it on

@lethal glade

[lethal glade]

Are all the fans spinning?

[lament marsh]

Yh

[lethal glade]

Do you have a display?

[lament marsh]

Not yet

Should I plug all that in

[lethal glade]

What I'll say is before you plug everything in, power it down, disconnect the power and just make sure all the connections to the motherboard are tight

[lethal glade]

Chances are it's just a lil bit loose from transit

[lament marsh]

Does it hold power after I unplug it? I ain’t going to get electrocuted from anything for touching?

[lethal glade]

Nah once you unplug it, maybe touch a bit of the metal case before touching components

just to be static-conscious

[lament marsh]

So what am I checking ?

Cuz I don’t understand from those instructions

I knew something would go wrong

@lethal glade @odd vessel

[lethal glade]

Nothing has gone wrong this is just making sure everything is snug

During shipping things can get dislodged

[lament marsh]

Ok well I hope so 🤞🏾

[lethal glade]

Any of the connectors on the motherboard, just give them a little push down, make sure they’re all clicked in

Even open the other side where all the cables are, and make sure that cable going from the AIO to the controller at the back is all snug

[lament marsh]

Ah the cap on the thing that shows the temperature was a bit lose could it have been that?

[lethal glade]

Potentially could’ve been actually

But just make sure all the connectors are fine anyway, it’s better to be safe than sorry

[lament marsh]

Yh I gave them a little push going to try it again

It dosnt come on straight away that light

[lethal glade]

Yeah I’d say plug everything in, monitor into the GPU, mouse keyboard etc and boot up

[lament marsh]

Ok gimme a min I’ll try it

[lethal glade]

make sure everything is all good

[odd vessel]

With shipping these things happen

[lethal glade]

especially with some of those DPD warehouse workers

[lament marsh]

Yeah nah it’s fine I understand it’s like with shipping anything

So far so good

Think the cap was loose on that was the problem

[lethal glade]

Perfect!

[odd vessel]

Yeah that's how it should be!

[lament marsh]

Niceeeee!

So it was that then cool cool

I gotta figure out my keyboard now 😂😂 how to change the lights

[odd vessel]

What brand is it

[lament marsh]

Corsair

[lethal glade]

Download iCue

[lament marsh]

They’re doing my head in rn flashing 😂😂

Ah ok I can use a program?

[odd vessel]

Should be in same software to control the lcd display

You can put gifs and images on the display

And choose what stats show up

[frozen pulsar]

Beware, icue is the devil...

[lament marsh]

Yeah I think I remember you saying that before 😂😂

Just setting up all the windows stuff rn

What do you guys use to clean your monitors and stuff with?

And the glass on the pc

[lethal glade]

youre supposed to clean it?

[lament marsh]

🤣🤣🤣

[lethal glade]

Nah I just use a monitor glass cleaner for the monitors, and just a lint free cloth for the PC

[lament marsh]

Ah ok nothing fancy then

[odd vessel]

Can also use an air thing if you feel it's necessary

[lament marsh]

Yeah for the dust and stuff was just thinking more like cleaning the glass and my monitors cuz I forgot to buy all that stuff

[odd vessel]

Or you can throw it for a quick spin in washing machine

[lament marsh]

😂😂😂 see how that works out

Spin cycle

[odd vessel]

There will be an abundance of sets on amazon or at places like currys

[lament marsh]

True true I’ll take a look in the morning it’s been a long day 😂😂 had all that problem with the virgin stuff managed to fix that myself and get rid of the engineer appointment they wanted to give me in 2 weeks time

Does the temperature keep going up?

[odd vessel]

Can do with installing loads of things. As long as its not going to 70s 80s on idle should be fine

[lament marsh]

Ok yeah I will get to all that then when windows is done

This things a beast

I love this case btw

[odd vessel]

That's good that you got it right and worth the wait

[lament marsh]

Yeah that’s the other thing I was going to say

Just wanted to say a massive thankyou to you guys especially you @odd vessel for helping me with the build and @lethal glade I know I was a right pain in the ass at times but it’s my first propper pc and I wanted to get it perfect to how I wanted it and I think I’ve pretty much nailed that with you guys so yeah thankyou 💙💪🏾

[odd vessel]

Np, im glad you're happy with it and you've finally got it. When fully sorted can put in battlestations and such

[lament marsh]

Yup for sureeee just wanted to make sure you guys knew I appreciated the help the whole time was just getting frustrated not with you guys but you know what I mean

So didn’t actually mean to be a dick at times

Things a best though very noisy and powerful

[odd vessel]

No worries. With the noise can probably help reduce that with fan curves

So fans kick in at higher temps when necessary

[lament marsh]

Yeah that’ll be something I’ll have to look at and annoy you by asking more questions about 😂

I need to order a longer cable for my second monitor

Can I use a hdmi for now?

[odd vessel]

Should be able to just make sure that's also plugged in to gpu. You may get less hz depending on what the monitor supports on hmdi

[lament marsh]

Yeah that’s all good it’s only a crappy monitor just for now I’ll get a display cable eventually

Oh nvm this monitor only has hdmi anyways 😂😂😂

Seems to be sticking at 28 so that’s cool

[odd vessel]

Guessing that's the coolant

[lament marsh]

Yah

[odd vessel]

Should be able to also monitor cpu temps. Icue you can set a playlist of everything you want it to cycle through

[lament marsh]

I got to figure out this dual monitor stuff too I know the basics but idk anything about the sound ect

And I havnt got speakers yet

Just trying to figure out all these graphs and stuff and how to read and understand stuff properly

[lethal glade]

Trust me the amount of graphs you’ll get on a PC is mad, if that’s your thing you’ll be there forever 😂

Dual monitors are pretty easy, you plug it in like a standard monitor and you can adjust the orientation, the position etc of it all in Windows, so it’s a seamless transition for the mouse going from one to the other.

[lament marsh]

Yep too right 😂😂😂 it’s the fans and temps and stuff I don’t understand really

[frozen pulsar]

Long as your temps aren't 85+ constantly, you're fine

Typically for a new build, I'd say 75 is the highest you should be getting doing intensive gaming, but I don't do super intensive gaming so I don't know. I've had mine since October, and the highest temp I've reached playing Dead By Daylight is 72

and if your basic temps are that high constantly, might be a problem lol. like right now all I have open is discord and a nowtv watching a show and I'm only hitting 45-50c

If that helps with temps 🙂

[lament marsh]

Yeah it definitely does 👌 thanks so I dont really need to touch any of that stuff then?

[frozen pulsar]

Those are my cpu/mb temps btw, temps for other components are usually much lower as well.

[frozen pulsar]

I'd say not, unless your fans are legit taking off for a holiday in spain, but someone else here maybe able to say something else

[lament marsh]

😂😂 I’ll be taking off with them if they did but yeah that makes sense should be alright then

Just mess around with the LEDs and stuff

[lament marsh]

Say I sleep my computer is that bad to do?

[odd vessel]

Honestly I would say do whichever. Keeping it on is probably best but the difference in lifetime between keeping on turning off and on sleep will probably be minimal

[lament marsh]

Ok 👌

[lethal glade]

Sweats in 14900k

[frozen pulsar]

I sweat as soon as icue starts being funky

[odd vessel]

I take it you love icue

[frozen pulsar]

Absolutely just not had a good experience with it, and I regret not posting in here before having my friend build spec for me.

[odd vessel]

I use icue and been fine since other software that contradicts it I deleted

[lethal glade]

https://tenor.com/view/jacksparrow-jack_sparrow-captainjacksparrow-captainjack-captain_jack-gif-22081901

[frozen pulsar]

Before I knew what was going on with it, it just wouldn't display my cooler, then when it did display my cooler (had to do a clean install), it turned on some emergency shutdown thing, and I guess because I had those contradicting programs it was pinging sensors left right and center and disconnecting because now touch wood I've been fine.

[lament marsh]

I don’t understand this Norton stuff because it’s asking for a code well they didn’t send me one

[alpine seal]

:tada: Congrats @lament marsh, you levelled up to 14! :tada:

[lament marsh]

Is 900 mbps good speed for steam downloads?

[patent drum]

Yes

[alpine seal]

:tada: Congrats @patent drum, you levelled up to 2! :tada:

[lethal glade]

don’t say 900 too loud, you’ll get all the bad internet people in here

[odd vessel]

900mbps dub or L

[lethal glade]

[lament marsh]

😂😂😂 ok so it is decent then

I downloaded a 100+ gb game in like 20 mins seems decent

[odd vessel]

Snail speed

Takes me like 4 to 6 hours

[lament marsh]

Damnnn ok

[lethal glade]

one of us, one of us

[lament marsh]

😂😂😂

Poor Simpson

[lethal glade]

We'll be 100%ing the game, he'll just be starting

[lament marsh]

😂😂 literally

[odd vessel]

🥲

[lament marsh]

so ive just gone to load up cod but have a problem not too sure what i need to do

idk if you guys have any ideas?

[lethal glade]

https://www.nvidia.com/en-gb/software/nvidia-app/

[lament marsh]

i have the nvidia app

[lethal glade]

If you go into the Drivers section on the NVIDA app

[lament marsh]

ahhh yeah sorry haha

[lethal glade]

Should tell you if you have a update available

[lament marsh]

i feel so dumb

[lethal glade]

don't haha

[lament marsh]

yeah it did thanks 😂😂😂

[lethal glade]

just update that and you'll be all good

[lament marsh]

getting used to all this stuff

i think ive downloaded everything i need to now app wise

[lethal glade]

trust me you'll always find something else to install

[lament marsh]

Idk what’s going on but my shit keeps freezing randomly

Then I have to turn my computer off and back on to unfreeze it’s annoying

Second time now

@lethal glade
