My cousin has a red devil rx580 which is a big boi but it’s also red and black. The outside casing looks like it separates into the board, red metal piece, and black metal piece. Is the red metal piece doing anything to disperse heat or if we use high heat paint to paint it will it be fine

tender mulch Dec 31, 2019, 6:14 PM

#

Paint is fine

#

only the heatsink affects heat

is this on all 5700xt or just the nitro+?

ancient crystal Jan 1, 2020, 9:58 AM

#

those drivers are sapphire's problem

#

getting the official AMD drivers which are going to be newer and less weird will solve that problem

worldly crow Jan 1, 2020, 10:53 AM

same thing happened to me when i had a hd 7950 and battlefield 4 came out day1 they didnt make drivers for over 3 weeks kept crashing every round

spice prawn Jan 1, 2020, 2:47 PM

as has been said before. There are no bad driver, nor are there good drivers

#

there is only drivers

#

there is way too high a variance in the level of competence both behind the screen and infront of it for anything more meaningful to be concluded.

Anyone has any tips or opinions about vertical mounting? 🙂

cyan vault Jan 1, 2020, 4:36 PM

#

Its better for temps and aesthetics(if you care)

#

But honestly I think its useless

magic pebble Jan 1, 2020, 5:09 PM

#

if you vertical mount with an air cooled card make sure you have a reasonable amount of clearance between the fans and the glass or your temps will actually go up. some cases have vertical mounts built in, but when you put a 2.75 slot width card or thicker the fans end up flat against the glass and will struggle to pull air in.

#

look at reviews and other peoples experience for the particular case you are looking at.

Alright I need some serious help. Idk if this is the right place to post this but I recently got a new psu and a rx 5700. I put the new parts in yesterday and it was working great... yesterday. Now, sometimes I randomly get stuck at 30fps in R6, my monitors turn black and say that there is no input, and the pc even restarts on its own in the middle of a game. Help would be greatly appreciated. Here’s the build - https://pcpartpicker.com/list/X94vjp

peak pasture Jan 1, 2020, 9:49 PM

#

Did you get the latest drivers?

wicked hound Jan 1, 2020, 9:58 PM

#

@lone pond well that's a bad PSU so I suggest returning and replacing

#

Most likely not the solution to the current problem tho. But it'll be better

#

Actually nvm

lone pond Jan 1, 2020, 9:59 PM

#

@peak pasture yes

wicked hound Jan 1, 2020, 9:59 PM

#

It could be the issue

spice prawn Jan 1, 2020, 9:59 PM

#

that is one odd build

#

and i agree with @wicked hound

lone pond Jan 1, 2020, 10:00 PM

#

Ok. Could there be anything else causing this?

wicked hound Jan 1, 2020, 10:00 PM

#

I didn't fully read. Just read 30fps sometimes and checked list. Random restarts with that PSU isn't surprising

spice prawn Jan 1, 2020, 10:01 PM

#

@lone pond yes, there are plenty of other things that "could" cause this. However, the most likely cause is the PSU

wicked hound Jan 1, 2020, 10:01 PM

#

FPS could be due to driver issues as well. But restarts I highly think is PSU

lone pond Jan 1, 2020, 10:01 PM

#

Alright, ill replace the PSU.

#

What about the black screens?

spice prawn Jan 1, 2020, 10:02 PM

#

FPS could be power throttle

wicked hound Jan 1, 2020, 10:02 PM

#

Cheapest decent one would be Corsair CX (nor CXM). 450w is fine, 550w is ideal for future upgrades

#

Note, wattage doesn't seem to be the issue with this build. Just the PSU quality

lone pond Jan 1, 2020, 10:03 PM

#

Sorry if this is a stupid question but what is a power throttle?

spice prawn Jan 1, 2020, 10:03 PM

#

also, IF you have the option, get yourself the missing stick of ram (This is not related to the problem)

#

basically the system not being able to go beyond X speed because there is not any power left to do so

#

(very very very simple way of putting it)

wicked hound Jan 1, 2020, 10:04 PM

#

Wait, what is the PSU model. You said you also got the 5700XT but no 5700XT on list

#

I assumed the EVGA PSU was what you had

lone pond Jan 1, 2020, 10:06 PM

#

Thermaltake SMART 600W ATX 12V V2.3/EPS 12V 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Power Supply PS-SPD-0600NPCWUS-W

#

I got the non XT

spice prawn Jan 1, 2020, 10:06 PM

#

why did you link a list with different parts in it then?

#

and to followup on that, what else on that list is not real?

lone pond Jan 1, 2020, 10:07 PM

#

One sec

#

It’s the same list with a 5700 and that psu

spice prawn Jan 1, 2020, 10:08 PM

#

ask Hei about the psu.

#

Is this your first build?

#

or is this an upgrade to an existing build?

lone pond Jan 1, 2020, 10:10 PM

#

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/YH8fp8

#

upgrade to an existing build

dense flicker Jan 1, 2020, 10:10 PM

#

@lone pond watch the language please

spice prawn Jan 1, 2020, 10:11 PM

#

out of curiosity, did you ask anyone what they thought before you bought it?

lone pond Jan 1, 2020, 10:11 PM

#

mostly just watched reviews and asked on reddit a few times.

peak pasture Jan 1, 2020, 10:12 PM

#

I was in the buildapc reddit discord once. It was the second most toxic place you could ever be in.

lone pond Jan 1, 2020, 10:12 PM

#

With those parts, what could be the problem?

spice prawn Jan 1, 2020, 10:13 PM

#

not a problem as such.

#

i am just trying to understand the mindset

#

and as i said, ask Hei about the PSU

lone pond Jan 1, 2020, 10:14 PM

#

@wicked hound What do you think about the psu?

wicked hound Jan 1, 2020, 10:15 PM

#

PSU is pretty bad

#

Lacks protections and is group regulated

#

Group regulation can certainly cause instability

lone pond Jan 1, 2020, 10:16 PM

#

So, replace the PSU?

wicked hound Jan 1, 2020, 10:16 PM

#

Yeah. If somehow it isn't the issue you'd be best off without it anyways

spice prawn Jan 1, 2020, 10:16 PM

#

how is it on the rails in regards to using it with the 5700?

wicked hound Jan 1, 2020, 10:17 PM

#

Pretty sure it has enough wattage on 12v rail. But it's group regulated so 5v rail gets messed up when high 12v rail usage

#

Or vise versa

spice prawn Jan 1, 2020, 10:18 PM

#

ok, thank you for the info Hei (dont personally want to deal with TT psu's)

wicked hound Jan 1, 2020, 10:19 PM

#

Some TT PSUs aren't bad. But on average due to price I rarely can say TT PSUs are worth it

lone pond Jan 1, 2020, 10:19 PM

#

What should I get instead which is around the same price?

spice prawn Jan 1, 2020, 10:19 PM

#

i have seen too many fried units

wicked hound Jan 1, 2020, 10:21 PM

#

If you want to stay cheap the best PSU I can recommend that is good would be Corsair CX (not CXM). There is some TT PSU that was good with a mail in rebate but I havent checked in quite some time for that price and I don't remember the model unfortunately.

cursive swallow Jan 1, 2020, 10:21 PM

#

Will a gtx 1650 super get bottlenecked by an i3-9100f?

wicked hound Jan 1, 2020, 10:22 PM

#

So get a CX450 or CX550. 550 lasting you for future upgrades

lone pond Jan 1, 2020, 10:23 PM

#

Alright. Thank you guys so much.

wicked hound Jan 1, 2020, 10:24 PM

#

@cursive swallow probably by a small amount. But not much. 1650S would be a pretty decent buy

spice prawn Jan 1, 2020, 10:25 PM

@lone pond also seriously look into buying the missing ram stick

cursive swallow Jan 1, 2020, 10:25 PM

2060S or Radeon?

verbal cairn Jan 1, 2020, 11:52 PM

Depends on what you’re going to do with the cards. @lone pond

#

There are a lot of Radeon cards too

lone pond Jan 1, 2020, 11:53 PM

#

I’m probably not going to be using Ray Tracing.

#

Radeon 5700.

verbal cairn Jan 1, 2020, 11:54 PM

#

The NVENC feature from NVIDIA cards can help a lot if you’re streaming

#

But if you’re only gaming Radeon 5700 / (XT) cards are great value for their prices

little slate Jan 2, 2020, 9:12 AM

#

Omg is that for real?

ancient crystal Jan 2, 2020, 9:15 AM

#

it's the thing AMD needs to compete in the high end if it's true

#

it'll likely perform close to a "plain" 2080, but should deeply undercut it in price

#

as it is, the 5700 (non-XT) performs close to the 1080, so hitting the 2080 as a target shouldn't be very hard

sage mountain Jan 2, 2020, 9:20 AM

#

Yes it's real

#

Well

#

Not officially confirmed

#

I'd just like it to be real :)

ancient crystal Jan 2, 2020, 9:22 AM

#

the thing is, i don't see why not

#

the high end is all that AMD hasn't targeted

#

they've targeted low-end, low-mid-range, mid-range, and high mid-range

#

with their RDNA based GPUs

#

so the only thing left is high

sage mountain Jan 2, 2020, 9:23 AM

#

Yeah theyve hinted at Navi 21 previously

#

The "nvidia killer"

#

So for sure smth high end is coming out

ancient crystal Jan 2, 2020, 9:24 AM

#

i think anything that keeps nvidia on their feet is good

sage mountain Jan 2, 2020, 9:24 AM

#

Let's just hope those specs are the real specs

ancient crystal Jan 2, 2020, 9:24 AM

#

make them start competing price-wise

#

as of yet they simply do not compete price-wise and i understand they've got NVENC and ray tracing in hardware but AMD has hardware encoding./decoding too, just nobody is using it

#

and similarly ray tracing in DX12 will likely render the nvidia exclusive stuff obsolete by next gen

#

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_Core_Next this is a thing

Video Core Next

Video Core Next is AMD's brand for its dedicated video encoding and decoding hardware core.

#

so i don't know why nobody is using it in the streaming space

#

it's been available since the first navi card (5700) was released

#

i figure by the time the ray tracing stuff goes obsolete streaming software will also use VCN 2.0

#

but by then AMD is gonna have to start releasing more powerful GPUs

#

because the 5700 will be where the 5600 XT is right now

stiff zodiac Jan 2, 2020, 11:01 AM

#

its a minor downgrade of 5700 xD theres always a difference if it doesnt why would they release it xD

little slate Jan 2, 2020, 12:59 PM

#

I would really hope that a 5900xt would outperform a 2080 super...

#

being worse than a 2080 would still put it in a crowded GPU space, and still will have no competition for nvidia at the high end

#

as someone using a 1080ti, I would really love some top end competition

sage mountain Jan 2, 2020, 1:05 PM

#

If the specs are correct, it's clearly aimed at trading blows with a 2080ti

little slate Jan 2, 2020, 1:05 PM

#

I would be very happy if that's true

sage mountain Jan 2, 2020, 1:05 PM

#

But that seems too of a perfect world scenario

#

But you never know

#

Maybe it'll be faster even shakepanda

little slate Jan 2, 2020, 1:07 PM

#

anything that challenges nvidia's ridiculous top end pricing would be a win

sage mountain Jan 2, 2020, 1:07 PM

#

Indeed

little slate Jan 2, 2020, 1:08 PM

#

I really hope that I won't have to spend over $1000 next time I upgrade my GPU, which probably be when the next generation cards come out

You can probably get close to 60 frames at 4k but it also depends on the games

Yeah, the 2060 will be ~50-60 FPS in AAA titles

If you have a 144hz 2k monitor go with 2070 or above

tender mulch Jan 2, 2020, 3:29 PM

gonna need a 2070 super or 2080 super for that.

Thats lame those should do better.

tender mulch Jan 2, 2020, 3:32 PM

144 hz = 144 FPS

You aren't going to do 144 FPS at 1440p unless you're on low settings, even overclocked.

144 FPS?

You know hertz = FPS right?

hexed forge Jan 2, 2020, 3:35 PM

Top of the line is 144hz at 4K which a 2080 super can barely handle

tender mulch Jan 2, 2020, 3:36 PM

#

You can get 144 FPS but not maxed out. Med-low settings with a 2060

#

While a 2070 super will do it maxed out

#

I should also mention those benchmarks don't have AA on either

hexed forge Jan 2, 2020, 3:37 PM

I’m talking the newest triple a games at max everything at 4K 144hz is still tough on a stock 2080

ancient crystal Jan 2, 2020, 7:27 PM

re: all the talk about streaming and the 5700/XT - the ASIC is there on the card, the software is just not taking advantage of it

tender mulch Jan 2, 2020, 7:29 PM

Yup. The encoder is poo. It was thrown in last minute just so they could say they had it

ancient crystal Jan 2, 2020, 7:29 PM

ah

#

maybe they'll improve it on future iterations of RDNA

also they could've kept the old encoder/decoder

What is coil whine? A noise thing?

tender mulch Jan 2, 2020, 11:21 PM

#

You can turn down the GPU frequency to like 30-35% and then faster when it's in game

#

Can you try that?

hexed forge Jan 2, 2020, 11:22 PM

#

Yeh ok I’m deaf so noise doesn’t do anything for me lol

tender mulch Jan 2, 2020, 11:22 PM

#

it's a high pitched whine or squeal from capacitors on the cards

#

Typically a power issue, poor filtering

hexed forge Jan 2, 2020, 11:22 PM

#

Does that mean something is bad or is it just annoying?

obsidian vine Jan 2, 2020, 11:23 PM

Turned it down to 1300 MHz and still whining

#

Only happened in game

#

The second I close the game it stops

tender mulch Jan 2, 2020, 11:24 PM

You can RMA

@tender mulch yeah looked into the Asrock board. Trades blows with other decent cheap x570

I think the Prime P is also at that price point

Some reason I remember the Asrock being like MSI quality

poor MSI hope they do better next time

tender mulch Jan 3, 2020, 1:47 AM

Look at the 5700's this time around. MSI flopped those and the X570 boards

wicked hound Jan 3, 2020, 1:48 AM

#

Seems like their mobos took an eye for an eye. Simply amazing b450/x470 for bad x570

tender mulch Jan 3, 2020, 1:48 AM

#

Yup

#

Maybe the 550 will be better

#

I mean, with a stock heatsink their VRM is fine

hard wren Jan 3, 2020, 1:48 AM

I feel bad constantly telling people not to get one. They still have that name recognition seems like everyone chooses an MSI board first lol

DRAM less SSD

No, just no

wicked hound Jan 3, 2020, 2:03 AM

Pretty glad we got GN with good knowledge. Sometimes incorrect. Not like humans can be perfect tho

#

Well, GN needs to look a bit more into PSUs as well. Hope he gets into them soon. His recent guide used a not so great PSU as well unfortunately

hard wren Jan 3, 2020, 2:05 AM

#

I seem to only have a corsair PSU curse so I buy evga supernova usually

#

I know they dont make bad PSUs

tender mulch Jan 3, 2020, 2:05 AM

I've got a thermaltake now, 700W, have for years

hard wren Jan 3, 2020, 2:06 AM

just unlucky with corsair

wicked hound Jan 3, 2020, 2:06 AM

#

Supernova is kinda meh tho. Only good Supernova was the G2 which is overpriced now

hard wren Jan 3, 2020, 2:07 AM

#

I got the P2 when it was on sale

#

still expensive though

wicked hound Jan 3, 2020, 2:08 AM

P2 is quite good. Pretty sure P2 and T2 are the few decent 1400w+ PSUs

hard wren Jan 3, 2020, 2:09 AM

#

wife got the G+ not sure about that one

wicked hound Jan 3, 2020, 2:09 AM

thats good so far no issues

wicked hound Jan 3, 2020, 2:09 AM

#

pretty sure it's like CX or CXM quality

#

but your Corsair Curse wont work well with that so

hard wren Jan 3, 2020, 2:10 AM

#

lol IKR

#

I went through three RM1000x's

#

then I was like I'm done RMA-ing these

wicked hound Jan 3, 2020, 2:12 AM

#

same time? Could've been a bad batch

hard wren Jan 3, 2020, 2:13 AM

#

I think so too because they have good reviews and I know people that have them with no issues. It was all during a 2-3 month period

#

My ultimate trooper PSU though is a 600w antec truepower that thing is at least 20 years old and still runs like the day I bought it

wicked hound Jan 3, 2020, 2:16 AM

#

That is def before my time

hard wren Jan 3, 2020, 2:16 AM

#

It didnt like a 2080ti and 8700k though 😦 so I had to move it to another pc

#

well that and the ketchup mustardiness

wicked hound Jan 3, 2020, 2:19 AM

#

I mean OCed 8700k and 2080Ti would pull like 525w - 575w alone

hard wren Jan 3, 2020, 2:19 AM

#

yeah it would black screen during games

wicked hound Jan 3, 2020, 2:20 AM

#

yeah, with system wattage added and then age of PSU not being capable of doing full 600w probably

hard wren Jan 3, 2020, 2:21 AM

#

went 1000w for no real good reason 750w probably would be fine

wicked hound Jan 3, 2020, 2:21 AM

#

Pretty sure that consume max of 650w. So 700w or more would be a good choice

hard wren Jan 3, 2020, 2:22 AM

#

yep spot on calculators said right around 649w

tender mulch Jan 3, 2020, 2:23 AM

#

rule of thumb is 15-20% extra. PSU most efficient at 80% load or so

hard wren Jan 3, 2020, 2:23 AM

#

but now i have pump and rad fans plus I have another rad with fans that I plan on adding if I ever get the nerve up and buy a waterblock for my gpu

#

I also need to flash the bios on the gpu so it can draw more power apparently but im a 🐔

wicked hound Jan 3, 2020, 2:25 AM

#

@tender mulch I wouldnt go for the efficiency point. It's a 2% difference usually from peak efficiency to 100% load efficiency. Just go for lifetime as PSUs tend to lose their max wattage over a long time

tender mulch Jan 3, 2020, 2:25 AM

#

F that

#

It's not worth it

hard wren Jan 3, 2020, 2:25 AM

#

water block or bios flash?

tender mulch Jan 3, 2020, 2:26 AM

#

BIOS flash

#

UNless card hs dual BIOS

wicked hound Jan 3, 2020, 2:26 AM

#

I mean it is pretty hard to brick a GPU with BIOS

#

Like

hard wren Jan 3, 2020, 2:26 AM

#

everyone says you should flash the bios on the FE cards so they can draw a full 300w

wicked hound Jan 3, 2020, 2:26 AM

#

Why not be scared of flashing mobo BIOS?

hard wren Jan 3, 2020, 2:26 AM

#

mobo = $100 gpu =$1500

wicked hound Jan 3, 2020, 2:26 AM

#

yet so so scared about GPU BIOS as if failure rate is 200000% more

tender mulch Jan 3, 2020, 2:26 AM

#

Because that is done directly in a USB port, not through sometimes glitchy software

hard wren Jan 3, 2020, 2:27 AM

#

yeah I mean I have personally bricked a gpu messing with the bios....LOL

#

480gtx RIP

granite juniper Jan 3, 2020, 2:27 AM

#

👀

wicked hound Jan 3, 2020, 2:28 AM

#

So long as you know what you're doing, failure rates shouldnt be much higher than mobo BIOS flash

hard wren Jan 3, 2020, 2:28 AM

#

I should do it right. I have been trying to get my nerve up and just do it

#

supposedly its safer now

#

Me and @tender mulch could just have hold over fears from the past

restive barn Jan 3, 2020, 7:31 AM

#

Is the 2060 super worth it over the 2060?

ancient crystal Jan 3, 2020, 7:44 AM

#

should probably get an RX 5700 for the same price as the 2060 and have performance like the 2060 Super - unless you need NVENC for streaming, in which case i'd say the 2060 S is worth it if you have the budget

#

well i dunno, i think the 5700 is cheaper, actually

lone pond Jan 3, 2020, 7:53 AM

#

It’s been a long time since I’ve used an ATI/AMD GPU, But I thought the latest generation models from them and nV all had live capable hardware encoding for both 264 and now HEVC?

ancient crystal Jan 3, 2020, 7:54 AM

#

AMD has it but apparently it's bad and it's not supported by abnything

lone pond Jan 3, 2020, 7:54 AM

#

Although, and I forget the other thing that would need to be used with nvenc, but I seem to recall that nVidia gpu’s can do encoding 100% non-cpu assisted

#

Kinda like purevideo(TM)? 😉

granite moat Jan 3, 2020, 8:13 AM

#

guys i have an ASUS Dual RX 580 O4G

#

is it possible to solder additional VRAM and flash the bios and make it an ASUS Dual RX580 O8G?

ancient crystal Jan 3, 2020, 8:43 AM

#

this is not recommended

#

it's also beyond the expertise of anyone here probably

wicked hound Jan 3, 2020, 8:53 AM

#

Well a few things
-you need a high end soldering kit to solder a bunch of really small contact points really close to each other
-you need the skill required to solder many small points close to each other
-I wouldnt be surprised if it was hardware locked on the GPU die as well
-Where you going to source the memory?

granite moat Jan 3, 2020, 8:56 AM

#

no it's just a question out of Curiosity

#

because every time when i see someone dissemble a GPU there will be some blank spot for VRAM

wicked hound Jan 3, 2020, 9:02 AM

#

So the GTX 970 have 3.5GB of decent speed VRAM and .5GB of slow VRAM. iirc that was because of it being a cut down 980 with a bad memory module in the GPU die itself. So that memory module couldnt support the full bandwidth needed for that extra .5GB. Could be wrong about that tho

#

Anyways, could be similar with the 580

lone pond Jan 3, 2020, 9:08 AM

#

soldering vram upgrades has been done successfully with many different gpu’s, but it’s extremely delicate and sometimes requires firmware manipulation, realistically there’s very few circumstances when it would ever be worth the attempt,

#

I read or watched one recently where they made a nVidia card faster than any currently sold, and they killed the first <$1000 board they tried it with.

spice prawn Jan 3, 2020, 1:29 PM

#

@wicked hound there was not a bad mem module. it was an intentional ROP/MC disable that lead to the segmented memory. However, the performance hit comes from access to one segment blocking access to the other (in that specific cycle)

@chrome sonnet thank you. what jumps out is changing the 860evo for a sabrent rocket drive instead

#

and ask yourself if you REALLY need the HDD

#

because with a slight modification, you could grab a regular cheap ssd

#

@chrome sonnet https://pcpartpicker.com/list/zBNLyk <- i have left in the hdd and ssd you had. But added some other options that you can mix/match from. There are multiple ways to configure that.

I just got a 2060 super and its not performing as well as it should be, any suggestions?

Define "not performing as well as it should"

quiet marten Jan 3, 2020, 11:54 PM

#

my brother has a 1070ti and i have a 2060 super and overwatch and fortnite both get more frames on his pc then mine

#

by like 50

Processor? resolution?

quiet marten Jan 3, 2020, 11:55 PM

#

ryzen 2700x 1080p

#

and his is i5 8400 1080p

tender mulch Jan 3, 2020, 11:56 PM

#

Both of your video settings are EXACTLY the same?

quiet marten Jan 3, 2020, 11:56 PM

#

yes

fallow slate Jan 3, 2020, 11:56 PM

#

Same hz on the monitors?

quiet marten Jan 3, 2020, 11:57 PM

#

no his is 180 and mine is 144

#

but if we do unlimited on fortnite i get 180 and he gets 210

#

obviosly im not seeing 180 but thats what it says

#

but i assume the 2060 super should do better then that

tender mulch Jan 4, 2020, 12:00 AM

#

Honestly, need to compare apples to apples here.

#

Really hard to compare AMD to Intel and different GPU's on top of that

#

It's probably a setting that was missed somewhere

#

And, Intel still tends to be faster at games for various reasons

quiet marten Jan 4, 2020, 12:02 AM

#

Ok Thanks

toxic ore Jan 4, 2020, 12:33 AM

#

yeah amd and intel handle draw calls to the gpu a little differently and as far as a gpu pushing more frames than the monitor can display theres times where you want it to and times where it doesnt matter

#

stuff like fortnite tho if youre one of those super competitive players then let your gpu push as many frames as it can even if your monitor cant display them. you will only see 144 frames but with the gpu pushing more it actually cuts down on input lag

Notebookcheck

Renoir iGPU performance leaks on Userbenchmark: 65 percent faster ...

Tipster @TUM_APISAK shared a leaked Userbenchmark GPU comparison between Renoir's iGPU and Vega 10. The benchmarks indicate that Renoir will feature substantially faster graphics performance than previous-gen APUs.

#

as always, taking leaks with a grain of salt,

#

just how plausible is it that this iGPU runs like a 1050Ti

how close dose it sit to the glass on a case?

dense flicker Jan 4, 2020, 5:35 AM

that bracket, not close at all

#

it would actually get it further away

#

more airspace

#

er

#

actually

#

nevermind

#

hold on

#

there was another design that had it a bit further away

hexed forge Jan 4, 2020, 5:35 AM

ok so i wouldn't wanna use that

dense flicker Jan 4, 2020, 5:36 AM

hmmm

nvm

#

that phantecks one is the only one i could find

#

D:

hexed forge Jan 4, 2020, 5:36 AM

#

the whole point of me wanting to verticle mount is to open up all the other pcie slots lol

zenith kraken Jan 4, 2020, 5:36 AM

#

here is another question even through the vertical mount you posted was listed as universal

torpid garden Jan 4, 2020, 5:36 AM

#

I'd get a stranded or best yet, twin-axial riser. Any recent, not super cheap riser should be fine tbh.

dense flicker Jan 4, 2020, 5:36 AM

#

@hexed forge if you have a mount built in, just get a riser cable

zenith kraken Jan 4, 2020, 5:36 AM

#

its make by phantek, would that still work in my case i have an old outdated NZXT

torpid garden Jan 4, 2020, 5:36 AM

#

But there's a big gap between the cheapest cheap vs decent riser cables.

dense flicker Jan 4, 2020, 5:37 AM

#

so long as you have 7 pcie slots, yes

hexed forge Jan 4, 2020, 5:37 AM

#

thats the plan. but i cant yet

dense flicker Jan 4, 2020, 5:37 AM

#

just make sure that your GPU will fit

#

heres mine

📎 image0.jpg

#

dual slot

zenith kraken Jan 4, 2020, 5:38 AM

#

yeah, its a NZXT S340, has the 7 PCIe, ill give it a shot

dense flicker Jan 4, 2020, 5:38 AM

#

worst comes to worse you return it

hexed forge Jan 4, 2020, 5:38 AM

#

another question, on most of the 450m or 570 boards, will the bottom most pcie x16 slot work fine for gpu or will i take a performance hit? or how can i check cause idk

zenith kraken Jan 4, 2020, 5:38 AM

#

how did you manage the wiring for the GPU, looks like it would clutter up with the 24 pin

dense flicker Jan 4, 2020, 5:38 AM

#

PCIE 8x vs 16x doesnt make a difference for gpu performance

#

should be fine

#

i have mine plugged into 16x tho

#

they make different size cables tho, so you can get a long one and then still have other pcie extension cards plugged in

spare relic Jan 4, 2020, 5:39 AM

#

my gt 730 has a halfway covered pcie 16x connector

hexed forge Jan 4, 2020, 5:39 AM

#

mine would be plugged into a 16x but i dont wanna use the top port that you'd typically plug a gpu into when i get the riser and new mobo (current one only has 1 16x port)

torpid garden Jan 4, 2020, 5:40 AM

#

bottom-most on a b450 might give some annoying issues, depends on board and how the pcie/cpu/pch lanes are routed

dense flicker Jan 4, 2020, 5:40 AM

oh ok i thought it was a rosewill for a min

dense flicker Jan 4, 2020, 5:41 AM

mine takes up exactly 2 slots

#

the shroud for your gpu might take up like 2.4 or something

causing an issue for fitting it

and im going to upgrade to a 200 series once i swap over to 9th gen

wait no im wrong cause the aio is roughly at the same height as the case fan so if you can get it low enough which idk how low you can actually go cause i havent used one of those, it might fit

id personally just get a support in some way or just deal til you get a smaller gpu. ive not had one that big and havent had any support issue. another thingyou can do to offset it is instead of running the gpu cables down, run them up. it helps support the card a lil bit
