Just noisy iirc

blissful thistle
#

Ah alr

#

Oh right it's gf1 that's B tier

past harbor
#

Alrighty, thnx for the input Felixes. Revo is definitely a solid price for instance. -- oh cheapish good case? Was glancing at meshify C because I like how it's less desk space than some but isn't itx or such

blissful thistle
#

C12c 3 pack is $11

#

I cant think of any decent looking good quality better cases for $71

#

G300a definitely better but the $20 difference makes either a fine choice

#

P200a is also in $70 and fits atx psus I think, but itx case means price for other stuff goes up obviously

past harbor
#

Sorry, meant I like that it wasn't itx. edit: oh, G300A seems pretty good for me. Have a few spare P12 fans still, thnx!

A tier unit and decent price

tame cape
#

Please someone help me find out what case this is

blissful thistle
tame cape
#

Actually not, I found it on another it website for used stuff, apparently the seller is the same. Didn't know it was on eBay too

#

On the other website it said "mini itx pc case" without any other info

#

So I think it's the parvus q1 mini-itx

#

Or maybe not...
It gives me different cases with the same name :/

What is a decent/good case for 60 bucks

blissful thistle
#

G300a, mx330, cougar archon whatever it is that comes with 3 fans

delicate eagle
#

this is my avr

#

I have a 750w psu

#

is it okay to plug it in on one of the 220v?

#

@mild roost

mild roost
#

yes

delicate eagle
# mild roost yes

doesn't it make a difference plugging a 750power supply to a 220v?

#

I also have a 1836 joules surge protector can I plug it in to the avr?

#

or surge protector to wall and avr to surge protector

mild roost
#

modern psus handle all voltages from the mains

#

so it's not a worry

#

if you're worried you can check the psu's voltage range

delicate eagle
#

what's good @mild roost wall>avr>surge protector or wall>surge protector>avr

#

@balmy badge

hollow leaf
#

@delicate eagle unless the AVR has a built in surge protector.. then leave the standalone surge protector out of the equation.

delicate eagle
wide parrot
#

If it comes with fans it's a deal but i dunno if it does

mild roost
#

whoa 55 bucks???

#

that's cheap wtf

wide parrot
#

I don't love the look of the corners, a little too industrial for me

#

If it comes with fans it would be excellent for a budget build

#

I don't think it does based on the one review, but still a nice price for what it is.

delicate eagle
#

so sometimes when I press the power button of my pc it shocks me but when I touch it later on it dosen't shock me anymore

#

@mild roost do you know why this happens?

mild roost
#

static or ground issue

delicate eagle
mild roost
#

ground is your house's wiring

#

static is just something that happens naturally

Purchase update, rm850x was on sale & haf xb evo $50 after mir. I like never worrying about cpu cooler or gpu sag, for now.

Did I make a good choice?

blissful thistle
copper fiber
#

I’m using a GTX 770.

blissful thistle
#

It's more than fine

copper fiber
#

So good choice?

blissful thistle
#

Cheapest psu right now worth it

mild roost
#

^

#

cheapest safe psu

copper fiber
#

So I did a good job picking the best PSU?

mild roost
#

not the best out there but it won't blow up

#

it's not the best, just a good budget choice

copper fiber
#

I finally did something good for once.kekw

mild roost
#

better than ordering a bad psu at least

copper fiber
#

yeah, I was looking for a budget one for my pc build since the 850w didn’t make sense

#

it wasn’t my pc to begin with, it was my dads, he was using it for a server/retro gaming pc then just passed it on to me

#

he was using an RX 6600XT with said PC so that’s why he used a 850w.

mild roost
#

850w is overkill for 6600xt tbh

#

that much power can provide enough power for latest amd cpus on am5 and a 4090

copper fiber
#

I mean, it wasn’t mine like I said.

#

It washes used as a server

hi

#

ever heard of OCCT

fierce pivot
#

been around for ages in the OC community

fair bone
blissful thistle
#

That link doesn't work

fair bone
#

Ah shoot my bad

blissful thistle
#

I would not buy all of your pc parts off newegg, pcpartpicker shows prices from a lot of different retailers and shows the lowest price for each part

fair bone
blissful thistle
#

Ah alright

fair bone
#

How so?

blissful thistle
#

It's a better psu, there's a tier list pinned in this chat

fair bone
#

Oooh

blissful thistle
#

And that case isn't a great idea, cases without a mesh front have bad airflow, but there are cases with a mesh front and no glass panel

#

One sec I'll link some

fair bone
#

Oh ok

blissful thistle
fair bone
#

I want a full tower though. I want to upgrade my GPU

blissful thistle
#

And I'll look for a different case

#

Also either of those cases could fit a 4090

fair bone
#

RX6700xt. I'm coming from an RX6600 regular

blissful thistle
#

You'd easily fit any model 6700xt in either of those

fair bone
#

Alrighty

blissful thistle
#

Not really any decent full tower options without a glass/acrylic side panel

fair bone
#

No :(

blissful thistle
#

May I ask why you don't want a glass/acrylic side panel?

fair bone
#

I hear they can explode

blissful thistle
#

Oh yeah no

#

That's not a thing

vocal tree
#

perhaps if you

blissful thistle
#

Not unless you're extremely clumsy or intentionally shatter it

vocal tree
blissful thistle
#

Even for that first part gl with that one

fair bone
#

Hmmm

blissful thistle
#

For mid tower there's plenty of options that will fit literally any gpu too

#

I'm a fan of the g360a personally

fair bone
#

So wait those stories about glass panels exploding are due to carelessness/quality?

blissful thistle
#

Carelessness yes

fair bone
#

Ah

#

That's what I get for seeing those stories on ||reddit||

blissful thistle
#

Yeah reddit is an awful place to go for tech advice/stories 99% of the time

fair bone
#

I might go with the fractal air mid tower for budget reasons

blissful thistle
#

For budget you could go for the g300a with a 3 pack of c12c fans for $12

#

But that's on the smaller end of mid tower

#

So I can understand wanting a bigger case than that

#

G300a after the fans comes to $62

fair bone
#

I want a more "future proof" build. Hence the case size and PSU wattage

blissful thistle
fair bone
#

No

blissful thistle
#

Then you're all set

fair bone
#

So the fractal air and PSU are fine for that?

blissful thistle
#

Yep for sure

fair bone
#

Nice

blissful thistle
#

Future proofing isn't a real thing, but the closest you can get to future proofing is on psu and case

fair bone
#

Exactly

blissful thistle
fair bone
#

I just get so tired of switching out PSUs often

vocal tree
#

it's not a difficult task but

#

why would you switch PSUs often 😭

blissful thistle
#

Redoing cables is annoying I can understand that

#

That's also a fair point lol

fair bone
#

Well, I went from a 450w to a 550w psu

#

I know the 7600(xt) is compatible with my psu but I want something significantly better

blissful thistle
#

If you're buying a 6700xt I wouldn't upgrade from that for anything less than a 6950xt/7900xt/3090/ti/4070 ti

#

And tbh those really aren't a worthwhile upgrade

#

I'd prob wait till next gen or 4080/7900xtx

fair bone
#

So just stay with the 6600 regular then?

blissful thistle
#

6700xt is fine to go to

#

But from there I'd wait for a while

fair bone
#

Ah of course

blissful thistle
#

Just since you mentioned 7600/xt

fair bone
#

An xt version doesn't exist for that card my bad

blissful thistle
#

It likely won't, the die in the 7600 is the full Navi 33 die (I think that's the one that's 7600? Don't quote me on that)

fair bone
#

Hmm

#

I wonder if there are cases that are good with carpets?

vocal tree
#

the case that you put on a desk is always good with carpets

blissful thistle
#

Yeah carpets kinda suck for pcs no matter the case

fair bone
#

Good to know

fair bone
vocal tree
#

What model is the coolermaster

fair bone
blissful thistle
#

Either one would run a 4090

fair bone
#

That's great but I don't want a 4090

blissful thistle
#

I know

#

It is just a measure of how good the psus are

vocal tree
blissful thistle
#

Though considering you're going for a "future proof" psu

#

It might be worth going for one with a native 12vphwr connector, I dont know if future gens will still be good with an adapter

vocal tree
#

Screw future proofing tbh, I want past proofing, so my computer doesn't get the plague or get stuck in an ice age

blissful thistle
#

Thats valid

vocal tree
#

To me, future proofing means running the same computer for a decade or so, rather than switching platforms

#

Because switching platforms resets the clock, doesn't count as the same system to be "future proofed"

blissful thistle
#

But lowkey looks like it'd be good

vocal tree
#

Probably About as odd as the other towers

copper fiber
#

good case?

blissful thistle
#

Sarcasm?

copper fiber
#

yes

blissful thistle
#

Ok

#

Wasn't sure lol

About the Fractal Pop Air case. I have an MSI 7390 gaming plus motherboard and I was wondering about a usb-c adapter or if a certain part is needed?

silver phoenix
#

My case arrived a week early hell yeah

fierce pivot
fair bone
#

Do I need to get PSU cable extentions? Like if I didn't need them before would I need them now when placing my parts in the new case?

fierce pivot

#

Ok

Before

20230902_150442.jpg

Bad news is I need an extension cable for one of its fans but yep

#

@fierce pivot May I steal about 5 minutes of your time?

fierce pivot
#

Go for it

chilly path
#

Been looking at the Matrexx 40

#

Their site says 320mm GPUs
and I'm wondering if a Hellhound 6700XT would fit (cuz damn this case I have right now is really bugging the hell out of me)

#

like it makes me physically uncomfortable

blissful thistle
chilly path
#

right around 20k HUF

#

which that Matrexx would fit perfectly AND have 3 included fans

blissful thistle
#

Are there other options? The matrexx 40 mesh is OK, just not the best

#

As long as it's the mesh though it's fine

chilly path
#

it is

blissful thistle
#

Around that price though it's probably the best you'll get

chilly path
#

and again it has 3 fans included AND fits the budget

#

I need mesh front and the ability to fit my GPU

blissful thistle
#

Then go for it, biggest thing to care about is airflow and that case is alright

chilly path
#

(Hellhound 6700XT)

fierce pivot
chilly path
#

305mm according to manufacturer website

#

thing is

fierce pivot
#

Just remember that's sometimes without a fan there so take off 25mm to be safe imo

chilly path
#

I was asking for A Matrexx case from the shop that built my PC

#

and they said they cannot fit the GPU

#

I'm not 100% sure if it was a Matrexx 30 or a 40

#

but the 40 should fit it if you shuffle the fan a little lower

fierce pivot
#

Probably can't fit the gpu and a front fan in the bottom/middle slot

#

So they don't

chilly path
#

yeah I talked to the builder guy and he said they would've needed to saw 5mm off the GPU shroud

#

or I can stretch the budget 5k HUF and fit a MasterBox MB311L

fierce pivot
#

What do you have atm?

chilly path
fierce pivot
#

Uh

chilly path
#

it's a NIGHTMARE to do anything in

fierce pivot
#

Does it have a mesh front?

chilly path
#

Not really

#

well TECHNICALLY

#

the very bottom inch and a half has some perforations

#

but like

fierce pivot
#

Are temps struggling or is it managing?

chilly path
#

it's the size of half of a 120mm fan so

#

it's useless

fierce pivot
#

Yike

chilly path
#

GPU gets up to 80 under longer loads

fierce pivot
#

That's doable

chilly path
#

it's not immediate concern but also not great

#

it dusty as hecc tho

#

I can draw in the dust on the GPU backplate 2 weeks after me cleaning it

fierce pivot
#

Personally I'd save up a bit more and get a proper good case because then you can keep it for as many builds as you like and it be great, like the mattrix and cooler master cases are just useable since your case is holding on I'd wait til you can get a nice one

chilly path
#

what would be a nice one in context?

#

ATX I'd assume

#

not like a smaller one

fierce pivot
#

Idk what's available there but anything mesh from phanteks, corsair x000d airflow cases, some montech, anything from fractal with mesh that's not the focus g, deepcool ck/cg560/ others with that style of naming

#

It's easier to recommend if i can see the website(s)

chilly path
#

Went ahead and tried to clean up a bit

#

For context that is all the front ventilation I get with this POS

IMG20230904172027.jpg
#

Effectively nothing @fierce pivot

#

Anyhow brb reinstalling GPU

serene siren
#

Cheapest box that fits what you need and has a full mesh front panel

#

Bonus $$$ if it has more than 1 fan

#

That's usually how we do it here, tho we tend to avoid a few bleh eggs

#

Like focus g

#

Or diypc

#

Tho diypc's o11 mini clone looks interesting

fierce pivot
#

Tbf if you want o11 clone h9? And the neo qube exist

blissful thistle
#

For the price, it's a great alternative for o11 for people who want that asthetic

serene siren
#

Huge pass

chilly path
#

guys it took me 45 minutes to take out my GPU, blow out the dust and reinstall the GPU

#

this case SUCKS

fierce pivot
chilly path
#

I can't reach anything and the gaps in the paneling is juuuuust big enough to have the GPU mount screw fall into the motherboard

fierce pivot
#

Try vacuum the mesh more often that tends to help, and uh maybe put on your desk or at least elevated?

chilly path
#

luckily it wasn't powered on cuz cleaning but still

chilly path
serene siren
chilly path
#

it's literally a single fan on the CPU cooler too

#

and it just sucks up dust despite being on my table next to my monitor

#

No filtering whatsoever

fierce pivot
chilly path
#

I'm 100% replacing it as soon as I can

#

with something that has dust filters and a mesh front

fierce pivot
serene siren
#

Than air mini or mini?

fierce pivot
serene siren
#

Mini's not that bad

#

If mini is bad then any o11 or clone is definitely bad

#

That costs more

fierce pivot
#

Okay well it's definitely not worse

serene siren
#

C12c's are heckin cheap bruv

Went camping for a few days, came back and my PC is much noisier at idle than usual. I've identified it as the PSU fan seemingly stuck at high speeds. Is it toast?

#

the psu has fresh airflow and doesn't feel hot

urban tulip
#

You try unplugging it and replugging it in?

wide parrot
#

no tbh

#

good idea though ill try

wide parrot
wide parrot
#

I wouldn't mind if it was under load but this is louder than all my other fans

#

Powering a 5600x & 3060ti so idle wattage is relatively low

wide parrot
#

yeah so it seems under load and idle the PSU fan is probably running at the same speed

sand atlas
#

It's probably dusty and the dust either shorted the sensor or it's actually just getting hot

wide parrot
#

I'll give it a shot. Highly doubt it's dusty though as the intake isn't on the bottom of the case

#

I guess there isn't a filter though so maybe there's some dust that made it in.

lofty pewter
sand atlas
#

Also true. Most modern fans know how to disengage when they overspin, but not all.

past harbor
#

Also being unplugged would make it becoming a generator not much concern, haha.

sand atlas
past harbor
#

Ah, unless unplugging everything perhaps. Good to know. Earlier for a sec did not see "psu fan".

lofty pewter
#

Far more likely to break the fan from spinning too fast then damage mobo tbf.

urban tulip
#

Once you spin fan enough to get PC turned on it'll power the fan so it's basically infinite power if you think about it

sand atlas
#

You'll blow the bearing long before you spin it that fast but in theory yes

urban tulip
sand atlas
#

Use an electric duster and plug it into your new generator. Infinite energy.

ok

copper fiber
#

Do y’all think I should buy the same PSU I did for my current PC to build a new one?

sand atlas
#

Depends on prices and specific needs

#

Sales come and go, but the tier list is forever

#

(as much as anything can be forever on the internet at least)

upbeat dew
#

we dont know which one is your current psu, nor the spec of the old and the new pc

fierce pivot
#

If your current psu is good why not reuse it?

vocal tree
#

Maybe they want to keep the PC as built instead of parting it out, meaning they get two usable PCs instead of one

any case with black and red paint

Hello! 👋 I'm not sure if it's the good place to post this, please let me know otherwise.
I received a refurbished SuperMicro board from the datacenter I work at, and I am looking for a tower case that -will- actually fit this dual CPU beast. However, I am having a hard time to find a good case for it. Many cases advertises E-ATX, but when looking at customer photos, I have a hard time to believe that my board would actually fit.

Can someone please lend me a hand? 🙃

For reference, here is the motherboard in question.
https://www.supermicro.com/en/products/motherboard/x11dpi-nt

Thank you!

mild roost
#

pop air xl should be able to fit it

#

ah, nevermind

#

it's too wide for the case

limpid widget
#

Yeah I noticed the board is 330mm but most E-ATX cases advertises as 280mm

mild roost
#

enthoo pro 2 seems to fit the bill

#

ssi-eeb compatible seems to be what you want to look for

limpid widget
#

Oh wow and the case looks amazing. Thanks for this find! I'll order this now 🙂

mild roost
#

it does have server edition too

#

if you insist

limpid widget
#

The server edition is rackmounted?

mild roost
#

no, but it has braces for extra fans

#

and no second system space

#

made to take a lot of gpus all at once

limpid widget
#

Awesome! This does fit the bill perfectly. And there is space to mount U.2 SSDs

limpid widget
#

I ended up purchasing the server edition, since it officially supports SuperMicro boards, especially E-ATX ones. Thanks for the awesome find!

#

I have this decent dell optiplex I salvaged out of the trash.

#

I wonder if I could take the internals and put it into a case for a server

#

thought of using it for a minecraft server or something

#

I know nothing about the “cases” but link me to any builds or guides you know of.

vocal tree
#

Do the weird proprietary dell motherboard/case dimensions apply to optiplexes

sick viper
#

it is a dell optiplex 5060

mild roost
#

nope

#

it's proprietary

#

you must get optiplex 5060 case only

sick viper
#

darn

#

it is a nice freebie computer tho

#

found it in an ewaste bin

#

would like a nice cheap server computer though but idk how you can beat that on a $200 budget or however much these are actually worth

zinc horizon
#

is the V550 sfx psu 80+ gold from cooler master any good?

#

i can only find entries for other sfx models on tier list

mild roost
#

yes, it's a good psu

sand atlas
#

That's a low A tier unit

#

So yes it's good

(it's on the tier list as "V SFX Gold")

Oh

Didn't dig around that much so probably missed it

#

thank you

sick viper
#

cannot remember

#

but 32gb 2666mHz ram

mild roost
#

you can probably 3d print a custom case for it

#

or find dead optiplex 5060's somehow

serene siren
sand atlas
# sick viper an i7-8800 or so

Not horrible at least, that would make an ok server. 3D printing a case would get expensive so maybe an open air chassis instead. You don't need all the holes to line up perfectly, and you need to be able to access the power button.

sick viper
#

its a complete computer, just thought of rehousing so it took a little less space

sand atlas
#

Ah, well that's not likely to happen

zinc horizon
#

or 3600x/1080 but most likely the first combo

#

i only got it bc it was $40

ye then it's plenty

# sick viper found it in an ewaste bin

Depending where you got it, could be a defect motherboard. I had a similar situation years ago and tried 3 CPUs on the motherboard and later learned that it fried CPUs.

chilly path
#

anyone familiar with the 5000D

#

could you fit twi 360mm rads with push-pull in it?

#

something like front and top

#

or side and top

#

I'd expect to give up the front dust filter if I was to try mounting fans to the outside of the tray (right behind the front panel itself)
But I'm not sure if it'd even fit (as well as having space to route the fan cables from that area)

sand atlas
#

Push/pull doesn't have any performance difference, especially if you're doing twin rads

blissful thistle
#

I dont think it'd fit two 360s, would it?

chilly path
#

(the idea is to use an AIO for CPU cooling and add a watercooled GPU to the top, with 3 RBG fans towards the case for lighting effects)

chilly path
blissful thistle
#

Really? Thought it fit a 360 top mounted or front mounted, not both together

Yeah it says AND

blissful thistle
#

Ahhh

#

Mb

chilly path
#

so the rads themselves SHOULD fit

#

the fans are a different story

#

I guess I can use push on the front and push-pull on the top?

blissful thistle
#

Could put the fans on the outside of the case even, if needed

#

Would look quite odd but function wise it would be the same

chilly path
#

as well as losing the front dust filter

blissful thistle
#

Mm true

chilly path
#

This is what I'm worried about

10.png
#

you would have no space to route the cables to the motherboard/whatever controller you use

#

unless you cut up the case

#

so I'm guessing that since it'd conflict to have the fan-rad-fan on the front as well as the top

#

it'll have to be push on front and push-pull on the top

blissful thistle
#

Do you already have the case?

chilly path
#

no, not yet

#

I'm merely planning out the layout so I don't buy fans I'll not be able to use

#

cuz they be expensive AF

sand atlas
#

Just get a torrent or something and call it good

blissful thistle
#

You could go with a bigger case to make things simpler, the first one that comes to mind being the torrent

sand atlas
#

You get all the fans you need with a torrent too

blissful thistle
#

Also 7000d airflow but that's like $270

#

230?

#

Smthn absurd like that

#

225

sand atlas
#

Torrent rgb is 230 rn

blissful thistle
#

So I guess either would be a fair option

chilly path
#

the 5000D would be the perfect size for my particular desk

sand atlas
#

Torrent compact maybe?

#

Ah but that's only a 280 on the bottom

#

Which is basically the same as a 360 anyway but I'm guessing you want it to match

fair bone
#

Yeah I'm going to have to get the cooler master PSU. Amazon keeps sending me the wrong product

chilly path
radiant bay
#

Dang that 4090 is worth more than my entire build

chilly path
#

IKR?

chilly path
#

save for me having a crappy case and only a 75hz 1080p screen

#

(for now anyway)

radiant bay
#

I've also got a 75hz monitor that's 1080p

#

Got it for free and nothing beats free sooo

chilly path
#

Well I got it bundled to my PC build so
It was kind of free

chilly path
#

It's not just me thinking it's kinda dumb to do it but can't afford a better screen, is it?

#

Also
Admittedly
The 5000D build would be a showcase build primarily

#

A build where you basically shell out the cash for the best hardware, looks and convenience

#

I'd still wanna keep about the old one just in case (though I might switch things around like pairing the 4090 with the 7800X3D and add the 7900XTX I'd upgrade from to the editing machine for YT to reuse it, or just give both my sister and stepdad a GPU upgrade and yoink his old GPU for my editing rig)

sand atlas
chilly path
#

Yeah I do wanna upgrade my screen

#

But money's tight right now

#

Once I actually get employed it'll be easier but rn it tough

radiant bay
#

6700 preforms the best at 1440 from what I know

blissful thistle
#

Thats not really how gpus work

radiant bay
#

But like

blissful thistle
#

6700xt is good for 1440p, but it doesn't perform better at 1440p

radiant bay
#

In benchmarks

#

It

#

Is good.

#

But like it's got 12 gb

#

And vrqm good for higher resolutions right?

sand atlas
#

Technically AMD cards will perform best relative to other cards at lower resolutions due to the lower actual memory bandwidth. The AMD cards rely heavily on the infinity cache. Plus they have lower driver overhead.

#

So you might see an AMD cards beat the nvidia rival at 1080p, match it at 1440p, and then lose at 4k

lofty pewter
#

There are also a fair few other factors when talking about low/high occupancy workloads that have more to do with the core

#

Dont really remember anything about Navi2 tho

long sphinx
#

as much as i havent wanted to hop on lian li case bandwagon.. the o-11 mini looks very appealing....

sand atlas
#

mini or air mini? They are quite different

long sphinx
#

uhh

#

mini

#

i wanted to commit to a red case but the hyte cases airflow concern me

sand atlas
#

The SFX power supply one then

long sphinx
#

what does that mean

sand atlas
#

Air mini takes regular ATX ones

long sphinx
#

im assuming a smaller psu?

sand atlas
#

Yes, and they're also more susceptible to burst overloads due to smaller bulk capacitors, bursts such as the ones high tier GPUs spike at

long sphinx
sand atlas
#

Yep nothing like having your 850W power supply trip because your 3080 decided to draw 600W for 10ms

#

Which is a real thing that happened... to me...

#

Three times

long sphinx
#

simply do not use 3080

#

highest ive seen my 6700 XT draw was like 170 lol

sand atlas
#

I bought it mid shortage, it was all I could get

#

Well, I also got the most garbage 3090 ever that lost badly to it's replacement that was technically lower tier

long sphinx
sand atlas
#

1200 on the FE 3080 ti

#

Best buy ftw

long sphinx
#

so basically the price of my entire current build lol

#

200 more actually

sand atlas
#

If I'd been able to wait 8 months I could have gotten a better 3090 for much cheaper during the crash

#

I try not to dwell on it

long sphinx
#

lol

long sphinx
sand atlas
#

I'm perfectly happy with my setup right now. I might upgrade the CPU from ryzen 5000 to 8000 because that would help with what I'm doing the most.

#

But probably not

#

This is how bad that 3090 was btw

long sphinx
#

sorry idk what im looking at

sand atlas
#

hwbot benchmark submission

#

idk how I get 65th out of 57 entries

#

Specifically that was fire strike extreme

#

It was an AIO model 3090 too, so you'd think it would be better. Wrong. The memory overheated like crazy, and everything I did wasn't enough. I even tried to benchmark in subzero ambient temperatures and I still scored 1000 points worse than an average 3080 ti.

long sphinx
sand atlas
#

It was so bad I bought a giant heatsink to slap on the backplate with a fan. It would still get hot enough to burn you if you touched it.

long sphinx
#

ill prob get a nice monitor then save for awhile

sand atlas
#

Probably GPU after you get a good 1440p monitor

#

XTX would be a huge jump

long sphinx
#

would a 750w psu handle it

#

7600 isnt power hungry it seems like

sand atlas
#

It could yeah. Maybe not one of the models that has insane stock power limits, but it could handle most of them. If you want to play it safe there's the XT.

mild roost
#

it could easily tbf

long sphinx
#

the normal lian 011 feels massive

sand atlas
#

Air mini takes regular power supplies, and it's pretty small still. About the same size as the regular mini.

long sphinx
#

Eh this is a regular o11

I guess it’s not “massive”

sand atlas

It's above average for sure

Finally reassembled the sketchy psu I painted. Soldered some extra cables to make sure it explodes faster and better

IMG20230925154647.jpg
urban charm
#

Use it on your main system for faster explode

tame cape
#

Yea
It already trips ocp (ig) with a 30w high speed server fan. Even tho 12v can pull up to 120w or so they say... maybe inrush current too high

sand atlas
#

Could do an inline potentiometer (variable resistor) to prevent the fan from going 0-100

tame cape
#

The fan was just to test if I didn't break something but I'm going to have about 8hdds hooked up and hopefully the same doesn't happen when I start them up

asked in build chat but it got buried pretty quick so ill ask here:
is the evga 450bt atx psu gonna be okay for light gaming on 3300x/1070? no overclocking will be done

#

psu tier list says D tier (iGPU) but it shouldn't explode if i pair it with a 1070 right

blissful thistle
#

Explode, likely not, but potentially die and if it does it could take other components with it

scenic lance

I'd almost buy it if the listing didn't look like something I'd find on Temu

And the air-flow/build quality/building experience probably being ass

merry idol
#

is the ASUS TUF Gaming 850 Watt 80 Plus Gold at $130 a good buy? 7800xt, most likely with 7700x, possible upgrade in 2 years

serene siren
#

You could run that off a good 750w

#

Like the thermaltake gf3 750w is $90

#

Comes with 12vhpwr too if you ever go to that spec later and don't want to replace cables

merry idol
#

Hmm

#

I wonder if its worth $30 for more just in case

serene siren
#

750w is already borderline overkill

#

Yeah I had a feeling that was the message coming lol

merry idol
#

Haha yea

#

I mean what if i decide to splurge on the 5090 or whatever

serene siren
#

850W you'd be pretty comfortable with a 7900xtx and a 7700x

merry idol
#

will i wish i have gotten the 850w?

serene siren
#

I mean

#

Will you be gaming at 4k?

#

Cos everything else would need to upgrade as well for a 5090

#

7900XTX is basically 1440p maxed out rn

#

So anything faster is going to be cpu bottlenecked

merry idol
serene siren
#

I'd worry about it at the time lad

#

You'd likely have to flip most of your current pc for one

#

So you'd get your money back on a 750w psu

#

Not to mention it likely could still run on one

#

We don't know what the power draw will be like

#

So let alone 850w being ample or insufficient

#

5090's could draw 800W for all we know

IM01 is nice

#

As long as you have the right planned build for it you get great space usage

serene siren
#

It's very niche, wanting sff enough to go through with it

#

We recommend the AP201 and similarly the D31/D41 a lot here as they try to be small(er) form factor cases while still using full size parts

#

And I mean like

Full size lol

#

IM01 I think can kinda do that too iirc

scenic lance

Yeah

I'm much the same

But fits a 360 aio

#

Full psu

Full gpu

#

Full storage, has a screen

#

It's smart lol

#

I've considered im01 but I've used the d31 before it's quite nice

scenic lance
#

Yeah I saw the D31, looked nice, was trying have a peak at smaller though

Yeah im01 would be one on the next step down I'd agree with

I already use a 120 so :P

can you describe the type of crashing that's happening?

rapid linden
#

Flickering, ram led hangs, won't boot to bios.
Running 3200 mhz DDR4, vendor approved list, model# matches, amd approved.
I turned off D.O.C.P (no over-clocking, just stock mfg mhz) and it was stable for 2 days at 2666 mhz (what it defaults to with D.O.C.P off)

#

POST lights = led RAM light stays on when it fails to boot

#

And it crashed today, again.
@ 2666 mhz

#

No blue screen. Just powers off randomly, then it won't boot led RAM POST light hangs that there's an error. Ran MEMTEST86 a few days ago, I didn't see a FAIL or ERROR on any of the reports (not that I know how to read them, just ctrl+F and searched the doc for "Errors" & "Fail")

serene siren
#

try reseat the ram

#

if that doesn't work, check your psu plugs are in properly

sand atlas
#

Could be memory failure too, you can test with OCCT for a quick test or TM5 for a deep test

#

It's uncommon but it does happen. Sometimes RAM channels go bad randomly too, so any stick you put in a certain slot appears bad. On threadripper that's a common issue from cooler mounting pressure.

serene siren
#

I mean if he did a ram test it's not my first inclination

#

memtest86 isn't so bad it's useless

sand atlas
#

Ehhhhhh

#

I've seen it miss really bad errors before

serene siren
#

not really?

#

if you run it parallel it's accurate enough to rule out random restarts

Can we at least agree that you shouldn't rely on a single test for anything in regards to stability?

Yes the additional 4 pin is optional for overclocking, and potentially server processors that use tons of power

I've been having an issue where my PC will automatically shut off out of nowhere while playing either, Fortnite, Star Wars battlefront 2, or Crossout, and this has been going on since I first built my PC at the beginning of this year (except fortnite which has only done so since they converted from U4 to U5). I cannot figure out how exactly to fix it. I thought it my be my cooling solution because my CPU gets quite hot at times (cheap 20$ Thermaltake cpu fan), so I bought a new octo-heatsink with a fan, which lowered my CPU temperature a bit, but that still didn't fix the problem. And my CPU goes to 100% utilization when loading a game in emulators (like all CPUs), but it doesn't shut off then which makes no sense. I'm thinking it might be my PSU, but I want to make sure before I buy a new one.

My PC specs are:

CPU: Ryzen 7 5800X - Pre overclocked up to 4.7 ghz

Can you download OCCT and run the power test for like 10 minutes and see if it shuts off?

sand atlas
#

Yeah that's an E tier unit

#

Quite possibly the culprit

The only ones worse are the ones that spontaneously combust

Guess I should get a new one then

That power test mr1111 suggested will show you how bad it is

I baught it brand new in december last year, so it's not referbished or anything

I'd run that occt power test and see what happens. Could be a thermal shut off or an OPP shut off.

I started it and the only ting I changed was the temerature limit. I set it to 95 Celsius.

Try setting a negative offset voltage on the core in the overclocking menu

Anti cheat definitely won't shut your pc off

#

I just thought it might be a windows secrurity bug that made it think that the anti-cheat was a virus or something.

#

Cause this happens with Crossout as well

#

Which isn't half as demanding as fortnite is

I've been using the thermaltake toughpower pf3 1050w for about a week, it has been working really nicely but I encountered a problem: first happended when I got a slight power loss and I was also using the computer, it turned off and only the RGBs of the keyboard were on, I was unable to restart my pc, no power at all, I guess only the 5vsb was getting power. Solution flick the power switch on the back and wait till the kb LEDs go off (letting the psu discharge) then I could start it normally. This issue hasn't happened during games or any type of load. But it just happened a minute ago when I was shutting off my pc in windows, turned on as usual but it like turned back on for a brief second before shutting down again and giving me the same PSU problem. Had to disconnect it and power it back on a second after...?
Normal behaviour? It doesn't look like to me. I'm ok with it if it doesn't happen during a restart or during normal use. Idk if I'd be able to get a new unit if needed

#

Happened one more time... :(
What's wrong with this thing uhhhhhhh

#

It also takes 2 more seconds to start after I press the button

#

Now it did not... 😕

#

I... I don't understand

#
  • tried sleep mode, it works but as soon as I turn it back on it dies. Olly thing that stays on us the blinking led that I get when in sleep mode
#

It could also be a motherboard problem, hopefully not, that'd suck

tame cape
#

I feel like there could be a short somewhere because I had this same problem on another system when I overloaded the psu and only the standby rail was still running

tame cape
#

I guess the velcro straps have nothing to do with static electricity or possible causes of shorts... Or am I wrong, only one I could think of is directly touching the backside of the ram pins

#

I'll just take out the mobo and hopefully find some screw or one of those metal cable ties (the ones with the plastic outside)

tame cape
#

Currently solved nothing, I entirely disassembled my pc, and reassembled it, tomorrow I'll try with one of the old PSUs and hopefully I figure something out

Montech’s King 95 now has an official release date of December 5th. Basically O11 style case with a curved glass front panel, optional mesh front panel, at 110$ USD I think.

"You see those cases from Taiwan? They have curved glass. Curved. Glass."

Hi everyone,

I have two questions. If I install the ARCTIC Liquid Freezer II 420 in the be quiet 802 window case, will it block the HDD side? Additionally, can I use be quiet 120mm light wing fans instead of the Arctic 420 fans? I'd like to use the light wing fans at the front of the case. Will this change affect the performance of the Arctic 420?

Thank you!

#

shouldn't be a problem

#

that looks like enough clearance for fans

#

but mounting them will be a bit of a finessing work

sand atlas
tulip granite
#

also the fans that come with it are more than fine

sand atlas
#

Yes the P14 fans are very good, and quiet

lavish crypt
#

Using be quiet 120mm fans Just for looking

#

I think the pump is important than fans. I saw 6 fans on the radiator didn’t reduce the temperature.

I took some time to analyse the problem with my PSU (thermaltake toughpower pf3 1050w) and here is what I can confirm:

  • if I'm able to start the computer, it works perfectly, 400w+ load.
  • as soon as I shut off the pc in windows the PSU (most times) dies and I can't turn it back on unless I unplug the power cord and wait a few seconds.
  • sleep mode works but when I click the button to wake the pc the rgbs flick for a sec and it dies again
  • the 5vsb stays on all the time, even when the PSU dies as my kb has all the leds on
#

I have two possible solutions I haven't tried: trying a diff power outlet and testing with the old PSU to make sure it's not the mb

mild roost
#

that unit is probably defective

#

consider rma'ing it

tame cape
#

I'll probably do that if I'm sure that it is the problem. Hopefully I'm able to get another unit instead of a refund since I got it thanks to a price error for just over 50€

#

Else I'd have to switch back to the other PSU which I didn't really like as it both had coil whine and a slightly loud fan at low rpm

#

Out of curiosity, what small form factor cases do y'all recommend with support for 240mm aio and preferably up to ATX mobo.

blissful thistle
#

Would you settle for matx?

#

If so ap201, 205m mesh, n200, td300 mesh, for matx mini towers

#

Matx mid tower, fractal design pop air mini, montech air 100, nx200m, Thermaltake v150

bleak holly
#

Yeah M-ATX is doable, I am considering reusing my main rig for a server soon and it uses a M-ATX board.

blissful thistle
#

Yeah the options for a full atx board any anything under atx mid tower is annoying and hard to do

bleak holly
#

I can imagine.

blissful thistle
#

But any of those cases I listed are nice

bleak holly
#

ATX in full towers is already hard enough for me because my hands are too large....

blissful thistle
#

There's other options too but those are the ones I could think of

bleak holly
#

the ap201 seems to be the best price wise.

blissful thistle
#

Ap201 and fractal design pop air are my two favorites

#

Pop air moreso

#

But that's personal preference, they're both great cases

#

I just like the look and sizing of the pop air more, also I think it comes with more fans

#

But c12c 3 pack still dirt cheap

bleak holly
#

Pop Air looked nice but 2.5x the price 😢

blissful thistle
#

Jeez

#

Diff is only $22 in the us

#

$68 and $90

#

What about the 205m mesh?

#

This is decent, not sure if you like it though https://www.amazon.com.mx/Antec-NX200-Micro-ATX-Tower-preinstalado/dp/B094NK5M4M/ref=mp_s_a_1_7?crid=1ZNMPW1T2B0OL&keywords=pc+case&qid=1698514761&refinements=p_n_feature_browse-bin%3A23771372011&rnid=23771366011&s=computers&sprefix=pc+case%2Caps%2C86&sr=1-7&ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.4e545b5e-1d45-498b-8193-a253464ffa47

#

Oh weird, it didn't show for me before.

bleak holly
blissful thistle
#

Yeah, ap201 is nicer but nx200m is definitely solid

#

Great budget case

bleak holly
#

Yeah I think I will pickup the nx200m since I just need bare bones basic stuff to get a second system running.

blissful thistle
#

Nice

bleak holly
#

I can always swap out the parts later.

blissful thistle
#

Do you need any other parts?

bleak holly
#

Besides a cooler I think I figured out everything I need.

blissful thistle
#

What's the cpu?

bleak holly
#

5700G though I'll be upgrading it in the future to a more powerful cpu with 16+ cores so I'd like a beefy aio that doesn't break the bank.

blissful thistle
#

Dual tower thermalright likely then

bleak holly
#

Going the AIO route because they travel a lot better and I'm a nomad.

blissful thistle
#

Oh yeah I completely just disregarded that sorry lol

bleak holly
#

No problems.

#

Man, travelling with desktops definitely has it's troubles lmao.
