Apparently Koolance makes 30 and 54mm thick rads with a FPI of 30!

The idea of downsizing to an ITX board is becoming more appealing...

Lmao @hidden crane @wide parrot speaking of high powered fans.

That's gonna sound like twice as loud as an arctic fan at ~40 dBA

Why are you swapping cases?

bleak holly

#

Not 4eally

#

New case kewl

bleak holly
# wide parrot 52 dBA though 💀

Decided it will be far more practical to just make a custom suitcase with sufficient padding inside and design the pc case with the heavy parts in dedicated compartments to keep everything secure because otherwise it's going to be hell going through TSA not to mention lugging a 40lb pc around by hand.

#

Anyone mind looking at my case and telling me if my PSU would fit

bleak holly
#

What case and PSU model? Once you know if your Case supportss SFX, SFX-L, or ATX (the size standard) power supply units, check what your PSU size is whether it is SFX, SFX-L, or ATX. If both are ATX, check the PSU length supported by the case and the length of your ATX PSU.

# wide parrot !ask

I am just saying man….sometimes when you just outright ask questions people get upset

#

Sorry for delay.

#

In the middle of a conversation maybe but in text channels like these you should just leave your entire question

#

To the point someone made that site and spends money to keep it running

#

Whenever you're online, just ask your question
You don't need any permission as long as you're asking in the correct space

#

E.g. don't ask about ram in the food channel

#

Only exception to this is if you're in a server or forum specifically stating that they do not want to provide support

#

What is the connector called that connects from the wall to the PSU.

#

The name of it I can use to buy one

flat eagle
#

power cord? 😄

brisk elm
#

Oh uhm

#

Yes

#

Is it it the same for a monitor too? @flat eagle

flat eagle
#

Yeah.

brisk elm
#

Same cord?

flat eagle
#

yes.

brisk elm
#

I guess I overthinked this then @flat eagle

#

Thanks

flat eagle
#

😄

inland glacier
#

Best case under £60 please 😃

scenic lance
#

Aerocool Cyclon mini or normal

#

if you dont like rgb go for the CS-105 which has a blue or red fan in the front

inland glacier
#

Cool! Do you have that one?

scenic lance
#

if you dont like glass get the CS-102 or the V2X

#

i dont but i will

#

when i upgrade

#

aerocool also sells an rgb controller

#

if you have tons of rgb

#

they also sell fans with one color or rgb

#

so cases and fans are all good with them

#

they also sell psu

inland glacier
#

I like the look of the AeroCool Rift

#

Newegg don't have that one though

scenic lance
#

oh if you are going on a more premuim build get the Quartz case

#

ill check other websites

#

where do you live?

#

they have a manual if you need it

thoughts on the h700i ninja?

wet umbra
#

Picks or it didn't happen

flat eagle
#

thoughts? you're paying 70% extra for a streamers name on it.

#

and that is just lame.

#

overall the regular h700i is decent.

wet umbra
#

If that's the case I'd say what box said

#

Never buy something that has a increase in price just because a name is on it

#

You get a decent inexpensive case and expensive hardware for the heart of that PC

flat eagle
#

I dunno if it's really 70%

#

but I'm sure it's way more than the normal version.

wet umbra
#

That's just wrong in my opinion

flat eagle
#

it's painted blue

wet umbra
#

If it was $20 it's ok

flat eagle
wet umbra
#

But even a 50% increase.... They're robbing the people

flat eagle
wet umbra
#

Oh wow

#

I don't like that case

flat eagle
#

lol.

wet umbra
#

It doesn't look like it's got enough Swiss cheese to cool the thing

flat eagle
#

I still can't believe the amount of crap I've managed to cram in this inwin 101c

#

Lol

flat eagle
#

2 3.5in drives, 2 ssds.

and that brand new atx board

I found a case on NE site that fits 2 mobos. However $650 is not in my budget. Any other cases for 2 PC setups in one case? Also, does NE offer any Desks that you can build the PC INTO the desk?

ocean merlin
#

lian li has a line of desks you can build in but i have no idea if theyre on newegg

#

theres also a company called vector but again, probably not on newegg

#

cases that can house 2 computers will probably always be more expensive, there is a couple of cases that do it tho

#

i think you can put 2 computers in the corsair 1000D

#

and theres some phanteks cases that can do it

#

and the thermaltake core w200

#

theyre all pretty expensive cases tho

solar stratus
#

Yes you are right the 1000D from corsair can fit 2 pc's in it linus did a video I think.

proven aspen
#

Stack 2 cases on top of each other a lil duck tape and some caulking they’d never know 😂😂😂😂

#

Anyone know how good the NZXT H500i is?

obsidian garden
#

good

agile scaffold
#

near as I can tell, @reef lagoon the only difference between the H500 and H500i is the H500i has RGB lighting and separate fan control
this review of the H500 should be applicable if you want to know about noise and airflow
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7HK5Aulw7YI

We review NZXT's H500 case, which ships alongside the H500i, and takes the place of the S340 (Elite). The H500 has interesting airflow and thermal characteri...

Anyone have a P350x and have comments about it?

#

hello everyone, i was looking for some help. I have a PC that needs a new PSU and i cant seem to find one that will work. the motherboard has a 24 pin, the GPU needs 2 6 pin connections, and the CPU needs an 8 pin connection. the old PSU was a 500W. any reccomendations?
i was hoping to not spend over $50

grim saffron
#

that one isnt bad at all. it seems like it will work. however is there a difference between PCI-E and SPCI-E? lol sorry ive only built 1 computer and i got a modular PSU

#

because that one has 1 PCIE 6 pin and 1 SPCI-E 6+2 pin. if there is no difference i will just not use the +2 pin because i only need the 2 6 pins

#

the 2 6 pins are for the GPU

thin silo
#

No difference other than the little 2 pin connector

grim saffron
#

great thank you very much! ill order it right now.

thin silo
#

@grim saffron check pms

tribal kelp
#

@stray abyss you said in general chat you didnt really like the psu in my build (the Corsair - CXM (2015) 450 W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-modular ATX Power Supply) and i actually didnt really like that either but i settled on it after not being able to find anything else

#

do you have anything else you would suggest?

flat eagle
#

evga supernovas are great

#

and Thermaltake makes nice ones aswell

tribal kelp
#

so im thinking about swapping out my case

#

anyone have a budget case that would fit a MSI - B450M GAMING PLUS Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard?

obsidian garden
#

phanteks is a good suggestion to keep in mind

north pond
#

I love my phanteks but it's not exactly budget oriented

supple harbor
#

Yes

north pond
#

was a little over 100usd for my Enthoo Pro TG

#

nice case for the money though, I like it

#

I know they do have a few cheaper options as well

supple harbor
#

Don’t you think it might be just a little late to be responding to E-knock?

north pond
#

the Enthoo is a full tower, no need for something that big

#

nope

#

the chat never stops scrolling, people come back to answers later/next day or w/e

supple harbor
#

Why are you awake and why am I awake

#

It’s 3 am almost 4 where I live

north pond
#

it's 6am here

supple harbor
#

Then why am I awake

north pond
#

you're obviously on the left coast lol

supple harbor
#

Yup

acoustic lily
#

is it true that this case has serious airflow and cooling problems with higher end components?

native flint
#

Depends

#

Does it have a fan at the top?

#

And vents at the bottom?

#

If it sucks air through the bottom and exhausts it out the top it might not

acoustic lily
#

one 140mm on the bottom, two 140mm on the front. the IO is on the top, basically no vent on the top

native flint
#

It probs will

#

Overheat

#

One of the review said something like that and its such a small area

acoustic lily
#

i'm expecting to build a pc with at least a ryzen 7 3700X and a geforce rtx 2060

#

and i love the size of that case, but cooling will likely be a problem

native flint
#

Do u have a budget?

#

The corsair one is small and it has stuff like that but its expensive

copper tartan
#

yea there might be some cooling problems but i dont think it would hurt any of the components

acoustic lily
#

well, effectively anywhere between $1,300 and $1,800 would be good. I've already started a build idea. I'll link it in a moment

#

note: the ryzen 2700x is a placeholder

#

and i haven't chosen a motherboard or ram yet because i'm waiting on the new ryzen processors

native flint
#

Yeah the corsair one more than 2k dollars

copper tartan
#

if i would of waited i could of bought the new ones

acoustic lily
#

i have a case listed but it's not ideal since i'm looking for that small form facter that mini itx offers, but if it's at the expense of cooling i'm not for it

native flint
#

And you shouldnt need that many fans

copper tartan
#

are you going to overclock?

acoustic lily
#

i'd like to have the potential to overclock yes

native flint
#

Noctuas are great fans

#

You dont need that many

copper tartan
#

you could probably get a closed loop water cooling system for your cpu

acoustic lily
#

i've heard great things about noctua

#

i mean, i'm looking at making this build fairly portable so i'm not so sure about having water cooling

native flint
#

An aio will be fine

#

They are portable

copper tartan
#

closed loop should be a problem with portability

native flint
#

Shouldnt

copper tartan
#

yea sorry

native flint
#

Ok

acoustic lily
#

that's fair yea

native flint
#

You could get that an even put the noctuas on it

copper tartan
#

they have smaller options too

native flint
#

Yeah

#

You basically only need a 120 rad plus a good fan per component u doing

copper tartan
#

my friend has a closed loop and takes his everywhere with no problems

acoustic lily
#

that's good to know yea

#

what is everyone else running as far as a motherboard form factor?

native flint
#

I heard theres very few x570 mAtx motherboards being made

dreamy bough
#

Lol I still have my first pc. My motherboard is the ASUS AMD😭😭

copper tartan
#

I have a ATX

#

an*

native flint
#

The one i want is ATX

copper tartan
#

ROG

native flint
#

Umm lemme check

acoustic lily
#

i'm planning on micro atx at the moment

copper tartan
#

yea i have a micro atx on my second build

#

im planning on a small case

#

im planning on this one

native flint
#

Is cable management in that good?

copper tartan
#

i dont exactly know yet

acoustic lily
#

honestly, i really want to do a really square-cased mini-itx build with a 200mm front fan, ryzen 3800x, rtx 2070

#

that would be awesome

copper tartan
#

im getting it next week so ill update y'all

native flint
#

Just make your own case markLUL

acoustic lily
#

that cooler master case was one i was seriously considering actually

copper tartan
#

yea in my first build i have a 2070

native flint
#

It probs wouldnt be that hard to make your own case

#

But to make it look decent

#

Thats the challnge

acoustic lily
#

i wish i had the experience to work with metal for a project like that

native flint
#

Just use wood markLUL

acoustic lily
#

that, i can do

copper tartan
#

you just have to make sure all of your parts fit and if you're going to upgrade

native flint
#

I kinda want to try it now

copper tartan
#

same here

native flint
#

It wouldnt be that hard i dont think just drill when needed

#

Paint it

copper tartan
#

my friend is painting and customizing his to a rocket league theme

acoustic lily
#

all i have to say is that i'm trying to imagine a case that is very sleek and streamlined. a square being made of two dimensions and the third being longer than the first two... imagine like a square airduct

copper tartan
#

i was thinking more of a polished wood look

native flint
#

Yeah

acoustic lily
#

massive fans on both ends

copper tartan
#

you need a wide case

native flint
#

Theres a micro atx case with a 200mm front fan in it being made

cerulean carbon
#

My first case is a Cougar MX330-G

Should I order more 120mm fans or nah?

acoustic lily
#

do it

native flint
#

Probs

cerulean carbon
#

I don’t want a wind tunnel but I also don’t want my first rig to burst into flames

acoustic lily
#

what do you have rn?

native flint
#

Default case fans usually arent very good if the the case is cheaper

copper tartan
#

yea i replaced mine

acoustic lily
#

legit sketching custom case ideas rn

copper tartan
#

i would buy the parts then build to fit

acoustic lily
#

that's good advice tbh

cerulean carbon
copper tartan
#

thats not bad

cerulean carbon
#

this is from Cougar’s official website

acoustic lily
#

do you only have the one in it rn?

cerulean carbon
#

Mhm

native flint
#

Is the front closed off?

cerulean carbon
#

I only took it out of the box

finite mauve
#

Up

cerulean carbon
#

Haven’t messed inside yet

finite mauve
#

Hoping to win this

acoustic lily
#

i would for sure add two noctua or corsair fans to the front

cerulean carbon
#

Cause I don’t have my motherboard yet, nor my GPU

So I haven’t done anything in it yet

#

besides see if my PSU fit my case, which thank goodness it does

copper tartan
#

yea

native flint
#

I think the front is open so u could have 2 front intake

cerulean carbon
#

How much are corsair fans?

copper tartan
#

do you want plainfans or rgb

acoustic lily
#

you can buy a twopack

cerulean carbon
#

I want a bit of colour but plain fans would work fine too

sage garden
#

I got a gtx 1050 ti lol overclocked and i3

native flint
copper tartan
#

do you want a full color spectrum or a single preferred color

native flint
#

Theres those with lighting thing for 94

#

Probs cheaper somewhere else

cerulean carbon
#

I found $9.99 red-lighted ones

copper tartan
#

140mm?

native flint
#

Probs 120

copper tartan
#

yea i found them

cerulean carbon
#

Send pic and I’ll see if its them

cerulean carbon
#

What about a dual pack @copper tartan

#

Of RGB fans

copper tartan
#

yea

#

go for it

cerulean carbon
#

Do they have that on newegg I mean

#

or amazon

#

Either or

copper tartan
#

they have a triple pack

#

i dont know about double

acoustic lily
#

it looks like only 1 or 3 packs on newegg for corsair

#

the rgb ones

cerulean carbon
#

So I have to order them individually

#

Should I do two reds or one red one blue/white

copper tartan
#

what case you got?

acoustic lily
#

i have a link for you, one moment

cerulean carbon
#

@copper tartan Cougar MX330-G

#

Scroll up a wee bit for fan support

copper tartan
#

i saw that

#

what about your motherboard

#

a red and white scheme would look good

acoustic lily
#

actually, yeah i can't find two packs of single color led fans on newegg

#

i do have this link for red fans

cerulean carbon
#

@copper tartan AORUS B450 Pro Wifi

copper tartan
#

red and white would look good

#

or both red

cerulean carbon
#

the MX330 and MX330-G are the exact same

#

Just one is acrylic and the other is tempered glass

copper tartan
#

which are you planning to get

cerulean carbon
#

I have my case already

#

No HDD, GPU, or motherboard tho

#

other than that I have everything else

acoustic lily
#

have you ordered them?

cerulean carbon
#

no

#

I need a bit of money

acoustic lily
#

gotcha

cerulean carbon
#

Accepting donations tho lol

#

All jokes and half-jokes aside, I haven’t ordered those three parts for that sole reason alone

acoustic lily
#

i honestly wish i could help

#

if i were a streamer or youtuber with a lot of money to throw around, i'd legit just on a whim buy you a $20,000 pc

My entire cart has all my parts plus those two fans @acoustic lily

acoustic lily
#

lol, solid

cerulean carbon
#

o u c h

acoustic lily
#

i hate money unless i have it

#

lol

cerulean carbon
#

out of that $339.53
Motherboard went up in price to $124.99

GPU is $132.95

HDD is $48.61

Both fans combined are around $33 rounding up

cerulean carbon
#

My HDD was $40

#

Then it went up in price

#

I might just ask my father to get me the exact same HDD from the MicroCenter near where he works for $39.99

Best case for ~$50 with good cable management?

if you go 10 dollars more, the phanteks p300 is a decent case

Phantek cases are pretty but they choke front air so badly.

??

hushed yoke
#

o shoot

#

thats expensive

#

but thanks

thin silo
#

Platinum efficiency is crazy expensive

hushed yoke
#

yeah

#

i just really like the design of the psu

#

specifically the rgb lighting on the side

#

my case is gonna have a psu cover but it has an opening to show off the psu

#

so its basically used to hide cables

vocal talon
#

dang 260

nimble tide
#

Just find something similar plat doesnt make a big difference

hushed yoke
#

aaaa im being picky but the rgb is nice and also i like that the psu and case brand match

#

both being thermaltake

ionic owl
#

You can get a thermaltake psu RGB 650W for $99 or 850W for $130, both gold

hushed yoke
#

yeah

#

i wanted rgb though 😂

ionic owl
#

Those are both RGB i mentioned

hushed yoke
#

oh

#

im blind

#

sorry

ionic owl
#

No worries, it happens

loud arch
#

@hushed yoke Hey man, sorry so late.

The PF1 is hella expensive since it is a platinum rated psu. keep a lookout for a gold-rated version coming soon!

hushed yoke
#

oh nice! can’t wait @loud arch Thanks!

thin silo
#

@loud arch can I get an unrated one?

#

I mean, I'll pay like...$40 for it.

loud arch
#

I'd accept your beard as payment

#

take it to a salon, get it made into a beard I can wear daily

#

+4 Charisma, +4 intelligence

hushed yoke
#

oh yea while ur online is the gold rated one gonna come in the exact same lighting config too? i love the rgb side panel and top fan

loud arch
#

Yessir 😉

hushed yoke
#

niceee

#

will it by any chance also come in a 850w config? sorry for all the question 😂

loud arch
#

should be, it will cover all the common wattage below 1000

hushed yoke
#

perfect

#

thanks so much

#

thats the only one i could find on newegg using the color filter

native flint
#

Yeah thats the one i seen

native flint
#

Gracias

cerulean carbon
hushed yoke
#

theres where u put the cables

#

to make it look nice

#

@cerulean carbon

cerulean carbon
#

It came with zippy bois

#

also PSU, fan up or fan down?

untold drift
#

what do you mean fan up or fan down?

cerulean carbon
#

The PSU

#

Lemme send pic

untold drift
#

it is designed to go down, but hope your tower is not resting on the floor and has legs

cerulean carbon
untold drift
#

or you will suffocate it

#

it only fits the way the screw holes line up

cerulean carbon
#

It has little stubby legs

untold drift
#

needs to go down for ventilation

cerulean carbon
#

Okay, so it fits right side up

kind pagoda
#

If the case has a vent in the bottom then put the fan towrds the bottom. If not then fan up

cerulean carbon
#

Since the screws fit right side up only

untold drift
#

important always pull air in from the front of your case and out the top and back... the hot air is in the back of your computer.. shortest distance out is to the back

cerulean carbon
#

3/4 screws fit upside down

#

One does not

untold drift
#

recommend 1/2 fans front, 1 back and 1 top

kind pagoda
#

How is the PSU placed? With fan up or down?

#

@cerulean carbon

cerulean carbon
#

Fan down

#

3/4 screw holes line up

#

Fan up, all four fit

untold drift
#

picture of screw holes?

kind pagoda
#

That does not seem right. Please send picture

cerulean carbon
kind pagoda
#

They look right to me

cerulean carbon
#

Wait I meant those flipped lol

untold drift
#

the holes look just fine.. do not tighten any screw all the way until all screws are started

#

that way you can adjust the screw holes

cerulean carbon
untold drift
#

well, you have to line up the screw holes.. case may be different

#

what kind of case it?

#

what psu is it

kind pagoda
#

That seems fine, if the holes are off a little just shimmy the PSU a little bit as you put the screws in and dont tighten them down all the way.

subtle grotto
#

@cerulean carbon 2nd image looks correct

#

not all screws go in the oval opening

cerulean carbon
#

@subtle grotto the second one is where they all line up

subtle grotto
#

they all line up in 1st one too

cerulean carbon
#

3/4 line up in number one

#

not all of them

subtle grotto
#

yeah one sec

#

@cerulean carbon its normal for a screw to go in the little lip like the bottum left if thats the one you think doesn't line up

cerulean carbon
#

they don't?

#

why?

#

I thought they all went in the little holes

#

@subtle grotto Is there a reason?

subtle grotto
#

@cerulean carbon maybe easiest way to make it universal for cases idk all it needs to do is hold it in position

cerulean carbon
#

so three screws would do the job holding it in the case?

rigid hare
#

the 4th screw will fit somewhere as darkhero said

#

it just might not be in a hole per say

#

and be on one of the indents

subtle grotto
#

@cerulean carbon 4th screw still goes in where i circled just in lip/indent

#

hm

#

alright, thank you

graceful barn
#

can someone help explain what happens when a PSUs wattage doesn't meet the recommended wattage of a GPU?

scenic lance
#

Try using google

#

Smh

novel hinge
#

now generally PSUs will ramp up beyond their rated maximum, but that's also outside their peak efficiency

#

it's not a good idea, especially if it's super far out of spec

#

and put in the specs you plan to use to see if you're really in spec

graceful barn
#

Thanks. And I did try google and got a bunch of varied answers. This was helpful though I appreciate it.

So I have a question for all of you. I'm new to pc gaming and I'm wondering what you guys think of the build I have. Is it solid or does it need some work? I have a MSI Geforce GTX 1050 Ti, Intel core I5 9400F, MSI MAG Z390 Tomahawk Motherboard, Corsair vengeance Ram 3000, And a 1 tb hard drive, And a 240Gb ssd, Plus the evga 500W, And a NZXT S340 ATX case

hushed yoke
#

how much ram is it

#

also if you can afford it get a better graphics card if youre doing gaming

#

i have a 1050ti

#

it can handle most stuff on medium to high settings, but some games i have to tone it down just so it will work

#

also you might wanna get a larger capacity psu for better efficiency

#

but other than that, pretty good

hardy horizon
#

nah don't need anything above a 500w psu nowadays. parts are becoming more efficient

hushed yoke
#

make sure the 1tb hard drive is at least 7200rpm or its gonna be real slow

hardy horizon
#

build like this won't draw more than 390 watts

#

under load.

hushed yoke
#

well im saying if he upgrades the parts i recommended

hardy horizon
#

even then, you could throw in a 1070 and it won't draw more than 425 watts and that's really pushing it, which i doubt he'll do.

marble whale
#

Ya, the ram will be 16gb (because I'm getting 2 sticks worth 8gb each) and Ya My next plan is to get a better graphic card within a few months. I'd like to upgrade to a 2080 within a couple of months.

hardy horizon
#

i'll tell ya now, if you're looking for the best bang for your buck gpu, the 2080 isn't it but if you don't care how much you spend, go for it dude. it's a fantastic card for gaming.

grand ether
marble whale
#

So I understand my graphics card is pretty old for the rest of the pc but right now I'll have to deal with what I have until I have the $. What would you recommend for the best bang for my buck?

hardy horizon
#

finding a used 1070. if you're looking to buy new, a 2060 will have roughly the same if not slightly better performance if you're not ray tracing.

vocal talon
#

^ or if possible a 1070 ti

static summit
#

2060 is greeat card

#

i was looking at a 1070 but now they went up super high price. like 500 bucks now...... i get 144 fpps on 1080p ultra with my 2060. running at a cool 68c

hushed yoke
#

there was a 1070 on newegg for $300 but theyre outta stock now

#

but yea

#

2060 is better than the 1070 and cheaper

static summit
#

they had one on sale even yesterday for 500 bucks!!!!!!

hardy horizon
#

1660ti is also a great deal right now

static summit
#

it is

#

its down to 260

#

the non ti is pointles though

hardy horizon
#

looking for something to match if not outperform the 1070 for a lower price, 1660ti is a good one to consider.

static summit
#

ide say its on par. not better tho

#

the 2060 is only slightly better than the non ti 1070

hardy horizon
#

give it a mild overclock and it'll be perform pretty well.

static summit
#

oh yea

#

def.

#

i say the only cards worth it from nvidia are the 1660ti the 2060 and the 2080/ti

hardy horizon
#

and like, not even saying this bc i'm on the newegg server but the 1660ti prices on newegg are genuinely really good

static summit
#

oh yea

#

def.

#

ive been going with amazon allot lately

static summit
#

that two day shipping for maybe a ten dollar difference is worth it to me

#

yea zotac are better than there reputation would say

#

ive got the zotac 2060

#

runs super cool at 68c max but it wont overclock that high

hardy horizon
#

silicon lottery ig

static summit
#

yea. but the highest oc ive seen on the webs is +115mhz and i was able toget that

#

zotac uses the reference pcb and power

hardy horizon
#

zotac definitely oc's from the factory. it's probably why

static summit
#

nvidia has been hoarding all the binned chips though

#

have you sen that

hardy horizon
#

no?

static summit
#

i got the base model. not the oc one

#

yea

hardy horizon
#

i mean, idk why they would

static summit
#

nvidia has been keping all the binned memory and turing chips for there reference cards

#

they are going to start rolling them out to companies now to put on there cards

hardy horizon
#

hm

static summit
#

so along with the "super" /ti cards coming out... its just another smack on the head freom nvidia\

#

lol

#

to us who bought rtx before all this 😦

hardy horizon
#

is "super" confirmed a card now?

static summit
#

yea. there ti versions

#

just calling them super i believe

hardy horizon
#

i saw the super teaser but wasn't sure if it was gonna be a new product or just a new card lineup but cool if it is a new card

static summit
#

nvidia def. knows what there doing. with there staggered releaseing

#

they talked about it at computex

#

best psu for 750w @grand ether

?

vocal talon
#

What about the g3 @hushed yoke ? Idk much about psu’s

hushed yoke
#

that looks good too

#

evga is a good brand

#

make sure you get a fully modular PSU though

#

that means you can swap out cables in case one fails or something

#

also you can use custom sleeved cables if you want, just make sure you get the ones that are correct for your power supply

vocal talon
#

Yeah it is

hushed yoke
#

the g3 comes with a 7-10 year warranty also

#

very nice

#

the thermaltake one i linked earlier also has a 10 year warranty

its also a bit cheaper

and it comes with rgb

tired crow
#

I got a G3, it's a really great PSU.

Fully modular with more cables than you can shake a stick at!

#

looks like quite a bottleneck you have there

#

idk the draw on that Titan, but 600W would probably be sufficient

#

there are decent wattage calculators online if you want to know the total draw of your system (theoretically)

#

but dang...a Titan paired with an 8350...

lol

#

aim for at least gold-rated efficiency imo

better internals, less heat, etc

1000w psu is enough to run two 2080ti's right?

tired crow
#

@bitter ruin

#

You should be good with an 850 unless you really really really want to push them harder than they should be.

bitter ruin
#

hmm

tired crow
#

1000 is definitely enough under any circumstance with any amount of equipment hooked up.

why the hecc does my friend use a 1200 for two 2080 ti's then

lol

Overkill is fun.

#

"I use a 1200w for MY DUAL 2080TI."

#

Oh wait, wrongbenchmark.

#

Regardless.

#

1k is way more than enough.

bitter ruin
#

yeah its not that different

#

they tried pressuring me into getting a 1200 for running a single 2080ti

tired crow
#

1000w is basically protection from if the GPU power spikes.

#

Which is uncommon unless you buy an absolutely garbage aftermarket card.

bitter ruin
#

which i didnt

#

you'll never believe what he did with his gpu though

tired crow
#

?

bitter ruin
#

his display froze so instead of just forcing a power down of the system, he thought it'd be a good idea to rip the gpu out with the system running

tired crow
#

Yeahno.

#

Don't take any advice from those guys.

#

Too much money to know what's good for em.

Hey so I just got a brand new pc yesterday from Newegg. While gaming about an hour ago it just shut down and won’t turn back on. When plugged in I can see an amberish light flashing where the Ethernet port is but that’s the only sign of power. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this. https://www.newegg.com/abs-computer-technologies-prism-s-ali287/p/N82E16883102718 this is the link to the computer I got.

@crimson ridge I would message one of the techies, mods, or staff with that question

I got the white one and it does look amazing white against RGB but what’s crazy is the picture on Newegg makes the case look thin but in actuality it a fat case looks kind of stubby

do cases come with cable ties or do i need to get those separately?

im still trying to figure so much out ...like how do i make the text size larger. When im using 4k why does the text shrink so much ..and a million others like that lol

every one knows the size of a ps4 case so i figure use that,,

@flat eagle really appreciate you and @novel hinge helping me

i wouldve been lookin on youtube for hours

it froze up on me one time trying to load world at war in 4k guess i cant

#

It looks really nice. I'm in the market for a more boxy case, I have a tower right now). Is it cumbersome on top of you desk?

flat eagle
#

yeah a lot of that has to do with the actual game @safe umbra

#

different game engines do different things.

safe umbra
#

well i dont have much experience but i can tell you this in april i ordered a pc from ibuypoer, it was the same components as this one.. it kept overheating it was a mid tower and that was just slightly annoying on the desk so i sent it back to have them redesign it in another case a full size tower, and when that arrived it was a monster and it looked like kids assembled it. so long story even longer, i returned it for a refund and bought this

#

and the case feels perfect to sit on the desk its not in the way at all

#

box how do i make the type larger arghhhh i have a27 screen and i have to look 2' from it lol

#

ok i got it had to change size to 200% go figure

@safe umbra was there a restocking fee for the two refunds

No because it was their fault the first build wasn’t right , but I did have to pay shipping . And let me tell you shipping a 80lb pc across country via ups ain’t cheap , to the sum of $257 and insurance was another $220

I've got a quick question - I'm building a new PC - I'm on the last two parts which is the CPU and Case. My CPU is going to be the Ryzen 3800x, however I have been preferential to the Corsair Air540 but the pricetag on that is just a little on the steep edge. Is it worth it or are there other case recommendations? I should clarify that RGB lighting isn't too big of an issue for me, my biggest issue is easy wire management.

@wooden yoke If it's going in your dorm room I'd go with the ugliest or most plain looking case you can find, less likely to get your computer stolen that way.

Oo that looks nice too 😭

main crow
#

Man, that looks awesome. Love the purple

elfin ginkgo
#

My suggestion is to get one with good space for cable management, and plenty of room for fans/radiators. That way you can stick with the same case as the years go by if/when you decide to upgrade. Big name brand (I.e. Corsair, NZXT, Cooler Master) cases are generally more refined/more reliable. But they’re also more expensive. Best advice is just to read reviews

yeah that one has space for rads

I was thinking either a Corsair spec06, phanteks p400, or a meshify c

@kindred void Only while gaming right?

didnt we already go over this in general?

no you cannot fix it

We went over that with a different guy, @hushed yoke zlack

hushed yoke
#

oops

#

my bad

scenic lance
#

@hushed yoke @kindred void If it's a coil whine only during gaming you can fix it by having vsync enabled in the game as it caps your fps and puts less strain on the video card which means less strain on the psu which at least lessens, sometimes eliminates coil whine.

hushed yoke
#

🤔 never thought about that

scenic lance
#

I know because my psu suffers from coil whine too. I spent many hours researching the issue.

hushed yoke
#

i mean i assume if it only happened while he was gaming then he woulda mentioned that

#

but idk

scenic lance
#

granted simply setting a 60fps cap in game should help too. Also vsync fix doesn't work well if you have a high Hz monitor.

I guess we'll have to wait till he responds.

had it for a while

#

it made the sound when i changed mobos

#

am3+ to am4

#

but ryzen uses less watts

#

than a fx

@signal saddle That's a good Mobo and case. You should wait and select your power supply last after you figure out all the other parts so you can then figure out how much wattage you need out of a power supply.

#

obsidian garden
#

oops

#

said a poopy word not for kids

#

i remember cpu sockets having 8 pins.. . . ?

#

right?

#

let me check my pc lol

scenic lance
#

@kindred void you can try just the 4 pin in the 8 pin connector. it will easily fit in one side or the other. it MAY...fix your issue by some small chance.

obsidian garden
#

yeah it uses 8

#

ok just to confirm

kindred void
#

@scenic lance i have to unscrew the whole mobo

#

rip

#

ill try

scenic lance
#

@kindred void why would you have to unscrew the whole mobo to change the mobo power connector? that does not make sense

obsidian garden
#

ikr

#

lmao

#

just unplug it

#

mindBL0WN

scenic lance
#

only reason i can think of is if he routed the cable under the mobo and then screwed the mobo down...which is not a good idea or way to hide cables.

obsidian garden
#

lmao

#

who even DOES that

#

your gears must be c00c00 to do that lol

#

your brain that is

kindred void
#

@scenic lance my mobo doesnt allow the hole for the cable to go through

#

cus the mobo blocks it

obsidian garden
#

that's why you use the cutouts of your case.

kindred void
#

i do

#

the motherboard

obsidian garden
#

good

kindred void
#

blocks it

obsidian garden
#

cause cables dont go in holes of motherboards

#

doesnt work like that

scenic lance
#

oh it's one of those setup's, I forgot about in a very select few cases a big mobo can block those access holes.

kindred void
#

yea

obsidian garden
#

i mean i can think of like atx mobos that can block a few

#

maybe

#

not sure about that i have a micro atx mobo

#

wifi atx mobos with a bit of rgb are expensive

#

so i just went with micro atx

scenic lance
#

@kindred void so are you sure you can't just unplug the cable, take apart the 8 pin plug into two 4 pins and just plug one in without unscrewing the mobo? you should be able to do it without moving the entire cable all around

obsidian garden
#

though i wouldnt have minded if the mobo didnt have rgb, that's prob my only maybe regret of getting a micro atx mobo

kindred void
#

@scenic lance its 2 cables

#

one 8 pin plug

#

and a 4 pin plug

scenic lance
#

usually the connector on an 8pin splits into two 4 pins. please check carefully

#

there would be a crease in the middle where the two 4 pins meet

kindred void
#

ill see

#

let me turn it off

@scenic lance what was your response to my post I lost it

"@signal saddle That's a good Mobo and case. You should wait and select your power supply last after you figure out all the other parts so you can then figure out how much wattage you need out of a power supply."

signal saddle

I have a full build list and it said just shy of 300

scenic lance
#

@signal saddle oh, your picture only showed 3 items. That psu should work well then, good brand too.

obsidian garden
#

yo @kindred void i gotta say, nice fans

#

are they uphere?

scenic lance
#

@kindred void is that black connector actually labeled "cpu"

signal saddle
#

@scenic lance that's all I can buy at the moment lol

scenic lance
#

@signal saddle Oh i see, well those 3 things should work well for you to start with. good luck with your build.

kindred void
#

@obsidian garden yea

#

@kindred void it is labeled cpu

#

@scenic lance

obsidian garden
#

yeahhhhhhh

#

my fellow uphere man

#

👌

#

though im upgrading them to corsair fans along with more storage in the near future

#

so im prob gonna sell em on craigslist or whatever

#

or give em to someone that needs em

scenic lance
#

@kindred void Ok well I guess you can try that 4 pin cpu connector. Make sure it also is labeled "cpu" though. It should work as I've used a 4pin cpu connector in an 8pin socket before. Hopefully...the 4 pin will fix your issue as it could be a problem with the 8pin cable or that section of the psu.
