thanks for trying to help tho

scenic lance Jul 9, 2019, 4:27 AM

#

@kindred void Only other option is borrowing an equal or greater wattage quality psu and try that and seeing if you still have a buzzing. What power supply is it anyways?

hasty delta Jul 9, 2019, 4:37 AM

#

hopefully its not one of those old Thermaltake tr2 psu's. those things all made horrible noises

I own a lot of thermaltake products and have been happy with most of them, but that was not one of them

@tawdry sandal EVGA is always good quality but the bq series is only 80+ Bronze so it's not great at saving energy, it's ok...but not great.

theres still a coil whine in th e psu

so

#

its not the cpu

scenic lance Jul 12, 2019, 6:20 PM

#

@kindred void Old PSU right, that is not under warranty? Either way it needs to be replaced, if you're 100% sure the sound is coming from the PSU that is.

kindred void Jul 12, 2019, 6:21 PM

#

@scenic lance its the fan

scenic lance Jul 12, 2019, 6:22 PM

#

@kindred void What's PSU brand, model and wattage is it anyways?

kindred void Jul 12, 2019, 6:22 PM

#

solytech 400w

scenic lance Jul 12, 2019, 6:23 PM

#

Yikes, never even heard of that. Let me look for a cheap priced replacement...

#

@kindred void I suggest this one: https://www.newegg.com/corsair-cx-series-cx450m-450w/p/N82E16817139146. It's semi-modular which allows for only the cables you need to be plugged in, gives you a little more wattage headroom over the 400watt plus it's a great brand.

my PSU is a bit too long for my PSU shroud opening

flat eagle Jul 21, 2019, 7:25 PM

@tawny palm let the rgb shine out that little window.

tawny palm Jul 21, 2019, 7:26 PM

I'm hoping that all the rgb will obscure the open space ROFLEgg

flat eagle Jul 21, 2019, 7:26 PM

😄

#

it'll be fine

#

got any small figurines?

tawny palm Jul 21, 2019, 7:26 PM

I have a bunch! That's a great idea

I have some 3D printed zerglings that would look great in there

Thanks for that idea

Does this look fine

It's a lil stand offish but I assume it's ok

solar tundra Jul 21, 2019, 7:57 PM

#

Should be flush

tawny palm Jul 21, 2019, 7:58 PM

#

It cant go flush which is the problem

scenic lance Jul 21, 2019, 8:04 PM

#

@tawny palm Well if you tried and tried and it won't fit right but still works, just have to leave it I guess.

tawny palm Jul 21, 2019, 8:05 PM

#

I think a part of the case is blocking it from going forward

scenic lance Jul 21, 2019, 8:10 PM

#

You're not the first one to have a problem with the pre-installed IO plates.

tawny palm Jul 21, 2019, 8:11 PM

#

Oh well

#

It's not like I'll see that part a lot ROFLEgg

scenic lance Jul 21, 2019, 8:13 PM

It would drive me crazy until I fixed it. 😃

marble girder Jul 21, 2019, 8:13 PM

#

My friend in newyork has no AC and his house is 109°

#

His case is just blowing hot air inside

#

Is there any way to like get cool air into a case or to ramp up case flow?

#

Exterior fan maybe?

scenic lance Jul 21, 2019, 8:15 PM

#

@marble girder Are the fans plugged directly into the mobo?

#

the case fans

marble girder Jul 21, 2019, 8:15 PM

#

Yeah

#

They're on max but it ain't doing much

peak mantle Jul 21, 2019, 8:16 PM

#

@tawny palm seems like an SFX power supply? if so it should come with a SFX to ATX adapter frame so it fills the entire slot

#

was talking about the PSU pic above that

#

@marble girder imo either they pay for an ac or they pay for a new computer once this one starts to fry...

scenic lance Jul 21, 2019, 8:28 PM

@peak mantle This?: https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/71yIy4ipgzL._SX425_.jpg

@scenic lance yah

marble girder Jul 21, 2019, 8:28 PM

#

Their 8700k is legit throttling to 2.4 ghz

peak mantle Jul 21, 2019, 8:29 PM

#

basically any other cooling option would cause unwarranted condensation in undesired places

#

like, household cooling options

scenic lance Jul 21, 2019, 8:29 PM

#

@peak mantle That wouldn't help fill up the side open area for the PSU though. It's not like it pushes the PSU further into the case to fill in the opening.

peak mantle Jul 21, 2019, 8:29 PM

#

even with my ac I can literally feel water droplets on my skin from time to time

#

they could theoretically try to transport the computer to a place that has an ac?

#

do they live in a house?

#

@scenic lance yeah i couldn't really tell if it was an SFX power supply or if the slot was just too big.

#

are there form factors larger than ATX??

#

the screws still gotta be in the same place so I'm assuming this is a different form factor, in which case there should still be a relevant adapter plate somewhere.

#

i've seen i/o sheilds not being flush, that's just how the case was designed

#

maybe it was designed for a proprietary IO plate

scenic lance Jul 21, 2019, 8:39 PM

#

@peak mantle ATX is the biggest and he's trying to fill up this space circled in the picture. An adapter plate would not help with that.

#

How would I connect these

📎 JPEG_20190721_151047.jpg

scenic lance Jul 21, 2019, 9:21 PM

#

@tawny palm The connector on the right is a SATA power connector, it connects to a SATA power connector on your one power supply cable.

#

The other connector is to plug in another fan if you need to.

tawny palm Jul 21, 2019, 9:22 PM

#

do i need to plug in the SATA to control the fan or something?

scenic lance Jul 21, 2019, 9:26 PM

#

That SATA is only for power.

#

@tawny palm ^ also, are you using a fan hub?

tawny palm Jul 21, 2019, 9:30 PM

#

nope

scenic lance Jul 21, 2019, 9:31 PM

#

@tawny palm what fans are they? Brand and model.

tawny palm Jul 21, 2019, 9:32 PM

#

the connectors came with the case

#

i havent bought any extra fans

scenic lance Jul 21, 2019, 9:33 PM

#

The fans should still say the Brand and Model on the round sticker.

#

@tawny palm ^

tawny palm Jul 21, 2019, 9:34 PM

#

it says TT-1225

peak mantle Jul 21, 2019, 9:35 PM

#

@tawny palm does the PSU actually screw in properly?

tawny palm Jul 21, 2019, 9:35 PM

oh lol

peak mantle Jul 21, 2019, 9:37 PM

that side window length is for PSU's of +1000w

tawny palm Jul 21, 2019, 9:38 PM

ye oof

#

ok i found out what the sata was for

#

it's for the rgb on the front panel

peak mantle Jul 21, 2019, 9:38 PM

nice

#

what you can do is buy some white tape to fill the extra window space

#

sorry for the misunderstanding

tawny palm Jul 21, 2019, 9:40 PM

all good

scenic lance Jul 21, 2019, 9:40 PM

@tawny palm Ok, the TT = Thermal Take. 1225 being the model number.

tawny palm Jul 21, 2019, 9:41 PM

i see i see

#

alright well everything is working correctly so now i just need to wait for a gpu and then i can start using it :D

#

thanks for all the help today everyone!

scenic lance Jul 21, 2019, 9:43 PM

#

@tawny palm Looks like it has at least HDMI on the mobo so if you have an HDMI cable and compatible monitor you could start using it now. 😛

without a gpu?!!

yeah, at least to just test if it works, install apps, etc.

tawny palm Jul 21, 2019, 9:44 PM

cool, i didnt know that

peak mantle Jul 21, 2019, 9:44 PM

it'll use the integrated graphics of the cpu

tawny palm Jul 21, 2019, 9:44 PM

oh thats dope

#

it's a 2700x so i assume i could download windows 10 or something for now?

peak mantle Jul 21, 2019, 9:45 PM

do you have another comp to download it on?

tawny palm Jul 21, 2019, 9:45 PM

ye

i have a laptop and another desktop

peak mantle Jul 21, 2019, 9:46 PM

yey

#

yeah google the windows 10 media creation tool, you can either make a dvd or usb stick, then install it and skip the serial key for later, then it'll run in trial mode until you activate it but at least you get to see if the build works

tawny palm Jul 21, 2019, 9:49 PM

ok cool, will do

thanks for the advice

peak mantle Jul 21, 2019, 9:49 PM

of course check your cpu temps in bios before that 😉

tawny palm Jul 21, 2019, 10:24 PM

#

Do I need to have ethernet connected to flash the bios for the first time?

scenic lance Jul 21, 2019, 10:33 PM

@tawny palm Not if you're flashing it from a USB drive. If you're using something like MSI's "Live Update" though, then yes.

errant raft Jul 22, 2019, 12:09 AM

#

@tawny palm I can't tell what kind of Power supply you have from the photo. I would guess one of the EVGA B3s which I believe are 160mm. To fill that space up with just a power supply you would need a 200mm, more than likely. Also, if you have a 2700x, that processor doesn't have integrated video. You would need a dedicated video card for display out.

Yo, been piecing together my build for 2 weeks now since I sold my 8350 gtx 970 setup.
Going to be using peripherals like a screen drawing tablet and 2035 powered by scarlet pro 2 and am looking into vega 56 in passthrough possibly OC'd with a cheap nvidia card as my overlay handler.
This is my PCPartpicker build so far: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/FallenAsh/saved/#view=xC2jpg

Is the PSU I chose good enough for everything I've mentioned, I know it's listed as "B tier" on LTT forums but curious of more opinions.

burnt scarab Jul 25, 2019, 5:42 PM

@hasty delta thx, just a basic air cooled system, but I was thinking I would upgrade to a loop later

scenic lance Jul 26, 2019, 3:12 AM

@subtle grotto Well I was thinking maybe you bought it "open box" and maybe the original buyer sent it back with the wrong cables and you got it like that.

Not really picky on color. It's never going to be seen anyway. PSU has a shroud and the cable is going into the cable area in the back.

hey the fan on the back of my dark avenger case by antec won't work correctly, it spins for a little bit then stops, and i need to unplug it and plug it in again. any ideas on how to fix or what might be wrong with it?

#

could it be my psu?

thats only 150w

alpine tinsel Jul 28, 2019, 2:38 AM

i think it turns off after about an hour or a hour and a half

probably more

@alpine tinsel what size fan?

alpine tinsel Jul 28, 2019, 2:41 AM

give me a sec

ok

scenic lance Jul 28, 2019, 2:47 AM

@alpine tinsel also, what does it plug into - your mobo, psu 4 pin molex or psu Sata power?

alpine tinsel Jul 28, 2019, 2:47 AM

#

not too sure it has three small prongs that the cord connects to on the mobo

#

im not very tech savy on the physical side

scenic lance Jul 28, 2019, 2:48 AM

#

the connector on the mobo you have it connected to, what does it say? it should say something like "sys_fan1"

alpine tinsel Jul 28, 2019, 2:49 AM

#

ok one sec

#

it say sf fan 1 and sf fan 3

#

or well sf3 and sf 1

scenic lance Jul 28, 2019, 2:51 AM

#

and the fan shuts off on both those connectors?

alpine tinsel Jul 28, 2019, 2:51 AM

#

it's just one connector, the words above it say that

#

im sorry if im making it harder by being a bit slower at pc terms and physical looks

#

oh and the mobo is a custom by hp

scenic lance Jul 28, 2019, 2:53 AM

#

but you just listed two connectors: sf1 and sf3

alpine tinsel Jul 28, 2019, 2:54 AM

#

ok

#

give me a sec

#

on the board above the port it says sfan1 and sfan3

#

thats what im looking for correct?

scenic lance Jul 28, 2019, 2:56 AM

#

1 connector should only say 1 of those. 2 ports would say sf1 and sf3 by each connector.

alpine tinsel Jul 28, 2019, 2:57 AM

#

mind if i send a picture?

#

might help me more

#

for my slowness of explanation on whats wrong

scenic lance Jul 28, 2019, 2:58 AM

yeah you can post a pic on this page

there we go

scenic lance Jul 28, 2019, 3:07 AM

#

ok, well do you have another fan you can try in that connector to see if that fan has the same problem?

alpine tinsel Jul 28, 2019, 3:08 AM

#

i might i have a smaller one

#

would that work or does it need tohe same size?

#

let me see if i can get the screws out first actually

scenic lance Jul 28, 2019, 3:09 AM

#

well first we just need to see if it's a problem with the fan or something with the mobo

#

also this is important don't unplug or plug in fans while the computer is running.

#

^

alpine tinsel Jul 28, 2019, 3:09 AM

#

well this probably has nothing to do with what is wrong, but my mobo has detected it not spinning

#

ok brb

scenic lance Jul 28, 2019, 3:11 AM

#

well that's a good sign that the mobo can detect the fan not spinning IF the fan does actually stop spinning. are you sure the fan stops spinning or are you only going on what the mobo tells you? @alpine tinsel

alpine tinsel Jul 28, 2019, 3:11 AM

#

the fan does stop spinning

#

i unplug then plug back in and i goes for abou 2 hours, then it stops and wont start unless i unplug and plug it back in

#

im testing a smaller fan now btw

#

might take some time to see if it stops though

scenic lance Jul 28, 2019, 3:13 AM

#

ok

#

and what software is telling you when the fan stops spinning?

#

^

alpine tinsel Jul 28, 2019, 3:13 AM

#

when i restarted my pc it said that

#

so i think its just the mobo that detected it

#

unless cpu-z can?

#

that's the only pc part software that i have (that i know of at least)

scenic lance Jul 28, 2019, 3:15 AM

#

in what way did your pc tell you that? what did the screen look like?

alpine tinsel Jul 28, 2019, 3:16 AM

#

it looked like a older windows notification thing it had a blue rim grey-ish white background with the words (not exact but close) "fan not spinning may have memory loss"

scenic lance Jul 28, 2019, 3:17 AM

#

and this is in win10?

alpine tinsel Jul 28, 2019, 3:17 AM

#

yea

its 64-bit normal windows ten i think

scenic lance Jul 28, 2019, 3:18 AM

#

well while you're waiting on the fan to stop or not we can chat about things more...how long ago did this problem start?

alpine tinsel Jul 28, 2019, 3:18 AM

#

about 3 months

#

i recently upgraded the case, from a hp pavilion mini tower case

#

to a antec dark avenger DA601

scenic lance Jul 28, 2019, 3:20 AM

#

what win10 build? you can findout by going to start icon at bottom left then "settings" then "system", then "about" and it's at the bottom next to "version"

alpine tinsel Jul 28, 2019, 3:21 AM

#

ok give me a sec

#

ok it's just windows ten home

scenic lance Jul 28, 2019, 3:22 AM

#

what version?

#

it should say a number

alpine tinsel Jul 28, 2019, 3:22 AM

#

1803

#

sorry though you ment the windows edition

scenic lance Jul 28, 2019, 3:25 AM

#

so you've unplugged or plugged in the fan before while the computer is running?

alpine tinsel Jul 28, 2019, 3:25 AM

#

if i remeber correctly yes

#

would it hurt even more if i plugged it in more than once while running?

scenic lance Jul 28, 2019, 3:26 AM

#

that's not good, doing that could cause a short which could fry something

alpine tinsel Jul 28, 2019, 3:26 AM

#

ok

scenic lance Jul 28, 2019, 3:27 AM

#

woops, i mean it could cause a spark

alpine tinsel Jul 28, 2019, 3:27 AM

#

my gpu was fried before i unplugged anything inside the pc could that have caused this?

#

that's fine

scenic lance Jul 28, 2019, 3:27 AM

#

well yeah doing it more than once would be worse

alpine tinsel Jul 28, 2019, 3:27 AM

#

ok

scenic lance Jul 28, 2019, 3:28 AM

#

it's very doubtful that a bad video card caused that.

alpine tinsel Jul 28, 2019, 3:28 AM

#

alright, but i might have overloaded it with two monitors

alpine tinsel Jul 28, 2019, 3:29 AM

#

wow

scenic lance Jul 28, 2019, 3:29 AM

#

well that wouldn't really overload a gpu, what would damage a gpu is too much heat, too high of an overclock, not having the gpu fully seated, not having the power cables to the gpu plugged in correctly.

solar tundra Jul 28, 2019, 3:30 AM

#

GPUS are pretty resilient... but pc guy is spot on... he’s pretty smart..

alpine tinsel Jul 28, 2019, 3:30 AM

ok, my pc was a pre built and i know some things can get damaged or moved in shipping or just people moving the box on the shelves

im unsure if this is my psu or something else but i think it is my psu so i go to turn it on and it starts up for less that a second and shuts off any ideas why?

#

just bought brand new ram motherboard and cpu

#

so i expect that its my psu

scenic lance Jul 29, 2019, 4:37 AM

#

@dry solar May be the PSU, could also be another part that is broken or maybe just not installed properly. You should check all connections on the inside of your computer such as if the video card is fully seated, all power cables and wires fully connected to everything. You could also try disconnecting and re-connecting everything, sometimes that helps in that situation such as uninstall and re-install video card, it's power cables, storage drive power cable, 4 or 8 pin cpu power cable on the mobo, 24pin mobo power cable, can also try removing and then re-installing the RAM sticks and check main power cable that runs from electrical outlet/power strip/surge protector/battery backup that plugs into the power supply.

dry solar Jul 29, 2019, 4:38 AM

been building pc's for a little while but everything seems right thats why im confused taken it all a part a few times now

nah its a i5

#

hasty delta Jul 29, 2019, 4:48 AM

#

usually either psu or something is shorted

#

I am guessing it only turns on for a second when you first plug it in and after that it does nothing and doesnt respond to the power button either.

dry solar Jul 29, 2019, 4:51 AM

#

well i dont have a powerr button connected

#

but yea

#

does that sound like a psu issue?

#

'i got my button connect and yea nah psu makes a noise but nothing happens

hasty delta Jul 29, 2019, 4:56 AM

#

motherboard could be shorted to the case or could be a power connector plugged into the wrong spot if you managed to force a cable in somehow. Maybe even just a cable not plugged in all the way, but less likely

#

but its some kind of power issue

#

most modern power supplies will do this to protect itself if something is shorted, or if something is messed up internally to protect your parts

dry solar Jul 29, 2019, 4:57 AM

#

ahhhh this is a nightmare

hasty delta Jul 29, 2019, 4:58 AM

#

sometimes depending on what psu you have its possible that you have the wrong end plugged into the power supply

#

I know corsairs have the same connector for both ends of the cpu power on some psu's but it should be wired the same no matter which way you plug it in.

dry solar Jul 29, 2019, 5:01 AM

#

i got a evga nex650 gold

#

i swapped the motherboard one around but still nothing

hasty delta Jul 29, 2019, 5:03 AM

#

they are all a little different. I have a few evga's a corsair and a rosewill hive. they all use different connectors.

#

usually if anything is off, its because someone managed to force a pcie connector into an 8 pin cpu power, or the 8 pin cpu power into the pcie power.

#

its not super hard to do since most connectors are hard to push in the first time anyway

dry solar Jul 29, 2019, 5:05 AM

#

i used my cpu 2 cable

#

and it started for a little longer but no fans started

#

honestly i think ill be up for a new psu

hasty delta Jul 29, 2019, 5:19 AM

#

just make sure that none of the cables that should be in the red are accidently in the green spots or vice versa. that would be the only thing other than a motherboard shorted to a case or a bad psu. Maybe make sure all your sata power plugs are removed just to rule out a bad sata device. .

@dry solar At a computer shop i worked at I worked on a computer that would not power on for more than a second because it had a bad RAM stick. I'd try taking all sticks out but one and try that. If it still does not work try it in a different slot. If that does not work try the other stick(s) in the same ways you tried the first stick.

scenic lance Jul 29, 2019, 6:48 PM

#

One of the EVGA T2's I bought used came with seasonic CPU power cables, reversed polarity. I have a few other seasonic PSU's so it was easy to notice the NE27 or something inscribed on the connector vs EVGA's marking.
Trying to start the pc with +12v wired short to common will just make the fan move slightly before the over-current protection kicks in and shuts it down.

scenic lance Jul 29, 2019, 7:12 PM

#

@unreal sinew Probably the PSU cooling fan. If it keeps happening which it probably will, you will either need a different power supply or an expert to change the fan. I say expert because you could get electrocuted working on the internals of a power supply if you don't know what you're doing.

I have the V200, got it on sale without thinking about the airflow. I bought some RGB fans 2 for top and one to replace back exhaust. with the 3 front intake which are kind of blocked how should I have the top 2 and back one in terms on intake/exhaust?

i know usually its front and bottum intake, back top exhaust just not sure if the 3 I add as exhaust would be too much if the 3 front lack intake?

Any real reason to get plat/titanium over gold? I'm looking at the Corsair RMx vs HX/AX (not the i's)

willow kiln Aug 11, 2019, 5:14 PM

#

@worldly rampart yes and no, I use plat, I used to use gold. there are percentage differences between efficiencies. on a long enough time scale then it technically equals less money on the energy bill (ie cheaper in the long run) but takes so long and is so negligible that if you aren't doing anything "work" related or mining you probably don't need to care. I appreciate the platinum's from a quality perspective but I think it's somewhat of a luxury past gold.

#

@hoary elbow about the PSU calc, regardless of the amount of power your computer uses, the efficiency is still going to be at that percentage. The PSU's power efficiency will be the same under load and idle independent of how many parts are installed and what their power draw are, because the efficiency is referring to how much "power" is lost between the wall/UPS and your computer parts.

worldly rampart Aug 12, 2019, 3:03 AM

#

The new cases have vertical gpu mounts, can't remember if they redesigned the cable management. Thermals should be the same.

#

Unless you're talking about the elite.

chilly herald Aug 12, 2019, 3:09 AM

Nope not talking about the elite

#

Is there anything else with it? And is it worth the extra 20$?

worldly rampart Aug 12, 2019, 5:12 AM

#

So, no vertical mount on the 510, sorry. The 710 has it. They swapped one of the USBs for a type c and switched to a combined headset jack. Other than that it looks like the same case.

#

I'd say probs not worth it unless you can't find MSRP on the h500.

Cooler Master Q500L Case Review: We Tried to Make It Good

We tried hard to make Cooler Master's Q500L case perform well, but we just couldn't pull it off. The Q500L is one of the worst thermal performers we've ever ...

hasty delta Aug 13, 2019, 3:50 PM

#

do you need short or slim. The g3 is slim, but not much shorter than most other small atx cases. The fan setup is very limiting, the gpu will sag unless you use the included gpu bracket, but the gpu bracket blocks all the sata ports on both of my motherboards I tried in it. Also you are forced to use an sfx power supply which will cost you somewhere in the $80-$100 range at the absolute minimum for an acceptable quality supply and even then its only going to be somewhere in the 400-450W range. The q500l is short but normal width. If you need something short, but have width to work with then something like the corsair air 540 would work, but its much more expensive than the other cases you were looking at.

#

oh and on the g3 because of the layout there is no options for cable management so you will have cables running everywhere. Most sfx power supplies come with very short cables because they assume you are building in a small case, so even if it had somewhere to hide the cables the cables are not going to be long enough to hide them.

#

I had some extensions left over from a kit I ordered and used them, and even then it just looks bad.

deep prism Aug 13, 2019, 5:11 PM

I just need a small case because I move it alot so I need something that's "portable" for atx motherboard

You don't need small for portable, just find something with handles, and watch yourself get swole at the same time

worldly rampart Aug 13, 2019, 7:13 PM

@deep prism Do you already have the mb? Full ATX is going to make it tough to find a really portable case.

On the other hand, there are some great ITX cases for portability.

So, I need to know, and I probably should have asked this before I bought the damn thing, but I have a TT V200 TG RGB case, and I bought (from newegg) the NZXT HUE 2 RGB Lighting Controller with the 4 LED strips. Am I going to be able to hook up the RGB fans and my TT RGB cooler to the HUE 2 controller and sync the RGB's? @loud arch ?

grand ether Aug 15, 2019, 5:33 AM

#

@loud arch

loud arch Aug 15, 2019, 7:06 PM

#

@scenic lance Hey Pete, the V200 has a built-in controller that works with only the fans that are preinstalled. Also, the HUE 2 only works with other HUE 2 RGB products, so our fans wouldn't be compatible. Hope this helps!

scenic lance Aug 15, 2019, 7:10 PM

#

I guess it is a good thing I am going for a solid color and not any rainbow effect

loud arch Aug 15, 2019, 7:17 PM

#

Another thing to note is manufacturer-specific hardware. The current trend with RGB is 5v motherboard compatibility. Newer motherboards have a 5v RGB header on them that allows 5v products (fans, AIO pumps, LED strips and more) to synchronize with that motherboard's rgb software. We call it ARGB, other manufacturers call it other things ASakashrug

Those 2 have insignificant differences in amperage. they are pretty much the same, minus the 1.7 amps on the 12v rail.

Says it's compatible with RM PSU's but the one I have is an RMx and I'm not sure if that will have a difference. Just being cautious since I've heard that it's bad to mix up wrong cables for PSUs

and the compatibility list on the corsair website doesn't list the RM650x but it does have the RM650

@teal plume So we are talking in the right chat I tagged you here. That case is actually really nice also look at the Lian Li O11 in white

Are you trying to go white case black parts or black case white parts or black/white case?

solar tundra Aug 19, 2019, 3:25 AM

#

Love the Lian LI cases

hasty delta Aug 19, 2019, 7:05 AM

#

The lian li 011 is a really nice case. bitspower also makes the front panel distribution block for that case which is really nice, but the pump it uses is a modified ddc pump known as the S1 which can connect directly to a pwm header on a motherboard. It has a considerably less flow than a ddc pump but has the same dimension's as a ddc and much better flow that a asetek aio pump. But due to the dimensions you can replace it with a ddc.

#

I believe in one video the guy had his Ryzen 5 1600 overclocked to like 4.2GHz and was getting 40c idle and 55c when gaming

scenic lance Aug 20, 2019, 10:18 PM

#

One thing I learned, mounting fans with their intake against a mesh or grill can make them louder.

#

I wouldn't recommend that AIO. What draws you to AIO vs air cooler? Aesthetics? or Performance

barren basin Aug 20, 2019, 10:19 PM

#

Well here this is what i am using now https://www.newegg.ca/deepcool-gammaxx-s40/p/N82E16835856026

#

i didn't pay that amount i paid like 25$ last year

#

On normal clocks i get roughly 33c to 37c on idle and when gaming i get about 50c also the thing is i want to overclock my processor as well so the air cooler i am using now might get a little too warm

#

I know that the 2600 can handle up to 95c but really i know it is not a good idea to really get it to that point

scenic lance Aug 20, 2019, 10:23 PM

#

You can get a bit more performance out of overclocking the 2600, but upgrading your current cooler won't bring much more. Not enough to justify the upgrade in itself.

#

If you want to upgrade the cooler for other reasons, like if you were to invest in a large high-end air cooler with performance similar to the Noctua D15, Dark Rock Pro 4, or any other equivalent in that class, for nearly silent operation and the capability to run a significant OC on a chip like the 9900k, go for it.

barren basin Aug 20, 2019, 10:27 PM

#

Well i want to upgrade to something affordable and that can cool down my CPU well enough when i would overclock it

scenic lance Aug 20, 2019, 10:35 PM

#

That would be my recommendation, but I don't want people to think they need a huge air cooler or AIO to overclock their 2600. Or that they even need to overclock a 2600 (it's not a great overclocker).

barren basin Aug 20, 2019, 10:37 PM

Oh ya for that case i showed i just noticed this on the other side which makes sense for the mounting area for the AIO https://c1.neweggimages.com/NeweggImage/ProductImageCompressAll1280/11-147-298_R01.jpg
