Should I get a noctua cpu cooler or just stick with my amd prism wraith cooler ?

snow spoke Dec 16, 2020, 2:58 AM

#

basically since that board doesn't have any 3.2 gen 2 usb headers, you won't be able to use the usb-c on the case

#

i think that there's adapters that turn 3.2 gen 2 into 3.0, but you'll be limited to 3.0 speeds

#

oh that was from an earlier discussion about some cables.... not the rog 850w psu...

dark badger Dec 16, 2020, 6:56 PM

#

850watt vs 750watt for a 5900 with a 3080. What’s y’all opinions, is it worth the 20 or so extra bucks? I’ve gotten about equal voicing for both sides.

#

Technically, a 750 works, but is it enough to escape random shutdowns?

floral hemlock Dec 16, 2020, 6:59 PM

#

I've been doing a 5800 with an over locked 3080 on a platinum 750. I haven't had problems, under load I draw about 500w.

I think technically 750 for me makes sense, but I kinda wish I got higher for upgradability and also so the fan doesn't turn on as often

How do I power 2x 3090s?

Hello, I have a 550W PSU rn and i7-4790k which eats up to 180W and then I'll buy 1660 super/ti card with ~120w, so in total up to 350W. The question is, do I need another PSU like a 650W+?

tender root Dec 16, 2020, 11:02 PM

#

you dont

hot wigeon Dec 16, 2020, 11:03 PM

#

@tender root on 12v+ line will it hold up?

tender root Dec 16, 2020, 11:04 PM

#

aye, should be fine

#

as long as it has the pci-e power cable needed for the GPU, then all should be well

#

the 1660 aint that hungry a card power wise

so what are some good cases to fit a 3090 rog strix

#

It’s a massive card

edgy tiger Dec 16, 2020, 11:35 PM

phanteks p600 is good

the rog 3090 is only 318.5 mm

even most mid towers can fit a 380mm card

might stick with 240mm+360mm rad depending on case price of 2x360mm

opal night Dec 18, 2020, 7:17 PM

I was gonna say, I don't think the 4000d will do dual 360mm rads at the same time

iirc it should

opal night Dec 18, 2020, 7:17 PM

No

#

Just grabbed a manual for

#

2x240mm

#

Or a 280+240

lofty pewter Dec 18, 2020, 7:22 PM

#

I realized two things. Firstly probs should not go just off of fan mounting cuz rads are bigger (as in 3x120mm fan area wont always fit 360mm rad), also that I cant math at all. I looked at top and thought that was 360mm cuz I counted three screw slots.... except that is 240/280mm.

The device will only draw as much power as it needs. Just because it can carry 22 amps doesn't mean it will. Amperage is a pull, not a push

this review is for a device to use SATA to power molex devices, not the other way around, and yes that can fry your shizz

young osprey Dec 19, 2020, 6:54 PM

#

carmine wyvern So I wouldn't need this right?

only if you have a device with molex power connectors on it. otherwise you don't need it

carmine wyvern Dec 19, 2020, 6:55 PM

#

And for the sata cable, I would generally only plug in one of them correct?

young osprey Dec 19, 2020, 6:55 PM

only as much as you need

carmine wyvern Dec 19, 2020, 6:56 PM

I can connect multiple things on the one cable?

young osprey Dec 19, 2020, 6:56 PM

usually it will have 2 or 3 sata plugs on it

Right okay

Would a Phanteks Eclipse P500 Air DRGB Case with a Phanteks SK 140 PWM Fan work without a fan controller or extra accessories with a ROG Strix B550-F MOBO?

Hey, I am looking for a midtower case for my new build, the only thing I'm worried about is my current dorm accumulates quite a bit of dust and I was wondering if that should be taken into consideration when purchasing my case...

If I need to buy a special type of case, or some special filter for the case I end up getting or whatever the case may be

daisy chain for pwm fans

so you can put multiple fans on one header

carmine wyvern But I don't know where to plug this to the motherboard

those ends don't go into MB. other fans plug into those

#

whats on the other end

#

?

carmine wyvern Dec 19, 2020, 9:02 PM

#

There is one open one at the end since I have only two fans

#

The other end goes to the front panel

#

Where the power button is

#

Is the daisy chain necessary?

#

Can't I disconnect both fans from it and connect it to the motherboard?

what about the the o11 dynamic?

elfin trout Dec 20, 2020, 11:58 PM

#

Easiest way to describe o11 is overused

#

It's just decent in all regards

#

But you need to fill it up with fans for good perf

Oh and it can't fit a good air cooler

That kills it for me

But thanks for helping!

tender root Dec 21, 2020, 4:05 PM

#

again, that is the "type" you want to start searching for @weak elbow

#

and the problem/challenge with the 10" width, is the "weight" it puts on the side furthest away from the single pole that mounts to the desk, hence why, the "normal" solution is 2 L brackets, one from each side (if you need to mount something that is very wide to the underside of a desk @weak elbow

weak elbow Dec 21, 2020, 4:07 PM

If you want REALLY portable, which probably isn't gonna happen with a HEDT platform, ITX

hazy star Dec 21, 2020, 11:22 PM

3080 would be too big or the case would be too large?

elfin trout Dec 21, 2020, 11:23 PM

3080 size depends on the specific card

they're generally quite large but some are on the slimmer side

Hey. Question about garbage cases. I was planning on using a junk Dell case that I salvaged. The only thing that bothers me about it is that the plate that is built in has the raised built in dimple standoffs. Is that something that I should be concerned about? is that enough of an issue where I should buy a $25 case to avoid it?

#

on the latch side of the ATX connector, the green and black wire, specifically the ps_on and any com connector are what you want to connect. (keep in mind, IF its a OEM psu, its prudent to make certain that the pinout is NOT custom)

CXM way worse than CX

#

CXM uses two designs (for the modern ones). 450-650 uses a CWT codename "Santana", whereas 750-850 uses PUQ-B. These are decent, but they are low end double forward platforms
Another difference between these units--more at a specification level--no OTP on prior 2015 versions, OTP set too high on newer CXM version to where the capacitors can degrade, sleeve bearing fan, and also has the same issues as CV with high-transient/peak power GPUs, making it not favorable to any Big Navi, Ampere, or video cards of the like.

This list is garbage

#

G3 lacks good OCP and OTP is set too high. Even if you don't need OCP on 750w, the unit can still fail and kick the rest of your system. Even the OPP moves out of ATX specs before triggering. It's a shame a good unit otherwise has lacking protections.
OTP is set very high, since they had to apply a huge thermal load on the secondary side to trigger it. The bulk cap's external casing nearly melted during the OTP evaluation.
They didn't even get any OCP results because the unit died during the OPP test,

#

So good job pairing that with ampere

#

also the same issue is with PC Power & Cooling Silencer 1050, OTP set way too high

#

Half of the PSU's in that list should not even be there

#

all they have done is picked some flabby high end psu's and then added the rest based off of the users in the comments saying they work

#

also Seasonic Focus FM/FX has shown with with vega, 970 strix, 1080 ti and 2080 ti

#

and it's still in that list

#

also G+ is built off similar to the GQ platform, is not good at all for its price (OTP could be hit or miss depending on wattage of unit). When crossloading the 5v, it moves to 2% tolerance (whereas similarily price units stay below 1%), ripple crossload on the minor rails is atrocious for the price, it gets hot around 70c+, we fail both 5v and 3.3v transient tests

#

pre January 2018 G2 has shown issues with vega, 970 strix, 1080 ti and 2080 ti and is on that list

I'd prob get something else

I like the lian li pc-011dw

#

I haven't built in it though, so I don't know how easy it is
