[split saffron]

how about PSU?

i need to change ?

[fierce pivot]

Yeah oof Just sell old kit, and your psu probs fine

Btw @split saffron get this

[split saffron]

thank you

[fierce pivot]

Np

[hollow harbor]

whats the difference between an ATX full and an ATX mid tower

they look the same to me

[sand atlas]

Full towers usually have room and standoffs for up to extended ATX boards

[hollow harbor]

ohh okay

whats a good case

i have a atx motherboard

[sand atlas]

Personally, I like the fractal design meshify c, and the meshify 2 if you want room for bigger coolers

By bigger I mean something like this https://www.techtoyreviews.com/arctic-liquid-freezer-ii-420-cpu-aio-water-cooler-with-420mm-radiator/

Just whatever you do, don't get a case like the H510 that has a solid front panel

[fierce pivot]

Corsair 4000d airflow is v nice imo

[open adder]

Yeah im using corsair 4000d airflow its great for temps and cheap too

[opaque axle]

is anyone currently using a 4000D airflow with a top mounted radiator? I want to switch cases but I want to be sure about ram clearance

[open quartz]

depends on the size of the rad and what ram youre using. a 280 rad youll want some more room and have some more lower profile kind of sticks. if its a 240 you should be fine unless theyre some really high sticks of ram

this is a 280mm with tridentz that barely fit

[opaque axle]

Alright, what I have right now is team group dark z which is kinda tall

[open quartz]

if yorue using something like corsair vengeance or dominators, thatll be a problem for 280mm and possible a 240 since for whatever reason most corsair ram just doesnt like to work in corsair cases or corsair aio's

[opaque axle]

Oof

I have a 275R airflow right now and my ram interferes with a top 240mm

[open quartz]

found a build that actually uses a 240 rad and it works fine with corsair vengeance rgb ram

so you should be fine unless those dark z's are taller than corsair vengeance for whatever reason

be surprised if they are

[opaque axle]

They’re tallest at the corners which is awkward

[open quartz]

looked up the height, they should fit

theyre shorter than corsair vengeance rgb ram

[opaque axle]

Well that’s good

And bodes well for if I want to go even harder on Corsair theming, lol

[open quartz]

weird pic and bad angle but theres a decent amount of space considering theyre vengeance rgb pros which are notorious for being tall so if they fit, yours will/should fit

Good deal?

[opal night]

Not bad

[cunning dragon]

Thought so but wanted to be sure. They're running out of stock rn.

[summer gorge]

I might pick one of those up

only $300

[open adder]

@opaque axle im using 280mm top one and i couldnt fit a rgb ram in there so went with non rgb

[cunning dragon]

I'd get em while they're hot cause there's only 4 in stock now.

[opaque axle]

alright, I want to put a 240mm rad in the top position so I think I'd be mostly okay

[open adder]

Yeah 240mm you will be good for sure

I just wanted to go with 280 for extra cooling but 240 will do good too

[jagged scarab]

what psu would y'all recommend?

[elfin trout]

For what system

[jagged scarab]

for my gaming pc

I just saw I have a 500 watt one and would like to upgrade it.

https://www.newegg.com/super-flower-leadex-iii-sf-650f14hg-650w/p/1HU-024C-00007

I saw this one but not sure if its a good deal

[opal night]

A bit overpriced. Segotep 650W is more than enough

[jagged scarab]

From amazon?

[fierce pivot]

Yeah you can get the segotep on Amazon

[opal night]

This one https://www.amazon.com/Segotep-Supply-Certified-Gaming-Fully-Modular/dp/B0832F6NS8

[candid lark]

Hey I have questions my psu smart zero fan should I turn on or off

[sand atlas]

I let my PSU use its "eco mode" where the fan turns off when it's not needed. Sometimes that will affect things negatively but it's pretty rare.

[candid lark]

I don't have eco mode

Mine 1200w thermaltake rgb smart zero fan so just leave it ?

[sand atlas]

Yeah I'd leave it on

[jagged scarab]

Thank you

Is it worth going up to 750 watts ?

[opal night]

For what GPU or system?

650 will handle a 3070 no problem

750 is for 3080 or better

[edgy tiger]

Well dont say that

Bc you def want a 750+ for a 980ti

750+ for a 690

And that’s not “better” just higher teir for the gen

[lofty pewter]

980Ti had meh average and transient power loads

Could run off a 550w if CPU wasnt HEDT

[edgy tiger]

Well def 750+ for a 690

You get my point

And i use a xeon testbench so

Kinda hedt

[serene mantle]

Okay but u won’t get good than this its the best price 🤩🙂

[fallow cairn]

modular version has no reviews

don't recommend

[elfin trout]

what

@fallow cairn it's the modular version that has all the reviews

sg-g doesn't have many reviews

gp-g does

but luke said sg-g was the same platform as gp-g

[fallow cairn]

SG-G is the same as GP-G

[elfin trout]

Ye

[fallow cairn]

different naming schemes

[elfin trout]

basically same

few internal differences that doesn't really change the platform

[fallow cairn]

all the reviews I see have the non-modular version

[elfin trout]

what

[fallow cairn]

[fallow cairn]

how is that the modular version

it even says it in the review

does not have a modular architecture

[elfin trout]

why the hell

does it say sg-g on the unit

[fallow cairn]

all the reviews you sent me are non-modular units

[elfin trout]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[fallow cairn]

https://lab501.ro/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/1-768x481.jpg

[elfin trout]

meant to say not*

but yea

hm

this is on the modular one, but yea
https://detail.zol.com.cn/picture_index_1645/index16441584_0_p403680.shtml#/&pn=43

this is too
http://www.pcpop.com/article/1123226_all.shtml

[fallow cairn]

oh that pcpop is a new one

the other one isn't loading for me

[elfin trout]

it's images of the internals of the unit

[serene mantle]

Its fully modular and 80+gold

[fallow cairn]

wait

that's not the SG-G or GP-G @elfin trout

those internals are of the SG-P

[serene mantle]

@elfin trout can u suggest me a motherboard which is good than msi z390a pro under 140$

[serene mantle]

And which is shipped by international shipping service

[serene mantle]

Its good u can buy this n also its cheap

[elfin trout]

wat

[fallow cairn]

GP-P/SG-P

Not GP-G/SG-G

[elfin trout]

segotep what the hell

also what

[fallow cairn]

Ik that's why I told u

[elfin trout]

am I blind

dunno

[fallow cairn]

SG-G and GP-G r the same thing

[elfin trout]

Yes

[fallow cairn]

wait wtf lmao

[serene mantle]

Shall i buy that now or no?? Segotep one

[elfin trout]

gp-p might even be better than gp-g

confusing

[fallow cairn]

google translate converts gp-p to gp-g

[elfin trout]

but the pcpop is solely on the modular gp-g

lmao

[fallow cairn]

[elfin trout]

uh

[fallow cairn]

yo wtf r we looking at the same review

[elfin trout]

I DONT EVEN KNOW

xd

[fallow cairn]

[elfin trout]

segotep needs to

fix their naming

[fallow cairn]

yeppers

[serene mantle]

So now shall i buy it?

[elfin trout]

should be good still

pcpop review still valid

[serene mantle]

😋

Can anyone suggest me a good motherboard than msi z390a pro under 140$? For i7-9700k

[elfin trout]

probably none of the others are <140$ atm

[serene mantle]

suggest one which is shipped by international shipping service bcz some r shipped by Marketplace Direct delivery which takes delivery pricd

So there r no good motherboard than msi z390a pro under 140$?

[elfin trout]

They're usually ~150$ for zxxx boards

[serene mantle]

Ok no problem show me

The best under 150$

[fallow cairn]

Do u even live in the US

[elfin trout]

they don't

maybe this boi
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07HMG1XP7

or this
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07HCT5GBD

[serene mantle]

These 2 r good than msi z390a pro?

[serene mantle]

No i dont

Check this out on @Newegg: ASRock Z390 STEEL LEGEND LGA 1151 (300 Series) Intel Z390 SATA 6Gb/s ATX Intel Motherboard

[real vessel]

Hello I built a PC a little while back and just went with a budget case ( Compucase HEC HX310 ) and I am having issues with heat. I have been advised to replace the case with one with better airflow and I was hoping to get some suggestions or advice. I have a gigabyte Z390 UD motherboard and a Coolermaster 500W power supply. I was looking at the SilverStone Redline Series SST-RL06WS-PRO because of a case review but I wanted to be sure before I bought something i regretted. TIA.

[summer gorge]

whats your budget?

@real vessel

[real vessel]

I would like to stay around $150 or less if possible, but if it makes sense to spend more than I am not opposed.

[summer gorge]

oh thats a great amount

you could get a P500a or P500a digital for that money

I personally like the P500a digital because it comes with quite a few extra fans

all RGB too

@real vessel

[real vessel]

Oh nice. My main concern is keeping things cool and healthy, but the features are nice too. Thank you.

what are the fans on this case

[summer gorge]

something something Coolermaster probably

[snow spoke]

they're gp-12's iirc

[normal goblet]

like how many and how big they are

[summer gorge]

120mm

probs two

[snow spoke]

yeah two

[normal goblet]

ok

[snow spoke]

one in the front and one in the back

[summer gorge]

one at top exhaust, one rear exhaust

or in front ig

[snow spoke]

how big of a case were you looking for?

[normal goblet]

mid tower

or smaller

[snow spoke]

and you wanted expansion for liquid cooling, correct?

[normal goblet]

would be nice

but air cooling is more than fine

[snow spoke]

p500a, 5000d airflow and meshify 2 have nice expansion

[normal goblet]

meshify 2 like this one a lot

[summer gorge]

P500a bae

[snow spoke]

if you just want air cooling then a 4000d airflow, p400a, meshify c, meshify 2 compact, and 275r airflow

[normal goblet]

im getting a meshfy

it looks great and clean

[snow spoke]

they do look clean tbh

[normal edge]

will the 011d do fine wuth airflow until i get my wc

[summer gorge]

no

[snow spoke]

unless you have 9 fans

[summer gorge]

011d is a water cooling case

cucked airflow

[normal edge]

ik, i plan to wc. just not right at the beginning

[summer gorge]

ah thats what that acronym means

it should do fine for a bit

[normal edge]

well im getting the 011d xl

rog edition

[summer gorge]

coughs in Razer Edition

[normal edge]

I actually wanted a corsair case

but i dont really like their new ones

[open adder]

4000d airflow/4000x are looking good and good cases

[sand atlas]

Yes the txm is A tier

[dawn matrix]

dayum ok, its pretty cheap in canada rn

[normal edge]

what psu is that?

[normal edge]

I like corsair stuff mostly, i have their headset/mouse/keyboard

[dawn matrix]

its a corsair

[opal pendant]

4000D Airflow more than the 4000X tho

[open adder]

Yeah i know its better im using it but some people like the glass in the front and the 4000x still has some air coming from the edges of the glass

[opal pendant]

also isn't it like $130?

[scenic lance]

Thoughts on Lian Li 215?

[open adder]

It is comming with 3 rgb front fans and build in fan hub

So it is worth the extra 30 for people that like the glass

[open adder]

I think its decet cheap and has good airflow

[scenic lance]

Yeah I think it’s a great budget case 🙂

[open adder]

https://www.gamersnexus.net/hwreviews/3621-lian-li-lancool-215-airflow-case-review

[scenic lance]

I might get it for my first build. But I dunno if I should put in extra money and just get a p500a digital

[open adder]

It is a great case too

[scenic lance]

The only think I don’t like about the 215 is that the holes for the cables are far from the mobo on the right side

Also doesn’t have a hole for the gpu cable on the psu shroud

[open adder]

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=G835LGHpeoI

Check this and you can see what you like the most

[scenic lance]

Thanks 🙂

[open adder]

Np

[scenic lance]

I did some research already. I really like both. But just can’t decide if I want to spend more hehe

[opal pendant]

well the P400a is $40 less and better airflow so yeah aesthetics ig

[scenic lance]

p400a is way smaller

[normal edge]

what was the good corsair series gpu

[sand atlas]

They did a 1080 and 1080ti with water blocks if that's what you mean

[normal edge]

psu lol

my bad

looking for a full modular

[summer gorge]

full modular not needed

semi best IMO

[elfin trout]

@normal edge what wattage, what budget?

And meh, all of them mean nothing in terms of quality

Good old stuff them in the back if the non-mod wires bother you

[normal edge]

Well im going to be doing Asus x570 F-gaming with a 5900x and either a 3080 or 6800xt. 32 gb ram

and plan on adding water cooling

[summer gorge]

curiosity: why X570-F?

[fierce pivot]

Mb they just want the extra room on chipset lots of m.2 drives?

[summer gorge]

how many m.2 ports on that thing?

[normal edge]

Dual pcie 4.0x4

[summer gorge]

isnt that the same as most high end X570 boards?

pretty sure thats how my X570 TUF (arguably the best X570 board) works

[normal edge]

Im guessing,and I also personally like the board

[summer gorge]

thats fine

the X570-F is still a great board

I personally prefer every extra inch of performance, so I like the X570 TUF

[normal edge]

what performance does the Tuf have over the F

[summer gorge]

slightly better VRMs and thermal performance, mostly

I believe the PCIe bus is slightly faster as well but I would have to check that

hey @opal night , what was the name of that one overclocking website?

[normal edge]

which Tuf board you have

the gaming or pro

[summer gorge]

gaming

only thing the Pro really offers is a flashback button

[normal edge]

Im probably gonna stick with the f

suits my style/build design better

[summer gorge]

thats fine

not everyone needs every last drop of performance

[normal edge]

the case i wanted sokd out

😅

[summer gorge]

which one?

[normal edge]

if im doing wc, will an 850 be sufficient

olld xl rog

silver

[summer gorge]

gronsk

get the Razer one

its better

[normal edge]

How so

[summer gorge]

looks better

[normal edge]

They have a razor edition in the xl?

[summer gorge]

I believe so

[opal pendant]

P400a is big enough for a majority of builds tho. i've seen too many people getting the O11 for their 3600 and RTX 2060 and then blowing $600 on 9 LL120's and an NZXT Z73

[opaque axle]

nobody buys an 011 for the performance and space efficiency

they buy it because it's pretty and you can see all 9 of those fans

[teal flare]

and then they make all the fans exhaust

[snow spoke]

^ fr bruh smh

[normal edge]

isnt that how a negative pressure case is supposed to work?

[snow spoke]

negative pressure is bad

forces air in through holes that don't have filters or anything = dust

i hope those people on instagram fix their fans after they take their pics, if not then smh

[scenic lance]

Ql120

Lets you have pretty build but no stinky neg pressure

[snow spoke]

they've evolved though

uni fans are swagger

[scenic lance]

Unifans are overpriced for how they perform

So are ll120 and ql120

[snow spoke]

rgb fans are either good but expensive or trash and cheap, there's barely any in between tbh

[normal edge]

you get what you pay for

is the 011d stock setup neg pressure

or are they making it neg

[snow spoke]

What do you mean?

[wanton briar]

It does not come with fans

[opal pendant]

i mean there's no stock fans so

[normal edge]

the 011d, does it come configured with fans as negative pressure

ok

[opal pendant]

supposedly the best setup is bottom and side intakes, top exhaust so positive pressure

[normal edge]

so people are just doing it because they want the fans to sit on top of the rad

and blow out

[opal pendant]

yeah some people are dumb and want the fans front facing all over the case, and then make it all exhaust smh

for ✨a e s t h e t i c✨

[normal edge]

i assume rear is exhust as well

[opal pendant]

rear is only on the XL

oh and the Mini

the original O11D doesn't have a back exhaust tho

[normal edge]

the xl is the one i want

[opal pendant]

bro why, it's huge

[normal edge]

i got room

[opal pendant]

lots of empty space for a majority of setups

[normal edge]

so why not

[opal pendant]

and it's like $200 no?

[normal edge]

not concerned

i just want it to look good and clean

[opal pendant]

i mean it's your money and all, but imo there are better cases

O11D is so overrated

[normal edge]

i was gonna go with the corsair 4000

but im not sure i like how it looks

[opal pendant]

4000D Airflow is good yeah. 4000X is meh but not horrible

it's a standard case sure. O11D has wack airflow but its meant for multiple rads so makes sense

[normal edge]

plus i inted to do a custom loop

[opal pendant]

like a bottom to up but also side

[scenic lance]

4000D airflow POG

[opal pendant]

hmm u sure? they're costly

[normal edge]

so air cool is not my priority

[scenic lance]

O11D is good for liquid cooling

but air cooling

also very overused.

[opal pendant]

and soft tubing or hard tubing?

[normal edge]

hard

[opal pendant]

damn bro do u even know anything about custom loops?

hard tubing takes a lot of setup and prep

[normal edge]

meh

ive delt with worse

[opal pendant]

not for a beginner

[normal edge]

try 3000psi stainless tubing

[minor portal]

ALL'EYEZ ON'ME#3908 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[opal pendant]

hmm

[normal edge]

oops

forgot

crap your pants

[opal pendant]

i wish u luck. ur definitely gonna need it for a hard tubing custom loop

[normal edge]

lol

i worked in aerospace and have had to deal with 3000psi test setups

for aircraft units

everything was custom

only thing i might have trouble with is getting use to bending the tube

[opal pendant]

not entirely sure if the two are similar, but if u feel confident, then sure. just do ur research ig

[opal pendant]

with heat right?

[scenic lance]

probably will just need to heat it up

and bend it

make it softer with heat.

then it can properly attach to fittings

[normal edge]

you have to have something to insert into the tube

[opal pendant]

i think there are tools for bending it exactly 90 degrees

[normal edge]

to keep it from collapsing

heat and bend

i got a 3d printer

if i have to, ill design something

might not be perfect, but better than nothing

stainless was easy, use a tubing bender

ive actually thought about using stainless, if the thread types match

[scenic lance]

O11d xl is dumb unless you have multiple GPU and or watercooling

airflow looks atrocious.

[normal edge]

thats 2 different cases

[scenic lance]

Hold on

wrong case pic

[normal edge]

i plan on watercooling

[scenic lance]

lol, can't even find pictures of top vents, only side vents

[scenic lance]

still oof airflow

and overused. Feel like its similar to the h510

Just how much its overused.

[normal edge]

maybe its just me, but im not a fan of most of the current designs

[trail jolt]

the 011D performs very well with airflow, it just takes a good number of fans to fill it up.

[scenic lance]

More fans does not always equal greater air flow kek.

Thats like saying I can max out the h510 with 20 fans will have better airflow, not if the air has a choke point. I want to see someone try that

[normal edge]

my current case is a coolermaster mastercaser maker 5

from 5ish years ago lol

[opaque axle]

that was already done with the h500

showed that adding intake fans didn't improve temps

[trail jolt]

maybe very well is saying too much but you can watch a review. https://youtu.be/YmYcKg0x4bw

[scenic lance]

oof so its basically like an evolv x

probably expensive.

[opaque axle]

it's big and it's pretty and that's the point

[scenic lance]

pretty much/

Spending more time looking at your parts then actually using the computer

[opaque axle]

or equal parts, who cares

[normal edge]

now i gotta figure out what psu i want

[normal goblet]

Will a noctua nh d15 fit in a meshfiy 2 compact?

[zinc flume]

Fractal says it is compatible with up to 169mm high coolers and the d15 is 165, should fit

[normal goblet]

Whew

[zinc flume]

@normal goblet just remembering you may have to move the fan up on the d15 to clear your RAM. I bet you'll be ok, but you should look up nh-d15 ram clearance and your ram specs. If you have to lift your fan you may have an issue mounting the second one

[normal goblet]

Ok lemme check the clearance it’s like 32mn right for Mac ram height

[zinc flume]

Each RAM module is different, iirc the d15 provides 35mm of clearance without moving the fan up, but I recommend checking the spec against your ram

[scenic lance]

DH15 is big brain

iirc it has a clip to adjust for any size ram

up to 64mm in single fan mode

[scenic lance]

Heyy I’m looking for brands for PSU Extension Cables? Which one are good that I can find in Canada? And preferably the budget ones 😬

[austere sky]

I know asiahorse is fine

I think they're on amazon

[fierce pivot]

Will a 6700xt run on 600w psu? 600w is what i have atm and wondering if i manage to get a 6700xt will i have to upgrade

[lethal ridge]

its tdp is like, 230w max near 2080 wattage, so 650 minimum ig

[fierce pivot]

Damm really? Cuz I'm only running it with ryzen 5, put into pc part picker with a 6800 and it said the wattage would be around 435w

[opal night]

AMD says 650W

You MIGHT be able to use a 600 watt if it's a good quality one

Don't trust PCPP wattage, that's only base clocks.

[fierce pivot]

Ahh okay the power spikes would be too much then :/

[opal night]

Possibly, peak power draw was just over 300W

[fierce pivot]

I see, just gamers nexus's results said about 230 or 260

[normal goblet]

Wait how do you measure ram where do you start?

[zinc flume]

The manufacturer should list the height of the module

[snow spoke]

or you can measure the height yourself

[snow spoke]

i have a teacher named ms brauer lol

[zinc flume]

No relation 😆

[snow spoke]

smh

are you french or sum

[normal goblet]

Err I have dell ram lol

So they don’t give ram for that

Ram Height

Is not available

[snow spoke]

measure it yourself then

[normal goblet]

Ok

[normal goblet]

My ram is 30 mm oh god

[zinc flume]

30mm should give you more than enough room

The d15 has 35mm clearance default iirc and you could even lift the fan a bit I think

[elfin trout]

I thought it was 42 at normal full height

32mm according to Noctua schematic

[scenic lance]

Doesn't one of them use a clip?

there is a big brain noctua cooler

where you can raise the clip to any height

[snow spoke]

the one on the front can be raised iirc

[zinc flume]

Ah 32, I was thinking 35 for some reason. Both use a clip and I think both can be raised, but there isn't a good reason to raise the middle one

[snow spoke]

to make it look even prob

[elfin trout]

Both can be raised

SAMA Sama-3D Black Steel / Tempered Glass ATX Mid Tower Computer Case Computer Cases - Newegg.com

https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16811197007

Is that a good deal?

[scenic lance]

Never heard of it.

[barren sparrow]

Same friend says it’s good

[barren sparrow]

Same

[chrome iris]

its normally that price iirc, and the fans are static, not RGB, which sucks

[barren sparrow]

Ty I kinda don’t care for aesthetics as much as I do performance it’s usually the same price as the h510 and it comes with a mesh front panel and 3 fans all I need to do is buy like 2 fans for exhaust and I’d be good

[chrome iris]

probably dont even need exhaust

@barren sparrow watch this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xpz7YfGxS70

[barren sparrow]

Thx

[scenic lance]

can someone help me find a case

[sand atlas]

You'll need to be more specific. What size? What budget? What other features?

[opal pendant]

like the man said, what kind of motherboard are you getting and how much are you willing to spend on just the case (or the whole PC)

[scenic lance]

well i dont want to go overboard w a case just one thats gonna have good airflow @opal pendant and idk what mobo to get either

[opal pendant]

well for ATX cases, there's the Neo Air, P360a, NR600, and LANCOOL 215 all for $80 or less. for mATX, there's the MB311 and NR400. depending on how big your motherboard is

but i'd figure out the rest of your system before looking at cases

[digital wasp]

Corsair icue 4000x good?

[snow spoke]

it's good if you want airflow and rgb

i'd rather recommend the p500a digital, it's about the same price iirc

[scenic lance]

what fan headers are on the p400a digital?

how many fans does it support?

[sand atlas]

The digital version includes 3 fans with an aRGB controller that connects to a single 3 pin header. The fans will have to be powered by either the motherboard or a separate fan controller.

[unique pilot]

3 pin 5v header not 12v

12v is 4 pin

[hidden thicket]

Any one got any ideas for a similar cases to the NZXT 510i but with better airflow? Simple design basically.

[fierce pivot]

I think corsair 4000/4000 airflow looks nice but if you want something that looks similar i believe there's a deep cool one that looks similar

[wanton briar]

Lian Li 205

Fractal Design Define 7 Compact

Deepcool Macube

[fierce pivot]

That's the one i was thinking of couldn't remember name lol

[hidden thicket]

My wife has this one currently. Not a massive fan of it. However. I haven't seen that Lian Li 205 👀 ngl looking pretty good

IF I can find the Mesh version >.<

They have it in stock at my Microcenter!

any suggestions for a SSD side mount

[elfin trout]

as in, a case with side mountable SSDs..?

[polar seal]

i have a case but also need a ssd sidemount which appears it doesn't come with one https://www.coolermaster.com/catalog/cases/mid-tower/masterbox-mb511/

[elfin trout]

hm

[polar seal]

unless i just screw it into the side?

[opal night]

Yeah

Check the manual

https://coolermaster.egnyte.com/dl/pJiOv2ubva/?

[elfin trout]

ah yes I forgot the manual was blocked for me

[elfin trout]

yay

[opal night]

Comes with mounts you screw in there

just remember

DO IT BEFORE YOU INSTALL THE MOTHERBOARD lol

cuz MB covers them

[polar seal]

they really could have better designed that if your adding a ssd later..

[opal night]

Yeah

I wonder if the tray in the 3rd pic could fit there?

[polar seal]

Looks like another mount on PSU area

[opal night]

Yeah, that one has a tray

See the pic from the manual

[scenic lance]

Is the Corsair SF750 platinum enough for 5950x 4.7ghz oc and a rtx 3090 strix oc stock?

[fierce pivot]

I'd recommend a 850w

[scenic lance]

Yeah but there isn‘t any quality Sff Psu

With 850w

Optimum tech released a video where he powered a 3950x and a 3090 with this Corsair sf750

[opal night]

You're going to oc the 5950x tho

[scenic lance]

Yeah

I saw reviews about the 5950x sucking 300 watts at peak on 4,7ghz

[opal night]

IDK about 300, that's probably full system. More like 150W or so with stock boost clocks

[scenic lance]

Okay that's efficient, but I think that the Corsair SF750 should be sufficient

I'm not going to overclock the 3090

[fierce pivot]

If you don't already have the psu buying a psu with some head room will save you from having to buy a new one when you upgrade your system if the power requirements go up again

[opal night]

The problem is, power transients on the 3090 can hit north of 500W. SFF PSU's don't have the best protections so there's a decent chance you'll trip the protections.

[scenic lance]

hmm

[lethal ridge]

is matrexx 55 4f rgb a good pick?

it's $85

[opal night]

Seems like a decent case

Mesh front

etc

[unique pilot]

sf750 has full protections and would be perfectly capable of handling a 3090

https://www.tomshardware.com/uk/reviews/corsair-sf750-psu,5979-3.html

OPP is set at 967.3W

so no chance of tripping there

[astral grail]

Anyone know where u can get replacement front IO and rear pannel for a NZXR H500i

[frosty basin]

is Corsair just trying to get me to buy cables? the SF series ATX are so short...

[snow spoke]

i mean

in a sff build, you wouldn't want any extra cables just hanging around

[scenic lance]

Okay thanks guys @opal night @unique pilot @fierce pivot

[fierce pivot]

np

[scenic lance]

and @snow spoke

[snow spoke]

yw

[fallow cairn]

actually it can't

Not enough capacitance in the secondary side

[unique pilot]

Interesting nice one for the info

[scenic lance]

I will test it when my case and the sf750 arrive.

I mean if it shuts down, I will undervolt the 3090

Why aren't any qualtity 850 sff psu's in the market? That's some bull....!

[fierce pivot]

There are there's just a psu shortage cuz of mining

[scenic lance]

Yeah I just saw the CoolerMaster V850 SFX Gold psu

[lofty pewter]

okay but what 3090? 3090 PLs range from 350w - 500w with transients being even higher (esp EVGA cuz dumb VRM design)

That should've been stated within that post. Otherwise isnt really a good post to go by

for all we know it's a 3090 with modded BIOS and having a 650w average load on it

[scenic lance]

[fallow cairn]

I mean it is the Corsair's head of psu r&d, if anything he knows what he's talking about, he was also likely referring to the Founder's Edition

[lofty pewter]

Many issues come from assumptions. There is a good assumption that it isnt some 650w BIOS modded 3090, but there really isnt much for making a good assumption of it being any of the standard models that range in 350w - 500w

Could've just said 3090s in general to not deal with PR issues that may just be caused by the high PL 3090s, less complicated statements make it easier to defend. Tho if it's only high PL 3090s then that's an issue that 99.99% of the time wont happen with a SFF PSU.

[scenic lance]

Hey guys, I’m looking for a budget 550 watt psu for 3600 + 1660 super. Any recommendations?

Im going for 550 instead of 450 for some headroom

Unless 450 is enough? 😬

[stable tusk]

I currently have an open box 500W evga 80+ bronze psu if you want it haha

[lethal ridge]

hmmmm

[stable tusk]

I'm sure 450 is enough. I can run a 1070 and an i7 6700k on 500w

[lethal ridge]

seasonic core gc/gm 550

or segotep gp700g 600w

or cooler master mwe gold 550

[scenic lance]

Mwe is probably cheapest of the the options

[lethal ridge]

segotep gp700g iirc was 90 last time i saw it on pcpp

[stable tusk]

[scenic lance]

Im from Canada btw

[stable tusk]

ohh

[scenic lance]

So its more expensive here

[stable tusk]

that is $65 CAD

Mwe is 80+ white? Is white even good?

[lethal ridge]

nop

only mwe gold i can opt that's not cheaped out

[stable tusk]

Oh okay

[lethal ridge]

mwe white and bronze with 230v is poop

[scenic lance]

Mwe gold seems like the cheapest option atm $99 cad

Should opt for 450 gold?

Is there even a 450 gold

[lethal ridge]

hmmmm i think no

iirc most gold rated psu only goes 500w minimum

just from what i've seen

[scenic lance]

Yeaah it looks like it

Looking like 550 mwe gold is cheapest option here in Canada atm

[scenic lance]

Power consumption statistics

[stray berry]

what would be the best wattage psu for a 10700f and a 1080

[elfin trout]

650w will do

[small matrix]

Anyone have a suggestion on a mid white colored ATX case that will fit a large GPU and a Celsius S36 that comes with RGB somewhere in the 100-130$ range with good airflow?

[elfin trout]

@small matrix try TD500 mesh white

Should be 100$

There's also lancool ii mesh that should also be 100$

[small matrix]

Nice thx

Was also looking at the 500A by phanteks

[opal night]

I can highly recommend that case

So nice to build in, tons of room, excellent airflow and fantastic cable management

[small matrix]

Nice I think that ones the winner so far

[stray berry]

will a 600w be ok?

[opal night]

[north spade]

What Phantteks case is that?

[opal night]

P500A with the vert GPU mount

Just regular P500A, not Digital

I think it's around $100 still

[north spade]

NIce! Looking to upgrade my build and was looking for a new case

[opal night]

Man, one of the nicest cases I've built in

Especially for $100

Not a lot of room for hard drives though

[north spade]

I went and bought a prebuilt for a starter and want to build my own now

[wind herald]

I dont have a p500a but i do have the evolv x which has a similar interior and can also say cable management is great in phanteks cases.

Anyone know how easy swapping out cable combs on psu extensions is? I want to get black extensions and silver combs without paying the ridiculous prices cablemod has.

[north spade]

I bought a set from Asia Horse. Not sure if they have silver but it was easy to set the combs on them

[stray berry]

anyone?

[sand atlas]

[stray berry]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/DmWrxr/evga-bq-600w-80-bronze-certified-semi-modular-atx-power-supply-110-bq-0600-k1

for a 10700 and a 1080

and will it be ok if i remove the power limit of the cpu

cause i can affird a better one if you can suggest one

[sand atlas]

10700k or regular

[stray berry]

[sand atlas]

600 should be enough but not a lot of overhead for overclocking

Can always upgrade if i experience problems i guess

I wanna get Lian Li Lancool 215 but I keep doubting myself 😕

[snow spoke]

why?

[scenic lance]

Hmm 🤔 mainly the fanhub isn’t that great.

But then again it’s a budget case. I’m just doubting 🙇🏽‍♂️

[modern arrow]

can someone help me on choosing a correct power supply?

[elfin trout]

@modern arrow What's the rest of the build?

[barren sparrow]

what are your other components?

send ur part picker

[modern arrow]

oh ok

cause i needa upgrade my psu lol

[elfin trout]

Why do you need to upgrade your PSU?

[modern arrow]

old

[elfin trout]

Either way give part list of full system

[modern arrow]

https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/Ck8Xqp

this is everything without the psu

[elfin trout]

Do you own all of the rest of it?

[modern arrow]

yes

[elfin trout]

Let's see, Corsair CX, CX-F, TX-M, Phanteks Amp, XPG Core Reactor, and Seasonic Focus Plus GX 650w are all options around about 100cad

There's probably more, but those are what I see so far

CX and TX-M are non-modular, so those could be ruled out if you really want to

[modern arrow]

can i go with a 750w one for future upgrades?

[elfin trout]

You could if you want to

650w works great for the current system though.

It's extra money you can choose to spend

amp 750w are oos in Canada so

[scenic lance]

What are oos?

[elfin trout]

out of stock

[scenic lance]

Ahh

650w core reactor is available in Amazon atm

[elfin trout]

nvm was blind, but core reactor 750w was in stock

[modern arrow]

oh i see

thanks for the help 🙂

[scenic lance]

Should I go for Lian Li 215 or H500?

[elfin trout]

Core reactor, 130cad
https://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=33_1938&item_id=183350

CXF, 110cad

Focus GX, 135cad

XPG CORE Reactor 650Watt 80 Plus Gold Certified Fully Modular Power Supply (COREREACTOR650G-BKCUS) https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B07Z8J1973/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_ZEWNW3BDJT4MNJQ2KTCH?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

[modern arrow]

seasonic

hehe

[elfin trout]

@scenic lance Basically, 215 gets a bit better CPU temp, H500 gets a bit better GPU temp on stock config, your choice

[modern arrow]

750w supplies are all in stock for me

thats pretty nice

[scenic lance]

🤔

[elfin trout]

Assuming Coolermaster H500

[scenic lance]

Mhmm

[elfin trout]

Because NZXT H500 goes in the can behind you

[scenic lance]

Ohh right

Forgot about those

What case do you have @elfin trout ?

[modern arrow]

https://www.newegg.ca/asus-rog-strix-rog-strix-750g-750w/p/N82E16817320005

is this a good psu

[scenic lance]

That’s overpriced

[barren sparrow]

i mean youre paying for the gold plus u can get that 750 watts for possibly 90 bucks cheaper

[modern arrow]

i think on other websites its cheaper idk

[barren sparrow]

check best buy i think they sell good PSUs

[scenic lance]

I think if check the pins on here, there’s a tier list for PSU’s

[modern arrow]

https://www.newegg.ca/corsair-rmx-series-rm750x-cp-9020179-na-750w/p/N82E16817139233

how about this one

h

[scenic lance]

That one is popular for a reason

[modern arrow]

hmmm

always seen that one on youtube looks pretty good for the price

[scenic lance]

Yeah it’s good

[sand atlas]

That's my power supply. Can confirm, excellent quality.

[modern arrow]

RGB power supply

lol

[scenic lance]

Hehe

If you want it

[modern arrow]

Might cop it

RGB = more fps

everyone knows that

[sand atlas]

99% chance you won't ever see the rgb on a power supply

[modern arrow]

ik

[scenic lance]

Unless you don’t have a shroud

[sand atlas]

Even then, most cases are bottom mount, fan down

[modern arrow]

whats the difference between the rmx series and the rmx series from 2018?

for the corsair power supply

[scenic lance]

Then you can use the rgb as underglow lol

[sand atlas]

Not really any tangible difference. Both are top tier.

[modern arrow]

i see

[plucky citrus]

Just don't buy anything that's not 80+.

And don't buy anything with ketchup mustard cables in 2021.

Its time we move out of 2002.

[tranquil gulch]

Just ordered the 4000d airflow

better than nzxt h510 I think

[opal night]

nDeed

[dawn matrix]

Much

[plucky chasm]

[opal night]

https://www.ibuypower.com/Store/AMD-Archer-EZB101/W/1428764

[plucky chasm]

yes tahts it

[opal night]

New users can't post links, anti spam measure

Sorry for the hassle but there you go

[tranquil gulch]

mt only prebuilt problem is parts quality

unless you go to configure on their website which gonna cost a lot

[plucky chasm]

hm

[tranquil gulch]

at least they are in stock

[snow spoke]

it looks like it's got good components

[opal night]

Seems a bit expensive for what it is, 800W PSU not needed

[snow spoke]

^

[plucky chasm]

i cant choose not to have soemthing ;/

[opal night]

That being said

In this market, it's really not bad

Ram is good AND dual channel

[snow spoke]

yee

[plucky chasm]

so is it worth it?

[snow spoke]

imma check other websites rq, to see what they have

[opal night]

I changed the PSU but it only went down $10

[plucky chasm]

what did u cange it to?

change*

[opal night]

700W

3060 only needs a 600W PSU TBH

Couldn't go any lower tho

[plucky chasm]

i c

[plucky chasm]

.

[tranquil gulch]

10 dollars??

just change it back lol

[opal night]

IKR

[tranquil gulch]

Future proof ur psu

with 800 or 700

[opal night]

Depends on what it is tho

[plucky chasm]

huh

[civic spoke]

anyone have the smallest case

that is portable

and easy to travel?

[opal night]

Honestly, if you want something like, the Corsair One is a fantastic option but it's not cheap. Also the NZXT H1 now that the PCI-E mount is resolved https://www.nzxt.com/products/h1-matte-white

[elfin trout]

@civic spoke try NR200p or TU150 as reasonable options, actually smallest would go to something like velka case 3

[civic spoke]

NR200p kinda similar to razer tomahawk case

Thanks mate

[elfin trout]

What

One has a ventilated side panel, the other doesn't :p

[cunning dragon]

Super Flower, Seasonic, or Corsair power supply?

[summer gorge]

depends

which one of each

[cunning dragon]

I had a super flower ordered and it was stolen in transit 1000w 80+ titanium.

I need a recommended replacement because they're sold out.

[summer gorge]

did they reimburse you?

[cunning dragon]

Yes refunded.
