How much lower to adjust

IDK, play around with it a bit and see if it affects temps. I think it won't but you never know.

thank you ^^

spare magnet
#

Hmm

#

Looks like I’ll be needing another psu

crude fractal
#

Any suggestions for sleeved PSU cables?

honest spindle
#

Any suggestions for cool looking pc cases that are small but would still fit atx components?

#

Not especially worried about airflow

tender root
#

if you mean ATX mainboard, then there is a fair limit on the size of things

#

if you mean, atx PSU but a matx/itx mainboard, there are a bunch of interesting (and quite varied) sizes available

honest spindle
#

more of if I wanted a new case, I wouldn't want a new psu, but I could prolly swap the mobo

#

so psu size is more important, but if it looked coll style wise and could fit an atx mobo that would be cool

#

I'm looking for style looks more than anything else

elfin trout
#

Looks are very subjective so any more pointers ...?

honest spindle
#

not a box

#

or at least not just a box

#

not really sure, but something that stands out on a desk sort of thing

#

I know it's not much description........

elfin trout
#

P360a looks decent

#

mb311/mb511 maybe

#

500dx might be interesting

honest spindle
#

ok thanks

lethal ridge
#

mb311l has some clearance issues and other fan related stuff

signal birch
#

any good cases under 50?

vocal tree
#

Not really but there are cases under 50 that are

#

Well

#

Cases

fierce pivot
#

Cougar i think do a case around there that's ntb

alpine fox
#

I have a nice Phanteks case I'm going to use. (Well, nice looks-wise. Still going to have to figure out how I'm setting up the fans I bought.)

quick dirge
#

I had a 600w thermaltake smart and that actually burnt up, back positive and ground got fried along with the positive female end of the power cord.

#

I have a pic actually

#

Gotta find it first

open adder
#

Need a pretty cheap psu for my 2nd build . 500-600w should be good . Any suggestions?

sand atlas
#

What's going to be in the build, CPU and GPU specifically?

open adder
#

2600x + 2 x 1060 6gb

sand atlas
#

$52

open adder
#

It will be 70 for me is it worth it?

quick dirge
#

Eh I can’t find it but I still have the PSU

open adder
#

Because of shipping and taxes

sand atlas
#

What site is best for shipping for you? Newegg, Amazon, Best Buy?

quick dirge
#

But yeah the TT smart 80+ should probably be moved to E-tier, I’ve seen at least another instance where someone’s also had their PSU fry and one where it caught fire.

open adder
#

Newegg or amazon

#

But i will always need to pay extra for shipping so its fine

quick dirge
#

But yeah sorry for the super late reply, this just caught my eye, coming from personal experience with that same/similar PSU I would definitely get a different one, if you don’t want to run the risk of frying or worse starting a fire.

open adder
#

@sand atlas found this at a local store ANTEC PSU 600W VP600P Plus is that a ok one? Or not

sand atlas
sand atlas
open adder
#

Ok

open adder
#

Should i get the other one for a bit more?

sand atlas
#

No hang on, I'll find a good one for under $60 with shipping at least tier B

just buy Segotep

#

BQ is literally terrible

#

it should have been tier D or something

sand atlas
#

At least it has OCP, unlike most D tier

fallow cairn
#

?

#

I don't' think it has OCP

open adder
#

I dont mind paying 10$ more for it if it is much better

fallow cairn
#

on 12v

#

and neither does it have correctly set OPP

#

no OTP either

#

and it runs really really hot

#

The 500 BQ switches off quickly on the minor rails, but has not implemented an OCP on the 12-volt rail. As in the case of the 500 BQ, it only becomes problematic if the overload protection (OPP) is not configured correctly.

#

ye it has no OCP and incorrectly set OPP

open adder
fallow cairn
#

In the 500 BQ there is no protective circuit against overheating, which is why in the event of a possible failure or blockage of the fan, one must hope that another fuse will trigger.

guys i need an expert help , ive got one of these Azza 802f cube cases , and ive lost the RGB remote controller of it , what shold i do

sand atlas
agile dirge
#

i did contact them , they said it is not a problem and its cheap but there is an alternative , they said if i my mainboard has a 3pin 5volt rgb header , i can straight connect to that and controll the fans off my mainboard

sand atlas
#

What motherboard do you have then?

agile dirge
#

i am using a MSI X470 gaming plus

#

for ryzen

sand atlas
#

You have the same board as me. We don't have the correct RGB header for this kind of lighting.

agile dirge
#

how unfortunate

#

oh wow its exactly that remote

sand atlas
#

See? Common

agile dirge
#

in the link , well it work with m hub too or do i have to replace that as well , meaning can i buy that seprately or must i get the whole thing

sand atlas
#

I picked that one out because it was the exact same remote, it should just work without replacing everything.

agile dirge
#

ok , my question was odd , so everything is in that purchase or is it only the remote controller

#

?

#

got it

sand atlas
#

"Package includes:

1x Molex D-type 4pin power cable
1x Motherboard sync cable
1x 21 Keys RF remote controller
1x Multifunctional hub box"

agile dirge
#

yes thank you sir , just saw it

sand atlas
#

It's the whole kit just in case it doesn't work for whatever reason

agile dirge
#

well thanks , unfortunate that they support only paypal , thats just hdus

sand atlas
#

If you want I can dig up another site or another model with the same remote

agile dirge
#

thatsd be great , 2 searching is always better than one , i live in europ just for info

sand atlas
#

What part of Europe? Some sites don't ship to some countries

agile dirge
#

austria

looks the same to me but i dont know tecnically

What case would be best for cats with airflow?

Im wanting to make a new pc but o got 3 vats

#

Cats

elfin trout
#

Well, what's the budget and what do you want to put in it?

languid sphinx
#

Any suggestions for psus would also be cool

fierce pivot
#

Only for asthetic purposes, also you can get way better performance out of that budget

languid sphinx
#

How would you change it?

fierce pivot
#

If you're just gaming a 5600x and b550 motherboard

elfin trout
#

change ram change mobo change cooler

languid sphinx
#

I mean ive already bought just about everything so there no going back but just curios

elfin trout
#

10700k is okay, but 5600x can outperform

fierce pivot
#

And rqm and cooler

elfin trout
#

it's a lot of extra premium paid for looks

uh

I have testing to back the statement up

#

In gaming

#

Not multi core

Practically every game other than rdr2, 5600x outperforms 10700k in the games tested

languid sphinx
fierce pivot
#

Hw unboxed similar results too i believe

languid sphinx
#

Idrc tho

#

Ill mainly be using it for gaming and editing btw

fierce pivot
#

Well you spent a metric crap tun too much on mobo, in general mobo should be half cpu price, but should never exceed it

elfin trout
#

there's the unreasonably low res for showing scaling for example

119166.png
languid sphinx
elfin trout
#

but much more reasonable in normal res for example

119167.png
#

anyways

languid sphinx
fierce pivot
#

And then they come with Bluetooth too

languid sphinx
#

ik

fierce pivot
#

Also why you won't even see the motherboard

#

You'll only see bottom mb but cooler and gpu will block most

#

Ohh wait you have aio nvm

#

But check pins for the psu tier list btw

languid sphinx
#

I mean I know I spent a lot on asthetics, but in my opinion, it was worth it for me to spend the extra 200 dollars (out of all the parts) on that

fierce pivot
#

Well the ek aio is better and rgb as well so

elfin trout
#

least it's not bad, as long as you know you spent extra

fierce pivot
#

And 120

elfin trout
#

you just need to know that you did spend extra for it

fierce pivot
elfin trout
#

as long as you accept that, fair.

languid sphinx

But anything in the A tier of psus in the pins should be g

What is your opinion on the 750RM vs RMx?

fierce pivot
elfin trout
#

RMx is just flat out better

fierce pivot
#

^

elfin trout
#

though by a bit

#

better caps

languid sphinx
#

wdym

fierce pivot
#

Capacitors

languid sphinx
#

oh ok

#

I think its like 10 dollars more on newegg comparing the two so I assume its probably worth that

#

Its actually 20 dollars more rn lol

elfin trout
#

RMx has nice jap caps, RM has wacky chinese caps, and that's not a joke or exaggeration

unknown.png
languid sphinx
#

Ok, would you recommend any other psus?

#

(750-850 watt)

elfin trout
#

anything in Tier A of the LTT PSU list, some examples would be like Revolution D.F., Phanteks amp, Seasonic Focus plus GX/GM

languid sphinx
#

Yea, I've been looking at that list and I find it really hard to understand

languid sphinx
#

I mean I probably saved close to 250 dollars just from deals I was waiting out for

elfin trout
#

unless you got really good deals

#

oh well

#

doesn't really matter at this point, just the point that aesthetics are expensive

languid sphinx
fierce pivot
elfin trout
#

there's like 50, I just choose some I liked

#

revo d.f. and phanteks amp generally best in terms of price for 750w/850w

fierce pivot
#

True

elfin trout
#

Seasonic for brand name if you scared of enermax and phanteks

fierce pivot
#

Yeah not many ppl heard of enermax

elfin trout
#

before I learned what was actually in the PSU I really looked down on enermax

#

because the liqtech I and II gunk thing

languid sphinx
#

I think im just gonna go with the RMx 750

fierce pivot
#

That should do you fine

elfin trout
#

Well, just a side note, revo d.f. is on the same platform as rmx lel

#

cwt gpu

#

Corsair just modified it a bit

languid sphinx
#

any aios yall would recommend? I forgot to mention I haven't gotten that yet

#

Im pretty confident in the one I had on there just bc of icue but idk

elfin trout
#

Freezer ii, EK-AIO, or Lian Li Galahad

opal night
elfin trout
#

Your choice out of the 3, those are the top performing aios atm (from GN testing)

#

it's like the holy trinity imo xD

opal night
#

yeah the Galahad is more expensive tho

#

But looks better than the EK

elfin trout
#

ya

languid sphinx
#

So Im basically gonna be paying 40 dollars for the fans to match and the software

elfin trout
#

uh

#

rgb software wack

languid sphinx
#

Icue is actually really nice imo

elfin trout
#

I'm the person to use freezer ii

elfin trout
#

or leave rgb stock

#

but eh

#

corsair corsair once you're in the ecosystem you kinda need it for rgb

languid sphinx
#

yep

#

Does the Galahad have as many rgb wires that are required for the corsair? I thought that was just a corsair thing but im not sure

elfin trout
#

@languid sphinx It has a splitter for the fans, so one cable terminating, but it gives you the option to plug into a controller powered by sata power if you want to

languid sphinx
#

Best buy doesn't have any of the three you suggested me(I have a gift card) so I think im going to have to go with the corsair anyway

elfin trout
#

aw sad

#

Corsair isn't horrible, just very mediocre

languid sphinx
#

thanks for the help tho

elfin trout
#

:)

languid sphinx
#

Are these any good compared to the cable mod ones? I cant find the cablemod ones anywhere in stock. I think im going to go with the regular cables bc I have a gift card for that as well that would cover the difference https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16812304076

fierce pivot
#

Well the psu comes with its own cables btw you don't need to buy em

languid sphinx
#

I know lol

fierce pivot
#

That's what it sounds like you're saying anyway

languid sphinx
#

Im not that stupid

elfin trout
#

Those are still very expensive

fierce pivot
#

It was just worded that way lol

languid sphinx
#

yea sorry

#

Or would you still recommend extensions vs these

fierce pivot
#

Nb lol just making sure lol

elfin trout
fierce pivot
#

Tbh the black cables still look grand

languid sphinx
#

versus RMx

elfin trout
#

god damn it I hate cablemod now

languid sphinx
#

oh

elfin trout
#

This is RMi/RMx/RM

#

actually

#

pinout should be the same

#

it's both CWT GPU, should be same connectors

fallow cairn
languid sphinx
#

It says " AXi / HXi / RM"

elfin trout
#

cablemod is just wack

unknown.png
languid sphinx
#

I thought you were talking about the ones from the cablemod store

elfin trout
#

@fallow cairn pinout for rmx and rm should be the same, right?

#

it's the same damn platform, plus some meme caps for rm

languid sphinx
#

It just doesn't let me send the exact link you sent me

elfin trout
#

oh wait, RM yellow label

#

I don't like cablemod

fallow cairn
fierce pivot
languid sphinx
elfin trout
#

@fallow cairn just realized RM orange label, the one the kit is for, is not CWT GPU, it's some other mods

#

modded CSG and CSH it seems?

#

but sad

fallow cairn
elfin trout
#

the heck is that chart

#

am confuze

fallow cairn
#

Corsair's PSU compatibility chart

elfin trout
#

corsair needs better documentation

languid sphinx
#

So RM from 2019 should be compatible with the RMx version

elfin trout
#

I've yet to find a CX 450 manual, what, one year into looking for one

fallow cairn
#

Bitfenix sells 16AWG cable replacement kits called Alchemy 2.0 that are compatible with both Corsair Type 4

elfin trout
#

@languid sphinx Yes, but the one on cablemod is RM Orange Label, which is different, just note

languid sphinx
fallow cairn
languid sphinx
#

Im planning on getting the RMx 750w

#

Oh wait Can't I just get the Rmx white version and save a ton of money

fallow cairn
#

lol yes

languid sphinx
#

I think im just going to do that. Sorry I didn't realize those came with white cables

fallow cairn
# languid sphinx What is your opinion on the 750RM vs RMx?

Also late response but RM gets rid of the in-cable caps, uses a llc resonant controller with burst mode for higher efficiency and switching from burst to normal can cause a whine-like sound around, worse ripple, caps are now elite/teapo (?)/su'scon and it's noisier

languid sphinx
#

Yea, its actually 20 dollars less rn to get the RMx version(not sure what the person who put that listing up is smoking) so im just gonna go with that anyway

fallow cairn

good lord $150+ still for a 850W PSU, i musta gotten lucky when I paid $99 for my TT SmartPower 850W back in 2011 due to a BB employee placing error

elfin trout
#

Uh

#

Revo d.f. 850w for 130$ still bae

#

I don't think 100$ for tt smart 850w is wrong

#

Smart is a lower end model

alpine fox

Isn't Thermaltake Smart one of the PSUs considered somewhat risky to have?

elfin trout

Some of them

I think I'm going to keep looking for something more flexible than the O11 Dynamic XL. After watching GN case review it seems like despite its size it's actually pretty limiting, and I'm need to make sure this case is able to house basically anything

scenic lance
#

Any one know a good case with nice air flow i got 3 cats so filters would be nice

elfin trout
#

The usual good cases, td500 mesh, p500a, 4000d, lancool ii mesh, etc.

#

iirc 4000d has a removable dust filter, for the others, the mesh front is the filter (removable ofc)

scenic lance

Ok thx

#

Im new to makeing pcs any saguestion for my first

elfin trout

lemme check if it was 4000d or 5000d that has removable filters..

@scenic lance First, what's your budget for a case?

scenic lance
#

I mean my buget is 2 k and i git the ram and mother bord so id say 1 to 200

what would be a good program to make up a model for a case i want to build?

scenic lance
#

U can make your own case?

distant dagger
#

yeah?

#

ive been drawing up different schematics for a few ideas i had

#

rn i have a phanteks p400a and it doesnt really have the room for the type of build im going for, so im either going to chop it and modify it or build one how i want it from the ground up

elfin trout
scenic lance
#

Is this one good?

elfin trout
#

(it's the one I linked, but yea, P500a is great, Vintageracer has it right now)

#

Do the fans change color with a remote or dose it rotate?

#

I Saw those so theought id ask

elfin trout
#

I need to check, I believe it comes with a remote too?, but either way, it'll be controllable with software

scenic lance

Hello guys! I have a question in regards to my gaming case (if it's okay to ask in here)?

elfin trout

go ahead

chrome iris
#

American Pirate Ship I’m dying

limpid ivy
#

So I have to replace my tempered glass side panel since it shattered, and was wondering if any of the Fractal Design R4, R5, or R6 side panel upgrades would fit on my case? I have a CyberPowerPC Onyxia II 242W High Air Flow Mid Tower Gaming Case?

#

I don't need to replace the whole case, just the side panel

#

(hopefully)

chrome iris
#

The side panel, and case, look really similar to a Thermaltake Core G21

#

Not the front panel but the inside

#

Is there a chance you can send some pictures

#

I’m not sure how you’d buy just a side panel for either of those but idk

limpid ivy
#

sure! One sec

#

oh, it says I don't have permission to attach files LOL

#

I can put it in gen chat rq??

nvm, build pics is where I placed the images at

Cause cyber power would probably send a replacement side panel

limpid ivy
#

I'm almost positive it still has the warranty. It's not even a year old

Yeah 2 year is standard for prebuilt companies I believe

At least 1 year

Waiting for them to respond is probably the best option

luckily everything still works on it...had to fish out all the tempered glass pieces

that was so much fun LOL

I’ve shattered a panel before was too lazy to get a replacement

@limpid ivy from those pics you posted that is definitely an alternation of the Thermaltake Core G21

If you can get a core G21 panel it should work

@scenic lance Looks like the Musetek case

best combo bang for the buck and cooling atx case with decent aesthetic? im guessing the p300a but i need a diff case for better cooling, cpu and gpu a little warmer than id like them to be

elfin trout

Wat

#

What's wrong with the p300a

noble leaf
#

no im saying im guessing that may be the best answer but i dont know. and i want to make the right choice

#

i have a corsair 200r and it isn't the greatest for front intakes

fierce pivot
#

Corsair 400d/5000d airflow

elfin trout
#

Oh I thought you meant you need something other than p300a for some reason

#

P400a, p500a, lancool ii mesh, td500 mesh

#

Gamers nexus has really detailed case reviews if you wanna check temp

elfin trout
#

Just keep in mind circumstances behind charts

fierce pivot
#

Indeed

elfin trout

(some case better for cpu temp, some better for gpu temp, some better with stock fan setup, some better with normalized fan setup, etc)

400d/5000d way outta price range lol but ill check those others out

elfin trout

Uh I just assumed 100$ price range

fierce pivot

80 - 100 is what im shooting for but i know the 4000d i could afford to buy. ill just have to see whats the best for my case

elfin trout
#

Oh right 5000d is like 150$

actually 165+

#

4000d isa only 95$ hmmm

Whjat parts are you powering with that?

1660 ti and non oc 9900k

SHould be more than enough to power things. Way more than enough. I'd suspect heat issues before power supply. You're sure all the connections are proper?

err i think

what should i check?

Just take the cables out and put em back in incase

To start with

Anyone have any good suggestions for a mini itx case?

sand atlas
#

There's so many different types and sizes of ITX case I couldn't possibly recommend one without knowing what other features you need. Do you need it ultra compact? A handle? Will you be putting a full size GPU in there?

fierce pivot
#

And will you be water/air cooling

slate creek
#

Water cooling, full size gpu and I’m going portable

astral grail
#

RTX 3090 with H710i? Enough airflow? Was looking at NZXT prebuilts to refresh myself with prices and that doesn't seem like it would be enough.

slate creek
#

Preferably I’m going for something that doesn’t take up too much space

fierce pivot
#

I mean it might be okay

#

Wouldn't recommend tho

astral grail
#

What I thought. I'm not going to get a 3090 just saw it on their pre-builts

fierce pivot
#

Fair

#

But anyone getting a 3090 can afford 150 for a 5000d or something

astral grail
#

Assumed so

elfin trout
fierce pivot
#

Ntb

elfin trout
#

the review is like 2 years old

#

keep that in mind

#

p400a p500a lancool ii mesh td500 mesh all not up there

astral grail
#

Yea, and thats also not with a 3090 lol

elfin trout
#

but all of those perform around H500 (no suffix, coolermaster) or better than it

elfin trout
#

remember

#

this is dT over ambient

astral grail
#

Assumed they were reading GPU temps from software or something

elfin trout
#

No one can predict temp in a specific situation

astral grail
#

Still, if your getting a 3090 no reason not to get a 5000D or something else

elfin trout
#

too many god damn variables

#

but, it seems decent

elfin trout
#

p500a for what, 130$ is it but better

Hi. I don't know where to go in here on the topic of unboxing a PC. So i took out the foam and checking things out for damage or anything. I haven't touched anything but i notice there are zip ties on the cords and something that looks like it could be plugged in but is zipped tied so i don't know

#

I tried calling them but no answer

#

Do i cut those papers off? And cut off the zip ties

opal night
#

I'd leave em TBH

#

keeps the cables tidy

flat hearth
#

The part where my finger is don't need to be hooked up anywhere?

topaz robin
#

people pay extra for good cable management 🙂 zip ties are good

flat hearth
#

Okay what about the white paper. Do i take that off?

topaz robin
#

no

flat hearth
topaz robin
#

it literally says void if removed doesnt it

opal night
#

Just tuck it out of the way

#

It'll be fine

flat hearth
#

Okay. Thanks

fierce pivot
opal night
#

Yeah, they are illegal

#

In the US anyway

topaz robin
#

when you say illegal, do you mean like its a crime to add, or just that it isn't enforceable or binding in any way?

opal night
#

Illegal to put those on

topaz robin
#

thats concerning then lol

opal night
#

And also unenforceable

#

Eh

#

Everyone still does it

topaz robin
#

either way Id leave it and just tuck it away, its a clear indicator not to mess with it

#

lawyers arent worth the hassle if you have to deal with support and they get difficult about it

flat hearth
#

Okay I'm ready to start plugging cords.. i think i did it wrong last time. So i plug in power cord from monitor to pc where? This sticker says remove before use but it has an arrow so im confused if it wants me to plug stuff down below

fierce pivot
#

The power cord goes to your wall

#

Connect your monitors display to where it tell you

#

You might need to take out the black things for the port you wannt use

topaz robin
#

i think it probably wants you to plug the hdmi or display port into the gpu (the ones the arrow points at) rather than the motherboard (which might have additional ports the sticker is covering up?)

flat hearth
#

I have a power cord for the monitor to connect to PC and it doesn't really say where

topaz robin
#

power goes to wall
hdmi or display port goes to pc

flat hearth
fierce pivot
#

Wall or extension lead

#

Or you might call it a surge protector

flat hearth
#

I think we are talking about different plug ins. I 2 already connected to wall.

topaz robin
#

this is power, it goes to wall

image0.png
flat hearth
#

Those two are connected to wall.

topaz robin
#

this is display port, plug it into the pc

image0.png
flat hearth
#

Its this cord im confused about at the moment

20210414_172755.jpg
topaz robin
#

plug it into one of these

image0.png
#

its display port, its similar to hdmi

flat hearth
#

Okay i see where it says dp

#

Got it

topaz robin
#

awesome 🙂

#

afterward you can remove that sticker, it just wanted you to be sure it plugged into the gpu and not the motherboard, which might have extra ports

flat hearth
#

Gotcha.

#

Okay Now im doing it for the HDMI.

#

Does it matter which one?

sand atlas
#

You don't need both HDMI and DP, unless you have multiple monitors

topaz robin
#

you only need one of the two; so just leave the dp in. the other ports are if you have additional monitors (and again, use the ones in the gpu)

fierce pivot
#

Display port is better tho if you have a dp cable

flat hearth
#

Okay so the GPU is the ones on the very bottom

topaz robin
#

yeah

flat hearth
#

So whats the difference between the power in the front and this button?

topaz robin
#

that has to be switched on, and then the power button on the front actually turns it on

#

if that is switched off, power button wont work

flat hearth
#

Okay

#

Its running. Just setting up now.

flat hearth

I have one too, you can look up some color settings for it online and it makes it look better

#

Do i need to set anything up myself like windows 10 or drivers if thats the right word? Im so new to this.

So which one do i click on chipsets?

sand atlas
#

Hit Windows 10 - 64 Bit, then there's a download button

flat hearth
#

I can't get this app to pull up on my pc instead of phone. Can you walk me through it please?

This is what im looking at atm

Follow the other link I sent that ends in x570

flat hearth

Okay i sent it to myself. Its pulled up on pc instead of phone now

#

You can access discord through a browser too, you don't need it installed btw

#

Okay so i download all of these under windows 10?

sand atlas
#

Just the first one, the rest are for special cases like RAID volumes

flat hearth
#

Amd chipset got it

#

Installing.

sand atlas

That way you can login with your browser and click links that way

flat hearth
#

Restarting PC

#

Idk if it worked

sand atlas
#

Did it boot? If yes it worked

flat hearth
#

Whats boot?

sand atlas
#

Never mind. If you're back in the desktop install the Nvidia driver next.
If there's not warning or anything when installing it, then it worked.

flat hearth
#

Okay installing nvidia geforce experience

#

Downloading geforce game ready driver

#

Says its installed. What's next?

sand atlas
#

That's it. Install the things you want, play games, enjoy.

flat hearth
#

How do i know the chipset installed?

#

amd drivers, amd? intel chipset drivers? Whats the difference? And im supposed to do a windows update after?

sand atlas
#

Windows update will run on its own in the background. It'll let you know if you need to reboot.
AMD and Intel are the motherboard chipset manufacturers, you have an AMD system so you use AMD chipset drivers.
Nvidia and AMD make GPUs, you have a Nvidia RTX GPU so you use the Nvidia graphics drivers.

flat hearth
#

Okay. So we completed everything we needed to. Do i need to configure resolution or anything for the monitor or should I be all set?

Given $170 for a case whats your recommendation? Friend is looking at the H710i know there must be a better case out there.

elfin trout
#

P500a

sand atlas
#

Ehhh H710i isn't horrible but much better ones exist for cheaper. Check out the 4000d/5000d airflow.

elfin trout

TD500 mesh, (Coolermaster) H500, 4000d, 5000d, P400a, etc

Oh no I know its not bad, just there are cheaper and better options

Oh it's better than the evga br

But that's a pretty low bar lol

The segotep gp-g OPP set limit does really put me off though

opal night

Right

Thats what we talking about lol

Evga ba to be exact

unique pilot

Evga ba is a weird one I can't find anything on it yet

#

Reviews on it a scarce

opal night

Im mobile else id look

unique pilot

It uses the andyson q8 platform it seems which is the same as what the evga bq uses

So it's not a bomb but it's defo not a good unit

opal night
#

Regular rpice 75 too is horrible

unique pilot
#

Yeah that's awful corsair cx is far better at that price point if not lower

opal night

Yup! But on sale for 45 id still go segotep for 50

Like i said for the points I raised I couldn't put my trust in the segotep

opal night
#

Sure, i get it

#

Oh

#

Check cx prices now

#

Seem to have gone up

unique pilot
#

For reference

#

That's the enermax platimax unit that the segotep gp-g is a cost down version of

#

No OCP on the 12v rail and OPP set greater that 150%

#

Defo could lead to damaged components if it goes wrong

#

Shame the cx has gone up in price so much

opal night
#

What was thebother one, montech gamma or beta?

unique pilot
#

Montech century but isn't as good value as it was a few months back

#

Msi agf is lower or same price and is better

opal night
#

Only downside is the 12v regulation iirc.

#

Compared to the others though its great

unique pilot
#

Msi agf should be fine it's the same platform used by alot of psu's

#

The CWT GPU used in:
Revolution df (multi rail version) (best fan available with this platform)
Whisper m (multi rail version)
Deepcool dq-m (multi rail version)
Corsair RM (less heavily modified version)
Corsair RMx (heavily modified version)

thoughts on the Phanteks Eclipse P600S?

#

worth buying?

unique pilot
#

Expensive but good

exotic junco
#

Build experience was night and day compared to the Lian Li O11-XL

#

Which cost almost twice as much.

#

The only thing I don't particularly like about it are the sliding plastic covers, but that's because I have an E-ATX motherboard with right angle connectors, and I was just barely able to get the 24-pin cable plugged into it. With an ATX motherboard, or an E-ATX motherboard without 90 degree connectors, it would have been just fine.

unique pilot
#

Yeah not a fan of them cable covers they have the same in the p500a defo would be better off with rubber grommets

exotic junco
#

Kind of?

#

Like... when I slid the covers to the left, then routed the front fan cables, then slid the covers back to cover those, that felt pretty neat.

#

I don't think they're a bad idea on paper

noble leaf
#

i nabbed the p400a, it comes in monday and im actually kinda excited

exotic junco
#

Phanteks won me over just by putting the screws in a compartmentalized plastic case instead of dumping them into a big bag like everyone else seems to do >_>

noble leaf
#

wait so itll be in a nice plastic case?

#

the screws will?

exotic junco
#

They were in my P600S

#

Give me a second, I'll take a picture

#

I doubt you can see it, but Phanteks is embossed / printed on there too

20210416_153504.jpg
noble leaf
#

bro i really hope my p400a comes that way

#

definitely giving 5 stars for that

#

just for that

exotic junco

Also, most of this cable management was done when I got the case. All those cable ties were already installed in there, and all the front panel stuff was already cable managed. I just had open the ties and slip cables in there as needed, then refasten. Probably didn't do as great a job, but it looks OK to me.

wont really see much when you put on the rear panel since black doesn't show well on black

#

Nah. I also love the hinged doors.

#

I just felt like Phanteks went above and beyond in pretty much every way. If I had looked more into the Evolv X back when it came out I probably would have gotten that instead of the Lian Li case.

#

I didn't realize the Phanteks supported 140mm fans everywhere.

#

Or that its front panel didn't really obstruct airflow.

I don't wanna post mine now. I'm planning on swapping out the NH-D15 for an AIO when I can get my hands on a new GPU, and while I am at it, I will probably swap out the stock 24-pin cable and replace it with the custom MDPC-X sleeved one I got. The original one I had measured for the Lian Li wouldn't quite reach.

D15 still nice

Takes up way too much space. I don't know if I can even get to the PCIe release lever with it in there

I can, but it is thicc

I may have to wait a while to get the new PSU, but I thought I'd ask if anyone at Newegg had any ideas for an affordable solution, I would Love it to provide about 2x the demands of the system below, preferably Titanium, or Platinum rated (for better heat management and energy efficiency)

BTW budget today is $200 but likely will have a bit more soon

That poor threadripper... It gets beaten so thoroughly by the new cpu's...

#

Keeping the peak load below half is actually less efficient than a smaller capacity unit running 80%

woeful mauve
#

Was looking to future system expansion, am willing to sacrifice a bit of efficiency for a future system demand capable PSU

I might have missed it but what gpu were you running?

Yeah but for another $5 you can get a Phanteks AMP 750W full modular

Great PSU

Thanks

Are APEVIA or Thermaltake PSUs any good? are they loud?

No

Thats a bad psu

opal night

Yeah

That's a no

#

Budget and wattage?

north fox

Ive got a tt smart, really shouldnt have D:

#

Luckily only an APU build

fast pendant
#

No, just asking cuz some have the same prices as a Gigabyte or EVGA

opal night
#

Well

#

EVGA at that price point is gross also

#

BA for example

#

BR is passable

How the BA in comparison to W1 or BR? Obviously you’re saying it’s worse than BR but what are the major differences

opal night

In between. BR better, N1 is obviously a fire hazard

For $300?

Oh heck no

Enermax Revolution DF 850W

#

Ofc its good, good value tho definetly not lol

polar seal
#

never said god value 😄

exotic junco
#

$300? That's ridiculous. I bought an EVGA 1200 P2 for like $279 in 2019

opal night
#

Compared to others it's OK

#

Enermax is top of it's class and multi rail

#

And only $129

polar seal
#

hmm it's only gold, was thinking going titamium level 😄

opal night
#

So fun thing

#

The difference between gold and titanium is about $5 a year in savings

#

Maybe $10 at most

#

So the price difference will literally take you years to overcome

north fox
#

Decades

opal night
#

So save money and just go Gold

exotic junco
#

The important thing is to refuse to buy any PSU that's not fully modular. We have to have standards lol

exotic junco
#

the 3000 series is power hungry enough I don't know if I'd be brave enough to go with 750W given what they are liable to come out with next

ya i was thinking 850 for a rtx card and just keep shuffling till i get a chance

I bought a Phanteks AMP 750W for my build. (It is a tad overkill for a 5600x and 3060, but it does leave me loads of space to upgrade in a few years.)

whats a good psu for a 3700x and a 3070

I only buy non modular 😤

Avoiding cable management is for wimps

those are just nice PSUs for the price

someone recommended it to me

that's revo d.f. 850w

so it's good
