[hearty minnow]

rn i got a montech psu and an h510 case

[fierce pivot]

Just overpriced and mediocre

[weary vine]

Return both imo

[fierce pivot]

They can't they said they been using for while lol

[hoary epoch]

[weary vine]

Oh rn they using

[fierce pivot]

Get an msi agf 850w and a p400a/p500a

[weary vine]

They arent upgrading to that

Ohhh

[hoary epoch]

That build is an easy bake oven

[weary vine]

Eh

Not really

[hoary epoch]

H510...

[weary vine]

Its not as bad as people say it is lol

[wanton briar]

The H510 is not AS bad as everyone says but its just the build quality that is not great and not the best airflow and not the best price

[weary vine]

Its still bad and not worth it tho

Look at gamers nexus vid on the h510

[wanton briar]

I don't recommend it to people but its not so bad that it's unusable if you already have it

[hoary epoch]

Unlike the H1 case iirc or was it N1 i cant remember the name where it had a major recall

[fierce pivot]

H510 elite is the real oven regular is fine

[hoary epoch]

[near shale]

is it worth upgrading the h510 to like a 4000d or 5000d? i currently have a terrible gpu due to the shortage (gt 1030), so airflow and cooling hasnt been much of an issue, but it might be something i consider when i do end up getting a 30 series

[elfin trout]

p400a p500a td500 mesh lancool ii mesh p360a neo air mx330-g air

[ember hound]

Alrighty, so I guess as some of you know, I’m over the hump on my latest PC upgrade. I am interested in looking at a new case to make it all look super nice, I am looking for something that has RGB, and I can move a lot of air through

[mild roost]

P400A, 4000D/5000D (Both has to be airflow version), P360A

[ember hound]

By Phanteks presumably?

[sterile pasture]

You can't go wrong with the Phanteks P500A. TON of room to build in. Comes with 140mm fans (although I swapped mine out for something else). You also can't go wrong with the LianLi Lancool Mesh II. Both are some of the best cases for airflow.

[echo gulch]

How important is it to have a good case (not broken)

I have a case where my siblings stood on it and broke a hole In the clear glass on the side. I was wondering if it is worth gwting a new case or if it will be fine

[vocal tree]

what kind of glass gets a hole in it lol

[echo gulch]

I ment to say plastic

I thought it was glass untill they broke it

[ember hound]

Lian Li sounds like some sketch Chineseium

[vocal tree]

it's not important at all

[hearty minnow]

i ended up choosing the meshify 2

[hollow gale]

negative. some of the best cases on the market.

[slate creek]

Lancool II Mesh= best case

Should I get Lancool 2 mesh or 4000d?

[fierce pivot]

Imo get p400a but all great options up to you

[elfin trout]

between those two cases, lancool ii mesh

[marble nimbus]

Is the performance mesh the same as the rgb mesh?

Bc it’s cheaper

[wanton briar]

The performance comes with non RGB fans

Anybody know if the 2021 run of Corsair RM power supplys are any good?
CORSAIR RM Series (2021), White, RM850, 850 Watt, 80 Plus Gold Certified, Fully Modular Power Supply https://www.amazon.com/dp/B093RCJRNS/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_N6TNQKY9CYPAJH75852D?psc=1

[fierce pivot]

mehh

[scenic lance]

Somebody recommended the 2019 RMx to me, is that a better option

What about 2018 rmx
Corsair RMX White Series (2018), RM850x, 850 Watt, 80+ Gold Certified, Fully Modular Power Supply - White, 80 PLUS Gold (CP-9020188-NA) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07JWT8YV3/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_QK6125FSWJZT4369MP2E

[fierce pivot]

rmx definetly is but corsair psus are overpriced usually

why do you even want white psu?

most cases hide the psu

[scenic lance]

Because I was planning on spending this much anyway, and this way I don't have to spend more money on white sleeved cables or extensions

I know Corsair is overpriced but after this latest fiasco I'm just gonna stop trying so hard to be stingy and actually buy components I trust

[fierce pivot]

well theres just better psus for like 30-40$ less but fair enough

[scenic lance]

I know, but the conversation I had where I decided on my current power supply went very similarly to this one and I kind of just want to trust my instincts this time around

[fierce pivot]

i see

well thing is only a few companies actually make the power supplies anyway

heard of superflower?

[scenic lance]

I just read that the early 2021 psus had some issue with them, so I'm gonna get the 2018

[fierce pivot]

theyre on of the oems but id recommenced a CWT GPU re brand instead like msi agf or enermax revolution d.f. for cheaper lol but they dont come in white sooo

[scenic lance]

Yeah I know super flower makes most of them
But
The AIBs that sell super flower have different and often better QC standards than super flower themselves

[fierce pivot]

nope the 2021 and 2018 versions are both great

[elfin trout]

I mean, it's mainly the OEM that does the testing lol

For example, GN toured the facility for the OEM who also did QC for Coolermaster PSUs
https://youtu.be/WToOFblsXqM

Don't think they said which OEM

And Coolermaster uses so many God damn OEMs

So I can't tell you which it was

Coolermaster does use CWT PSUs for some of their models tho

Don't think they use SF

[elfin trout]

@fierce pivot just also keep in mind Corsair RMx is just modified CWT GPU lel

And RM is like CWT GPU but modified with worse caps afaik

Corsair uses CWT a lot

[fierce pivot]

yes yes i phrased it a bit weird now that i re read it 😅

[hidden thicket]

Send help with PSU. I am in search of a PSU with 3 pcie ports in the back. Help

The reason why I need is because I am running custom cables.

And they won't hook into the Y split.

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Q36qqs/cooler-master-v-sfx-gold-850-w-80-gold-certified-fully-modular-sfx-power-supply-mpy-8501-sfhagv-us id get this

[hidden thicket]

it says it has 2 cpu cables and 4 pcie. but it doesnt have 6 ports?

oh I see they are can be switched around.

[wintry herald]

Looking at AMD Ryzen 9 and Gigabyte MB ... would like a 6U rack case ... looking for feedback on form factor and pitfalls

Server Racks

[hidden thicket]

my issue still kinda stands. I need another pci cable and it only comes with 2 Y cables.

[fierce pivot]

Wdym 6 ports?

[fierce pivot]

You can buy another one cable if need be

[ancient nebula]

https://tenor.com/view/cooler-master-gaming-psu-power-supply-v750-gif-17921726

[hollow gale]

can we pin this?

[verbal oak]

no

great wall

apparently just an updated TXM gold or something, designed to fit more in some ATX specifications better

[elfin trout]

You sure?

I'm 99% sure it's cwt

At least 2019 version

I'm just like 50% sure it's gpu

[torn sundial]

Hey, my pc fan has these weird pins that i cant seem to fit anywhere in my mobo, do I need an adapter or something?

[hollow gale]

what make and model of fan? is that the only cable?

[torn sundial]

Theres another thats a "SATA" plug

Like its weird cuz the cable comes from the fan

The chassis is uh

Lemme get the name

Nfortec Lynx

Its the fan that comes with it

[hollow gale]

there must be a fan controller hub that it plugs into, cos thats not standard at all

[torn sundial]

Uh, is therr not a way to make it spin otherwise? Not even an adapter?

I could use that fan instead of it being dead weight

[hollow gale]

honestly dont know bud. have you checked if there is a plave on the chassis to plug it in?

https://www.nfortec.com/manuals/lynx-manual.pdf

even the manual doesnt say anythign about it

https://www.nfortec.com/nfortec-lynx-fan-rgb

so here is a page for the fan on your case, my spanish is rusty, but what it seems to say is that the connector is a proprietary 12v 4 pin Nfortec one. that means you need to find the fan hub in your case to get it to work

[elfin trout]

Is the fan Daisy chain?

Looks like the male pwm 4 pin

[hollow gale]

cant be, doesnt have the 3/4 pin key

[elfin trout]

Might have the keying still

The 'bottom' of that connector might have the right holes

[torn sundial]

I actually found out, i can connect the sata part to a sata power source and it works

[slender patrol]

any good SFF case experts in here?

[fierce pivot]

I'm not an expert but what's your question

[slender patrol]

What are some of the popular SFF case options with tempered glass that would fit up to a 3080ftw3

Gonna do a build with either 3070xc3 or a 3080ftw3

[fierce pivot]

Cooler master Nr200p and ssupd meshilicious are my go to

[slender patrol]

Meshilicious would fit a 2.5 slot?

[weary vine]

I wont recommend an evga card tbh

Lotta problems with em

If theres nothing else you can find then go evga

[slender patrol]

Really the only thing I got at this time, and their warranty is great.

Only other option would be some MSI 3060tis

[weary vine]

Ahh evga fine them

Then

FTW3 is better than XC3 as well btw

The xc3 has not great cooling

[slender patrol]

It’s a 3070 xc3 so I’m expecting less TDP and heat generation to begin with.

[fierce pivot]

Yup

Tbf the 3070 is way easier to cool

[mild roost]

3070ti's gddr6x is hooottttt

[hollow gale]

new Lian Li Q58

[hollow gale]

these are good, but not with glass. With mesh they are great, the glass version cook hardware

[fierce pivot]

Ohh yeah

Forgot front was solid

[hollow gale]

For my money, id go with the coolermaster NR200P max. Comes with 280mm AIO, PCIe 4 Riser and a 850W 80+ gold PSU

[elfin trout]

All the aib partners have their problems though :p

[weary vine]

shade better or worse tho

[elfin trout]

EVGA should still have the best warranty out of everyone though

[weary vine]

Yeh but bad solder

[elfin trout]

but also only that one batch, and other companies cards also failed, other companies just never made a statement

[weary vine]

Fair fair

[quick gale]

Do you need a GPU for a strictly streaming build? Just plugging in a camera, internet, OBS and setting a live stream up, not a gaming stream. I was asked if I could help a local pastor I assume he wants to stream Sunday services. While I have hardware knowledge I don’t have any streaming specific knowledge. Any help is appreciated

Snap thought I was in general chat lol my bad

that is if the webcam can output via usb

was interested in seeing the 'rigging results' part but I was disappointed with lack of things

other than 90+ firefighters will come to your house when you use a 90+ certified psu

[fierce pivot]

im just glad theres an official source saying straight up "80+ rating means nothing " apart from efficiency

[elfin trout]

yea I thought it was going to be a news piece and that's why I was dissapointed

[fierce pivot]

Ahh fair enough

[mystic bough]

So my Thor 1200w psu was lost by FedEx... there is a local shop that sells EVGA psus.... are they still catching on fire? I was told to avoid that brand.

[elfin trout]

It's more about the model than just the brand, what PSUs specifically are you looking at?

For example, EVGA N1 is more like catching on fire tier, but EVGA G2 is just god tier, one of the best PSUs you could've bought.

[mystic bough]

EVGA SuperNOVA 1600 G+

they also have a EVGA SuperNOVA 1300G2 1300

thank you for the feed back, I will gowith the 1300w one

[elfin trout]

G+ is okay, G2 is great

The new owner of the Caselabs name is "a firm believer in Right To Repair" so, hopefully this won't go downhill.

Oh damn

Apparently Steve was thinking about buying Caselabs

That would have been even more pog

[wanton briar]

I would have loved to see that happen

[unreal epoch]

I'd never buy a case from another manufacturer if Steve had bought Caselabs.

Because anything else would just be objectively inferior.

You could put TWO wholeass ATX systems in it.

those deskmats paying off!

500% margin

[round pike]

500? That seems way too high

[odd flare]

4mm thick high quality ones of these cost around $3-4 in bulk

and these are 3mm

toss in $2-3 of shipping

with sea freight

and around $2/kg

idk margins on his buildmats

but i know how much deskmats cost

steve ballin

[round pike]

You forgot a few costs

Also I'd put sourcing them a bit higher than 3-4 bucks

[odd flare]

import tariffs are included in the $2-3 of shipping

have you bought em?

[round pike]

Yup

[odd flare]

have you talked to deskmat manufacturers?

[round pike]

Yup

[odd flare]

you're getting ripped off

[round pike]

Did a bulk run of mats recently, 12 bucks each

[odd flare]

did you buy off alibaba or taobao?

or aliexpress

[round pike]

That's for purchase and shipping

Then you have to pay for facilities to hold the mats, processing, web page, etc

[odd flare]

$12 each is stupid hihg

even one off sample mats

cost me like

$5-6

and again, im simply talking about product margin

idk their processing, webpage etc.

and i love their content

im just saying they making a lot off their merch

[round pike]

Ofc, GN's are higher quality than that so I could understand them costing more than ours did

[odd flare]

i'd post the samples i got but dunno if they're sfw

Doesn't have to be the design you had made, just the company name will work

$6.20 for a one off, contact him for bulk

i get discounts

use alipay to avoid taobao fee

900x400x3mm is $4.65 USD, and thats for a one off custom print

and these are pretty nice mats, if you want I can DM some of their work

[fierce pivot]

they go up to 11 usd lol

[odd flare]

for the larger mats

yeah

[fierce pivot]

well coulnt configure cuz didnt have account?

[odd flare]

this is what i reccommend

4mm thick is best thickness

3mm is cheaper

now intl shipping is a bit cuck rn

[odd flare]

gotta print it right, send in CMYK file

dunno about QC tho

mine were fine

and a buy for 25

not bulk bulk tho

not like 1k units

Yeah, they needed the back color special made for them

[odd flare]

what color was the back?

[round pike]

GN blue

[odd flare]

blue?

ah

wouldnt be a custom material

just a different dye

[round pike]

Also, your pads in that pic are already warped

[odd flare]

can get pantone matched

thats cuz they were rolled up for shipping

anyways

i love GN

hope they do more case review

[round pike]

Stitching doesn't look the greatest either

[odd flare]

even premium deskmat manus that novelkeys, dixiemech, etc. sell arent that much more

and GN's is still 3mm

these three are the ones i daily

bottom two i got made

top is weeb one

[vivid flare]

Is the pc-011 dynamic case from a good overall case?

[hollow gale]

its decent, but best used for custom water loops, imho

[vivid flare]

gotcha

what would you suggest for a air cooled case?

[hollow gale]

Phanteks P400/P360/P500, Lian Li Lancool II Mesh / 215, Corsair 4000D Airflow, Fractal Design Torrent

there are cheaper and more expensive alternatives to those

[vivid flare]

Alright

Another question

is the fractal design meshify 2 any good compared to those?

[hollow gale]

yes, its also good.

[vivid flare]

Alright cool

so with those options I can't necessarily go wrong

[hollow gale]

Yeah.

[vivid flare]

question about the pc-011 case, if I were to upgrade to a custom loop in the future but would be using a air design will I get by?

[hollow gale]

yes. the 011 is a good case overall. it wont cook your hardware if you use air. my opinion though is that if one doesnt use a custom loop, one is not using it to its full potential.

[vivid flare]

Alright good to know

I will probably be sticking with case for now because I do plan on upgrading to a custom loop in like a year

[hollow gale]

good choice.

Ah the good old case slap, I remember when you had to do that 3-4 times a day

[scenic lance]

lmao

comparable to the N64 and DS cartridge blow

[sand atlas]

Yep. N64 was really well built too. Assuming no physical or electrical damage most of them could still run today with just a quick puff of breath.

[scenic lance]

careful not to include any spit with that puff of breath

[sand atlas]

Honestly... it never mattered much for me. But if I thought I had too much salivation going on I'd just blow on it again to dry it lmao

Guys i just moved

And i have my psu cable and monitor cable

They look alike

Is it ok if i use whichever

[sand atlas]

You mean the thick power cable that goes in the outlet? Yeah they're pretty universal

[clever finch]

can i buy a 650 watt psu for a 5600x and a rtx 3080?

[elfin trout]

might as well stick to one discord :p

[hollow gale]

id go for 750 minimum

[sharp lintel]

Which is better? Both $55

[elfin trout]

don't really know the cases, but from first glance, bottom

[hollow gale]

Aestheticsa lone? The Versa for me

[wanton briar]

Both have mesh fronts are are good

[mild roost]

The antec had sus pic inconsistencies ngl

[sharp lintel]

I don't see anything weird about it

Besides maybe the glare on the glass panel

[fierce pivot]

I'd go with 850w, 750w should do though

[verbal oak]

lol 850?

might as well go 1300

[mild roost]

850w psus are usually similarly or even lower priced

Well talking about the A850GF specifically

@tacit wren im not able to find what green and what black cable to short pls help

Did you look up the 24 pin connector's pinout?

[weary vine]

Yeah and theres a lotta greens and a lotta blacs on there on different pics

And none of them seem to use the same colour scheme

[elfin trout]

you trying to do paperclip test..?

[weary vine]

Yeah

[tacit wren]

Literally the first result has the info you need

[weary vine]

Oh ok

Because theres like 8 black pins

All seem to be ground tho

And fans rev up when i do this?

[elfin trout]

should*, as long as the PSU doesn't have a zero-fan mode or whatever

[weary vine]

Yeah nope no fan spin

I have an mwe 750 v2 gold

Im pretty sure no zero fan mode

Or does it

@elfin trout help pls

Noise level at 20% 0db

[fierce pivot]

Looks like 0 fan mode to me

[elfin trout]

see if there's a switch on the back of the psu

[weary vine]

The psu power switch?

[elfin trout]

I mean stuff like hybrid mode

eco mode

[weary vine]

Nah thats it

[elfin trout]

sad

[weary vine]

No other switches

Doa psu?

Like confirmed then?

[elfin trout]

It was plugged into the wall and on when you did paperclip test right

[weary vine]

Yeah

I tried with psu button in both orientations just in case the button was whack

[orchid ether]

What’s the best case? Function over form.

[elfin trout]

what budget

[orchid ether]

Im using a cooler master haf 932 at the moment and it’s time to upgrade. $200

[elfin trout]

What form factor are you planning on?

eatx? atx? matx? itx?

[orchid ether]

Full atx.

[elfin trout]

aight take a look at P500a, H500p mesh, 5000d airflow, and 7000d airflow first

big bois, if you want smaller, there's also other options

[orchid ether]

Does heat necessarily go up with smaller cases?

[elfin trout]

Not really

Unless you mean physically up, yes, heat still goes up, heat rises

In terms of more heat in smaller cases, it's still the same components making the same amount of heat, it's just about how well you can get the heat out

there's ITX cases like meshilicious that's actually quite decent at getting the heat out and keeping things cool

[orchid ether]

A top mount aio should have fans blowing out or sucking in? Manual says in but I think out makes more sense.

Question: Im looking to upgrade my cpu and motherboard. I was looking at the MSI MPG Z490 GAMING PLUS LGA 1200 Intel z490 and an I7 10700KF. My current psu is Corsair CX 600 Bronze ATX which only has the 8 pin ATX power connector while the mobo has the 8 and 4 pin. My GPU is a 970. Will I need to upgrade my power supply?

[sand atlas]

No, the extra 4 pin is optional for extreme overclocking

[fringe quiver]

Will I still have more than enough power?

[sand atlas]

The 970 is fairly low power so until you upgrade that to something more thirsty, you're fine

[fringe quiver]

Awesome thank you so much.

[fierce pivot]

and depends on the definition of best, like theres technically the best but it's like 3x the price of a top tier a tier anyway

[orchid ether]

That cultist list is kinda confusing. Doesn’t say how many watts each one is and there’s no link for each. It’s like looking at a fancy wine list.

[fierce pivot]

A good power supply has different wattages, most of the wattages are all good all the way from 550w to 850w usually

https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/1116640-psu-tier-list-40/

I prefer this list tho

looking at getting a different case for my pc, my current case is getting too bulky for my desk and looking to downgrade slightly,

this is the case im looking at:https://www.newegg.com/black-cooler-master-masterbox-mb511-rgb-atx-mid-tower/p/N82E16811119356

[fierce pivot]

Mb511 is a meh case, I'd consider a p400a or something instead but you can't really downsize much while having a 360mm aio, what case do you have atm

[fierce pivot]

Jesus

[slim fulcrum]

yea i made a mistake getting that case

its a good case, but im wanting to get a 3-d printer for my deskspace and i have a designated tower space on my desk but that doesnt fit in it

so would this 1 be a good switch to https://www.newegg.com/black-phanteks-eclipse-p400a-atx-mid-tower/p/N82E16811854086?Description=p400a&cm_re=p400a-_-11-854-086-_-Product&quicklink=true

@fierce pivot

[fierce pivot]

Yeah

It's a very good case

Hopefully a bit less bulky

[slim fulcrum]

and that card wont have issues in it?

[fierce pivot]

Nope the card will fit

It's still a regular sized atx case so idk how much space it will help you with

Actually it is a big diff nvm lol

[slim fulcrum]

im trying to see how much space i have for my tower space on my desk

i think my space is like 10 inches

[slim fulcrum]

@fierce pivot, stupid question, is it the case that comes with the mounting screws or is that stuff in the mobo box?

[fierce pivot]

Case comes with mounting screws

[slim fulcrum]

ok, i was just curious, its been a little since i built my pc and i stripped 1 of the screws, it was like extremely cheap

u crazy bro

thats just insane

1000w?

this person isnt bz

[sand atlas]

1000W would be accounting for the 500W power spikes and overclocking the cpu as well, another 200W.
Keep in mind also, the way the transient spikes are the protections on my RM850x have tripped a few times.

If it was a steady load the 850 could handle it fine, but the spikes drain the capacitors faster than they can replenish. Solution? Bigger capacitors like those found on higher power PSUs.

[errant sapphire]

So I just recently got an old desktop with a 1st gen intel i7 extreme edition. I want to get an upgrade in the near future and was wondering if specifically the psu and case would be compattible with much newer setups

[weary vine]

is it a prebuilt?

[errant sapphire]

it is not

the motherboard is the MSI X58A-GD45

[fierce pivot]

Yeah, idk if you'll want to reuse the psu or case

Tho

What psu and what case?

[errant sapphire]

the PSU is a 700 watt Thermaltake smart series

[fierce pivot]

yeah so you dont want to reuse that

[errant sapphire]

is it not compatible, seems like a big enough psu for any build I would do

[fierce pivot]

it is compatible its just crap

[weary vine]

its a bad psu

like can kill components bad

[errant sapphire]

oh, that sucks, and then the case is a cooler master

it looks decent and is very functional

[fierce pivot]

Which model lol?

[errant sapphire]

I'm not entirely sure

and I'm not seeing any labels aside from the brand

[fierce pivot]

Can you send a pic of it then mb?

[errant sapphire]

does it need to be sent in build pics?

[fierce pivot]

No you'll have to dm it to me tho you're not high level enough

[errant sapphire]

got it

[fierce pivot]

@errant sapphire that case would be fine to reuse yeah

[errant sapphire]

thanks, any build I will do is likely to be very low budget

so I'm hoping to save what I can

and the case has quite a few bells and whistles

[fierce pivot]

Yeah looks like a nice case especially for budget

[ripe zodiac]

Hey everyone, hope you all are having a great day/night wherever you are!

Having an issue with my power supply. I bought my build and set it up by August 30th, and recently it’s been shutting down randomly at times and I’m in school so when I do a paper, I’m lucky if it didn’t cut off at a bad time after saving constantly.

Today I was just on google chrome so I know it’s not the CPU being pushed too far. I’ve taken Ram sticks in and out in case that’s an issue, and doesn’t change anything so that’s why it leads me to believe it’s my power supply. Plus, this will happen when I try turning it on and it sometimes will quickly shut off. I think it’s the power cable because when I readjust it, it will sometimes come back on, sometimes I may need to wait (idk if that helps).

So do you all think it’s the power cable or the battery? (I don’t have any voltage tools to test if it’s a battery problem). From your experience you can let me know (this is my first build btw)

I have an CORSAIR RMx Series RM850x CP-9020180-NA 850W (2018)

If it’s a power cable issue, could someone shoot me a link to a highly recommended replacement cable so I don’t get the wrong one, that will mess with my school schedule waiting for another one after that mess up.

[fierce pivot]

can we get this list pinned btw, updated version of the ltt list

[wanton briar]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hsx8FniuFiM

Really neat looking case, comes with a front glass panel on it but also comes with the airflow front panel, comes with 4 ARGB fans which is also super neat.

Looks a lot like a 4000D though.

[sand atlas]

That's one of the best consumer power supplies, I highly doubt that it's the issue. What battery are you talking about? I didn't see you list anything that runs on a battery.

[ripe zodiac]

Doesn’t it have a battery in the rmx850? If not then it has to be the power cable right?

[sand atlas]

There's no battery in a desktop power supply, no.
The best thing to do for diagnostic here would be to start swapping parts, starting with the motherboard I'd say. If you don't have spare parts I recommend taking it to a local shop so they can figure out what the problem area is.

You could also try clearing your cmos first but I doubt that'll work

[worn rain]

Hey I have one of the pc011 dynamic razor cases from lian li does anyone know if the dynamic xl vertical mount kit will work in it also will my all my bottom fans still fit

[ripe zodiac]

Before I do that, this PC is new, all parts came in clean, and this issue only started happening recently which is why I believe it’s the power cable. I haven’t done anything to my PC to cause it to get fried or anything of that nature, and my temps are low when I’m not doing rendering and doing simple processes. So before I do that, I want to try a replacement cable, so do you know a replacement cable that’s for the Corsair RM850x?

[sand atlas]

Which cable? The 24 pin main connector or the cpu power 8 pin?

[ripe zodiac]

The main cable that connects to an outlet

[sand atlas]

Oh that one, they have those literally everywhere. They're universal. You can pick one up at a thrift store for 50 cents.

[fierce pivot]

Just any kettle lead will do, aim for 18 gauge or lower i believe if you're in America

[ripe zodiac]

Thanks both of you, I’ll try a brand on Newegg (no car right now), and just before I go, for this power supply or generally speaking, the volts don’t matter too much?

[fierce pivot]

Wdym about the voltage?

[wanton briar]

You mean wattage?

Voltage is the same on all PC power supplies

Other than 110 / 220 for different countries

[fierce pivot]

120/220 actually but yeah

[ripe zodiac]

Thanks! Just checking. Appreciate all of you and hope you have a wonderful day!

[wanton briar]

It's usually 110 or even 115 sometimes

Mains power itself is refered to as 110 alot of times

[fierce pivot]

Odd it's supposed to be 120..

[wanton briar]

Many switches I have seen say 110/220 or 115/220 sometimes

Mains voltage can be 110-120

[marble nimbus]

Should I get a 360mm aio with a td500 mesh or a planteks p400a digital with a 280mm aio (for top mounting)

[mild roost]

Doesn't P400A digital have 360 front rad support too?

Unless you really wanna keep the front fans

But with those options, I'd say td500 mesh

Then liquid freezer ii 360

[fierce pivot]

Get a p400a and front mount the 360

[mild roost]

^

[marble nimbus]

Yeah that’s what I’m thinking

I was told to do a top mount in it for some reason idk y

Also for the front mount do you think it’s fine to use the case fans with the p400a and use the other fans somewhere else or should I move them and use the aio fans

[fierce pivot]

Top mount is a bit better if size is same, but size more important than top or front

[fierce pivot]

I'd move them and use the aio fans, you can always get arctic liquid freezer rgb if you want some rgb at the front of your case

[marble nimbus]

Alr

I’m moving from a 120mm aio so big upgrade either way

[fierce pivot]

Definitely

Hello everyone. By any chance would any of you be able to help me diagnose a power up issue on my build?

i might do some research on this

[mild roost]

@scenic lance Segotep is actually fine

That one is decent psu

[ripe zodiac]

Hey everyone, wanted to know how people feel about Corsair Vs EVGA in terms of quality. This was my first pc build and I used pcpartpicker for a proper build, and my PSU I believe is faulty and it is a Corsair RM850x.

I am going to try to get a replacement but I also wanted to know if EVGA is more reliable, I’ve heard they are but I’m curious on any of your experiences between the two if you’ve had both too

I’m going to hope that when I do the replacement, that Corsair will send it first before I ship mine back to them because I’m a college student and I’ve had my pc shutdown randomly (not overheating) multiple times and during writing papers. It really sucks because it always feels like something randomly has to break down generally speaking you know? It’s life but sometimes it’s so frustrating when it gets to a certain point. I just want a clean setup without problems, and my parts are all new except a like new 2080 ti which performs amazing

[mild roost]

How'd it die?

Also EVGA makes many meh units actually

[fierce pivot]

corsair rmx is literally one of the best power supplies you can buy, you'd be extremely unlucky for it to be dead

Are you sure its the power supplys fault your pc is shutting down?

[mild roost]

^

[scenic lance]

[mild roost]

ik, that model isn't sus lol

the gp series are fine, they won't pop

[ripe zodiac]

I really do believe it’s the power supply because I haven’t tampered with anything for the two months of having my build. The reason I don’t think it’s the motherboard is because this issue only happened til recently and I haven’t seen any spikes or anything done to my PC to cause it to have some voltage malfunction or any thing of that kind. I do remember when I started my pc for the first time or two, I seated everything and it wouldn’t start up then I tried again and it turned on

Other than that, today I’m going to lift my cooler off and see if anything is wrong with my cpu and repaste it

[ripe zodiac]

If it turns on this morning, I will use event viewer to see if the errors and let you all know

[scenic lance]

@ripe zodiac are you using an amd cpu?

[ripe zodiac]

Intel 10900k 10 core

[scenic lance]

Oh alright

But yea you could try reseating the CPU

[ripe zodiac]

Yeah my PC isn’t starting anymore this morning

Great

[fierce pivot]

Yeah but segotep don't make any awful psus so imo you can generalise their that one brand lol

[fierce pivot]

[scenic lance]

My point was that at any time, a company could release a bad product. That's all lol

[fierce pivot]

Okay let us know how that goes

[ripe zodiac]

It didn’t start still

[fierce pivot]

Just out of curiosity have you tried clearing cmos

[ripe zodiac]

I usually use the two pins and hold a screwdriver to clear it

[fierce pivot]

Just try the battery method just incase, take out the battery, unplug the pc from the wall and wait about 3 mins

[ripe zodiac]

Got it now, I’ll keep it off for 3min and try again

[ripe zodiac]

It didn’t work either

It just turned on but this is still a bad sign because it’s like it’s coming on when it feels like it (I moved the power cable around and powered it back on)

Not turning on again

[fierce pivot]

Can you just reseat the power connections, sounds like something might be loose

[ripe zodiac]

I pushed the cable in my power supply on the other side in further, it was lose, I’m still going to monitor it and not get my hopes up

[fierce pivot]

Check event viewer in windows as well if it's working atm

[ripe zodiac]

Is this normal to you?

[fierce pivot]

Can you click into the kernel power errors

[ripe zodiac]

Yeah, it tells me in general details of course the power shuts off unexpectedly pretty much, but in details (friendly view), it says that the connected standby in progress is false, so does that mean there was not a complete seated connection?

[fierce pivot]

Can you send a pic?

[fierce pivot]

Can you show the general view tab instead

[fierce pivot]

@ripe zodiac can you try download whocrashed and run that, see what it says

[ripe zodiac]

Thanks! I’ll run that in a bit and monitor it for the whole day, or should I give it 48 hours and see if no shutdown occurs since I seated the back power supply cable in since it was a little loose?

[weary vine]

https://www.resplendence.com/download/whocrashedSetup.exe

direct download link

[fierce pivot]

Nah run it now, it reads the crash files

So you wont see anything more unless you crash again

Okay just installed it

Thanks for the link! And I clicked analyze, and it said no valid crash dumps have been found

[fierce pivot]

Hmm hopefully it was just that loose wire then

[ripe zodiac]

I hope so too, I’m going to cancel my request with Corsair when they message me since it takes them up to 2-3 days to reply back but that’s enough time to test and see how long this holds up

Thanks for your time and I’ll update you if anything changes!

Hey Team, looking for some help on connecting a fan hub to my Mobo. Anyone have the knowledge?

[fierce pivot]

Yeah so you'll have a 4 pin header, that's gonna go to any fan header on your motherboard and then connect the power to sata from the psu or something

[granite zinc]

I have the Sata connected... The fans are spinning, but no RGB. Looks like I have the option to use a 5V 3 pin or a GDV. Using MSI B550 Gaming Edge Wifi... Thought maybe the "JRAINBOW" plug but no luck

[fierce pivot]

Uhh do you mean a rgb hub for your fans instead?

[granite zinc]

The hub support 4 fans... 4 fan plugs and 4 RGB plugs all in the same hub

[fierce pivot]

Ahh so it should have 2 different cables then, 1 for the fans pwm 4 pin header than will make the fans spin and a different cable for the rgb

The only plugs I have are a 3 pin 5v (same plug you use for a Corsair RGB fan) so I assume that's the RGB aspect... But I also have a GDV (ground data voltage) 3 pin as well. Let me see if I can link you some photos

Awh discord won't let me link

@fierce pivot DMed you a photo

[fierce pivot]

Ahh you are right those fans will be just running at 100% as that hub has no control over the fans

[sand atlas]

Set the header to DC mode instead of PWM

[granite zinc]

Hmm... That's okay for now! What about the RGB hook ups? I'm not getting any lights

[sand atlas]

If they're DC fans on a PWM hub

[fierce pivot]

They sent me pics there is not even a dc header

[granite zinc]

The fans and hub came with the case I assume they're compatible

[fierce pivot]

Yeah so you were right, you should plug it into one of the rgb connectors on your board

[granite zinc]

RGB connectors being the 5v 3pin. I have a "JRAINBOW" slot (3 pin) and a "JRGB" slot (4pin)

[fierce pivot]

3 pin then

[granite zinc]

Hmm.. that's what I tried... Still nothing. Have one more piece of info you should know lol (I might have screwed up) I plugged the GDV connector into a fan slot and turned on the PC. It sparked and caused smoke (powered down immediately)... Might have fried the hub?

[fierce pivot]

Possibly lol

[granite zinc]

The fans are still spinning though! (Sata powered) just no RGB

[fierce pivot]

Yeah the fans are just going brr at 100% cuz just directly hooked up to power soo

Probs just fried the rgb part if anything fried

[granite zinc]

What is the best PSU that is 650w 80+ bronze and is not more than 55€ (63USD$)?
I read lot of review on cooler master ones and everyone says that they're loud/fan make strange noises
So are there other options?

Plz tag me when you reply
Ty

[fierce pivot]

What country? No point currency converterting

Also for what specs?

Might want a better one than 55€

[wanton briar]

Seasonic Focus GX was on sale awhile ago

Currently $180

It is 140mm

1300W what

[mild roost]

Why do you need something like 1000w+?

Running a 3090?

Ah, fair

[wanton briar]

Yes

1300W Prime GX is 170mm

I think the Focus GX is the best PSU that is 1000W and compact

There is also the EVGA SuperNOVA 1000 G5 which is 150mm

But I would personally go with the Seasonic

It's just white

I had no clue Seasonic made white PSUs tbh

[oblique flare]

psu

https://www.hanoicomputer.vn/nguon-aero-cool-lux-rgb-750w-80-plus-bronze-mau-den-led-rgb

or ? https://cuonganhpc.vn/nguon-may-tinh-cooler-master-mwe-650-bronze-v2.html

first one has rgb man ngl

[sand atlas]

D tier, not suitable for systems with a GPU

[sand atlas]

Low B tier, good for up to a 3070

[oblique flare]

factor in rgb yet?

[oblique flare]

wow damn really

well pay a lil extra then

[sand atlas]

It might get a little coil whiny under high/low load but it'll work nicely

[oblique flare]

wait

good ?

i already have an ssd

[mild roost]

yep

[oblique flare]

1.598,01 usd is the price

[mild roost]

but the ram

big bottleneck

[oblique flare]

2x

bought 2 of them

[mild roost]

well

that's fine then

[oblique flare]

if it wasnt for mobo i will be able to cut it down to only 1.350usd

i forgot the fans also

[mild roost]

the cpu comes with a cooler already

it's fine if you can't pay for it

as long as the case's good

[oblique flare]

https://cuonganhpc.vn/vo-case-xigmatek-nyx-3f-rgb-en43057.html ?

wait did i choose the wrong form factor

[mild roost]

front glass

oof

also yes

the mobo is atx

case is micro atx max

you have to look for mesh front

[oblique flare]

https://www.hanoicomputer.vn/vo-case-xigmatek-mercury-midtower-mau-den-mat-luoi-en43866

they didnt say i have to buy a case from them to get a gpu for discount

[mild roost]

is it locked to any specific ones?

or just any from em?

[oblique flare]

no

[mild roost]

https://cuonganhpc.vn/vo-case-xigmatek-master-x-3fx.html

i would get this instead

[oblique flare]

huh ok

[mild roost]

cheaper, has fans by default

[oblique flare]

dang nice

bang for buck

wait fans ?

thats just the picture i believe

[mild roost]

yes

it should come with 3 fans if it's shown like that lol

[oblique flare]

Trước: 3 x 120mm ( Chưa kèm theo )
Sau: 1 x 120mm ( Chưa kèm theo )
Trên: 2 x120mm ( chưa kèm theo)

nope

i need 6 fans ?

[mild roost]

the official specs in the page of the case has 3 on front

no

[oblique flare]

3 front 2 top 1 exhausted

[oblique flare]

idk they could just mumble jumbo the fans out

[mild roost]

Eh, I wouldn't say they'd do it

[oblique flare]

they say it doesnt have fans so idk

[oblique flare]

dis

[mild roost]

look at it reviews if there's any

[oblique flare]

https://cuonganhpc.vn/vo-case-sama-3708-3-fan-rgb.html ?

[oblique flare]

there isnt as with all the people here they dont review stuff

[mild roost]

hmn

sadly

well that one would be fine

[oblique flare]

3 fans

[mild roost]

that's better then

[oblique flare]

do i still need another 3 fans ?

[mild roost]

lol no

[oblique flare]

well ok

[mild roost]

it just tells you where you can add more

you don't really need to use all of it

[oblique flare]

wut

wait so i get my normal fans and then 3 more ?

[mild roost]

you get the fans that comes with the case

[oblique flare]

i believe thats not how it works cause they would be bankrupt with that pricing

[mild roost]

then the rest of the mounting spots allows you to add more

that's what they tell you

[oblique flare]

Quạt trước: 3x12cm Cyclone Rainbow RGB (lắp sẵn)

3 front fans (preinstalled)

[mild roost]

ye

[oblique flare]

rest is (optional)

[mild roost]

That's right

[oblique flare]

so like

[mild roost]

You don't need to add more, 3 is fine enough on front

[oblique flare]

yea but the top ? back?

[mild roost]

eh

It's optional

[oblique flare]

alright then

[mild roost]

It won't be bad doing with the case as is atm

With such specs

[oblique flare]

i dont need to buy like cables for psu right it would just come with one

hopefully same can be said with the display

@fierce pivot

[sand atlas]

The PSU usually comes with all the cables you'll need, and most Gigabyte monitors come with one HDMI and one DP cable

[tame cape]

500w 80+ bronze means ~82%500 = min. 410w is not enough for my build

@fierce pivot

[fierce pivot]

What no that's not how it works

[tame cape]

No? Oooh...

But I always read that 80+ bronze gives you min 82% efficiency guaranteed

[fierce pivot]

Nope that figure is how efficient it is at pulling power from the wall, so 80+bronze means at certain percentages of uses of the power supply it's x efficient at pulling power from the wall then converting it 1:1 to dc

So 82-85% of the power drawn from the wall is usable basically

[tame cape]

So 500w white/bronze/gold/silver will always be enough for my 410w build??

[fierce pivot]

Well how did you calculate 410w lol? But don't get 80+ white bare minimum, get the one i linked but yeah a 500w psu is enough for a 1070 build

[tame cape]

No no
White no

https://outervision.com/power-supply-calculator

410w

Maybe 410w is a BIT too much

Maybe he counted my 8 fans as 12v 1A
=96watts

[fierce pivot]

Nah psu calcs are notoriously bad at realistic wattages

[tame cape]

Btw 410 is the limit when it is under load

[fierce pivot]

But 500w is enough for your system

[tame cape]

Ty

So a 500w bronze is fine

Because I now have a bomb

[fierce pivot]

Bronze doesn't mean crap for quality but yes
