cause if I am going to watercool I want to go all out with a zen6 x3d ngl
unless 12+ core 9000x3d is really good
It almost never is unless you have a hardware issue with the cooler
Like failing heatpipes
Dead fans
It also makes reselling more annoying
Medusa Ridge (next gen after the current new) is supposed to have 12 cores per CCD, including X3D ones
didnt you say take that leak with grain of salt since it was moores law is dead

Yes that was the original source, but it does make sense and now there's more than him reporting it
9000x3d wont have any changes to core layout correct
Correct it's the same as previous gens
I think I have a current leak somewhere

My KS PC is doing the 7950X3D crap @knotty sparrow
It's stuttering
Maybe it's the extra monitor
Hmm
Nope
Possible, I've been getting monitor flicker on my secondary too. I need to try that fix buildzoid talked about on a recent vid.
No it's not the monitor
Which is pretty much just "set tRAS to 120 because it doesn't affect performance"
It's not the camera
The heck
I might need to DDU maybe
Getting microstutter but not probalance
Heh, All that fun with the monitors might ahve caught up with me

The "it makes sense" part comes from this:
The TSMC N3E node offers a 20% speed improvement, over 30% power savings, and approximately 60% logic density increase over TSMC N5
If they can pack 60% more into the same space it would track that they can pack 50% more cores onto a CCD
thats insane
I can wait until the end of next year when it'll be finally available with consistent stock 4 months after launch
I'd deadass wait outside microcenter for something like a 11950x3d or whatever its gonna be called
That would be a 24c/48t monstrosity
espically if I stay on my 7600 until then
It'll be good though the core count won't be the main reason
The IMC change will be
We've had the same IMC since 5000
Right the IO die is getting upgraded too
IMC?
Integrated Memory Controller
Esp. when it's been IMC limited for several gens
there are so many acronyms for everything fr
Decoupling the fclk from uclk was a big step forward too
If you run fast enough you can viably do uclk div2 mode without a real latency penalty
not exactly the same industry, but there was a paper written about how papers had too many very technical acronyms that you're expected to know, but you have to be an industry veteran in that specific area of study to even understand the terms without looking it up 
My favourite acronym is the TWAIN printing tech
My favorite is PHP
It goes around in an infinite loop
PHP
Hypertext
Preprocessor
TWAIN and TWAIN Direct are application programming interfaces (APIs) and communication protocols that regulate communication between software and digital imaging devices, such as image scanners and digital cameras. TWAIN is supported on Microsoft Windows, Linux and Mac OS X.
The three key elements of TWAIN are:
Application software. For example...
The P stands for PHP ๐

Nooooooo
Wind can be used for cooling ig
i just opened wegg
crazy comment lmao
We've been off topic for a while now it's all good lol
rip
Lesson to be had here is always take the warnings seriously
absolutely
i checked the path
Even the invisible ones can be dangerous
the supercell went DIRECTLY over our complex
and i mean directly
it just never touched ground
it only just sank on me on how some houses dont have a concrete foundation
yalls houses really be sitting on sticks
Ye ik, you described it at the time lol
low income state, a lot of mobile homes
true but i was also directly in the middle of it
lol
Yeah mobile homes are often the site of many tragedies
i wonder how many houses in the neighbourhood was tornado proof/resistant
The Sacramento river is flooded right now (we finally got the rain we were missing from the last 2 months... all at once) and people are refusing to follow the evacuation orders. Homes are washing away. Hope they're doing ok but it could be a darwin award moment.
if it had touched down where we were with how strong it was there is a very strong chance i wouldnt be here talking to yall right now
or had a tornado shelter i mean

more images from it, it tore straight through concrete
IDK STOP IT

give me that face leak
You'd think you'd learn to stop throwing rocks at them
ME NEITHER
real
Well it's pretty much just loading a restore point so be ready for no image and going back to safe mode ๐
felix teaches me new methods of breaking a computer every month
or rather
ways a computer can break every month
because i still have no clue how it happens
i just know it can happen now

felix, the professional of causing avant-garde pc problems
They should pay me to beta test crap
you'll be so unlucky that you'll find no problems
and then they'll release it and it explodes for everyone else
u saying u don't know what happened is scary
He gets the weirdest issues that no one has ever seen before
Ok I found the microstutter issue
Apparently the windows rollback thing is cos I triggered safe mode
My microstutter is coming from my hdmi cable
I knew it
HDMI sucks frfr
And it wasn't happening before? Weird timing
Dp superiority

Tbh
I prefer SDI over display port, but nobody is making a SDI GPU, at least for gaming or whatever
Nor any monitors with it (for desktop use)
Bring back the USB C port on the GPU
We have monitors that can use that as video input now
80Gbps link with the right cable
Yep I have a dead hdmi cable
Old xbox one
It's not dead dead but it's causing massive stutters specifically
I don't even wanna unplug it ugh

But I isolated it to the cable
Damn
Maybe that's what was causing that weird fan crap ages ago
Just now it's like really noticeable
...huh???
Problem only Felix has #3586
You don't remember me showing ralic
I'm learning of even more weird tech problems of Felix
I'd plug my cables up and I'd have no power in the KS rig
But one of the fans
Would start spinning

It's not contagious smh
I have no proof that it isnt otherwise
Maybe they've been exposed so long that they've developed antibodies
Dude the cable that died is like 12 years old
I am not surprised it finally kicked
I've got a fun one. Vista era computer, new PSU.
Computer refuses to turn on fully, it power cycles infinitely whenever you press the power button.
Change PSU. Same problem. Change CPU. Same problem. Change motherboard. Same problem. Change RAM. SAME PROBLEM.
Nothing is plugged in except power from the wall, 24 pin, and EPS. It's an entirely different computer at this point, still infinitely power cycles.
Yeah
12 years ago the antibodies didn't exist
I had this issue last year
I figured out what it was
Cable vdroop
We found the solution to the philosophical question
Yes it's the same ship
It still don't work
All cables have been swapped, including wall power
If the 12v is too low then a pc won't even try to boot properly
Powerboard the same or nah
Change monitor?
Change all cables?
Change all peripherals?
Nothing is plugged in
Same issue straight from wall as on the power bar
Same power point?
?
I literally took my known good CX650 out of my server, including the known good wall cable, and it still cycled
I plugged my server into the same outlet, it worked fine
Unplugged everything else from that outlet pair too
But you had the minimum kbm and monitor right
You can't post without input devices
No video is a post error, so is no keeb
99 and 92
I had a PS/2 keyboard, it posts without a monitor
Id imagine you aren't using a psu with a manual voltage selector and you aren't running it on the 220v sstting
So it does post
Same storage?
Same fans?
Fans unplugged except CPU cooler, which was also swapped
So you posted with same keeb?
It works on other computers and worked on that computer before
No keyboard works right now, it shuts off before it gets to initialize anything
Less than one second of power
Then cycles
Off, on for one second, off...
Is the case the same
Hmmm....
Yes but I also tested with just a motherboard box
See I thought button too and jumped the pins
Still cycles
Did you remount the cooler
Multiple times
Have you tried keyboard out
Jumpers in the right positions? If that even matters? If the board is old enough to have jumpers?
Jumpers did not change between the time it worked and didn't
Are there any adapters
But what about for the new board
Power or otherwise
Both boards
Mysterious
No
I wasn't able to move it at the time
No GPU currently, except integrated
I can't even confirm if the PCIe slot works
Another outlet would rule out basically everything
Even if other stuff works out of it, electricity is really fickle
You said storage unplugged, was it just the sata data cable or was it also power
SATA and power
Does the board have pcb protection
Drive is known working when I checked it on my USB to SATA adapter
Like have you ever noticed any dust from the cooler screws or case standoffs
Metal flakes
There are no screws for the cooler, they're the old push peg design and made of plastic
Yeah one cooler broke in the process here
Yes, vertical on a desk
Hm
It's a modern case too, double checked all the standoffs are in the right place
Anything else on the circuit besides that plug specifically
I don't have the tools to test that
You can't switch off part of the house?
I really hate accidentally turning off my server ๐ญ
It takes 15 minutes to start up and my network depends on it now
Mmmmmm
Circuit tester 100
I was pissed when the maintenance guy was replacing an outlet in the bathroom (it wasn't GFCI, right next to the sink) and he turned off the breaker clearly labeled "living room" and not "bathroom"
๐
What, you don't have the throne in the living room? Are you really living without it in the living room
Only other thing I can think of is there a switch on the board
Like an ln2 type switch
Some have specific startup switches that let you boot in a contained manner instead of default
Ln2 mode is just an example
Oh
The power cycling does sound like it's from some sort of short, but where it's coming from idk
Imagine if it's not working because a bit flipped
I checked for burst capacitors too before you say it
Yeah you know what I'm turning up nothing now, you've changed basically everything
Except the wall plug
You gotta change the street transformer
Well no I mean like

I've had certain things behave badly with specific wall plugs before
Even if it should work it refuses
I think that's more common in places with dirty power rather than the receptacle type? Though if it's worn out too much it could cause a bad contact, but I think that's more of a fire hazard than a "makes PC power cycles"
fwiw I have tried both outlets
No
That can be enough
Ok
Damn
My brain has run out
Wdym by wall plugs affecting it exactly ๐ง
I gave up on it a while ago and chalked it up to a ghost in the machine. I'm going to get a new (old) computer.
Rusty contact, old worn cables
Maybe water
"Wear and tear"
Really
Talking about the wall btw
Not the PC
When I was installing home security I saw an outlet where someone had their treadmill in it and they said it stopped working one day so they switched outlets. I tested the bad one... 105V
The good one was 118V
Even just bad contact
Like the plug doesn't set well
I've seen some weird stuff man
Damn crazy voltage drop, assuming nominal is 120v there
Lmao
Yes, 110V is the minimum for a lot of electronics and even the ones that say 105V won't like it when you put a load on it and it droops to 102.
That's basically what I was saying at the start with vdroop
PC'
PC's are the same
Too low out of spec, no start
I genuinely have a fried brain thinking about that vista riddle
Lmao
Ima break
Also yeah I got what you meant now
I kinda somehow forgot about voltage drop
From a bad receptacle
Mostly because I just expect what basically is just a bus bar or whatever it's called to just work
Some (somewhat unlikely) scenarios I could imagine are
- PSUs too old and are dead/dying
- connectors are not standard pinout and are shorting (though why would they use the same connectors if it wasn't compatible? I think this is probably the least likely)
- jumper on the wrong header causing it to short circuit and trip something
- conductive debris in the io?
What I'm fairly confident in is that short power cycling is probably some sort of power issue
Agreed
I'm out of ideas for what other power related issues could cause this now lmao
PSUs are a P850GM and a 650 GQ, both work on my server which draws more power.
They worked previously.
Those damn ghosts emitting too much emf inducing current and causing the protection to trip
If it was a short then it wouldn't power cycle, it would shut off and I would need to reset the power supply
Or it would just explode, because P-GM
Lmao
Also a motherboard might have built in short circuit protection that might trip, rather than the PSU tripping, though idk how applicable that is for older boards
We get that part but also the symptom is 10000% power
I agree it sounds like power of some kind
That's why I listed like, every possible part in mankind tryna figure out if anything was retained lmao
It does ring a little similar to the problem I had with the grey screen tho
I changed every single part
The problem did not go away
Changed it all back
Problem did go away
Like ????
But then it reappeared and I confirmed it was vdroop over the eps
The angry pixies did a little trolling
I'd prefer to have an XP or older machine anyway. No compatibility mode needed for retro games.
I could get a cpu with a motherboard that has blown caps and change those out pretty easily with solid caps
Maybe
Oh god

I just
Checked every cable
Zero correlation
But when that monitor is specifically plugged into the gpu
It goes haywire
????
Different device
4K120hz
No issue
Tf
Checked every port and it's still doing the same thing
Meaning it's gpu side but how
Felix issue #3892
Unless you test monitor with another GPU that is same arch (ideally same model), it can still be monitor. Could be smth weird like monitor has weird grounding issues but specific GPU model has missing grounding pins in video port
Mobos from that era just POST error and stay on when no CPU/RAM/storage/etc right? If so, test both boards like that.
I am considering possibility of mobo was dead and killed CPU, which then killed other mobo, and other CPU was killed by one of dead mobos.
I suspect it's something to do with the cpu/io because this is usually how it goes with ryzen bs on windows
Seeing it at least once or twice on Intel wouldn't surprise me whatsoever
When you get a bad usb device it can very easily just happen to stutter really badly
Yep happened again
Man ryzen can be ass sometimes
Starting to really damper my feelings for it
3 separate computers 3 similar issues on short notice
They really ought to address this
Idk if it's a windows issue or not but when you don't change anything at all then it just appears it's sus
I never had usb issues
I haven't had usb issues recently either

All i know is it was expensive
Sounds right
Also watercooling in itx builds and what not im sure will stick around
Water-cooling my Ryzen 4070
I air cool my stuff in a micro atx
I definitely have noticed what he meant by costs going up.
I remember when I looked into a decent 360mm loop for a cpu it was like only $400 6 years ago. now that costs like $600 easily for a basic kit it feels.
Cos we are reaching as I said 100 times now
A point where watercooling provides basically nothing nowadays
The moment aios get qdcs, that's the end of custom loops
At that point you could just buy two aios, slap them together, loop
Alphacool already has this type of lineup and it works well enough
$35 thermalright peerless assassin 120
What does qdcs stand for? Quick Disconnect?
Fair.
Hey guys I got 1 more really dumb question for today. The arctic liquid freezer 3 argb fans, can I make those just white?
Ok thatโs what I wasnโt sure about, it shows the โcolor wheelโ in one of the pics and white wasnโt there so I was thinking maybe not able too
And are p12 maxes fans?
You can pick any colour and the leds will cycle like christmas lights if you want them to
But you can also pick any colour
Make them do stuff like flash
Make rain effects
Meteors
Sliding door effects
The world of rgb, at your fingertips lol
Oh wow really? lol kinda cool but also unnecessary for me lol
Is there a hub I have to download?
Hmm ok Iโll see how the thermals look
I bought the antec flux pro so it has 6 stock fans plus Iโm looking at buying the 420 liquid freezer for the 9800x3d I figure that will be pretty damn cold lol
You don't need that much aio
Also
I'm not sure 420mm fits in flux pro
Where can i go for pc help
420mm usually doesn't
Really? I looked it up it said yes
Sorrry itโs flux pro
Oh my mistake
And really I watched a vid that said the 420 gave best frame times and they are all onsale rn so it was only like 20$ more
It's bigger than I recalled my bad
Nah better frame times is a weird way to say it
The 420 will be as cold as any old 360mm
Youโre good bro! Trust me I need the remindersโฆ swapped a cpu today and forgot to update bios..
9800X3D is easily cooled by a dual tower it doesn't need a 420mm
Source: I own one
Hmm ok thatโs good to know
Iโve never done AIO
Figured Iโd try it out while they are on sale bc everyone says arctic is really good
You can buy yourself a nice aio if you want but the expectation should be you'll get basically identical performance to a good dual tower
And some 360mm thermalrights trade blows with the large arctic aios
Same with fx360 pro
So to me it's like, spend $60 max on 9800X3D cooling
Any higher is just pretty looks and no functional benefit
If you set the chip up correctly you can use an amd stock cooler on it no problems
Barely any performance loss
So like, you can use any range of cooler quite easily it just depends on your preferences
Dang ok thatโs insane. Was it the 7800x3d that was made to target like 95c?
98 doesnโt do that right?
I have a scythe 2 (I think) in the current build for a 5600x, probably massive overkill itโs been great
Other way around, the 7800X3D maxes at 89C and the 9800X3D is 95
They both do that
Yeah
They both target tjmax
It's just AMD's age old boost algorithm
Fuma 2?
Thatโs it!
Ok cool thats actually good to know!
Oh Idky I thought that was different, silly question but does that mean the more you can keep it cold the higher it will ramp?
Sorry if thatโs a noob question
Like target a higher frequency
Kinda
But it's in the sense of like
To a point
After that
Diminishing returns
So like to me a good dual tower is more or less good enough
Ahh ok that makes a ton of sense! I assume it would be more โsustainableโ
You could really push a 360 aio if you really wanted too, you'd gain maybe a couple %
It's just sorta redundant
Ight and the 420 would basically do nothing right?
I wanna try an AIO for this build, might be a waste but I wanted to do a โcleanerโ look
If you can keep it at or below 60C you'll get the most out of the CPU, but it's only about a 3% improvement overall. You need to get it below -20C for it to really work at the peak.
Essentially yeah
I mean you can do it if you really want
Tbh lf3, 420mm at that, it'll last, and you can service them
I have the LFII 420 and it does basically nothing but run at 800 rpm all day, even with an all core workload
For one and done it's not a terrible idea
Yeah
It's really overkill unless you yeet the hell out of these chips
Even then it's still kinda a bit much lol
Hmm sounds like a challenge. lol jk no liquid nitrogen over here
Yeah you'll be putting 1000% effort in for maybe a few %
Imo the scythe would be fine
If you're not satisfied using the scythe, consider the lf3 then
300% money for 3 fps
Yeah
lol yea thatโs fair enough
I mean again, good aio, repairable, will get updated
Not the worst idea if you truly want it
Updated?
Yeah arctic is one of those brands that offers updates to older coolers
Noctua also does this
And wait I can repair it? Do they actually make it possible for me to repair the pump or something?
Most do but those two more than others
Or add fluid?
You can open them up easily to flush and refill
Oh thatโs pretty damn cool
Repairing...I guess I slipped my words there, the lf2 you could, not sure about lf3 repair ability
Well damn looks like I have more homework to do.. i thought it was basically gonna be good for 5 years and then dead
Just replace fans right?
Maybe Iโll keep it then, it works fine itโs like 4.5 years old. So would save me like 100$ on the build canโt imagine the fans would be more then like 20$ each
Lmao really?
Pick the right ones yeah
Damn ok
Maybe Iโll hold off on it and Iโll try it out. Ohh.. will it work with AM5? Or do I have to buy a brace thing
Whoops
Whoop
Lol no worries
Dude I really appreciate it
It's ok I learn a little myself every time
Like the flux pro supports 420
๐ฅ
Lol
Lmao useless now tho
Yea I have the lian li mesh 2 I think rn. Itโs been super sold I love it. Gonna give it to my wife to use

@weary raft how are the Corsair Hydro XR5 radiators?
3rd of the price of a HPE-45 radiator from alphacool.
With back connect motherboards becoming more and more popular, we set out to create a clean and elegant build using the MSI Z790 Project Zero motherboard.
00:00โ - Build
04:51 - Filling
05:59 - Showcase

so clean
Agreed.

Dude
Tl b12 probably one of the best buys I have made
Cpu at 100% load and I couldnt even hear the fan
My side panel was off
The difference is exaggerated because the arctic p12 i had was a dud so it made more noise than it should have
Oh the heating was on thats why I heard nothing
Wow so the amazon reviewers were right. there really is a hum between 40-50%
zamn
@strange flume so I got the build set up with the fuma2. Currently running cinebench all core test and itโs holding at like 88.5c I feel like thatโs a bit much no?
That's fine. Cinebench is a harder load than you'll ever see in the real world.
Ok cool literally had me scared. Single core it runs at like 52c
Is it normal to have some spike to around 80c in gaming? If it sits around 60-70 most of the time?
Yes, when there's a load spike it will take a second or two to ramp the fan up to compensate
Iโm coming from a 5600x with same cooler so it never really happened (idt)
Ok cool good to know. I got a massive lag spike in the first map I ran of POE I assume thatโs the PC figuring itself out or maybe it was server side not sure
It was probably loading shaders
Oh yea, didnโt even think about that actually. That explains why it spun up to like 80c loading the map
Iโve seen some people say undervolting the 9800x3d is a good idea any thoughts?
Are you doing PBO or manual overclocking?
Yeah donโt cpus have some safety mechanism that can kick in with cinebench because of the load? Also like furmark
I wasnโt doing anything it was just a thought if the temp was climbing that high. Iโve seen some people saying a slight undervolt (I guess manual in the bios) gave improvements
idk what cpu you have, but amd rates their 7800x3d's maxiumum safe operating temperature as 89c
so you're pretty much just at the max recommended temperature (perhaps the cpu is throttling slightly
any modern cpu though (made within the last.... around 20 years?) has an automatic shutoff to prevent it from cooking itself though
9800x3d
Ight cool. Max temp I could hit in cinebench was about 82c all core. Feels a bit warm but I suppose it technically still has room
It's designed to run at full boost all the way to the thermal limit
Ok cool so as long as itโs not hitting 95 itโs boosting?
Basically it will push as hard as it can until it hits a thermal limit or current limit i think so you are fine
If you are really worried then do a negative curve optimizer
Whatโs this mean?
A negative co offset means you send less voltage to the cpu
That's as high...actually maybe even higher? Than my own one with a 360mm aio mate
You're perfectly fine, 89C is well within spec
Ok cool I was worried it was getting to hot. Scored like 22k not sure how good or bad that is
Ahh yea thatโs what I was thinking, I saw a few vids of ppl saying it was a good idea but Iโve never done it before
Yeah its pretty easy
you can do it in the bios or install ryzen master
you can have ryzen master make its own curve
9000 series has the upgraded curve shaper too
Yeah thats what it was called for zen 5
Basically you can have ryzen master run its optimization, go eat something and when you come back your profile will be done if you dont want to do any tinkering
I let it make a curve on its own and it cut my power draw by like 40%
Oh damn thatโs kinda insane. Did tht impact performance? Or just reduced the draw
hmm ryzen master says doesnt support the processor. maybe i gotta update it
hmm looks like it wont even let me download it. keeps sayin unable to launch incorrectly downloaded, aborting. but im literally just downloading it like normal
Yeah performance didnโt change at all
Maybe try to delete that old installation and download the new installer
Yea I had to do that restart redownload restart then it worked. Idk what the -50 means.
But I ran it at that with an offset of 0 I think
It told me that wasnโt allowed for some reason. I did -50 on each core and then 0 offset which seemed like it might have forced the -50?
it kept crashing on me. i reverted settings and uninstalled. still crashes when i load up Cinebench
Did you reboot yet or nah
Yea multiple times bc itโs crashing and freezing
It seems like the changes arenโt reverted, yesterday when I qued up cinebench it got to 83cish
Today not going about 66 still
Ahh ok thatโs prob it
Yeah if you have it disabled the stock settings will override
Like before I had it on, ryzen master had to keep applying the profile
I turned it on in bios and my ryzen master profile sticks even on linux
Where would I see that?
Every uefi has a different menu but pbo is prob gonna be in the oc section
I donโt even see pbo. I have performance boost set to auto and TDP to 105W off
Ok try this
Performance preset set to auto also
Reinstall it and do the optimize feature
But that one seems to give me a choice to turn PBo on
Let the program make its own curve and come back to it later
Did you set it to -50 earlier yourself
So it wouldnโt do that either way, I just had a validate option not an optimize button (unless Iโm blind)
Ight im redownloading too
Ok
Oh I donโt have that
Hmm so maybe its a little different with new boards
Try it and see what happens
Its probably the same thing
i did that
thats was -50 on all cores and tehn the diff offset thing at 0. it crashes on cinebench now
even when i had it uninstalled temps stayed at about 65 today and 83ish yesterday
does that mean that maybe it did something to the bios?
Yeah what it seems like does is that it makes your bios apply the settings. Did you try the all core function or did you only do per core
I did all core on mine
Try all core
Not sure what gfx is but type in -30 and see what happens
Not sure why it did -50 on everything because not all cores all the same
It was like โyeah lets do the lowest possible number and see what happensโ

gfx seems like its short for graphics
even for the all core i have to put in between -50 and 0 but thats all core
Yeah try -30 and see what happens
Hmm so it seems like it reverted somehow after a few more restarts and im able to run cinebench. I have more questions now but I suppose they are appropriate for OC chat
Yea getting back up to 85c
Thatโs all core testingz looks like temp might actually be throttling it
So i got a quick question, how can I figure out what way are my fans intaking and exhausting? I am using a lian li 011 vision case and aio a gallahad II lcd sl 360mm now I am looking at the infinity fan facing the inside of the pc, where are those fans blowing?
Unless they're reverse blade fans, this is pretty universal
I don't know what universal is since this is my first build 
I meant the picture was universal, with the exception of reverse blade fans
Ah ok gotcha
i mean u could also reverse the polarity of the power
and you'll get a change in direction
technically yeah
though the fan blades are optimized for one specific spinning direction
for custom loops who are like the leading brands now that EK isn't
seems like thermaltake has alot of stuff
Alphacool, optimus, heatkiller
Bargain bin corsair can be nice too
Sometimes
Hwlabs
TT is ok
Sometimes I see ridiculous discounts
EK was pretty rarely worthwhile. Anyways, some other companies are Supercool, Icemancooling, Barrow, Bykski, Bitspower, Sometimes can just go for random companies for other things, like reservoirs (I have some random Juulasen one lol).
Oh yeah bykski and barrow
What's the best 240 or 280mm AIO for LGA1700 under $60? (RGB unnecesary, USA)
could do 360mm too if needed
this is what I have been using for almost a year now, as my first AIO, no complaints, swapped fans for some ringed rgb ones, thermalright has a bunch of really good budget AIOs and fans though, def look there
Yeah if you're set on an AIO over air cooling I'd get something from thermalright
i have a phantom spirit
but wanna get a aio
Why
moving to dan a3
mATX btw
but it does 280
can fit 360mm with my psu and gpu
with a 360mm it limits my gpu to 320mm or something
but i have a 7900xt thats 308mm
so we good
it does
since i move the pc around a lot - even in a suitcase - a aio would be more stable
also idk its kinda cool
Can anyone help me please? This temperature here just goes upp for no reason, I have no programs open just discord
My pc is also laggy af
My pc also automatically turns off
Anyone help please my pc sounds like a airplane
I just applied new thermal paste but seem not working
How can I check?
You forgot to plug in the pump then
It'll vibrate if it runs
What pump?
Also sorry if Iโm confusing but idk this stuff
It was perfect yesterday no problems at all today morning I turned on and yeah this happened
Was it like this before or after repaste
Check your lcd cables are plugged in
One of those is a pump cable
If they all are then the aio is dead
The fans are running good how can it be dead?
Cos the fans aren't the things that move the water
Impossible that the cables or not in because I have not even moved the pc
Water no move = water at cpu boils
You repasted it
You cannot repaste without moving it
Yeah but this problem was before I pasted
Ok lemme see
Lemme move the pc a sec

@strange flume
Everything is connected except this
But it has been unconeccted since I built it
Like 1 year ago
At it was perfectly running
Then the pump is dead
Whatโs the solution?
I bought it like 10 months ago you think I can get new one? For free?
I didnโt buy it directly from nzxt because there is no delivery to my country
Can I still contact them?
Wait lemme see
Each country has different laws
Love dead pumps
And each country does warranty different
It was this one I bought but white https://www.proshop.se/CPU-flaektar/NZXT-Kraken-360-Black-RGB-CPU-Vattenkylare-Max-31-dBA/3130778?_gl=1*1xlbcqh*_up*MQ.._gsMQ..&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI3Nqzx8jUiwMV-FiRBR20GBhHEAAYASAAEgJpvPD_BwE&gbraid=0AAAAADl5oReO3Bd0512hY_Xda6asHsK-Z
XFX made an offical waterblock???!?!
that looks so good
they did one for 6950 xt too 
wish i could find one in stock

Any recommendations for quiet but efficient fans? The ones on my Mystique AIO sound like a semi truck when they spin up.
240mm AIO, but I also wouldn't mind replacing my case fans if there are some that are generally much more efficient
I also kind of broke one of my front fans while blowing my computer out
Something something thermalright. See the flow chart in the pins.
The infinity mirror (also sometimes called an infinite mirror) is a configuration of two or more parallel or angled mirrors, which are arranged to create a series of smaller and smaller reflections that appear to recede to infinity. Often the front mirror of an infinity mirror is half-silvered (a so-called one way mirror), but this is not requir...
that chart is honestly such an amazing ad for thermalright then just need to post that on their socials lmao
love my fans and aio from them

That fan likely uses pwm as well, assuming it has adjustable speed
Lil dude
3 adjustable speeds
so possibly
i really think i should put some slim fans below my gpu
gpu is just about 25mm above the bottom
any cheap reccomendations for a slim fan
just to try it out?
or should i just buy a $50 vertical bracket w/ pcie 4.0
i think my gpu is struggling to get air through the filter thats like 25mm away
That fan could possibly be doing more harm than good
Cause the gpu exhausts out the sides
dont worry im not using it lol
just my gpu definitely not getting enough air in
i do have 2 outtake right above/infront of it
those pull out all the hot air
but the gpus fighting to pull air from the bottom with no intake fans
My experience with fans under the gpu in a small case with low gpu clearance to the bottomwas that they didn't really help. But they weren't slim
Slim might give better results
yeah my arctic p12s are like slightly too big to fit under gpu
probably would but the gpu would be resting on them
so if i get something like 15mm it would leave 10mm of space
Here's the clearance mine had
Probably close to 10mm, maybe a bit more
Though tbf the fans didn't line up great under the gpu
yeah id line them up perfect
might not even put 3
maybe just 1 slim fan
to get some air in
just tryna find a cheap fan to test with
They also have rgb for slightly more but I'm assuming you don't need that for a bottom intake
Hell nah
Not tryna cable manage that again
Thatโs 80mm btw
Like I could go with 80mm
But would only use 2 screws
Oh huh
Any other options or do you think 80mm might work?
Smaller fan would give the GPU more space and not cover the entire GPU fan
Like it would be able to pull air from outside the intake fan too which may help with sound
Think itโs worth to spend $2 more for an arctic fan?
Arctic p12 slim
Probably not
ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
Alright I bought ur 120mm recommendation
Might even stick with 1 fan permanently since the GPU can pull air itself too
Just want a lil more positive pressure
Rn at 2 intakes 3 outtakes
Exhausts lol
Assuming 2 or more of those exhausts are through a radiator, those might restrict enough airflow to prevent a negative case pressure despite having more fans? Though from what I see, you have a mesh case so negative case pressure probably matters less since there's so much more area for air to come in, so dust shouldn't accumulate on the gaps of the case
2 intakes on radiator
1 exhaust on radiator. 2 exhaust above GPU on side panel.
Exhaust on radiator is above psu to pull hot air out
Hmm
So I was thinking intake top bottom exhaust center
Since the center doesnโt really feed air into anything
Putting intake on side center would just fight against the GPU hot air
Honestly you shouldn't worry about negative pressure in a full mesh case
i decreased temp by 20 degrees with a single fan
i think that single 120mm slim will definitely help when i get it installed
since its a bigger fan that this random desk fan
and actually pulling air in
negative or positive pressure matters less than if you're getting the heat out of the case or not; you can be in a negative pressure situation and have good airflow, and a positive pressure situation where the airflow does not get to the parts that need it
honestly moving one fan to a different location might improve your thermals, even without needing to add another fan
idk how your parts are laid out
im getting heat out
but im not getting enough cool air in for the gpu
theres 2 outtakes right in front of the gpu pulling all the hot air out
i can feel it
slim fan definitely helped
50s-60s with single slim compared to 60s-70s
wonder what two could do
Is the normal p12 worth buying
Might as well get more b12s if I need them
Just the weird harmonics around 50% would bug me if I had 4 of those making the sound
Unfortunately there is no p12 max white pack
But thats ok its still not a lot anyway
yes
max actually isnt much better than a normal p12 btw
it performs similar sometimes slightly worse at lower RPM, but does have a higher maximum RPM.
So basically, if you plan to max out your fans, get the P12 max. Otherwise, if your fans run at around 50% most of the time, buy the normal P12s.
P12 max are quiter at 100% use.
Tbh I'd probably just get thermalright c12c
Yeah even though yall praise that fan I was still skeptical
But now after seeing hardware canucks that fan really is that good
I always thought it was too good to be true, but its not
Yeah they were kinda brutal ngl
i had the thermaltake c12cs in my O11D
but i currently use 2 P12s in my Lian Li A3 PC
i bought p12s cause they were like $30 for 5
triple the price of the c12cs but i thought theyd be better for noise and longevity
i cant tell if theres much of a difference in noise
The price really throws people off.
"No way it's that cheap AND good. What's the catch?"
Good move not listening to a single source and seeking out someone more reputable than 'random Internet stranger #63257'.
Oh the 5 pack
Yeah thats good but I want the white fans
There is no pack for them so i really might take the thermalright pill again

Yeah even the rgb version is just as cheap
I really don't know how they pull it off man
At first everyone assumed that they were flooding the market to gain mindshare while taking a net loss, but it's been a couple years like that now
Just buy the thermal take C12C fans
Literally itโs like $2 if they stop working
Mine worked great, no horrible noise, good airflow, and didnโt break in the few months I used them.
If you have extra money to spend and donโt have a different use for it, get the arctic fans since theyโll probably last longer and do have a lot more positive reviews.
-# Arctic P12 Max are not chain link btw
Oh yeah true they arent
Its either that or c12
We'll see
Just trying to find something ahead of time for the inevitable death of my be quiets
I;ll hold on to these for a very long time
Buy a industrial size AC powered fan and use zip ties to attach your pc to it
tbf those connectors are like dirt cheap to add lmao
probably like a cent for both the materials and manufacturing combined
$2 more for these https://pcpartpicker.com/product/4zkH99/thermalright-tl-s12-x3-476-cfm-120-mm-fans-3-pack-tl-s12-x3
which i used in a friends build and the rgb is a nice accent
not blinding or ugly white transparent fins, but a cool halo
look especially nice in the front of the case
i adore these fans
my build is all s12s besides two thermalright 140s on the bottom
New peerless assassin revision???
https://a.co/d/e1ZxBiO
Interesting
Still only 6 pipes while the Phantom Spirit is 7 and cheaper
Is the pure wings 3 high speed a good option for heatsinks
Oh its got a rifle bearing
Might be over
I got that be quiet bias ima see how it is
Wow this fan is nuts
I am running a couple degrees hotter but it is super quiet
Like the fridge/freezer buzz is overpowering this with cinebench running
As much as I like that b12 it just aint it on a heatsink at least
I wonder if it would make those weird sounds as a case fan though. Maybe I can still keep it
Iโm buying a second slim fan
yo
Anyone have any experience with the Thermalright Frozen Prism ARGB 360mm?
Would these fans be oki? They donโt need a hardwire to my PSU?
GN reviewed it, it performs well for a cheap price.
https://youtu.be/MPQ-UvavT8Q
WE sponsored ourselves! Support independent testing & grab a GN Modmat or Case Magnet: https://store.gamersnexus.net/
In this review, we benchmark the Thermalright Frozen Prism 360 liquid cooler ("AIO"), available in both ARGB and black-out variants for CPU cooling. We tested the Thermalright Frozen Prism on both Intel and AMD solutions, finding...
Yeah I saw that, I might go with the notte instead
Seems to be slightly better for like $6 more
Looks like those don't use a hub and are just daisy chained into Mobo, as long as you have extra 4 pin pwm and 3 pin argb headers on your mobo, you should be able to use it.
The price is disagreeable but the cost of aesthetics is up to you. I'd look through thermalright's various fans and see if there's anything that catches your eye if you haven't already
Iโm trying to find what I can get day of from a microcenter
And or Best Buy
I have an Asus X870E Crosshair Hero
Thereโs also a Corsair RS120
I got the frozen notte because apparently itโs like the higher end Thermalright AIO for a little bit more
Idk if thereโs much of a performance difference tho
It was easy to put on
temps have been good? which CPU are you running?
14600K
Temps are good
Should I be concerned that the pump in my AIO suddenly sounds off
Probably, right?
Almost sounds like it's struggling
Pump speed is the same as it has been for months
Try tipping the pc around a bit, might have a trapped air bubble
Well it fixed it for a second
It sounds like a bunch of crickets chirping
How far might I need to tip it?
It just got way worse, I shut it down because it sounded so bad
I mean if the pump fails it just fails, right?
Not like it drips liquid all over my motherboard and graphics card?
It's a Mystique 240 by the way
Pretty sure one of the fans is failing
Yeah, stopped it with my hand and the sound completely goes away
So uh
Any fan recommendations?
lmao
Three pack is fine
Thermalright something something
Flow chart is in the pins lol
I was kind of just wondering if there was anything better since then
I'm not really surprised the fan is dying, these things unironically sound like a semi-truck accelerating
Nothing better in the price bracket
Some of them are even nidec clones, basically noctua fans
I probably want reverse in the front, right?
Yeah
Wild that DeepCool got sanctions for selling fans to Russian companies when this fan lasted a couple of months at best
Could be that they just put crappy ones in
Should I have the fan headers for the AIO in any specific ports? Like the pump fan in CPU_OPT and the normal fans in CPU or something?
That's up to you and your motherboard
Ideally you'd have the pump at a constant speed, it'll last longer if it's not ramping up and down
Most boards have CPU_OPT match the main CPU header but others will default it to 100%
I would keep my pump at around 60% personally
I don't get a choice with the Mystique
I just want to make sure it's getting the voltage it wants
If I try to set it lower than 100% it will go to 3000 in bursts because there isn't enough voltage
Is it a 3 or 4 pin pump connector? If it's 4 then make sure the header is set to PWM mode
Don't entirely remember, but I think four-pin. Motherboard defaults to auto, so it should hopefully figure it out.
I might have also set it to PWM
Oh also, ironically
I got bubble sounds from the pump after I moved my case around trying to remove the non-existent bubbles
Very quiet, but
Auto usually means PWM on the CPU fan and DC on everything else
It's fairly rare that it'll actually take the time during POST to test each fan to see if it responds to PWM signaling
For those with custom loops, does anyone run external rads
Iโve seen builds where they have the external rads exhausting like out a window thatโs something Iโd like honestly consider for the summer that would be amazing lol
Best coolling for i7 9700
Thermalright phantom spirit
Could probably survive with a smaller one too
But thatโs the best cooling value
