#

Okay

ocean flume
#

if it has issues as well, it could be something like the pump not pushing enough voltage out to both fans anymore

agile geyser
#

Well im not sure i would use the word pushing

ocean flume
#

if the fans connect directly to the pump, and the pump is starting to have issues, it can manifest with the fans having trouble getting going

#

but since it seems to be the same fan that has issues, i'm more inclined to think it's the fan itself

bright acorn
#

Yea

#

ill go test if its just the fan and if not then ill come back with more info, thank you so much i appreciate it

agile geyser
#

If you have a multi meter too and your feeling frisky you could also see what voltsge your getting at the fan but its kinda lot of work to do for not a ton of gain

#

Just US mechanics love our DMMs to help trace issues

bright acorn
#

Ha, its pretty neat

#

Yea im pretty positive its the fan, I just watched it as i restarted my pc it starts to spin then stops like it doesn't have enough power to turn on. Ill try replacing it and see if that fixes it

ocean flume
#

fingers crossed!

inland flume
#

If I get the SilverStone CPF04 PWM Fan Hub do I plug my AIO fan and pump into it or do those go straight to the mobo?

agile geyser
#

well if you dont have anything plugged into the CPU_fan header it will cause the mobo to flip out and throw you a error on boot that you can go past but its annoying. if you plug the PWM 4 pin (2 pins wired) for the silverstone hub into the CPU_fan connector then plug the AIO into that it would bypass the issue

#

@inland flume

clever lantern
#

I ened a

#

Water colling

#

120 MM

#

Fans

#

Lets say soemthing like that

low pumice
#

Why

#

@clever lantern Gib usage plz

#

Like

#

You want 120mm aio?

#

Or you want 120mm fans for rad

cold island
#

pretty sure he needs fans cause thats not a 120mm rad

#

noctua f12's are nice and quiet fans and are black

low pumice
#

Arctic p12s are really good mid end radiator fans

cold island
#

😳 fan tier list

stone jackal
#

I can get you some toast

#

That’s something

clever lantern
#

Yes

#

No i mean i need like 6 120MM something

#

For my Table build

#

And i want to know where i can get a glass cheap for my table.

steel tusk

Neighbors window?

thorn thunder
#

I need 2 fans for my nr600 needs to cool my r5 3600 and 1600super

spiral dock
#

Case fans?

thorn thunder
#

Yeah

spiral dock
#

Noctua all the way

thorn thunder
#

Ok can u send link to one you reccomend

spiral dock
rugged nimbus
#

Arctic makes some good cheap ones if you don't have $20 per fan

spiral dock
#

Solid 5 pack

rugged nimbus
#

Noctuca are better to be clear, but it sounds like you be on a budget :)

steady aurora
#

What y'all think about nzxt Kraken Z73 360mm radiator for a simi overclocked ryzen 9 3900x

distant kernel
#

@steady aurora 360 mil gigabyte aorus is better

spiral dock
#

^^^

#

Aorus will probably get better thermals but the kraken is really good as well

magic sparrow
#

I'd actually go 280mm z63. Same noise normalized perf more or less and cheaper. You barely get any extra actually useable space with going from 280 to 360. Also worth noting that z63/z73 is gen7 Asetek which is speculated to be completely flat coldplate.

distant kernel
#

true

little skiff
#

If I had more money available I'd get an AIO... because a lot of them look really cool.

#

Anyone want to recommend me a 3 pack of rgb fans (has to be rgb not argb) that preferably has a remote controller AND can let me plug one more rgb fan into it

cold island
#

noctua chromax

maiden delta
#

Didn't know noctua made rgb fans

#

Lemme take a look

#

Can't find a place to buy em

#

Got a link? @cold island

cold island
maiden delta
#

Oos till August and not rgb lol

cold island
#

hey no you can have r g b and even y b and w

maiden delta
#

Lmao

#

Not quite what I was looking for tho lol

#

I'm not really finding anything, everything has weird proprietary connections.

maiden delta
#

Ok I figured out a plan

onyx reef
#

Wraith prism or a coolermaster hyper 212 rgb?

#

I saw where they compared the hyper 212 and the stealth and got 10C less

brisk rain
#

On what sort of load?

onyx reef
#

No clue

#

Forgot what game they were playing

#

But I'm not getting 10C less going from the stealth to my prism

#

Is it because I have the low setting turned on, on the cooler rather than high

brisk rain
#

Maybe

#

It also could have been that they were testing on a full artificial load. Games aren't always very good for thermal benchmarks, since they have a random nature

onyx reef
#

True

#

This is the video I watched uh

topaz blaze
stone jackal
granite patrol
#

👏

peak yoke
#

What is a good cabel with one port going in the Motherboard and two fan ports coming out?

#

One that looks like this that works with RGB fans

simple anchor
#

I should be able to get rid of the thermal pad from the stock cooler by doing some things for a while and then with rubbing alcohol and paper towels right?

#

Just got my AIO so just making sure

simple anchor
#

Nvm I got it

#

How do I put it on the top of my case?

#

Do I just screw the bolts in through the fans from and bottom and put it on there?

azure crown
#

Or

#

I need two of them, so the first one is gonna cost me 30, the second one is gonna cost me 60

#

My question is, are the extra heatpipes really gonna make a big enough difference

#

I would prefer to save 30 bux, even if I have to deal with like 10C extra

azure crown
#

I bought the more expensive ones

#

Because whatever

maiden delta
#

Thas da spirit!

final crescent
#

looking for a 2pk or 3pk of case fans, white or black/white, no LEDs. any suggestions?

low pumice
#

Arctic p12

inland flume
#

Silver stone CPF04 fan controller fine?

bright cobalt
#

I’m in the market for a white 360mm aio. Any ideas?

topaz blaze
#

Can someone help me find out what is the difference between the z73 and x73. Also why does the z73 cost more

cold island
#

z73 has a cooler screen

#

afaik they both have the same pump you just get the lcd screen on the z73

magic sparrow
#

same gen asetek, just one of them has a screen on the block

onyx reef
#

yall feelings these or nah?

#

i need 3 fans for the top of my case

low pumice
#

What's with the square frame

onyx reef
#

i dont want to have to daisy chain all of them

#

either that or these

low pumice
#

20$ a fan is decent considering rgb and cm

onyx reef
#

with that one you save $10

#

but like

#

all the works done for me

#

@low pumice

low pumice
#

Your choice then

onyx reef
#

what would go with?

low pumice
#

I'm not a rgb guy

#

I wouldn't mess with rgb stuff

onyx reef
#

oi

#

ok

rocky nacelle
#

Hey guys, i have a tt nic c5 that i have been using for my fx-8350... I bought an i5-10600k and i wanted to use the same cpu cooler (i have the brackets) but the contact metal block from the cpu cooler can't reach the cpu because there is this metallic bracket that holds the cpu in place... It seems that the cpu cooler contact metal plate is too big to directly contacts the cpu... Is it normal? Or i'll have to buy a new cooler? Thankss

topaz blaze
#

i'm looking to get some silent fans, my exhaust fan is loud af. Compared to my AIO cooler. any suggestions?

topaz blaze
#

im thinking about looking into water cooling what are some pros and cons and what company makes good water coolers

rough sleet
#

What does PWM mean?

spark scarab
#

@topaz blaze If your Looking into Watercooling I suggest Starting off with a AIO. Corsair, NZXT, and Coolermaster make decent ones. Also Depends on What Size you want to go with. Alphacool makes a AIO as well.

low pumice
#

If you're looking into AIOs I suggest going back to air cooling

#

:p

maiden delta
#

Lol

topaz blaze
#

either 360 mm radiator or 280 mm on front

low pumice
#

Corsair H100i for 280mm, H150i for 360mm
Nzxt x63/x73 for 280mm, z73 for 360mm iirc

spark scarab
#

Yeah I was gonna list them all then realized he didnt specify the Size @low pumice So I figured I would put brands there

topaz blaze
#

yea sorry

spark scarab
#

Its Cool

fervent peak
#

Recommend me some reliable but cheap all black fans, preferably 120mm

#

I need to put some fans in my build, i dont have any fans

twin urchin
#

@rocky nacelle the bracket that holds the CPU on should not be above the level of the top surface of the CPU at any point. If it is, then you haven't installed it properly. Doo you have photos?

cold island
#

p12 @fervent peak

fervent peak
#

P12?

cold island
#

yes

#

arctic makes them

fervent peak
#

Perfect

magic sparrow
#

@low pumice x63/z63 is 280mm and x73/z73 is 360. The z means CPU block screen thingy

low pumice
#

oh sorry

#

I mixed them up then

cold island
#

z stands for zsuper cool screen

rocky nacelle
#

@twin urchin i actually looked at it wrongly... It was touching the cpu the whole time, lol... It just feels weird but thankss!!

topaz blaze
#

if i get a smaller radiator and have enough room on the front would i be able to run both on front?

spark scarab
#

@topaz blaze If your talking 2 120mm RADs then no. I have a 240mm Slot in the top of my case and was going to try that but the screw holes wont line up

ocean flume
#

trying to resurrect an old corsair H100i v2, but don't have the corsair link cable it came with, which is just a mini usb to usb 2.0 internal header. does anyone know if you absolutely need the 9 pin internal header connection? or will a mini-usb to 5 pin internal header cable work?

#

from what i can see in pictures, they both have the same wiring to the internal header, one is just a mostly empty 9 pin vs a 5 pin, but i can't find anything documented as to if there's an actual difference or not

onyx reef
#

Gimmick or no?

junior crow
#

Do you have sli?

onyx reef
#

Ya

junior crow
#

hmm which cards?

onyx reef
#

Oh wait no

#

Srry

#

I'm a bit tired

junior crow
#

probably not worth it for a single card

onyx reef
#

Ok thx

wet ember
#

Any suggestions on cheaper RGB fans?

magic sparrow
#

Ezdiy or upHere
5 pack of them is like $45 - $50

little skiff
#

There's a set of Ezdiy fans I'm probably going to get. Half thinking I should order 'em now while they're in stock.

wet ember
#

I looked into upHere, they look decent

maiden delta
#

I just bought a pack of antec ones. They're relatively quiet and have a daisy chain rgb system which is kinda cool

viral fjord
#

that is horrible coverage

#

decided I needed my mx-4 after seeing it hit 97C in prime95 small ffts, but didn't think this nightmare was awaiting me

viral fjord
#

mx-4 dropped idle temp by 25C

topaz blaze
#

Oooh

onyx reef
#

I need to be educated on aios

#

Someone help

stone jackal
#

lol me too

sick oasis
#

like how it works or wat

stone jackal
#

No I know how it works

#

I just don’t know which ones are good or not

#

I know the bigger the radiator usually the better the cooling, but then some 240mm radiator coolers do better than some 360mm coolers in some tests? It confuses me

onyx reef
#

Like the water pumps and such

#

No clue

sick oasis
#

oh basically

#

the best coolers for the price are the EVGA CLC,Arctic Liquid Freezer II and the ThermalTake FLOE

#

but i only recommend them if people request them

#

but i still try to convince them to get air cooling

wet cliff
#

How come air cooling over aio for you?

sick oasis
#

ok just because for the value

#

and im researching something that basically prooves why water cooling isnt effective on ryzen

#

im still doing the complicated maths for it

spark scarab
#

I beg to differ on that one. I have a Ryzen 5 2600X and have better temps on Water than I did on AIR

sick oasis
#

@spark scarab what cooler did u have before and aio u have now

#

when im talking temps i always compare the higher end air coolers and not the cheap ones like the Esports E34 or etc

spark scarab
#

I had the Air Cooler that came with the cpu and dont use a AIO. I built my loop myself. Just recently went froma 120mm RAd toa 240mm and when i switched to the 240mm I seen a 15 degree drop in my temps

sick oasis
#

im always comparing to a somethings like the NHD-15,DRP4 TR Macho Scythe fuma 2 and countless more

#

I had the Air Cooler that came with the cpu and dont use a AIO. I built my loop myself. Just recently went froma 120mm RAd toa 240mm and when i switched to the 240mm I seen a 15 degree drop in my temps
@spark scarab well a custom loop is different from a regular AIO

spark scarab
#

Frp, wjat Ive seen though 240mm RAD AIO works well with Ryzen. the 120mms are basically the same as air cooling

tight apex
#

the 120mm are not the same as aircooling

sick oasis
#

dont compare a 240 to a cheap air cooler @spark scarab

spark scarab
#

Thats not what I said

tight apex
#

air cooling can get amazing results that a 240mm aio wont get on ryzen

sick oasis
#

if ur gonna compare something like a 240 or 280mm compare them to the high end coolers

spark scarab
#

a 120mm AIO has the same efficiency as a Air Cooler. I didnt name any brands or anything

sick oasis
#

i never recommend 120mm aios theyre a waste of monety

spark scarab
#

I agree

#

But for some thats all they can afford

tight apex
#

id rather recommend a air cooler over a 120

#

120mm aios are found for the same price as air coolers that can do more

sick oasis
#

higher end air coolers

spark scarab
#

Oh Im sure. Yet there are gonna be those people that are dead set on watercooling

sick oasis
#

air performs about the same so sure

tight apex
#

until you show them temps

sick oasis
#

like i really rarely advise people from water cooling

#

imagine paying for a 120 usd aio when u can get about the same temps with a DRP4 or an NHD15

severe temple
spark scarab
#

@severe temple Amazon???

severe temple
#

@spark scarab New Egg

spark scarab
#

Oh Wow

#

To Bad I cant fit one of those in my case\

severe temple
#

@spark scarab they make 240 around 80

sick oasis
#

@severe temple thats a good price for that cooler

low pumice
#

Dunno how well they work tho

sick oasis
#

@low pumice they actuall are decent for the price

#

its a decent aio but the temps arent that good but its fine for the price

low pumice
#

Well

#

Arctic freezer ii exists

#

And that is one of the best AIOs you can get

#

100$ price range

#

So I'd rather not rely on a badly performing aio from a company I don't trust

sick oasis
#

true

#

id still get a Arctic Freezer II or a CLC 280 over that

low pumice
#

Even the crappy cm aio beats it

tight apex
#

you could get deepcool

keen pond
#

i need a couple cheapo fans to replace the one that decided to yeet itself from my case, are the cm sickleflow v2 good?

open rampart
#

360ZoomFlow can be had for relatively same price as pictured above

onyx reef
#

Nah I was looking at the nzxt kraken

#

240mm

onyx reef
#

Guess not

tender leaf
#

can JRGB pins on the mobo be used for rgb fans

rugged nimbus
#

What is JRGB?

#

What RGB fans?

#

What mobo?

onyx reef
#

Ik I'm so confused

#

Jrgb

limpid musk
#

never heard of it

onyx reef
#

Neither have I

#

does anyone know if the nzxt kraken lineup if all sizes has the custom lcd screens?

#

nvm found my answer

onyx reef
#

any coolers with a customizable lcd screen??

shrewd flare
#

nzxt kraken x52, x63, and etc.

onyx reef
#

nahh

#

@shrewd flare

#

just the z versions have the fully customizable to put ur own image on there

#

thats what i want

cold island
#

:v then theres ur answer

onyx reef
#

but like

#

cheaper love_it

tender leaf
#

@onyx reef @rugged nimbus @limpid musk personally i'm using b450m bazooka wifi max but theres a JRGB1 and JRGB2 pin in the bottom left and top right corner of my mobo and i was just wondering what thats for

#

i could pm a picture

onyx reef
#

If you'd like

#

Still got no clue tho

plucky hatch
#

can anyone find what fans these are?

stone jackal
#

Wdym

#

They’re 120mm

plucky hatch
#

yeah but like what brand of fan

#

are they musetex’s?

stone jackal
#

No idea

plucky hatch
#

thank you

twin urchin
#

@tender leaf those are RGB or ARGB headers for rgb lighting. Your manual should tell you which.

tender leaf
#

@twin urchin thanks, just wanted to make sure because i couldn't find any youtube videos or web guides

#

how would I control the color when i plug the fan into the header

spark scarab
#

@tender leaf Usually with Software that is provided by the Motherboard Manufacturer

hexed galleon
#

I'm planning on getting an exhaust fan to add to the back of my case, (corsair 220t) but there are no slots left for fans on the motherboard (asus prime x570-p) where do I plug them in?

#

The lightning node pro that comes with the 220t in the back?

#

In the 4th slot?

#

(The other 3 are taken by the case fans)

ocean flume
#

i think the lighting node just controls the rgb

#

not the actual fan speed/power

hexed galleon
#

Okay

ocean flume
#

so you'd probably need to pick up a cheap splitter on amazon or something

hexed galleon
#

This is my first build so forgive me

ocean flume
#

that will let you run 2 fans off a single header from the board

hexed galleon
#

That won't cause problems?

ocean flume
#

nope

#

if they're PWM fans, you can get a PWM splitter (PWM is 4 pins on the fan connector)

#

if they're 3 pin, which is DC, you can use either a 3 pin splitter or a 4 pin

hexed galleon
#

The fans are 3 pin

#

Motherboard slots have 4 pins

ocean flume
#

that's fine, the main difference is how the system can control fan speed

#

will work

hexed galleon
#

Okay

#

Thank you

ocean flume
#

just line up the 3 pin connector on the fans with the tab on the splitters

#

and then plug the single end into the board

hexed galleon
#

Okay

ocean flume
#

and you're good to go

hexed galleon
#

Thanks again

ocean flume
#

👍

strange sparrow

does anyone know a good aio with a gif screen

#

z63 is always sold out and i need options

onyx reef
#

Lmao I'm looking for the same thing @strange sparrow

#

I think the aorus one has the same kinda thing

#

Not completely sure tho

strange sparrow

@onyx reef mmmm ok ok i like ur pfp btw 🙂

onyx reef
#

Thx

strange sparrow
#

i hope someone knows one

i’m tryna put my waifus in my pc lmao

It's either I do that or I put a mini lcd screen

obsidian mango
#

Is liquid cooling worth it

stone jackal
#

Sometimes

#

Like if you’re doing heavy overclocking

#

Or if you really want the looks of a liquid cooler

#

But air cooling can be better and/or cheaper sometimes

empty hazel
#

i just wanna know for anyone who has custom liquid cooling how;s the thermals

#

like comparitive to aios and stuff, is it really that much better

#

for thermals?

rugged nimbus
#

Depends on a bunch of stuff but I get mid-40s in everyday non-gaming usage

#

W/ a Corsair HydroX loop

empty hazel
#

thats ok

#

its not the best

mystic tiger
#

id say it all depends on what youre doing but if you dont plan on doing oc or light oc, its really not worth it

rugged nimbus
#

Stress brings me to mid 80s

empty hazel
#

what cpu

rugged nimbus
#

^ in the name

empty hazel
#

i get to high 70s with a 3600x

#

oh

#

yeah that would make sense

#

ok so its decent for cooling

#

but not the best

rugged nimbus
#

It's nice, but an AIO or air cooler isn't that much worse and cost so much less

empty hazel
#

yeah

rugged nimbus
#

Like my loop is $900 new and a great Noctuca cooler is $120

empty hazel
#

dang thats pricey

#

my whole build was 1k

rugged nimbus
#

Yeah, I really indulged myself lol

What components are in the loop, what clocks they are running, amount of power they are pulling, the TIM used, if Intel is it direct die, noise of fans/pump, rad dimensions and FPI, speed of pump and fans as well as quality, case airflow, whether the rads have good access to airflow (example: putting a rad in the front of an NZXT H510 where airflow is very limited), and so forth

#

@empty hazel those are some things that need to be considered with AIO vs custom loops. Can't be said in just one number

low pumice
#

Prices

magic sparrow
#

I mean, Bykski isnt all that more then good AIOs iirc

low pumice
#

Also Hei what's the other cheap kit that wasn't bykski? bykski shipping is like 120$ now

magic sparrow
#

Barrow

low pumice
#

True, but you get a GPU block with it too

magic sparrow
#

Could look for different seller too

#

I know Formulamod has their own site too

#

Or use Bykski's own site

#

US site

low pumice
#

hmm a bit expensive to buy straight from bykski it seems

#

50$ cpu block 130$ gpu block 60$ rad 100$ pump res

#

plus like 50$ in fittings and tube

#

then case fans

#

thats gonna be like 400$

#

might as well buy from aliexpress with the 200$ + 100$ shipping

empty hazel
#

ok

#

idk im not even going to do custom i was just wondering

magic sparrow
low pumice
#

fair nuff

#

looks fine if shipping is like 20$

magic sparrow
#

here we go

#

$175 base with CPU+GPU+360 rad

maiden delta
#

Shows how much money companies like corsair and ek make on their kits...

magic sparrow
#

yeah. But Bykski still isnt best quality tho. With having the kit in my hands I do notice that the fin density on the blocks isnt as high as what Ive seen elsewhere. But they def still are making some decent profit

#

@maiden delta lol, the bottom one. Shipping to Canada rn. Not too horrible for the former one, Ali use to be 75 USD iirc before Human Malware

📎 unknown.png
#

also wrong ping Egg, sorry. @low pumice

maiden delta
#

No worries

low pumice
#

alright

magic sparrow
#

ye, US shipping is bad for Formula mod site. $150 USD

low pumice
#

basically same as ali eh

strange sparrow
#

@onyx reef can you put gifs on that one sorry for late response i was working today

onyx reef
#

No clue

#

I couldn't find enough information but apparently you can based on what I've read @strange sparrow

strange sparrow
#

mmmmm ok ok okkkk

#

hopefully you can

#

tryna build a bunny girl build 🥰 so i need a aio with a gif

onyx reef
#

Yeah I don't like the nzxt lineup cause the other fans aren't rgb

How much heat do you think the Corsair H150i can dissipate?

i recommend it though you could probably find a better cooler for around the same price or cheaper

Ah ok cool, do you know of any that would be better? I don’t necessarily have to go cheap

62 dollars for two brand new air coolers

@onyx reef damn 😭😭😭😭

#

yeah exactly the nzxt ones are also taxed so hard dude

onyx reef
#

Ik😭😭

#

It'd be cheaper just to get a mini lcd display and put it in there 😭😭

This one

#

Or this one

eternal flint
#

How far can this take an i9-9900k on overclocking?

Everything depends on the specific chip

eternal flint
#

Ok

#

I mean I can still hit 5GHz+ with that cooler right?

Are case fans and radiator fans interchangeable or is there some reason they should not be?

obsidian mango

Hey guys! This is my first build. Cooling seems fine but I just want to make this cooling system as best I can. The yellow circles are where I have fans and they’re all blowing air in. All are 120mm

Is it possible to add a smaller fan below the gpu in that red square?

Are case fans and radiator fans interchangeable or is there some reason they should not be?
@floral mango they are interchangeable

#

Just make sure their correct type like 140mm fan for 140mm slot

Is about 42.5C idle good for a non-stock cooler?

magic sparrow
#

love the trash Intel TIM on older Intel CPUs. Have my 6700k be doing 20% or so of usage while GPU is at 100% usage pulling 520w or so of power into my custom loop (XOC vBIOS so no PL), Intel CPU overheats at 100c while GPU be at 65c - 70c.
Cant wait to move over to a new CPU, probs AMD, so my CPU doesnt overheat from bad TIM. Delid or direct die seem kinda eh for a solution when Im going to replace it soon

idle tiger
#

6th/7th gen isn't too bad

#

8th gen is trash

(thermal paste/TIM wise)

onyx reef
#

would yall go with a 360mm aio over a 240mm and why?

idle tiger
#

Noctgua U12 A

magic sparrow
#

idk, if Intel just stuck with solder then I wouldnt see what is apparently a 30c delta from standard TIM - LM

#

@onyx reef I'd generally say 280mm if you really want AIO. Cheaper then 360 and basically same noise normalized perf

#

but also, a good air cooler is usually a better option for getting budget noise normalized perf

onyx reef
#

im not buying a super expensive aio

#

its ab $120

magic sparrow
#

as air noise normalized is about same as liquid noise normalized for CPU

onyx reef
#

i dont like the bulkiness of the air coolers

#

i was gonna get the nzxt z series

#

but thats like $400 rn

#

so like

#

no

magic sparrow
#

z series is overpriced no matter what

#

just get x and DIY some screen in the case

onyx reef
#

ya but wayyy op

#

i am lmao

#

a little rasberry pi screen

#

well a pretty big one tbh

#

about 7"

#

which is way bigger than aio one

magic sparrow
onyx reef
#

im need it to be white peepoSadSip

#

and possibly rgb

#

i've found a couple

magic sparrow
#

z isnt white tho...

#

so why that anyways?

onyx reef
#

well liked that screen lmao

#

to match the case

#

would i be better with a black one?]

#

bcuz i've seen that they are cheaper

#

but the whites in my case kinda reflect the light well

#

imo

magic sparrow
#

I mean, white ones are pricier and idk quality of them

onyx reef
#

i've just been looking at amazons best sellers

#

bcuz i was just going to put three fans instead

#

but i want some real nice temps on my cpu

#

i currently have a wraith prism on my 3600

#

but its not a whole lot of a difference

magic sparrow
#

why not spend an extra $130 on a 3700x with selling the 3600?

#

That's also why I dislike AIOs

onyx reef
#

bcuz then i end up with the same temps if not higher lmao

#

and i like my 3600

strange sparrow
#

yeah the 3600x usually gets a lot hotter than the regular 3600

#

find any lcd screen aios? @onyx reef

magic sparrow
#

who cares whether your temps are 68c or 80c? Perf is the same

onyx reef
#

no lmao

#

@strange sparrow

strange sparrow
#

;-; feels bad

#

i meannnnn

onyx reef

well i dont need all that extra performance lmao

strange sparrow
#

12c is a p big difference but it depends on what you do on ur rig

what yall think of this cooler?

strange sparrow
#

1080p

onyx reef

it looks ugly

magic sparrow

about 5x overpriced

onyx reef

since u like ugly

strange sparrow

yeah it’s not my style but

onyx reef
#

and ya

strange sparrow
#

whatever cools ur cpu

onyx reef
#

im running 1440p everything rn max specs

strange sparrow
#

it’s all about performance over aesthetics

magic sparrow
#

just get a Gammaxx 400 + upHere/EzDIY RGB fans

#

much cheaper

strange sparrow
#

yeah you have to lower it a little it’s a better stream for viewers

magic sparrow
#

$22 CPU Cooler + 5 RGB fans for $45

onyx reef
#

i dont necessarily save money

strange sparrow
#

yeah honestly

#

whenever i get that check it’s like

#

lemme splurge rq

#

kinda irresponsible ;-;

onyx reef

i'm sitting on 3 rn

strange sparrow

but i’m 16 so i mean

onyx reef

well i save money but like

pseudo jetty
#

Can someone point me in the right direction for a replacement fan to fit a Dell XPS 8920 Silver Edition CPU?

#

I'd like to upgrade from the factory fan with a "plug-in-play" replacement & no modifications

pseudo jetty
#

Anybody? lol

sturdy warren
#

@pseudo jetty do you know what cpu?

pseudo jetty
#

My fan works, I just know my CPU runs hotter than normal, due these Slimmer Dell XPS cases, so I was wondering if there was a better fan out there, than the factory one.

sturdy warren
#

Okay give me a second to look some stuff up

pseudo jetty
#

Thank you 🙂

sturdy warren
#

@pseudo jetty if it’s the i7 7700 this should fit

pseudo jetty
#

Yes, I have the i7-7700

#

thank you so much for your help

sturdy warren
#

You’re welcome.

#

I always like to help when I can.

pseudo jetty
#

Hey @sturdy warren do you know if there is also an upgrade to the "top case" fan? If I'm going to do 1x, might as well do the other while I'm at it

empty hazel
#

@pseudo jetty Is your Dell XPS from 2016 or 2020?

#

ok so from what i can tell, the top fan is a power supply fan

#

but if the fan you are talking about has screws, that means that you can probably remove it

#

now idk if you know how to remove it, but once you unscrew the fan, make sure to unplug it from the motherboard

#

yeah im pretty sure that both the front and the sides are part of the power supply, but if you do happen to find a removable fan, measure out the dimensions

#

most are 120 or 140 mm, so you can remove the one that comes with the XPS and slot in a noctua 120. I can't post links in this server for some reason, so just go to amazon or newegg and look up "noctua 120mm". Just buy the cheapest one you can find, a core i5 shouldn't produce that much heat

#

I hope this helps!

pseudo jetty
#

@empty hazel I bought my XPS 8920 in late 2017, early 2018. It's the Silver Case model, i7-7700. The top case fan is the fan in the back of the case, pulling heat out the top of the case, located just above the processor fan. I've read that the fan is replaceable & was looking to see if there is a better one than factory, as my temps seem to run a bit higher in this "compact" Dell case
142 136 136 136 are my current temps under very little load

runic wedge
#

I really wish ThermalTake would get it's act together with these fan controllers.

#

Is TT going to release any new RGB fan controllers any time soon?

empty hazel
#

@pseudo jetty are those in farenheit or celcius? Also, seeing as you have a detachatble fan, do you have specs for the fan? Most fans should be good enough to handle the load, although the i7 7700 is a pretty toasty chip

#

but then again, you could probably just get a noctua fan given that the fan has a standard measurement

pseudo jetty
#

Unfortunately, I don't have the specs to the fan & yes, Farenheit

#

I'm just starting to get into "computer" components, so I'm still learning and trying to figure out the fan. Knowing my temp is a bit higher than it should be, that is why I wanted to work on a little better cooling system without breaking the bank or getting "too involved" in changing it out.

empty hazel
#

Ok geez that is NOT GOOD

#

your temps are WAY TOO HIGH

#

like my temps under full load are about 70c and yours idle are 60

#

thats not

#

good

#

Definitely get the noctua cpu fan

#

also use a high quality thermal paste

pseudo jetty
#

Yeah, these Dell Mini cases are kind of known for running hot

empty hazel
#

you could use the EVGA frostbite 2, or IC Diamond thermal compound

#

after that replacement, you should see a large improvement in temps

#

I'd start with that, and once youve replaced it, tell me about the temps after

pseudo jetty
#

I figured while I replace the processor fan, I would replace the top case fan too, since I could do it all at once, instead of separately

empty hazel
#

yeah you could definitely do that so just measure the fan in millimeters

pseudo jetty
#

cool - wish there was an easier way to find a replacement fan. LOL

empty hazel
#

i mean its pretty easy to do it but because its a prebuilt, there isn't like a spec sheet so you can find the dimensions of every fan in the system

#

usually its really easy to replace tho

magic sparrow
#

Idle temps mean nothing

#

Due to fan curves being very lenient on idle stuff

empty hazel
#

true but using a dell prebuilt i dont think that there are that many different curves

pseudo jetty
#

I think even with a cheaper replacement fan, it will do better than the factory & even if I can drop 10-15 degrees, that's a huge win for these compact Dell cases.

spark scarab
#

Go with a High Static Pressure Fan that should help

empty hazel
#

yeah you could defniitely do that

magic sparrow
#

Doubt it. Not unless the fan is larger (140mm vs 92mm). Only real help replacing would do is noise

#

Need to be LVL 3 (talk more) to post links

pseudo jetty
#

I was recommended to use the one listed above about 20 lines

magic sparrow
#

Or just remove the HTTPS part

#

That's replacing the actual cooler, not the fan itself

#

Cooler replacement can help, fan replacement will do small differences in temp

pseudo jetty
#

I don't mind replacing both (cooler & fan) if I can get better temps & it's more of a "plug-n-play" set up, where i don't have to modify my case or anything

empty hazel
#

yeah honestly i dont think you need a new exhaust fan, just keep it clean. but defintely swap out your cpu fan tho

spark scarab
#

Depends on the type of fan. I have one that is designed for use in manufacturing equipment and has a high RPM. Its a 2 wire and I could wire it to a fan header that plugs into my fan speed controler

#

Its a 120mm

magic sparrow
#

Unless you're like 1.6x the RPM from the previous one or smth, temps will barely change. Tho at that point it could be quite loud

pseudo jetty
#

Thanks guys for all the help, it's so highly appreciated. I'm going to be changing the HDD to SSD in the next few days too. I've been reading that I need to disable the Intel Optane chip before I do this & that I shouldn't need to turn it back on either, after I do this

empty hazel
#

you don't need to disable anything for a clone, as long as the ssd has the same or more capacity than the hard drive

#

if it doesn't, then you can unpartition some data until it fits

#

that can be done in disk management, and you can definitely ffind guides on yt for how to do it

#

Is Masterliquid 120ml good for a begging pc ?

posting this here but um: so i bought a corsair 570x case and i'll be using a ryzen 7 3700x and an msi mag x570 tomahawk and a rtx 2070 super will i need to add more case fans or will i be fine without more fans i'm new to building gaming PCs

how many fan do u have

u should have atleast 3

the stock fans that come with the case

2/3 intake 1 exhaust is all you need for a conventional setup

@pure dagger im in the same predicament

Gotcha yeah, I just dont know because I want good cooling, but also the idea of leaks terrify me

#

(Copy and pasted) Hello peeps im new to the server, but i had a question. I plan on getting a 5 3600 (like most) but I dont know whether to get an aftermarket cooler or an AIO. I'm a bit spooked of AIOs because water/coolant in a PC with my luck seems like it could ruin everything so I'm hesitant but also I want to make sure cooling is not an issue. Any suggestions? Thank you

fluid lichen
#

Aftermarket air coolers and AIOs have similar cooling performance

#

Linus and other people have tested this

#

air coolers can outperform AIOs based on their tests

#

It's down to looks and cost in this case

calm turtle
#

Mr doesn't read manuals: 2/3 intake 1 exhaust is all you need for a conventional setup

#

so my 6 intake and 6 exhaust is too much??

cold island
#

yea that’s pretty overkill

sturdy warren
#

@pseudo jetty sorry I never responded. My phone died.

low pumice

@calm turtle there is never too much airflow, but above like 4 fans you get dimishing returns for every extra fan

Has anybody used a cooler master master liquid ml240l?

I've heard it's quite a bang for it's buck but I really don't want to risk my 80 $ on a water cooler if an air cooler could be better.

magic sparrow
#

@low pumice there is too much once you get turbulence

low pumice
#

I mean I don't think 6 fans is enough for that but it's true

magic sparrow
#

Full fan config can do that fairly easily on cases afaik. Affects noise normalized perf a small bit

Thank you @fluid lichen

clear tangle
#

is it bad if i have my radiator mounted in the front pulling the hot air into my case

spark scarab
#

Yes and No. Depends on how the air is flowing through the case itself. @clear tangle

clear tangle
#

@spark scarab k say i have a 2fan radiator on the front pulling air in and 2 fans in the back as exaust

spark scarab
#

Should be fine then. Since your puling it back out but at the same time adding heat to the VRM and the RAM sticks

#

Watch the temps on the VRMs and the RAM modules if you can

#

@clear tangle If you can put another fan either a 80,, or 120mm Pulling cold air in from either the topo of the case or the bottom of the case to help lower the internal temps

what are some good cheap air coolers for like a 3600

If the case fits it, the d15s is good

I think the X version of the 3600 does though

Ah another newbie question: Is it enough to have just the included 2 case fans and an aftermarket cooler or should I have basically 2 input fans, an aftermarket cooler and 2 output fans?

twilit bane
#

It's really hot rn here in North Baguette Land. I am considering getting a desk fan, but the ones I've looked at seem to be pretty loud. I'm very sensible to noise, so I was thinking maybe I could get a quiet 140mm pc fan and DIY a desk fan from it.

#

How viable would that be? I found a Silent Wings 2 for 10€, so I'd use that.

lusty wadi
#

be quiet! fans are really quiet but theyre also decently expensive. if youre trying to get max cooling for a budget i’d get a bunch of cheaper fans and just run them at lower rpm

twilit bane

I know there are lots of tutorials out there on doing it-mainly wondering how quiet it will be/how well it can cool humans.

I did a triple 120mm Setup last year that I could put in a window on a power supply that had the right type of connector to screw the wires down to after clipping the 3 pin connectors off. Worked really well honestly. It was one of those multi voltage power supplies where I could set the voltage

Any recommended coolers for a i5-6400 or do I even need one

proud sentinel
#

I am worried about my new build because last time I checked the CPU temperature it was at 50c while playing perfect world international and I am not sure if that is ok

#

I noticed it was getting hot because I heard the fan changing speed

brisk rain
#

50c is pretty darn cool

#

Only worry if it gets above 80c

proud sentinel
#

What is the hottest temperature to run a cup? Btw at that time there was no AC turn on and the room was pretty hot

#

Oh 80c seriously?

#

I was worried was planning to crack up the fans today

brisk rain
#

Technically they can run up to 100c, but if you're seeing high 80s or low 90s you want to do something about it

proud sentinel
#

Are you sure is 80c and not 80f?

brisk rain
#

Yes

#

What CPU do you have exactly?

proud sentinel
#

Dang good news then

#

I have ryzzen 5 2600

#

With stock fan

And heatsink

#

And only 2 120mm fans for intake and exhaust

brisk rain
#

AMD is listing max temp as 95, but you can technically go a bit above that for short amounts of time

📎 unknown.png
#

2 fans should be fine for that CPU

#

I have a 2700x with a two fan setup, haven't seen it break 80

Is there a program that let me see in real time the temp of the cpu?

Fun dumb stories from me, again.
This time, I'm topping up my loop. My reservoir is usually what I use to fill/drain my loop. My res is at the bottom so dealing with air bubbles isn't too fun when filling. I usually fill from the top of the res but the thing is that the top of the res has a tube going down a bit from that port, so when I attempt to top it off I can't as I can't fill past that tube using that port. Of course I have an exahst from the loop going into the top side where that deadzone of water is. So when I turn off my PC the water levels out and air can get into the tubing. Looked eh, if I made sure all air was in the res it'd actually end up escaping into the rads after turn off. So anyways, getting past this issue resulted me in turning the res to its side that I don't usually have access to so I can get to another side port where there isn't any weird tubing causing air gaps when filling. This also meant that the res was above my mobo now. I also didn't have any molex/SATA to 4 pin PWM so I could run the pump by itself with the PC off on hand either. Meaning PC was on. Turing filling it I spilt some on the mobo. Turned off the PC and dried it up. Had to take mobo out of case (which also meant removing most of the loop, soft tubing tho so not super hard but still more annoying) cuz the screws to the chipset heatsink was on the back of the board. Which was a place I also had to dry up. Anyways fast forward some fair time and I boot it up to see it working fine. Def made me stay up a lot later than I intended to tho.

AIO = only needed IF you either are using a very limited (space wise) case OR have a machine in a enviroment where it is needed OR you are overclocking beyond what a aircooler can handle. In all other situations, its a very expensive cooler for what it brings to the table @onyx reef

#

mind, that is from a performance pov.

#

IF you want a AIO because you want to make a water cooled machine. Obviously, it makes sense. But (if none of the previous situations apply) that is just a visual choice.

onyx reef
#

i want it both for the aesthetic and i dont like the idea of a really beefy cooler that looks nice hanging off of my cpu

well steve did a review on one from the same company just 240mm no 360mm

#

and based on what i remember he said they perform just like any other aio

spare ember
#

i personally like the arctic liquid freezer aio's

#

cheap and perform well

onyx reef
#

i need rgb and white cuz im a gamer peepoSadSip

burnt goblet
#

nah, you want it

onyx reef
#

it'll increase my gaming performance by at least 5%

brisk rain

^

#

RGB decreases performance, change my mind

low pumice
#

it theoretically would

#

by pulling power

burnt goblet

must resist silly jokes

onyx reef
#

not for the actual pc lmaop

#

*lmao

#

but for me Chef_Kiss

#

my senses are enhanced

#

the thing is

#

its not a joke

#

anyway

#

i found a review from 2 years ago

#

on toms hardware

#

they said you sacrifice a couple of degrees to save some money

#

I just need something to be better than my wraith prism

#

that lights up

#

and is also white

Does the Ryzen 5 3600 have temp problems? Mine idles at about 40c - 45c (Ambient 26c). I have the stock cooler and I changed the paste twice. What seems the problem?

copper patrol
#

stock coolers arent that great lol, but so long as youre never going above 90 youre good

#

also

#

the cooler on the 3600 is kinda small

#

iirc

zealous skiff
#

Yeah I tried Cinebench r20 and it reached 88c

azure crown
#

88c is acceptable

#

not throttling soooo

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

copper patrol
#

yup

#

youre good

#

and nothing will really make it run as hot as cinebench does

#

probably

#

except for FoH... but that thing destroys pcs lol.

#

so anyways

#

youre good to go

#

dont worry about it

zealous skiff
#

Thanks

#

So, what are good budget coolers better than stock?

Gammaxx 400

#

20$

viral fjord
#

how much do yall think i should charge someone to build a custom water loop with cpu and gpu

copper patrol
#

cost of loop + $200

idle tiger
#

Especially if it's custom hardline.

#

Less if it's soft tubing/lazy hackjob like I do.

magic sparrow
#

@viral fjord could go Bykski/Barrow loop then add like 350 to it or smth and profit like crazy while they look at you like they profited from the "low" price for the custom loop (taking advantage of the fact Bykski/Barrow is super cheap compared to brand companies)

viral fjord
#

they ended up wanting AIOs instead after they heard that maintenance exists

magic sparrow
#

F

#

All that coolness factor is gone now

#

So sad

When you add a 1 1/2 motor to do a 5hp motors work you gotta get creative 🙃

spark scarab
#

Seeing as the box fan has no way to pul air into it its not being very effective being right next to the wall

autumn spire
#

It actually moves a fair amount of air. And it made the system work. It was just a test that will become permanent now

spark scarab
#

Only thing is the fan is working harder than it has to with being right next to the wall like that. If it was moved off the wall by say an inch It would move more air and much more effectively

idle tiger
#

Does the larger motor run at the same rpm? If so it probably runs cooler.

#

Induction motors do be like that.

autumn spire
#

Idk. I’ll actually just mount a fan on the ceiling (rafters) now and blow straight down. It should get proper ventilation and get the air where it needs to be.

#

Hope I am in the right section for the question.

autumn spire
#

Someone may help. You might want to try the pc case section

golden sedge
#

ok , thanks. I will delete this one so it won't be double posted.

What sort of thermal paste should I use with a Thermaltake 3-fan AIO and Ryzen 3900XT? Conductonaut? Arctic Silver?

#

Would it help to use conductonaut?

stone jackal
#

MX-4 is always good. cheap and works well

#

cryonaut is good too

runic wedge
#

oh cool, I was told by TT that the water block doesn't have any aluminum in it, but I see these screws and I wonder if they'll have a bad interaction with the conductonaut.

#

No reason to conductonaut a ryzen

#

Don't do that

#

Ryzen IHS will react with the LM

I have a corsair ll120 fan but no lightning node pro. Do I need that to control RGB or can I just use the fan hub you can get from Corsair for $10?

i need a cooler for my i3-8100 ik ik its an i3 but still i cant use the stock cooler anymore

stone jackal
#

What's ur budget for a new cooler @rigid oxide

rigid oxide
#

idk maybe 150 max

low pumice
#

...

#

Nh-u12s

#

70$

limpid musk
#

Zalman's coolers work really well.

low pumice
#

cnps20x?

#

It's just another d15

#

slightly better

#

I wouldn't spend that much on a cooler for a 8100 lol

brisk rain
#

Yeah, 65W TDP

cold island
#

ya just get like a $300 cooler

brisk rain
#

General rule of thumb, your cooler should be twice as expensive as your CPU

supple cobalt
#

i thought rule of thumb was to plum the cold line of your AC system for your house onto a block for your PC

brisk rain
#

Does that cost twice as much as your CPU ore more?

idle tiger
#

GPU coolers should be 100x more than their card

cold island
#

does that tube work well

supple cobalt
#

hmm, it would probably be like 300 bucks on copper piping not counting the way to block it so it doesnt freeze or over condense

#

is that for LN?

#

on a gpu

idle tiger
#

yes

#

note - I have 0 plans to actually use that gpu with that

supple cobalt
#

lol interesting idea

#

low pumice
#

Arctic freezer II

shy raptor
#

low pumice
#

Should be 115$ for 280mm

shy raptor
#

£89 in uk for 280mm on amazon

#

bargain

low pumice
#

Yea it's a cheap nice aio

#

Around the 100$+ range

shy raptor
#

Building my first pc rn... have an deepcool 360EX AIO but when i put the standoffs on my mother board they can move up and down...

#

Someone help me!!!

azure crown
#

wdym

#

so your trying to mount your cooler

jagged drift
#

Yes

azure crown
#

what do the motherboard standoffs have to do with anything

jagged drift
#

The standoffs of the AIO

#

The thing that i put the aio cpu thing on

azure crown
#

so the aio mounting bracket

#

what mobo?

jagged drift
#

msi b550 gaming carbon wifi

#

Are they supposed to be able to move up and down?

#

(Aio mounting screw things)

azure crown
#

up and down parallel to the motherboard, or perpendicular?

jagged drift
#

Perpendicular

azure crown
#

does the aio block use the mobo cooler backplate or does the cooler come with one?

jagged drift
#

:/

#

Wdym

azure crown
#

the board comes with two black plastic pieces screwed to a backplate

jagged drift
#

there is this thing under the cpu

#

and i screwed the mounting aio screws onto that

#

And now they are moving perpendicular

azure crown
#

ok, does that thing under the cpu come off?

jagged drift
#

Yes

azure crown
#

did the aio come with something similar?

jagged drift
#

No

azure crown
#

ok

#

the cooler is designed to work with amd and intel sockets, make sure you are using the amd set, not the intel set

jagged drift
#

Yes i am using the amd set 100%

azure crown
#

ok

#

is it the new or the old 360EX?

#

theres one that looks cylindrical, and one thats a cube

#

for the pump/cpu block

jagged drift
#

Idk its the white version

#

And its a circle on top of the cpu

azure crown
jagged drift
#

yep that one

azure crown
#

ok

jagged drift
#

First one

azure crown
#

so idk why the mount is loose, but try going over the manual and make sure you didnt miss anything

#

idk how this coolers mounting mechanism works, so i cant really ask much more

jagged drift
#

Ok
