Hey all so im awaiting the delivery of an aio today, and i got to thinking. Is it possible if the liquid inside froze at all during shipping? If so could that have damaged it? would there be anything i need to do when it gets here? I live in wisconsin thats why im asking
topaz blaze
Hah! Would you look at that! 90 degrees celsius for a dual core i5 in a MacBook Air! And the best part about it is that the fan is still at it's lowest speed, 1200rpm out of 6500
And then apple thinks they can passively cool a 28 core server CPU
velvet rain
uhh 90 degress is bad
fluid current
anyone know why theres a static/ bubbling noise comng from somewhere near my aio?
low pumice
bubbles
fluid current
@topaz blaze the radiator is mounted at the top of the case
topaz blaze
if the toobs are at the bottom it shouldn't make that sound
correct me if i'm wrong
ok
well it's because of bubbles
fluid current
Alright thanks. The noise seemed to go away a bit. If it doesnt stop in the next couple of days ill try to return it (pain since the company is based in slovekia and im in US)
twin urchin
you can tilt the case around to coax the bubbles out of the pump and into the radiator if they don't make it there naturally on their own
knotty eagle
If the radiator is top mounted though, you shouldn't be getting air in the pump. What AIO is this?
twin urchin
if he has tubes-down on the pump they could be caught in there even if the pump is lower in the loop

@knotty eagle EKWB 360mm

So, I have a gaming laptop (shush I know I should have built a PC, I was not educated in the ways of the nerd at the time,) and my CPU and GPU get around 60-70 degrees when gaming on my most extensive game, plugged in, and sit at about 50-60 when idle plugged in, and I have heard that you want to keep a CPU at around 40 degrees, same for GPU somewhere, and my numbers are almost double that. is my system fine, or should I consider finding external ways to cool my system?
btw my system has a core i5 10300H and a 1660 ti Max Q, 16 gb ram

Those temps are fine (impressive for a laptop tbh). 40-50c is normal for idle and 70-80c under load

Is the asus ai suite fan controls connected to the bios fan control? Because i changed the ai suite fans to silent and its alot quieter now. But in the bios it still says full speed. Do they control different things or
knotty eagle
Software has to load before it works
So, in the OS, fans are silent. In the BIOS, without AI Suite loaded, BIOS controls them

Whats the best way to clean your cpu fan? Should I use compressed air?
knotty eagle
Yes
and a paper towel get the stuck on stuff
However
hold the fan with your finger so it doesn't spin
If it spins too fast from the air you can damage the bearings

Hello Friends... I need help with my MAG CORELIQUID 360R
knotty eagle
?
finite haven
I want to know if exists the possibility of having an APP to control and see how it works
knotty eagle
Do you have an MSI motherboard?
finite haven
yes MSI MPG Z490 Gaming EDGE ATX
low pumice
Dragon Center may be an option
finite haven
and about this motherboard have others questions... because I can see the temperature of my GPU
knotty eagle
Dragon Center can control it then if the aRGB cable is plugged into the motherboard
finite haven
Yes I have installer the Dragon Center but only can see the RPM of the pump but dont have options to know more
knotty eagle
You need the aRGb cable from the pump to the motherboard
The two in this picture, one from the fans and the other from the pump
finite haven
the connection are well.. the PC are working ... the case is MPG GUNGNIR 110M
but I think so the I9 10850 are little high temp
knotty eagle
Pump speed should be set to 100% in BIOS
finite haven
so, I dont know if I can increase the speed directly to the MAG CORELIQUID 360R
knotty eagle
Fans variable in Dargon Center
knotty eagle
For the GPU, use MSI Afterburner
finite haven
OK, I never hear that app
knotty eagle
It's for the GPU temps and fans
finite haven
so there in MSI Afterburner I can see the GPU?
knotty eagle
yes
finite haven
NIce
knotty eagle
Can also use it to overclock the GPU if you want
wanton zodiac
What cooler would u guys recommend for the i5 10600k?
finite haven
good I appreciate your help... other question... about the rgb lights
finite haven
the fans lights works and change the style only with bottom LED in the top of the case but not with the software Mystic Light
knotty eagle
Do you have both the pump and the fans connected to the motherboard aRGB header?
finite haven
the Case come with a small board I connected all light there (fans & Pump head light) and this board connect directly to the mother
in the software mystic light just I can change the RGB light of the motherboard and ram & GPU but not fans weird!
knotty eagle
I would assume the controller you're using is interfering. I wouldn't use the case controller and would just connect the fans and pump to the MB
finite haven
Ok I need to try.. when decided use this is because I know the motherboard look more clean of cables. One cable for like 6 fans
knotty eagle
Hmmm
wanton zodiac
10600K? something like this
Thanks dude
finite haven
Maybe.. because all parts are MSI (case, fans, mother, cooling) I think the controller are compatible but maybe not
knotty eagle
Well, there are two versions of RGB
3 pin = 5 volt aRGB
4 pin = 12 volt RGB
Manufacturers make both
It's confusing
knotty eagle
YW
agile sail
anyone mind helping me understand what i need for a 6 fan corsair configuration like if i buy a 3 pack and 3 individual fans will all the rgb have enough headers and any recommendations for a fan hub for these fans?
knotty eagle
You'll need a cooler master fan hub
digital sandal
generally its 6 fans
knotty eagle
Just make sure you get the right version
There's RGB and aRGB
3 pin = aRGB
4 pin = RGB
agile sail
well the 3 pack i think comes with an rgb hub? if im not mistaken im not actually sure
knotty eagle
It may, just be sure it's whichever your motherboard needs
RGB or aRGB, there's two versions
And that the hub can handle 6 fans
Some only can do 3 or 4
agile sail
alright ill double check
im not sure what this is from the 3 pack of the ll
but this seems to be the 6 fan hub and my motherboard has a 4 pin rgb header
and what cooler master fan hub?
atomic jetty
get a commander core if you can
wait nvm I think that might only work with their aios
knotty eagle
SOrry, I got Corsair and coolet master mixed up
I though you said cooler Master fans
atomic jetty
no I'm double dumb, that should work fine
agile sail
ah ur fine
knotty eagle
Yeah that should be good
agile sail
but i think i still need a fan hub cause my motherboard has only 2 case fan headers any recommendations?
knotty eagle
nah
That controller has a cable that goes to motherboard fan header
For speed control
knotty eagle
hang on. Corsair and RGB yeah? 4 pin RGB header or 3 pin?
atomic jetty
corsair commander core has 6 fan ports and 6 rgb ports
I think the lighting node pro is just an rgb controller with 2 channels that comes with an rgb hub
it's a 3-pin connector for each channel of the controller and the hub has six 4 pin ports
knotty eagle
yeah, for the controller. What does the motherboard have though?
atomic jetty
if he's gonna get a corsair hub I think they all connect to mobo via internal usb
atomic jetty
lolol
agile sail
um my motherboard only has 2 fan headers so thats the issue that im having as well other than that i think im fine
i think it only has 2 atleast
knotty eagle
The controller has 6 fan headers built in
Then the controller goes to a single fan header
So you can control them all from one place
atomic jetty
yeah, with the corsair hubs as long as you have a free usb2 header on your motherboard you'll be good
knotty eagle
The ydon't use a fan header either?
atomic jetty
they also take sata power
agile sail
wait i thought that was just an rgb hub?
knotty eagle
Yes
agile sail
and its sata 
atomic jetty
I'm not entirely sure if they sell them separately though, mine came with an aio
agile sail
yeah im looking for it doesnt seem so
atomic jetty
the commander pro would work but you might need the extra rgb hub
agile sail
would it make sense to just buy a fan hub and have the rgb hub as well or should i just get a commander pro
atomic jetty
depends on cost and how many extra boxes you want to mess with I guess
agile sail
yeah let me compare the price differences
agile sail
might just go with fan splitters honestly
atomic jetty
might be wise

thank you i will choose the 240mm aio, my case has ventilation on the top across and in the back where it normally is and slightly in the front with two fans, should I mount it on top or somewhere else?

prefer top mount to keep the pump flooded and use the fans as exhaust. You can also use it in the front, just be sure the pump is higher than the tubes. So the tubes at the top

Anyone has experience in using arctic p12 pwm pst case fan?
I have 3 as front fans intake. Daisy chained them up with the pst cable. Turned on PC, all fans are spinning. However, the strength of the wind are different for each fan even all fans are running at the same rpm, assuming they are since they are using PST.
So first fan is connected to the mobo, 2nd to 1st, 3rd to 2nd. 1st fan wind strength is the weakest, 3rd fan is the strongest.
I find it very weird. Anyone had any experience with it?

so y'know how running sub ambient is limited by the dew point as calculated by the local humidity? What if there was a way of piping desiccated air into a pc so that the dew point is lower? What if it so happened that this way of desiccating the air also happened to cool the air? What if this hypothetical desiccator based air conditioner just so happened to be one of the more energy efficient methods of air conditioning? That would be pretty neat to see in a build: combining the TEC cooler that der8auer tested a while back with a liquid-desiccant-based AC.

I have a lian li pc-011 dynamic and am wondering if this idea I have is dumb. I have a 240mm rad for my gpu and a 360mm rad for my cpu. Was going to run the gpu rad as exhaust out the side and the cpu rad as exhaust out the top and intake through the bottom. I have another fan spot left on the side. Should I mount it below the gpu rad or above? I feel like there's a good chance it could just suck the hot air the gpu rad kicks out right back into the case. Otherwise I'll just leave it as an exhaust to pull more air through the system in general or maybe leave the fan slot vacant all together.

@knotty eagle PC Part picker says that the Dark Rock 4 fan is incompatible with my case. is that something I should be worried about that? I have an older case, so maybe the dimensions aren't accurate?

Probably the height then

Will a 64mm thick 480mm rad be enough to cool a Ryzen 5900x and a 6900xt?

Is going from the Corsair H100i PRO XT to the Corsair H100i Elite Capellix a good idea? I'm currently using the PRO XT with a Commander Pro, which also manages my LED strips, and I'm not totally sure if the Commander Core is a point for or against getting the Capellix in this context
atomic jetty
the only effective difference is going to be more rgb
do you know if the elite capellix can run through the commander pro?
long parcel
The Commander Pro has two USB headers, which the Commander Core can be plugged into
I think I'll just stick with my PRO XT then, as the Capellix's dependency on its own unique controller is a huge point against purchase

Thanks!

hi so I want a rly cool and quiet cpu cooler but in a budget of 70$. Is the noctua u12s good for the 5600x?
atomic jetty
that would be good, I really like Be Quiet's coolers too
robust blaze
I prefer noctua a bit more but I will look into be quiet coolers since I’m getting silent wings 3s for my cas fans
low pumice
@robust blaze try ninja 5 or fuma 2
Those are much better than u12s at the price point
atomic jetty
I weigh aesthetics too heavily for air coolers lol
robust blaze
idk about fuma since I think it’s grey but ik asthetics aren’t important

I weigh aesthetics too heavily for air coolers lol

upper sluice
Is this intake
This outtake?
I have 2 extra fans to put on top
Do I put as intake or outtake or 1&1
velvet rain
bottom and front as intake, top and back as exhaust
i typed that so much lol someone pin that
velvet rain
some cases like o11d have bottom fans
atomic jetty
yeah your fans are fine
upper sluice
velvet rain
if u dont then just do front intake
atomic jetty
you have intake in the front and exhaust in the back
atomic jetty
the plastic cross bars are always in the back of a fan fyi
so that's the side air comes out
upper sluice
Ok
So I’ll have 3 exhaust and 2 intakes
Thanks
I have to take my mb out ughnnnnn
atomic jetty
if that's how you want to set it up, sure
upper sluice
Is that bad
atomic jetty
differences in performance are minimal, but if you have more exhaust than intake your case might get dusty a bit faster
velvet rain
then just save one fan for later
and put one extra fan on top
so 2 intake 2 exhaust
upper sluice
Ok
atomic jetty
^that's how I have mine set up atm

lol yep that's fine

how much does a 3 pack of sl120 uni fans cost?
usually around 125$

that was the last price ive seen its been out of stock

they look so good though
i good alternative (although no fans come as close as the unifan in looks) is the white coolermaster sickleflow

the 3 pack also comes with their lighting controller

not sure why but NewEgg's help chat sent me here. I bought a Cobratype VENOM Gaming Desktop PC for my daughter for the holiday and it appears to be overheating a lot. The rear case fan doesn't seem to be working so i wanted to replace the fan. Does anyone have any recommendations as the original purchase on new egg isn't very useful for figuring out which case fan I need.
knotty eagle
Hmmmm
low pumice
Well, from the looks of it, the glass front panel is most likely the culprit for high temps, but on a side note, what are you using to track temps? Some software can be inaccurate and all. @reef nimbus
knotty eagle
That has some odd shaped RGB fans in it
low pumice
Somewhat look like lian li unifans
low pumice
Looks like it might be
proven solstice
actually, I think thats apevia phoenix
reef nimbus
using the AMD control panel that came with the graphics card. It can track temp and I noticed it was climbing pretty quickly when she plays games like Phasmophobia.
it being the temperature.
low pumice
Can you give me any specific numbers?
reef nimbus
last time I tried it it went up past 70 c. Unfortunately she only has the one monitor which makes it hard to see precisely where it was rebooting.
low pumice
Well, becoming too hot usually doesn't directly cause rebooting, and I believe max temp before thermal throttling on RX580/570s was 85c or 95c.
Anyways, if possible, can you try using it with the front panel taken off? A solid front panel can seriously affect airflow and cooling @reef nimbus
atomic jetty
newegg help chat telling you to ask randoms on discord is...one way to do things I guess
reef nimbus
hrm... can try that. Seems silly to use glass if it's going to interfere with cooling.
knotty eagle
I mean, newegg isn't going to know what fans are in it
Glass is for looks, not cooling
reef nimbus
@atomic jetty - yeah that's what I told them.
knotty eagle
Mesh is for cooling
They sent you here so we could figure out what fans it had so you could order some
reef nimbus
is there a better way of finding out what's causing it to reboot?
knotty eagle
Windows Event Viewer
Look for Error events
It will have a 0x00000 stop code and a file name
reef nimbus
bleh I was hoping for something else but thank you'll take a look.
knotty eagle
if you find a code ask and we can figure it out
Mioght be a bad driver that needs updating
BUt I agree with Mr1111, take the sidepanel off
and see if it stop

yikes.
alright... had to update her AMD driver... launching Phasmophobia which is the thing that seems to crash the most.
I've got the AMD control panel overlay up.
avatar is currently just sitting in the van doing nothing and the GPU is at 61 c
damn... her graphics are so much nicer than mine. Clearly I need an upgrade to my Pc.
low pumice
Well, anyways, how about the crashing?
reef nimbus
nothing so far.
I cleared the even logs so I wouldn't have to go far to find any errors.
low pumice
Might've been the drivers too, early AMD drivers were buggy, updates fixed em, but do run for a while for testing
(assuming rx580 which was on the model I found when I looked the pc up)
reef nimbus
temp seems stable at 71 c... and no crashes so far.
but I do have the side panel off
low pumice
Since there's 2 factors now, drivers and side panel, could try a while with side panel on to see if it crashes
reef nimbus
it's been going for two hours now with no issue. I'm gonna put the panel back on.
Also I'm wondering if maybe the outlet she has it plugged into isn't messed up. or maybe the power strip...not sure.
reef nimbus
Just found out why the back fan wasn't spinning.
there's a fan on top of the CPU that's freaking huge.. it's actively rubbing against the back case fan. Once I moved it a little the back case fan started right up.
wtf
reef nimbus
interesting.. it just died.
low pumice
With side panel on or off still?
reef nimbus
ok I see a critical error that says it just down expectedly. Doesn't say why tho.
no I put the side panel back on
low pumice
hm
reef nimbus
weird... now it can't connect to the wifi here.
low pumice
maybe a restart might fix it
reef nimbus
moved the wifi dongle (i hate dongles) to another usb 3.0 port... immediately crashed again.
though it is connected to wifi on reboot
low pumice
USB 3.0 can be weird, try usb 2.0 port
velvet rain

low pumice
Like bad usb device or usb device that just doesn't want to work well can crash your pc

for things like dongles and peripherals use usb 2

nah man @velvet rain I gotta get my 10000000000hz polling rate for my mice
reef nimbus
don't think the USB dongle is the problem... was having it the same issue with the one that came with it.. replaced it with a brand new one by a different brand name.
low pumice
but I think mice might be better for usb 3.0
velvet rain
with the right mouse
reef nimbus
hrm ok I'll switch to usb 2.

also things might not be hotswap so they might not like changing ports while the computer is on

like unplugging displayport just shuts off my pc for whatever reason

I don't know why
and it's either side of the cable
if I unplug from display, pc shuts off
if I unplug from gpu, pc shuts off

but I'll test it in a few months

silk salmon
Been a while since I've upgraded PC parts - so I'm seeing that positive air pressure setups are getting more popular; switching cases, changing fans
planning on putting the radiator at the top, was going to have it be an exhaust with 2 fans, 3 intake fans and the rear exhaust fan
should I join that bandwagon and convert the 2 fans for the radiator into an intake for more positive pressure?
knotty eagle
Exactly. Top is exhaust, help the heat escape

what is a good cpu cooler for an i7 7700k that is not gonna cover any ram slots. i have a Rog strix z270e gaming dont know if that makes any difference

Not sure how to improve cooling in a new build. Have the TD500 Mesh coming and going to be using a R7 3700x and 2070super with the Noctua U14S. Case supports additional 120mm fans. Any recommendations?
knotty eagle
Front intake
Top and rear exhaust
You want slightly more intake than exhaust
I'd go 3 front intake
2 top and 1 rear exhaust
near wadi
The TD500 has three front. So which 3 should I look to purchase for the top and rear?
Would like RGB cause I'm cool like that.
knotty eagle
I THINK it comes with these but I'm not 100% on that https://www.coolermaster.com/catalog/coolers/case-fan/masterfan-sf120r-rgb/
near wadi
Meaning those would match the three on the front of the case? If so that's awesome!
proven solstice
iirc those case fans do not match with any other fans, but they were based on masterfan 120
near wadi
I'm not super concerned with the literal fan matching. As long as the rgb matches colors and it works in my case I don't care.
It was just a nice bonus if so
knotty eagle
@proven solstice Do you know if that case is RGB or aRGB?
near wadi
Sorry I said the wrong thing at first. My fault. Thank you!

Gotta love it. I appreciate the help. Almost done with this build!

I cant face the cpu fans towards the ram because the rams blocking the other side should i just make the back fan intake
tired fog
send a pic or a drawing of what you're trying to do
having a hard time visualizing it so the pics would help
glacial sequoia
How do I know what temps I should be running?
Also what would be the next step in more cooling? I've double and triple checked that everything is running the correct direction, I have an AIO and a couple of fans, would it be as easy as upgrading all the fans? The AIO is an H115i PRO, would it do anything/be worth it to upgrade the fans to Noctua F12 Industrials? and some Noctua NF-A14s? Would that do much?
low pumice
What temps are you running right now
And are you confident in your thermal paste spread
glacial sequoia
Between 50c-60c idling at my CPU and GPU and ~85c playing some intensive games, and yes on the thermal paste
near wadi
Diff between the coolermaster SF240R and SF240P? They are both dual fan aRGB that would work for me but one is $20 cheaper?
Just the number of LEDS?
low pumice
@glacial sequoia what cpu?
glacial sequoia
3700x
glacial sequoia
wdym
low pumice
Would not expect 85c under games on an aio for 3700x
Expect more like high 60s to 70s, unless you got an oc
glacial sequoia
What should I look for with incorrect mounting
atomic jetty
what cooler are you using?
nvm I can read
I have no clue what could be wrong, I use an h100i on the same cpu
lucid ocean
Top mounted 240 mil aio exhausting (3 140 front, 1 140 rear) vs front mounted 360 aio (+2 120s exhausting top, 1 120 rear exhaust) in a p500. Which would you recommend?
Debating if the difference between 120s and 140s is enough to justify going with a 240 vs 360 aio.
And no, I’m not considering using a combination of sizes, I just can’t.
tough dawn
is it okay to have the system fans (not the aio cpu ones) set to not spin when the cpu and gpu temps r low (e.g. ~30 C)?
or should there always be airflow
near wadi
Looking at coolermaster SF240R and SF240P They are both dual fan aRGB that would work for me I belive but one is $20 cheaper? Looks like it just has fewer LED and is a few decibels louder but if both are 120mm aRGB there's no reason I can't use it right?

Don't underestimate what Noctua can do
P12 are good
Arctic P12 is like the only fan I recognize as a real competitor to the nf-a12x25, because of how it can get close, but for much cheaper.
topaz blaze
P12 PST not as quiet as I thought it'll be. Curious if someone has experience with both P12 and P12 PST. Also if anyone knows if the fans that come with the Arctic Liquid Freezer II spin at a different rpm than the regular P12?
They have a embossed badge/significantly shorter cable and I don't know if that's the only difference
I've set a custom fan profile to tone it down, but still. Am I expecting too much?
