shrewd juniper
Depends if you don't mind your room being that temp, i personally like to limit it to 60c
knotty sparrow
The amount of heat produced will be the same though, unless you underclock it. At a higher fan speed it just moves the heat more effectively.
shrewd juniper
Well not really 60c is a noticeable diff then 80 even if less heat overall
shrewd juniper
Spreads better
That's fair ik i just cba lol

Hey so sometimes my fans or i think its cpu fan is loud on start up and then it calms down, sometimes i have to restart because it wont stop, right now my computer fans starts up quiet and then all of a sudden gets loud
knotty sparrow
Starting at max speed is normal. If it's getting quiet after booting, then loud again, it's heating up. You can adjust the fan speeds in BIOS or with your motherboard utility program.
low pumice
Just fan curves doing their job
tough stone
alright its just weird cuz it just happened today
so i need to turn down fan speeds in bios
shrewd juniper
Well if they're too loud for you and still have okay temps then you can but you def don't need to slow down your fans

Stock cooler? I would increase my fans personally if possible

If I currently use a wraith prism cooler and I move to a top mount aio could I expect to see ambient case temps drop and expect thermals to be slightly better for my gpu or will it not really matter?

Pretty sure Asia horse uses a proprietary connector for fans no? Is it standard like a motherboard plug for the accessories?

Yes it does, for the plug on the hub its 3pin and also has a gigabyte connector
I wanted to sync all the argb

From what I'm seeing, all of the fans have a 6 pin cable, yeah?

topaz blaze
hey is anyone able to help me with a few questions about a cooler i just bought
knotty sparrow
Sure, what questions
topaz blaze
i just bought a corsair h100i elite capellix all in one aio liquid cooler and my buddy told me they come preinstalled with coolant and ive looked everywhere to see if thats true and i cant find any answers and ive never had a aio liquid cooler before and dont really know like maintenance or how much or often to change the coolant
knotty sparrow
The coolant will already be sealed in the loop. AIOs are good options mainly because of how low maintenance they are, while still getting the benefits of liquid cooling.
You shouldn't ever have to change the coolant. It's sealed, unlike an open loop, so nothing can get in to contaminate it. You only need to blow the dust off the radiator and fans once in a while.
topaz blaze
okay awesome thank you so much ,new to liquid cooling so it kinda frightened me at first
knotty sparrow
It's honestly not as complicated as you think. The pump will be on the cpu block, and plug into the pump header. The radiator fans will plug into the cpu fan header. If you got rgb, that goes in another header.
Then the only thing to worry about is screwing it to the case, which is only slightly different from just fans.

I have everything installed like the manual said it’s just I was really worried if it even had coolant lol

for air coolers, low end are the gammax 400, vetroo v5, se-224xt, mid tier are the mugen 5, fuma 2, dark rock 4, d15s, high end are things like the d15, u12a and dark rock pro 4, for aio's, liquid freezer ii 240+, ek-aio basic or rgb 240+, and galahad 240+, there might be more to add on to that but it's generally what we recommend

The MAG cooler will be more than you need. Plenty of overhead room for overclocking. But the Lian Li Vintage linked is better price/performance.
knotty eagle
240 or 360mm is fine, I'd recommend the Galahad over the MSI
quasi zodiac
msi was my initial go to but that was simply to keep the rgb easily controlled. at this point i just want good performance and not insanly priced. that lian li looks nice and is a solid brand.
decent price tag too
i haven't dipped my toes into overclocking YET. but plan to soon enough
knotty sparrow
It would really be a waste if you didn't overclock with a 360mm imo. If you don't plan to really push it, 240 is plenty.
quasi zodiac
i havent pushed it yet but plan to
knotty eagle
yeah, I can push my 3700x to silly things with a 360mm AIO lol

Plug all your fans into this, then one cable to the motherboard. Controll ALL your fans from one header. 🙂 https://smile.amazon.com/DEEPCOOL-FH-10-Integrated-Occupying-Motherboard/dp/B077YHLDSP/ref=sr_1_7?dchild=1&keywords=deepcool+fan+controller&qid=1616869612&sr=8-7
Fan speeds anyway, not the RGB part
quasi zodiac
yeah thats the plan
low pumice
Smh you should give the NA-FC1 some love vintage
Who doesn't want a knob on their fan controller that can control speeds
knotty eagle
Why turn a knob when software can do it for you. XD
Why turn volume knob when KEEB can do it for you XD
low pumice
Because bios fan curves annoying when you have to go boot in and test how it sounds, rather than fiddle with the knob and get what you want :p
knotty eagle
Who says I use BIOS curve
low pumice
Also NA-FC1 is rated to do like 50 fans, just saying
knotty eagle
NA-FC1 has a knob and needs splitter cables and other things
Deepcool is cleaner install

I’m just curious about why that single fan selling so expensive, one for 40 or 50with rgb. Cuz I wanna buy 3 or 4fans to replace my Helios case stock fans.

That's about all you want to do on 1 aRGB header

that cooler master header looks like they will do 6...? are they counting "0" as 1 of their connectors?

I think the only reasonably priced argb fans might be the cooler master ones
knotty eagle
If you need 7, get 2 hubs
low pumice
Mf120r I believe they're called

would that include the 3 fans on the AIO as well?
or are they piggy backed together?

On the hub, all of the headers are usable, if that's what you mean....?
placid arrow
where is self promotion
knotty sparrow
where is self promotion
quasi zodiac
so ill have 3 140mm fans on the front 1 120mm on the back and the 3 that come with the AIO.
dunno if that means ill need 2 blocks then being its over 6 fans.
knotty sparrow
Your motherboard has several headers you can use as well, if there's too many for the hub
quasi zodiac
wow im stupid i didnt even think about that. it has a spot for the rgb too?
knotty sparrow
Yes, and each RGB header usually supports up to 3 devices
knotty sparrow
If you get a RGB hub that has separate power you can control everything from a single header
quasi zodiac
so you think it would be easier to get seperate header for fans and seperate header for rgb?
i havent planned any Argb yet except whats on the fans.
but will eventually add some
knotty sparrow
The fan power is a separate header from the RGB header, there's 2 cords per fan. Each fan needs one power header and one RGB header, or one port on a hub/splitter for each.
quasi zodiac
that cooler master that was posted runs off one header 6 fans and their rgb off of the one block
knotty sparrow
Correct
But you still need one header on the motherboard for fans, and one for RGB, unless it connects using something else for data like the USB 2.0 header.
knotty sparrow
That's ok it's a lot of wires to keep track of. It can seem overwhelming at first.

I recently bought a be quiet 802 and it comes with 3 stock fans, I was wondering if I should buy a noctua 12x25 and put it on the top back portion so there is flow on top of the case instead of just the 2 in the front and 1 in the back. Is this necessary since it already has 3?
I wouldn't want to introduce noise for a small change in performance/Temps, I make music so I want want it as quiet as possible.

the 12x25s are pretty much the quietest fan, followed by the artic p12s, i would say be quiets stock fans are quiet enough

if your hammering the cpu and it's not that hot, you have an issue
or maybe the cpu is very low power

It has an intel processor (haswell i5) so I'd expect it to generate a ton of heat lol

It lasts for barely an hour. A new battery with more capacity is arriving soon tho.

Got this laptop for free from my mom, as her business paid for it and never asked for it back, so not complaining lol
But they picked the lowest capacity battery option, 24Wh (+ 24Wh internal battery). Will be upgrading the external one to 74Wh.

That's a massive upgrade, plus battery degrades overtime

Position doesn't end up making more than a 2 degree difference. Top mount tends to be better purely for reduced air noise.
If you do front mount, have the tubes on the bottom preferably

Noob 🙋🏽♂️ I have 3600 with Stock Wraith Stealth cooler. Is that enough to keep the 3600 cooled? I was also just trying PBO. Since I’m a noob overclocker. 😬

overclocking on AMD is useless
maybe get a Gammax 400 or Vetroo V2 or something in the future

Now hold on here... I hope you mean manual overclock and not PBO overclock because PBO is amazing at overclocking

I'd assume they meant manually overclocking because pbo is great
