AL120's are better but very expensive and no low rpm options

Try looking at arctic p12 pst argb

[fossil cedar]

Phanteks also have some decent options

And lian li have their st120s? I think which are just normal white rgb fans 3 pack is 50$

[cyan ravine]

Ye I brought those up

Those aren't bad

[undone saddle]

Whats the name of lian li latest fans

[cyan ravine]

Or if you're insane, phanteks t30's with halos

[cyan ravine]

SL120

SL120 infinity

[undone saddle]

Well what i got will do.. i like freezing room anyway

@cyan ravine this ?

[cyan ravine]

That can work but 200 usd, kinda expensive for b660

Msi b660-a pro?

[undone saddle]

Will check

Almost same price so doesn't matter

Gigabyte mobo good?

[cyan ravine]

200 us

[undone saddle]

Like 25$ difference lol

[cyan ravine]

I'd take that

[undone saddle]

And thr giga looks like it has better heatsinks

[cyan ravine]

MSI vrms are really good

[undone saddle]

Oh

[cyan ravine]

Ye

They use like 105A compared to gigabyte 90A iirc

So they run a lot cooler

At least on 12th gen MSI has been decent all round

[undone saddle]

Msi 2 m.2 and gigabyte has my minimum 3

[cyan ravine]

You need 3 ok

[undone saddle]

I might just stick to the 330$ one

[cyan ravine]

Noooo

I think gaming x is ok iirc

But idk why it's so expensive

I don't remember it being 200 odd

[undone saddle]

So that vram dont effect performance much?

[cyan ravine]

Not really, it just needs to be healthy enough for an i7 which a good number of b660 are

I mentioned the differences to the msi to just sorta show that even if it's a bit more barebones it's still as good of a board

[dense marsh]

Hello advice on build to make this as solid as possible? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/xw3hFg
I already have the PSU / CPU / Case
I also need a CPU Cooler so reccomendations are needed Thank you!!

[undone saddle]

I see

Had to watch young Linus

[cyan ravine]

Is that psu's full name specifically supernova 750?

Or does it have two letters after it

[mossy venture]

What's your budget for the upgrade

[cyan ravine]

Like GT, GA, G2, P3

Also can you take that case back

[undone saddle]

I feel bad going premium on everything but cheap on mobo

[cyan ravine]

There's premium and then there's overspending lol

[mossy venture]

Here https://pcpartpicker.com/list/g9FQcb

[fossil cedar]

Would swap out the cooler for id cooling se 214xt

But apart from that, nice, 5600 for 150 is pretty good

[mossy venture]

Thought vetroo was better?

Mb

[fossil cedar]

Not worth 15$ more

They're about the same

[mossy venture]

Oh you said 214xt not 224

[desert gulch]

$35 is just too close to pa120 territory

[cyan ravine]

850W for a 5600 and 3080 is a bit high too

[fossil cedar]

Nah

[mossy venture]

Disagree, 3080 spikes pain

[cyan ravine]

I ran a 10850K and 3080 on an 850rmx

[mossy venture]

Not worth saving $15 to get the 750

[fossil cedar]

You can get away with a good 750w but if you're buying new 850w for a 3080

[cyan ravine]

OC'd to hell

[fossil cedar]

Also 3080 12gb

[cyan ravine]

Oh well that makes sense if that's the difference

[undone saddle]

We splurging today

[undone saddle]

[frigid night]

Solid build. What CPU?

buuuut oof 64gb ram?

unless you are going to be using all 64gb, you will exp slower than 32gb

[undone saddle]

Will check the prices if i see it here but most likely 12700k even tho u guys recommend f but price difference isnt much anyway

[undone saddle]

Slower really? I currently have 32 on my laptop and usually using around 20 or so

[frigid night]

yeah because you are having to dedicate more lanes to that extra 2 sticks. 64gb is usefull if you are going to use above 32gb.

What do you do that uses 20gb of ram?

[obsidian wigeon]

more ram is harder to run

for the memory controller

[frigid night]

I very rarely hit above 16 and that's with gaming/discord/15 google chrome tabs/ all my startup stuff and variours other stuff

[obsidian wigeon]

32 gigs is plenty for everything

[frigid night]

oh yeah memory controller. That is what I meant.

[undone saddle]

Last i checked 10gb idle so just guesssed 20 lol

[frigid night]

that's prob due to your laptop

[obsidian wigeon]

Why it uses 20 is because well, of extra ram it can use

[frigid night]

you're pc will most likely have 5-6 idle

[obsidian wigeon]

OS can scale ram usage with the amount available

As long as you don't have too little

[undone saddle]

Ohh

[frigid night]

plus Risen has a .bat file that can free up ram

I use it after every heavy session of ram use.

[undone saddle]

I notice when i run a game idk which app says around 3gb ram freed up

[frigid night]

you prob have a ton of bloatware on your laptop

that's using the ram.

[undone saddle]

Yeah 10gb idle is high

[frigid night]

with a diy pc and fresh install of windows and Risen's .bat debloater, you won't need above 32gb

[undone saddle]

As long as it wont affect the performance negatively its ok

[obsidian wigeon]

i idle at 4-5 gigs with 12 gigs of ram

kek

[undone saddle]

Like notable difference

[obsidian wigeon]

it sounds normal

for 32 gigs to have that idle

windows loves ram

but anymore than 32 is useless for a lot of cases

[frigid night]

you could end up not being able to post with 64gb if the memory controller can't handle it.

[empty pollen]

a 12700 could handle it, but it will be slower than a 32 kit anyway

ram is the one part where you cant go overboard, unlike psus or anything else

[frigid night]

how much slower you reckon?

[empty pollen]

enough to be noticeable on games, not sure on workload apps

stutter here and there

[analog pulsar]

https://i.imgur.com/ZxZxfw1.png I need to stop looking at stuff i cant afford

😭

[empty pollen]

at least the mobo isnt a digital storm xD

[undone saddle]

Thats like top everything lol

[undone saddle]

The mobo memory controller?

Oh nvm cpu's

[obsidian wigeon]

[valid ginkgo]

What does this USB adapter error mean and how/do I need to solve it

“Usb2.0 to usb 3.1 gen 1 usb header adapter” and “usb 3.1 gen 1 to usb gen 2 header adapter” is given and pc builder

[fossil cedar]

They are most likely talking about the internal usb headers for the front panel usbs

[undone saddle]

How long until the 40s rtx series release?

[fossil cedar]

4080 and 4090 prolly like 2 months

4070 prolly December

Etc etc

[oblique sage]

I’m so excited for my new rig to get here thanks new egg community

[valid ginkgo]

So like adapting the motherboard to the front panel ports?

[fossil cedar]

That's most likely what they're talking about ye

[valid ginkgo]

Are those something I would order or would it possibly be included in MB box?

[frigid night]

You must not be aware that it seems to be pushed back much further.

[fossil cedar]

Order although they are completely not needed, most motherboards will have the right connector, but if they don't you can just not use the front usb

[fossil cedar]

Tis leaks tho

[frigid night]

Leaks that its being pushed back yeah? Like.. we won't be seeing any 40 series release until well into 2023

Unless the 30 series can sell out faster than they have been

[valid ginkgo]

Okay thank you

[empty pollen]

leaks and leaks, we are thinking in the logical course.... nvidia wont allow free market for amd even for a couple months, that will be a disaster for their 30 series as well, plus nvidia will not miss the holiday season, it will end as disaster as well4

[fossil cedar]

I heard before december

[empty pollen]

7000 series and nvidia not showing anything to face that.... i dont think so

[fossil cedar]

Don't think they'd miss out on the Christmas market tbh

[empty pollen]

im more inclined that the "push to next year" is just a marketing propaganda to rush 30 series sales before the inevitable occurs: 40 series announcement

[jagged ember]

many sales on the christmas

[empty pollen]

yeah, nvidia cant miss that

it will be a disaster

[jagged ember]

also might be a good time to switch my god damn isp

[empty pollen]

and you cant sell 30 series if amd flood the market with the 7000 series

[jagged ember]

but that's non nvidia related

[empty pollen]

i mean nvidia have excess 40 series chips eating thru warehouse bills, that space aint cheap

at least when the 7000 series launch prices on the 30 series will crash again (most likely, but could be wrong)

hopefully 3080s below msrp

[crystal berry]

guys is 600W psu good for vga rtx 3060ti ventus 2x 8g ocv1 lhr

[frigid night]

Not sure. JTC released a good video (I feel anyways) about 30 series/40 series.

[empty pollen]

jtc is kind of a joke these days, most of the guys i know are pretty sure he is an nvdia spokeperson

[frigid night]

He addresses that opinion in the video as well

[empty pollen]

beign paid to try to instill panic on the viewers to buy now!

with the "i have insider info, a whole year of delay" "buy now! dont be idiots"

[crystal berry]

????

[empty pollen]

yes, good enough if you are an i5 user

[crystal berry]

am 12100f

[empty pollen]

more than enough 600w

[crystal berry]

its more than enough or should l make it to 550W

[frigid night]

He isn't really pushing for people to buy them. He's more so pushing for people to buy good gpus for a good price before it's to late.

[olive cypress]

600w could keep up 3060ti + i7 12th

[empty pollen]

you can even get away with 550, but better to have a lil headroom to spare

[crystal berry]

ok

thanks

[empty pollen]

750 is overkill

[frigid night]

maybe rewatch the vid with a different mindset.

[empty pollen]

the catch on his last video was the aproach to nvidia 30 series and saying: nah the amd cards not worth

while a lot of his videos were ok to the amd cards

like... everything is bad except the 30 series?

just now?

[frigid night]

hm, I don't remember there being ill towards amd. I'll watch again in a bit.

[empty pollen]

ill see that part and will give you the minute

[frigid night]

alright thank you

[fossil cedar]

Depends on the model of psu

[empty pollen]

speaking ill of the 7000 series, and having a moral dilema with miners: dont buy their gpus, they took those from you, dont reward them this time.... like? ok?

but i digress

[drowsy zodiac]

so with the Deepcool GAMMAXX 400S Will i need to buy a lga 1700 mounting bracket for my i5 12400f or will the fan work as is?

[obsidian wigeon]

They will

[drowsy zodiac]

they will referring to it will work as is? or i need a bracket

[obsidian wigeon]

I was referring it to as it'll work as is, yes

[fossil cedar]

It will come with lga1700 bracket

[jagged ember]

80plus bronze

[obsidian wigeon]

we need to know the actual model and brand

80+ rating means nothing, it's just an efficiency rating

[fossil cedar]

Need to know model, 80+ has nothing to do with quality

[jagged ember]

gigabyte bomb PSUs were 80+ certified

[obsidian wigeon]

and they're even gold rated

[empty pollen]

according to the benchmarks, 13th gen will draw more the 220w D: im scared

the power draw race is on

[crystal berry]

ok wait l know l just typed 80 plus bronze

[fossil cedar]

If you can cool it kek

[crystal berry]

pato el gato my psu is deepcool

[crystal berry]

@fossil cedar

that's the brand

[empty pollen]

deepcool is the brand... what model?

[jagged ember]

what's the model number lol

[empty pollen]

pro tip: replacing your house after it burns down is more expensive than spending $20 more on a good power supply

[empty pollen]

thats not a bomb, but not good either

[fossil cedar]

If you can afford 3060 ti you can afford a good enough psu

[empty pollen]

go for tier B or higher

https://cultists.network/140/psu-tier-list/

[crystal berry]

[undone saddle]

I should have waited thought like 6 months minimum damn

[fossil cedar]

I linked you an mwe v2 which is b tier

thats why im doing rn, holding on my 750ti a couple more months

:V

[fossil cedar]

[crystal berry]

buying from local store

[empty pollen]

september is 1 month away

[crystal berry]

sorry

[empty pollen]

just go to the store look at the ones you like and check at home on the tier list

then go again to the store and buy

[fossil cedar]

Or

Bring your phone

[empty pollen]

what kind of dark sorcery is this?

[fossil cedar]

🤯

[crystal berry]

sorry ehm

[fossil cedar]

This ones a bomb

[empty pollen]

ok if you have that rig then you can afford an A tier

do yourself and your home a favor

[crystal berry]

[fossil cedar]

Probably off of Reddit

Da600m is a bomb

[undone saddle]

The evga g6 supernova 1000w good?

[empty pollen]

@undone saddle is the best

A tier gold

[forest briar]

Just get an rm850

[crystal berry]

ama get this one then

[earnest olive]

...

[potent portal]

@fossil cedar Everything I've seen points at November for the 4090 only at the earliest, probably December. Then 4080 January, 4070 February.

[fossil cedar]

It's not good enough

[jagged ember]

seriously

[earnest olive]

ive seen this guy link 3 da600 variants lol

[fossil cedar]

If you can't afford a good enough one just drop down to a 3060 and get a decent psu

[jagged ember]

this psu powers your entire desktop

[crystal berry]

wym not good enough what will hapen

[jagged ember]

do not

cheap out on it

[earnest olive]

at this point let him do what he wants i dont think he can be helped

[fossil cedar]

Pc can just randomly turn off

[empty pollen]

bad psus tend to blow fets and start a fire

[crystal berry]

wel

[jagged ember]

it can fry your entire system if it's bad

[crystal berry]

idk then

buy a 500 dollar psu

[jagged ember]

but sure, cheap out on it

[earnest olive]

if you don't know then listen to the people trying to help you

lmao

[forest briar]

Rm850x

[fossil cedar]

No like a 70$ psu will do fine

[undone saddle]

Nice

[empty pollen]

a g6 850w, an A tier gold is like 90 bucks

[fossil cedar]

They in different country

[empty pollen]

you dont need 500 bucks for a good psu

oh

oh...

[jagged ember]

ohhhhh

[undone saddle]

Fire will happen

[crystal berry]

ight l get that

[undone saddle]

https://tenor.com/view/fire-fine-fail-burn-dog-gif-5848141

[empty pollen]

just go to the store, see the psus and check them on the tier list

https://cultists.network/140/psu-tier-list/

easy as that

any b tier or better will do just fine

[jagged ember]

or you can just buy whatever

and pray

[earnest olive]

https://tenor.com/view/gigabyte-psu-explodes-gamers-nexus-power-supply-gif-23202345

[analog hearth]

not this tbh

[earnest olive]

weee

[fossil cedar]

Please just control f the model of psu here first

[jagged ember]

we tell you this

so you may be self sufficient

[empty pollen]

like: GA, PM, etc, etc

and the list will take you there

[jagged ember]

that's the whole point of documentation and resources like that

[analog pulsar]

Perfect

[fossil cedar]

Or system power 9

If you can't find the model, search the brand then look through the models

[crystal berry]

too lazy

[jagged ember]

ok

[fossil cedar]

🤯

[jagged ember]

your funeral

[forest briar]

Freaking gamers man

[earnest olive]

you after overclocking

[analog pulsar]

[fossil cedar]

Then noones gonna help you

[earnest olive]

i mean you have people here literally willing to do the work for you and you don't want to listen

[forest briar]

You can here looking for help and then you’re doing everything in your power to ignore it. Quit standing in your own way homie

[jagged ember]

at this point, I think we leave him to his own devices

yeah, we dont get paid, we are helping for free, yet you are lazy to look with all the resources at hand.... sorry man, im really sorry for you

back to the topic... one more month to september 😄

im excited as hell

[jagged ember]

new gpus baby

or at least announcement

[empty pollen]

and new cpus

[crystal berry]

l can just find online then buy

[empty pollen]

will be an early xmas

[potent portal]

AMD is launching first in October by all accounts

[undone saddle]

I think still atleast 4 to 5 months for 40s series

[jagged ember]

time to upgrade my pc

lol

[analog pulsar]

Ew amd

[crystal berry]

why u excited bcs new gpus

[jagged ember]

goodbye 3600 and 2070

[empty pollen]

id say late october at the very earliest

[jagged ember]

hello whatever I decide to get

[potent portal]

Or you could wait until next year for Nvidia ig

[jagged ember]

mmmmm

[undone saddle]

https://tenor.com/view/lisa-su-amd-ryzen-cpu-gif-18741811

[analog pulsar]

Nah Nvidia is semptember

[fossil cedar]

Interesting I'd assume they'd get 4080 out December as they don't wanna miss the Christmas market

[undone saddle]

I just bought a gpu

[empty pollen]

this, probably 4090 and 4080 will be ready for xmas season

4070 probably on january

[potent portal]

That was the original plan but they have so much overstock of 30 series AIBs and retailers pressured them to delay

[analog pulsar]

4090 is all we need

[jagged ember]

no

5090

[empty pollen]

not my wallet nor my psu

[jagged ember]

you already know what it is

[empty pollen]

that monster is rumored to be 2.5 grands

and 600w

[analog pulsar]

[empty pollen]

ill be happy with a 4070

rumored to be equal to a 3090 at 300w

[undone saddle]

Didnt they say msrp for 4090 is 2k plus

[analog pulsar]

But performance booom

[fossil cedar]

Nothing official yet

[jagged ember]

we will see

[empty pollen]

everything around is just rumors

but early september will bring a lot of announcements

including the 7000 series (probably)

that will force nvidia to act

they have investors to feed

[undone saddle]

If its 1500 something then its time to buy

[fossil cedar]

Screw 40 series announcements I can't wait for D23

[undone saddle]

[analog pulsar]

Idk

[fossil cedar]

More marvel

[analog pulsar]

I heard other stuff

[jagged ember]

like this message from our sponsor?

[analog pulsar]

No

[jagged ember]

yes

[empty pollen]

nvidia stock will plummet if the 7000 series start selling like candy

[potent portal]

How long ago did you hear that other stuff? Because the delay is recent, like a couple weeks recent

[undone saddle]

[analog pulsar]

Hm

[jagged ember]

ifixit

[empty pollen]

imagine a 7600xt destroying 3080s at 400usd

[fossil cedar]

[empty pollen]

like bye bye 30 series

[undone saddle]

Aint noway

[empty pollen]

we dont know

its hypothetical

[undone saddle]

Destorying part maybe price part i highly doubt it

[empty pollen]

but if that scenario unfold, then nvidia will act

or something near those lines

[analog pulsar]

I mean 6900xt vs 3080

[empty pollen]

i dont know where the money is, on the mid range or the high end, but nvidia will need to challenge at least one of those markets... amd unchallenged will be a big blow to nvidia

depending on the announcements on september ill decide between 6900xt or wait for 7000/40 series... until then its 750ti time 😄

[undone saddle]

How old is the 750ti

[potent portal]

Only the 4090 is supposedly "double performance", and 4070 is supposedly close to the 3090 (while using almost as much power). Anything lower we don't know anything about.

just order the corsair CX650F

[empty pollen]

i had a 60ti for a couple months but i sold it to my sis

to have even more budget for the upcoming cards

🙂

[undone saddle]

But curious im sure even 50$ gpu must be better than 750ti

[empty pollen]

probably, but im not using my pc for gaming thses days, so... meh

[undone saddle]

I see

Yeah doesn't matter if no gaming i guess

[empty pollen]

yup, thats why im ok for now

still i miss doom eternal and warzone some days but

w/e i can live thru it

somedays i miss my 3060ti... then i remember why i made such sacrifice

[undone saddle]

U gave someone?

[empty pollen]

sold it to my sis for her new pc

400usd

[weary galleon]

Wait 2050 is actually a thing?

[empty pollen]

for laptops, yes

the 3050 and 3050ti was made for laptops long before the desktop 3050 existed... laptops have a different set of gpus

[fossil cedar]

Apparently so

[empty pollen]

a recent gpu anyway

[obsidian wigeon]

it is based on ampere

just 20 series branding

[drowsy zodiac]

how the corsair CX650F

how’s

i just ordered it

[vernal surge]

performance-wise, you can do much better for the money

[fossil cedar]

its a good b tier psu but usually bad price

[drowsy zodiac]

92$

after taxes

[fossil cedar]

yikes

[undone saddle]

These keycaps compatible with corsair k70 mk.2?

[fossil cedar]

lol i want to see ray tracing benchmarks

[drowsy zodiac]

yes

92$ CAD

normally 130$

[fossil cedar]

what was it before tax?

[drowsy zodiac]

62

and plus like shipping

[fossil cedar]

thats like 50% tax wtf?

[drowsy zodiac]

cuz shipping to i forgot

[fossil cedar]

how much was it including shipping without

no, the K70 MK.2 has a nonstandard bottom row

[drowsy zodiac]

here

lol

the product itself is normally 130$

so i think i snagged a pretty decent deal

[vernal surge]

so about $72 USD

[drowsy zodiac]

yeah

something like that

[fossil cedar]

yeah then ntb

[vernal surge]

not terrible, I guess, but for not much more (assuming similar prices for you in CA) you could get significantly better PSUs

[drowsy zodiac]

prices are stupid in canada

[vernal surge]

if your system isn't power hungry, it'll do the job just fine

[drowsy zodiac]

i’m getting a 2060 and it’s 390 w shipping and tax so probably about 200 usd

[fossil cedar]

new?

[drowsy zodiac]

2060 with a i5 12400f

[drowsy zodiac]

yes

all new parts

[fossil cedar]

seems a bit pricey but ntb

[drowsy zodiac]

yeah that’s what i was thinking

and a asus prime mobo

[fossil cedar]

shame i would have gotten this instead https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/product/34kWGX/msi-pro-b660m-a-wifi-ddr4-micro-atx-lga1700-motherboard-pro-b660m-a-wifi-ddr4

gets you wifi too which is nice

[drowsy zodiac]

the asus i’m getting has wifi

[fossil cedar]

probably more money tho

from what i can see on pc part picker

[drowsy zodiac]

about the same from newegg i’m pretty sure

[fossil cedar]

cheaper from ME tho

[drowsy zodiac]

agreed

and i got this antec case coming soon

[undone saddle]

Anything cheap on amazon compatible to it?

My niece removed all the keycaps from keyboard and most lost

Waste of $200

[vernal surge]

for some unknown reason, Corsair opted to go with a 6.5u spacebar. as far as I know, they're the only ones to do it. you'll be hard pressed to find an aftermarket keycap set that supports 6.5u spacebars. you'll probably be able to buy special one-off 6.5u spacebars, though

[undone saddle]

So only issue is the space bar and others ok?

[vernal surge]

1.5u and 1u bottom row mods are common for custom aftermarket keycap sets though. you can just combine with a one-off 6.5u spacebar

[undone saddle]

That sounds expensive

[vernal surge]

yes, but you'll need to go a more custom route to get the modifier support

"standard" bottom row is 6.25u spacebar with all 1.25u mods

[undone saddle]

I see might just ignore it thought it would be easy $30 fix

[earnest olive]

corsair going with proprietary crap is surprising to you?

really?

[vernal surge]

they've released keyboards with standard bottom rows. maybe they've come around, but it's not worth the retooling cost to change the K70

[undone saddle]

Better check this

Oh the one i sent screenshot of is the pro...the normal one fits m70 mk.2

[vernal surge]

well there you go

you gonna glue the keycaps on this time?

[undone saddle]

Well cant find the non pro version

Ganna check tomorrow getting late and early work

[vernal surge]

https://www.corsair.com/us/en/Categories/Products/Accessories-|-Parts/pbt-config/p/CH-9000235-WW

[undone saddle]

Damn $50

[untold vessel]

How do we turn on our PC build outside of the case?

I have the https://www.amazon.com/MSI-B660M-Motherboard-Intel-Socket/dp/B09PX7D8KY

But I can't find how to turn it on with my screwdriver for the life of me

[strong raft]

(Tap) the 2 pwr pins(with metal), that's it.

[jagged ember]

the green ones

[untold vessel]

How do I know my system is on once I touch them

My psu doesn't spin because of evga's eco mode

my mobo also has no led indicators

and I don't know if my monitor will instantly turn on

does it?

[strong raft]

At the very least cpu fan should spin a bit. Also use hdmi, to gpu if cpu doesn't have an igpu.

[untold vessel]

I'm using the CLC 280

?

gpu to cpu?

the only hdmi cable i have is gpu to monitor

[cyan ravine]

The monitor will show something if it's on, fans will turn

Hard drives go burrrr

[untold vessel]

HOLY

[strong raft]

All this running around. If everything is hooked up right, just hit the pins already.

[untold vessel]

IT WORKED

GUYS IT WORKED

HAHAHAH YESSSSSS

THANK YOU

[cyan ravine]

[untold vessel]

THIS IS BEAUTIFUL

[wide sparrow]

[drowsy zodiac]

[empty pollen]

i am beautiful

[mossy venture]

yes you are

[strong idol]

does anyone play warzone on radeon cards?

[desert gulch]

ofc

[formal girder]

If your running into crashing on warzone turn down your streaming budget

[unborn mesa]

Anybody know of a decent prebuilt pc for around 1200

[mossy venture]

https://www.newegg.com/abs-ala280/p/N82E16883360245?Description=abs 3060 ti&cm_re=abs_3060 ti-_-83-360-245-_-Product&quicklink=true

case is pretty bad, but best youll do unless open box

[unborn mesa]

Case is fine

[mossy venture]

not really, bad airflow

but itll be fine for the parts

they atleast wont throttle anyways, hopefully

[unborn mesa]

Take off glass

[mossy venture]

dust

[unborn mesa]

Not an issue tbh

Can clea it easily

[mossy venture]

would have to clean often, coming from someone who has their side panel off

what you could do custom https://pcpartpicker.com/list/3mkhFg

or g360a instead of that ugly case

[cyan ravine]

Would do frog's list tbh

[unborn mesa]

Friend wants to buy prebuilt cuz he lame like that

[unborn mesa]

I think i have it one sec

[mossy venture]

then that is likely the best he will find

[cyan ravine]

It's literally right there 6 messages up lol

[unborn mesa]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/mDF2W4

This one aint it?

[mossy venture]

no...

[mossy venture]

.

and are they in canada?

if so, thats very different

[cyan ravine]

That looks like the build I did a couple days ago

With pato?

[mossy venture]

what i would do for canada https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/K8r3gb

[unborn mesa]

Usd

[mossy venture]

then i would refer to my previous list here

[unborn mesa]

My bad for late reply

[mossy venture]

how could you

[unborn mesa]

Trying this argb cable but not working

[mossy venture]

i'll never forgive you

[unborn mesa]

Gpu leds are off still

any i cant do nun with open rgb

very annoyed that sapphire didnt include the 3pin argb cable

[cyan ravine]

You might need to use the sapphire software to link it to the mobo and then use open rgb

[unborn mesa]

already done bro

[cyan ravine]

Ah ok

[unborn mesa]

also having same issue with a 3070ti

[cyan ravine]

That was my entire sapphire experience in 20 seconds

I'm sorry

[unborn mesa]

lmao

i paid 1300 for a watercooled 6900xt and i went today to microcenter mf 6950xt is at like 844

[unborn mesa]

open rgb isnt even working for my ram sticks

[cyan ravine]

I mean I advocate for openrgb but every time I've used it Ive had issues

On the other hand it's worked on things even the proprietary software had issues with

[unborn mesa]

yea ik i like it more than any other

but its not working now and i hate it

idk what else could be controlling my board rgb

one stick dont even show up

@cyan ravine i downloaded the app for my ram it it works on the one stick open rgb dont detect

[earnest olive]

openrgb works better than my mobo rgb software

my mobo rgb software doesn't detect my ram but openrgb does

also controls my gpu and i don't think my mobo software would

also controls my mouse and i know for sure that my mobo software won't

it could control my keyboard too but i am too lazy to build custom firmware for my keyboard

[drowsy zodiac]

can someone send me decent cases with rgb fans included 80-90$ (CAD)

[mossy venture]

better to get smthn cheap like the mx330 and put fans into it

[drowsy zodiac]

where to get fans?

[drowsy zodiac]

i wanna see what cases people know first

[mossy venture]

p12 argb $50 cad

for a 3 pack

[drowsy zodiac]

i wanna antec df700 but it’s like 130$

[mossy venture]

$60 cad actually

[drowsy zodiac]

so i’m sure you guys know a cheaper case

that’s decent

[mossy venture]

https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/HBdpzf this is an option

[drowsy zodiac]

can like two fans go in the front and one on the back for exhaust?

[mossy venture]

yes

[drowsy zodiac]

and those would connect to my mobo

[mossy venture]

https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/product/rPjNnQ/bitfenix-nova-mesh-se-atx-mid-tower-case-bfc-nse-300-kkgsk-4a oh wait

[drowsy zodiac]

that’s nice actually

i like that one

so i’m assuming those lights are all connected and would connect to psu through sata or there all dangling and i’d connect to mobo??

[mossy venture]

they connect to mobo

[drowsy zodiac]

the antec had a fan controller

that connected to sata

[mossy venture]

thats weird

i could be wrong ig, @earnest olive has built in it

[drowsy zodiac]

in what case

[drowsy zodiac]

this

?

[mossy venture]

the bitfenix one

[drowsy zodiac]

ok bet

let’s see what he says ig

definitely a better price then what i was looking at

[drowsy zodiac]

it does have the controller but controller just connects to the mobo not to the data

that’s a good price

thanks for finding that!

[mossy venture]

np

[earnest olive]

can confirm it has an argb controller

[drowsy zodiac]

and the argb controller connects to the mobo correct?

do you have any pics of the pc with that case,

[earnest olive]

I just used the controller so I don't remember if it works with software control

there you go

decent budget option

[unborn mesa]

I got it to work with my gpu but still not working on my ram

[earnest olive]

what ram do you have?

[unborn mesa]

G skill trident neo

Its detecting one stick but not the other

[drowsy zodiac]

that’s fine thanks g

[unborn mesa]

@earnest olive do you have an idea what could be causing my second m.2 to not be detect on some startups

[earnest olive]

hm no clue to either one sorry

[earnest olive]

all good I think it works just not 100% sure

[grand quartz]

Hello again. Running into more issues with set up: Updated my bios to support 5700x. Now PC only boots into Bios: my SSD and HDD show on my list of drives, but not showing them as part of boot priority.

[undone saddle]

How to get cheap windows 10 on usb?

[stoic island]

the windows 10 download itself is free from microsoft

its the key that costs money

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10

[undone saddle]

Just need that file on usb right? And any trusted site with cheap keys?

[stoic island]

need to go through setting up installation media yea

the sites, well, its basically all the same risk

[undone saddle]

I see

Thx

[obsidian wigeon]

there's ways to get keys for free, but i can't go into details here xd

[undone saddle]

Yeah rather pay lol

[forest briar]

Kinguin has keys

[undone saddle]

Just not the 170$ on newegg

[forest briar]

Iirc they are around $20-$30

[obsidian wigeon]

100 bucks for an os indeed sounds like a scam

or more

[undone saddle]

yeah should be 30 to 40

[tribal crater]

Debating if I just finish this off adding new video card, ( 3080 TI or 3090 AIO) and ram to 128 and match the rest of the rgb and be good with it for a couple years or start a rebuild maybe only using the case,pump, and maybe fans. I9 9900K currently

[undone saddle]

Do you actually need 128gb ram?

[willow quest]

Does compressed air on the back of the process hurt it?

[undone saddle]

What current gpu and psu

[desert gulch]

just why tho

[tribal crater]

PSU 850, GPU 2080

[undone saddle]

If u going 3090 u might need higher psu

[tribal crater]

GPU definitely getting up grade. Ram figure if going to replace it might as well max it out

[undone saddle]

I'm not sure but the pros here say more ram going to slow up your pc if you arent actually ganna use it. Like above 32gb

[tribal crater]

Yeah though the gigabyte AIO one says it should be fine but questioning a 3090 using 2-8 pins to connect

O ok, then just swap out these for the same amount just matching rgb

[undone saddle]

Your ram rpg looks pretty cool why even change it just for the rgp

[obsidian wigeon]

not might

will need better psu for 3090 kek

[tribal crater]

Pictures don’t really show it well, ( I love this ram) but compared to the rest of the lighter tone rgb they stick out and don’t match the rest.

[undone saddle]

Cant be configured?

[tribal crater]

Maybe get the 3080 TI or 3080 gigabyte 12 gig GPU call it done. No the tridents Z royal or ( diamond ram as the wife calls it) are crystal and just really bright. Like shining a light through colored glass

[oblique sage]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/jkRD78

stealth build incoming no rgb

[frigid night]

this is the same exact build you posted 23 hours ago.

.

[desert gulch]

howd you see the link, its "stealth" i thought

👀

[oblique sage]

yeah im just excited finally got everything ordered will be here tomorrow expect 6950 will be here tuesday

[cyan ravine]

Hmmm

Asus tuf gaming a15

[oblique sage]

any keyboard and mouse recommendations?

[obsidian wigeon]

tuf a15 is good

[earnest olive]

stealth but increases room temp by 30 degrees

[desert gulch]

celcius 😳

[cyan ravine]

stealth

[obsidian wigeon]

human toaster

[undone saddle]

Mayhe he needed a heater

[sacred gale]

So

[oblique sage]

or just hoping for a non flashy great performance rig

[sacred gale]

I need a favor

[mossy venture]

That's what the h510 elite is for

[earnest olive]

no it's not

[undone saddle]

Nice build im already down $2677 and still havent bought cpu case and storage

[mossy venture]

Keeping the heat in

[obsidian wigeon]

What favor?

[mossy venture]

If your pc outputs tok much heat, just use an h510 elire

[earnest olive]

it'll only keep the heat in until it explodes

[mossy venture]

It'll keep the beat I

I cant type

[earnest olive]

better idea

[sacred gale]

I'm wanting to ask if there is any way someone or anyone can help me start my pc.

[earnest olive]

run without a cooler so the heat doesn't leave the processor

[sacred gale]

Everything is in place but it will not start.

[mossy venture]

What about no vram thermal pads

Cough cough asus

[oblique sage]

you gotta be building a monster

[sacred gale]

I've been at it for about 3 hours now I'm beginning to think I don't know what I'm doing

[obsidian wigeon]

Is there any lights on your motherboard?

Any debug leds on?

[cyan ravine]

Asus tuf gaming a15, thoughts? I want ridiculously good battery life

[flint sapphire]

Make sure the psu is switched on

[cyan ravine]

It seems mid

[obsidian wigeon]

a15 has huge batt lol

[sacred gale]

Nothing

[obsidian wigeon]

90 watt hour

[cyan ravine]

Ye also 6800h

[obsidian wigeon]

and that's pretty good

not mid at all

[cyan ravine]

So big batt and big slap efficiency

[obsidian wigeon]

i can see 7 hours or more

easily

[cyan ravine]

Kinda want

[obsidian wigeon]

just limit the tdp if you need to squeeze batt life

[cyan ravine]

Once again I find myself looking at TUF lineup

[granite delta]

Can someone help

[obsidian wigeon]

Hm

[undone saddle]

I think I'm ganna switch to i9 12900k

[granite delta]

When I plug in my gpu I get no display

[desert gulch]

its horrible value but aight

[desert gulch]

what gpu?

[granite delta]

1650 super

[cyan ravine]

A5 K1 looks dope but I can see myself wondering why I didn't spend $300 more for 6800h

[desert gulch]

any riser cable?

[obsidian wigeon]

Hm, have you connected all the cables right?

Like cpu power cable

And motherboard power cable, the 20/24 pin

[granite delta]

Nope

[desert gulch]

so you have integrated graphics?

[obsidian wigeon]

a5 has tiny batt tbh

[granite delta]

Yes

[flint sapphire]

^on that note could you take a picture of the inside of your case Just so we can see everything @sacred gale

[granite delta]

And I’m pretty sure that’s the reason but I heard it’s supposed to show a display either way

[desert gulch]

can you get into hwinfo in windows?

or task manager or something

so we can see if the pc is even recognizing the 1650 super

[sacred gale]

Ignore the windows 11....

20 pin both cpu 8 pins f header are secured no?

I'm kinda lost

[granite delta]

No when I turn off forced for integrated graphics and it goes to auto I get no display from my gpu or apu

[obsidian wigeon]

Is there any switches on the back of the psu?

Sometimes you might need to flip the switch to turn it on

[sacred gale]

2 the normal on off and something labeled odb fan

[granite delta]

And my gpu turns on the fans spin

[sacred gale]

It's on

[undone saddle]

Just expensive shipping stuff here so its not a monster lol

[obsidian wigeon]

check the on off switch

and switch it to on

[undone saddle]

Total so far $2,677

• Asus tuf 3080TI OC
• G.SKILL Trident Z Neo ddr4 3600 64GB (4 x 16GB)
• MSI MAG Z690 TOMAHAWK WIFI DDR4
• Lian Li Galahad AIO 360
• 7 Lian Li UNI FAN SL120
• EVGA Supernova G6 80 Plus Gold 1000W

[obsidian wigeon]

if it's off

[undone saddle]

Clean

[earnest olive]

do you have a cpu with integrated graphics?

[sacred gale]

Does that matter if I'm just testing it to turn it on?

[earnest olive]

it won't turn on without graphics of some sort

[undone saddle]

Which lian li case is that

[cyan ravine]

[sacred gale]

Lian li snow white evo

[obsidian wigeon]

Oh yeah

[cyan ravine]

Ok I know which one I'm going for then

[obsidian wigeon]

Some mobos refuses to turn on

Without a gpu

[undone saddle]

Thats same as o11 dynamic evo? Nice same as the one im buying

[flint sapphire]

Wait, have you plugged in your case headers? Like the power switch

[earnest olive]

yeah i was looking at the manual for that board

[granite delta]

Me?

[earnest olive]

the front panel doesn't look plugged in

no

[sacred gale]

Does the I-9 12900k have itergrated graphics?

[earnest olive]

yes

did you plug in your front header or no

it's unclear from your photo

[undone saddle]

Can the g6 1000w handle i9 12900 and 3080 ti?

[obsidian wigeon]

yes

[earnest olive]

oh ok

[sacred gale]

That should be there.... right?

[earnest olive]

yes

[obsidian wigeon]

try connecting your monitor to the motherboard

that might work, i suppose

[granite delta]

@desert gulch what do I do

[sacred gale]

On it

[flint sapphire]

Wait isn’t the front panel the pins next to that? Or am I dumb

[sacred gale]

As for the case cables sata,usb should be good

[earnest olive]

nope

[sacred gale]

Connected I mean

[earnest olive]

front panel looks to be in the correct spot

[flint sapphire]

[earnest olive]

if that looks like front panel headers to you

might need your eyes checked

[flint sapphire]

The label next to it

🤷‍♂️

[undone saddle]

Can the g6 1000w handle i9 12900 and 3080 ti?

[earnest olive]

you were already answered

zz

[cyan ravine]

More than enough for both

[earnest olive]

@flint sapphire

[cyan ravine]

By a mile

[undone saddle]

I thought that "yes" wasnt for me lol

[flint sapphire]

Ah yeah my b

[earnest olive]

something like this is pretty common

if i said they're in the right place they're in the right place

[sacred gale]

Plugging it into my moniter did not work

[undone saddle]

I might be remembering wrong linus was testing maybe 3090 ti and i9 12900 the power draw was 1034w

This why pc crashed with 1000w psu

[earnest olive]

maybe maximum transient spike

[sacred gale]

I'm sad

Also

[earnest olive]

any chance you put the cpu in the wrong way?

[sacred gale]

None at all with a cpu that expensive I made sure lmao

[earnest olive]

i am pretty sure there's notches to prevent you from doing so but

you never know

i saw someone force a ryzen 7 2700x into an intel z390 motherboard with a hammer once

[flint sapphire]

[sacred gale]

Thats...

Yike

[earnest olive]

okay

next thing i'd advise you to try

[sacred gale]

No but I made sure it slipped in very carefully

[earnest olive]

unplug your front panel and use metal object (screwdriver ok) to short POWER_SW manually

these two pins

just connect them using any metal object

i literally just grab the nearest metal object

[sacred gale]

While it's on just tap the pins?

[earnest olive]

i've done this with knives, zippers, 3.5mm headphone plugs, ballpoint pins, whatever

wdym while it's on? thought it wasn't turning on

while power supply is on?

[sacred gale]

Yea

[earnest olive]

yeah

[sacred gale]

Just to make sure.

[earnest olive]

there is a chance the case has a broken power switch, this is how you turn it on manually

[sacred gale]

Th

This is on right.

[earnest olive]

by doing this you can eliminate the case as a variable

yes

[sacred gale]

I'm not crazy.

[earnest olive]

I = on
O = off

[desert gulch]

ooh sips

make sure a pcie isnt plugged into eps port

that could trip protections

since no dgpu that could be a possible mistake imo

[earnest olive]

if protections were being tripped it would be audible on startup attempt no?

[flint sapphire]

Yeah

[desert gulch]

probs but may as well check

[earnest olive]

do you hear a loud click when trying to turn it on

or just nothing

[sacred gale]

I hear the click

[earnest olive]

oof

[flint sapphire]

Uh oh

[earnest olive]

your psu cables are done incorrectly then

[desert gulch]

if i guessed this right thatd be crazy

i bet pcie in eps

[sacred gale]

I'll take a picture

[earnest olive]

hopefully you haven't fried anything

[flint sapphire]

Might also be the custom cables, could’ve accidentally ordered the wrong ones with different pin layouts

[earnest olive]

i don't think those are custom cables

looks like stock rm850x white to me

[sacred gale]

There not

[flint sapphire]

Ah kk

[sacred gale]

I

I can take it out for a clearer picture if needed

[desert gulch]

i want to see them on where they go to cpu power

they should have a little label on them

eps/cpu would be preferable

pcie would be a no-no

[earnest olive]

do you remember if the 8-pins you plugged into the cpu were capable of splitting into 6+2?

or perhaps 4+4?

[sacred gale]

It's 4, 4 pins

[earnest olive]

both of them?

[desert gulch]

both of them are?

[sacred gale]

Like 1 is 2 -4 pins I have 2 cpu cables that are each 2 4 pin

[earnest olive]

okay, those are correct then

[undone saddle]

Lian Li Galahad AIO 360 comes with thermal paste applied ?

[earnest olive]

if it doesn't it'll come with a tube

[desert gulch]

any hard drives or 2.5" ssds? @sacred gale

[undone saddle]

Cool thanks

[sacred gale]

It's the nzxt kraken z73

[earnest olive]

what model psu is this? i want to see the labels on the modular ports

[sacred gale]

I have to 2 980 pro 2tb

[desert gulch]

thats it?

[sacred gale]

Yeah

[desert gulch]

its a rog

[flint sapphire]

Isn’t there normally another 8 pin for the motherboard power I only see the one mobo cable plugged in

[desert gulch]

like on psu side?

[flint sapphire]

Yeah psu side

[earnest olive]

yeah

seems to be missing something for mobo

[sacred gale]

So I need that

[flint sapphire]

Should be split off the main cable

[earnest olive]

yet on the other side your 24-pin looks fine

hmm

i do see three connectors on this

check your mb cable

[sacred gale]

Did I install the 24 pin backwards?

Cus.

[obsidian wigeon]

no

[flint sapphire]

No it’s correct

[desert gulch]

its right

[obsidian wigeon]

there's no way for it to plug in wrong

[sacred gale]

So where does this go?

[desert gulch]

it wouldnt even fit

[obsidian wigeon]

because there's those plastic tabs that makes sure you plug them right

[earnest olive]

plug it into the other MB socket

that's probably the issue

[desert gulch]

. here

circled in red

[sacred gale]

POWER

but no fans

I may have plugged the lian li hub wrong

Help

[earnest olive]

welp, baby steps

[sacred gale]

But the motherboard is on

Main parts

Good

[flint sapphire]

[sacred gale]

Nzxt kraken is also not on so I may be missing here

[desert gulch]

the hub has power and is plugged into a fan header?

[sacred gale]

How do I know if hub has power?

Also no?

[desert gulch]

itll take power from a sata or molex, probs sata

[sacred gale]

It's in the usb slot

Right usb slot

[desert gulch]

lemme check how that hub works

i havent used that one specifically

[sacred gale]

It's a 9 pin

And that to a header would leave 4 pins out

5 sorry

[desert gulch]

yea idk i havent used that header
