That's a very, very uncommon double major , double majoring in engineering isn't usually worth your time or effort.

Oh the reason why I switched from a used 1070 to a new 1660, is because my dad said what if something goes wrong and it's the 1070's fault and the 1070 listing doesn't come with a warranty

If warranty and customer service is high priority, EVGA is often the crowd favorite.

I'll post a prospective build for once. 8AN SS braided tubing , anodized aluminum fittings, 60 psi diapham pump, using R410a->R134a cascade chiller. Unsure about coolant. I want to see how the chinese knockoff waterblocks compare to heatkillers.

little osprey Sep 15, 2019, 2:22 PM

At worst, the fan bearings are worn out, remove and zip tie a $5 120mm over the finstack. I might do the same on my triple slot card because EVGA uses tiny whiny fans.

If you've got a 4k budget, don't pinch pennies on the kf
Asame thing, why go for the z390-A Pro of all boards for a 4k build, especially when he wants at min 32GB , apparently 64

You can get a motherboard with built in bluetooth or use a bluetooth dongle

Just off the bat, I would recommend downgrading the CPU, getting a better gpu

Well, wait then

tacit edge Sep 16, 2019, 8:25 PM

#

and 3d modelling

short arrow Sep 16, 2019, 8:25 PM

#

Yeah, that stuff is pretty cpu intensive, i thought you were just going for gaming

tacit edge Sep 16, 2019, 8:26 PM

light gaming

but mostly heavy office workstation kind of stuff

for display i'd use a pen graphic tablet

Yeah, that stuff is pretty cpu intense

tacit edge Sep 16, 2019, 8:26 PM

frail zealot Sep 16, 2019, 8:28 PM

#

Now that I have a 144hz monitor instead of 60hz, should I be shooting for above FPS? Does hz = FPS? Please help

#

above 60 fps*

tacit edge Sep 16, 2019, 8:28 PM

#

no

#

hz is refresh rate

#

so max fps

frail zealot Sep 16, 2019, 8:28 PM

#

Ok, so what exactly does the extra 84hz get me?

tacit edge Sep 16, 2019, 8:28 PM

#

fps is still dependent on fps speed

#

its smoother for things where you do get high fps

#

some people say it is really much nicer

frail zealot Sep 16, 2019, 8:29 PM

#

Ok, for instance, battlefield 5, I have the option to run it at high for 65 fps, or medium for 95 fps

#

Which would you do?

tacit edge Sep 16, 2019, 8:29 PM

#

but if you cant net that high fps, it doesn't really matter

#

i'd go medium

#

but my current specs is amd a8 radeon r5 graphics so i deal with all sorts of lag

#

in my limited experience, higher graphics doesn't really make it that much nicer

frail zealot Sep 16, 2019, 8:30 PM

#

the 65fps doesnt lag at all, but do you mean Im missing out of frames by not being nearer 144?

short arrow Sep 16, 2019, 8:30 PM

#

If you want detail, go for the lower fps

tacit edge Sep 16, 2019, 8:30 PM

#

no i'm saying higher fps is more important because higher fps will look nicer, while better detail doesn't look that much better

short arrow Sep 16, 2019, 8:30 PM

#

If you want fps, go for the lower detail

tacit edge Sep 16, 2019, 8:31 PM

#

high fps is smooth motion, high detail is smooth shapes

#

essentially

short arrow Sep 16, 2019, 8:31 PM

#

^^^

frail zealot Sep 16, 2019, 8:31 PM

#

Doesnt it cap at 60fps? or it doesnt do that anymore since I have a 144hz monitor?

tacit edge Sep 16, 2019, 8:31 PM

#

it depends on the game

#

usually u have to raise the max fps setting in graphics settings

#

now that you have the faster monitor it can cap higher

frail zealot Sep 16, 2019, 8:32 PM

#

All my games are based around getting the best quality while retaining 60fps, now that I have a new monitor, should that change from 60 fps to something else?

#

what # fps? 100? 120? 140?

tacit edge Sep 16, 2019, 8:32 PM

#

it depends on your preference of smooth shapes and shadows vs smooth motion

#

that's a personal thing

#

me, i just go lowest graphics settings so that I can even get above 5 fps

#

but if you have an actual computer, that's your thing

frail zealot Sep 16, 2019, 8:34 PM

#

I have a gamiong rig

tacit edge Sep 16, 2019, 8:34 PM

#

i'd test out both to see what pleases you more

frail zealot Sep 16, 2019, 8:34 PM

#

so whats the max fps I can pull now? 144?

tacit edge Sep 16, 2019, 8:34 PM

#

yes

frail zealot Sep 16, 2019, 8:34 PM

#

so hz is related to fps?

tacit edge Sep 16, 2019, 8:34 PM

#

yes

frail zealot Sep 16, 2019, 8:34 PM

#

ty

tacit edge Sep 16, 2019, 8:34 PM

#

hz is how many fps your monitor can display

frail zealot Sep 16, 2019, 8:35 PM

#

I thought so, had others telling me theres no relation

#

thank you

tacit edge Sep 16, 2019, 8:35 PM

#

np

frail zealot Sep 16, 2019, 8:35 PM

#

so since you know what you are talking about

#

should I be lowering my settings to get closer to 144?

tacit edge Sep 16, 2019, 8:35 PM

#

again that is fully on you

frail zealot Sep 16, 2019, 8:35 PM

#

purely preference?

tacit edge Sep 16, 2019, 8:35 PM

#

yeah

frail zealot Sep 16, 2019, 8:35 PM

#

I dont know the difference yet

tacit edge Sep 16, 2019, 8:35 PM

#

whatever pleases you

#

just try medium graphics first i'd say

frail zealot Sep 16, 2019, 8:36 PM

#

Battlefield 5 runs fine at 65fps and looks beautiful, when i run it at 100fps it runs the same but doesnt look as good

tacit edge Sep 16, 2019, 8:36 PM

#

if you want it beautiful then go with 65

frail zealot Sep 16, 2019, 8:36 PM

#

maybe I cant notice the 35fps difference? not trained to notice it?

#

ive never played above 60 tho so idk what to even look for

#

its just what, smoother?

tacit edge Sep 16, 2019, 8:36 PM

#

buttery smooth motion, yeah

frail zealot Sep 16, 2019, 8:37 PM

#

hmm

tacit edge Sep 16, 2019, 8:37 PM

#

if you don't mind me asking, what did your rig cost?

frail zealot Sep 16, 2019, 8:37 PM

#

I got it on xmas for $900, but I've added a 1tb SSD and this 27 inch 144hz monitor

naive plume Sep 16, 2019, 8:37 PM

#

You’ll notice a major difference going from 60 FPS to 144 FPS.

frail zealot Sep 16, 2019, 8:37 PM

#

@naive plume Even with lower graphics settings?

#

Id have to go from very high to medium/low

#

each threshold is about 15-20fps

naive plume Sep 16, 2019, 8:38 PM

#

I missed what build you have, what cpu and gpu do you have

#

Did you go into your display settings and activate your monitor for 144hz? If not, then you’re not truly getting 144.

frail zealot Sep 16, 2019, 8:40 PM

📎 unknown.png

Now your games can run 144 as long as you’re not blocked by vsync

tacit edge Sep 16, 2019, 8:43 PM

#

oh the horrors of driver-land

frail zealot Sep 16, 2019, 8:43 PM

#

so I should be lowering the settings until I get as close to 140fps as I can?

rough loom Sep 16, 2019, 8:43 PM

#

up to you and what you like honestly man

#

staying around 70+ means its a smoother gameplay experience

frail zealot Sep 16, 2019, 8:44 PM

#

I feel like I wasted $300 on this monitor if Im only running at 60fps still, like what was even the point then?

naive plume Sep 16, 2019, 8:44 PM

#

It all depends! I’ve never played bf5, so I don’t know the graphical settings in there. Most games you won’t see much graphical problems with lower settings, but bf5 you might

rough loom Sep 16, 2019, 8:44 PM

#

but 60 fps is smooth anyways

tacit edge Sep 16, 2019, 8:44 PM

#

but if nice shaders and smooth shapes really make you happy then go for that

rough loom Sep 16, 2019, 8:44 PM

#

Ive got games that flux between 40 fps and 120. you can tell the difference

tacit edge Sep 16, 2019, 8:45 PM

I was playing Deep Rock Galactic yesterday and ultra graphics and low graphics literally looked the same lol

rough loom Sep 16, 2019, 8:45 PM

was it a waste? no

#

oh yeah I notice when it falls below 60, I just don't notice above 60

naive plume Sep 16, 2019, 8:45 PM

Now that you have it setup for 144 you’ll be able to hit those numbers! Or Atleast come close. A 1660 should be able to handle it

frail zealot Sep 16, 2019, 8:46 PM

sadly only 1060 3gb

the 570 is still a good card i am using that now

tacit edge Sep 16, 2019, 8:49 PM

ie should i go for a 8gb instead of 4gb or a 580 instead of a 570?

latent bronze Sep 16, 2019, 8:49 PM

#

Well until next month when i buy the 1660 >_<

naive plume Sep 16, 2019, 8:50 PM

8gb is better

latent bronze Sep 16, 2019, 8:50 PM

#

If you have the money you can go for it

tacit edge Sep 16, 2019, 8:50 PM

#

which has better price to performance?

rough loom Sep 16, 2019, 8:50 PM

#

mostly depends. Usually the higher card model means more raw computing performance. The vram buffer allows either higher Resolutions or better textures and AA settings

naive plume Sep 16, 2019, 8:50 PM

#

You’ll have more graphical memory to throw around with an 8gb

rough loom Sep 16, 2019, 8:50 PM

maxing out a graphics cards vram means stuttering and performance hits

Still for the air the be exhausted from the rear and side is a better option especially since you have no idea what kind of desk said person it using

#

if someone is using a small desk and only able to have the case on the floor you have no idea if there is even enough room for the top to exhaust out the air so by having it on the side makes it better

where am I supposed to put that?

even if it's a piece of cardboard.. or piece of wood.

Where are the wheels?

rough loom Sep 16, 2019, 9:24 PM

under it

its a good 1 inch off the carpet

if your gonna complain about a case. atleast know about the case

sudden turret Sep 16, 2019, 9:25 PM

🤔

rough loom Sep 16, 2019, 9:25 PM

or know how electrical grounding works

#

the 3rd plug on a PSU to the wall is the ground. specially for discharges incase its needed

sudden turret Sep 16, 2019, 9:26 PM

wow I had no idea.

I just thought it was the plugs nose.

that's why it's dangerous to saw the third prong off, it could kill you

what do you have that weighs 60lb, a giant server rack RAID array?

rough loom Sep 16, 2019, 9:32 PM

#

bunch of HD's in those racks inside, two graphics cards, heavy 1,000 watt psu. AIO and the case itself is 35 pounds without fans in it

#

you could be in a earthquake. part of your house fall on this case, and the components wuld still survive

latent bronze Sep 16, 2019, 9:33 PM

If you have cats why is your case on the ground instead of like on a table

rough loom Sep 16, 2019, 9:33 PM

no room unless I bought a side table just to put my PC ontop

Well buy a side table then

Ikea sells them for like 10$

tacit edge Sep 16, 2019, 9:55 PM

whoof

rough loom Sep 16, 2019, 9:56 PM

#

yea but its not a isolated thing. its attached to a board thats grounded to the case and PSU, thats grounded to the wall

#

if you hit just the cpu or a board that was sitting on carpet or something than thats an issues

#

you would have to hit a grounded board with an insane charge to damage it

#

like purpose caused damage, specially modern mobos

tacit edge Sep 16, 2019, 9:58 PM

#

"why didn't my pc survive the lightning strike?"

elfin flicker Sep 16, 2019, 9:59 PM

#

You also have to consider that your computer is really just a bunch of tiny electrical components working together. Sure, as a whole your mobo can take a lot. PSU even more so. But that tiny transistor isn’t going to survive being the victim of any significant ESD

rough loom Sep 16, 2019, 9:59 PM

#

also the wheels of my case are plastic, meaning they cant conduct charge anyways

elfin flicker Sep 16, 2019, 10:00 PM

#

I’m not saying you will have a problem, I’m just saying if you spend >1k on something you should consider the best way to care for it. Your PC your call my guy

rough loom Sep 16, 2019, 10:00 PM

#

honestly there was a few sets of videos a while ago that purposely tried to kill a mobo with ESD. It didnt work

tacit edge Sep 16, 2019, 10:01 PM

#

probably depends on the pc

rough loom Sep 16, 2019, 10:01 PM

#

the charge that was required was well more than anything natural or accidental could create

tacit edge Sep 16, 2019, 10:01 PM

#

and what you're willing to do to it

rough loom Sep 16, 2019, 10:01 PM

#

if my PC was like 90% plastic or something I would be worried

#

solid steel on plastic casters raised off the carpet by them, grounded to the wall, that has a beefy Surge protector plug between it and the wall

tacit edge Sep 16, 2019, 10:03 PM

#

what do you do with your pc that requires so much storage though?

rough loom Sep 16, 2019, 10:04 PM

I used to do youtube a while ago. and just have games and movies and stuff. Nothing fancy

if I needed more storage I would of made a NAS or something

Hey everyone, I'm about to purchase a full pc build and I'm trying to figure out compatability issues with my gpu aio cooler and cpu aio cooler. Please help so i don't need to refund anything.

The CPU cooler that comes with the ryzen is a pretty good cooler

Wraith prism is nice

@valid dagger Do you know anything about Ryzen because the 3600X comes with the Wraith Spire

the prism is the higher end CPU's

Speed fan is a good option for those who don't like the software options offered by the mobo vendor, or use a lab PSU 🙂

use a newer model

agile bear Sep 18, 2019, 2:17 PM

#

Why are you getting a b360 with a k skew

#

Doot

#

Don’t

#

Mix k with none z boards

lament blade Sep 18, 2019, 2:17 PM

#

This is my first time so I’m not quite sure

#

I just don’t know what the second error is

agile bear Sep 18, 2019, 2:18 PM

#

You can’t overclock with b360

#

Also b360 was made for 8th gen so it needs a bios update to support 9th gen and a bios update usually requires a 8th gen cpu

#

I believe

lament blade Sep 18, 2019, 2:20 PM

#

I’m trying to make a pc for long VR sessions and maybe recording but I want to keep it as small as possible

#

So I need to find a new motherboard that supports the cpu?

agile bear Sep 18, 2019, 2:21 PM

#

Yes

#

Unless the board has bios flash options

short basalt Sep 18, 2019, 2:22 PM

#

and add a cooler as well

lament blade Sep 18, 2019, 2:22 PM

#

I’m trying to keep it under 1500 what do you think would be a good option?

short basalt Sep 18, 2019, 2:23 PM

Oh awesome thanks

agile bear Sep 18, 2019, 2:25 PM

Just limit your motherboard to z390 to have best compatibility and overclocking

lament blade Sep 18, 2019, 2:26 PM

#

And I should use micro atx not itx correct?

short basalt Sep 18, 2019, 2:26 PM

#

I made this

lament blade Sep 18, 2019, 2:27 PM

#

Is this what you use?

short basalt Sep 18, 2019, 2:28 PM

#

No

#

it's a 1500 dollar build

#

I have an old and bad pc... it has an FX 8350 and a DDR3 ram... and the video card is GTX 1050 ti

#

rather bad but I dont have the funds to make a new one

agile bear Sep 18, 2019, 2:29 PM

#

You can use micro atx that’s just what came up when I did my search

lament blade Sep 18, 2019, 2:30 PM

#

Oh awesome wow

#

I’m trying to stick to a micro atx tower though bc I want it as small as possible

agile bear Sep 18, 2019, 2:30 PM

#

Also if the 2070 super isn’t in stock you can buy directly from Nvidia

lament blade Sep 18, 2019, 2:30 PM

#

I travel a lot so I want to make it small enough to fit in a suitcase

#

And move it between rooms in my house regularly for VR

agile bear Sep 18, 2019, 2:31 PM

#

Then I’d say go mini itx

lament blade Sep 18, 2019, 2:32 PM

#

Would my current case work with a mini itx board?

patent lava Sep 18, 2019, 2:36 PM

#

@agile bear mind if i PM

agile bear Sep 18, 2019, 2:37 PM

#

Sure

#

@lament blade you can but I’d recommend getting a smaller itx case

lament blade Sep 18, 2019, 3:54 PM

#

Would that be harder to work with? Also I really like the look and price of the one I have

#

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/PPqdn7

#

I changed the motherboard this is where I am rn

#

Also for CPU cooling I was thinking something like this https://pcpartpicker.com/product/JYCD4D/corsair-h100i-rgb-platinum-750-cfm-liquid-cpu-cooler-cw-9060039-ww but since this is a first build and it will be moved around a lot should I stay away from water cooling?

tidal bluff Sep 18, 2019, 4:02 PM

#

is that all u can fit is a 2 fan clc?

#

if u can fit it this one might be better https://www.newegg.com/evga-clc-360-liquid-cooling-system/p/N82E16835288014?Description=evga clc&cm_re=evga_clc-_-35-288-014-_-Product

#

but its a triple

lament blade Sep 18, 2019, 4:05 PM

#

📎 image0.jpg

#

I think it only fits two

#

And also I rlly want rgb but I don’t need it lol

#

Thx for the help btw

tidal bluff Sep 18, 2019, 4:22 PM

#

this one is 109 https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16835288009

#

2 fan 240mm

lament blade Sep 18, 2019, 4:25 PM

#

Is that a better option than this https://pcpartpicker.com/product/JYCD4D/corsair-h100i-rgb-platinum-750-cfm-liquid-cpu-cooler-cw-9060039-ww and also since I’ll be moving it around a lot is water Cooling a bad idea

#

I plan to take it with me to Europe every summer and move it between rooms in my house almost weekly

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/RcdFf7/cooler-master-masterliquid-ml240l-rgb-667-cfm-liquid-cpu-cooler-mlw-d24m-a20pc-r1 is this a good option or would it be unreliable

@lament blade That is also a good cooler

lament blade Sep 18, 2019, 5:24 PM

#

I think I’m going to go with it because I’m getting close to going over budget and I want to try to find some places to save money here

#

Also would this be everything I need or am I forgetting something? And also does that power supply look like it would work?

latent bronze Sep 18, 2019, 5:25 PM

#

For the master liquid there has been a lot of good video's on it

lament blade Sep 18, 2019, 5:25 PM

#

Oh great

latent bronze Sep 18, 2019, 5:26 PM

#

Also why not get a 3600X instead of the 9700K?

#

performance between the 2 CPU's are almost on par with each other and you would be under your budget

lament blade Sep 18, 2019, 5:29 PM

#

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/3WYLrH/amd-ryzen-5-3600x-38-thz-6-core-processor-100-100000022box

#

This one?

latent bronze Sep 18, 2019, 5:29 PM

#

yep 6 cores 12 threads

#

3700X is also slightly cheaper than the 9700K

#

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/QKJtt6/amd-ryzen-7-3700x-36-ghz-8-core-processor-100-100000071box

#

Also you can still use a Nvidia card with a AMD processor in cause you didn't know cause some people thinks you need to go AMD with AMD

lament blade Sep 18, 2019, 5:33 PM

#

Would I have to change my build around for that though? I’m okay with spending a little extra if the performance is the same

#

Also am I forgetting anything I know I need like thermal paste but what other stuff

latent bronze Sep 18, 2019, 5:36 PM

@lament blade What color do you like blue, red or green

Oh wow

latent bronze Sep 18, 2019, 5:38 PM

#

You can also add in a SSD to have a similar price to what you had before

lament blade Sep 18, 2019, 5:38 PM

#

Thanks for making this list

#

There’s just like a small problem I don’t want to be rude but it has to be micro atx or itx I need to keep it small

#

I plan on moving it around my house almost weekly and traveling with it often

latent bronze Sep 18, 2019, 5:39 PM

#

The addressable RGB fans you can replace them as well cause the cooler master AIO is also a solid color only

#

actually i think you can remove them since you would have all the fans you would need in that case already

lament blade Sep 18, 2019, 5:40 PM

#

That case is a mid atx tho

#

I was using a case that was 15x8x15

latent bronze Sep 18, 2019, 5:41 PM

#

The case you picked out was micro atx

lament blade Sep 18, 2019, 5:41 PM

#

Yeah

latent bronze Sep 18, 2019, 5:42 PM

#

Also with that case the PSU is mounted behind

#

which is why it is that shape

lament blade Sep 18, 2019, 5:43 PM

#

It looks a little to big though

latent bronze Sep 18, 2019, 5:44 PM

#

it is wide not tall

#

Also would have better cable management

#

Remember the system you had before it was 1453$ right

#

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/TJVBDx This is with those fans removed and a SSD installed also replaced the memory for 4x8gb memory clocked at 3200MHz

#

Also how come you needed 32gb of memory?

lament blade Sep 18, 2019, 5:47 PM

#

I’m willing to spend like 100 over 1500 bc I plan on ordering most of it on Black Friday

#

I plan on using it for long vr sessions and I want to have the space to run more programs for things like full body tracking with a Kinect and for my racing wheel and recording and other things

latent bronze Sep 18, 2019, 5:49 PM

#

Ok

tidal bluff Sep 18, 2019, 5:49 PM

why 4 sticks ram?

#

is it a quad channel board?

latent bronze Sep 18, 2019, 5:49 PM

and if you plan on spending a little more then why not this https://pcpartpicker.com/list/FXPzK4

tidal bluff Sep 18, 2019, 5:49 PM

#

i would go 2 sticks dual channel

#

wow a 2080 super with no rgb? i mean its like 700 bucks

lament blade Sep 18, 2019, 5:51 PM

#

As of right now this is where I am but I might change the cpu

tidal bluff Sep 18, 2019, 5:51 PM

#

id stick with the 2070 super

lament blade Sep 18, 2019, 5:51 PM

#

And also maybe the 2080 super but that may be a little over kill and it doesn’t have the rgb lol

tidal bluff Sep 18, 2019, 5:51 PM

thats what i plan on buying

i wish mine had rgb lol this 1070 white led looks like crap with my whole rig lit up red

or might change ur mind on some parts as they might get cheaper

u have a good month to go

month and a half

My psu should be good right? And also do I need anything for like Bluetooth or stuff like that

latent bronze Sep 18, 2019, 5:56 PM

#

When gaming in VR there it nothing overkill to be honest especially with some games out there

#

For a 2070 Super/2080 Super i would suggest at least 700w

lament blade Sep 18, 2019, 5:57 PM

#

Oh

#

I don’t like know anything about psu

tidal bluff Sep 18, 2019, 5:58 PM

#

the vr does also matter on which setup for vr u use some have higher resolutions than others

like oculus headset is lower resolution than vive

I use a Samsung Odessy so I have about the same resolution maybe better than the Vive pro

what matters more is everything inside the case

lots of space for cooling

internal temp is 27c

the case alone is like 45lbs

When people would mainly buy a system no matter how nice the case is they are buying what is inside of the case

lot of people can message you for what you're selling and say they can get it for almost half of what you're selling it for to be honest

latent bronze Sep 18, 2019, 7:05 PM

#

@tidal bluff my suggestion is to buy your new system first use the 1700 to update the bios and then you can use the 3600 after

#

Well there is that or the other method which is contacting AMD for them to send you a 200GE to update the bios and then mail it back to them

warm nova Sep 18, 2019, 7:07 PM

#

ya, if you have a first gen cpu, buy the best board you can get in your budget. Dont limit yourself to boards with flashback unless its a feature you want.

little osprey Sep 18, 2019, 7:09 PM

#

I think it's just a useful feature to have if you're worried about dodgy mobo vendor bios updates / crap AGESA updates every month, higher risk of bricking it seems

tidal bluff Sep 18, 2019, 7:10 PM

#

im selling it as a whole pc so i wont have a 1st gen to use

latent bronze Sep 18, 2019, 7:11 PM

Well you have the other option i mentioned

tidal bluff Sep 18, 2019, 7:37 PM

#

hmmm nice so all gigabyte boards do bios flashback

#

well the x570

warm nova Sep 18, 2019, 8:21 PM

#

yes, all the gigabyte boards have that feature. Another option, although I havn't seen them anywhere for sale yet are the msi max b450 boards. The max are slightly updated versions of the older b450 boards but with a 32mb bios chip and will support ryzen 3000 out of the box.

#

I have also heard that some retailers are starting to get some new b450 and x470 boards in stock that have ryzen 3000 bios on them already, but without being able to put your hands on the box and look at it to see if it has a sticker stating its ryzen 3000 ready there is no way to know for sure.

tidal bluff Sep 18, 2019, 8:29 PM

#

might just fork out the cash for a x570 strix

latent bronze Sep 18, 2019, 9:24 PM

#

intender in time there will be new one's preloaded with the new bios because an A320M board i bought for my cousin actually said back then it was 2000 ready so in time you will see like B450 boards say 3000 ready on the box

Why wouldn't it work out of the box?

Ya, like I said they are already leaving the factory with the ryzen 3000 bios on them, but you never know how old the stock an online retailer has is. I still see people on the aorus forum and discord getting 300 series boards that don't have a 2000 bios.

@edgy copper please match your fans with just nzxt fans on the rad and the lian li as bottom intake

#

It’s aesthetically better in my opinion

#

@agile bear I setup the fans incorrectly so the top is intake while the bottom is exhaust

#

I might switch that NZXT fan back in though

#

what would I even need for 4x 200mm Coolermaster RGB fans + 1x 140mm rgb fan. anything else besides the coolermaster controller?
or can you control that much off a newer mobo

#

anyone know?

@rough loom that's insane, not sure why you'd need that many 200mm fans either 😂 that's some hella airflow potential

#

lots of airflow with low decibel.

True

#

Honestly idgaf if my rig sounds like a fighter jet, long as it's performing well and nice and frosty

#

@vague willow i need to know what cord goes where for the psu

#

I dont wanna fry the system lol

#

cables should be labeled as well as the actual power supply, depending on your psu, the power brick could have them boxed

#

24 pin should be 2 plugs and one long one, the one with the split should be like an 8 and 16, plug that one into the power supply

#

Yeah i see a cpu cable, is there supposed to be another? Cause i see a 8 pronged spot and a 4 pronged spot

autumn wolf Sep 19, 2019, 8:20 PM

#

which cable is it exactly cause some cables are split

#

and which cables are you trying to plug in

Trying to do cpu power

#

Then gpu. I have motherboard plugged in

autumn wolf Sep 19, 2019, 8:22 PM

#

cpu goes into the motherboard (normally its top left on the motherboard) the other end goes into one of the psu slots

valid dagger Sep 19, 2019, 8:23 PM

#

Okay

#

And then what about the gpu?
