[little osprey]

Id say go a 2070 super

Go ROG strix 2070 super

Buy a beefy cooler

And a 7 3700x

Instead of weighing so much on you gpu

All in all 2070 super just wrecks everything

It is like 100-200 dollars cheaper

The motherboard

I’d go an x570

[latent bronze]

lol ROG

[little osprey]

The things you should change is motherboard

Cooler is ok but a bit weak for overclocking

@latent bronze best brand

[polar holly]

its a 3600 it is over what is needed to max oc it

[latent bronze]

Best brand for Nvidia is actually EVGA

[little osprey]

It’s ROG

ROG is quieter

And better OC

[polar holly]

Rog is overpriced for no benefits

[little osprey]

That is wrong

Have you seen the boost of the 2070 super O8G?

[latent bronze]

ROG is just looks

[little osprey]

No i betcha haven’t

1935 mhz boost on the 2070 super

No other card has that much

[polar holly]

i have

[little osprey]

Plus the cooling is much better

[polar holly]

i also own a evga model with the same boost

[eager chasm]

[little osprey]

Oh yeah sure whats that

The FTW3?

[latent bronze]

Cooling + ROG = does not compute

[eager chasm]

I have no stake in the battle cause my card only come sin the reference model

[polar holly]

its literally an xc black card

[latent bronze]

I have owned a lot of Asus cards in the past and honestly they just get better looking with less actual cooling

[little osprey]

FTW3 has 1815 boost clock

@(つ◕౪◕)つ#9689 the boost of your card is 1800 not 1935

But I guess all in all it’s personal preferences

@polar holly

[latent bronze]

The boost on the ROG is 1830 as well

https://i.gyazo.com/e8da36dc6df586cacaee952714245808.png

[polar holly]

yes and my personal card oc is up to 1920

[muted patio]

@latent bronze That's not the O8G though

[little osprey]

@latent bronze read the name

[polar holly]

and that is a base no work oc

[little osprey]

@muted patio has right it’s the Advanced Edition

The OC Edition is not on Newegg

I think stock is empty

[latent bronze]

in regards to better cooler and also better support i would go with EVGA

[polar holly]

ywah realized i could get a black gaming from evga at like 6 over budget

[little osprey]

1935 OC mode and 1905 normal

[polar holly]

and have you done a manual overclock on it

[muted patio]

1905 is also boost

[little osprey]

Yeah

[muted patio]

1935 is OC boost

[little osprey]

I can read haha

[polar holly]

what was your max oc

[muted patio]

1905 is not normal

[little osprey]

Normal mode

Core clock is 1605

Or 1635

[muted patio]

A whole 2 FPS over the founders edition

[polar holly]

its 6

[muted patio]

Stock clocked, not overclocked

Overclock is 2100mhz

Not everyone will OC so I use factory settings

[polar holly]

i was making a joke its not worth it

[latent bronze]

That Asus card you keep talking about as well also seems to be discontinued

checked all online retailers and it is not being sold

[polar holly]

idk i sold all mine and the only one i am about to own is the all white 2080ti

it was worth the price lol for how it looks for my all white build

[muted patio]

https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1440484-REG/asus_rog_strix_rtx2070_o8g_gam_republic_of_gamers_strix.html

only place I can find it, special order

[polar holly]

and like is it me or is it worth it to FTW3

at that price

[latent bronze]

@muted patio look on the specs on that site

[muted patio]

Ah

that's not the Super

That's the regular 2070

[latent bronze]

Good chance with the one he kept mentioning had issues which is why it is not sold anymore

[muted patio]

With clocks that high, indeed

Also, I could only find 2 reviews of it

One was in french, the other was that FPS review website

[latent bronze]

regardless the clocks might be high but it doesn't make it better

[muted patio]

Yeah, that's why I posted the FPS charts

You'd think with that much OC it would be faster

[latent bronze]

and besides like ill always say for Nvidia cards that EVGA would be the best option followed by Zotac

[muted patio]

I agree

The cooling numbers looked impressive though, 61C full load

[latent bronze]

MSI is ok but does tend to be cheap and for Asus ROG cards i find they put the cheapest thermal paste ever that hardens quick

[eager chasm]

I replaced my old 1060 paste, it was pretty bad

That was an Asus card and it had only seen about a year of use

[latent bronze]

ya after like 2 years should replace the thermal paste if it is under a year that is some cheap paste

[muted patio]

My RTX2060 XC is still fairly cool with an OC, not gonna touch it for a while

[polar holly]

i already did for the all white 2080ti

[eager chasm]

I put some kryonaut on the 1060 instead :)

[latent bronze]

@eager chasm I used to have a Asus ROG Strix RX 570 and trust me after 8 months of having the card the paste was hard like a rock

This was it

[lyric thistle]

;o

[latent bronze]

I had to chip away the paste

[eager chasm]

Replacing stock paste on CPU and GPU was a good idea for my sister's computer :)

[latent bronze]

the paste i am using is Deepcool Z9

https://www.newegg.com/deepcool-z9/p/N82E16835856011?Item=N82E16835856011

[little osprey]

@latent bronze it has no issues lol

[muted patio]

AS MX-4 has twice the published thermal conductivity of the deepcool

[little osprey]

Here in Norway it’s on every store

It was on Amazon and Newegg

Just the stocks got depleted

[latent bronze]

You mean it used to be

[little osprey]

Used to be what?

In Norway we have them

[latent bronze]

Well it is not sold anymore

[muted patio]

Uh, ASUS doens't even list it anymore. It's not for sale anywhere. There's a reason for that.

[little osprey]

It is for sale^^^

In Norway

[latent bronze]

Ok how about globally

[little osprey]

Globally I don’t think so

[muted patio]

That should tell you something when it's only available in one country

[little osprey]

Why do they not list it anymore?

Too good for others so they pushed themselves doen?

Import laws?

[muted patio]

Typically one of two reasons: It was overpriced and didn't sell well. 2. It had issues and was discontinued

[latent bronze]

The only way i would buy that anyways if i was to also get a EK waterblock

[muted patio]

I can only find 2 places that actually reviewed it. FPS was only 2-4 above Founders Edition. Sounds like a flop

[little osprey]

can i build my pc and put ram in last

Well the o8g are the best out of best

[muted patio]

Yes but not advised

[little osprey]

I think pc stuff is cheaper in the us

[muted patio]

Typically easier to put RAM in outside the case

[little osprey]

Yes it’s giving 2 more fps

Normal

Other cards give the same

ah i guess ill wait a couple days for it to get hete

As founders

The 2080 tis

[muted patio]

Not saying you can't do it inside the case, just that it's typically easier

[latent bronze]

The price you showed as well is very expensive https://i.gyazo.com/84c7146bb732a110897cd2b67800644e.png

[muted patio]

Especially depending on the cooler

$785!!!

[little osprey]

Yeah there’s a reason and that is VAT

In USA that would be 650$

If it would be sold

At least when it was sold that was the price

[latent bronze]

and most 2070 Supers would be under 600

[little osprey]

Which is 100 over founders

[muted patio]

Too expensice considering FOunders edition is $500

and you only get two more FPS

[little osprey]

550$

[muted patio]

Fine

2 FPS cost you $100

[little osprey]

FTW3 is 650$ too

[muted patio]

Just OC the founders edition

[little osprey]

Inflation probably

So EVGA same

And Aorus 630$

MSI 650$

Only the Windforce from Gigabyte is 570$

[muted patio]

EVGA isn't the same./ Super Black $509.99

[little osprey]

Yeah I said the FTW3

[muted patio]

XC Ultra $529

[latent bronze]

Here are the EVGA cards https://i.gyazo.com/7a5c922b7f78bcddda0d72083f0ce4a6.png

[little osprey]

580

[latent bronze]

Tell me where you got 630 from

[little osprey]

And the AD of 2070 super ROG is 560

Amazon

Amazon is 620

But everyone knows that Newegg is better than Amazon in many ways on Pc tech

[latent bronze]

So you know that image i posted is from Microcenter

[little osprey]

So then for the part what would you spend 10 more on the FTW3 or 10 less for the 2070 super AD Rog

Id go rog

Personal preference

[latent bronze]

Honestly just because you like it doesn't really make it better

[little osprey]

Yeah

But it kinda is

[latent bronze]

Asus was cool in the past but now i find they are sloppy

[little osprey]

Sorry it says in Nok

[eager chasm]

that Asus thermal paste

lol

[little osprey]

Asus Thermal Paste?

Never heard of

Some stuff are really crap from ROG

[latent bronze]

The paste Asus uses is very cheap

[amber oxide]

I’ve tried turning off notifications for this chat but I keep getting them and It’s always covering the top of my screen any ideas

[little osprey]

Like the Ryuijin

ryujin or sometihing Liquid AIO is 280$

[eager chasm]

I replaced my Asus paste with some of the most expensive quality paste

[latent bronze]

@amber oxide click settings and then notifications

[little osprey]

Asus doesn’t even sell thermal paste

[amber oxide]

Thanks

[little osprey]

Wait they do..

Wtf

[eager chasm]

No, the stock paste in the cards that Asus uses

[little osprey]

Never heard of it

[eager chasm]

That's what we're talking about

[little osprey]

And EVGA surely uses god as it... that’s why it looks like a card from 1980

[latent bronze]

The paste they use is like what you would find on ebay sold from China for like 2$

[eager chasm]

Kryonaught is a massive paste upgrade

[muted patio]

Seriously, just go buy the card if it makes you happy.

[little osprey]

I see people herw

Like Bitwit Kyle likes Aorus, Jayson form JayzTwoCents likes EVGA, Linus from LTT likes ROG

For me it’s either Aorus or ROG

I love the design and clocks of those cards

Anyway I’ll be going now

farewell

[latent bronze]

All 3 of those people likes any cards as long as it works and has no issues

[eager chasm]

I had to RMA mine, does that mean I can't like it?

[latent bronze]

You're not allowed to like it

[merry cove]

My monitor won’t configure with my pc

[little osprey]

Wdym

@merry cove

[eternal meteor]

Merry Christmas

[eager chasm]

Does your monitor have ocerscan or pixel mapping settings? Many TVs do

Some monitors do too

[prime spear]

if anyone finds any deals on RTX 2060 supers lemme know. wanting to buy for atleast 400 Dollars USD for a 1800mhz model i have a little extra but want to upgrade other things also

[muted patio]

For $400 go 5700XT. Much better performance for the same money

2070 super level of performance

[prime spear]

not when it comes to 1080p gaming

2060 super performs better under larger loads i thought

[muted patio]

No

[dry tinsel]

yes, when it comes to 1080p gaming

[prime spear]

also btw it could cause issues when installing drivers

i already have a gtx card

[muted patio]

Nah, it won't cause issues

DDU

[prime spear]

?

[dry tinsel]

you DDU your existing drivers

and then install the new ones

[prime spear]

no clue what that means

lol

also i want raytracing

[dry tinsel]

https://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html

[muted patio]

Ugh, Ray Tracing on a 2060 is painful

I have one

It's not great

[prime spear]

but i could always download shaders for minecraft

[dry tinsel]

raytracing on a 2060 😂

[muted patio]

Can do that on a 5700 also

[prime spear]

yea

also

the reason i wanted a 2060 super

was because ive never actually messed with a radeon card

[muted patio]

Ah

[prime spear]

so i dont know how to use drivers

[muted patio]

You just install them like nVidia ones

[prime spear]

im extremely familiar with nvidia drivers

[muted patio]

Nothing special about them

[prime spear]

navigation uis also a problem

[muted patio]

Just for reference

16 FPS more with 5700XT

1080p

My personal experience with the 2060 and ray tracing is poor. For everything else it's honestly fine. But for your money, the 5700XT is faster. It's not a bad card.

[prime spear]

ok

again

navigation]

never seen the ui before

[muted patio]

I get it

LIke I said, the 2060 isn't a bad card

[prime spear]

cause on nvidia

[muted patio]

Just more performance with the 5700XT

[prime spear]

i aggree

[muted patio]

So, your choice

[prime spear]

Streaming

nvenc encoding

[muted patio]

AH, for streaming

Yes, nVidia is better

[prime spear]

yea thats also another reason

i love to stream

[muted patio]

OPlenty are available for $400

[prime spear]

i have 400 dollars a little extra than 400

but i want to find the best 2060 super for my money

[muted patio]

https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-Backplate-PowerLink-08G-P4-3162-Kp/dp/B07Y92M745

[prime spear]

liek im willing to spend at most 250

450

so that would be the best one for my money?

[muted patio]

IMO, yes

EVGA is second to none in the nVidia world

[prime spear]

ok Thanks!

ill be purchasing this once i get my fortnite tourney payout money

[muted patio]

Grats on the tourney!

[prime spear]

Gracias

plan on going pro

everythings going in the right direction for me to be consistent in all the tourneys

atm im being restrained because of my pc

getting low frames in high player lobbies

[muted patio]

Processor?

[prime spear]

2600x

[rotund forge]

I built a pc from used parts and I’m not sure if I need a new graphics card or it’s a setting I can adjust but my screen looks like this

[prime spear]

oc to 4ghz

[rotund forge]

Any suggestions greatly appreciate

[muted patio]

@rotund forge , one post at a time

Already replied in the other section

Yeah, that'll be fine

[sudden turret]

That GPU is toast

Had that happen to a 1080

Had vram

Bad

[rotund forge]

Oh yay ty

[prime spear]

yo

@muted patio

[muted patio]

?

[prime spear]

what would be the best card for 400 dollars for streaming?]

[muted patio]

2060 super

[prime spear]

my friends yelling at me for wanting an rtx card xD

[muted patio]

for NVENC

1660 super just doesn't have the same horsepower

[prime spear]

is there a problem with going with a rx 5700xt?

for streaming?

[muted patio]

Yeah, your processor will be doing the encoding

Probably lose some performance, it's a bit of a resource hog using the processor

[prime spear]

so theres no encoder on the card

like the rtx 2060 super does

cause my friend says there is

[muted patio]

Eh, AMD has a version of it but nVidia is superior

AMD's works best for recording, or hard copies

nVidia is best for streaming

[prime spear]

my friend is litterally yelling at me

because i want to go with a chip

that streams for me

he wants me to get the 5700xt

[muted patio]

Well, that's too bad

[prime spear]

so for sure go with 2060 super

[polar holly]

Go with whats best for you not what they want

[prime spear]

well i want best performace

but i dont wanna stream with frame drops ya know

[muted patio]

Then nVidia

[prime spear]

i also dont want my stream bound with my cpu

[polar holly]

Yeah then the 2060 super

what cpu are you using

[prime spear]

2600x

4ghz

[polar holly]

The Nvidia will work out better

its for you not them get what is best

Like i am a animatior and i was like i am getting an amd cpu most of the it people i work with laughed cause they didnt know abou the 300 series threadrippers

so get whats best for what your doing

[prime spear]

ok

i dont understand my friend

i want to stream

[muted patio]

They aren't educated is all

[prime spear]

but he never streams

[muted patio]

Don't worry about it

[prime spear]

so he doesnt understand what i wanna do

i want to stream

at 1080p 60

[muted patio]

Buy the 2060. Put a 5700XT sticker on it

send him a pic

XD

[prime spear]

(i got the internet)

for 1080p 60

[polar holly]

yeah people are like that. some people are like never buy from a certain company because with no reason

[prime spear]

he has a small reason

and that only reason

is performance

he doesnt care about the streaming

cause he never does it

i want to stream 8 hours a day ya know

[polar holly]

i dont blame you i do it also

[prime spear]

also

@muted patio

i want to play at 165hz/frames

capped

is the 2060super good for that on most games?

[polar holly]

probably wont be max settings

[prime spear]

yea all low

[muted patio]

On Ultra you should hit 120 FPS or so with the 2060 super

[polar holly]

for most new games you will probably achieve that at high/ultra mix if you want to hit 165

[muted patio]

Probably medium to high settings with the 2060 super

[prime spear]

my friend says im making a mistake xD

[polar holly]

people say i make a mistake like everyday when i build

[prime spear]

he says performance over time will get worse

xD

[polar holly]

i mean thats true with literally everything

because things are being optimized for the newer tech older tech will outdate

but for 2060super it will be awhile

[muted patio]

Nah

I have a 2060, it hasn't slowed down

Plus you can OC most of them fairly well

[polar holly]

nah i am talking years

[muted patio]

Nah

I've got a mild OC on mine, 200 core and 500 memory

and it's an XC Ultra

[polar holly]

im not talking burn out from OC i mean as tech advances past it

I am running a 1080 from realse still OC on my vr setup its fine

[muted patio]

Well, the 5700XT will have the same problem

Everything ages as software advances

[prime spear]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/575050967746215936/659199422122557440/unknown.png

my friend just asked tech source

[muted patio]

Yeah

not for streaming though

In raw FPS power, yes

They aren't considering NVENC

[polar holly]

He also asked this with no context on the rest of the pc specs

[muted patio]

Nope

I mean, the 2600 is good but

If OP had a 3700x and wanted to use software encoding I'd say go for it

but not on a 5 series 2600

[polar holly]

i agree with that whole heartedly

[sudden turret]

???

[polar holly]

@sudden turret Started as a converstion which to get a 5700xt or 2060 super for streaming while using 2600

with minimal fps drop

[muted patio]

Debate about nVidia or AMD for streaming

We are saying nVidia, other Discord says AMD

Nothing new...........

[prime spear]

im getting the rtx 2060 super

my friend is litterally freaking out lmao

[sudden turret]

not sure why that's any concern of your friend

lol

if you want it, get it.

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[polar holly]

like same its for you so get what you want and are going to get the most out of

[prime spear]

14 fps doesnt bother me xD

litterally doesnt bother me at all

[sudden turret]

yeah that's meh

[prime spear]

ive been playing on 60 fps for 2 years

just moved to above 100 frames

so 165hz is gonna be nice

[sudden turret]

people who like to argue over .00005 is just lame

[prime spear]

ya know whats funny

[sudden turret]

bUt ItS NoT tHe BeTtEr CaR

iTs 5fps SlOwEr

[prime spear]

my friend that wants me to get the 5700xt

has te rtx 2060super xd

[elder canyon]

I need y'all gimme a sec doe

Nvm

[sudden turret]

just get the 2080super

flex on them all

[prime spear]

def have 900 dollars to spend 😄

loool

[sudden turret]

😄 lol

[polar holly]

nah just get dual 2080ti in sli

[muted patio]

Here, if you want a test, watch this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLqpVImLPGE

[sudden turret]

oh even better

[prime spear]

most i wanna spend is 450 dollars

[muted patio]

VMAF NVENC scored better

Which means, nVIdia for streaming

😉

[sudden turret]

whats your processor?

[prime spear]

2600x

[muted patio]

2600

[sudden turret]

pff get that 5700xt

full amd build

😉

[prime spear]

4ghz

[sudden turret]

x570?

[prime spear]

nah

[muted patio]

Not with a 2600 dood

[prime spear]

b5450 hdv

bad mobo ik

[sudden turret]

eh

[prime spear]

shoulda went x570

[sudden turret]

it works

[old charm]

I paid $400 for my graphics card and I feel like I over played but in happy with it still

[prime spear]

yea its ok

kid

[polar holly]

what card

[prime spear]

its christmas

how could you be unhappy with overpaying xD

[sudden turret]

lol

[prime spear]

just say it was a present to yourself and your chilling

[old charm]

Uh I think 2060 super

That's exactly what I do lol

[sudden turret]

I'm curious why dude said "cuz thats newegg"

do we give bad advice here? :p

[polar holly]

if its a 2060 super at 400 thats normal

[old charm]

$400

Okay yeah

[polar holly]

i can read lol I am RIP

[sudden turret]

at least we aren't licking gpu

[polar holly]

i was trying not to say it

[little osprey]

Hot

I would

[sudden turret]

I mean

[little osprey]

If I had the money

[sudden turret]

you aint wrong

lol

[little osprey]

We need a 4K video

[polar holly]

come on atleast 8k

[little osprey]

Yes

PC master race time

[polar holly]

I mean my animation firm makes us render at 8k for some ungodly reason

it sucks

[little osprey]

Oof

[elder canyon]

I'm installing cpu and part is sticking up a tiny bit on the side with the arrow

[little osprey]

What firm?

[elder canyon]

Is this normal or should I just redo it

[muted patio]

Uh

Pic?

[sudden turret]

is the latch all the way up?

[muted patio]

CPU shouldn't be sticking up, should be flat

[elder canyon]

Kk

[muted patio]

Oh, it's a Ryzen cpu. Will the arm go back any more?

[elder canyon]

Lemme see

[polar holly]

@little osprey Toei

[elder canyon]

Not really

[little osprey]

That’s cool af

[polar holly]

I guess lol trying to change jobs though

[muted patio]

@elder canyon Gold corner lines up with the arrow on the socket? Can't tell from the pic

It should just drop all the way in

[elder canyon]

It drops in

[muted patio]

Just not all the way down?

I see the arrows now

[elder canyon]

Yeah

[muted patio]

I'd take the CPU out and cycle the arm a couple times and try again.

It should sit flat with the arm up

[elder canyon]

Ok

[polar holly]

Also you may want to check the pins

[elder canyon]

I don't see any bent ones

[muted patio]

Cycle the arm a couple times and try it again

If it still doesn't sit flat with the CPU there, wiggle the arm very lightly with the cpu in place and see if it falls flat

[elder canyon]

Kk thanks

@muted patio I think I found bent pins

[prime spear]

question

[muted patio]

Pics

[elder canyon]

But idk how I bent them

I never touched it

[prime spear]

best gaming chair for like 150 dollars or a comfortable one that i can buy for cheap

[polar holly]

i never us gaming chairs they are not good for sitting or spine position. IMO

[old charm]

Those ones everyone uses aren't worth it cuz I was thinking of getting one

[elder canyon]

@muted patio

[muted patio]

How brave are you?

Use a pencil or a needle and carefully straighten them out

Or, return it if you can

[elder canyon]

I'll try to fix it

[muted patio]

Just take your time

Don't over bend them

[elder canyon]

Kk

[muted patio]

It'll be fine

[elder canyon]

Honestly my mom probs did it

She wanted to see it and I specifically told her don't touch the bottom

But she probs did

[muted patio]

That's an easy fix if you're careful

Save you an rma

[elder canyon]

Will tweezers work?

@muted patio

Sorry for bothering u so much

[muted patio]

Tweezers can work if they don't interfere with adjacent pins

[elder canyon]

Ok

[stark siren]

Box blade works really well to straighten pins too you can line in up with each row so you know you have them level

[elder canyon]

@muted patio I got it

Thanks big man

[muted patio]

Welcome!

It was someone elses' idea for the pins tho

[elder canyon]

@polar holly thank you to big boi

[polar holly]

@elder canyon Your welcom always help others when you can

[elder canyon]

Will do

[old charm]

Bent pins was my worst nightmare. I feel for u, dude

[dry tinsel]

still the worst is LGA sockets

when a pin on one of those gets bent

the pins are short and can break before they bend

i had an old z77 board fail that way

[lyric thistle]

rip

[polar holly]

Rip

[latent bronze]

What is your worst dream then?

[round flare]

That my rgb fans get locked to grey

[latent bronze]

But then that would be a nightmare

Worst dream would be something good that you don't want 😛

[muted patio]

uhhhh

That's a toughie

[round flare]

hm

having all my peripherals razer branded

[coarse coral]

[sly ferry]

@round flare I have mostly razor peripherals

[round flare]

so do I

[sly ferry]

I have a razer mouse,keyboard and headset

[round flare]

I just have mnk

[sly ferry]

I would have gotten a razer mouse pad but I found a different cheaper one

[zenith glacier]

Help me pls

My husband's pc out of nowhere went black screen, we noticed flashing light from gpu.

but problem is the pc is $7,000 and watercooled. and barely a year old. so we are freaking out.

I dont understand why this happened

[muted patio]

Let it sit and reboot

Overheat possibly?

[zenith glacier]

motherboard's temp is 66

I did saw the monitor went flashed two times then a moment it happened

Everything works but not GPU @muted patio

[muted patio]

This is going to be hard to troubleshoot in a watercooled PC. Is it a custom loop or an AIO?

[zenith glacier]

Custom

[muted patio]

Oof

Are there extra GPU power outputs you can try?

[sly ferry]

Oof

[zenith glacier]

I have my pc

[muted patio]

Things like this, the best way is to swap hardware

But with a custom loop it's really hard to do that

[zenith glacier]

Yea I plan to do tomorrow

With different PSU

[muted patio]

That's a good start

[zenith glacier]

I hope

[muted patio]

If the PSU doesn't fix it might have to RMA the GPU

If there's enough wiggle room in the pipes, try pull the card out slightly and reseating it

[zenith glacier]

Problem is that

A guy built it for my husband

My husband gave him money so a friend bought parts

Idk whrre is the box etc

[still roost]

Skull Lady#7917 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[muted patio]

Try thePSU first

before you get too worried

Try and reseat the card if you can also

[zenith glacier]

We are fked

[muted patio]

sometimes it's that simple

[zenith glacier]

If it’s GPU

[muted patio]

Nah

Don't have to have original box but you will need the serial number

[zenith glacier]

Oh where I can find it

[polar holly]

Also is this setup using a riser card if so check that

[zenith glacier]

On video card hopefully???

Oh yea

[muted patio]

Yep, check that riser also. Reseat both if you can

[zenith glacier]

We can try it tomorrow

My husband is too emotional upset

He have depression and this pc is his love

[muted patio]

Understandable

[eager chasm]

Soo, I was thinking of getting a value pack of addressable RGB fans. Any thoughts on this pack?
https://www.newegg.com/apevia-fr412l2s-rgb-case-fan/p/N82E16835228124?Description=addressable RGB fan 120mm&cm_re=addressable_RGB_fan_120mm-_-35-228-124-_-Product

[zenith glacier]

Funny thing is my pc is not water cooled, nothing happens. His pc got problems twice. PSU and now GOu

GPU*

[muted patio]

Well, things happen. Watercooling doesn't, in itself, cause issues

If the temps are within normal ranges, hardware failures happen

[zenith glacier]

Yea crazy

My pc with Star Wars xp

[muted patio]

You're water cooled. 😉

[zenith glacier]

Yea kinda

😂

[round flare]

those are some nice pcs

[zenith glacier]

It’s easy to trade parts

Thanks

[muted patio]

Welcome! DOn't panic yet

might even be able to test a different GPU without removing the water cooled one using the riser card

Depends on how flexible it s

[eager chasm]

🤔 Hmmm I have 5 fans in my case but one of them is like 70% covered by the drive case, so I only would need a 4 pack of addressable fans

[prime spear]

what about ram?

couldnt the ram cause a small issue?

[zenith glacier]

No way

[round flare]

the gpu is the thing doing the flashing

I didn't even know gpus had debug lights lol

[muted patio]

On the motherboard

Mobo light

[round flare]

oh

I thought

[prime spear]

if its a high end mobo look up the instruction manual

[round flare]

ok

[prime spear]

and see the trouble shooting light

[eager chasm]

my Asus 1060 has a power indicator light

[zenith glacier]

It’s not motherboard

If it is, all RGB will not work?

[muted patio]

Card RGB doesn't work?

[polar holly]

what they are saying is that the mother board should have a error readout either light or a small screen with a code

[prime spear]

Yes

[muted patio]

Well, if the card RGB doesn't work, definitely a power issue or a dead card. What power supply is it?

[prime spear]

@muted patio

[still roost]

Skull Lady#7917 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[prime spear]

can you look at the mobo

[zenith glacier]

Well RGB on video card not on

[prime spear]

and see if you can find the card instruction

[polar holly]

What board is it

[prime spear]

or the mobo instructions

[zenith glacier]

Auros

[prime spear]

and see if theres a Light that can tell you if theres something wrong with connectivities

[zenith glacier]

There is no light on MB

It’s fine

[muted patio]

Well, if the card has RGB and it doesn't light up, no power or card is dead

[zenith glacier]

It’s GPU problem

Well

[muted patio]

This one?

https://www.aorus.com/GV-N208TAORUSX-WB-11GC

[zenith glacier]

Yes that

[prime spear]

btw

it could still be a thing with aorus mobo

[round flare]

WOWWWWW

[muted patio]

Ok, so if the card isn't lighting up, check the power supply would be my first step

[round flare]

that card

is hoottt

[muted patio]

If that doesn't work, reseat all the connections for the card

[zenith glacier]

That why we are freaking

[prime spear]

thats a z390 mobo

[muted patio]

If that doesn't work, the GPU may be faulty

[zenith glacier]

It’s expensive

[muted patio]

That card has a 4 year warranty

Don't Panic!

[polar holly]

There should be a letter/number readout behind the card when you boot what do they say

on the mobo

[zenith glacier]

Umm

It’s tight

I see it

The number

I will try my best to get serial number for RMA

[muted patio]

Try a power supply first

[zenith glacier]

yeas tomorrow

right now we are fat from christmas dinner and tired

haha

[muted patio]

LOL!

[zenith glacier]

plus my husband is too upset and having a tough time so better wait for tomorrow

[polar holly]

Is it possible to see the debug led readout on the mobo if so what are they

[zenith glacier]

it have OC button and power button

[polar holly]

It will be at bottom behind the card

[zenith glacier]

Oh

[zenith glacier]

Oh yea it said 66

When running

[round flare]

Execute Order 66

[zenith glacier]

nooooooooooooooooooooo

[round flare]

[polar holly]

Is that the last thing it said or is it staying on that number

[zenith glacier]

let me run it

yea still 66

[muted patio]

Why are all the manuals in chinese??

[zenith glacier]

https://tenor.com/view/really-shrug-seriously-james-little-james-gif-11213198

[muted patio]

Code 66 is normal

[zenith glacier]

hey another question about liquid.

umm metallic liquid became clear is normal?

[muted patio]

No...it was a pearl color?

[zenith glacier]

yea like that

[muted patio]

Like swirly metallic

[zenith glacier]

it was used to be

[muted patio]

Oof

[zenith glacier]

now its clear

[muted patio]

All the particles have fallen out

[eager chasm]

nope, I found the fans I want, good old Rosewill to the rescue with affordable, fans that look amazing
https://www.newegg.com/rosewill-rgbf-s12003-case-fan/p/N82E16835200126

[zenith glacier]

is that normal

[muted patio]

Which means they may be stuck in the cooling blocks or somewhere else

[round flare]

cooler master has some bendy fans

[muted patio]

Blocks should be taken apart and cleaned

[round flare]

but they're coolermaster

[zenith glacier]

oh man

[muted patio]

Yeah, the pearly stuff needs to be changed often

[zenith glacier]

motherboard is watercooled as well

[muted patio]

Because they are small particles that fall out of the water

[polar holly]

pearl should be mainteneced roughly every 9 months from experience

[muted patio]

Or less

[polar holly]

if not i got alot of overheating with a test system

[zenith glacier]

so if not pearl, clear liquid will be fine for longer time?

[muted patio]

Yeah, the particles tend to clog the blocks

Yes

[zenith glacier]

shat

[muted patio]

but still should be changed yearly

[zenith glacier]

yea

[eager chasm]

the ONLY thing about the rosewill fans is i 100% HAVE to use the rosewill fan hub

[polar holly]

clear liquid is better and you can use dyes. maintenece every 9-12 months

[eager chasm]

🤔

[zenith glacier]

nice

glow white?

that i like for my future watercooled

[muted patio]

At this point, I would take it all apart and clean the water blocks out. They might have gotten plugged and caused a heat issue

Yes, you can use white

[zenith glacier]

yea i think so

[polar holly]

The system may be locking itself to protect it

[muted patio]

SHould be cooled enough by now to boot though

[zenith glacier]

let it wait until tomorrow then

[muted patio]

Good idea

[polar holly]

Yeah and if you still need help hop into chat people will be here to help

[round flare]

wait is milk conductive

[muted patio]

Yes, you can do that with a Dye

[zenith glacier]

i like this

[muted patio]

however, I'd change it every 6-9 months

[polar holly]

no milk isnt

i tried

[zenith glacier]

lol

[round flare]

but it would probably like

deteriorate

cause you know

organic

[zenith glacier]

milk is acid? XD

[polar holly]

it goes bad like instantly and smells awful

[round flare]

hot surface

[muted patio]

Dood, that stuff would go rancid in a week

[round flare]

yeah

[zenith glacier]

Rotten Egg

[muted patio]

and turn to jelly

[round flare]

[zenith glacier]

my husband did smell rotten milk once, it was forgetten in the trunks long time

[round flare]

Oof

[zenith glacier]

Nuchlear Rotten Egg he said

lol

the milk jug was like expanded

[polar holly]

Custom cooled pcs are fun esecially custom desgined cases to go with them

[zenith glacier]

i have thermaltake view 27

i have ideas like where tubes go with the curve

as its going down like waterfall

[polar holly]

My current one is built into my work desk and has 4 480 rads 4gpus and a 3970x

[zenith glacier]

4 😮

[round flare]

[polar holly]

I am a animator so i want more

[round flare]

4 480 rads

dude

what case you got

[polar holly]

a desk

[zenith glacier]

i am a gamer and want to abuse my pc into highultrahighasweed settings

[deep skiff]

[zenith glacier]

wtf desk

[deep skiff]

wut thickness

[round flare]

he has one of those cool desk pcs

can you post pic to build pics

I wanna see

[polar holly]

i custom build a steel one for it. i will take a picture of it when i go to work next

[zenith glacier]

nice

mine are uhhhhhh Corsair

CORSAIR fan <-

[round flare]

I used to think corsair was crosshair

[zenith glacier]

xD

[round flare]

back when I just didn't care about pcs

Like in 2015

[eager chasm]

lol

[polar holly]

I want to move to the US. And make and sell custom pcs

[round flare]

I would look at the rgb peripherals and be like neat

[eager chasm]

I only started my PC part buying in like late 2017 XD

[round flare]

my first build was this year

[zenith glacier]

funny thing this guy saying Asus RGB is so better than Corsair. but the program on Asus sucks

so limited

[eager chasm]

@polar holly you'd be surprised how hard of a business that is, since it's a very niche market

[round flare]

xidax

[zenith glacier]

my first build was umm 2012 i think

[polar holly]

Nah i wouldnt be making a buisness market, just for fun

[round flare]

lol

[zenith glacier]

i regertted buying laptop first

so i ended up buying a part each month

in few months i got my pc built

[round flare]

my stuff was all bought in the span of 2 days

[zenith glacier]

i had it over 6 years or more i think before Star wars pc

[round flare]

It was great I love shopping for parts

[zenith glacier]

i am picky

RGB MUST

lol

[eager chasm]

Skull, that's how and WHY I built my first PC 😄

[polar holly]

I am working on a Storm Trooper case. its so fin

[zenith glacier]

xD

so fin yaaaaa

[polar holly]

lol i suck at typing

[zenith glacier]

np lol

over a year i was pouting at parts

my husband got his pc

i was pouting still

then mother's day came. nowhere we ended up buying parts for me

got my pc in a day xD

[round flare]

[zenith glacier]

and sneaked around my parents who was disappionted in our spending money when we supposed to save up for house

[eager chasm]

I know a similar feeling

lol

[dense gulch]

anyone looking at amazon things that we cant ever afford?

[round flare]

NO AMAZON

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[dense gulch]

im kidding lol

newegg im talking about

[muted patio]

I don't go shopping, I go buying

Therefore the answer is no lol

[round flare]

w a r

I meant wat lol

[dense gulch]

newegg vs amazon

w a r

[round flare]

that came across as aggressive

lol

just

can you hear it in your head?

[little osprey]

my m.2 screw is too small

i dont know what to do

[oblique karma]

Go to gas station

They make pills

To enlarge screw

[little osprey]

uhh

[muted patio]

Too small as in short? Or wont' screw in tight

Should have come with motherboard, check the box?

[oblique karma]

It’s usually a width type problem

[dense gulch]

- brain

[little osprey]

it did come with motherboard

but wont screw in

do i need to buy another one

[muted patio]

WOn't screw in

[dense gulch]

no buy another case'

[little osprey]

no too thin

[muted patio]

Did it get cross threaded?

[little osprey]

no

[muted patio]

Like it only goes in part way?

[little osprey]

it goes all the way in

[muted patio]

So. If it goes all the way in, it doesn't stay? Too small?

[little osprey]

yeah exactly

[muted patio]

Try a different screw? maybe something that came with the case?

[dense gulch]

wait i am no brain

My pc froze

a

A

[little osprey]

i guess ill try ranfom screws

[dense gulch]

testing keyb oard

[muted patio]

Probably just grabbed the wrong one

[dense gulch]

a

A

there we go

[little osprey]

it was in the mag that said m.2

but idk

[muted patio]

Huh, that's odd

[dense gulch]

razer keyboards are great

[little osprey]

msi is challenging me

[zenith glacier]

i like Msi

[dense gulch]

msi sounds like EM MES SAI

[zenith glacier]

i wish corsair have everything A to Z

The Corsair PC

[dense gulch]

want to see what happens what i bang my head in my keyboard?

[zenith glacier]

yea go ahead and break it

[dense gulch]

ym ,htu76jgbnvbn,m uy7j8

that what happens

[zenith glacier]

lol

[little osprey]

does my m.2 drive need to go all the way down

[zenith glacier]

i dont want to go back work

[little osprey]

or can it just almost touch the mobo

[muted patio]

Wait, there should be a standoff there

A small one

[little osprey]

it didnt come with the mobo

[muted patio]

A little silver hexagonal piece

A little silver piece like in the picture, you have one, right?

[little osprey]

no

would this work lol

[round flare]

[muted patio]

uhhh

NO

[round flare]

probably

but that hurts

don't do that

[muted patio]

M.2 is bent down

[little osprey]

what do you mean bent

[muted patio]

It should be parallel to the board

it's not, it's poining down towards the board

Does it have a cover?

[little osprey]

oh i just tightened it too much

no

[muted patio]

Ok

The silver thing behind it

that's the M.2 screw

Just take it out of there and move it to the other hole

[little osprey]

youre kidding me

[round flare]

LOL

[muted patio]

Naw

I don't kid

[round flare]

BRO DID YOU NOT KNOW THATS THE STANDOFF

[muted patio]

SHould be two pieces

[little osprey]

delete messages NOW

[round flare]

There's a manual

[muted patio]

Ey

[round flare]

LOL

[muted patio]

Pictures worth 10000 words

[little osprey]

first build oh well

[oblique karma]

Oh man

[muted patio]

Eh

we all learn

[oblique karma]

Add more paste

[muted patio]

So that's a two piece part though.

Bottom silver plate goes in the motherboard

[little osprey]

that makes sense

[muted patio]

Thumbscrew holds down the M.2 unless it fits in the slot

[oblique karma]

You’re doing a great job!

[muted patio]

Could be one piece and just fits in the slot and the whole thing screws in

[oblique karma]

Heck with the haters

[little osprey]

so how do i move the thing

[muted patio]

Is there a nut on the back side of the motherboard?
