If you are forcing it your doing it incorrectly, the stand offs should just thread in

kind shuttle Apr 29, 2020, 10:03 PM

#

It’s threading in

#

I just don’t have a tool to do it easier

pastel briar Apr 29, 2020, 10:03 PM

#

And requires only finger power

#

Ah

foggy hazel Apr 29, 2020, 10:03 PM

#

@pastel briar depends entirely on finger strength, plenty of people dont have much of it

pastel briar Apr 29, 2020, 10:03 PM

#

Fair enough on that

foggy hazel Apr 29, 2020, 10:03 PM

#

i have mini vices for fingers myself

kind shuttle Apr 29, 2020, 10:03 PM

#

Haha

foggy hazel Apr 29, 2020, 10:03 PM

#

but that is a side effect of the job

pastel briar Apr 29, 2020, 10:04 PM

#

I build computers/servers so…

#

Might explain why my home network is similar to enterprise levels of toys?

foggy hazel Apr 29, 2020, 10:04 PM

#

aye

#

you also "know" how to "grip" then

kind shuttle Apr 29, 2020, 10:05 PM

#

Too small for me to get a good grip

foggy hazel Apr 29, 2020, 10:05 PM

#

which is something normal people have no reason to "know"

pastel briar Apr 29, 2020, 10:05 PM

#

Oh my refund check came in finally, time to hunt for a rack mount case 😄

#

which is something normal people have no reason to "know"
@foggy hazel

Not really sure what you mean by that?

kind shuttle Apr 29, 2020, 10:07 PM

#

I need a really small wrench

foggy hazel Apr 29, 2020, 10:07 PM

#

think of how you "grip" a spring for a server rack

#

you know how to NOT do it

pastel briar Apr 29, 2020, 10:08 PM

#

Ah right

foggy hazel Apr 29, 2020, 10:08 PM

#

its technique vs brute force really

#

and normal people will mash their fingers into a mess really quickly :)

pastel briar Apr 29, 2020, 10:09 PM

#

Hehe that would be funny to watch tho

foggy hazel Apr 29, 2020, 10:09 PM

#

@kind shuttle got some paper?

fast dust Apr 29, 2020, 10:09 PM

#

@foggy hazel you remind me of a guy named USAFret from Tom's Hardware

foggy hazel Apr 29, 2020, 10:10 PM

#

you can use that to fold around and make a "hold/wrench"

#

@fast dust dont know the man :)

pastel briar Apr 29, 2020, 10:10 PM

#

I know I’m mean aren’t I…but then again I prefer to keep my “office” in the same room as all the servers

kind shuttle Apr 29, 2020, 10:10 PM

#

Yes

#

A nut driver would b epic right now

fast dust Apr 29, 2020, 10:10 PM

#

He's helped me a lot, and he talks like you 🤷‍♀️

foggy hazel Apr 29, 2020, 10:10 PM

#

:)

kind shuttle Apr 29, 2020, 10:11 PM

#

Why paper? For grip?

pastel briar Apr 29, 2020, 10:11 PM

#

Yea

kind shuttle Apr 29, 2020, 10:11 PM

#

Ah

#

Regular printer paper?

pastel briar Apr 29, 2020, 10:12 PM

#

In place of the nut driver (can post a picture shortly)

#

Any paper

kind shuttle Apr 29, 2020, 10:12 PM

#

Wow that works wonders

foggy hazel Apr 29, 2020, 10:12 PM

#

@fast dust so .. he aint a spring chicken either then :)

fast dust Apr 29, 2020, 10:12 PM

#

what

foggy hazel Apr 29, 2020, 10:12 PM

#

he isnt young either then :)

pastel briar Apr 29, 2020, 10:12 PM

#

You’re talking to techies 😄 @kind shuttle

fast dust Apr 29, 2020, 10:13 PM

#

Oh yeah no probably not @foggy hazel

foggy hazel Apr 29, 2020, 10:13 PM

#

a couple of decades+ doing things like this, makes you speak in a certain way. at least that is my experience

fast dust Apr 29, 2020, 10:14 PM

#

Must be. He's been on the forum for a long time and he seriously talks super similar to you

pastel briar Apr 29, 2020, 10:14 PM

#

I learned overtime to never ask open questions and just get to the point quickly

cursive wharf Apr 29, 2020, 10:15 PM

#

good, cuz I dont want to post this 24/7
https://dontasktoask.com/

Don't ask to ask, just ask

foggy hazel Apr 29, 2020, 10:15 PM

#

my co-workers/colleagues, know that IF i ask open questions, they should be running

kind shuttle Apr 29, 2020, 10:17 PM

#

So far this is the most annoying part

pastel briar Apr 29, 2020, 10:17 PM

#

Mine know that If I am asking a question to either give me the answer i need or get running fast and to never enter my quiet space called the server room

foggy hazel Apr 29, 2020, 10:18 PM

#

good colleagues are hard to find, mainly because it takes so long to train them just right

#

@kind shuttle just a question of technique

kind shuttle Apr 29, 2020, 10:18 PM

#

Idts

#

3-4 of them went in easily

#

The holes are slightly different

pastel briar Apr 29, 2020, 10:19 PM

#

Eh?

foggy hazel Apr 29, 2020, 10:20 PM

#

it IS a budget case

kind shuttle Apr 29, 2020, 10:20 PM

#

You’d think that with all of the brainpower in the computer industry

foggy hazel Apr 29, 2020, 10:20 PM

#

there will be some variance

kind shuttle Apr 29, 2020, 10:20 PM

#

They could come up with a better way

#

To do this

pastel briar Apr 29, 2020, 10:20 PM

#

Ah budget case

foggy hazel Apr 29, 2020, 10:20 PM

#

but generally, just unscrew and try again

pastel briar Apr 29, 2020, 10:20 PM

#

Explains all really

kind shuttle Apr 29, 2020, 10:20 PM

#

Manufacturing error

#

That’s a big thing in locks

#

Same deal

foggy hazel Apr 29, 2020, 10:21 PM

#

aye

kind shuttle Apr 29, 2020, 10:21 PM

#

Cheaper the lock easier to pick cuz manufacturers do it for cheap

foggy hazel Apr 29, 2020, 10:21 PM

#

its why very very few technicians will actually skimp on the things they interact with

#

because they know exactly how annoying it can be

pastel briar Apr 29, 2020, 10:21 PM

#

Yup

kind shuttle Apr 29, 2020, 10:22 PM

#

Right now I feel like hammering them into the table

foggy hazel Apr 29, 2020, 10:22 PM

#

welcome to what saving 15 bucks feels like @kind shuttle

pastel briar Apr 29, 2020, 10:22 PM

#

Like my home server rack 😄

kind shuttle Apr 29, 2020, 10:22 PM

#

I totally would’ve spent more on the case if I knew this 😦

foggy hazel Apr 29, 2020, 10:22 PM

#

yes, logically NOW you say that

#

but i would have had a VERY hard time convincing you of that back then

kind shuttle Apr 29, 2020, 10:23 PM

#

Not true

foggy hazel Apr 29, 2020, 10:24 PM

#

:)

kind shuttle Apr 29, 2020, 10:24 PM

#

One of the holes is the teeniest bit crooked

wary tundra Apr 29, 2020, 10:28 PM

#

What does a sound card do?

#

I have an idea

foggy hazel Apr 29, 2020, 10:29 PM

#

@wary tundra plays back sound

wary tundra Apr 29, 2020, 10:29 PM

#

oh

#

thats kinda disappointing

foggy hazel Apr 29, 2020, 10:29 PM

#

and depending on the software stack that is installed with it, it can do a bunch of tricks related to sound

wary tundra Apr 29, 2020, 10:30 PM

#

better sound quality?

foggy hazel Apr 29, 2020, 10:30 PM

#

that is part of it yes

#

but that is dependant on what specific chip is "in" the soundcard

wary tundra Apr 29, 2020, 10:31 PM

#

hmmmm

#

interesting

stoic island Apr 29, 2020, 10:36 PM

#

Without the sticker on the SSD, only 'issue' would be heat?

#

Because my ssd temps are fine

foggy hazel Apr 29, 2020, 10:36 PM

#

its not an issue as such @stoic island

stoic island Apr 29, 2020, 10:37 PM

#

(Is there anything I might want to do?)

foggy hazel Apr 29, 2020, 10:37 PM

#

its more of a "what is the supposed purpose/is-there-a-purpose" for the sticker answer

#

if that makes sense?

stoic island Apr 29, 2020, 10:37 PM

#

Yea.

cursive wharf Apr 29, 2020, 10:37 PM

#

@stoic island idk what temps you actually have but just consider that there is usually only a temp sensor on the controller and no where else on the SSD

stoic island Apr 29, 2020, 10:38 PM

#

Usually flash likes to be hot so

foggy hazel Apr 29, 2020, 10:38 PM

#

@kind shuttle any luck?

cursive wharf Apr 29, 2020, 10:38 PM

#

Unlikely but temps could be bad on say the botton side of SSD where some NAND can be. As for that, usually about 40c or so

#

afaik hotter then 40c is bad

stoic island Apr 29, 2020, 10:39 PM

#

I mean

#

The sticker isn't on the bottom xD

foggy hazel Apr 29, 2020, 10:40 PM

#

Hei is talking in general :)

stoic island Apr 29, 2020, 10:40 PM

#

Fair enough

#

But yea controller temp is ~40c

cursive wharf Apr 29, 2020, 10:40 PM

#

usually sticker does help as a heat transfer device for the top, which could effect bottom

#

I never looked into it so idk much of what to expect

foggy hazel Apr 29, 2020, 10:41 PM

#

generally, as long as there is a tiny bit of air flow in the case, everything will be fine

stoic island Apr 29, 2020, 10:41 PM

#

I haven't either.

#

I wonder if d15 would give it more airflow or take away airflow

cursive wharf Apr 29, 2020, 10:41 PM

#

but half my random talk tends to be "what to look out for" rather then proper info

stoic island Apr 29, 2020, 10:41 PM

#

Since the ssd is under the heatsink

kind shuttle Apr 29, 2020, 10:41 PM

#

Eh some of these standoffs just don’t wanna budge

cursive wharf Apr 29, 2020, 10:42 PM

#

I mean didnt D15 cool VRMs decently well in one of the recent GN coolers video ?

foggy hazel Apr 29, 2020, 10:42 PM

#

@kind shuttle you ever worked on a bicycle crank/chainring?

cursive wharf Apr 29, 2020, 10:42 PM

#

as such probs that SSD as well

kind shuttle Apr 29, 2020, 10:42 PM

#

Nope

foggy hazel Apr 29, 2020, 10:43 PM

#

darn, because that could explain the concept a bit easier

kind shuttle Apr 29, 2020, 10:43 PM

#

One of them is just intent on not moving at all

stoic island Apr 29, 2020, 10:43 PM

#

I remember d15 vrm temps being good..?

#

lemme take a look again, saw it on the freezer 2 review

foggy hazel Apr 29, 2020, 10:44 PM

#

which specific one @kind shuttle ?

kind shuttle Apr 29, 2020, 10:45 PM

#

buoyant flame Apr 29, 2020, 10:45 PM

Excuse me?

kind shuttle Apr 29, 2020, 10:45 PM

#

NOBODY SAID THERE WAS A TOOL THAT CAME W THE CASE

#

😂😂

foggy hazel Apr 29, 2020, 10:45 PM

#

i told you to read the manual did i not?

kind shuttle Apr 29, 2020, 10:45 PM

#

My case manual is a big sheet of paper

#

I looked for stuff on standoffs

foggy hazel Apr 29, 2020, 10:46 PM

#

where the tool is listed on

kind shuttle Apr 29, 2020, 10:46 PM

#

Couldn’t find any

#

Doesn’t matter anymore

stoic island Apr 29, 2020, 10:46 PM

D15 had the best overall VRM thermals excluding Arctic freezer 2.

It doesn’t list it on the manual!

#

foggy hazel Apr 29, 2020, 10:48 PM

celest horizon Apr 29, 2020, 10:53 PM

Don't take the wrong meaning from that graph though - 100c would be "hot" for most mosfets

foggy hazel Apr 29, 2020, 10:54 PM

#

@kind shuttle aye

#

unless you want to do a boot test outside the case?

kind shuttle Apr 29, 2020, 10:55 PM

get your gpu and psu

kind shuttle Apr 29, 2020, 10:56 PM

I haven’t touched the gpu yet

#

Still in the box

foggy hazel Apr 29, 2020, 10:56 PM

okay, lets start with getting the gpu sorted

#

it has been unpacked?

#

Yep

#

Unpacked is has been

foggy hazel Apr 29, 2020, 11:06 PM

#

now, this might sound a bit weird, but you are going to place the mainboard, so that when the GPU is plugged in, the "metal bracket" on it, goes "into" the gap there is at either end of the mainboard box

#

make sense?

kind shuttle Apr 29, 2020, 11:07 PM

#

foggy hazel Apr 29, 2020, 11:08 PM

the mainboard box, should have a gap in the cardboard, when it is closed

foggy hazel Apr 29, 2020, 11:32 PM

#

now, there are 2 ways to activate them (and yes, this is on purpose that we are talking about it now, before the PSU is plugged in)

#

way number 1: plug in the actual power button from the case

#

way number 2: use a screw driver and bridge those 2 pins (this has the same effect as pressing the power button on the case)

#

it is entirely your choice which one you want to do

kind shuttle Apr 29, 2020, 11:33 PM

#

Should anything be connected to power right now

#

At the moment nothing is

foggy hazel Apr 29, 2020, 11:34 PM

#

no, on purpose that nothing is

kind shuttle Apr 29, 2020, 11:34 PM

#

Ok

#

Just checking

#

Which way is more idiot proof or safer

#

If such a thing exists for this

foggy hazel Apr 29, 2020, 11:34 PM

#

because i didnt want you to "skip ahead" and decide running a screwdriver randomly across the board (if there was power connected) was a brilliant idea

kind shuttle Apr 29, 2020, 11:34 PM

#

I figured that wasn’t a good idea

foggy hazel Apr 29, 2020, 11:35 PM

#

as long as your hand is steady, the screwdriver is safe enough

kind shuttle Apr 29, 2020, 11:35 PM

#

When do I get to stick the fork in the socket?

#

Ok I’ll do that

foggy hazel Apr 29, 2020, 11:35 PM

#

after you are not playing around with the pc anymore

kind shuttle Apr 29, 2020, 11:35 PM

#

Hehe

foggy hazel Apr 29, 2020, 11:35 PM

#

then you can play all you want with the fork and the socket

#

okay, so now you know what comes AFTER we connect the psu

#

and just to check, but you have screwed in your PSU to the case right?

kind shuttle Apr 29, 2020, 11:36 PM

#

Yea that’s what the case manual said to do first

foggy hazel Apr 29, 2020, 11:36 PM

#

aye aye, no worries

kind shuttle Apr 29, 2020, 11:36 PM

#

Later realized that was less convenient

foggy hazel Apr 29, 2020, 11:37 PM

#

just move the mainboard box assembly over next to the case, and we can start figuring out what cables go where

kind shuttle Apr 29, 2020, 11:37 PM

#

I’m ready

foggy hazel Apr 29, 2020, 11:37 PM

#

it should be quite logical

#

find the biggest cable

kind shuttle Apr 29, 2020, 11:37 PM

#

Got that

foggy hazel Apr 29, 2020, 11:37 PM

#

that should be a 20+4 pin bugger

kind shuttle Apr 29, 2020, 11:37 PM

#

Yep

foggy hazel Apr 29, 2020, 11:38 PM

#

it might come "assembled" or it might come as a 20+4

kind shuttle Apr 29, 2020, 11:38 PM

#

That’s the main power to board right

foggy hazel Apr 29, 2020, 11:38 PM

#

aye it is

kind shuttle Apr 29, 2020, 11:38 PM

#

📎 image0.jpg

foggy hazel Apr 29, 2020, 11:38 PM

#

in it goes

#

it can only be turned one way

#

notice the "latch"

kind shuttle Apr 29, 2020, 11:39 PM

#

Yep

foggy hazel Apr 29, 2020, 11:39 PM

#

then next, find a 8 pin that has a CPU label on it

#

or EPS label

kind shuttle Apr 29, 2020, 11:40 PM

#

There’s only one 8 pin

#

And it doesn’t have a label

foggy hazel Apr 29, 2020, 11:41 PM

#

that should be the one :)

#

that goes in the upper left of the board

kind shuttle Apr 29, 2020, 11:41 PM

#

Ol

#

Ok

foggy hazel Apr 29, 2020, 11:41 PM

#

between the heatsinks up there

kind shuttle Apr 29, 2020, 11:41 PM

#

Yea

foggy hazel Apr 29, 2020, 11:41 PM

#

and then you have the PCI-e plugs

kind shuttle Apr 29, 2020, 11:42 PM

#

For future what’s the best way to unplug those

#

Just tug on them?

foggy hazel Apr 29, 2020, 11:42 PM

#

those are 6+2

#

all the plugs have latches

#

trigger those and just grip the plug and gently pull

kind shuttle Apr 29, 2020, 11:42 PM

#

That’s l

#

Ok**

foggy hazel Apr 29, 2020, 11:43 PM

#

found the 6+2 plug?

kind shuttle Apr 29, 2020, 11:43 PM

#

Yep

#

Labeled pci-e

foggy hazel Apr 29, 2020, 11:43 PM

#

aye, that is for the GPU

kind shuttle Apr 29, 2020, 11:43 PM

#

L*

#

Ok

#

The 6 and the 2 just plug in next to each other?

foggy hazel Apr 29, 2020, 11:43 PM

#

i cannot remember if your GPU requires 6 or 8 pin

kind shuttle Apr 29, 2020, 11:44 PM

#

It has 8 openings

foggy hazel Apr 29, 2020, 11:44 PM

#

if 8, then yes, just next to each other, there might be a very small "guide" rail on the plug itself (to help you push them in at the same time)

kind shuttle Apr 29, 2020, 11:44 PM

#

Is that important

foggy hazel Apr 29, 2020, 11:44 PM

#

(this is something that has a habit of changing over time)

#

as long as the plug goes in, it doesnt matter

#

but some plugs will not allow you to plug the 6pin and then the 2 pin

#

if that makes sense

kind shuttle Apr 29, 2020, 11:45 PM

#

Yea

#

Does it matter which side the 2 and the 6 go in

foggy hazel Apr 29, 2020, 11:45 PM

#

the combined 8 pin only go in "one" way

#

there is also a latch on that one (normally)

kind shuttle Apr 29, 2020, 11:46 PM

#

I see

#

Got it

foggy hazel Apr 29, 2020, 11:47 PM

#

okay

#

now plug in the monitor to the GPU

#

whatever cable you want (hdmi/dp/whatever)

kind shuttle Apr 29, 2020, 11:47 PM

#

Ok

vivid coral Apr 29, 2020, 11:47 PM

#

does he have a usb for wd10

foggy hazel Apr 29, 2020, 11:48 PM

#

read before asking please :)

#

you would know that he isnt at "that" part of it yet

kind shuttle Apr 29, 2020, 11:48 PM

#

Ok dp cable is plugged in

vivid coral Apr 29, 2020, 11:48 PM

#

i no but hes getting close

kind shuttle Apr 29, 2020, 11:48 PM

#

Im gonna do that soon

#

While I eat

#

After boot test I’m gonna make the usb stick

foggy hazel Apr 29, 2020, 11:49 PM

#

@kind shuttle connect the powercord to the psu

kind shuttle Apr 29, 2020, 11:49 PM

#

I don’t need to worry about the other psu cables?

foggy hazel Apr 29, 2020, 11:49 PM

#

and nope

#

nothing to worry about there

#

you have all the power you will need now

kind shuttle Apr 29, 2020, 11:49 PM

#

Ok

#

Done

#

How far back should I stand 🙂

foggy hazel Apr 29, 2020, 11:50 PM

#

then just touch the 2 pins we talked about earlier, and the system should boot

kind shuttle Apr 29, 2020, 11:50 PM

#

What was the other option?

foggy hazel Apr 29, 2020, 11:50 PM

#

plugging in the cable from the case

kind shuttle Apr 29, 2020, 11:50 PM

#

Lemme double check I’m using right pins

foggy hazel Apr 29, 2020, 11:51 PM

#

https://puu.sh/FEfm5/0cb061216e.png

kind shuttle Apr 29, 2020, 11:51 PM

#

It’s the last two on first row right

foggy hazel Apr 29, 2020, 11:51 PM

#

the ones right next to the "missing" pin

kind shuttle Apr 29, 2020, 11:51 PM

#

Yep

foggy hazel Apr 29, 2020, 11:51 PM

#

with the label "PWR BTN" in the picture above

kind shuttle Apr 29, 2020, 11:51 PM

#

Do I have to turn psu on

foggy hazel Apr 29, 2020, 11:52 PM

#

just touch and remove screwdriver

kind shuttle Apr 29, 2020, 11:52 PM

#

I didn’t do that

foggy hazel Apr 29, 2020, 11:52 PM

#

yes, if it isnt done :)

kind shuttle Apr 29, 2020, 11:52 PM

#

Haha ok

#

Whoah

#

Think it worked

foggy hazel Apr 29, 2020, 11:52 PM

#

things should be spinning

kind shuttle Apr 29, 2020, 11:52 PM

#

Yes

#

They are

foggy hazel Apr 29, 2020, 11:52 PM

#

and after a bit, the display should come on

kind shuttle Apr 29, 2020, 11:52 PM

#

Yep

#

It worked

foggy hazel Apr 29, 2020, 11:53 PM

#

good

#

now just turn of the psu

#

on the switch on the back

#

(as in, the on/off one)

kind shuttle Apr 29, 2020, 11:53 PM

Yep

It’s off

@stoic island Yeah, I wanted to match the fans on the AIO

foggy hazel Apr 29, 2020, 11:55 PM

#

@kind shuttle when things are disconnected, and the GPU has been unplugged from the mainboard again (REMEMBER there is a latch on the mainboard for the GPU)

#

it will be time for you to put the mainboard into the case

next tangle Apr 29, 2020, 11:56 PM

Also, anything cheaper than that price listed for my list would be awesome.

I mean, if you lose the 3 ML fans, you can get a better build for sure..

I'd like to know if it would be okay to cheap out a little bit and get the 5700XT MSI Mech model

gloomy rivet Apr 30, 2020, 12:20 AM

#

i see

#

im not suprised lol

#

im very inexperienced like i said

stoic island Apr 30, 2020, 12:20 AM

#

Naed, I feel it's prob worth returning 2600 for a 3600, then returning ram for ripjaw v 3600mhz kit, and maybe save some money on the ssd, and a better GPU?

next tangle Apr 30, 2020, 12:20 AM

#

@stoic island Why isn't the AIO right for me?

foggy hazel Apr 30, 2020, 12:20 AM

#

all of it goes back imo @stoic island

#

maybe aside from the Optix

#

and potentially the case, depending on the price

stoic island Apr 30, 2020, 12:21 AM

#

I remember that case being a good cost

foggy hazel Apr 30, 2020, 12:21 AM

#

@gloomy rivet could you tell us the price you paid for the case?

gloomy rivet Apr 30, 2020, 12:21 AM

#

let me check

foggy hazel Apr 30, 2020, 12:22 AM

#

@stiff adder you are currently at the back of the queue, but recheck your cables, all of them.

gloomy rivet Apr 30, 2020, 12:22 AM

#

about 100

stoic island Apr 30, 2020, 12:22 AM

#

Just as a reference, this is close to what I would be suggesting you buy at a similar price. @gloomy rivet

foggy hazel Apr 30, 2020, 12:22 AM

#

@next tangle the "detail" about your build is that generally, it is just mismatched like heck.

next tangle Apr 30, 2020, 12:23 AM

#

Oh, how's it mismatched?

gloomy rivet Apr 30, 2020, 12:23 AM

#

does it seem like i would have to return everything?

foggy hazel Apr 30, 2020, 12:23 AM

#

please read over what both @stoic island and myself have been saying @next tangle

kind shuttle Apr 30, 2020, 12:23 AM

#

Can’t seem to get my board to push right next to the IO shield

foggy hazel Apr 30, 2020, 12:23 AM

#

let me grab a link for you @gloomy rivet

stoic island Apr 30, 2020, 12:24 AM

#

If you look at the list I sent, that is the performance you Could be getting at the same price

foggy hazel Apr 30, 2020, 12:24 AM

#

give me 2 minutes @kind shuttle

gloomy rivet Apr 30, 2020, 12:24 AM

#

damn it i should have found this server earlier before buting

buoyant flame Apr 30, 2020, 12:24 AM

The io shield may not be pushed in all the way @kind shuttle

#

buying

kind shuttle Apr 30, 2020, 12:24 AM

#

Ok

stiff adder Apr 30, 2020, 12:24 AM

#

Would the cpu (1600af) on an x570 be the problem?

next tangle Apr 30, 2020, 12:24 AM

#

Oh @foggy hazel sorry, I didn't see anything you guys were saying to me because you guys were also helping other people so I got confused who you guys were talking to.

stoic island Apr 30, 2020, 12:25 AM

#

I'll just ping to make things easier to see

kind shuttle Apr 30, 2020, 12:25 AM

#

Should all of the ports in the rear of the board b even with the IO shield?

foggy hazel Apr 30, 2020, 12:25 AM

im just worried i wont be able to return now at this point

stoic island Apr 30, 2020, 12:25 AM

#

@next tangle Buying AIO is usually a bad decision for price to performance

foggy hazel Apr 30, 2020, 12:26 AM

#

@gloomy rivet ignore the summary at the top, but that is just the GPU difference between that Mr1111 linked and what you linked

next tangle Apr 30, 2020, 12:26 AM

#

Oh, why is that? @stoic island

kind shuttle Apr 30, 2020, 12:26 AM

damn thats a big difference

Yes, that would be good

@gloomy rivet sorry mate

well i know the msi monitor is definitely a keep right?

@kind shuttle lets have a look

dang, i just saw it's 30 minutes 😂

#

good thing i finished all my online school work

gloomy rivet Apr 30, 2020, 12:28 AM

#

hmmm i dont know if ill be able to return everything actually oof

kind shuttle Apr 30, 2020, 12:28 AM

#

U can kinda see

#

Hold on it’s sending

#

📎 image0.jpg

stoic island Apr 30, 2020, 12:28 AM

#

Also another warning, some margins might look really high in the video, but that's because everything is grouped together, so a big difference in the chart could just be 2c difference @next tangle

gloomy rivet Apr 30, 2020, 12:28 AM

#

thats a bummer lol

stoic island Apr 30, 2020, 12:28 AM

#

so try not to skip around without reading and listening

next tangle Apr 30, 2020, 12:28 AM

#

alright @stoic island

foggy hazel Apr 30, 2020, 12:29 AM

#

@kind shuttle the IO shield is supposed to "snap" into the case (kinda like you can see on the right hand side in your picture above)

kind shuttle Apr 30, 2020, 12:29 AM

#

It is snapped in

next tangle Apr 30, 2020, 12:30 AM

#

One thing, the fans I picked are 2 packs, I chose 3 because 3x2 is 6 and 6 fans are supported in the case.

kind shuttle Apr 30, 2020, 12:30 AM

#

It’s fine if there’s a tiny gap between IO and motherboard?

foggy hazel Apr 30, 2020, 12:30 AM

#

@gloomy rivet i would strongly recommend having a serious look at what you can return and what you cant. And to make certain it is clear. The case and the monitor are keepers.

#

@kind shuttle look at the standoffs

#

if you have access to them, then everything is okay

kind shuttle Apr 30, 2020, 12:31 AM

#

Ok

gloomy rivet Apr 30, 2020, 12:31 AM

#

@foggy hazel Thanks. I'll look into it thanks for the help

foggy hazel Apr 30, 2020, 12:31 AM

#

@kind shuttle sidenote: just like the CPU cooler, just get the first screw to catch in the standoff

#

@gloomy rivet you are very welcome, sorry we couldnt give you more happy news

#

@stiff adder still there?

next tangle Apr 30, 2020, 12:38 AM

#

alright, so what I'm getting out of this video is I should go with an air cooler?

#

thanks forks

foggy hazel Apr 30, 2020, 12:40 AM

#

its been 11 minutes

kind shuttle Apr 30, 2020, 12:40 AM

#

Lmao

foggy hazel Apr 30, 2020, 12:40 AM

#

that is a 30-ish minute video

kind shuttle Apr 30, 2020, 12:40 AM

#

Naed what’s next

next tangle Apr 30, 2020, 12:40 AM

#

I meant that as at 12 minutes in

kind shuttle Apr 30, 2020, 12:40 AM

#

After mobo is in

stoic island Apr 30, 2020, 12:41 AM

#

In my opinion, there is only 1 acceptable AIO for medium budget, and that is Arctic freezer 2, so that's an option if you REALLY REALLY want AIOs.
but @next tangle but you really should watch the whole thing, not just the first bit, the last 10 minutes or so they talk about ups and downs of both air and water.

foggy hazel Apr 30, 2020, 12:41 AM

#

@kind shuttle got the mainboard screwed in ?

kind shuttle Apr 30, 2020, 12:41 AM

#

Yep!

next tangle Apr 30, 2020, 12:41 AM

#

Okay, thanks @stoic island

foggy hazel Apr 30, 2020, 12:42 AM

#

there are a bunch of cables "in" the case that needs to be connected to the mainboard

#

plus power cords ofc @kind shuttle

kind shuttle Apr 30, 2020, 12:42 AM

#

Yea I see those

foggy hazel Apr 30, 2020, 12:42 AM

#

some of the cables are fairly obvious, they can only go in "one" location

kind shuttle Apr 30, 2020, 12:42 AM

#

Are there ones that are better to do first for cable management

foggy hazel Apr 30, 2020, 12:42 AM

#

whatever you want really

kind shuttle Apr 30, 2020, 12:43 AM

#

Ok

foggy hazel Apr 30, 2020, 12:43 AM

#

cable management is something that is done diferently from person to person

#

so, you do you :)

stiff adder Apr 30, 2020, 12:43 AM

#

Yeah

#

We put in a 2200g to test

Still no

@foggy hazel what type of splitter is being requested?

@buoyant flame I am just not a photogenic person 😄

Alright @foggy hazel soooooo. We put in a 2200g with a 5700xt, didn't work. Then just the 2200g, nothing. Thennn! We put in the old 1050, and it booted straight to windows off our old boot drive(ssd). I'm lost.

oh

so should i get like a amd

foggy hazel Apr 30, 2020, 12:59 AM

it is not that we cannot find the parts

#

oh

next tangle Apr 30, 2020, 1:00 AM

#

since he already owns 2 of the things on that list, he could take away those from the list to bring the price down then add like a 3200G

#

just that it would NOT be worth doing so for you @modest kraken

next tangle Apr 30, 2020, 1:00 AM

well what's your budget for the build? @modest kraken

#

including a monitor im guessing

foggy hazel Apr 30, 2020, 1:01 AM

#

@stiff adder just because the connectors came with the GPU does not mean they have to ALL go in

modest kraken Apr 30, 2020, 1:01 AM

about 550

pastel briar Apr 30, 2020, 1:07 AM

I wasnt sure if that was the absolute max or if that was there "I really don't want to spend more then, but $X amount is really the ceiling for my build that I can spend"

you guys can take that up with @modest kraken

need a lot more details to offer anything. Lets start with you making us a pcpp list please.

stable ledge Apr 30, 2020, 1:09 AM

My assumption rn is the mobo or CPU is shitting itself, but leaning more toward mobo

foggy hazel Apr 30, 2020, 1:12 AM

#

ask away @kind shuttle

kind shuttle Apr 30, 2020, 1:12 AM

#

I’m connecting front IO cables to F panel

pastel briar Apr 30, 2020, 1:12 AM

#

IRQL is typically a drivers issue, but having the screen shots so i can see exact codes will help (you can dm them so its not cluttering the chat here)

Which pins does the reset SW connector go

#

And which one does power SW go to

foggy hazel Apr 30, 2020, 1:12 AM

#

remember the 9 pin connector from earlier

modest kraken Apr 30, 2020, 1:12 AM

#

@foggy hazel for the mess that i have what should i be looking at changing

kind shuttle Apr 30, 2020, 1:12 AM

#

Yea

#

I got the led pins and the HDd pins

foggy hazel Apr 30, 2020, 1:13 AM

#

@modest kraken @stoic island is currently looking into it for you

@kind shuttle http://puu.sh/FEfm5/0cb061216e.png

pastel briar Apr 30, 2020, 1:13 AM

#

there usually is a Reset + and RESET - (or if power, sometings it may Pwr+ PWR-) that your reset/power switches should go to

stoic island Apr 30, 2020, 1:14 AM

#

Naed, I was trying to figure stuff out with a replacement lower end option from a 1600af, can't find much right now... My keyboard is acting up, I'm gonna try and open it up and take a look, is it alright I leave them with you @foggy hazel ?

foggy hazel Apr 30, 2020, 1:15 AM

#

sure @stoic island

#

thanks for the try :)

kind shuttle Apr 30, 2020, 1:15 AM

#

Naed the problem is which way the power button connector goes

#

It doesn’t say which pin is pwr and which is ground

#

On the cord that comes from the button I mean

foggy hazel Apr 30, 2020, 1:16 AM

#

on the back of the connector itself, there will be a small "mark" on one side

#

@kind shuttle

#

that is the "positive"

kind shuttle Apr 30, 2020, 1:16 AM

#

There’s a little triangle

foggy hazel Apr 30, 2020, 1:16 AM

#

aye

#

thats the mark of the positive side

kind shuttle Apr 30, 2020, 1:17 AM

#

So that connects to ground

#

or vice verse

gloomy rivet Apr 30, 2020, 1:17 AM

wait the pc i got sent wouldnt work lol

foggy hazel Apr 30, 2020, 1:17 AM

#

@kind shuttle yes

foggy hazel Apr 30, 2020, 1:18 AM

#

@kind shuttle its really simple, when everything is up and running, if the reset button doesnt work? flip the connector.

Naed I think I’m almost done

foggy hazel Apr 30, 2020, 1:57 AM

#

oh?

kind shuttle Apr 30, 2020, 1:57 AM

#

Cable management is a little messy but part of that is the non modular psu

foggy hazel Apr 30, 2020, 1:57 AM

#

aye, that is the tradeoff

kind shuttle Apr 30, 2020, 1:57 AM

#

I kinda just zip tied the extra ones to the thing where the hard drive is usually mounted

foggy hazel Apr 30, 2020, 1:57 AM

#

aye aye

kind shuttle Apr 30, 2020, 1:57 AM

#

So they’re at the bottom out of the way

#

The F panel connectors were a pain in the toosh

foggy hazel Apr 30, 2020, 1:58 AM

#

the only one that the cabling matters for is you

kind shuttle Apr 30, 2020, 1:58 AM

#

True

foggy hazel Apr 30, 2020, 1:58 AM

#

the hardware doesnt give a toss

kind shuttle Apr 30, 2020, 1:58 AM

#

What do I do now

foggy hazel Apr 30, 2020, 1:58 AM

#

and yes, front panel connectors are .. interesting ...

#

got the GPU plugged in again?

kind shuttle Apr 30, 2020, 1:59 AM

#

Yep

#

📎 image0.jpg

foggy hazel Apr 30, 2020, 1:59 AM

#

try and power it on again (with the monitor plugged in)

#

just to check that things are actually working

kind shuttle Apr 30, 2020, 2:01 AM

#

Ok

pastel briar Apr 30, 2020, 2:01 AM

#

@foggy hazel yuppers, got it, thanks

foggy hazel Apr 30, 2020, 2:01 AM

#

because the next step is closing it all up and plugging things in and getting the windows install started

#

np @pastel briar

pastel briar Apr 30, 2020, 2:05 AM

#

@stable ledge you have driver issues, you need to boot to safe mode (F8 typically) and then log into your admin account, then once in safe mode go to your device manager and right click and check for updated drivers

#

after that run the following commands, SFC and CHKDSK to repair corrupted system files and bad sectors

#

Type: sfc /scannow and hit Enter; Let the program complete the scanning process so as to find and repair corrupted system files.
After that, type: chkdsk <your OS drive letter here>: /f /r /x and hit Enter

EXAMPLE: chkdsk C: /f /r /x and hit Enter

Sorry for the wall of text, hope it helps, if you can do that and then let us know we can take it from there but mostlikely based on your Bsods this should be all that is needed

kind shuttle Apr 30, 2020, 2:09 AM

#

@foggy hazel how do I check it’s working w out the screwdriver thing

#

Monitor is hooked up

raw igloo Apr 30, 2020, 2:09 AM

Can I put links in this chat?

pastel briar Apr 30, 2020, 2:09 AM

#

Opps I did it again..... orders rack mount case for PC build

foggy hazel Apr 30, 2020, 2:09 AM

#

if you hooked up the front panel, then the power button works @kind shuttle

#

@raw igloo if relevant, yes

pastel briar Apr 30, 2020, 2:10 AM

#

if your PC turned on after pushing the button for power it is working as expected @kind shuttle

Hello. My friend recently purchased this pc 😦 https://www.staples.com/cyberpowerpc-gamer-master-gma60-gaming-desktop-computer-amd-ryzen-3-2300x/product_24394735 (I tried to make him build one but he was stubborn.) I noticed the GPU is hot garbage for "Gaming". I was wondering if he could upgrade it and what could he upgrade it to for under 200$?

pastel briar Apr 30, 2020, 2:11 AM

#

well the next step is to let it boot

#

😄

foggy hazel Apr 30, 2020, 2:11 AM

#

check that your reset button works @kind shuttle

kind shuttle Apr 30, 2020, 2:11 AM

#

What should it do when I hit it

pastel briar Apr 30, 2020, 2:11 AM

#

just reset the PC

#

reboots it

kind shuttle Apr 30, 2020, 2:12 AM

#

I think it did that

#

Yep it did

#

Now what

pastel briar Apr 30, 2020, 2:12 AM

#

ok then let it fully boot and log in and play around

foggy hazel Apr 30, 2020, 2:12 AM

#

and then hold the power button for 4+ seconds

#

that should make the machine shutdown

kind shuttle Apr 30, 2020, 2:12 AM

#

It did

foggy hazel Apr 30, 2020, 2:13 AM

#

there isnt a OS there yet @pastel briar

kind shuttle Apr 30, 2020, 2:13 AM

#

I have the installer usb

foggy hazel Apr 30, 2020, 2:13 AM

#

grab a keyboard and mouse

kind shuttle Apr 30, 2020, 2:13 AM

#

Got it

pastel briar Apr 30, 2020, 2:13 AM

#

@foggy hazel ah didn't know the OS wasn't installed yet, my bad

foggy hazel Apr 30, 2020, 2:14 AM

#

(the 4 second thing is a way to teach something, without it feeling like that)

#

because it is 100% not needed

pastel briar Apr 30, 2020, 2:14 AM

#

yea, I asked that originally not relizing the OS wasn't installed yet

foggy hazel Apr 30, 2020, 2:15 AM

#

@kind shuttle plug in the usb and boot from it

kind shuttle Apr 30, 2020, 2:15 AM

#

USB plugged in and it’s on

#

Now what

#

Shouldn’t I check to see it recognizes all the things

#

Ssd, ram etc

#

Nvm it says that

#

One question

pastel briar Apr 30, 2020, 2:17 AM

#

restart the PC and boot into the USB drive, (you can also use the BIOS [Press DEL on most PCs or what ever key is designated by your mainboard mfg] to tell the system to one time boot to the USB drive)

kind shuttle Apr 30, 2020, 2:17 AM

#

If I have 3600 speed ram why does it say 2133 on screen

pastel briar Apr 30, 2020, 2:17 AM

#

you have to go into BIOS to set the XMP profile

foggy hazel Apr 30, 2020, 2:17 AM

#

because of XMP settings

#

ignore for now

#

not important really

pastel briar Apr 30, 2020, 2:18 AM

#

but for now were just trying to get you running, XMP can be set later

kind shuttle Apr 30, 2020, 2:18 AM

#

Did a fresh windows install and having driver issues. Getting a NVIDIA INSTALLER CANNOT CONTINUE when trying to install the latest drivers for my 2080 super. Any insight?

pastel briar Apr 30, 2020, 2:19 AM

#

Possible driver conflict, you may need to run the DDU and wipe old drivers off to correct

#

then reinstall using GeForce experience

kind shuttle Apr 30, 2020, 2:20 AM

#

Do I press f1 to start setup? Or do I hit delete key

pastel briar Apr 30, 2020, 2:20 AM

#

@foggy hazel have a good sleep mate, its only 22:20 here

#

del @kind shuttle

@pastel briar even in a fresh windows installation?

kind shuttle Apr 30, 2020, 2:20 AM

#

Delete doesn’t seem to do anything

pastel briar Apr 30, 2020, 2:20 AM

#

how fresh are we talking?

empty patio Apr 30, 2020, 2:21 AM

#

Like brand new nvme drive with brand new windows just booted up. Only drivers installed is the Lan

#

Fresh fresh lol

pastel briar Apr 30, 2020, 2:21 AM

#

you kinda have to be quick on the ball some time, some boards may be F1 instead, but basically we just need to boot into the BIOS, or have the system auto boot to USB to install windows

kind shuttle Apr 30, 2020, 2:21 AM

#

Ok so restart and mash delete?

pastel briar Apr 30, 2020, 2:22 AM

#

@empty patio is the RTX card installed currently, all power connectors hooked up correctly, and are you using the GeForce software, or the drivers disk that came with the card?

@kind shuttle if the system does not auto boot to USB yes we can restart and "mash" the del key (just below insert)

foggy hazel Apr 30, 2020, 2:23 AM

#

@kind shuttle its f2 on your board (for getting to bios)

#

and thank you @pastel briar

#

likewise when you get there.

foggy hazel Apr 30, 2020, 2:24 AM

kind shuttle Apr 30, 2020, 2:24 AM

#
