#

bc I use the overlay for recording :P

#

which means I basically need everything

eager chasm
#

you use Nvidia's built-in recording software?

little leaf
#

yes

stoic island
#

Yea

#

its great

eager chasm
#

ewww XD

celest horizon
#

It's not bad if you're already using GXP - but OBS 23.0 as of Jan 2019 is nearly as good for streaming or screen capture, also gives you more file output options.

#

You're tied to mp4 / NVENC encoding on gxp

stoic island
#

I mean thats all I want

#

so it's great for me

#

I like working with mp4/nvenc

eager chasm
#

you can still use those on OBS and have FAR more control over it

stoic island
#

I don't need more control

#

It has all I need

celest horizon
#

Ya, like I said - it's the "just works" option

stoic island
#

mhm

#

I couldn't figure out obs

#

and I need geforce experience for drivers anyways

#

might as well

little osprey
#

is it worth it to send my gpu back for them to test it and figure out why its whining on low loads

stoic island
#

Yea

#

why not

eager chasm
#

I'm just thankful I had a spare 1060 lying about when I needed to RMA my GPU, I don't have integrated graphics to limp on

little osprey
#

me either oh well

#

do i have to get a box myself and do a shipping label

eager chasm
#

... there is a AMD driver update...but it's soo stable now I KNOW something will break if I click update XD

little osprey
#

o no

stoic island
#

you might

#

not really sure how MSI does RMAs

#

They'll tell ya

little osprey
#

i geuss i ship to them im scared to leave it up to ups to keep it safe

#

alrigght boys ima have to shut off my pc rn love you 😦

silk estuary
#

PSU, Mobo, and my boot drive are on their way! When I get paid I'll get my GPU and my RAM, and I'll be set~

little leaf

#

One sec

final hamlet

stoic island
#

lol

tepid basalt
#

Is the b450 steel legend good?
Tech yes city review says its vrm gets close to 100 C when he runs a 2700 on that thing

little osprey
#

Yikes

lusty bramble
#

Can anyone confirm if the B450 GAMING PRO CARBON MAX WIFI works with Ryzen 5 3600x out of the box? pls ping

little osprey
#

Yes it does I have it

#

@lusty bramble

lusty bramble
#

thank you

polar goblet
#

Noobie question plz help ha.
Running
Asus x570 gaming plus
ryzen 9 3900x
MSI NVIDIA 1070

What programs should I download or need to use? I want to download what I need and will use and not download stuff I don’t.

For example, need MSI afterburner. Do I need GeForce experience? Or just my drivers. What programs?

lusty bramble
#

would it be better to go with an x570 since they are around the same price

little osprey
#

But do not open it when you get it in the mail if on the front of the mother board case if it does not have the stick that it works with the ryzen 3000 series

#

I use afterburner for gpu and cpu temps

#

GeForce experience just keeps all the drivers up to date

#

@polar goblet

#

I have more software but I forgot the name because I just had to send my gpu in

tepid basalt
#

would it be better to go with an x570 since they are around the same price
@lusty bramble I thought x570 with wifi is actually much more expensive?

deep skiff
#

tuf x570 wifi should be around 200-210

polar goblet
#

Still not getting audio out of my MSI mag27cqr monitor.
It’s showing audio is playing but I’m not hearing anything

lusty bramble
#

@tepid basalt right now on Amazon the B450 GAMING PRO CARBON MAX WIFI is only sold by one person and they have it listed for 208, ASRock X570 is 143 and I can add a wifi adaptor

#

the Tuf X570 is currently unavailable too

tepid basalt
#

so the max version of that board is finally available

#

and the price is stupidly high

#

I thought you were asking about the non max version

#

if u r comfortable then go for it

stoic island
#

@polar goblet I assume you checked to make sure your output is set to the Mag272cqr audio?

lusty bramble
#

Looking over the ASRock X570 and it lists M.2 (Key E) for wifi, will the adaptor I found that uses the PCIe port work?

stoic island
lusty bramble
#

I swear all day long it was not. wow

stoic island
#

I've had this list all day lol

lusty bramble
#

my head hurts

stoic island
exotic lichen
#

Can someone tell me

#

If I actually have to put liquid inside my water cooling?

#

If so what type

little leaf
#

@silk estuary why not the super and the regular one instead

#

any why you making anouther one?

silk estuary
#

?

#

This is my first build

fringe wharf
#

is that good for a first pc?

polar goblet
#

Yes

stoic island
#

Interesting

fringe wharf
#

interesting?

polar goblet
fringe wharf
#

i think ima need more fans though. which do i get?

polar goblet
sullen spoke
#

that's the front panel audio

stoic island
#

@fringe wharf I'd advise against that ssd

fringe wharf
#

@stoic island why?

fast dust
#

It’s just not the best

#

Not as fast as other ssds, not the best quality

#

At least from my experience

fringe wharf
#

is there a better one thats not so expensive?

stoic island
#

Dramless

#

Silicon power a80 256gb if you want a nvme drive

fast dust
#

Mx500?

fringe wharf
#

? idk what that is

fast dust
#

Not know what NVMe is or what the mx500 is?

fringe wharf
#

NVMe

stoic island
#

Mx500 256gb is actually more expensive than a80 xD

fast dust
#

Dang

#

NVMe is just a new version of ssd. It’s faster than SATA, but not a noticeable amount faster @fringe wharf

fringe wharf
#

So what im hearing is go with the NVMe

fast dust
#

Also they connect to your motherboard so it’s good for cable management

#

Yes NVMe

#

Mr1111’s recommendation is good

fringe wharf
#

in the reviews people are saying it doesnt last lon

#

gg

little leaf
#

@silk estuary was just confusing me because you already had specs in your name

#

and also don't get regular 2070 get the super

silver lava
#

Got a wifi card today, and it didn't fit with my graphics card in with a recommended build. What were they thinking? Did I do it wrong or something?

silk estuary
#

@little leaf I'm getting the super???

little leaf
#

ok just in the list it wasn't the super

polar goblet
little leaf
#

also @silk estuary what you using the pc for?

silk estuary
#

Gaming

little leaf
#

why do you have 7 tbs of storage

#

and whats with the 2 monitors

#

and also no case

cosmic pendant
#

So i have a problem my ethernet cable wont fit into ethernet port and im not sure why the cord is too big for the socket

silk estuary
#

I have my case already

#

And 7 tbs because I want it

#

And two monitors for music and gaming

little leaf
#

aight pretty pricey music monitor

silk estuary
#

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

#

If I'm getting myself a good gpu I'm gonna do above 1080p

polar goblet
#

I hear audio if I plugin headphones from here. Just not out of my monitor 🤔

pastel briar
#

@polar goblet to get audio out of your display via HDMI you need to go back here, you had the answer before, remember when you showed me this picture and made a comment about hearing audio out of your screen and I asked if you were using HDMI?

Hey guys, I was hoping some of you Tech-Genius' could give me a little help/advice. I recently bought and built a new pc based on some third party advice, but after building it, I've had issues installing windows on the HDD so I used my old HDD and installed a fresh windows 10 64-bit OS on my pc and it's really slow. The advice I recieved gave me the impression this PC would be really fast but thats clearly not true. Im hoping that the build is fine and its something that I'm doing wrong or not doing at all that is the cause? I can't seem to install my Graphics Card Driver either, it keeps telling me Windows 10 isn't the right version (I've done all the updates available) Any Suggestions?
Motherboard: AsRock x399 Taichi
Graphics Card: Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060
CPU: AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1900x
RAM: G. Skill TridentZ RGB Series 16GB (2x8GB) 288-Pin DDR4

stoic island
#

It being slow is likely because of the HDD, do you have any SSDs to install Windows on?

queen fjord
#

I don't, I just have the tradition style SATA HDD

#

When Installing Windows 10, it only picks up my DVD Drive and not my HDD but both are hooked up the same?

stoic island
#

Not sure where the windows issues are coming from...

queen fjord
#

Me either, I've installed windows a thousand times in the past, and the weirdest part is, for the displayed disks it shows my DVD drive and not my HDD but it says 0MB. Some how the windows install disc is recogniing my DVD Driver as a HDD or something

stoic island
#

Have you tried installing Windows with a USB drive?

pastel briar
#

did you delete/clean the disk then format for the windows 10 install? are you using the USB style installer for windows (or one you made)?

stoic island
#

I think they're using disk that comes with windows when you buy it normally

queen fjord
#

The only USB based HDD I have is my Backup HDD which has 940GB of used space. I dont have any other way of hooking my HDD up. And I cannot seem to get my HDD to show up at all to be able to format it

stoic island
#

Quite weird

queen fjord
#

Yea, that's what I thought

stoic island
#

I mean like a USB stick? Like a 8gb/16gb one

queen fjord
#

I do have a USB stick somewhere, should I plug it in and see if it shows up?

stoic island
#

Are you aware of how to create an installation media onto a USB stick?

queen fjord
#

I've only ever done it once

stoic island
#

While I'm not sure what the issue is, it's always good to try things until something works :p

sacred obsidian
#

quick question, when you say it's slow, what do you mean? like crazy laggy or just slow start up?

queen fjord
#

Lol, I couldn't agree more. Just I'm new to these sorts of issues. I usually build a PC then use it for about 6 years 😂

wary tundra
#

how much faster is a solid nvme than a ssd

queen fjord
#

Like If I drag windows, they stutter and the reaction time of opening Google Chrome and other Applications is rather slow

sacred obsidian
#

and you said you were just using that hdd on another pc, correct?

queen fjord
#

Yea, it wasn't this slow on the other pc

sacred obsidian
#

was the other pc also running windows 10?

queen fjord
#

Yea, same Install Disc

sacred obsidian
#

ok so i have a suspicion its not the hdd itself

#

but

#

it could be, but it could also be that windows didnt install correctly

#

so itd be the same solution, try to make a media install tool. If you can, Id still install it on the new hdd, just make sure if you do that you unplug the current hdd and the disk drive and when you plug in the usb, when you get to the select your hard drive tool, make sure you click the hard drive and erase it, and then select it to install

#

if you can install it on the other hdd and it is still laggy, its likely another component causing the issue. HDDs are slow but theyre perfectly functional

queen fjord
#

So are there any video tutorials on this process lol I mean when I install from the USB drive how do I do that?

sacred obsidian
#

ok hold on

queen fjord
#

Thanks for all the help guys! Hopefully I can get this figured out! Quite a bit of money to just throw out the window 😂

sacred obsidian
#

microsoft isnt loading for me anAngry

queen fjord
#

Ok got it

sacred obsidian
#

after its downloaded, just plug in a USB stick and run the tool, select the usb stick, and follow the steps on the screen.

queen fjord
#

Awesome I'll give that a shot! Thank you so much!

sacred obsidian
#

make sure you select whatever windows version that you have a key for

queen fjord
#

Wil ldo

#

will-do*

sacred obsidian
#

once you have that done, shut down the PC, plug in the new hdd and unplug the others, and then plug the usb in and turn it on. Press del to go into bios and look for your boot order and make sure the usb is set to boot first. Then save and restart, then follow the steps on the screen to install windows. At one point it will ask you to select your install location and just select the hdd, format it, and install windows.

polar goblet
#

@pastel briar
Ok what do I do there?

#

And yes it’s connected through hdmi

queen fjord
#

awesome thanks, the media device is almost done then ill give it a shot

woven crypt
#

My PC was completed a little while ago. Everything seems to be in working order, but it's not sending a signal to the monitor. Any ideas of what could be going wrong?

sacred obsidian
#

alright good luck 🙂

pastel briar
#

@polar goblet you just need to set the audio output to your display

#

via the hdmi interface

queen fjord
#

@sacred obsidian hey so I tried installing windows off the USB drive and now its showing my HDD but it's only showing this with 0MB now?

polar goblet
#

@pastel briar
Ok... where is that?

#

I’ve spent the last few hours trying to fix it and get it. Nor can I find “hdmi interface”

stoic island
#

@polar goblet USB or 3.5mm jack headphones?

#

Because it might only allow for 3.5mm jack

polar goblet
#

When I plugin my headphones I hear audio. I just don’t hear audio out of my monitor

stoic island
#

Wait wait wait

#

Are you trying to use monitor speakers..?

Or are you doing sound passthrough to plug your headphones into the monitor?

polar goblet
#

Yes my monitor speakers

stoic island
#

Does it have speakers ..?

polar goblet
#

I want to hear sound out of my monitor speakers

stoic island
#

I don't think it had speakers

polar goblet
#

I guess not ...

#

Idk why I thought it did

stoic island
#

Most monitors nowadays don't

polar goblet
#

MSI OPTIX mag27cqr

stoic island
#

Bc they usually are on the sides, and nobody likes bezels

stuck eagle
#

So rn I am building a pc and i have like $220 bucks and I need a graphics card any recomendations

stoic island
#

.. save up

polar goblet
#

Rip

#

To the last few hours of my life

stoic island
#

Rip indeed

#

We take speakers for granted now days

little leaf
#

@stuck eagle I dont think you can get anything for that much

stuck eagle
#

its like a rx 580 or a 1660

polar goblet
#

Best low cost speakers? 20-50ish? Do they exist?

sullen spoke
#

I think speakers do exist at that price, idk any

#

Also even if the monitor did have speakers I wouldn’t use them, they are usually hot garbage

little leaf
#

@stuck eagle do you mean just gpu or entire pc

silk estuary
#

I'm hoping he means gpu

stuck eagle
#

gpu

silk estuary
#

I don't think anyone can find a useful pc for 220

#

Hello people. Does this kind of mother board have a RAM maximum? My memory is currently 8G and I just got two 8G Sticks in the mail, making it a total of 24 Gigs memory. Will try to post my mother board info

#

I'm just having video output issues to the monitor, and tried installing just the new sticks in. I may need to upgrade my graphics card too

Rm 2019 is good, RMx is slightly better tho

warped moat
#

Good luck on your build

little leaf
#

@silk estuary if you were going all out you would do 3950x

#

stoic island
#

Why not 3990x 2080ti Dumb

silk estuary
#

Ok, let's nitpick me then

stoic island
#

Jk

silk estuary
#

No, I'm not going all out then. God dang.

stoic island
#

Hey chill

#

We're having our fun

tepid basalt
#

z3900?

little leaf
#

sorry z390

tepid basalt
#

jk

#

what do u mean best one

little leaf
#

I just keep seeing it being used and recommened

tepid basalt
#

no I don't think it's the best

little leaf
#

that hurts me

#

my cooler tubes barelly reach the cpu

stoic island
#

Oo nice Arctic freezer 2?

tepid basalt
#

YEP

#

I tried to order one through unofficial route

#

but have to give up because the price is too high

silk estuary
#

I'm getting an nzxt kraken

stoic island
#

Nice that perf gonna be great

#

Trident z neos too I assume?

tepid basalt
#

think so

#

as usual, just another pic on pc part picker

#

not mine lol

stoic island
#

Ah

tepid basalt
#

I'm doing research on aio

#

thinking of buying one

stoic island
#

Lmao that's Gaming pro carbon ac too

#

Dats my Mobo

tepid basalt
#

really?

#

how is it?

stoic island
#

It's very nice so far

tepid basalt
#

the bios thing

#

what's the problem with that?

silk estuary
#

Cuz the arctic freezer 2 went out of stock

stoic island
#

I had it with a 2700x so I updated it myself, idk with new stock.

silk estuary
#

Also lemme check

tepid basalt
#

I haven't seen any good explanation on max vs non max

#

kinda blurry

stoic island
#

Arctic freezer 2 is the only AIO I would recommend for price to perf

tepid basalt
#

just a downgrade in bios ui and that's it

stoic island
#

I reccomend the crap out of air coolers

#

Esp Noctua ones

tepid basalt
#

idk about performance, features, etc with the new bios on that mobo

stoic island
#

Yea the max and non max has been really iffy

tepid basalt
#

so there're issues?

#

what's that

stoic island
#

I mean idk what bios gaming pro carbon has now

#

That the max does/doesn't have

#

Like I really like my Mobo so far

#

I'd love to reccomend it if I knew the situation with it's bios

#

Actually wait

little osprey
#

hey guys i had a question, so I will most likely be gaming on a ryzen 5 3600 and a RX 580. I will mainly be playing Minecraft and I will be on all low settings, does anyone have something similar so they can let me know how much FPS I will be using?

stoic island
#

You can flash that board without an old cpu

#

Go with it anyways :D

#

Bc MSI bios flashback

silk estuary
#

Naw I'm getting corsair vengeance ram

stoic island
#

@little osprey you can look up benchmarks on YouTube

tepid basalt
#

just mine craft? i don't think you really need a 3600 for that

stoic island
#

Like "rx 580 rainbow six siege benchmark"

little osprey
#

yeah but they dont have low setting usually they have like maximum settings possible

stoic island
#

That kinda tbingt

#

Oh wait

#

I'm tired

little osprey
#

anyone play minecraft like pvp wise?

tepid basalt
#

ah no

#

u can go to general to ask guys over there

stoic island
#

I just have my fun with other ppl

little osprey
#

little osprey
#

i am

#

lol

trim violet
#

could you help me out?

little osprey
#

sure just message me, i'll see if I can help

silk estuary
#

That's not gonna be an issue, is it?

tepid basalt
#

no

#

are you going to oc a 3950x?

#

and even if you do, according to buildzoid, the addional 4 pin connector is unnecessary

cursive wharf
#

glhf trying to pull more then 300w on AM4. That's when you need more then an 8 pin EPS

compact hill
#

Depending on the CPU

#

Is your running a 3950x your gonna want the extra 4pin

#

If*

#

Also cant guarentee overclocking on a 3700x

cursive wharf
#

Lol no. 3950x takes 145w max

compact hill
#

You would run a 3950x in a b450?

#

On a*

cursive wharf
#

You need to LN2 OC for the extra 4 pin to make sense

compact hill
#

Ln2?

cursive wharf
#

Liquid nitrogen

compact hill
#

Lol

#

Hmm I think your right

#

What's the point of the extra 4pin?

cursive wharf
#

Marketing

compact hill
#

That's my bad btw, I should understand what im arguing on before I do

cursive wharf
#

"OC more with the extra stability of the total of 12 pins to the CPU" or whatever

#

Which is technically true. But again, that'd be like LN2 stuff

compact hill
#

I mean maybe future cpus

#

If they still use am4 socket that is

cursive wharf
#

I don't think 4000 series will have a 64c CPU

#

5000 is most likely AM5

compact hill
#

True

still rly cheap

^^

#

dats a big steal

hopefully its running in good conidtion

should be

#

Like 40%off

eager chasm
#

Never cheap out on the PSU, that's rule number 1 in PC building

woven crypt
#

The fact that "hopefully" is in that sentence would make me hesitant to purchase

edgy cape
#

so i shouldnt get?

woven crypt
#

I would spend the extra money to purchase one fresh off the belt

edgy cape
#

any recomended company like corsair or seasonic?

#

or dont amtter

#

eager chasm

If you cheap out on the PSU that has the potential to kill everything else and be extremely expensive

CORSAIR RMx Series, RM750x, 750 Watt, Fully Modular Power Supply, 80+ Gold (Renewed)

#

A few days after finishing my PC build, it would unexpectedly power off anywhere between 10 seconds and 30 minutes of powering on, sometimes not even making it past the motherboard splash screen. I purchased another PSU of the same model locally (that wasn't refurbished) and have not had any issues since then, which has been several weeks.

#

lmao yeah thanks fore the headsup

little leaf
#

You want one with good warenty

eager chasm
#

Use the PSU tier list in the pinned messages to help pick out a good one

edgy cape
#

warenty expensive

#

bet

eager chasm
#

Warranty is free with purchase of a new unit

midnight pelican
#

i mean

eager chasm
#

Every new part has a manufacturer warranty

midnight pelican
#

the 80+ platinum was not such a bad deal

eager chasm
#

The manufacturer warranty on PSUs is usually 3 years

#

Don't be fooled into buying an additional warranty for extra

edgy cape
#

damn bro

#

there all out of stock

#

zzzzzzzzzz

midnight pelican
#

wait till quarrentine over

eager chasm
#

Again PSU shortage cause of the pandemic. You got to look harder and be willing to pay above MSRP

edgy cape
#

btw when i get it what modular should i get

little leaf
#

Had to pay 20 bucks extra to build my new pc

#

For a psu

#

But worth it

eager chasm
#

That PSU is too tier

#

Will last a very long time, and if it's a dud the warranty will replace it

woven crypt
#

I'd say so. I got an 850W just as an added buffer, but 750W is already a solid buffer

#

Keep in mind we have essentially the same graphics card ^

I don't have a 2080 but I have a similar card in the same general range, my 750 gold unit work perfect, that unit is muuuch better than mine

edgy cape

but my spu is gnna explode with it

Then we WILL have essentially the same graphics card

so this is a no go Seasonic Focus PX-750, 750W 80+ Platinum Full-Modular, Fan Control in Fanless, Silent, and Cooling Mode, 10 Year Warranty, Perfect Power Supply for Gaming and Various Application, SSR-750PX.

eager chasm

That is a beautiful unit

That warranty is also god tier

i love you

my power supply i have now is like all in one area the outputs

that shouldnt matter right

In terms of all of the ports being in one general area?

That's normal

@woven crypt my bad if u hate getting @ i just ned 2 connect it 2 hardrive gpu cpu dats it right?

woven crypt

I got that card when it was on somewhat of a sale ^

woven crypt

Are you asking about what you need to connect the power supply to?

edgy cape
#

oh no just wanted 2 know

#

if this is good

woven crypt
#

In general, yes, but let me check something

woven crypt
#

Your potential GPU does have HDMI 2.0, so that's good

edgy cape
#

u think dat ones good ryoku cuz the other one is

#

out of stock

eager chasm

?

woven crypt
#

That PSU is Bronze. I'd go with Gold at a minimum

edgy cape

bet

#

guess i should just order and wait

eager chasm
#

That out of stock seasonic is going to be in stock in 10 days

woven crypt

I had to wait ten days for my thermal compound lol

i was talking 2 other people abotu water cooling

#

is it really not helpful at all

#

and just for aesthetic

little leaf
#

Depends

woven crypt
#

I actually purchased a water cooler, but even the slim possibility of a leak made me keep it in its packaging

#

It's generally more effective than air cooling, but definitely adds to the price

#

@edgy cape What processor are you getting, if you're getting one?

edgy cape
#

ima keep the same pros

woven crypt
#

Which processor would that be

edgy cape
#

@woven crypt

#

this is good right?

little leaf
#

Ish

woven crypt
#

You can Ctrl/Cmd + F and search for yours. This ranks a ton of CPUs

little leaf
#

Thats the k

#

Not the base

woven crypt
#

You have just the 8700 3.2GHz

edgy cape
#

ye

little leaf
#

The 3600 would performe the same as that

#

And its cheaper

edgy cape
#

tere all right here

#

but using a 2080 super should be fine right

little leaf
#

Should be

#

Probably

woven crypt
#

Assuming your motherboard is compatible

#

@edgy cape Use that pcpartpicker.com site, and add all of your current/potential computer parts in there. If there are no notes concerning compatibility, then you're all set

edgy cape
#

ohh

#

Prebuilt boards are werid though

edgy cape

i should put my current right?

@woven crypt

woven crypt

If you plan on keeping it

Can I send a pic of my MB on here to get someone opinion? I think I know the answer but I'm in denial.

Can I dm you?

Slow in what manner

edgy cape

like it pasues

edgy cape
#

@subtle halo so i should be fine i dont need to upgrade my processor or anything

#

just a 750 watts and im set?

#

for a rtx 2080 super

cursive wharf
#

550w is plenty for that system. I'd go max of 650w. Spending it on more wattage rather then quality is a bad trap to get into.

subtle halo
#

just make sure you replace that 500w ibuypower psu of yours..

edgy cape
#

Yessir

#

Am I gonna have to worry if it will fit in my case or not or to small?

subtle halo
#

you can check your case dimensions

#

psu part

edgy cape
#

Dimension: 5.5" x 6.0" x 3.3" (D) x (W) x (H) Cooling 120mm ultra-silent fan.

#

The one I’m finna order is Package dimensions (length x width x height): 12.283 inches x 7.402 inches x 4.567 inches

#

Hm

eager chasm
#

He was looking at a top quality 750W 80+ plat seasonic

#

Earlier

#

You could look for a much cheaper 550-650W 80+ gold but that seasonic with the 10 year warranty is about as good as it gets for quality if you don't mind paying the premium price tag

#

It's in the A tier on the tier list

#

I assure you, you wouldn't be sacrificing quality for watts with it

#

It's also good for most possible upgrades later on if you choose to upgrade even more later

tepid basalt
#

So

#

What is the recommended psu number on vga pages based on?

#

Like rx 5700 for 600w

#

2060s for 550w

lyric thistle
#

include the CPU in that

tepid basalt
#

Ic

woven crypt
#

Hi

eager chasm
#

Depends on how the parts you use and how many

#

But mostly the CPU and GPU

#

Things like Drives, Lights, fans, ram, and other accessories count towards the total peak power draw, but not nearly as much.

lyric thistle
#

mainboard too ^^

eager chasm
#

If you are running an insane setup with like 20 drives in raid then yea that's gonna take up a lot more wattage and you need to account for it, but that's not the usual for consumer

paper magnet
#

I was wondering if someone here could help me with a first time build. Been trying for two days and the system will not boot on. Theres a cord i couldnt find a home for and idk if thats the reason why. Its a cable with both male and female on the same end coming out of the case itself

lyric thistle
#

what do the cable connectors look like?

#

DM me some pictures if you can, I'll post them here

#

or if Box levels you up with Mee6 you can post them directly

#

I'm not sure what the little one is, but the other is MOLEX

queen fjord
#

That looks like an rgb power cord

#

I have two that look like that, that went to rgb lights

paper magnet
#

i couldnt find a home for it on the motherboard

lyric thistle
#

The smaller one was labeled gigabyte and i couldn't get it plugged in either but i know it deals with the argb on my fans

paper magnet
#

those are the only two cords i couldnt plug in, but on my manual for the case it showed the smaller gigabyte being left not plugged in

queen fjord
#

You got power to the board, yes?

paper magnet
#

everything is plugged in so i guess? just nothing turns on

queen fjord
#

With the power switch on the PSU turned on, do you have any lights on the motherboard?

paper magnet
#

im honestly just frustrated and dont want to fool with the thing anymore

#

no lights, fans or anything

queen fjord
#

Trust me, I know the feeling. I spent two days fiddling with my build just to find out I have a faulty hdd

#

Alright then you dont have power to the board. Check to make sure your main power from the psu to the board is in all the way and just for goggles, make sure the power switch on the psu is in the "on" position. Lol I've actually done that before

sudden turret
#

do you have the PSU switched turned on in the back>?

#

sorry I just skim read

queen fjord
#

Giggles not goggles 🤦‍♂️

lyric thistle
#

the I
. O

confuses me sometimes

#

I forget which one is on, which is off

sudden turret
#

just remember O is (O)ff

lyric thistle
#

I'm no binary knowledge person 😔

queen fjord
#

Yes, I represents an "open" circuit (has power) O represents "closed" circuit (no power)

paper magnet
#

i tried the switch in both positions just for giggles trust me

sudden turret
#

so lets talk about your front panel connectors

#

the real tiny ones

paper magnet
#

yea, i only have two of them? most people seem to have 4?

sudden turret
paper magnet
#

i have a power SW and a H.D.D LED

sudden turret
#

what mootherboard?

queen fjord
#

You don't have a reset button on your case?

sudden turret
#

lots don't, I don't have one either 😄

paper magnet
#

that board

queen fjord
#

Oh! Lol yanno, now that I think of it. I dont either 😂

paper magnet
#

if it wasnt for the virus goin about i'd take the thing to a shop for in person help

sudden turret
#

gimem a min

paper magnet
#

cant believe i got talked into a build..

lyric thistle
#

you can send pics now ^^

#

oh and links

queen fjord
#

Lol building your own pc has its pros and cons. Prosnbeing that its cheaper and fun for hobbyists, but cons being it's a lot more frustrating and problematic

sudden turret
#

You have it connected this way?

#

With the print on the wires faced down.

#

if you can send a clear picture of you desk top, directly in front, so we can see everything inside would help too.

#

make sure these two are both in snug and flush (you don't need to plug in the 4pin cpu_pwr2)

#

the 4pin is for added power for people who like to overclock.

paper magnet
#

gimme a second my cable management is um garbage

sudden turret
#

that could be a reason why it wont turn on 🙂

lyric thistle
#

oh CPU_PWR2, I was confused for a sec

paper magnet
#

And i gotta take a kitty off my lap

sudden turret
#

yeah in the manual, it shows to plug in both for some reason

#

It could have atleast said (optional)

lyric thistle
#

oh interesting, it's a separate plug on the board

sudden turret
#

they are right next to eachother

paper magnet
#

I plugged both in

#

The cpus

lyric thistle
#

wait so is it like

#

the +4 part of a 4+4?

sudden turret
#

yeah

lyric thistle
#

ah ok

I flipped them down

#

Okay it turned on.. lights and all but the front fans arent spinning

#

Im happy i got the lights though

sudden turret
#

progress 🙂

paper magnet
#

Too fans lights arent on either

#

So front fan no go but lights

sudden turret
#

dont worry about the lights/case fans right now

paper magnet
#

Top fan is a go but no lights

sudden turret
#

that's not a concern right now 🙂

paper magnet
#

Okay

sudden turret
#

cpu fan spins up?

paper magnet
#

Yes

sudden turret
#

ok good

paper magnet
#

But slowly

sudden turret
#

well yeah it's a first boot

#

signal to monior?

#

monitor*

paper magnet
#

Uh i dont have this connected to a monitor F me hold on

sudden turret
#

lolol

#

it's ok 😄

paper magnet
#

Should i turn it off?

sudden turret
#

nah

#

make sure you plug the monitor plug into the graphics card port

#

not the motherboard port.

paper magnet
#

I have this thing on a work table not my computer desk gimme a moment

sudden turret
#

if all is good we should be seeing BIOS ui when you plug in monitor

paper magnet
#

No signal on monitor

sudden turret
#

ok lets power down using the switch on the back of psu

paper magnet
#

The flippy one corrrec? Dont laugh at my simpleton lingo

sudden turret
#

yes the flippy one

#

😄

#

no one is laughing at you.

#

maybe laughing -with- you.

paper magnet
#

Thats fine cause ive had a terrible night and need a good laugh for the day

#

Btw is it safe to plug in my keyboard

sudden turret
#

and don't start thinking you have broken parts, all is fine. we just need to fix it up a little bit

#

yeah plug in keyboard and mouse.

#

How do you have your hard drives, ssds and all that installed

cursive wharf
#

The video port is plugged into the video card or mobo?

sudden turret
#

oh good question Hei

#

I'm still on my first cup of coffee

#

does the GPU have it's power connected aswell?

paper magnet
#

My hard drive and ssd

sudden turret
#

perfect 🙂

paper magnet
#

Also my psu is outside the case until i know everythink works.. i planned on popping it in after

sudden turret
#

oh ...

#

lets go ahead and take care of that

cursive wharf
#

Questionable. I would advised keep as much unplugged until things start to work

sudden turret
#

give us a big picture, of the entire motherboard. (we won't laugh at your wiring)

cursive wharf
#

Including Storage

#

Being unplugged

sullen spoke
#

#

The front is fine the back is garbo

sullen spoke
#

sudden turret
#

usually the case in most builds 🙂

#

business in the front, hot garbo party in the back

paper magnet
#

Should i pop the supply in first?

cursive wharf
#

Not really needed

#

Tho what is the exact PSU model?

paper magnet
#

I was told by my bf to get that high a wattage.. ive had a few agree and a few disagree with him

cursive wharf
#

I would def disagree

paper magnet
#

Yea but please no more lectures for me on wattage unless it'll harm the system

sudden turret
#

lets just focus on getting it booted up 🙂

lyric thistle
#

it shouldn't if it's a good PSU :p

cursive wharf
#

PSU quality is meh and instead of focusing on wattage you could get better quality for the price. However, quality is still good enough to not cause issues

#

Actually wait, when did you purchase the G+?

sudden turret
#

we went from having no power, to having power and some fans spin

paper magnet
#

You wanted a full motherboard shot?

sudden turret
#

yes

cursive wharf
#

Now that I think about it old 1000w G+ has issues iirc

paper magnet
cursive wharf
#

Should be a seperate issue from this tho

sudden turret
#

cool so gpu has power.

#

what ram is that?

#

I know its corsair

#

but like 4x4x4x4

paper magnet
#

32 gigs

cursive wharf
#

Nvm, that was 2019 G5 1000w with issues

sudden turret
#

ok cool

cursive wharf
#

What CPU?

paper magnet
#

Intel i7

sudden turret
#

what gen 🙂

paper magnet
#

9th geb

sudden turret
#

ok sweet

cursive wharf
#

Specific model tho? 9700, 9700K, 9700KF?

paper magnet
queen fjord
#

How many PCI-e slots that board got? You could try plugging your graphics card into a different one for sh**s and giggles and see if you have a different result

cursive wharf
#

Alright. So to go the more easier route in debugging you should eliminate variables

sudden turret
#

alright so lets go ahead and hit the flippy switch, and the power button on the front and see what happens

#

now that we have a monitor plugged in

cursive wharf
#

Only use one stick of RAM, remove all SSD/storage, unplug GPU completely, and plug video cable into mobo
This way only a few things are being tested rather then a whole wad of parts

paper magnet
#

Its getting signal now

sudden turret
#

🙂

paper magnet
#

From here im clueless though

sudden turret
#

no worries

#

progress 🙂

#

show us what you see

#

Now install Windows

#

Basically

paper magnet
#

And my cats being the freakin devil

You need to install windows onto your storage device now

paper magnet
#

Lemme grab the usb

#

Ok so its inserted, just press a key right?

sudden turret
#

reboot

#

press f12 or f11

#

during start up

#

I think

cursive wharf
#

Or del

sudden turret
#

you should see a text that says "boot options"

#

during startup

queen fjord
#

Yea its f11 for me

sudden turret
#

"press so and so"

#

from there a screen will pop up, youll pick the usb device

paper magnet
#

So turn off, back on then hit delete

queen fjord
#

Ot delete

#

Not*

sudden turret
#

well see what the text says

#

itll be quick 😛

cursive wharf
#

Maybe. Depends on the mobo

paper magnet
#

F11

queen fjord
#

F11 or f11 del usually takes you to bios

#

F11 or f12*

cursive wharf
#

Not a "usually"
Just depends on board

sudden turret
#

yeah

paper magnet
#

Usb isn't showing

#

Just sata

sudden turret
#

where do you have it plugged in

#

use the back motherboard usb

paper magnet
#

Front 3.0 port

cursive wharf
#

Is it plugged into the mobo?

#

The case usb ports?

sudden turret
#

but before we get any further

#

I'd go ahead and button everything else up

#

install the psu

#

we still have those fans to get spinning

#

🙂

#

we now know you have a working system.

paper magnet
#

Okay i swapped it over, reboot again?

sudden turret
#

so nothing is broke like you thought 🙂

#

but yeah if you want to reboot

#

go for it

paper magnet
