Hey guys, I'm having an issue with my build and it's currently open in front of me. I have an H210i case with NZXT smart device which is taking the only USB header on my mobo. I want to control the wraith prism cooler rgb, but from what I read, it requires an rgb connection, and a USB connection.
The LED strip that came with the case has a terminal for RGB. Is it safe to connect my CPU cooler rgb cable to this?
I am hoping this will allow me to control the wraith rgb with NZXT cam without having to use the USB header of the cooler.
To put my question more simply, can I connect the with prism cooler in series with an RGB led strip that's being controlled by NZXT CAM?
potent prairie
If they appear to be the same connecter, they probably have the same pinout and it'll work
Most likely the worst that could happen is it will not work
slender cliff
Didn't seem to work. It did say that another program was trying to interfere
slender cliff
I think it might be because the wraith is not an addressible rgb and requires USB for dinner control.

Thanks, @potent prairie . I saw that but was hoping to control the cooler without connecting to my motherboard via USB. I settled for basic control via the rgb header.

Is there a way i can get a good streaming and gaming build for around $1200 usd (1080p) playing r6?
sacred obsidian
copied from what i said in general chat
honored you can make a build on PCPP and just make sure to get an nvidia gpu for streaming, make sure you get a good psu by referencing the LTT psu tier list, and trying for a r5 3600 or maybe 3300x if you can find one. tht budget should get you what you want but parts are inflated and sold out a lot right now
nvidia gpu will allow you to use the NVENC encoder for streaming without taking a big performance hit so for streaming go for that. Depending on what you can find within budget id go with a 2070 or 2070s.
If you can wait though, id wait til prices and stock go back to normal

Hello I’m putting the master liquid ml240r rgb on my pc and I was watching gear seekers video on this product. Anyways, I see that he connects a cable to a port called CPU option and then CPU fan later on in the video. However, I don’t have CPU option as a part on my board; only CPU fan and this other port called Pump fan. Can the pump fan port replace the CPU option port that gear seekers uses in their video?

With only a 600 dollar budget, I dunno what I'll do
sand falcon
600 is doable. I don't trust this PSU
little osprey
I'd punt that thing
spiral zealot
you can definitely do a full build for $600, it won't be top tier in terms of performance, but it'll get the job done
spiral zealot
there's a newer version of that CPU that's made on 12nm tech instead of 14nm, and it should be around the $75-80 mark, but i couldn't find anyone that had it in stock, so i went with the original version instead

interesting case but I'm too lazy to make a list rn
cunning crow
is there a major difference using m.2 970 evo compared to a regular ssd, loading times? also does anybody know if the 9900k runs really hot? lol.
cunning crow
yeah, sata
stoic island
970evo is expensive for no reason most of the time
its like 180$ for 1tb when comparable SSDs are 130$ for 1tb
spiral zealot
from a purely theoretical sense, yes the nvme drive will be faster, but from a real-world experience sense, you probably won't notice the difference
viral ore
stoic island
Game loading times it's going to be only a little faster
viral ore
this is the best i could do
spiral zealot
LTT did a video about loading times and almost everyone who tried out different systems, i think maybe ONE person actually picked the nvme system and said it felt fastest
stoic island
that's LTT though
other people did testing with different results
I felt a difference from a sata ssd to my NVMe one in loading times
spiral zealot
this was just how the system felt when you were using it hands on
stoic island
especially GTA with long loading times
near garden
Can someone make me a list for 800$
spiral zealot
and it's a small sample size, sure
spiral zealot
but the differences aren't gonna be massive either way
stoic island
benchmarking it, it's usually about 1 second or so
spiral zealot
even if i saved 10 seconds on a loading screen, if it's a 3 minute loading screen, 10 seconds doesn't mean jack
cunning crow
ah. i got the SAMSUNG 970 EVO M.2 2280 500GB coming in hopefully it works out. i hope the 9900k doesnt run extremely hot, i bought the CORSAIR iCUE H115i RGB PRO XT hope that works for it
stoic island
but when sata 1tb SSDs are about 110$, NVMe 1tb SSDs are about 130$, I'd get NVMe for the 10 seconds every day
thats an hour a year :P
spiral zealot
time is meaningless these days anyway
stoic island
eh, the more you have the more you can do
just up to you what you want to do with it
cunning crow
is the rtx 2070 super practically a gtx 1080?
stoic island
no
cursive wharf
consoles are pushing for NVMe, so expect NVMe to become more useful in a few years for game loading times
stoic island
2070s is similar to 1080ti

I'm centering mine around two companies, and a specific motherboard. hehe
viral ore
oh yeah, forgot mouse n keeb
sand falcon
Does that mobo have enough pcie lanes?
viral ore
why wouldnt it
sand falcon
Some itx motherboards will only have 16 lanes
viral ore
?
sand falcon
Also, only 8+2 power... might be tight for a 10900k
viral ore
lanes are CPU and chipset based
little osprey
Just discovered why I went with the CL18. it was the only DDR4-3600..
viral ore
10900k has 16 lanes for the gpu, the ssd gets 4 lanes from the chipset
sand falcon
Not all motherboards will fully implement them. My boss has a mITX and it doesn't have enough lanes for both a full GPU and NVMe, so he has to lose bandwidth somewhere
viral ore
its an x16 lane slot, and a x4 lane M.2
those traces go SOMEWHERE
i would think they go to the chipset and cpu
z490 has 24 available lanes, its not hard to route traces
also a 2080ti can run on 3.0 x8
so thats not really even an issue
sand falcon
16 to GPU, and 8 to nvme. It might all be on discrete lanes, but who knows. PCIe lines are finicky.
viral ore
4 to nvme
sand falcon
2 slots
little osprey
there's also sata implementation for m.2
viral ore
i guarentee that the 2x4 and 1x16 are all ready to go
sand falcon
The lanes are still being run, also x8 has a big performance hit.
viral ore
otherwise they wouldnt sell the board that way
sand falcon
There's at least one manufacturer that shares lanes between GPU and m2 on this form factor.
sand falcon
Bigger than that
sand falcon
Yup. Tested it in real world. In "hungry" games, it cripples a 2080ti to almost 1060 levels on low frames
sand falcon
My boss, coworker and me. We were trying to figure out why his 2080 was so crap. Turned out it was on x8, switched it to x16 and worked perfectly.
viral ore
these benchmarks say otherwise
deep skiff
u sure it wasnt the 1 and .1% lows that were bad?
sand falcon
I'm going to trust what I saw with my own eyes in real life. It ran fine for a most part, but frames would randomly tank
Normally, it was more or less okay, but the lows were horrible
Which given that the 1 and .1% lows are why you choose intel over amd......
I'm looking if they say anything about lows
viral ore
ok, geez, i looked up the board in question, it runs x16
ALWAYS
done
unless you, the user bifurcate it yourself
which is an option
deep skiff
bifurcation kinda wack

I usually just avoid mITX on high spec builds. It gets wacky fast

Have a friend that psu cuts out many times a day while gaming on 2080s with 3700x on a corsair rm650x, I told him sounded like low power as it is for that build but could just be a rail overload or a complete dud, anyone have any ideas? He plans to get another but I told him he should possibly get a little higher power
New build as well probably week or two,
little osprey
Could be, but if it is it's not overall power.
modern dew
Cool cool he’s replacing anyways but most likely case being it’s just a dud psu? This is one area I’m not the sharpest so was looking for an explanation
modern dew
Completely drops power turns off, I believe only when under load like games
modern dew
Well I asked if he’s been monitoring stuff like temps and loads right before cut offs but he hasn’t answered back yet, he’s somehow fully wrapped his head into it being psu
Just don’t want him getting another and it being same thing
deep skiff
does it give you a message why it cuts out?
modern dew
Not positive from what he said was a day ago that he was wondering what’s going on keep completely turning off mid games, then he said today he’s been spending all day testing stuff out and is convinced it was psu
This is basically everything from yesterday what gave for details,
“Ok idk why my monitor and keyboard keep randomly shutting off completely, and the whole pc fully restarting randomly, especially under heavy load even though cool temps getting a replacement this is annoying keeps doing it mid games”
“ I suspect it’s my psu I’m ordering a replacement this is annoying, my cousin had a similar issue when his house ac would turn on so I wonder if it’s that” then today said was testing it
little osprey
modern dew
I’m at a loss lol this is one thing I’m not good with is power/electrical 😂
I said try a different surge strip he said he did and just using wall plug directly too
little osprey
I'm trying to sort out the A/C thing even being related unless they've got a circuit breaker going, but that would take out more than just the computer
modern dew
That’s what I thought and we said exactly that me and another friend lol but electric is something I’ve been bad at for years
I stick to CNC, I get lost in circuit and electrical stuff 😂
little osprey
And they'd have to go flip a breaker to get power back, so that would be pretty obvious
modern dew
Yep exsctly
In the end it’s not my Pc so it’s all good if he can figure it out in the end with a new psu, just wanted to help diagnose if it was actually the psu

Hi, my little brothers birthday is coming up and i really want to build him a new gaming pc, however, i have little to no experience assembling a pc, (except for the mother board) although, i have seen many videos on how to build a pc. I do have about a 1000-1300 dollar budget to build him one, (including a monitor and keyboard). If anyone knows any parts that will stay in bounds of budget at the same time giving him a gaming experience that wont be somewhat "obsolete" by the end of 2020, pls dm or let me know.

Got myself an rm650
Pcpp says i only need 406w for my rig so 650 is good enough for me
little osprey
I'm trying to legitimize a reason to replace the 850 Hale90 that I have.
silk estuary
Hopefully thermaltake customer service gives me a full refund for their stupid ass defective product
little osprey
Let me know if they don't. Never dealt with them, curious how they take care of it.
silk estuary
Will do
little osprey
How old was the TT when it blew?
little osprey
Might still be worth checking with Newegg, especially if you have issues with TT.
silk estuary
I didnt start using it until around the 12th cuz that's when I had the parts.
I left a review saying it blew, I'll see what happens.
shrewd tundra
Is a zotac 2060 super or a galax 2060 super better
little osprey
I'd recommend a Gigabyte 2060S at least.

Thanks to @autumn wolf for helping me with my build
And some help with @cursive wharf
tidal vault
after my first entry build I got an itch to build more but no $$ for it or use but really want to
inland atlas
@tidal vault build a budget pc that you can sell off
tidal vault
been curious of that after watching KristoferYee getting used parts but sadly don't have much time in the week since work just recently started again for me
glass bridge
what cpu matches best with a 1070 founders?
glass bridge
what about an intel counterpart
inland atlas
Anyone of those depending on your budget
glass bridge
i have an i3 8350k rn
little osprey
i got a gtx 1650 super what would be a good upgrade?
inland atlas
@glass bridge i5 8400
glass bridge
what about an i5 9600k
inland atlas
That could work
inland atlas
Depends on your price
glass bridge
yea at least under 350
inland atlas
It all depends on price
@little osprey a upgrade would be 2060 or 2060 super
Depends on budget
glass bridge
^ 2060 super for sure
little osprey
like 300 dollars
glass bridge
or KO
little osprey
alright lemme checkthem out
is the ZOTAC Gaming GeForce RTX 2060 a good gpu
well i just copied that from amozon
is it better to buy from ebay
?
little osprey
im kinda a fan boy of zotac
cold sorrel
I'm still debating what I should pick as the GPU for my new build. I keep bouncing back and forth between "Be cheap, get a 1660 Super" or "I really want a 2060 Super"
arctic jungle
lmao, depends on what ur doing
check the benchmarks of whatever it is you do the most, and get the one that's better for your needs
@cold sorrel

hey guys i need some help with some upgrade purchases for my current build. I currently have a pc with 16 GB RAM, Prime a320m-k motherboard, ryzen 5 2400G CPU and no GPU. I want to know what GPU i can get with for my current MB and id like to know what Ryzen 7 is best for my build as well. I currently strem on twithc and upload to youtube but my workflow is a bit slow, if anyone can help please do. Thank you!
cunning crow
Hey guys. I have the NZXT H710i and it has a USB Type C connector that I cannot find anywhere in my motherboard manual. I'm using the Asus Maximus XI Hero (WIFI) mobo. Does anyone know where I can connect this? I can't find it in the manual
cursive wharf
USB Type C headers dont exist
USB 3.1 headers do tho
which USB C tends to be on front case panels
cunning crow
Gotcha. I thought it would go under USB 3.1 but wasn't 100% for sure. Thank you
cursive wharf
if it isnt on the board could maybe get an PCIe add in card
potent prairie
This is where you would connect the other end of an usb C port
Provided it's an internal header that you are looking for.
cunning crow
thank you guys!
potent prairie
Oh, sorry, I tagged the wrong person lol
sudden turret
noob
potent prairie
🙃
red bridge
@arctic jungle definitely doing regular IRL livestreams and podcasts also gaming for the future
and better workflow for video editing and rendering
sour kayak
on the topic of USB-C ports, I have a type C port on my case but dont have a port on my motherboard, is there any way I can get an adapter or something?
analog hearth
woah, didn't know USB-C could have it's own header
red bridge
I just want to upgrade my current build, Im going to stream from my console and budget $700
@arctic jungle
arctic jungle
but what fps/res and what games
analog hearth
you really just need a capture card and a moderate CPU to handle the input and output of the console to the stream
but capture cards are mega pricy
sour kayak
Well, there are USB 3.1 gen 1 to 3.2 gen 2 adapters. But I would need another 3.1 gen 1 port.
I hate USB sometimes
why is 3.2 gen 2 not just USB 4? That would be waaaay easier to understand.
little osprey
When is the last time they made it easy?
analog hearth
there's probably some algorithm they use to determine whether it should be the next subversion or the next full version. like, Apple will go from 13.4 to 13.4.1 if it's just bug fixes or a security patch or something. but they'll turn the update into 13.5 if the update involves changing the SDK of iOS somehow
sour kayak
Yeah, probobly
analog hearth
and I think Apple just does the next full version (i.e. 13.5.1 to 14) only if it's specifically for when the next iPhone releases
severe bloom
What’s a good pcie card to add another usb 3.1 header? My mb only has 1 and my case has 2
analog hearth
I would just get USB to PCIe card
sour kayak
But like, the speeds are 4 times faster and the connector is significantly different. You would think that would count as a major revision.
most 2-port cases can just use one header @severe bloom
analog hearth
oh, just use the header for the case USBs
severe bloom
I have a 1000D and it has enough ports to need both cables
analog hearth
but if you need more USBs, just get a USB to PCIe card
oh what the heck
a USB splitter(?)
cursive wharf
3.1 doesnt do splitter format like 3.0 afaik
sour kayak
maybe there is a pcie to internal usb 3 adapter?
analog hearth
ah, didn't know that. thanks Hei :)
sour kayak
If you need a 3.0 header, then you could probobly get an expansion card with an internal USB 3 port on it
severe bloom
It’s actually a 3.2 cable and header I need an extra of. Msi creator trx40
thorny bronze
sour kayak
you could use this https://www.amazon.com/PCI-Ports-Header-Express-Dual/dp/B07GSQR6D4/ref=sr_1_5?dchild=1&keywords=internal+usb+3.2+pcie&qid=1591633854&sr=8-5, and this https://www.amazon.com/LINKUP-Internal-Motherboard-Converter-Adapter/dp/B07WG8ZJ41/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=internal+usb+3.2+pcie&qid=1591633892&sr=8-3
you could just use an adapter to convert a 3.0 to a 3.2 port
The speeds probobly wouldn't be the same, but at least you wont have dead ports
steady rune
Can someone tell me if ASRock H470M-ITX/ac is compatible with 10th gen intel CPUs
severe bloom
I have both 3.0 cables for the case connected but have two 3.2 cables and only 1 3.2 header. I tried to link the manual for the MSI Creator TRX40 but won’t let me.
sour kayak
https://www.amazon.com/LINKUP-Internal-Motherboard-Converter-Adapter/dp/B07WG8ZJ41/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=internal+usb+3.2+pcie&qid=1591633892&sr=8-3 use this adaptor @severe bloom it converts one 3.0 port to a 3.2 port
@steady rune that board will work
steady rune
@sour kayak ok nice, thank you
quasi girder
Excuse me aren’t you supposed to use thermal paste even though it comes with pre-applied thermal paste or no?
sour kayak
pre-applied thermal paste isn't the greatest but its probobly fine
quasi girder
K thx cause I thought i am supposed to use it cause it dries out or something
sour kayak
what cooler is it, and what are you cooling?
quasi girder
Idk someone in the discord chat is making his pc rn so he was wondering if he needs to use it or not so I hopped in here and asked
formal quail
I need some help. I've been looking into buying new PC parts for a while now, and I'm due for an upgrade since I'm running a i7-4790k with an abundance of thermal problems in a mini-itx case (100*C and higher). I'm looking to increase my productivity for animation and other 3D rendering programs, specifically in blender & Cinema 4D. Currently I'm looking into getting these parts, any suggestions? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/qDhhwh
severe bloom
I would just get 2x 1tb 970 evos and not the 500gb. Would also not get a 3.5” drive and get a 2x2tb SATA ssd can find some pretty decent ones about the same price each so build cost will go up slightly but will ensure better performance than that 5400 rpm drive. I assume your storing a lot of your assets there which would load very slow.
deep skiff
i mean you could also get a good 2tb nvme for around the same price or cheaper, samsung makes expensive drives that arent worth the extra price a lot of times
stoic island
Yea
@formal quail what's the budget? I'll make a list in a bit
Also, no GPU in the list? What parts can you reuse?
little osprey
Do you need an os
formal quail
@stoic island my budget is around $2,500. I'm waiting for the next generation of GPUs to come out to purchase a new GPU.
I'm already going to be loading Windows 10, since I still have a product key and the disc in hand.
I currently have an RX-580, But again I'm waiting for next generation graphics cards (hopefully in fall)
open gazelle
Hello! What're some good PSUs for a TUF X570 motherboard, a 1660 Super and a 3600 Ryzen?
formal quail
Budget? @open gazelle
granite delta
@open gazelle corsair txm 550 watt 80+ gold rated
severe bloom
I like the hxi psus
stoic island
thats really expensive tho
severe bloom
But platinum so it gets all the juice
stoic island
HXi is like 1200w
granite delta
I don't think he'll need platinum
stoic island
AXi HXi RMi are all the corsair multirail crazy PSUs
you don't need em until you do HEDT+multi gpu
severe bloom
Doesn’t need but also should think about future upgrades. Hxi starts at 750w.
Any idea when gskill will finally release those cl16 HEDT high capacity kits? My 3970x is hungry for a fast full load of memory
open gazelle
@granite delta @formal quail 1000. This is the build SO FAR. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/r6cWvW
formal quail
^ Agreed
hollow grove
i would cut stuff down and get a 5700 xt
wheat stratus
Same
granite delta
is the Cooler Master MWE Gold 650 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply good?
wheat stratus
My friend said the the 5700xt is practically the same as the 2060super
granite delta
why is it so cheap?
toxic fiber
open gazelle
They already bought a 1660 Super, they've had this GPU for a while so.
gray river
hot damn
stoic island
1660 super is better than 1660ti in value most of the time
@open gazelle get 3600cl16 ram not cl18
also might as well get 2tb HDD for like 5$ more
and get a mp34 512gb NVMe SSD for 5$ more
MWE Gold is out of stock
celest horizon
No love for 3600 cl14?
<elitist/>
celest horizon
Yes?
To clarify, I'm kidding here - 3600 cl(anything) is fine for whatever budget build
little leaf
@wheat stratus A 5700xt peforms like a 2070 but doesn't have nvce
open gazelle
@stoic island Changed both, all I need is a PSU.
Wow there are NO PSUs available
Holy
severe bloom
Yeah I ordered one over a week ago direct from Corsair and still hasn’t shipped to me.
inland atlas
How long does it take to ship from corsair
cloud drum
tracking order?
inland atlas
Still haven't got one
severe bloom
When I ordered my case direct from them it took 3 days before I got a tracking # and then a week for it to arrive.
The local microcenter has some 550w and 650w but I need a 1200w so had to order it
Newegg had nothing 😦
wheat stratus
what would you recommend for a 650 dollar build
buoyant flame
Lemme make a list real quick
wheat stratus

wheat stratus
thank you

it was bad advice anyway

whats the BEST gaming laptop
sand falcon
What about the one with the whole blooming 3950x in it? It out performs most desktops
waxen cape
yep thats out of budget
mental blaze
Hi
, doing a threadripper build but I dont have enough money for a 2080 ti yet, what would a good placeholder gpu be? I was looking into a rx 570 OC for a few months until I can afford a 2080 ti
sand falcon
@mental blaze What threadripper?
mental blaze
a 3960x
sand falcon
What use case?
sour kayak
isnt it great how the ryzen 9s have more cores then some of the first and second gen threadrippers
sand falcon
Yup
That's what chiplets do for you. Ya want more cores? Sure, we'll just glue on another chunk of tamed sand
mental blaze
i am using the lian li o11d
basically here is what my plan is
im doing an air cooler for my tr currently
and then im gonna go custom hardline loop once i save enough for the gpu
i just need a gpu to placehold till i get some more cash
severe bloom
I have a 3970x build on water. If your waiting for the 3080/3000 series then don't get an RTX card yet. When you go water get the Optimus TR block, well worth the $ over Heatkiller.
A 1660Ti is priced right and will be a good placeholder
little osprey
@buoyant flame its great keeps my GPU far away from the glass panel that temps aren't effected much
buoyant flame
Build quality of it?
little osprey
For a 30 dollar mount its pretty good, no complaints so far.
Didn't have a problem with sagging
severe bloom
What mount is it?
little osprey
Phanteks vertical gpu mount
severe bloom
Ah nice, I tried the cablemod one in my wifes build, it sagged 😦
little osprey
Yea i watched reviews in the CableMod one didn't hear good things. I was gonna go with cooler master one since alot of my build is from cooler master but they wanted like 60 bucks for theirs and I wasn't paying 60 bones for a cosmetic accessory lol
This Phanteks one working great so far been like 3 days but no issues
severe bloom
Yeah we tried it in a Corsair Crystal Series 600D and it just didn't fit right so it would wobble and had the droop with a card on it
little osprey
Oof yea that sucks 😕
severe bloom
The cable also is not flexible at all so had to kind of put a hard crease in it wasn't happy about that either
little osprey
Lol oh yea I bet
sand falcon
So @little osprey, what is your budget and what will you be using the PC for?
little osprey
$750 and mostly games also school
sand falcon
What sort of school?
little osprey
high school
i plan on take programming classes
also those classes that use blender
little osprey
yea
sand falcon
What language programming?
little osprey
too bad my current laptop cant run it at all
i think java?
but they also do python
sand falcon
AP Computer Science or whatever?
little osprey
yea
sand falcon
That would be java 😭
little osprey
idek if im taking them next year 😪
sand falcon
Yeah, I dunno what my school is doing either
Anyway, first lesson in programming:
Python = Good
Java = Bad
Java is still bad
Anyway, on with the build. Do you have any requests?
little osprey
dunno what to get
sand falcon
Any minimum amount of storage space or such like?
little osprey
any is fine
sand falcon
SSD is fast but expensive. HDD is slow but big
little osprey
hdd
sand falcon
Usually people will go with a small ssd and a large hdd
They're not that much more expensive
little osprey
oh
sand falcon
Do you need wifi?
little osprey
like ethernet?
sand falcon
No, wifi
little osprey
yes then
sand falcon
All computers will have ethernet. If you need wireless connection though, we'll need some extra parts
little osprey
wireless
little osprey
theres no date
sand falcon
Cool, that's good
stoic island
The more you can wait, the better :)
sand falcon
We'll have to make a new list by then, but I'll get a rough hack one put together
There are also random sales to watch for
little osprey
oh okay
sand falcon
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/9bXXzN
Here's the rough system. It's a bit over budget with prices being the way they are right now, but it should go down
little osprey
so thats all i need to build a complete pc?
agile bear
I had some issues with that board but it should be find
sand falcon
Yup
It's a rough hack build. I'm not a fan of the board either, it's just the cheapest one with wifi that you can get rn
severe bloom
What about the Asus b450f gaming and a pcie wifi/bluetooth card may be cheaper
sand falcon
Not available right now
stoic island
Mobile but says out of stock for me
stoic island
1tb HDD tho... Is 2tb barracuda out of stock or something?
sand falcon
I could only find it for $120
stoic island
Weird lemme see
little leaf
I found it
sand falcon
Yay
stoic island
little osprey
@sand falcon thank you so much
sand falcon
I might have been looking at the firecuda idk
stoic island
Ah fair
severe bloom
I see some b450 m boards available locally in Denver
stoic island
What's with the case tho
Looks wack
Not too sure but I think couger mx330-g could be good
sand falcon
It was pretty, and for a rough hack build it was about the right price as other cases when they go on sale
Case is a personal thing, so I just clicked that button
stoic island
Just the front panel don't look great for airflow for moi
stoic island
Lol
sand falcon
So it must be good
stoic island
Not only does it give you the usual OCP OPP OVP UVP SCP BOP etc, it gives NoctuaFanProtection!
Keeps you away from them beige Noctua fans!
sand falcon
LingLing insurance!
stoic island
0 day warrenty because that's exactly how long it's gonna last!

is there gtx 1660 supers with rgb?
other than gaming x
sand falcon
No. There is no RGB
