hey! could someone possible help me with a pcpart list... budget is 900$. would love it to have rgb XD
humble charm
@ebon parrot Well lets see
foggy bough
Sam_ can you show me the list?
humble charm
For me I just used the controllers on the front of the case for the front fans and light strip
and i use a separate controller for my three other fans and light strips
The reason why i had to do that was because my mb didnt have the 5 pin connnector
still roostBOT
Kid.exe Has Stopped Working#7940 has been warned
humble charm
@ebon parrot
ebon parrot
ah ok
yeah i dont think i had the 5pin either
good idea though connecting it to the controller
humble charm
ok so just to clarify my front fans are connected to the front panel controller
and the other three fans inside the case are connected to a seperate controller from the front panel
so they are controlled separately from each other
@ebon parrot Hope that helps man
ebon parrot
allrighty appreciate it

spiral zealot
there's probably a locking tab on the pci-e slot, you'll either need to lift it up gently towards the cpu, or push it down towards th eboard itself
little osprey
i unscrewed the screws on the side
spiral zealot
to free the card
little osprey
what’s that
i’m new to all of this stuff
where do i find that
is it the grey tab thing?
spiral zealot
yes, it'll be on the end of the slot that the card is plugged into
opposite the side with the monitor ports
little osprey
i’m pressing it it’s nots coming out
spiral zealot
depending on the type of locking tab they use, there are different ways to unlock it
little osprey
oh
spiral zealot
if it's the kind that pushes towards the board, it will push the card out of the slot at the same time, if it's just the kind that lifts up a little, you'll need to hold it up while you pull the card out
spiral zealot
that looks like a lifting tab, hook the edge of it and pull it gently up towards the ram/cpu
spiral zealot
what board do you have?
slender owl
What a good ram? 16gb non rgb
spiral zealot
@little osprey which board specifically? i'm not seeing any that match up with the picture you sent
stoic island
Ripjaw v 3600cl16
little osprey
that’s all it says
little osprey
yes
stoic island
looks like the picture is the ram tabs
spiral zealot
it should say on the board above/below the gpu slot
you can see the GPU slot there as well
spiral zealot
that's the thing, i don't see an asus a320 board that matches anything on asus' site
but it looks like it's the lifting kind of tab
you can try pressing on it
and pulling the card
spiral zealot
oh that might be the kind of tab in the picture then, press down towards the board, use a hard piece of plastic or something for leverage
stoic island
push down harder :D
spiral zealot
the other picture didn't make it look like it stuck out like that
little osprey
ok
spiral zealot
don't use a screwdriver like i did once in my youth
messed up the board underneath when it slipped and gouged into it
little osprey
it’s not coming out
no matter how hard i pull
idk what’s the problem
same goes to the cpu
spiral zealot
try pressing down on the tab without pulling on the card, with that kind of tab, if you do both at the same time, you cancel the forces out
little osprey
ok
i did
no matter how hard i pull
it’s not coming out
because of the left side
the left side@isn’t loose at all
spiral zealot
once the screws have been removed on the left side, the only thing holding it in should be the tab on the slot
little osprey
i’ve already done that
spiral zealot
so, there's a screw that is right above the ones you took out, the big thumb screw, there's another one down near the bottom of the pic
the ones that are facing sideways in the picture
take those out
and then that whole piece of metal that runs along the side of the card will come out
that whole long piece of metal with the little cutouts for screws is the pci lock
little osprey
so these?
spiral zealot
yeah
and then the piece of metal that they are pressed up against should rotate out of the case
little osprey
ok
spiral zealot
depending how that case is set up, that could also be holding the card in place
spiral zealot
now try and press on the tab on the gpu slot and see if the card loosens and comes out
little osprey
thx bro
little osprey
ok
i have another problem tho
my cpu isn’t coming out
like i keep unscrewing it
@spiral zealot
spiral zealot
gently and i mean GENTLY rotate the cooler to break the seal that the thermal paste has probably made
as it heats/cools over and over, it almost glues the cooler to the cpu
so you need to give just a little bit of force sometimes to break it loose
and then once the cooler is off, you can lift the metal arm and pull the cpu itself out
slender owl
You unscrewed all 4 screws holding the fan down?
little osprey
they aren’t unscrewing
they aren’t wobbling at all
i’ve been unscrewing for so long
slender owl
Weird... maybe try screwing them back in then unscrewing it again?
little osprey
i did it
does anything look off to this cpu anyone?
like some missing pins or something
spiral zealot
not as far as i can tell, but the flash on the corner makes it hard to see that part
but it looks ok to me
spiral zealot
yeah, maybe some slightly bent pins, but nothing missing
spiral zealot
oh, that might be some crud or paste or something
if you can clean out that gunk in the bottom left, it's probably fine
i'd use like a toothpick and some 99% rubbing alcohol or something
but just be careful to not bend any pins or anything
little osprey
ok
little osprey
guys i have another problem but it’s a simple fix
elfin burrow
for my build in #build-pics I really wish I had gone w/ Ryzen but when I was piecing it together last year a guy at work (who I thought was more knowledgeable than he turned out to be) said it was better than Ryzen for everything even if Intel was a lil more costly

mellow basalt
Which one is better this ssd: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/68c48d/tcsunbow-x3-1-tb-25-solid-state-drive-x3-1tb or this one: https://www.microcenter.com/product/513534/crucial-p1-1tb-ssd-3d-qlc-nand-m2-2280-pcie-nvme-30-x4-internal-solid-state-drive
little osprey
ok guys
i’m having trouble screwing in my new cpu
everytime i screw in a corner it the other side pops out
some one please help
hello please
spiral zealot
only screw each corner in a little bit at a time
so start all 4 just a little
and then tighten each one a little more
until they're all in place
little osprey
ok
spiral zealot
it keeps the pressure even across the cpu and makes it so all 4 can catch and screw in
little osprey
i give up
i’ve tried too many times
it hasn’t worked
anyone know how much it costs to take it to best buy?

its probably idle
and i just upgraded the parts
wym
i just upgraded my gpu
wym its not working
and one of my led light aren’t working
are the fans not spinning?
yes
check all connections
by why does it say no signal
on my pc
when i have my mobo
i mean gpu
thats probably not the gpu
then what is it?
idk
what happens when you boot your pc
it’s ok but one led light isn’t working
on*
and it won’t boot
it says no signal found
check to connection to the power supply from the gpu
ok
it could be faulty if its brand new too
thats a possibilty
oh ok
ok
this is a prebuilt
and i opened the back
and i saw this
it has so many unplugged wires
it’s so weird
it won’t send
little leaf
Yes most computers do have unplugged psu wires ad alot of psu arent modular meaning wires must stay in the case
@little osprey does it not boot or does it not post? Further more when you try to turn it on does it look like everything is receiving power?
If you could post a video of you trying to turn it on

guys is a 80mm fan for exhaust enough for a ryzen 5 1600 and rx 580? i will put one more down the line
foggy bough
i mean it will be for exhaust for like 3-4 weeks and then i will put one more 120mm fan for intake
stoic island
Not like you need a 200mm fan for everything
foggy bough
i know
but yeah many people have one fan for exhaust and it works just fine even with a 2060
stoic island
I have a 120mm exhaust and 140mm exhaust
Stuff can still get toasty
Ain't my fault
stoic island
(never heard of it)
stoic island
Air doesn't like being pulled in 90 degrees turn lol
foggy bough
wdym
stoic island
That's the whole reason why h510 doesn't get good airflow from the front
Or the H500m
stoic island
It's the same reason why you wouldn't stick your GPU right up against your side panel lol
You gotta leave some space
Lol
stoic island
Interesting side panel design
Looks okay
Still never heard of it so looks can be deceiving
stoic island
Front panel looks okay
foggy bough
i will put one more so yeah
stoic island
But if it has intake and exhaust maybe
frigid lotus
hello all! this is my first time on this discord.
foggy bough
hey
frigid lotus
i am looking for some help with building a new computer for my business
frigid lotus
well, honestly Ive never attempted to build a pc from the ground up and was looking for some pointers as to where to begin?
foggy bough
okay
zenith glacier
hi
frigid lotus
i am building this new pc to replace a failing older tower i had built for my office
zenith glacier
i am upgrading my pc soon but i want to replace my case first
its TT 37 view now but i want to have black in and white out case.
foggy bough
so LBCPA u start with the cpu and the motherboard
cpu=processor
go to general chat skull lady i cant help you here
zenith glacier
thanks
frigid lotus
my current pc (the failing one) has 8 cores intel core i7-3770K @ 3.5 Ghz
and 35 gb of ram
foggy bough
okay
frigid lotus
thats as far as i know
frigid lotus
but the usage is at 85% for both cpu and ram
deep skiff
you probably need a platform upgrade so a new motherboard, cpu, and ram
frigid lotus
thanks kid.exe
yeah i was thinking so, but im a complete novice when it comes to building
deep skiff
is this just an office pc or do you do gpu intensive things like gaming and rendering?
frigid lotus
just office work, im a cpa and we have to keep a 'server' pc running for the tax software we use
edgy wagon
Should i buy a decent mic?
edgy wagon
over a headset mic?
deep skiff
do you have a budget for the upgrades?
edgy wagon
its a razer kraken so kinda
frigid lotus
right now i have an 8 core intel i7 cpu and 32 gigs of ram but current usage is pushing 85%
budget is 2500
little leaf
purpose of pc?
frigid lotus
could be maxed to 3000
deep skiff
@little leaf just office work, im a cpa and we have to keep a 'server' pc running for the tax software we use
little leaf
give me a sec in class]
deep skiff
would you be reusing case and psu?
frigid lotus
probably not this one is kind of trash
its been in service what feels like 10 years
maybe the psu but idk what kind of power requirements im going to need
frigid lotus
yes, i think
little leaf
I"m assuming you don't need much graphical power
frigid lotus
not at all but for text
little leaf
so just some crappy video card for output
deep skiff
i'd probably throw a 1650 or something in it
frigid lotus
yup no need for crazy graphics but i need a beefy workhorse
deep skiff
true
deep skiff
heres closer to 2500-3000 (24 cores+128gb ram) https://pcpartpicker.com/list/NgsZNq
or cheaper (16 cores+128gb ram) https://pcpartpicker.com/list/QzyXDx
i didnt put storage in cause idk about that part
little leaf
does he need thread ripper?
deep skiff
thats why theres a cheaper one :v idk if 24 cores is overkill
frigid lotus
wow thats wonderful
little leaf
if he is mostly server epyc would be better wouldn't it
frigid lotus
you just whipped that together?
deep skiff
doesnt epyc just really have the ram support over threadripper?
frigid lotus
mind=blown
little leaf
yes
deep skiff
ive done a few parts lists haha
little leaf
I"m pretty sure it has more secruity
deep skiff
@little leaf is epyc that kinda overkill ||idk much about the cpus and mobos||
little leaf
honestly if his server is very small probably
epyc is ussally for large servers
he could even just use a ryzen 9
deep skiff
yea i'd probably suggest a 3900x or 3950x and that would save like 1k off the budget
weak arrow
How much gb r drivers
little leaf
It really depends on how big the server is
deep skiff
drivers are usually <1gb they're pretty small
weak arrow
I’m building a pc tomorrow and I want to download driver to my pc instead of getting a WiFi adapter
frigid lotus
hey guys ive decided to go with the 24 core build you made for me\
little leaf
how big is your server?
frigid lotus
other than storage what else will i need to hook this all up? will the cables come with the psu?
frigid lotus
tbh i am not entirely sure? i know the usage details for the tower it runs on
sorry
cursive wharf
What kind of server is this and how large will the deployment be?
frigid lotus
this is a small office server to run tax programs off of
but it is extremely underpowered for what we need
deep skiff
the 24 core build might be overkill for a single office
cursive wharf
Are these tax programs that intensive?
frigid lotus
surprisingly, yes
frigid lotus
its been maxing out my 8 core intel i7 and 32 gb ram for a while now, randomly powering down
little leaf
randomly powering down is power
frigid lotus
its called computax
cursive wharf
What specific i7 tho? Do you know?
frigid lotus
3770K?
frigid lotus
its very very old
cursive wharf
4c/8t?
little leaf
thats not 8 core lmao
frigid lotus
?
little leaf
thats 4 core
frigid lotus
shows you how much i know
cursive wharf
4 core/8 threads
frigid lotus
ahhhh
little leaf
I"m pretty sure you only need a ryzen 9
frigid lotus
that explains
little leaf
I think the thread ripper is over kil
frigid lotus
yeah im feeling pretty silly
cursive wharf
It happens, don't worry
frigid lotus
yes but again its about 10 years old
deep skiff
@little leaf 64 cores or else 😤
deep skiff
even a modern 4c/8t like the 3300x will see a decent improvement because the clock speeds and ipc increases, so i think 12 cores will be fine
cursive wharf
About how many people use the program at its intensive state at a time?
little leaf
ok wait wait
frigid lotus
and im pushing 89% usage
cursive wharf
So it's always hammering the CPU? Or just after inputting like a spreadsheet or smth and then pressing "compute" or smth
deep skiff
@cursive wharf 128gb be smart?
cursive wharf
You said this was your 3770 as well, so is this your personal PC where only you're using it?
frigid lotus
no i have my own pc for personal
cursive wharf
Okay. So current server PC is the 3770 where when everyone is using it it'll be like 87% or something?
frigid lotus
yes that is correct, but only half of my people are connected and its showing 87%
little leaf
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/9rGG9G something like this
you really don't need thread ripper
cursive wharf
Okay, so at absolute min would be 3700x. But recommendation would be 3900x or 3950x
deep skiff
heres what i was thinking https://pcpartpicker.com/list/rh9Jcq
cursive wharf
Getting close to max ram usage tbh with 64gb
28.16gb with just half the people using it. So 56.32gb with everyone using it
little leaf
3950x not needed
frigid lotus
i am also trying to go above spec for a bit of future proofing
cursive wharf
Probs do a 64gb + 16gb if you want to save some money
little leaf
cursive wharf
Cuz 128 is kinda... Out there
little leaf
3950x isn't needed
deep skiff
yea true
frigid lotus
lower end of budget is still 2500
little leaf
if he has more emploies he needs more ram
cursive wharf
What's drive usage like?
deep skiff
yea even a 3950x+128gb is like 1500
frigid lotus
so if we end up with ultra overkill, happy to do it
cursive wharf
Also network usage? Might be worth doing 10gbe on server to a switch where it does 1gbe to all the other PCs
Idk whether if you need that
frigid lotus
i have all cat 6e cabling throughout the office as well
cursive wharf
Rn that server PC is only going to get 5e speeds
Cuz the LAN controller is standard
deep skiff
do any x570 boards have 10gb ports?
frigid lotus
i would like to have an upgraded lan controller
celest horizon
128GB of rev.e can be $440 after tax on sale
cursive wharf
Fair few do iirc
celest horizon
Not worth to pay extra for a premium board just to get integrated 10G imo
Get a used intel x520 da2 sfp+ nic on ebay for $50
frigid lotus
thank you all! i think i have a much better understanding of what I need now
thank you for taking the time to help me out
celest horizon
$330 ish level x570 boards often have a 1Gb intel NIC and a second realtek or broadcom 2.5G nic, both rj45
frigid lotus
thinking about a 1 tb ssd for system files and 2 4tb hdds
celest horizon
Good config
deep skiff
x470 Taichi Ultimate has a 10gb port if u can find one cheapish
frigid lotus
just found out i have extra in our budget, nuclear nachos, that first build you posted, do you think you could send me an updated list with that taichi ultimate?
deep skiff
x470 taichis are surprisingly hard to find for a actual decent price so i'd probably take forks advice they're like sub $100 https://pcpartpicker.com/list/VG29k6
cursive wharf
I would drop the AIO
Just go for air. Less points of failure
Want as much stability as possible for a server
stoic island
What's with pcpp thinking 3950x is 500$
frigid lotus
listed on pcpp for 500 but on amzn its 690
celest horizon
$700 is the price I'd expect new
frigid lotus
yeah its just as much on amazon
deep skiff
huh i must of glazed over that 700 is what it should be yeah
celest horizon
If you really want to run 10gig over cat6a, then https://www.ebay.com/itm/Intel-X520-T2-E10G42BT-10-Gigabit-PCIe-Dual-Port-Ethernet-Server-Adapter/264766176175

for a 3000$ build y such a bad graphics card
fading acorn
oh okay
frigid lotus
but does anything else stand out as missing or wrong?
fading acorn
i’m not good with computers i’m noob
deep skiff
the 3960x might be a little overkill, a 16 core 3950x+dark rock pro 4 cooler instead of that aio would save like $900
but if you do go with that threadripper build the motherboard already has a 10 gig port so you wouldnt need that card

what’s a good cpu for gaming/streaming
swift rain
for not intense gaming should i chop 100$ off my build with a 1660 super rather than a 2060?
fading acorn
@little osprey 250 is my budget
swift rain
oh gpu or ur whole pc
swift rain
okay
im looking on valorant tho and the frames and the temp and all that is almost similar except the 2060 pinching thje lead
mortal rampart
integrated graphics will run it fine
fast dust
@fading acorn 1700X is good for streaming, But I'd actually say to get a 3600 instead
mortal rampart
@swift rain get a 1660s
lament oyster
Yea no reason to spend 300 bucks for a 2060 for valorant
fading acorn
what’s is a good cooler for a 3600

quick list, others can chime in - https://pcpartpicker.com/list/CPq37T
the ssd has dram cache, even though pcpp doesn't think it does
fading acorn
we have a slight dilemma do i get a 3600 or 3600x or 3600xt or 2700x
fading acorn
i mean x
spiral zealot
3600 is still best bang for the buck imo
stoic island
yea
spiral zealot
3600xt is like...however much more $$$ for only 100mhz more boost
stoic island
so a 170$ 3600 is better
deep skiff
yes
stoic island
700$ cpu+gpu budget maybe
stoic island
prob a 1650s
fading acorn
oh ik
spiral zealot
my list was 1660s

Don't use h510 :D

Also private list lol

Hard drive
stoic island
Why
swift rain
cant i just buy a seagate from like costco and load sht on there
stoic island
If you want it to be slow sure
fading acorn
2060 super
swift rain
does that go into the build or just like a storage
stoic island
Get a SSD to boot from
fading acorn
if u have money rly good bang for buck
stoic island
@fading acorn 5700xt :p
swift rain
lmao
fading acorn
5700xt is better than 2060 super?
swift rain
okey suggest me
swift rain
Seagate Barracuda Compute is this okay
stoic island
Loads faster
swift rain
oh okay
deep skiff
yes 5700xt is better than 2060 super

Yea 2060s isn't great price to perf considering 5700xt is same price for 2070s performance
swift rain
check again lmao
damn still under 900 and on black friday and after the new NVDA drop maybe less than 800
what a budget lol
fading acorn
okay but what’s better if i put it with a 3600
stoic island
Do you stream or no

The motherboard M.2 slot #1 shares bandwidth with SATA 6.0 Gb/s ports. When the M.2 slot is populated, two SATA 6.0 Gb/s ports are disabled.
Note:Some physical dimension restrictions cannot (yet) be automatically checked, such as cpu cooler / RAM clearance with modules using tall heat spreaders.
stoic island
Ignore
stoic island
Are you going to have 6 sata drives
swift rain
no idea what those are
deep skiff
that shows up every time
stoic island
@deep skiff that's only for boards that share SATA and m.2 bandwidth
B450, don't think so on b550 or x570
deep skiff
well a lot of times
swift rain
goteem
but other wise for daily use my pc looks fine?
now i need to get onto better internet lol
stoic island
You use wifi or Ethernet
fading acorn
should i ethernet is it rly worth it
swift rain
yes
stoic island
Get a Mobo with wifi then
swift rain
if you play alot
fading acorn
i play daily
stoic island
With a wifi module built in
swift rain
any recs?
stoic island
Usually cheaper than buying a pcie wifi adapter separate
swift rain
alos its near 2 am and i have to wake at 8 to volunteer so i gotta sleeo soon
stoic island
Mobile sucks with pcpp
swift rain
rec me some mobo with wifi
stoic island
Idk haven't looked at prices for wifi boards in a while
swift rain
ah okaty
crystal quest
you can get a mobo with wifi for ~130 probably
put the other 50 towards an SSD instead of HDD for storage
b450 gigabyte aorus pro wifi
in stock at best buy and b&h photo

are you not looking at a 3600?
swift rain
i am
Some AMD B450 chipset motherboards may need a BIOS update prior to using Matisse CPUs. Upgrading the BIOS may require a different CPU that is supported by older BIOS revisions.
swift rain
prick what
stoic island
Pcpp is dumb
crystal quest
there was a period where 3000 series needed an update
it definitely fits the socket
stoic island
It's basically impossible they have an outdated motherboard in stock
From a year ago
Ya
Pcpp is just dumb
swift rain
u better pay pal me 130 if it doesnt work 😄
crystal quest
i would feel almost 100% comfortable that this revised version of the board ships with 3000 compatibility
swift rain
jk but lets pray
stoic island
You can put 3800x and b450 gaming pro carbon wifi in pcpp and it'll yell at you
But I have that in my PC rn
So uh
Yea
crystal quest
absolute worst case scenario
you have to update the board via usb drive
but it would work
stoic island
@crystal quest or, ask AMD for an update kit
stoic island
Or ask b&h for a return
crystal quest
free.99
stoic island
Or ask gigabyte for a RMA
swift rain
o damn
stoic island
Yea update bios via USB stick without CPU is a thing on a good few boards
And AMD upgrade kit is free iirc
Return is free ofc
swift rain
thats fine then i hope
swift rain
yea esspecially to a new builder
stoic island
Pcpp markets new parts from stores, not used market
swift rain
oh yea whats ops on buying used
stoic island
Stores are getting new shipments, with updated bios
crystal quest
if you’re super new to building i would just watch youtube
endlessly helpful
it’s so nice to see it all
stoic island
Watch Gamers Nexus :D
Or LTT to start with
swift rain
yea i watch ltt
stoic island
Me too
swift rain
alright
stoic island
Dunno why I love watching hwnews recap
swift rain
i smell sleep time for me
crystal quest
bitwit, paul’s hardware
swift rain
cya guys ty for advice
crystal quest
they do a lot of informal builds and some deep dives
you can PM me later with questions
pretty much all i’ve done is watch this type of youtube since quarantine started
i’ve ALMOST got all the parts i need
stoic island
I've only built 1 PC :p
crystal quest
that’s fine. nows a decent time for the cpu. i’d buy the 3600 now and get the rest piece meal
there is a price war and it’s down to like $155
stoic island
Yes
crystal quest
incredible deal
stoic island
I got a 3800x for 330 with some game forgot what it was
Like few months after launch
crystal quest
that’s super clutch
stoic island
Eh, decent
I think it was outer worlds
Lemme check
Oh yea it was boarderlands 3 and outer worlds with CPU
crystal quest
my roommate just got bl3 on ps4 for $15
he’s ecstatic
i didn’t have the heart to tell him it was free on PC 😂

I need a 2060 for around $300 usd any recommendations?
stoic island
EVGA 2060 ko should be like 310$ still
fading acorn
^ good brand too
patent vapor
Yo sell me parts is that good for rust n war zone
little leaf
@patent vapor which card?
little leaf
@patent vapor I would personally recommend the 5700
fading acorn
he has 700$ budget
patent vapor
Ok thx
fading acorn
patent vapor
I was look at parts awhile ago n found rtx 2060 super is it good
fading acorn
this would work if u jump ur budget
patent vapor
Ya it’s good thx
fading acorn
a 1660 super could do the trick for less
patent vapor
Ok thx
fading acorn
fading acorn
take a look at this

Ssd is bad
That psu looks like a bomb
Lmao
At least get a mp34 a br
And I would get different ram
fading acorn
😭i try

Here let me fix

If the 5700 was in stock I would make this list better but corona says no
And id I made a mistake im kinda delusional when Im on my phone at 1

@fading acorn this is the link i posted earlier for the $700 budget, but the case went out of stock in the last like 5 hours lol - https://pcpartpicker.com/list/CPq37T
but the coolermaster one in bitcorn's link is a good one, and pushed the total to like $720ish

Anybody knows a affordable CPU

Tips to sleep?

Aww shite rhis is gen
@flat iris 3600 3300x
Higher end buulds 10600k for gaming
Only
tepid basalt
10600 is enough
extra cash for the Z board + the high end cooling serving the oc can be poured on games and better gpu
and a serviceable cooler
limpid solar
hello?
cursive wharf
10600 non k is a waste
the OC comes from core OC, mesh OC, and cache OC
plus memory OC (with z mobo)
just stay Ryzen instead of intel at that point

I cant see to find anything about my motherboard, its a Gigabyte H110-S2PV-Cf and i wanted to make sure it was compatible with the new graphics card I was going to buy. (nvidia 1660ti) can anyone help?
ornate lodge
okie thank youu

I have a Ryzen 3600X processor that seems to be failing to get enough power from the motherboard. Is the additional attachment via the tiny connector to the heatsink itself the answer?
fast dust
fading acorn
u linked the channel he is in
fast dust
Oh what I thought this was build pics 
earnest delta
The processor came with 2 additional micro connectors. One that seemed to be for the RGB the other... I wasn't sure.
fast dust
The other is for the fan
deep skiff
the other should be the fan control which you should plug in
fast dust
I’d assume
deep skiff
is it 4 pin?
earnest delta
Yep. I believe so anyway.
deep skiff
yea plug that into a fan header on ur motherboard or else it will just overheat and crash
earnest delta
My hand was too big to connect it. But I feel that I screwed up by not connecting it.
fast dust
Lol yeah you have to connect that
fading acorn
does anyone know if the MSI MAG B550M Mortar Gaming Motherboard has a 4 pin 12v connector for rgb
earnest delta
It has two additional connectors. One RGB and the other probably fan control.
fast dust
Did it look like the image I posted above or no
And wait, 2 additional connectors, so, 3 total?
Is it a wraith prism cooler?
@zinc grail What power supply is that 
zinc grail
Could not tell u haha. My cousin gave it to me from his pc he never used
earnest delta
"Besides 4-pin PWM for its fan, the cooler includes two additional cables, an addressable 3-pin RGB cable to control the lighting and a USB cable that plugs into one of your motherboard's USB 2.0/1.1 headers."
So that "3rd" one.
Explained so poorly in the manual. :D

I am looking for suggestion on using AMD cpu to build a trading desktop, mainly for charts and youtube, prefer to drive dual 4k monitors using hdmi, what cpu, MB, ram size can do all this for windows 10? thanks
fast dust
I mean I’ve heard of USB obviously but never heard of a fan plugging into is
earnest delta
The motherboard has a usb plugin for the cpu. So I guess that's a thing now.
Thanks for your knowledge. I will try again with that plug. It is so tiny...
Something like 1-pin.
fast dust
Also, what do you mean by its “failing to get enough power”
earnest delta
It doesn't seem to be spinning correctly.
fast dust
Elaborate on that
earnest delta
And the computer fails to boot.
earnest delta
Well, the heatsink fan.
wary geode
intricate on that note
Well I had these kind of prob before does it look like this
Just blinks and fans move slow then fast
earnest delta
Yep. Exactly that.
