what do you mean by go down all the way

white osprey Jul 31, 2020, 2:14 AM

I could fit 1 screw in

tepid basalt Jul 31, 2020, 2:14 AM

the mobo stands on the stand off

white osprey Jul 31, 2020, 2:14 AM

The mobo goes down about half way

tepid basalt Jul 31, 2020, 2:14 AM

But thats the only one

viral ore Jul 31, 2020, 2:18 AM

#

Make sure all the standoffs installed in the case line up with the holes in the board and there are no extra standoffs that shouldn't be installed in the case

#

One of the standoffs is an alignment pin. It's the one on the center

#

The board sits on top of it

tepid basalt Jul 31, 2020, 2:18 AM

dude

#

push the motherboard all the way in

this case looks kinda bad...

viral ore Jul 31, 2020, 2:22 AM

#

Install the standoffs into the case that are required by the board

jade kestrel Jul 31, 2020, 2:22 AM

It won't "go down" because the standoffs aren't there for it to sit on.

Yes

#

A full mATX board uses all 9 standoffs, but not all motherboard manufacturers include all the holes in the motherboard

#

Using the motherboard as reference install the needed standoffs

jade kestrel Jul 31, 2020, 2:26 AM

oh intel

#

what's the pricing for now?

viral ore Jul 31, 2020, 2:48 AM

#

Like ~200 each

#

I'm thinking they'll get cheaper over the next few months

#

Even then, 24/48 for 400 dollars is pretty good

limber yew Jul 31, 2020, 2:49 AM

400 is already cheap for 2 (12) core cpus

viral ore Jul 31, 2020, 2:49 AM

400 gets me a 12/24 3900x on the amd side of things

And ram is way more expensive

Slide those little rail thingies out, and there will be screw holes in them you can attatch the drives to. Then slide them back in with the drive. There should be more precise instructions in your manual

No bending

Read the manual

That would explain some things

it's actually in a x16 slot and my gpus are in x8 slots lol 😄

sand falcon Jul 31, 2020, 6:00 AM

That's normal

#

We've got some gpu's in x4 slots

edgy viper Jul 31, 2020, 6:00 AM

I had to move the gpus because I had to put the ssd in a x16 to get it to recognize all 4 drives

sand falcon Jul 31, 2020, 6:00 AM

#

Bifurcation issues?

edgy viper Jul 31, 2020, 6:00 AM

#

yeah

#

x8 lanes are only physically x8

#

but the gpus don't saturate the x8 so it's fine

sand falcon Jul 31, 2020, 6:02 AM

#

Yeah. Ours don't really even saturate the x4

#

Technically they do, but that's only for like the first half second. Given that runs last hours, it's not really worth

edgy viper Jul 31, 2020, 6:03 AM

Cables

austere condor Jul 31, 2020, 12:41 PM

might seem overwhelming at first, just work through it

white osprey Jul 31, 2020, 12:43 PM

#

Says one end says psu and the other says cpu

#

I plug psu side into psu and cpu into where?

woven wedge Jul 31, 2020, 12:48 PM

#

The mother board

analog hearth Jul 31, 2020, 12:50 PM

#

The CPU power will usually be at the top left of the motherboard

#

Fully modular PSU? Make sure the CPU cable is plugged into the correct output on the PSU

white osprey Jul 31, 2020, 12:56 PM

#

Yes full modular

#

How many cables will i be using?

#

I have 1 hdd

analog hearth Jul 31, 2020, 12:56 PM

#

Yeah, just make sure you have the correct cable going into the correct PSU socket. The CPU power input should be at the top left of your mobo

#

At least three (from the PSU)

white osprey Jul 31, 2020, 12:57 PM

#

Comes with a total of 10 cables

#

Which 4?

analog hearth Jul 31, 2020, 12:57 PM

#

CPU power, ATX (24-pin), GPU power (if applicable), and HDD power

white osprey Jul 31, 2020, 12:58 PM

#

2 of them say cpu

#

And look the same

#

Is 1 just an extra?

analog hearth Jul 31, 2020, 12:59 PM

#

Possibly(?) I’d just look up your PSU manual

#

Or research your PSU a bit

white osprey Jul 31, 2020, 1:00 PM

#

Yeah their the same

#

Whats pcie

#

Will i need it?

analog hearth Jul 31, 2020, 1:00 PM

#

PCIe is for the GPU

#

You’ll need it if you have a GPU that requires extra power that can’t be handled from the PCIe slot

white osprey Jul 31, 2020, 1:01 PM

#

2070S

analog hearth Jul 31, 2020, 1:01 PM

#

That’ll use the power cables (PCIe)

white osprey Jul 31, 2020, 1:02 PM

#

The sata cable is 6 pin?

analog hearth Jul 31, 2020, 1:03 PM

#

I think it might depend on the PSU (but don’t quote me)

white osprey Jul 31, 2020, 1:03 PM

#

I think theres multiple sata cables

#

Do i just use one of them

analog hearth Jul 31, 2020, 1:03 PM

#

I mean, the SATA power cables will have SATA connectors on them

white osprey Jul 31, 2020, 1:03 PM

1 has like 4 on 1 wire

analog hearth Jul 31, 2020, 1:03 PM

So i use that one?

analog hearth Jul 31, 2020, 1:04 PM

Yes

Otherwise you won’t have power for your hard drive lol

analog hearth Jul 31, 2020, 1:05 PM

Other slots on what? The PSU?

white osprey Jul 31, 2020, 1:05 PM

#

Theres 4 sata

#

On the 1 wire

#

I use one for the harddrive

#

What do i use the other 3 for

analog hearth Jul 31, 2020, 1:07 PM

#

You don’t have to use the other three

white osprey Jul 31, 2020, 1:09 PM

#

Theres 2 cpu/pcie options

#

Does it matter where i put the cpu and pcie

analog hearth Jul 31, 2020, 1:10 PM

Highly doubt it

white osprey Jul 31, 2020, 1:10 PM

I should be filling in both those slots though right?

Use both, the CPU and PCIe power outputs on your PSU

#

and I've never seen an 18+10-pin connector

white osprey Jul 31, 2020, 1:24 PM

The M/B is for the mobo right?

analog hearth Jul 31, 2020, 1:25 PM

#

I'd imagine it should be for the mobo

white osprey Jul 31, 2020, 1:25 PM

And its usually 24 and not 18 pin connector?

analog hearth Jul 31, 2020, 1:28 PM

@open gazelle 3600X isn’t worth it. Just stick with regular 3600.

Why spend more on a cooler? 3600 comes with one that’s good enough

RAM is CL18. CL16 or better is preferred

Why a 650w PSU? That system can run off of a 450w. So 450w-550w will work totally fine. No need for 650w.

Use all these things to save money and get an RX 5600 XT or RTX 2060

I have a hdmi

silk estuary Jul 31, 2020, 3:43 PM

#

right? Or am I stupid?

meager radish Jul 31, 2020, 3:43 PM

#

Well as for gsync hdmi isnt supported

open gazelle Jul 31, 2020, 3:43 PM

#

They're both good. ^

white osprey Jul 31, 2020, 3:43 PM

#

My monitor is freesync

meager radish Jul 31, 2020, 3:43 PM

#

Use display port to use adaptive gsync

white osprey Jul 31, 2020, 3:43 PM

#

Dont have 1

#

I dont think it matters to me enough to get one

meager radish Jul 31, 2020, 3:45 PM

#

Not really, gsync isnt really that great if im gonna be honest nor is freesync they do have their underlying issues when enabled

Do i take off the white stuff

White stuff?

white osprey Jul 31, 2020, 3:49 PM

White

#

At the pins

Beige?

open gazelle Jul 31, 2020, 3:49 PM

Oh yeah it's the stopper. Take it off. DON'T AND I MEAN DON'T put your fingers on the gold rail

analog hearth Jul 31, 2020, 3:49 PM

#

I think you should do way more research

open gazelle Jul 31, 2020, 3:49 PM

#

Hold the card from the sides, fans, just don't touch the rail

white osprey Jul 31, 2020, 3:49 PM

Gpu is the last part i gotta put in

analog hearth Jul 31, 2020, 3:50 PM

ah okay

white osprey Jul 31, 2020, 3:50 PM

#

How do i take it off?

open gazelle Jul 31, 2020, 3:50 PM

#

It comes off

#

Just take it off slowly

meager radish Jul 31, 2020, 3:52 PM

I think the white hes talking about is the PCB

meager radish Jul 31, 2020, 3:53 PM

#

Yeah you can put the card in, that’s part of the card and I would not remove it

white osprey Jul 31, 2020, 3:53 PM

#

So theres nothing to take off?

meager radish Jul 31, 2020, 3:53 PM

#

You’re set

open gazelle Jul 31, 2020, 3:54 PM

#

Ohhhh, I was like wh??

#

Yeah that slots in

meager radish Jul 31, 2020, 3:54 PM

#

yeah if he removed that you could have had an expensive paper weight if it went wrong

open gazelle Jul 31, 2020, 3:54 PM

#

Lmao paper weight

white osprey Jul 31, 2020, 3:54 PM

#

I kind of tugged it

#

Didnt budge so i stopped

meager radish Jul 31, 2020, 3:54 PM

#

Should be alright

white osprey Jul 31, 2020, 3:56 PM

#

This may take a while

#

I cant tell if im getting it in

#

And i dont want to push it when its not in

meager radish Jul 31, 2020, 4:00 PM

#

If you look at the slot on the motherboard push the pcie lock down

white osprey Jul 31, 2020, 4:01 PM

That?

meager radish Jul 31, 2020, 4:01 PM

Then align the card and it should click right in

#

Yes

white osprey Jul 31, 2020, 4:01 PM

#

Oh

#

It was up

#

Ok i think i got it in

#

Do i need to push them up to get the gpu out

#

I just wanna make sure its actually in

Hopefully its fine

meager radish Jul 31, 2020, 4:06 PM

Should be alright since the sticker is on it

white osprey Jul 31, 2020, 4:06 PM

I think it might be 2 and 3

Not 1 and 2

#

HDMI goes gpu into monitor?

little osprey Jul 31, 2020, 4:22 PM

#

Yep

#

I'm having trouble with a system I just bought from a friend as far as if everything is connected properly and this kinda my first time with dealing with a system by myself

#

Plus it's an Intel build and all the cables are a jumbled mess tbh so I don't know which is which

meager radish Jul 31, 2020, 4:25 PM

#

What seems to be wrong with the system?

fast dust Jul 31, 2020, 4:26 PM

#

You don’t know where to plug in cables, am I correct?

meager radish Jul 31, 2020, 4:27 PM

#

Well if the system turns on is a good start to finding the issue

little osprey Jul 31, 2020, 4:28 PM

#

So display port from gpu to monitor isn't working and the keyboard turns on but none of my mouses stay on or even turn on
The system turns on and all the lighting including an LED display at the front of the case showing temps show a reading

#

As well as all fans are operable and all lighting is as well

meager radish Jul 31, 2020, 4:28 PM

#

would you be able to provide pictures of the system internals?

little osprey Jul 31, 2020, 4:28 PM

#

Sure

#

Gimme a sec

#

Mind you cables are in a rats and I definitely want to set that right since it's messing with me and making me kinda mad looking at it

meager radish Jul 31, 2020, 4:31 PM

#

Should be alright, just making sure that the connections are snug is a good start

So which ram is better optimized for intel 10900k? Seems like a lot of them are AMD optimized

meager radish Jul 31, 2020, 4:34 PM

#

Ok lets begin @little osprey, I have you tried to use an hdmi cable to boot just off intel graphics to see if it boots

little osprey Jul 31, 2020, 4:35 PM

#

Issue is that my monitor has no HDMI port just display and VGA and some other one

meager radish Jul 31, 2020, 4:35 PM

#

@steady hill amd optimized are optimized for intel as well, ddr4 4000 cl 18 or lower should be good

white osprey Jul 31, 2020, 4:35 PM

This screen is where i put in windows flash drive?

meager radish Jul 31, 2020, 4:37 PM

#

@little osprey, the board does have vga port as well do you have vga cable that you can use to test?

steady hill Jul 31, 2020, 4:37 PM

#

Is there a substantial difference between Corsair dominators vs LPX?

#

those dominators are pretty pricy

little osprey Jul 31, 2020, 4:37 PM

#

Unfortunately I do not have a VGA cable

#

Using my TV monitor since it has hdmi

meager radish Jul 31, 2020, 4:42 PM

#

ok, you could also try hdmi to your gpu as well since your dp cable could be bad, but if the motherboard hdmi boots then there could be issues with the gpu

arctic jungle Jul 31, 2020, 4:42 PM

#

@steady hill dominator looks cool, thats abt it

meager radish Jul 31, 2020, 4:44 PM

#

@white osprey you choose to boot from usb in the motherboard bios

little osprey Jul 31, 2020, 4:44 PM

#

Got it
So I plugged in my TV to both gpu and the system itself and nada

meager radish Jul 31, 2020, 4:45 PM

#

Hmm if not that I would go to reconnecting the cables and if that does not work then I believe you might have a bad power supply

little osprey Jul 31, 2020, 4:45 PM

#

True

meager radish Jul 31, 2020, 4:45 PM

#

The power cables for psu

white osprey Jul 31, 2020, 4:47 PM

Which key is bios

#

It only flashes for a sec

#

F4?

meager radish Jul 31, 2020, 4:48 PM

#

Try the delete key

white osprey Jul 31, 2020, 4:48 PM

#

I dont have the flash drive rn so ill dl windows later

#

But ty to everyone who helped

little osprey Jul 31, 2020, 4:49 PM

#

I have another PSU if the PSU is the issue I'll put that new one in

meager radish Jul 31, 2020, 4:52 PM

#

awesome, dust could be an issue as well which could be fixed with a paint brush really. But the power supply is the first thing i’d switch and try out

little osprey Jul 31, 2020, 4:55 PM

#

Oof I just realized how dusty my gpu is oyy

meager radish Jul 31, 2020, 5:00 PM

#

I would give everything in that case a good clean for optimal performance, the fans as well. But making sure everything works before doing it will definitely help you from getting a headache

little osprey Jul 31, 2020, 5:04 PM

#

Got it also i found some cables and I wanna find out if they're important or not

meager radish Jul 31, 2020, 5:06 PM

#

What are the cables? ThinkingEgg

little osprey Jul 31, 2020, 5:13 PM

#

Probably cables to plug into the motherboard from an old system or from a different system we're not familiar with
The build is a little old

meager radish Jul 31, 2020, 5:15 PM

#

Do they light up at all they look like leds but they dont really matter as long as the power and reset are working

#

As in the buttons

little osprey Jul 31, 2020, 5:19 PM

#

Yeah the power button worked but I'm not sure about all the other stuff like the reset or the USB and audio ports on the case so I might have to move it to my other case if anything

#

Also I just realized that the fan was face down in the case but the case did have standoffs at the bottom so I'm not sure if the PSU got choked or if it's just old and dead somehow

meager radish Jul 31, 2020, 5:22 PM

#

Ah even if the psu did work I would replace it anyways since older psu’s like that are ticking time bombs

little osprey Jul 31, 2020, 5:22 PM

#

True

meager radish Jul 31, 2020, 5:27 PM

#

Another case would be great for that build, once you get it cleaned up and tidy please do post your work on the build pics Nice

little osprey Jul 31, 2020, 5:28 PM

Absolutely
Posting my psu in build pics to show what I'm putting in

Gigabyte Radeon Rx 5700 Xt Gaming OC 8G or Sapphire 11293-03-40G Radeon NITRO+ RX 5700 XT 8GB GDDR6 Dual HDMI or the Sapphire 11293-05-40G Radeon Nitro+ RX 5700 XT 8GB GDDR6 Dual HDMI

deep skiff Jul 31, 2020, 5:55 PM

#

:v the last two are the same

#

the nitro has a better cooler than the gigabyte but the gigabyte is usually 30-40 cheaper, i'd pick it, it still has a decent cooler

plucky cradle Jul 31, 2020, 5:55 PM

#

no one has a higher memory speed and base clock speed which is the last one

#

ok but should I get the 430 one or the 450, the 430 one has a memory speed of 14 but the 450 has one of 14.4 and a higher baseclock spped

meager radish Jul 31, 2020, 5:56 PM

#

the power color red devil would be a good choice as well

deep skiff Jul 31, 2020, 5:57 PM

#

the second nitro+ is slightly overclocked from the factory but it has the same cooler and is the same card, with overclocking they should be the same

#

yea red devil is a great card too

plucky cradle Jul 31, 2020, 5:57 PM

#

is red devil better then the sapphire

deep skiff Jul 31, 2020, 5:57 PM

#

i'd say theyre on par

#

the gigabyte one is 20 cheaper than the nitro+ and the nitro+ is 10 cheaper than the red devil

meager radish Jul 31, 2020, 5:59 PM

#

nitro does seem like a good deal since it does have an oc bios

plucky cradle Jul 31, 2020, 6:00 PM

#

ok so is it worth the extra 20 for the higher specs?

#

the first nitro+ is this Base clock 1770 MHz
Game clock up to 1902 MHz boost clock 2010 MHz
Memory speed 14 Gaps. Power consumption-265W
PCIe 4 0 4 Outputs 2 x DisplayPort 1 4 2 x HDMI 2 0

deep skiff Jul 31, 2020, 6:00 PM

#

up to you if the 20 is worth a cooler/quieter card

plucky cradle Jul 31, 2020, 6:00 PM

#

the second one which is the more expensive is Base clock: 1840 MHz
Game clock: up to 1965 MHz
Boost clock: up to 2035 MHz
Memory speed: 14.4 Gbps
4 Outputs: 2 x DisplayPort, 2 x HDMI
PCIe 4.0

meager radish Jul 31, 2020, 6:02 PM

#

nitro would be the better deal since the red dev does have the same pre oc

plucky cradle Jul 31, 2020, 6:02 PM

#

which one is better the 1st or the 2nd one?

deep skiff Jul 31, 2020, 6:02 PM

#

whats the price difference

plucky cradle Jul 31, 2020, 6:03 PM

#

20 bucks

#

the 2nd one is more

stark bramble Jul 31, 2020, 6:03 PM

#

core clock doesnt rly mean anything

#

what are the gpus

deep skiff Jul 31, 2020, 6:03 PM

#

if u wanna overclock at all the first one is fine

#

you can get it to perform as good as the second one with a easy overclock

stark bramble Jul 31, 2020, 6:04 PM

#

if u can fit it into ur budget tho i suggest a rtx 2060s

plucky cradle Jul 31, 2020, 6:04 PM

#

really is it better then the 5700 xt or is it just prefrence

stark bramble Jul 31, 2020, 6:05 PM

#

lower latency

meager radish Jul 31, 2020, 6:05 PM

#

for a few frames its really not worth it

stark bramble Jul 31, 2020, 6:05 PM

#

better frames

#

gsync is also better then freesync

deep skiff Jul 31, 2020, 6:05 PM

#

eh 5700xt has better performance it just doesnt have as many features

plucky cradle Jul 31, 2020, 6:05 PM

#

my cpu is a amd ryzen 7 3700x

meager radish Jul 31, 2020, 6:09 PM

#

adaptive sync is pretty much the same for both it's really just features and personal preference

white osprey Jul 31, 2020, 6:28 PM

#

is there any software you have to download for a monitor

#

or do u just plug it in and play

#

im leaning towards no software

little osprey Jul 31, 2020, 6:30 PM

#

So I've got the new PSU plugged but there's still no post
I'm scared that maybe somehow the AIO flooded and the chip is dead

#

Not sure if any monitor needs software if you've bought it from a manufacturer or retail
So I'd say plug and play

white osprey Jul 31, 2020, 6:32 PM

#

i got a 144hz monitor but its 60hz rn

#

does it all only go 144 when gaming?
