[little osprey]

I actually found this really sweet local "mom and pop" shop

Prices aren't too bad

Yeah I found one too they have older i5 and i7 builds for like 100-200

They carry newer stuff

They even had a few b550s, new too

Which I was surprised by since b550 is sold out almost everywhere

[little leaf]

U guys have microcenter?

[little osprey]

Noep

*nope

[little leaf]

I just found out I do

[little osprey]

I have "microbytes" lol, canada

[autumn gate]

can you guys help me build a pc i have 400-500usd budget and i dont really know what parts to pick

[little osprey]

Closest is like 100+ miles

500 isn't much

I'm not sure if micro enter owns it

[little leaf]

Go used

[little osprey]

It's possible, but not much

[autumn gate]

how about 600?

[little osprey]

Wait for the 4700g to come out at that budget neyja

[autumn gate]

ok thanks

[little leaf]

600

Easy

[little osprey]

You won't even need a GPU, you can worry about it later

Play on medium in the meantime lol

[autumn gate]

ikr but i really need to build like this week tho huhu im thinking 3200g but idk

[little osprey]

Going to go sleep before I have to work in less than 8 hours

Or I guess 4600g or equivalent would be on that budget

See yall

I hate night shift😭😭, but the pay is amazing 🤑🤑

3200g is good, but if u get a GPU I heard the 3100 is better, I'm not super up to date

I wish I had a pay xD

I make like ten bucks a day with my life savings of what is now 1900 bucks lol

Investing

lol

But soon that goes to computer

[autumn gate]

i make nothing at all lol

[little osprey]

My pay is completely random

So now I'm at ~1100, -550 for my mobo and cpu

*with tax

A server rack wearhouse is hiring tho 20 an hour

But it's full time :(

[autumn gate]

3200g or 3400g? im buying a gpu in the future

[little osprey]

Probably 32 but I'm really not sure

[autumn gate]

i think if you really need the money you have to do it then retire lol

ok thanks

[little osprey]

You should know that with a CPU like that you won't be able to get a GPU stronger than like a 1660ish

Which is pretty powerful in its own right but, it don't do the ray trace

[formal plover]

GUys

I need help

wit wrong cht

wit*

wit*

[little osprey]

I wanna flight sim

[formal plover]

dng tht one's broken too

[little osprey]

New game look so good

[formal plover]

yeh

[little osprey]

Microsoft is building the matrix

Like forget about graphic design let's just upload earth

And NPCs? Pffff just use u and ur data

[autumn gate]

i think im only getting a 1050 ti tho and build a new pc when i grow old enought to get a job haha

[little osprey]

Used 1050? Just get an old dell optiplex

I5

[autumn gate]

not used haha

[little leaf]

Lmao

[little osprey]

Thats a 5 yr old low end card....

[little leaf]

These people come here with low budgets

And say

[autumn gate]

bruh ok

[little leaf]

Let me not go used

[autumn gate]

so what should i pair the 3200g with?

[little osprey]

1650 super minimum

[autumn gate]

okok

[little osprey]

Or a 570 used

[little leaf]

budget

what is the budget

[little osprey]

If it's too expensive then a used 1050 lol, not new

500

I5 optiplex + 1050 = 200 bucks, or less

[autumn gate]

500-600

is it good?

[little osprey]

Almost as good as a 3200 and 1050 lol

[autumn gate]

wtf is this HAHAHAH

[little osprey]

You said yourself it's a temporary pc

Get used

[autumn gate]

hahaha

[little osprey]

3200 is much better then an old i5 of course but, if your pairing it with a 1050 it's pointless

Old i7 max

[little leaf]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/NrvRQq new build for 699

600

But I advise going used

for more perf

[autumn gate]

what if 3400g not gonna pair with gpu then upgrade all the parts when i have the money?

[little osprey]

1650 non super.... Noooooooo

[little leaf]

wait

is it not lol

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/RqH36R

sorry about that I looked up 1650s in search bar instead of the filter

[little osprey]

3400g won't benefit you anymore then a 3200g

The GPU portion will def be the limiter

In all games

[little leaf]

my list is the best new

but you can get much better used

[little osprey]

Ur list is meh lol

[little leaf]

how ?

the 1650s is the best you can get at the price

3100 is the same

b550 is future proof

[cursive wharf]

need to be lvl3 to post links #ranks-and-levels

[little osprey]

Needs a cheaper mobo, SSD is too much for this budget, and 8gb ram is probably fine

[little leaf]

he said he is getting a new pc after

[autumn gate]

why cant i send my build

[little leaf]

the b550 is to future proof

the ssd is fine

why get less ram when you can have more?

but

[cursive wharf]

@autumn gate already said why, you need to by lvl3 to post links #roles #ranks-and-levels

[little osprey]

Well of they upgrading into the same PC then yeah keep it b550

I guess.. iuno

[autumn gate]

oh sorry sorry

[little leaf]

The said that this pc would be temp

[cursive wharf]

@little osprey the things you cheap out on wont give enough leeway for something better

[little osprey]

No but itl bring him closer to the actual budget

Without effecting performance much

[little leaf]

ok I"ll bring it down 20 dollars easy

[little osprey]

A quad core and low end GPU is fine for 8 gb, and at a 500$ budget, just get a hard drive and call it a day, I'm sure they want more then 500gb

[little leaf]

He said 500-600

[little osprey]

That's like two games now

[autumn gate]

im only using the pc for online class and editing playing csgo hehe

[still roost]

Old_SnakeTwitch#8147 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

Old_SnakeTwitch#8147 has been banned

Reason: Too many infractions

[unban]

[cursive wharf]

well then

[little leaf]

what lmao

[errant berry]

dang

[autumn gate]

bruh

[little osprey]

[unban]

[cursive wharf]

wont do anything tho

[fast dust]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/NrvRQq new build for 699
@little leaf 1650 non super?

[little leaf]

@fast dust acident

Searched 1650s

Instead of filtered it

The list after is better

[fast dust]

oh cool

[little osprey]

1650 non super is oof

I still don't know why the card isn't discontinued lmao

[vital warren]

no 1050ti bad

poo

[little osprey]

1050 ti isn't still better than 1650?

from what I've seen it's still poop compared to 1650 super

[deep skiff]

1650 is still the best option if you dont have any power connectors and just the pcie power

[kind flax]

what are chipsets for on mobo

[unborn solstice]

a chipset is different than a socket. a socket is the size/shape/layout of a particular cpu. the chipset is what is offered with that. however, each chipset (ex. z490) is specific to a socket type (ex. LGA1200) @kind flax

chipset can sometimes determine features like slot gen and whatnot. however these things can also be throttled by a cpu

[kind flax]

yah

[unborn solstice]

for example the z490 chipset supports pcie 4.0 but the current compatible cpu (intel 10th gen) does not

[kind flax]

the reason im asking is cuz i have a b350m mobo

and I was looking at b550m

and seeing the features they offer

and if its worth upgrading it

[unborn solstice]

what are you looking for? is it something like more ram compatibility or slot gen?

[kind flax]

yuhhh

both?

[little osprey]

Omg

@fast dust I made $190 net gain from that RX 480 R7 2700 PC

You were right r7 is a good selling point

xD

[fast dust]

cool

[wanton river]

anyone still using a 580?

[little leaf]

Yes

Decent card

1080p gaming fine

2k no go

[timber grotto]

@wanton river Have an RX570 infront of me going into a customers build tomorrow/thursday when the rest of parts ship lol. 2nd one I've used in builds this month cause they're great cards for the price.

[wanton river]

no i mean a gtx5890

gtx 580

lol

[little leaf]

Oh I ser

No the 580

Is not good

[wanton river]

yea ik

but im thinking of getting a 1080

[little leaf]

Wait for rtx 3000

[errant berry]

mhm

[unborn solstice]

i want a 3080ti

im willing to spend $1000-1200 on a gpu but im not paying for the stupid 3090

and so far it looks like there is no 80ti

[errant berry]

dang

just get the 3090

[unborn solstice]

but the 90 is titan comparable which doesnt really help with gaming for a higher cost. i would just wait til release and watch reviews but i want it asap

[errant berry]

good point

[unborn solstice]

eh screw it. ill pick up a few extra shifts and get the 90

[errant berry]

lmaoo

[rigid ibex]

My cpu is not Turning on with one power supply but with the other it is.But the problem is my gpu turns off the power supply that the cpu will not work on is a Corsair rm 850x anyone have any ideas?

[errant berry]

if youre going to pay 1400 might as well

[desert gulch]

What cpu @rigid ibex

[robust plover]

I ordered my pc parts today big hype

[digital pecan]

@high chasm um ur cpu cooler is sideways

[high chasm]

no it aint lmao

i just didnt re orient the screen

that pic was taken before i downloaded cam

[digital pecan]

thats what i meant

[errant berry]

so if i wanted to sell my pc and build a new one, is there a way i can save all my downloads?

idk if this is a build chat thing

[high chasm]

create a system image

[errant berry]

whats that

[high chasm]

youtue iot

[errant berry]

ok

but it would be bad if i just took the m.2 drive out?

[high chasm]

oh

uh

[errant berry]

and replaced it with a hdd

[high chasm]

🤷‍♂️

[errant berry]

lol

thanks for the help tho

[zenith cedar]

If I was thinking about building a new pc around this time, would I wanna just wait for amd 4000 series and GeForce 3000 series to come out? Or just one or the other, any ideas on that?

[errant berry]

id wait

[high chasm]

amd 4000

[errant berry]

ye

[high chasm]

amd 5000!

[errant berry]

lol

thatll be interesting to see

[zenith cedar]

Lmaooo and gotcha thanks

[errant berry]

but a while from now

[zenith cedar]

Are they gonna release a new line of motherboards for when 4009 series comes around, how does that work exactly?

*4000

[still roost]

threadripper titan rtx#0001 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[high chasm]

the reason i bought a titan is so i dont need to upgrade to 3000 series, or just my excuse to put the titan in my i9 rig and buy the 3000 titan for this

[errant berry]

i think its compatible with the older boards

i have a b450 and im pretty sure theyre planning to make it work with it

[zenith cedar]

That’s what I heard, it was like some b450s and all b550s or something like that

Wasn’t sure cuz I couldn’t find much about it

[errant berry]

yea

[small heron]

@zenith cedar lol just bought a pc for about 200 more than it would norm be

[zenith cedar]

Lmaooo that’s tough, hope you like it tho

[small heron]

Havent even bought the gpu yet 😎

[errant berry]

dang

[weary bluff]

how long do you think we have to wait for the i9 10th gen to go back down to $530? should i just buy my i7 10th gen now

[rigid ibex]

@desert gulch i9 10900k

[little leaf]

@weary bluff dont buy a 10900k

Are your just gaming

If so get a 10600k

And oc it

[weary bluff]

i want to game and stream. I'm either gettingi7 or i9 but idk if i should buy rn or wait

[little leaf]

Wait

Ehat gpu will you pari with it?

@weary bluff go amd if you plan to pair it with a 3080 or 3090

[weary bluff]

prob a 3000 series

I'd rather stay intel tho

[little leaf]

Then go amd

What is your total budget

[weary bluff]

around 3k ig

[little leaf]

Yes then get amd

[weary bluff]

i would prefer to stay intel

why should amd be paired with 3080?

[little leaf]

Pcie gen 4

[cursive wharf]

are you going 240Hz display?

if not then Intel is a waste

[tropic cape]

@weary bluff i like both but if you wanna stream and game amd is where its at.

[cursive wharf]

not really, you'll be doing NVENC encoder so CPU wont matter that much

[little leaf]

I eould just use amd for the pcie gen 4

[tropic cape]

amd still has better speeds in everything else... except gaming and strictly gaming by minimal amounts

if i was making a rig for JUST gaming id do intel

[deep skiff]

eh intel still has a decent lead in gaming in mid-high end

[tropic cape]

...

what benchmarks do you use

[cursive wharf]

gaming+streaming is basically same perf as gaming alone if you have a Nvidia GPU. If you plan to go for pure FPS, intel can win by a decent amount

OC core/ring and 4000MT/s CL16 memory

[tropic cape]

this may have changed but the last time i checked benchmarks amd was leading and not by a little i still like intel though

i just have to give cred where cred is do

[deep skiff]

https://www.gamersnexus.net/hwreviews/3592-intel-i5-10600k-cpu-review-benchmarks-ryzen-5-3600-et-al

[cursive wharf]

That's because those benchs werent testing for pure FPS people, like people who do major comp stuff

[weary bluff]

im gonna buy intel i just want to know if i should buy an i7-10k or wait for i9-10k to go down

[cursive wharf]

As in, 240Hz+

where you start to lower settings

[weary bluff]

144hz

[deep skiff]

amd is usually a better choice at gaming but intel still has a lead

[little leaf]

Pcie grn 4

[cursive wharf]

So basically, if you have a high budget and are doing truly comp FPS then go Intel as you'd notice the difference. If not, then AMD

[tropic cape]

@weary bluff if your worried about price go with the i7

[little leaf]

Go amd

Pcie gen 4

[cursive wharf]

Go IBM

[weary bluff]

.-.

[deep skiff]

go sketchy chinese cpu brand

[weary bluff]

at this point ima just put a potato in my mobo

[tropic cape]

i read the article a little and that seemed fair only...at that budget why not go with the r7 3700x or r5 3600x.

@weary bluff what gpu

[weary bluff]

most likely a 3000 series

[tropic cape]

same my pc isnt finished yet

[cursive wharf]

3080(Ti)?

[deep skiff]

id also suggest going with a 3600, but i linked that to say that intel is a decent amount ahead if money isnt really a priority

[weary bluff]

no ti prob too much

[cursive wharf]

focus on GPU before CPU

[tropic cape]

i have an r7 3700x (first time ive gone amd

[weary bluff]

ill get something around $600

[tropic cape]

and im wiating for the 3000 series

i think 600 is close to the 3080

[cursive wharf]

no, dont go Intel then

[little leaf]

@weary bluff lmao 600

[cursive wharf]

go AMD and add $200 to your GPU budget

[little leaf]

And u want a 10900k

[tropic cape]

what should i do with this crap ive been given it has an i5-6500 no gpu 8 gigs ddr4 ram at 2400

[cursive wharf]

sell it

[tropic cape]

its stupid filthy too

[deep skiff]

^

[tropic cape]

i wouold have to clean it and replace the case

[deep skiff]

if you cant use it at least try to make money off it

[tropic cape]

i would probably loose money

[cursive wharf]

not if you do it right

cough rip people off cough

[tropic cape]

....

no no hes got a point

label it as a gaming pc XD

[cursive wharf]

basically: clean it up, add some cheap colored LEDs, profit

[tropic cape]

maybe

if i sold it like i should id only make maybe 100 bucks profit

id send pictures of it but you know

[cursive wharf]

buy a used RX470 for like $80, three RGB fans for $30, and sell it for like $450 - $550

[tropic cape]

i couldnt do that to anybody

especialy because im at a point in this where my reviews matter

[little leaf]

Sell it on ebay

Or use new acc

[tropic cape]

tru

[spiral zealot]

i flipped an i5-6500 Dell build with a 750Ti for $350

someone out there will buy whatever you put together

[tropic cape]

im not big on selling people who dont know hat they're buying somehting i know is crap

[spiral zealot]

and i flipped an i7-6700, non K, with 16GB ram and an RX 570 for $550, just threw it in a white fractal case with some white ring LED's

the i5-6500 would be a solid machine with a GPU upgrade, so for $350 plus $100 on ebay, they have a solid 1080p machine

[tropic cape]

i understand that but 500 might be a little overkill. especially for a machine id have about 200 in

well I've got business in the morning ima head out

[errant berry]

i dont see the issue with selling like that

if they pay extra, they need to do the research

so they can get a good deal

[fast dust]

Hey guys ive talked about this issue before but have no idea where to even go from here
On this new, freshly built system, i can install windows just fine, but, after about a few minutes or so while in windows, my screen flickers, then the PC restarts, and windows goes into recovery mode. Cant get back into windows.
I've tried using a different hard drive, different ram, different PSU, different motherboard, different windows install usbs, but not matter what, nothing seems to work.
Anybody know what could possibly be causing this issue? Maybe walk me through some troubleshooting steps?
Thanks so much for anyone who helps.
Specs:
FX-6100
1x8gb DDR3
Asus Strix GTX 960 2gb
EVGA 450 BR
Adata SU630 240gb
Asus M5A78L-MLXPLUS

[errant berry]

well

naturally when im discussing something on here you add to it something that is hella factual and something i didnt know so i dont think i can help

[cursive wharf]

you didnt say if you tried diff CPU

[fast dust]

oh, i did not

[errant berry]

yea

[fast dust]

i do have an athlon X2 II 270 or smth i can try out

[errant berry]

id try that

[cursive wharf]

if you changed so much stuff, most likely CPU

[undone dust]

uninstall and reinstall windows

[fast dust]

i am praying with all my heart the CPU sint the problem. I would like, cry or somwthing, if it is

[cursive wharf]

that or case is shorting something random

idk

[errant berry]

is that cpu expensive?

[fast dust]

uninstall and reinstall windows
I have easily done this 10+ times

[cursive wharf]

try 20+ times?

[fast dust]

that or case is shorting something random
im testing it outside of the case rn

[cursive wharf]

test bench or smth?

[fast dust]

is that cpu expensive?
not really. FX-6100. like pretty old. people just overprice them cause it has "six cores"

[cursive wharf]

"six" cores rather

[errant berry]

oh

[fast dust]

""""""""Six"""""""

[cursive wharf]

yeah p much

[vital warren]

when my "six" core processor has 3

[errant berry]

so you have no warranty for it if its broken

[fast dust]

yes. bought all used. and it just so happens that the only thing i cant return/replace readily is the CPU

[cursive wharf]

F

[errant berry]

dang that sucks

[undone dust]

F

[fast dust]

trying new cpu rn

[errant berry]

ok

[fast dust]

does this board even support this CPU?

lemme check

[undone dust]

lol

[fast dust]

ok phew it does

i didnt want to have to gut my other system to get the athlon 245 thats in there

[errant berry]

so its the cpu?

[fast dust]

that seems like the best bet as to what it is right now

but im testing to see if it is

[errant berry]

dang that sucks

[fast dust]

Wish me luck

[errant berry]

that cpu fan looks sick tho

[fast dust]

yes it is sick for the price

just a little loud sadly

[errant berry]

what is it?

[fast dust]

Darkflash Darkvoid

$14 on eBay

[errant berry]

my gpu fans can mask it lol

thats pretty good

[fast dust]

100w advertised TDP

i just dont get how a CPU could bork up windows so bad but whatever

worth a try anyways

[errant berry]

yea

[wary geode]

yams whats happening

[fast dust]

same PC

[wary geode]

@fast dust

oh dag

[fast dust]

that i had trouble with before yeah

read up

[wary geode]

imma work on my ram things ina bit

[fast dust]

cool

[wary geode]

what havent you tried so far

[fast dust]

CPU. thats what im trying now

and GPU

but i highly doubt it'd be that. that's a last resort

[wary geode]

welp good luck

[fast dust]

thanks

[wary geode]

my aio is coming in 2 days at least

[fast dust]

good for you

[wary geode]

so hyped free aio

[fast dust]

im in windows

just gotta leave it at teh desktop

and wait

wait until it either crashes or like 30 minutes

[errant berry]

how'd you get a free aio @wary geode

[fast dust]

unethical methods

[wary geode]

i got this okay so mercari new account 5$ i sent a link from my main 10$ off 5$ to post 20$ after the fist purchease 20$ to myself the aio is 37 mercari gave me 10$

yes unethical ill say

[errant berry]

well it is what it is

still a free aio

[wary geode]

not to mention got 5$ off for using paypal so i got another thing in my account

so i got paid 12.75$ and i get a coolermaster v2

[errant berry]

lmaoo

that worked out well

does that still work?

[wary geode]

yep

exactly

its pretty new he used it for 2 motnhs

[errant berry]

that isnt bad

[fast dust]

welp

it happened again

with a different CPU

how

the heck

ughhhh

ok ill come back to this tomorrow

[errant berry]

is it possible the windows 10 is bad

idk if thats a thing

[fast dust]

I’ve tried recreating the usb 3 times and on 2 different flash drives

The only bing left is GPU

Gonna try to replace GPU

Then as a last resort

Try installing win 10 home instead of pro

[errant berry]

what are you getting windows from?

idk if that would affect it

[fast dust]

The windows website duh

[errant berry]

lol just gotta make sure

[fast dust]

Lol i done even know where else I’d get it

[errant berry]

im sure there are other areas

well idk what is wrong

its hard to thing its a gpu issue

i did have an issue like this

where i set the speed of my ram accidentally higher than what i bought

[fast dust]

That’s weird

[errant berry]

yea

[fast dust]

My ram is running at stock 1600 or 1333MHz in bios. Can’t remember which

[errant berry]

gotcha

[fast dust]

And I’ve tried clearing CMOS, so that resets BIOS to default so that can’t be the issue

[errant berry]

ok

bruh thats so weird

it seems like youve gone through all the possible issues

[fast dust]

Seriously

[wary geode]

like i said i had issues with gpus where compalibilty is a issue

[fast dust]

So I’m gonna do my last resort tries

[wary geode]

its weird i know but it oes happemn

[fast dust]

Yeah gonna throw a 650TI or 8600 GTS in there so it basically has guaranteed support

[wary geode]

i can explain futhermore if youd like but it probably wont make sense

i know a fair mount about gpus and its a internal issue

its the thing i most confident with

i mainly just know the things that make up them i dont focus on internal tinkering

[errant berry]

im confident in what parts go into a pc

lol

[fast dust]

Gonna try those things tomorrow -_-

Hopefully gonna have a lot of free time tomorrow cause online school is wacky

[errant berry]

facts

[wary geode]

i dont have school

well "office hours"

[errant berry]

im jealous

ap physics got me all types of confused

[wary geode]

oof

chemistry is putting blocks together

im in kindergarden

ok imma test my things now and file a rma

[unborn solstice]

@errant berry which ap physics are u in?

[little osprey]

Another friend of mine is thinking about getting a $500-600 starter PC build

Any good lists?

Me in geometry and biology lol

[unborn solstice]

good for u guys btw. i started college with 31 ap credits and its a huge boost. they even gave me a small scholarship because i was a good student or something

[still mesa]

hey

i’m building a pc rn

i need help urgent

can someone?

[unborn solstice]

yes?

[still mesa]

look

[unborn solstice]

ooh paper

[still mesa]

i’m trying to install my water cooking but

[little osprey]

@unborn solstice any good 500-600 builds?

[still mesa]

the part on top (last picture) is too big to fit in there

[errant berry]

@errant berry which ap physics are u in?
@unborn solstice im in the base class but kinematics already messing me up lol

[still mesa]

but the other similar part on the manual does fits but it says it’s not supposed to be there

what should i do?

[unborn solstice]

i have a $800 build im making for my cousin i could recise

revise*

kinematics is nice because everything works off of each other. once u get to e&m stuff gets a bit wild

[errant berry]

but you went in to college with 31 ap credits

[little osprey]

Ok koo Koo that would be good

[errant berry]

like

i didnt even know you could take that many

[unborn solstice]

ill let u in on a secret

ap foreign languages are the best

15 credits from spanish alone

[errant berry]

if only my school had an ap japanese class

if that even exists

but thats a lot

[zenith cedar]

There’s an ap exam for it that you could register for still I’m pretty sure

[errant berry]

ah

[unborn solstice]

depends on the college youre looking at

you should check their website first

@little osprey i dont really have much bc most of the stuff might change depending on new gpu prices

[little osprey]

Oh I see

[unborn solstice]

@still mesa that part in the pic looks like the one that goes on the back just to cover the exposed back of the mobo

[little osprey]

Ye I totally forgot lol my b @unborn solstice

[unborn solstice]

i really hope people are getting my name

its amperes law

[little osprey]

What's the meaning? I need an explanation

[unborn solstice]

ampere is who the new 3000 series gpus are named after. just like turing and pascal

[little osprey]

I sed

See*

[wary geode]

Can

[viral ore]

Can

[foggy hazel]

@still mesa you found a solution?

if not: then here is how you fit that retention bracket: First, the inner holes (closest to the CPU) are where the bolts go.

Second: It is put in from the back of the board (just in case that isnt clear)

note: the reason it currently doesnt align is because your bolts are in the position for the old 1366 socket.

[still mesa]

yeaa i did

but i need help again

i am trying to put my radiator of my water cooling there but my RAM won’t let it because there’s not enough space

what can i do?

[desert gulch]

Put the rad on the front

@still mesa

^

[still mesa]

There are other fans of the case that won’t let me

[little leaf]

Movr them then

[still mesa]

Got it

I put them in the front

with both my case fans and the radiator fans

[fading acorn]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/4pGxp8

rate it

[earnest olive]

@fading acorn paying nvme prices for non nvme m.2 ssd?

[spiral zealot]

why 4133 cl19?

[earnest olive]

spending $113 on case fans for a 3600 and 2060S?

[spiral zealot]

on a 3600?

[earnest olive]

C tier psu

monitor seems overpriced for what it offers

my 1440p 165hz monitor was barely more expensive than that

also

spending $113 on fans just to get a case with poor airflow

at least get the mesh version of it

and yeah you won't be able to hit 4133mhz ram in coupled mode on basically any 3600

but it'll probably manual tune down to like 3800 cl16

[vital warren]

just get a td500 mesh

[fading acorn]

it is mesh version

[unkempt jolt]

From reading around, I read that any 10th gen intel core CPU will support 128gb of ram to include the I3 and I5 m. Is this correct?

[rough loom]

10th gens already out

as for the mobo

[unkempt jolt]

???? Which 10th gens??? The I5, I7s or the I9s??

[rough loom]

I cant even find the max ram cap

i7 and up supports faster ram up to 2933 mhz

i5 supports 2666. but i cant find anything that states max usuable capacity

[unkempt jolt]

Yea that’s why I’m a little confused, don’t want to get a cpu more powerful than I intent to build up the other components but also don’t want to get something too weak but the ram I’m looking to getting to

[rough loom]

I mean an i7 is usually pretty safe

they arent too expensive and give good performance

most ram in a standard desktop config i hear is like 64 gigs

[unkempt jolt]

Thanks I’ll probably go with that, is unlocked a must? I don’t think I have the know how to overclock it myself right now

[rough loom]

so beyond that is unknown for desktop rigs unless you go high end desktop

Unlocked gives alot more flexability

[unkempt jolt]

I just got a motherboard that supports 128 so that’s what I’m looking at for the memories

[rough loom]

allright. yea thats why I mentioned mobo earlier. I had thought it was a motherboard limit

[little osprey]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/zQwyJb

good build?

[rough loom]

but unlocked i7 is what i would personally choose

unless you wanted to go amd

depending what your doing

[unkempt jolt]

I think the intel I7 will be good enough. Upgrading from an office desktop turned gaming desktop that only runs 16gb of ram so anything better than that is an upgrade for me

[rough loom]

than yea. unlocked i7. unless your doing some high end editing or something i wouldnt go more than 32 gigs ram

[little leaf]

@little osprey ssd over priced

@unkempt jolt lmao all game only use like 8-10 gigs of ram

Ram is not deciding factor in gaming

[little osprey]

I mean all of this stuff has been made and bought already

[little leaf]

Most you need for gaming is 16

@unkempt jolt if you get a i7 10700k and anything lower than a 2080ti

I will be very

Very

Disappointed

Also games only need 16gbs of ram idk what your on

The cpu and gpu are definitely the thing holding u back

[little osprey]

better water it a lil like your other plants

[safe heart]

Bois I need some help i think I’m gonna start upgrading my pc and I’m starting with my cpu and gpu, I’m thinking about getting the AMD Ryzen 5 3600X 6-Core as a cpu and a AMD Radeon RED Dragon RX 580 8GB GDDR5 1 x DL as a gpu

Idk which chat to put this in cus one is gpu and the other is cpu but yerrr

Also my budget is limited and I’m not super techy

[unborn solstice]

2 questions

how much are u willing to spend and what do u use this pc for?

@safe heart

[safe heart]

Gaming and video editing and around a total of 500

I’m at school atm so I’d tell you my current specs but idk them off the top of my head

[shrewd tundra]

@safe heart do you focus more on gaming or editing?

[safe heart]

Gaming

But I also need to run première rly well too

[shrewd tundra]

if your gaming more just get a ryzen 5 3600

and a 1650

[little osprey]

500$ for processor+gpu?

[shrewd tundra]

i think so

[safe heart]

Ye frous

[little osprey]

1650 is bad lmao

[shrewd tundra]

ik

but his budget

[safe heart]

I’m pretty sure rn I have a 1660

[shrewd tundra]

wait

so you alr have a pc

[safe heart]

Not sure if that’s tru doe

[little osprey]

a ryzen 3600 is like 200 bucks with the rest 300 you can get a 1660 super

[safe heart]

Yeah

[little osprey]

he's not building from ground up lmao

[shrewd tundra]

oh nvm

[little osprey]

he said processor and gpu

lmfao

what processor you have rn?

[safe heart]

Idk off the top of my head I’m at school atm

[little osprey]

oh lol

[shrewd tundra]

treat your pc with more respect

[little osprey]

if you have a ryzen 5 3600 then you should probably just get a 2070 non-super lmao

[shrewd tundra]

isnt a 5700xt better?

its cheaper

[little osprey]

dunno

all I know 2070 is all around better for streaming too

2060 is $400 and is beaten by 5700xt but 2070 can contest it pretty well

[midnight vine]

so you should then pair your ryzen 5 3600 with 2070 SUPER?

[little osprey]

ryzen 5 3600 basically does for most gpus

[shrewd tundra]

pairing amd with amd feels better tbh

but a 5700xt is a better choice instaed of a 2070

[stoic island]

If you don't stream

[safe heart]

Brb I gotta pay attention in class

[stoic island]

5700xt > 2070 in gaming perf

[midnight vine]

will 2070 SUPER be better for rendering, video editing, and stuff?

[shrewd tundra]

he doesnt stream

he just stated gaming and video edititng

[stoic island]

2070s beats 5700xt overall

Anyways

[unborn solstice]

guys he said $500

[stoic island]

Wait for Nvidia 3rd gen

[unborn solstice]

for both

[shrewd tundra]

the prices are alr leaked

my waller aint big enough

[stoic island]

You just need to wait like 5 days

[unborn solstice]

other prices will drop

[stoic island]

Leaks doesn't mean the truth

[shrewd tundra]

ram and ssd will drop maybe

[stoic island]

Prices on the new market likely won't drop

GPU wise

Used market maybe

[shrewd tundra]

i rather wait for big navi tbh

[midnight vine]

i was planning to buy a GPU that is good for video editing and stuffs..

[shrewd tundra]

just wait

[stoic island]

Big Navi can't say crap until consoles come

They prob signed stuff with consoles

[unborn solstice]

video editing is a highly intensive cpu task

[stoic island]

Can have GPU Accel too tho.

[unborn solstice]

i watched one of your yt videos and the recordings were sometimes in like 3 fps

[stoic island]

Both CPU and GPU needs to be good.

[unborn solstice]

well yes but just watch a vid and youll see

[stoic island]

Oh the gameplay was 3fps?

[unborn solstice]

indeed

[midnight vine]

i don't think i have the budget for the big navi and 3000 series though

[shrewd tundra]

big navi prices arent leaked yet

[little osprey]

if your pc is already decent enough just wait a bit for the rtx 3000 series cards to release

[shrewd tundra]

and the leaks migh not be true

[stoic island]

Didn't you say you can spend 500$ on a GPU? 3060 is almost certainly under 500$

[midnight vine]

i am thinking about having ryzen 5 3600 with 2070 SUPER as of the moment

[stoic island]

Just wait til 3000 series

[midnight vine]

will that work for video editing and stuffs?

🙂

[stoic island]

It's what 5 days until the announcement

Might be a good idea to grab a 3700x for editing

[midnight vine]

okay.. will try to wait this september

but 3700 is way more expensive than 3600 and i can't afford that much

[stoic island]

But every generation typically moves up a step, so the 400$ 2060 card was about the same as the 500$ 1070 card, and the 400$ 2060 super card was about the same as the 500$ 2070 card

Just saying

Btw what's total budget

I'll make a list

@midnight vine what's your current PC, and how much are you willing to spend?

[midnight vine]

currently i have i5-7400 with 1050Ti and am planning to buy an Ryzen 5 3600 with 2070 SUPER

[stoic island]

What are you willing to spend

And what else is in the PC

You can't just slap a 3600 into a lga1151 motherboard

Or expect a 2070 super to run off some 300w psu

So more information would be nice

[midnight vine]

i already bought a mobo that's good for AMD 3rd gen at most then a 750W PSU

i am just concerned with what processor and GPU to buy

[stoic island]

There's a lot of things people can overlook

[analog hearth]

Ryzen 3 (2+?) shouldn’t be that much of an improvement, btw

[stoic island]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

For editing Zen 2 would be better already so

I mean 6c12t vs 4c4t isn't even a competition

@midnight vine anyways I'm also interested in the ram

Ryzen likes much faster ram than Intel

What motherboard?

[midnight vine]

Asus TUF B450M Plus since it is the only available mobo we have here as of the moment

[stoic island]

And what ram?

[midnight vine]

I have 8GB 3200MHz RAM x 2 sticks

[stoic island]

Yea try to get at some crucial 3600c16 2x8 GB kits

[midnight vine]

and go with 3700x?

[shrewd tundra]

your forgetting rgb >:c

[tropic cape]

i need some help. my cooler master h500 case came with 2x 200mm rgb fans but they run on 5v ARGB (3 pin) and my mobo only has 4 pin. i could just run my cpu cooler off my mobo but then they wouldnt match the fans 100% and that would bug me. is there some 5v ARGB controller that uses usb so i could run everything off of that or what should i do i need help first time ive ran into this issue i thought 4pin 12v was standard XD

[stoic island]

@midnight vine yea sorry was gone, 3700x is better for editing.

[buoyant flame]

I haven't seen any usb adapter that could do that. Your case should of come with a little sata powered argb switch for the front fans tho

[tropic cape]

it does thats what im using it just doesnt match my cpu cooler or ram

none of my rgb is in sync right now and it doesnt help that polychrome sync doesnt detect my ram

[errant berry]

isnt 4 pin connectors able to take 3 pins too

[tropic cape]

i just built this and its not complete yet waiting for that 3000 series but i want my rgb in order

[stoic island]

@errant berry not rgb

[tropic cape]

@errant berry no it cant@

[buoyant flame]

Ya, I ran my pc like that for a while until I upgraded motherboards. I think it might be possible to get a 3 pin argb to 4 pin rgb cabel, however the fans will only be able to run as rgb fans

[stoic island]

RGB 3 pin is 5v

[tropic cape]

ive already looked into that it wouldnt work

[stoic island]

4 pin is 12v

[plain cloak]

How much would a home-built server cost

[stoic island]

Anyways something like this?
https://www.coolermaster.com/catalog/coolers/rgb-accessories/argb-led-small-controller/#image-Item2

Some quick googling

[tropic cape]

how would i be able to get that to sync with my cpu/ram

[stoic island]

3pin DC fan plugs into 4pin pwm fan header just fine

Software should work

I'm on mobile atm so can't easily check

[buoyant flame]

Same

[stoic island]

Okay according to product page there's "1 cable to sync with motherboard"

[tropic cape]

that has a usb plugin couldnt i take that connect my fans to it, but use the usb control and do the same with my cpu so they all run off of my mobo

i plan on doing liquid cooling soon i just have to get a little more cash

[stoic island]

Liquid cooling isn't always the best :D

[tropic cape]

i know

[stoic island]

I love my Noctua d15

[tropic cape]

but im using a stock cooler

ive seen where the higher end noctuas cool the cpu better than the best luiquid cooler its more so that the luiquid cooler also acts as fans to help cool the rest of my build

and if i ever wanted to sell people are more likely to pay a premium for liquid cooling

[stoic island]

You know that the rad slows the airflow right

Anyways you do you, people like buying kewl watercooling

[tropic cape]

only if you take normal fans off for the rad

but yes im aware that is has less airflow than standard fans

[stoic island]

Rad is resistance

Anyways just don't get like a 150$ 280mm aio and that'll be fine

[tropic cape]

im not

[stoic island]

Arctic freezer ii is amazing for the price

[tropic cape]

i was thinking about the cooler master ml240 v2

[stoic island]

That's the cheap one I haven't looked into so I dunno

[tropic cape]

anything is better than a stock cooler though

[stoic island]

Arctic freezer II remains my suggestion for any and all AIO needs

[tropic cape]

i understand that

i still want to know what to do about my rgb XD

[stoic island]

I'm always perf > looks

If you want a good looking build, I'm not the person you want in chat >:D

[tropic cape]

im big perf vs build

its moreso that my case came with the rgb and amd stock cooler has rgb so if its there i want it to look normal

i just want it all a solid purple

ive gotta do more work ill be back later

[earnest olive]

I can understand wanting to spend on aesthetics

but some people are really ridiculous about it

no, your ryzen 5 3400G doesn't need a custom loop and $200 of rgb case fans

[errant berry]

lmao facts

[earnest olive]

I've had customers demand rgb fans and strips in a $300 build and I'm just like... no

you can have a $300 build that runs games and looks basic... or you can have a $300 build that looks fancy and barely runs windows 7

[errant berry]

lol

is it ok to have rgb in a 1k build?

[earnest olive]

yeah absolutely

I wouldn't go for $200 of corsair rgb case fans

but led strips for sure

you can get 2 for $17 and a motherboard that belongs in a $1k build is likely to have an rgb header

if you really want RGB fans the most cost effective way is to go for a case like P400A or TD500 mesh

[stoic island]

It's okay

[earnest olive]

both really solid cases for $100 that come with 3 argb fans and a controller

[stoic island]

but not amazing for rgb <1000$

[earnest olive]

the value of the fans alone are like $50 probably

[errant berry]

I wouldn't go for $200 of corsair rgb case fans
@earnest olive ya those fans are a waste i got the deepcool cf120

its like 50 for a 3 pack

and its the ones that came with my case

[earnest olive]

I'm a bigger fan of led strips

they provide the most light for the least money

[stoic island]

well

[errant berry]

true

[stoic island]

the rgb fans hei usually suggest from asiahorse is like 30$ for 3 fans

[earnest olive]

$17 of led strips is enough to light up the whole PC like a display case

[errant berry]

they seem messy tho if you dont know how to manage the cables

i dont

so thats why i just went with the fans

[earnest olive]

do your fans come with merged cables

the ones in the td500 come with a fan splitter and rgb header splitter so you only need 1 of each header

[errant berry]

i think there was

but i didnt use it bc my motherboard had enough connections

[fleet portal]

Motherboard - MSI x570 Tomahawk Wifi
CPU- Ryzen 9 3900x

im just looking for help finding out if one of the nzxt kraken cpu coolers is compatable.

[keen shale]

oh you cant post links

[foggy hazel]

look at the nzxt website @fleet portal

[errant berry]

im sure it is tho

should be at least

[foggy hazel]

those two statements do not align.

[errant berry]

what

[foggy hazel]

basically, if you dont know. dont say. :)

[little osprey]

What's the most expensive pc ever created?

[foggy hazel]

something we dont know about.

[little osprey]

hmmmmmm

[foggy hazel]

think about it like this: The definition of PC is different to people. And as an example: a Epyc or Xeon build used in some cornercase workflow for someones private setup. would most likely take the price for THIS generation.

[errant berry]

what's an epyc

[foggy hazel]

server cpu from AMD

this gives you an idea @errant berry

[errant berry]

my god 64 cores

[earnest olive]

8P xeon system is going to be way more expensive for sure

[little osprey]

new ssd or new ram

[ripe quest]

ssd\

well

[foggy hazel]

which again loops back to the "Definition" staement above @earnest olive

[ripe quest]

actually depends on how fast ur. ram is and how much storage ur ssd has

@little osprey

[little osprey]

can't use XMP on my ram and i have a 2tb hard

different brands of ram

[ripe quest]

oh

[little osprey]

and speeds

[ripe quest]

new ram

for sure

[earnest olive]

if you don't have an ssd

then go ssd

[ripe quest]

no

he has different speed ram and different brand ram

i would reccomend he go that route

[earnest olive]

still less important than having an ssd

also you can use XMP with mismatched RAM

[ripe quest]

and get like a 256 gig ssd with the leftover money

[earnest olive]

it'll just copy the lowest speed and loosest timings out of all of the modules

[little osprey]

@earnest olive i tried it just crashs its some green stick 8gb with 2x8 corsair vengeance

just gon get new ram

[earnest olive]

take out the 8gb green stick?

what do you need 24gb ram for

[little osprey]

minecraft

[ripe quest]

bruh

get a new ssd and take out the green stick

ur rarely gonna use all 16 gigs

[little osprey]

idk man rust and minecraft

[earnest olive]

idk i had no problem running minecraft server with 16gb

[ripe quest]

yeah same

[earnest olive]

minecraft uses like what 4gb? lol

[little osprey]

vanilla is for nerds

modded

[ripe quest]

minecraft runs well on laptops

well then...

idk

[earnest olive]

i ran modded minecraft server on a laptop with 8gb ram

z

[ripe quest]

get the ssd for windows and minecraft

[still roost]

Mando#4221 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[little osprey]

@still roost no you

[ripe quest]

check ur ram usage while running minecraft and if it really uses all 16 gigs all the time then get 2 new sticks

and if it doesnt get an ssd

@little osprey

[little osprey]

anybody got any suggetions, i wanna put up any rgb strip but i dont want to ruin my wall/ moniters finish

vinyl wrap to protect the monitors finish and a light adhesive tape should be fine for your wall @little osprey

[little osprey]

Thx

[hearty scarab]

Having trouble POSTing a pretty simple PC build and not sure what to try next.

I've built a few custom PCs, so it's not my first, but I'm not an expert or even close.

I'm reusing an old HP pavilion case, and putting in a Gigabyte B450M DS3H with a Ryzen 3200G, a single 8GB DDR4 3600.

Using a new 500W PSU and a 256GB SSD, and a GTX 1050 for graphics that I already had and have tested.

Sometimes the system doesn't even power on (i.e., no fans, no motherboard lights). But if it does then I get nothing on the monitor. I am using the GPU HDMI on my normal work monitor that I know works. There is an orange light on the motherboard, and it's solid which I think is a good sign, though the manual doesn't specify. There are no beeps on the motherboard either. (I do know that a blinking orange light is probably bad - I had that happen after doing a test of moving the RAM to a different slot as well as trying to boot without the GPU).

Not sure what to do or try next. Any suggestions?

[little leaf]

@hearty scarab well the orange light is standard looks for the board make aure everything is pulgged in so it isnt shorting and make sure the psu switxh is on

[hearty scarab]

Yup - PSU turned on - and once the fans/lights startup then nothing else happens. Everything seems solidly plugged in.

[little leaf]

Clear cmos

[final orchid]

im looking for a graphics card that does not require external power, aka PCI power. in the 100-120 dollar range. does anyone have any recommendations

[errant berry]

what even is that card lol

[hearty scarab]

Tried clearing CMOS, nothing changed.

[errant berry]

ive never heard of that

[stoic island]

GTX 1650 @final orchid

[final orchid]

ok ill look at that card

[stoic island]

Oof prices are higher than expected

It's like 150...

[final orchid]

its about 140 on amazon for the ddr5

[errant berry]

so is a pci card just any normal card

[final orchid]

do you think this card could run ms flight simulator

[errant berry]

like it goes in a pcie slot

[stoic island]

Uhh

[errant berry]

probably low

very low

[stoic island]

None of the no-external-power cards are particularly powerful

It's above minimum specs, sooo you might be able to run it on low

[final orchid]

do you think the Radeon RX 570 would run medium?

[stoic island]

Those two cards are about the same

Also pretty sure 570 need external power

[little leaf]

It does

[stoic island]

Yea 570 takes a 6pin

[final orchid]

mhm

im using an rx550 right now i might upgrade my PSU first then look into graphics cards

[stoic island]

Yes

[final orchid]

does anyone know of any power supply units that are in the price range of 100-120 dollars lmao

[stoic island]

Yes a lot

Like rm650x

[final orchid]

bronze is ok. id perfer a gold

[stoic island]

It's like one of the best consumer PSUs imo lol

RMx series is great

[final orchid]

alright ill trust you lmao

[stoic island]

Check the PSU tier list

It's pinned in the channel

[final orchid]

i dont see it

[final orchid]

ok i see it now just had to load in

[little osprey]

Russian

[hearty scarab]

So - I tried resetting CMOS - what to try next? I can't get anything on-screen.

[peak shore]

It's wild how expensive PSUs got this year. I remember paying like $115 or less maybe for my RMx 750 snow edition

[errant berry]

how much is it now

[peak shore]

$145 at least

$389 on newegg.com 🤣🤣🤣

That's a private seller though

[stoic island]

135$ on Corsair

Not that high

It was about 125$ for rm750x before corona

[unkempt jolt]

Looking to get an Asus Liquid CPU cooler since all my other Components are Aura SYNC but I noticed that newegg website does not have any that support intel LGA 1200 socket blocks. Would another LGA socket fan like the 1151 fit? Or is it really socket specific cooling systems?

[stoic island]

According to Noctua 1151 and 1200 are the same socket size and all

just different pins

[unkempt jolt]

Thanks

[stoic island]

Source : https://noctua.at/en/productfaqs/productfaq/view/id/236/

[unkempt jolt]

Makes sense, that why I asked but I would had figured the Newegg website would not be limiting in their search bars if parts still fit different socket types

[rough wasp]

Hey Im trying to build a system that will slam through After effects and cinema 4d

[atomic harness]

anyone have experience with the lian li lancool 2 case

[earnest olive]

@rough wasp budget?

[rough wasp]

Over 3K

[fast dust]

Im trying to download drivers for this motherboard but theres no option for windows 10, only windows 7. What should I do?

[elfin burrow]

@atomic harness yes my roommate has a Lancool 2 i built for him

[atomic harness]

my front rgb isn’t working but I have sata and argb plugged in so I can’t figure out what i’m doing wrong

@elfin burrow

[elfin burrow]

not working at all? like even if you use the built in buttons on case?

[atomic harness]

yeah like it’s not even lighting up

[elfin burrow]

check the pins between the front panel that comes off and the connector, make sure one is not slightly bent?

[atomic harness]

the pins on the mobo?

[earnest olive]

@rough wasp https://pcpartpicker.com/list/QKf2HB maybe something like this

[elfin burrow]

no, the front panel has pins that will contact a connector when you reattach it to the case

[earnest olive]

dunno how much storage/ram you need so i went with 128gb ram, 1tb ssd + 4tb hdd

can knock the cpu down to a 3960X to reduce price

definitely get a second opinion on something of this scale though

[atomic harness]

can I dm you so I can send picture @elfin burrow

[earnest olive]

i chose the 2060 KO because higher end GPU scaling has diminishing returns in these kind of workloads compared to gaming (source Puget Systems)

while cpu scaling does drop off in after effects, cinema 4d doesn't stop scaling with cores, so the 3970X is mostly there for that

[elfin burrow]

I am at work @atomic harness so can't really focus on chatting, just figured i would give some ideas

[atomic harness]

no problem

[earnest olive]

cinema 4d rarely requires more than 64gb of ram, but after effects can even go above 128gb in extreme cases, so 128gb of ram doesn't seem overkill here

the cooler i chose can go into the case top mounted, so you'd have the 3 stock intake fans, 1 extra fan in the rear, and then the 360mm radiator on top, so cooling should be well taken care of

the mobo and psu do the job, not much else to say about those

hope this helps

[rough wasp]

Himm Thanks @earnest olive that looks like a nice build! Ill look it over more

[earnest olive]

Glad I could help but definitely get a second opinion on such a large purchase

[hearty scarab]

Does anyone know where I can go to get help with a custom desktop that won't POST? I've cleared CMOS, I have power on, nothing on display.

[wary geode]

did you plug in things correctly @hearty scarab

[rigid ibex]

Hi I just upgraded my pc cpu and motherboard but when I turn it on a red light turns on next to my cpu does anyone know the cause of this cpu brand new

And it does not post

[wary geode]

that means your cpu is not responding to the motherbopard did you plug in the cpu cable?

if not you got a DOA CPU

@rigid ibex

[rigid ibex]

I will send a pic in #build-pics

[wary geode]

yes tech support here

no here

[hearty scarab]

I believe everything is plugged in. How can I tell if it's the CPU or motherboard?

[wary geode]

send here

there are beeps or red lights

send me a video and @ me

[rigid ibex]

Am you or send it here

Dm

[wary geode]

here

good

[hearty scarab]

Ah.. I wish there were threads in build chat. You're responding to Ark Plays.

[wary geode]

ok so thats not allowing to boot please check if you plugged in the cables

im responding to you too @hearty scarab

[rigid ibex]

@wary geode

[hearty scarab]

There are no beeps. I am fairly sure everything is plugged in. I'll setup a video

[wary geode]

give me your main spec gpu cpu and psu

ok video it to me thats easier

[hearty scarab]

I have the two large connectors to the mboard, the power connector to the gpu, power to the ssd. RAM is seated. CPU is locked down under heatsink/fan

[wary geode]

good

[hearty scarab]

Will video.

[wary geode]

ok thats fine ark please now check the cpu and fan is it turning on

and is the aio actually pumping waterr

[rigid ibex]

So will my cpu fan make it not turn on

[wary geode]

did you put it in aio pump or cpu fan

yeas theres a difference between plugging it in cpu fan and aio pump

[rigid ibex]

Ok that is what I did then I have no idea how to hook it up

[wary geode]

the ll120 fan goes to cpu fan and aio to aio pump

[rigid ibex]

Ok ummmmmmmm

Were would my aio spot be located

[wary geode]

left side near sys 1

you can plug aio pump to sys 1 too

or cpu opt

cpu opt = aio pump

cpu fan + the fans on the aio

[rigid ibex]

There

[wary geode]

yes perfect
thats where the aio pump cable goes

@hearty scarab hows it coming

[rigid ibex]

So I plugged in the pump into fan

[wary geode]

pump goes into cpu opt

[rigid ibex]

Rip I will switch it

[wary geode]

lol

[little leaf]

Why is there a fan sitting on the gpu lmao

You should take that off

[rigid ibex]

Becouse I can’t plug in the cpu cable with out

[little leaf]

What lmao

[wary geode]

no its fine

he needs to plug stuff in so he takes it off

[little leaf]

I see
