yes
Cause in your vid looks like a red debug light in top right
Cpu
communication between board and cpu
Cpu
For the radiator it will not fit
Reseat cpu
Oh man, that is so infuriating. After power cycling so many times last night to try to get anything out on video, I turn it on today and it works on the first try. Hopefully it will just continue to work now.
ok good please @ me if you need help
I do have one question, the cables for the motherboard front panel, like the USB and audio and whatnot, are directly above the GPU and they tend to sit on the GPU and keep the fans from spinning. I've tried zip tying them to the PSU, but that doesn't seem like a great solution, is that just what I need to do?
I'd send a photo, but it looks like I don't have permission to attach files
Plug them inlol
Lol
They are plugged in
video?
Wdym then
im confused too
I don't have permissions attach any files
just talk every minute or dm me
zip tie them to other cables
The cable comes out of the motherboard above the GPU and then goes to the front of the desktop. Those cables are just resting on top of the GPU fans
What case is this?
aren't most of those cables usually on the side or bottom of mobo?
Ya
what the..
Is upside doen
Spaghetti
is the pic or the pc upsidedown lol
Why not both
im getting dizzy 
Zd
pog
@wary geode this is aio right
si
yes
What is the middle for?
opt is optional for all water pump system fansd and other such
Ah ok
that one is from the ll120 i think so plug it into cpu fan
if not go to cpu opt
it has to
theres no way it wouldnt
That is the aio
There was a cover on it. it can of without force
So now we’re do I plug the two fans in
@wary geode
one into cpu fan
one into the other one no cpu opt
yes
And is that all I need to do to turn it on? And if the cpu is not a dud I’m good.
@wary geode
?
What does W_Pump mean @wary geode
can anyone here dm me about a graphics card upgrade? i need some help with compatibility/sizing and all
Yes
im from maui
@rigid ibex yes all you need plug into the aio one of you can and give it a shot
but basically i have a hp prebuilt and i don’t have a physical video card in it. it’s all on the cpu and i want to upgrade but idk what fits
I did and nothing happened does this matter he arrow @wary geode
Open it up
What model is the HP computer?
First time here. Not sure the correct protocol. Can somebody tell me the mb in this system: https://www.newegg.com/clx-tgmsetrth9a04br-gaming-entertainment/p/1VK-01TP-00053?Item=1VK-01TP-00053
If there are no dangling cables that says pcie on them, your prebuilt PSU doesn't have pcie power
For example, HP Compaq Elite sff, something like that
envy 720
@ripe jasper for your sake, I hope you're not buying that prebuilt, but it does list the chipset as z390
Motherboard is probably subpar if it's prebuilt, but chipset is still chipset
Prebuilts are pretty overpriced, like I would value that prebuilt closer to 1400$
I am, I'm afraid. Do all z390 MB have the same number of PCIE 3.0 x16 slots?
i have a picture of the pc if it helps
@stoic island I believe you. Problem is timing and price. We need something quickly AND all the local custom-builders are quoting almost 2x price and weeks and weeks for delivery.
@ripe jasper why not get 10th Intel or 3rd gen ryzen
You can try to build it yourself
i don’t see any cables that say pcie
It's quite easy
Sure, share the pic in a DM with MR11
1.8k is easily 10600k+2080Ti pricing
Yea it's at least 50% overpriced imo
Don't remember my broken name?
We people here like building ourselves
😮
It's simple, cheaper, and you can make sure you're getting quality parts.
Even if prebuilt, it seems overpriced
@cosmic birch pls share pic if you want 
Well, before you buy right away, there's also other prebuilts options
@ripe jasper how tight is your timing?
@little osprey yes
@stoic island I'd like delivery in one week.
life without a gpu is hard
It looks like it has quite a bit of room for a gpu
You can definally buy parts and build in a week, but I'll go look at other prebuilt options for you for now
Building a PC with parts usually takes like 3 hours
That would be GREAT, @stoic island !
Are you also looking for that one company one warranty thing?
Here is a fair priced prebuilt.
https://www.letsbld.com/streaming-pc
Only downside is NZXT tech support is bad, but we're here for that >:D
Hopefully. Remember GNs review of BLD?
Our budget is less than 1900 for the PC, not including the Yuan and BMD card.
That one I linked is 1500$ for 3700x+2070s
Not just tech support issues tho. It came very close to shipping with cables not connected
He did say it was tight enough not to slip out
Needs to have an Intel i7 or i7 CPU
Why Intel?
AMD Ryzen is a huge competitor in terms of performance
Intel optimized workload? Or just don't know how good Ryzen is?
Intel: The streaming software we use is optimized for Intel vs. AMD.
What streaming software are you talking about?
vmix
For game streaming, NVENC is godly for Nvidia cards, and puts realtively little load on the cpu
we're doing broadcast-quality, multi-camera productions w/ these pcs.
Now how "Intel optimized" is this software?
@cursive wharf Extremely. Both in design and support.
Well if you know it's that optimized then can't say much. Idk much of the software
But just in case, have you checked 3700x perf?
I'm doing some looking for some numbers hei, I'll report back
Anyways, take a look at this, one of the reference PCs is running a Ryzen 5
https://www.vmix.com/products/vmix-reference-systems.aspx#opal
we're looking at the higher-end system: www.vmix.com/products/vmix-reference-systems.aspx#ruby
(thanks for th h t t p s tip)
Seems a bit outdated, or that software is truly optimized. Cheaper to get a 10600k which is about same perf as 9700k. However, if the software is very, and I mean very, optimized the 9700k will be decent bit more powerful.
Wow, the ZNXT website is fantastic. Might be a little too slow for delivery but the customization capabilities and pricing seem very impressive.
@ripe jasper what software stack are you using for your production setup?
10th gen i7 Intel is either slightly better or fairly better (this is mainly based off of how much it likes hyperthreading).
and is this a "live" setup or a broadcast later setup?
Indeed, "hyoerthreading" is the future
for those that want to make jokes, please go to #general-chat .
@foggy hazel Live, LIVE. Real time live streaming.
okay
was just looking at the full post history on this topic of yours @ripe jasper
normally i would strongly recommend that you ask some of the local technicians that specialize in smaller productions IF they have something you can lease/borrow that solves it for you IF time is that tight
thanks, everybody. Y'all have been super helpful!
@ripe jasper nzxt cases suck
not relevant for this
rut roh...why do nzxt cases suck?!?
which again, depends entirely on the specific setup
crap. . .just when I thot life was good. . .
Nothing to worry about just a little more toasty
I just think there are better cases at the same price
there are. But for a simple system like what you are doing (yes, its fairly standard even with the add-in cards) it is not anything to worry about.
also @ripe jasper, IF you can get in contact with any of the local technicians, there is a fair chance that some of them might have done some actual experiments with parts
and leaning on their experience could end up giving you a better system. And also give you access to someone that could build it for you.
this is why i hate building a pc witch one should i get its just for my games no app
Get the 2b on
can i use a 1tb m.2 as my boot drive along with all my other data
Yes
the x300 is 7200rpm
Dont use either
the seagate one is only 5400
ok
Get 2tb and get a 500gb ssd
Get 2tb and get a 500gb ssd
@little leaf bruh i got a 500gb ssd and only looking for a hhd now
i need high storage
Two 2TB
??????????????
nah, a 4tb drive is a good size
Ive never used more than 1tb
why would i want 2tb lol
im filling most of my storage with my games, and thats like 3tb
Me neither, but that's because I'm so limited
and i dont have that many games
@little osprey any special use case for this drive?
yes
elaborate
cooler master 500M
Lmao
i mean, what are you going to USE it for.
we need to stop saying that
gaming
then the 7200rpm drive is the one you want.
im getting my friends old 1080ti next week and ive sent for a 3700X
SO MY PC WILL LOOK GOOD I THINK
Fresh
i dont know why he's giving me his old card
No question just game
Though if it's wearing out or something, that might be why
Just a possibility
My firend is giving my friend 60 bucks just because he big rich
Hey, new here, is there a place where i can post my newegg list to receive compatibility advice or just advice in general since it's my first build and I want to be sure not to mess anything up
@crystal wigeon sure dm it to me
hello
can someone help me with my cables?
i’m building a pc and the only thing to do i have left is to connect the cables
@digital pecan I'd suggest waiting for Ampere too
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/LXZrTC
need to be lvl3 to post links
remove the https
@digital pecan I'd suggest waiting for Ampere too
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/LXZrTC
@cursive wharf Thanks so much!
@prisma ferry so few things I'd change or beware of
-CPU: rn the 3600X is only $6 more then the 3600 non X which is a good deal, but be careful because if it's $20 or more then it's a waste
-mobo: Tomahawk is a bad board. It has only one M2 NVMe port, bad PSU (sound processing unit), no M2 E ports, meh LAN controller, lack of x16 PCIe ports compared to b450 boards at the same price. Then let alone the PCIe gen4 from b550 boards at the slightly cheaper price.
-RAM: Good speed but bad timings. Spend the extra $12 for RAM with better timings - 3600MT/s CL16. Same ones in the list I gave Snipe
-SSD: Samsung is very overpriced for standard use. Can get a 500gb NVMe with almost exact same perf as 970 Evo for $66 instead of the $90 that the Evo is
-GPU: with a 1k budget you're at the 2060 Super/5700XT level of perf. Need a bit better budgeting thee
@cursive wharf Ok thanks for the help im working on my first pc build
@little osprey good night 
@little osprey don’t buy it until you have the rest of the parts
If it’s DOA you can just return it, as long as it’s within the return period
@austere condor Do you built custom pcs for people? I dont need one i just have a couple questions about building/selling them
Or anyone who does
build custom pcs
ask away
So i have an opportunity to build a custom pc...
I was wondering what is the best way to charge for building it. Of course more than the parts are worth lol
depends on your clinetel
i would go with a standard upcharge instead of a percentage
whatever u think the work costs
So do i look at the hours it took and pay per hour or what
not sure yet
also when installing windows, what is the best way to let them put password and name etc but make sure the drivers and stuff are up to date
u can install windows and then wipe the pc via windows
CBC
oh there is a build chat
I wanna know how much money I would probably need for a pretty good gaming possible streaming starter pc
Not prebuilt gotta build it myself
u gotta define pretty good
As in able to have games such as csgo, gta, rust, and r6 and be able to stream with no lag
Or minimal lag
What about just games no stream
800
My pc can run a good 720 stream
My 2060 r5 handles it great
It all depends on you settinggs
As long as my internet is stable lol
And expectations
Ok thanks dudes also if anyone doesn’t mind about how much does your pc cost and how does it run
Dude I be running about max I game graphics to xD
Rust?
Mines 1.7k
Nah ur is 800
Ok cool thanks peeps y’all are lifesavers
Me?
▶️ 9. No sweepstakes/giveaways, e-begging, trading or selling on this server.
I have a weird question. Is it possible for me to run an Nvidia GPU and a Radeon Pro GPU together?
I will be building a computer for workstation and gaming and would like to have the graphical horsepower of a gaming card for gaming and for simulations, and the workstation card for stability and compatibility with solidworks
I wish I could afford a Quadro 6000 or 8000
But I would also want to wait for the new Quadro line to come out but that is a ways down the road
Yes you can use then like that
It does take a but of knowhow for what you want to do though
It is usually advised to get an all around at that rate though
@little osprey Wait for rtx 3000
Wait for the 3000 ti's
I was planning on waiting for rtx 3000 and Big Navi
I'm skeptical about BN
I would still need a workstation card for solidworks compatibility and stability though
Yeah I am as well, just curious to see what they are offering. I doubt I’ll be able to get my hands on an rtx 3090 before BN launches regardless lol
I'm waiting for BN then I'll get the super/ti variant if the 3000 series is already better
That makes sense... well thanks for your input! Good to hear it will work if I have to do it like that.
If its NOT then I will get my first ever AMD graphics card
LTT did that when they upgraded the Mac Pro cheesegrator
@woven wedge i charge $100 if they bring me the parts.
if they want me to pick out the parts and order everything, i charge a % over cost of parts
Is it all local
Ok thanks for the response! @austere condor
Hey, is it possible to use apple os on any pc?
look up hackintosh @little osprey
R5 3600 and 1080ti good combo?
Depends on situation and budget and pricing
i have a 1660 super rn but my friend is giving me a 1080ti for free and i wanted to know if there would be any bottlenecks or anything like that
my cpu is a r5 3600
it will be good enough
whats a 1080ti comparable to in the modern gpus
2080/2080s
not really
the 1080ti is from march in 2017
the 2080 is from september 2018
the 2080s is july 2019
yes
ohh i thought they release the ti, super, and ti at the same time
the "super" versions was a update that retired some of the others
keep in mind, this was way before the 2060 got a reduction to a msrp of 300 (because of the 5600/XT launch)
if i said the wrong thing sorry lol im still learning everything pc
@inner garnet Possible but you might not be getting the best results with an i3 paired w/ a 1660
well idk what to put in it then
If you can get Some thermal paste, and a i5 CPU It will run better
well my motherboard is a ddr3 so i will have to upgrade that too
but i dont have 400 dollars
or 100 even 😂
i was gonna say a good motherboard isnt 400😂
True
well all the upgrades i need is like 400\
i got a b450 tomahawk max and thats pretty good for me
i wish i could win of those linus tech tip computers
he makes like 500000 of them
like what does he do with them
ive done like 50 computer givaways last month and won nothing
true
get a segate baracuda 2tb instead its like 50 $ at 7200rmp and you can upgrade later
I doubt you are going to use 2tbs of stoarge
i don't know much about toshiba hdds but seems fine to me
Western Digital Black is good
bruh he really said that wasnt a simple answer lmaoooo
Ik lmao
just let him waste his money if he wants to
more space is always good though
if he wants a 4tb hdd then why not
just look up some reviews and try to find the best one that fits his budget
Extra money
@little osprey didnt you get an answer yesterday?
he isnt asking for a debate about the "amount" of storage
he is asking for an answer on the model
yea but he did say if he should get that or a different hdd
so he gave him a clear answer to another
I go through 4 Tb easy
From games?
Yes
how long have you had it tho
How...
I have lots of game
I have never used more than 1.5tbs
@little leaf there are a fair amount of people that download/install all their games.
ya thats true
most of them do it because of data caps
but 2tb is a good start to see how much you would need
and if you need more then order more
just looking out so he wouldnt spend an extra 50 if he didnt need to
Im just saying you could put the money else where
for YOUR use case, that might be true. But again. not what he asked for :)
Like cpu or gpu
consider how you are saying it then :)
he asked if he should get that or another hdd
and he answered
idk how that isnt clear enough
the implied question was "this model or a different model (with the same amount of storage)"
how do you know that tho
Sometimes people just want what they want.
ya thats fine
because i remember him from yesterday @errant berry
but he wasnt specific enough to where id know if he just wanted 4tb or just any hdd
then ask for clarification :)
and i wasnt here yesterday so how am i supposed to assume
the point is, you are NOT supposed to assume. You are supposed to ask if in doubt :)
and i didnt
if he wanted to stay at 4tb just say, "id like to stay at 4tb and not drop any lower"
in response to the 2tb hdd
not "tHiS iS wHy I dOnT lIkE aMeRiCaN"
thats just petty
bruh
you can personally think that is what he means all you want.
But please, do keep that to yourself.
keep what to myself
" not "tHiS iS wHy I dOnT lIkE aMeRiCaN" " <- that.
you are quite literally putting words in his mouth right now. And that is NOT a very becoming action for anyone.
this is why i dont like American not a simple answer
@little osprey
oh well i tried not to @ him but
well
yea
idk what you mean he was the one who said it lmao
and i will mock him bc thats just a dumb thing to say
especially if someone is trying to help you and respond like that
there is absolute NO reason for going around mocking people.
hey wtf is happening

is it actually formatted like that lol
Newegg 2 comes before Newegg 1 in the emote list
thats odd lol
is the terminal a case?
the aura terminal is a fan hub, Im gonna build my first pc
ohh
ok
arent those just the little boxes to where you plug in all your fans and put it to one connector
yeah
I know a lot about how I would build one but the cables have me stumped
ohh
check your mainboard and see what kind of connectors you have, and if they support what you intend to do.
do you not have enough areas to plug it in
then, IF they dont support that. then yes, start looking for a hub
i had that issue with my board
they're rgb fans, I honestly have no idea how to use these cables. I'll just look up a guide instead, I guess that would probably help more
ah
you should have a manual that outlines how/where/what
i just connected it to my motherboard and it still worked
my fan on msi afterburner ive set it on auto and just stays on zero
this wasint happening before any fixes
You sure the fan is on zero? On afterburner, it likes to just show 0 when you put it on auto
@little osprey yeah
ok
You sure the fan is on zero? On afterburner, it likes to just show 0 when you put it on auto
@stoic island efore it was auto i thoguht fans starts getting higher speed when it hits a certain temp
msi after burn?
it is
anyone know if the nvidia quadro 4000 is good for gaming?
quadros are not for gaming
it will work
but its really not for gaming
is it rtx
just a nvidia quadro 4000
this is it
i got it for free from my brother who does stuff with computers
oh i would never buy one lol
its okay
which is better radeon rx550 or this
rx550
wayyyyy better
okay welp thanks for your input
welcome
What slots are you using?
How many slots what motherboard and how many pieces of ram and ram speeds and GB
anyone can answer a quick question?
go ahead and ask and someone will answer if they can
Yes
Does anyone know where CPU fan header is? Its for my liquid cooler, they don't fit on normal CPU fan and I can't find anywhere else to plug them in
should check ur motherboard manual
I posted pics in #build-pics
There's a 3 and a 4
Even in the video guide I watched, the guy plugged them into CPU fan even though it's pins hitting pins, I don't understand
Those arr for the fans?
That kinda looks like molex
Could
Theres another set of cables for the fans, those are set
Can we see those
the only female 3pin/4pin that might plug into that would be fans
that I can think of at elast
that looks like connectors for a hub
anyways @main mango CPU fan header on the motherboard is a male header anyways, so would be CPU_opt, so it goes somewhere else
It might be a RGB hub for maybe rgb on the fans
@main mango which h100I version do you have?
Wicked, thank you so much
So I’m using an amd fx 6120 and it’s not displaying any output through the graphics card, I tried 3 graphics cards so far.. can someone help me
I think Naed is checking this fancy new fangled thing called "manual", dunno how it works so I'll leave him to do his magic :D
@final orchid you sure nothing else is broken, and all power plugged in?
I wish my manual worked :/
Mhm
It’s all running fine just so display, I tried hdmi, display port, and dvi
No*
let's see, no iGPU
What does I wish my manuel worked lmao
Igpu?
Intergrated graphics
Oh
you sure it's running fine? try resetting cmos
Make sure the ports your plugging it into is in the gpu
I meant my manual is giving me legit false info lol
It just says plug it into CPU fan header which is clearly false
Is it second hand?
@main mango ngl I wouldn't be surprised if it was a fan hub for the CPU fans xD
There is no igpu ports on my motherboard
Just reset cmos anyways
Ok I’ll try that... I’ll be back maybe
I had no display problems, re-built the thing, swapped gpu, all I had to do to fix it was reset cmos
@main mango from how i read the quick start guide for the h100i rgb platinum: The 4 pin connector seems to be the RGB fan led connector
Dang
Okay thank you so much, I don't know what's up with this manual lol
where did you get the manual you have?
hm, you got time for a voice/video call?
RGBs*
might be the quickest way to fix it
It should be good now, it was just for the RGBs
https://www.corsair.com/corsairmedia/sys_master/productcontent/WW_H100i_H115i_RGB_Platinum_QSG_revAE_.pdf <- this is the quick guide from their site
Silly error honestly
:) as long as you got it solved :)
Hey, im not sure if this is the right channel but im having trouble with my predator Helios 300, i7 9thgen, laptop, I currently just have a black screen and am unable to turn it on. When I plug in the charger the LED next to it indicates its charging with a solid blue LED. ive tried ACER support but they were too much help, does anyone here know any fixes to it
Thank you all so much, again~
you are very welcome @main mango and best of luck with the rest of the build :)
@kindred gulch contact the seller
It was working before this just happened suddenly
Should I just go for a refund and put my money somewhere else?
that doesnt change that you should talk with the seller about service
it is not that we dont want to help
but that a laptop is a wee bit hard to tear apart and still have warranty on :)
Yea i guess
Just sucks i got it 2 days ago and its already broken
Dont want to wait another 1-2 weeks for repairs, ya feel?
Yea it was definently an upgrade from my 2012 macbook air
But i also have to be realistic, because you are best served by that.
Yea i guess
does the manual talk about a accessible reset button?
Have you held down the power button for 1 min
Thats that “reset” button my gaming laptoos
@stoic island I tried resetting cmos but it did not work
Ill try it out now
Im looking at the manual rn too
Ive tried disconnecting power, hold power button for 20seconds, then reconnect power and hold power buttom
No change after holding power button for 1 minute
Nothing in the manual about a power reset button
Multiple forums give me hope but if I don’t get it working in 24 imma return it I guess and look for another laptop
best of luck :)
am back
Resetting cmos didn’t work
Thank you Naed
hmm
I’m going to try and see if I can get into bios
Ok I got a boot into bios with my weaker gpu, so I’m going to try my faster gpu and if it works we’ll be all good
fine @sullen spoke
some ppl think all ssds are the same but they really arent. i went through a whole list of read/write speeds and picked those
they might seem expensive but they perform
Hello I've been wanting to upgrade my pc, but i do now know what part needs the most upgrade of my pc. I was wondering if I could get any suggestions.
Motherboard: ASUS TUF X470-PLUS GAMING
GPU: Nvidia GTX 1060
PSU: 600W- 80+ Gold
CPU: Ryzen 5 2600x
CPU Cooler: DEEPCOOL Captain 120EX 120mm Liquid Cooling System
i actually use a tv and not a monitor xD
I have the SPECTRIX D41 DDR4 (2x8Gb)
I dont have a budget, but as long as its not super expensive im good
2666
yeah a 2x8 3200 cl16 kit will only be around $50
@ancient hare are you having any performance issues that have made you want to upgrade? what is the refresh rate on your tv? or model#? what games/programs consume the majority of your pc-time?
CPU: r5 1600
GPU: Rx 5600 txt
motherboard: b450m peo4
Ram: Corsair vengeance rgb pro 32 gb 2600 MHz
Do u think a 450 W is enough?
but why 32gb of ram
and 2600mhz
oh yeah
do you think 2133MHz would be ok for a zen chip or would that suck
i have a spare 4x4gb kit 2133MHz CL15
eww cringe
and wanna do a ryzen pc
oh
this is for you
i thought we were still talking about the other dude
i think the memory speed isnt as big of a factor as latency is
Is it possible for my build to not have an HDD LED cable?
I can't seem to find it if not
cuz Zen has absolute garbage memory latency
yes @main mango
Sick thank you
most newer cases have HDD and Power LED, and RESET and Power buttons
this new build (that refuses to cooperate with me for some reason btw) only has a reset and power switch so
or maybe only power and power led
whats wrong with the HDD led cable tho
so, will this 4x4gb kit work fine?
mmk
I have everything else all on one cable so I think mine just doesn't have it, it's weird
talking about ram speed
also, which version of the 1600
i might do intel either way. my friend might be giving me his old desktop that has an i5-6500so ill just upgrade PSU case motherboard etc and then slap the 4x4gb kit i have in there
that would be much better
I don't think my 8+8 was even that much
i have the case gpu psu ssd and ram so i just need cpu motherboard and cooler
and i did buy one of those $25 rosewill AIOs so
but i do want to save that for a build that i overclock on i guess kinda
@ancient hare are you having any performance issues that have made you want to upgrade? what is the refresh rate on your tv? or model#? what games/programs consume the majority of your pc-time?
@polar viper 60hz
and I just want to upgrade cause i feel like my pc is outdate, no performance issues atm
if youre happy with performance dont update
it would just be a waste if money.
if u want those same new parts when your computer eventually does suck then theyll be cheaper and there will be even newer stuff available
how heavy u oc?
Yes
For a 3600x lmao
?
You want a cpu cooler with a display
Whats the gpu
Rtx 2060 ko ultra gaming
Ok so you have mid tier pc and you want an aio
what
That costs an extra 100
ok
The aio is really not needed
Its not worth the money
why
Especially a mid tier system
so ryzen 5 3600x doesn’t need one ?
Very much not
I’m thinking of getting a 2060
Or a rx 5600 xt
Someone please tell me which one is worth it

depends on your needs and if you need a pc rn. if you plan on only playing games then 5600xt. but if you plan on streaming and playing or recording and playing or doing any creative work, then 2060 or 2060 super. otherwise, just wait for the new lineup of gpu's
Im thinkin abt sellin my pc and buying a bettter one i have like a 400$ build😂
I’m only gonna spend at max like 320 on a card
So I’m thinking of getting the 5600 xt
Cuz I don’t stream
u can do that but i really suggest u wait
u can get a way better card for the same price in a week
probably that is
Im gonna be trying to get a 1,000$ pc would i be able to play 240 fps on fortnite w tha
And also record
Best budget pc that can run 120 or even more on warzone with medium or high resolution
I have like 3 cables left on my build and I can't figure out where they go. Anyone wanna help out?
sure can I see the cables
I have one labeled audio I can't find a place for, a sata I can't find a port for, and this one I have no clue about
That’s a 5 volt argb connector
Ah okay, thank you
Yw
Anyone know where sata goes on a tomahawk?
Yes
Wicked
Yeah first ur aio is upside down
Then get the gpu out bc ur supposed to do the cables first
I can't imagine it matters, it was bending too much the other way
I can't imagine it matters, it was bending too much the other way
@main mango understood, it doesn’t, just doesn’t look as good tho. But get the gpu out like I said the SATA cables are under there
Okay will do
Down bottom left
JAUD1
Also I might be wrong but there isn’t a argb socket on the tomahawk
There's a few, jrainbow fits
Argb? I don’t see any on mine
Reason: Bad word usage
Is that the lianli lancool 2?
I have two 8 pins from the power does it matter which? One is a 6+2 and the other is just 8
Yessir I have the GYX 1660 ti
so one set of 8pins should say pcie on them
Gtx*
those are for the graphics card
Gotcha one sec
the one you are looking for the cable says cpu on it
^
Looking rn
I don’t think u can
post them in build pics
is that the only 8 pin you have?
Yeah technically
Yeah I have 2 that are whole
ah ok then that means one of them is the cpu power
not sure why there would be two of them though
It’s weird so it’s like a normal 8 pin at the end and then it extends into another 8 pin
the 6+2 ones are the pcie ones (the gpu ones)
like hold on
Thermal take smart 600W
yoooo
no thats the bomb psu lol
hm whats up
I’ve tried to find the manual for like an hour lmao
he says he has 2 cpu 8 pins and seems like he has a 8+8 pin pcie
but it doesnt have the cable name labeled on them
You can post pics here now
ah that helps
yea heres what the 600w has
lol
if you cant find the normal 8 or 6+2 that dual one should work fine tho pretty sure
the atx 12v one should be the one
for cpu
the one without the hanging off side ones
not 6+2 one
Ahhh gotcha okay
plug that boi in the cpu power slot then do you have storage?
do you have an m.2? or sata?
Uhhhhh I think sata?
It’s a Samsung SSD and it’s thick
2.5
@ripe wedge they make sata m.2 drives btw, m.2 just means its the stick vs 2.5 or 2.5
ah ok ok so you will be looking for a sata power connector and use a sata cable that came with your motherboard
ooga
yea
Gotcha one second
ur talking the three prong ones? @deep skiff
lol
but did more research and found the m.2 is just the 2 one
lol
this was a while back like 9 months ago
It’s got like 3 extensions to it, does it matter which I plug in?
no if they are all the same
id do the end one tho
cuz you can cable manage it easier
ah after you get done you are gonna have some real fun lol
plugging in the case connectors
What are case connectors lol
is this your motherboard?
just making sure
going to need the manual on this one
for the power button and led stuff
Yah that’s the one
the usb one is easy. it plugs in on the bottom and ill show u what it looks like
plug that in a bit better doesnt look secure
and I cant really tell where that is
is that on the back side of the case?
Yeah
Gotcha okay one sec
This thing will not go in lmao
there also might be a drive bay for that case and if so the case might have included rails for the ssd to sit on
is there a drive bay?
Oh sorry you can’t tell from the pics but it’s like bolted in?
I screwed the screws in on top of a rubber thing and slid it into place
thought it was just sitting there lol
ok looking for the pin config for the power button stuff now
Took me way too long to figure out how to put it in lol
also did you see what I sent earlier for the usb plug?
Got the sata in didn’t know I had to put so much force on it
Yeah ! Flipping my case back over rn
Thanks a bunch btw
np
U done w the build?
yea
I say think cus I havent done stuff with sata lol
So he plugging in the usb cable in rn?
Almost
ive only used m.2s
Just got that cable in you send the pic of
yea
ive only used m.2s
@ripe wedge rich
it should plug in there
the only spot it can fit in
lol not quite rich but I could afford it
The SATA doesn’t click btw
ah
This is my first build lol thought it would be easier but the power box has melted my brain
U mean psu?
Yeah lol
yea when I first built it took me over a hour and half cable managing and figuring out some cables
Alright I only have 3 cables left from the PSU
Yes
^
Forsure, ill plug that in rn and send a pic of the rest
