yes run good
wtf
but its not in stock until oct 10 on amazaon
dude is getting 100fps avg on warzone with 1080p
exactly
63*
60fps is about the point I say it's a good experience
i think that would be a great temp card for me
o wait
he was using this one
ASUS ROG Strix GeForce GTX 1660 Super Advanced 6GB Edition
they're all close enough
would that be much different than a GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER DirectX 12
remember, all the GPUs came from Nvidia. The only real difference between AIB cards for you is just the different shroud/cooler
ok absolute last question
im deciding between these 2
$249.99 GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER DirectX 12 GV-N166SGAMING OC-6GD 6GB 192-Bit GDDR6 PCI Express 3.0 x16 ATX Video Card
$239.99 GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER DirectX 12 GV-N166SGAMING-6GD 6GB 192-Bit GDDR6 PCI Express 3.0 x16 ATX Video Card
one says oc one doesnt
what does the oc mean lol
oc means overclocked
oc means overclocked
yeah, they will sometimes push a slight overclock on the cards compared to nvidia stock specs
on a 1660 super an oc amounts to basically nothing for ya
ok its only 10 bucks more imma just get it then
now to just make sure my stuff is compatible with it
like fitting in case and right connections
im running a ryzen 7 3700x with a msi x570 pro carbon and a td500 mesh
form factor on the card is atx which my motherboard is atx aswell
so i think all is good
and my max gpu length is 410mm and this card is only 280mm
I NEED HELP: B450 steel legend mobo, ryzen 5 3600, 16gb ram gskill, 1660 super gpu, and stock cooler. I changed my stock cooler to the wraith prism cooler and my pc started to crash and now it won't even let me boot to windows
@stoic island do u see any compatabilty issues with what i said above?
if not im gonna go ahead and buy it
@stoic island i hope i didnt just screw up haha, if i didnt screw up thanks for the help
also @spiral zealot ty for the help
mr1111
o ok
good
im just gonna sell it cheap when i get my 3080 but i think itll be good just to hold me over
or
i might turn it into a budget build for a friend or something haha
You could keep it around or do that
Reason: Bad word usage
lets not avoid word filter please @prisma stag.
yes
She’s alive!
But I enabled xmp profile, just wondering why it shows two different memory frequencies?
leave it for now
usually right side is "now" and left side is "settings to apply later"
Okay. So check back on next boot?
or check back in windows
And does it matter that I plugged my ssd into the sata port 3 and not 0 or 1?
not really
@viral ore thank you so much for your help!!!
np
ill make you a list
can somebody help with an internet problem? I dont think its something I would call my isp for
well my download speed used to be 300-400mbps, lately ive been getting about 20-30 mbps
im thinking maybe a bad ethernet cord or something?
hm
its only when using my computer the download speed is 20-30mbps
is it only you computer
and your computer is wired right
yup
optic cable and everything
i thought you meant wired connection as in ethernet
it used to work fine using the same ethernet cable a few days ago
ok
is the router in your room
yup
though so
ah ok
you could roll the cable up in a circle where u dont need it and hang it on the side with a tac or if you have a cable holder
yo weird name that i cant quote guy
u need help with build?
o wait
it was @dapper solstice
do u still need help
@chrome ruinwants a 600$ build I think?
@quartz falcon uhhhh I kinda assumed someone else was gonna make you a list when I went, you still want a list for a decent streaming pc?
yo weird name that i cant quote guy
@prisma stag ?
@chrome ruin
@stoic island that would be awesome. Thank you.
Since it just has to stream for the console, it won't be too powerful itself for games, but it can game decently.
So normally with fans. The center part that has the Logo or the sticker or whatever is the side that sucks are in, right?
So like with the front of a case, you put the fans in with the logo facing outwards so you could see it, and it would be sucking air into the case from the front?
@quartz falcon smth like this should work fine. Windows key goes for ~5$ on ebay.
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Fysfsk
Streaming from console only really requires you do have a decent encoder, which NVENC is
You might even be able to get away with less
but eh
that's also a decently capable gaming machine
weird question could you connect two pc's so that they could share the load
cool cool
latency is a really big factor
rando question sorry lol
There's also multi GPU thingies, like crossfire, NVLink, and SLI, but they're not very efficient
not really random
dang i just finished
It's a completely valid question.
i guess i was too slow
As long as it ain't no "hey guys can I have free pc", any question is a decent question :P
huh
im still here lol
As long as it ain't no "hey guys can I have free pc", any question is a decent question :P
@stoic island have you ever gotten that lol
look around lol
oh no lol
every few hours someone comes around asking for a free pc or a "old pc you don't need anymore"
ok i think download speed is only bad when using steam and certain speed tests
not getting consistent results
well i made a list but its more or less the same as Mr1111's list https://pcpartpicker.com/list/hRjQCL
@chrome ruin https://pcpartpicker.com/list/WGmjYH
@dapper solstice I'd go 1650 super for NVENC
because streaming
@chrome ruin oh yea if you were the one asking about a 600$ build, this works lol
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Fysfsk
$100 bucks more here https://pcpartpicker.com/list/WGmjYH
lol
@chrome ruin
so like its nothing special
its just enough to run simple games and high def
and more complex games at moderate right
watch on youtube search "cpu of choice @ gpu of choice" benchmark
Games Tested:
@0:08 - Player Unknown's Battlegrounds
@1:02 - Apex Legends
@1:56 - Call of Duty Modern Warfare
@2:50 - Red Dead Redemption 2
@3:45 - Counter Strike: Global Offensive
@4:40 - Shadow of the Tomb Raider
@5:33 - Assassin's Creed Odyssey
@6:27 - AC III Re...
oh
ya im running seige and mc a lot
lol
im a basic gamer
but in dire need of an upgrade
ok well my internet speed only slow when using steam
ill just sum it up to steam being steam
ty for help
i got all my parts for my pc what else do i need to actually build it?
phillips screwdriver
thas it?
well i mean u could get an anti static strap but yea thats about it
do i need that
i mean not really but some people use it just to be extra careful
A magnetic tray helped me a good bit so that you can keep up with all the little parts, but obviously not a mandatory thing
850watt or 1000watt for 9900k + 3080?
850
u sure?
While NVIDIA recommends a 750W PSU for the RTX 3080, it tested a system with 10th Gen Intel Core i9-10900K processor (CPU).
9900k was less efficient right?
and 750 is a pretty safe number
to cover their butts
incase somebody really skimps out on a psu when they shouldn't
200 on windows 
lol
and im pretty sure u can get a much better ssd at that price
i got windows for $6
ah ok. I had a samsung before and trusted em. I'll keep looking about!
i'd get a 2tb nvme ssd over sata
but damn you're going all out on that build
im jelly
just make sure you get a good cpu cooler
My house burnt up in april. I was just starting up a 3D freelance business.
from home. . .
damn
so this is more of a workstation than a pleasure pc. but it'll double as both.
i'd head over to #storage-devices so someone can find you a good 2tb nvme ssd
when you get a pc like that it will definitely bring pleasure by just looking at it
what cpu cooler you getting joe?
not certain yet. had a few buddies that were saying so long as I'm not overclocking, I should be ok with stock. I'll take recommendations though.
also thanks dwella! I'm looking through some storage as we speak!
check out the kraken coolers
if you are not looking for any rgb i'd gladly recommend the artic liquid freezer 2
oh and #old-cooling if you want some suggestions for air coolers/aios
or right there^^
thank you all!
if you want rgb then kraken or corair
corsair
yeah you better update me when you finish this beast, def wanna see it
if it's not rgb, how do we know it's working?
theres an app called nxzt cam
it shows cpu temps
idle should be 30-40c and load under 60c
The parts must glow to operate effectively
the cooler i recommended only has one plug in and everyone else is already pre wired. you just need to plug into the cpu cooler slot. it has a little fan on it aswell and itll spin
awesome!
with any cpu cooler, you'll hear water sounds at first for maybe 10 minutes
thats the bubbles going away and liquid getting into proper place
aio cpu cooler that is
good to know!
thanks, I'll post the build when it's done. it'll be a few months.
@hardy cairn I'm guessing 3d modeling from the build?
yep, and game design
Nice
you in the field?
ah, neither do I! 😆 But, I'm getting there. one nice thing about being poor and temporarily burned out of your home is that you learn how to save.
been saving for months at a minimum wage job for this. it's kinda my Hail Mary.
ah yes
They're all good
yep
thanks! I'm noting all of this.
gamersnexus on youtube does some good case reviews and reviews of many other components i'd check him out
i3 9100 omegalul
and the new zen 3 cpus are being announced on the 8th as well so
might wanna check those out at the time if you wanna wait
Well, those won't come out for a while still
yeah that's true
Early 2021
cool. I was considering waiting till then and buying these cpus when they drop. and my house won't be built till november at least.
so I got time
again, thanks for the help everybody. I've been out of building for several years. you've all helped tremendously.
this is a list i put together and kept mostly white components as you seemed to want that
wow! thanks!
At first I was wondering how it was only 1800
Then I realised the 3090 didn't have a price
Bh is a bit wack
i'll just put 1600 to be safe
it's around 1600-1700
Thanks! holy cow! you work fast!
@prisma stag could look used at used gpus maybe try to snag an rx 580 or something around 100
can save a few dollars on ram too
I'll look into it. although, I'm definitely rolling the 3090. I do a lot of gpu renders in my work. saves so much time, and this one's gonna save even more.
that pc will def be a beast
should get your work done no problem
and if you want to game that's no issue either
Quick question, anyone know if u can split an addressable header?
I have 2 RGB products but only have 1 addressable header on the motherboard
Case fans/radiator fans
thanks so much, again! I'll let you guys get back to being awesome!
@hardy cairn check back in about 1-2 weeks before you buy
@vital warren can i put a 1650 and a 3080 in the same case and use em both for extra power
ok!
@hardy cairn simply to verify that things are still okay list wise
wait you want to sli a 1650 and 3080?
yes
@prisma stag for gaming? no
i wouldn't even want to put a 1650 near a 3080 for gaming
for gaming? no
a 3080 itself will run whatever game you're playing fine
@vital warren trio kinda sucky. Low PL, poor PCB as a flagship, just overpriced for what it is. Tbh I see it as worse then FE
what do i do when it’s saying this
and when i put my thumb drive in it says error loading operating system
a8 9600 gtx 960 4gb 16gb ddr4 tomahawk b350 240ssd and 500hdd for 350 good?
I think make sure bios in Uefi mode @azure sable and not both legacy/uefi
where would that be under if i have a rog bios
@broken basin
oh i found it
which one should i set it as then
uefi only?
my brain hurts but it’s worth it in the end
uefi only?
Yep
okokok
it’s still saying i need to turn off secure boot in bios but idk where that is
freakin poop
i have a asus rog strix b450
Is the pc parts good for streaming/gaming for the price https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/jw6Z4n
Could i make any changes
Rgb fans do be expensive
there are several changes i would recommend, yes
@junior crescent
little bit impressive that you've managed to make that PC part list cost almost $1500 with lower end hardware
Id say faster m.2
there's still some changes i would make, but let me see what some of the AUS prices are
Like mp34 or sn750 if it goes on sale
I play Gta, wow and valorant
Are you gonna be editing alot?
Yea i do edit alot
Ok
what program
Adobe premiere
is the RGB a must?
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/R7y2K4 are these good together? The case is needed due to me going overseas. I already own the GPU, so I'm not buying that right before RDNA 2(which will likely come out when I'm overseas).
Yes and No. was looking at the 3700x before and that wouldn't fit. but the GPU will fit in the Case
The psu is a little pricey
True, But I'm always bad at picking those
I want 750W so I can possibly upgrade to a 3080 sometime next year while I'm still in the middle east.
Mobby dont need an after market cooler
Oh right, was looking at the stock coolers for the 3700x before
took a bit of a different take on this one.
going with a R5 3600 over a 2700x. you'll see better gaming performance, but in streaming, if you do a lot of heavy on screen effects, or multiple cameras, you'll see a performance loss over the 2700x. Adobe uses the GPU now for exporting, so CPU cores are no longer as important, the 3600 is fine at doing full 1080p playback in timeline, and can handle 4k playback.
no aftermarket cooler
A Pro Max is a good board, a better B550 is only $10 more, worth the small extra cost.
MUCH better memory by a large amount. Ryzen's IMC has issues with LPX memory.
1TB NVMe over a sata M.2 is definitely going to be nice, but i sacrificed the 2TB HDD extra storage for it.
biggest difference in performance you'll see here is the 2060 super vs the 1660 super. night and day difference. grate price for gaming and editing work, and you'll have Nvenc for stream encoding.
great performing case, still get the RGB fans
decent PSU for the price.

@junior crescent
@hard badge if you plan to travel with a PC, i highly recommend a mini ITX slim build. i personally had one as my main rig for a few years because i had to travel across the country a few times a year for extended amounts of time
they are great because you can fit them in most carry on luggage in an airplane, with a monitor
you said you already own that GPU?
Yes i do
was originally going to move my 2nd PC into the case, but decided I might as well build a new PC entirely so I can use the USB 3.0 ports. originally was going to put a A320k-m/2700X/5700XT in there. Which would mean I can't use the USB C on the front.
The budget isn't an issue to me. I'll be over there for a year. and where I'm going is tax free lol
you can fit a 3700x in a mini ITX if thats something you were wanting to do @hard badge https://pcpartpicker.com/list/CgHtmg
I had already ordered the case because i needed it to get here sooner. I don't have a lot of time until I deploy 😭
I need a new cpu and motherboard any suggestions? I currently have a Ryzen 5 2600and b450 motherboard but tryna upgrade to really use my 2070 super
What’s your budget?
400 ish? For both 450 max @languid nimbus
@molten cedar what exactly is it you think you will gain from upgrading that?
i am asking to make sure you are not upgrading in vain
Honestly nothing, should’ve been more specific. I’m gonna be giving my little bro my Cpu and motherboard for his budget set up and will need a whole new gear for myself. @foggy hazel
ah
b550 and 3700x is what you will be aiming at
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/rkPvrV <- thats the result for a workable solution @molten cedar
IF you are dead set on ATX it will be about 10-20 usd more
because the above list is micro atx
What abut a x570 board? Heard they were solid with a 3700 X?
unless you need a gazillion pcie 4.0 lanes, there is normally not any gain to get with a x570
b550 has pcie 4.0 on the first pci-e slot and the first m.2 slot
x570 has it on all of them
both are guaranteed bios support for the zen3 chips that are coming later this year
does that answer your question @molten cedar ?
Yeah. The b550 is perfect than? I’ll go with that and the 3700X. Any specific brand of motherboard you solely recommend? Besides the Msi pro one you sent ? Just keeping my options open
nah, not really, its not about brand as such
its more about which model that offers the IO you want
IO = does it have usb C on the back? does it have headers on the board for the front panel?
do you need 8 usb ports? or maybe 12?
etc etc
so its just a question of having a look around
and dont trust the vendor sites for that info :)
always check the mainboard manufacturers page for the board :)
Makes sense, thanks a lot for your help. Really appreciate it
@foggy hazel is there wuch thing as a 3.0 header spliter
Cuz my mb has 1 3.0 header
I ned 2
What is a good cpu and gpu bundle for $650
@robust plover if you want bundle savings, look around microcenter, or are you talking in general?
General
its 1920 x 1080
Ok
i have 2060 super
And I need amd
New
how do i check my drivers
if you have driver you can go to control panel and check version, if not you can download drivers from nvidia website just google nvidia drivers https://i.imgur.com/E3t99kD.png
I want nvida
Ok
@sullen spoke
click home icon and it show version https://i.imgur.com/GnJGc1z.png
432
Ok
now what @sullen spoke
Is it am4 and is it good
?
Ok
I would update driver first
You can download from nvidia website
I just realize I have to go somewhere so I run, but @stoic island can help 🙂
@sullen spoke in the middle of class lol
ill try
Lol oof
Is the ryzen 7 3800x and the 2060 ko a good pair
and leave the rest alone
Ya short explain, search up your gpu there, GeForce 2060 super, not the notebook one, and you can install
@robust plover for doing what
Gaming
Is the 3800x bad
Reason: Bad word usage
@shell wind I'm back
hola
once you scroll down there should be this
i did thi and downloded it and nothing cgabded
it may jst be nin game?
but i dont know how to fix it either way
ick you could just use geforce experience
geforce experience is easier imo than manual download
Anyone know how many LED fans I can daisy chain to one ARGB port??
my pc is blury could it ne the monitor
Hello I have a question regarding swapping ssd from an old system to a new one
Will windows 10 boot up normally with all my files
im using the same CPU, GPU, RAM but new motherboard
x570 or b550
B550
B550
I have a micro atx motherboard swapping to a mini itx
Unless youre going with like a 3950x and a 3090

oo yea
take a picture with your phone of what you think is blurry?
just telling us "blurry" doesn't help us too much
it could be motion blur somewhere, overshoot, low refresh rate, etc.
wut monitor u have?
it was depth fov i got it
alright
Are there any better fans I should look for for the mx330g?
Or are the ones I have added good,m
really iffy looking fans...
@left bone the mx330-g air is in stock now, it's a mx330-g execpt kitted out with fans
god damn
did u mean to tag @little osprey
discord is wacky
I type @ joe and he's the first entry on the list
and it pinged you
somehow
YOU'RE NOT EVEN ON THE LIST HOW'D I PING YOU
because im that godly
LMAO
@stoic island and ight I'll check it out thanks
Check this out on @Newegg: COUGAR MX330-G Air Black Steel / Tempered Glass ATX Mid Tower Computer Case https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16811553054?Item=N82E16811553054&Source=socialshare&cm_mmc=snc-social-_-sr-_-11-553-054-_-09252020
@stoic island this one?
almost identical, just didn't come with any fans except a single rear, but it has 3 rgb strips in the front panel
Check this out on @Newegg: COUGAR MX331 Mesh-G Black Powerful Airflow Mid-Tower Computer Case with Stunning RGB and Tempered Glass https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16811553062?Item=N82E16811553062&Source=socialshare&cm_mmc=snc-social-_-sr-_-11-553-062-_-09252020
@spiral zealot this one?
yep
you can't tie the front panel RGB into a controller at all, it just replaces the reset button
but it's got a lot of options
i just use a static color on mine right now
using cougar RGB case fans as well
That looks dope asf
Looks gd
it's super easy to build in and has solid airflow
i'm running 2 intake and 3 exhaust, which isn't ideal for pressure, but i prefer the look with 2 top fans
@wary geode
I'd really like it be rgb, but there's not many with the style I like
what style of rgb are you after?
you could look at the oloy warhawk rgb, it has a dramatic full-lit top bar like the adata
I have the z1, but rn I have to remove them and reseat them whenever I turn my desktop off
that's what i'm using in my rig
I was thinking oloy but I've been told theyre slow timing
i have a 4x8 kit running 3200mhz cl 16
16-18-18-36
https://www.newegg.com/oloy-16gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/N82E16820821162 here's the 2x8 kit
so you could just buy 2 of those
Was just about to ask about that
not as ideal as a matched 4x8 kit, but it should work in theory
3200 should be fine for 2 kits to run together
I have adata xpg z1, but I need to reseat them everytime I restart my desktop. They won't be registered otherwise
New issue
the only real flaw with the oloy RGB led's is that the center one is brighter than the rest, because it's so close to the diffuser
the ends are a little bit dimmer as a result
but it still looks pretty good
i posted a pic of my rig earlier in chat if you scroll up, and you can kinda see it there, but it's pretty minimal
oh yeah, i'd get it from amazon at that price
technically yes, but the chance of issues getting them to match up with speed/timing and be stable is high
you can, but depending on the die quality on each stick, they might not all run happy at the same settings
you usually have to end up clocking lower and running really loose timings to get everything to play nice
Oh....that's great......
which is why the ideal situation is to have a full matched set, but if you can't, then at least having 2 of the same kit from the same brand gives you a better chance of things working together
My ram cards aren't even being read anymore
oof
They're a month old
It's a new issue
Like 3 days ago kind of new
There we go
Now they're being read
But yeah....should definitely replace them
The 32gb version is $95 @spiral zealot
Should I get the 32gb?
4x8 or 2x16?
2x16
Buy OLOy DDR4 RAM 32GB (2x16GB) Warhawk Rainbow Light RGB (Non-SYNC) 2666 MHz CL19 1.2V 288-Pin Desktop Gaming UDIMM (MD4U1626190BKKDA): Wall Art - Amazon.com ✓ FREE DELIVERY possible on eligible purchases
they're also non-sync, which i think means they only run rainbow pattern
you can't control them at all
I don't really do much rgb editing tho
My gpu, mobo, and 2 of 6 fans are rgb, but I don't edit them
eh, if you're just gonna run the default rgb rainbow anyway
I'm also thinking of getting an rgb cpu cooler like the thermaltake ux1000
i don't have any experience with that one myself, so i can't say anything good/bad about it
I've been told ux1000 is bad, but I meant the style
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/RRb9q3 could i get someones opinion
Hi can someone help me i got the ASUS PRIME B360M-A LGA1151 and this processor Intel Core i5-9400 Coffee Lake LGA 1151 the motherboard says it support 8th gen but this intel is 9th gen will it still work?
@earnest ravine why get a 4tb external drive?
About to build this beast cya virgins
Here it comes

-2k
what should i start first?
And set everything neatly
Actually
so u know where everything is
what about static on my body, how do i get rid of it
U can use latex gloves
I'd put the cpu into the Mobo, attach the cpu cooler, and then put mobo into case
Im oretty sure
i aint got latex =[
Latex gloves, ground yourself before touching them, don't do it con carpet
@prisma stag you got anything metal?
Knives, table, chairs?
well the mobo came with a conductive grid bag
so im gonna lay the mobo on top of that
Use the mobo box
and my desk is cast iron so ill hold my foot on the cast iron
Free workstation
ok guys here we go
wish me luck
wait
does the corsair h100i cpu cooler already have thermal paste on it? cause i aint got any
can i send u a picture of it
i trust yall more than google
Lol
Lol
llmfao i got a finger print on it now
Yeah just googled it
It should be fine
I did the same to my cooler
You can always run to best buy and get some for under $10
I will
Usually 2&4
ok ill be back once i have this ram installed lol
your motherboard will die and so will your ram
o god
how hard do i push this dang ram
nvm i got it
ok ram installed
now cpu time i guess
um
which way do i orientate the cpu
i found it now
i gotta match the arrows
ryzen 7 3700x
into a msi pro carbon x570
woot woot
cpu is in
now time for storage
i know where the ssd goes but im not sure where my seagate hard drive goes
@prisma stag is it matched with the triangle
ya i got cpu installed
Ok good
now moving to cpu cooler i guess
Yes dont push down on it
i let it fall in place
No pressure on the cpu cooler while installing
only thing that got pushed is the lever bar
ok good to know that too
dont push on cpu cooler
i gotta read this cpu cooler instructions b4 i attempt
my mobo has a backplate do i have to change it to the corsair cpu cooler backplate?
Yes
So i follow the thing a guy from this chat tell me
to go build pc
and yes something was imcopatible
and now i wanted show yall my new build
guys i think i screwd up
the bracket that is on my cpu cooler doesnt line up with ANY holes on the motherboard
@stoic island
what do you guys think?
yes
Like in how long will it last till i need to upgrade it
A while
I'm running a 5 3600 and a 5500xt and I can play most games at 1920x1080 at 100+ fps
At ultra graphics
@prisma stag see the black holders?
I need somebody that knows a lot about it because im about to spend a lot on it
Take them off
@obsidian wolf no problem
Turn it 90° clockwise
like where only 2 screws line up?
If 2 line up the rest should too

GL
Everything else but CPU cooler I can help with
@raven crystal I have a few questions
Since we have the same case
What mobo do you have?
msi x570 pro carbon wifi
i figured out that first bracket was for intel
the bracket im using now is for amd
Lol was asking Orthusaku what mobo he had
o lol
Yeah, we have the same case so I have a couple questions for him
@obsidian wolf that list is missing a ssd
@foggy hazel
how tight do i tighten those 2 thumb screws
@foggy hazel @stoic island
they are springloaded screws iirc
can you confirm there is a spring between the screw and the plate it screws into?
ah, they just use a washer
it basically serves the same purpose :)
just screw until it does not go any further
a bit at a time on each side ofc
ok
its bending the bracket
those washer looking things are not washers its all one piece
then stop
ok i got it installed
now time to figure out these cables
=[
sucks cause i know absolutely nothing lol
reading the manual is the answer :)
ofc naed but i still have questions..
and those you can ask
yep let us know we will be happy to help
i cant figure out where to put them on motherboard
this my cpu cooler
Top: looks to be for a fan
Bottom: drive
@little osprey I am using the asus x99 usb 3.1
@prisma stag top is a 3 pin fan header.
Bottom is a male sata power plug (it connects to the psu)
thank you naed
sorry for delay
(on call with someone else at the moment too)
idk how to put motherboard in
is this a new build or?
yes
then test that it actually starts before putting it in the case
ok
which leads back to, follow the manual :)
reee
Mind if I msg you Naed?
I forget who was wanting to put their pc on their floor. But here’s what I use and just picked up another for my wife’s pc, just the cheapest black shelf available at Walmart. Looks nicer than just plain slab of wood, is cheaper than a pc stand, and has some sort of outer material that cleans easier than bare wood. I think I paid like $9 🤷🏻♂️
@night storm you can, but i am on a call with someone else, so i am slightly distracted
naed
just put my cooler in
if its touching my ram is that ok?
i mean it fits but its touching the ram
show picture
hm, that is imo not smart
take it out and by shorter ram?
will someone make me a pc part list for my 9 yr old son
@raven crystal mind if I dm?
@foggy hazel can i mount my radiator on my front case fans and then just mount my cpu cooler fans straight to the top of the case?
Sorry for late reply, had to cook dinner
@prisma stag I recommend doing top
Depends on case and mobo
@prisma stag case model?
also @little osprey, the build you "okayed" from @obsidian wolf earlier? it looks to be missing a SSD. Please keep a lookout for that in the future :)
ah yes, also known as the case with the silly clearance at the top case @prisma stag
would my idea work naed?
can i mount my radiator on my front case fans and then just mount my cpu cooler fans straight to the top of the case?
@little osprey sure
👍
can someone make me a pc part list so i can make my 9 yr old son a gaming pc
@prisma stag elaborate, because i am not following your logic :)
so instead of mount my cpu cooler fans on my radiator
can i mount my cpu cooler fans to the top of the case alone
and then
@dense jasper what games?
@prisma stag you'll need to take the fans out
So like have the cpu fans and radiator separate
yes
instead of the cpu cooler fans on the radiator, ill have the front case fans on it
@dense jasper I can make one, but need a bit more info
and have the cpu cooler fans on the top of case
ok my budget is 600 @little osprey
What games^?
?
he likes to play roblox, minecraft, house flipper and pc building sim
could you make me a parts list on pcpartpicker.com
naed u there?
@prisma stag as mentioned, i am in another support call at the moment
so my attention is split
can anyone help me
thx
im stuck
I'm not sure if you can@prisma stag
i might just buy a bigger case
@prisma stag show me a picture from the side please :)
Doesn't look like you can
straight from the side "into" the case please
Judging from the Mobo slot holes
aye
that does not look like it is actually touching
it is
i have to push it down just a little bit towards the back to get the screws in
that right there is unscrewed
okay
different ram is the safe option
technically it does not matter, i just personally dont like have parts touching like that
ok thank u
