Asus-Corsair is for GPUs and mobos
If you want Asus-Corsair for cases, you need to DIY it
220t
tbh I find chromax fans cleaner than other black fans for some reason
and asus mobo
I believe this case is supposed to work with the whole asus lineup of motherboards though; It has this ROG certified crap printed on it that essentially is saying it works with all their software
Yes, but not with iCue. I'm also pretty sure it only goes Aura-->iCue and not reverse (except with RAM)
@stoic island https://pcpartpicker.com/list/jpj6n7 thoughts on my list?
Ideally, I'd like all my crap to change with the corsair stuff, I've got a corsair K70 mk2 keyboard, and a corsair ironclaw wireless mouse
It's always annoyed me on my current setup how I can't get my gigabyte MB or EVGA card to sync up
Yeah. I have all corsair stuff too
RMA is just annoying
@stoic island So annoying still waiting for my motherboard to ship out. It was delivered back to newegg on Monday.
I just rgb lol
second, PSU can be cheaper.
cooler master?
All one brand RGB stuff is nice, but very not worth it if you're doing bang for buck and don't have OCD
zotac is just place holder for the fe
I feel like I should have just done a return, and purchased another one
I feel ya crock
Kinda pissed on that regard
I did an RMA for something, wasn't able to cancel it; A day later it went on sale but I was no longer eligible for a refund to just buy it at a cheaper price due to the ongoing RMA lol
Lol
which kit?
My EVGA 2070 super arrives today but now im still waiting on motherboard lol
this PSU is better for cheaper
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/qbK2FT/seasonic-focus-650-w-80-gold-certified-semi-modular-atx-power-supply-focus-gm-650
I'll go grab the ram
crucial
Going to start step up process when it gets here even though it will not yet be installed lol
Whatcha mean by step up process?
idk I don't really like the look of crucial
Oh wow
ouch
That is actually super cool; I didn't know they did that
just the ram
ye ik
for cheaper
I gotta say, I would be like nom here; I would prefer the trident in this case
Power supply can definitely be changed out due to his case having a shroud anyways though
I like trident RGB better than corsair's ram aesthetically, but gotta have it compatible with icue :/
Check this out on @Newegg: G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3600 (PC4 28800) Intel XMP 2.0 Desktop Memory Model F4-3600C16D-32GVKC https://www.newegg.com/g-skill-32gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/N82E16820232907?Item=N82E16820232907&Source=socialshare&cm_mmc=snc-social-_-sr-_-20-232-907-_-10022020
So more pretty
I would personally just be willing to pay a bit of a higher price for the perfomance with the lighting I like... I'd just wait a little longer honestly. But that's only if the speed is something I truly wanted
just spend tiny more for the 3600 cl156
I mean I sold my other pc for 1700 so
I could spend the extra 10-20 on looks
@ionic veldt I'm completely fine if you grab 3600c16 kit with rgb for 20$ more than no rgb
I have an issue when you grab 3200c16 with rgb when you can have 3600c16 without rgb at the same price fit in your budget
Oh yeah, that's a big boost; I'd get the 3600 kit if I had to choose between the two for sure
What I was saying is that I would likely just pay a bit more to get the lighting I like, and the speed I want.
I am saying I prioritize getting the speeds first, then lighting
Respectable
what I usually do but this gonna be my new main and I want fancy looks
My old pc actually used that cosair 220 case
It was super good, save for the lack of room for my 2080 super. From the look of that 3070 though; It should be fine
#blackonblackonblacn
I'm essentially going to be doing the opposite of crockstar
☠️
white on white on white?
Well, I bought my case from a friend for an extremely reduced price
$80 for a lian li 011 D XL-W
This case is white with a silver finish in the front
How are you liking the unify?
I chose to go with black ram instead due to the corsair vengeance White ram only going to 3200 ram speed
This is the motherboard I am likely to get
@night storm you gonna be doing some mem oc on that or something?
Well see how far I go
Unify was good other than RMA for no HDMI our
HDMI our broken so sent it back
Waiting for newegg to ship replacement
Sweet board though
yea it has some sweet ram traces and stuff
Ignore the lack of cooling; I plan to do a full custom water cooling loop, but I can't add the radiators and waterblocks
oh, and the ryzen can be ignored, that's moreso a placeholder while waiting for the 5000 series to release
Quite frankly, the card will be switched out with whatever waterblock compatible 30 series card I can manage to get my hands on first
/insert Your whole build is a place older
it hurts too much
What is it your going to be doing with your computer?
AHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Well, I am going to be gaming and using it as a workstation
Likely processing AI based renders as well
I'm getting it off my screen
what is the issue? lol(Or multitude)
3600c18 at such high budget build
Especially when AMD actually benefits from faster ram
I figured that was fast ram, s'pose I was wrong in that assumption lol;
Link me some ram you would consider fast then, curious now
Try to avoid one where the price skyrockets due to it being top of the line or something
So i just bought a ryzen 9 3800x wraith prism rgb cpu cooler for my 5 3600
Will arrive from the 5th to 11th of this month
Check this out on @Newegg: G.SKILL TridentZ RGB Series 32GB (4 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 4000 (PC4 32000) Desktop Memory Model F4-4000C15Q-32GTZR https://www.newegg.com/g-skill-32gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/N82E16820232973?Item=N82E16820232973&Source=socialshare&cm_mmc=snc-social-_-sr-_-20-232-973-_-10022020
Okay yeah, that's a good deal
And it’s a set so the ram is paired to each other
(Function better together than two separate sets often)
Nice
I got two oloy warhawk rgbs that are pairs with my motherboard and gpu
Cost me $62
2x8gb 3200
I'm also running 2x8gb 3200 adata xpg z1 ram cards
Perhaps due to my ram speeds not being up to par it wouldn't be a good idea for me to go with a ryzen CPU?
I recommend ryzen no matter the ram
It's a better price for the specs, comes with cooler included
I recommend the 5 3600 at the least. It's 6 cores at 3.5ghz for around $200
I believe it's 3.5ghz
I don't really need the cooler; I'm going by performance metrics here; I know that intel is not as ram dependent as ryzen. I was going to wait for the 5000 series to come out. and snag one of those processors. But if my ram is 3600cas18; will it bottleneck me with a ryzen cpu?
I'm speaking in regards to a convo I was having a little bit before you arrived is why
No not exactly bottleneck you but not as optimized. it is awkward spending the kind of money you are planning to have in your system paired with that ram In my opinion
You can always get 3200 and OC
well, won't these processors be ddr5 compatible? I might as well wait for that to come out before upgrading the ram If I already own this.
unlikely, rumor is zen 4 will be the DDR5 platform, zen 3 will still be DDR4
zen 4 might also be the next socket post-AM4
well, won't these processors be ddr5 compatible? I might as well wait for that to come out before upgrading the ram If I already own this.
@ionic veldt If the waiting game is for you. My dad is the waiting type. He still has not gotten a cell phone. He’s waiting for them to perfect it.
there has also been some confusion re 4000 series and 5000 series as well. 4000 series is just zen 2 w/vega graphics, for both desktop and mobile. 5000 series is true zen 3 and is currently only slated to be the desktop chips w/o graphics
@ionic veldt we won't know for 5000 actually
Yeah; I know. I've heard the rumors of the 5000 series and have been interested since. And I am fine with waiting to see what happens before I make a purchase
mem speed and latency affects performance, but I wouldn't call it a bottleneck
5000 series is what's getting announced in a week, and will be DDR4/AM4, but will probably be the final models to use both
I just hope the 5000 series Processors don't have a botched launch like a certain graphics card series 
we'll see AM5/DDR5 in probably late 2021/early 2022
like 3200c16 doesn't "bottleneck" a 10900k, but you get more performace with 4000c16 yaknow
Bots will likely buy them all
I would not expect to see anything different for any new release any time soon
I would like to see something different tbh
What would be funny if they allowed for infinite orders, so botters just run through their wallet on preorders
Well we all would but pretty sure this is where we are at till it gets regulation like stadium tickets and even then it’s still not great
I hope they manually review orders which I heard is something NVIDIA started doing... A bit late
that way I might stand at least a small fighting chance of actually snagging one
lol 😂 we can dream
i never early adopt, whether it's a new model of car or a new piece of tech. between supply issues and first model quirks, i just personally prefer to wait for things to settle down after a launch
Wise considering the recent issues with the cards crashing and all
i bought a brand new first year of a car and it was far from smooth, heh
so never again
i'm waiting for zen 3/rdna2 release, benchmarks, and initial supply issues to all settle before i make up my mind in any direction
Honestly I should do that too. I'm just too impatient with this crap.
If you have something that does what you need it to do currently keep what you have. If it doesn’t then upgrade when you can. Don’t need to upgrade just to have the newest or keep up with Davy Jones
That is how I am normally. But someone wanted me to build a pc for them recently using my old case. I figured I could sell them a few of my old parts that I am no longer using at a reduced price to lower the cost of building myself a new setup
And due to the recent release of the 30 series and the ryzen 5k series to come out soon, I was going to take the opportunity.
Can I please get some help, I just bought a 600 watt EVGA power supply since my Corsair one broke, I plugged my EVGA one in and when I turned on my pc the fans didn’t light up and I got up close to the back and it smelled like something was burning
I really need help
Idrk what the smell was but it kinda smelled like burning plastic so I’m guessing it was a wire
two things to note, power supplies often come with a terrible smell from my experience, two; They typically have a 10 year warranty
Mine has a 3 year I think but yea, so if I turn it on and leave it running could it damage any parts?
Cause I haven’t let it get to boot up yet but I don’t think it will, normally when my fans don’t light up it means the sata power cable isn’t working
So my drives won’t work
But I was having the same problem with my Corsair one, nothing plugged into sata worked
If it is indeed an actual burnt smell, not just the terrible smell PSUs tend to have brand new; It could have probably already damaged wherever the likely short occured
So should I turn it on?
well, if it was already damaged, it won't get worse I would think; Might as well try to see if it turns on; be ready to switch it off if it doesn't go on right away though
Yea
Alternatively, try another spot to plug it in
Sure
I am just hanging up lol, buncha dudes joined in likely to troll you
But your issue had to do with your sata cables alone going bad?
Could there be something you plugged them into that was shorted? that might make them go bad. I am no expert on the inner workings of power supplies so I can't tell you for sure
could be the devices in case (fans etc)
F
But I can feel my hard drive running
So that’s weird
But I still used the lighting node before I switched cases and it worked fine
So idk what could’ve happened to it that stopped it from working
I hope I don’t have to get this one replaced tho
check my list? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/zxZhDx
Quick question, is it okay to put ram in the MB when its already installed in the case?
Okay cool. I have all the parts for my PC except the gpu and ram which come wednesday so I was just going to build it tomorrow and add those in after
it wont lmao but thank you
Now my pc won’t turn on at all, the motherboard lights up when I switch the psu on but the pc doesn’t turn on, my gpu doesn’t turn on my fans don’t turn on
Only the motherboard light
I think this is due to previous problems
When I first installed this psu nothing connected to the sata power cable was working, I think my lighting node shorted the wire. Now with 2 different power supplies my pc won’t turn on
@polar prism i know this might sound a bit weird, do yourself a favour and wait until you have the parts
and then assemble it outside the case so you can test if it actually boots
Awe man :/ I have much more time over the weekend to do things so I was hoping I could so that I can get it up and running this week
I know youre probably right.
it is not often that something does not work (as in, its DOA) but it is fairly often, especially for new users, that they forget to plug something in
hey anyone know if the stock cooler alright for a 2600x? i don’t plan on overclocking it
its perfectly fine for that @balmy patio
thanks
Yeah I was planning on watching a build guide when I do this one. My last pc was a rats nest but everything worked, so this time I was just going to focus a lot on cable management and making it look good
you are very welcome @balmy patio :)
also makes it a bit easier when I just need the fans, front IO, Motherboard, and gpu plugged in now. Before I needed the disk drive and hard drive and all those other fun things 😛
holy cow just built my computer and doing some pc gaming for first time
holy crap this is difficult to get use to
wow good specs for first build
yo did software-codes.com stop selling windows keys?
U can always get one from ebay
If you’re a college student try onthehub.com
You get free windows through your school
I just bought one off kinguin and the next day it wasn’t working
There’s steps to take to get a replacement key, just haven’t done it yet
Some high schools too
K
I think you can search your school through it
Hey i have question
im downloading drivers for my mother board
i have ryzen 7 cpu
but i only see INTEL wifi driver
for my mother board
Can someone check over this? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/zxZhDx
@small osprey good, not sure if a 3700x is worth the price bump from the 3700 tho
What brand RGB cable extensions are those @slate thistle
what can I improve on this? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/HsZKJb, also I need to find a case, plz give recommendations
@prisma stag that's fine, Intel makes a lot of the built in wifi chips
Could this pc be capable of Streaming, Gaming, Editing and do some work in UE4
https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/xGyjjp
The like the m.2 wifi card would be intel
also mr1111
but i only see INTEL wifi driver
@prisma stag Your motherboard likely has intel WiFi
how can i make it where i start windows without a pin or password
i figured out how to remove pin
but i want it to go straight to windows
@junior crescent change ssd, and I'd get a better GPU.
@potent prairie there is no 3700 (non-x)
What Gpu @stoic island
:)
I'm eating dinner rn, but last I checked, 2070 super pricing in australia was still pretty good
Just had my 2070 super delivered during my dinner 🙂
Nice
You have windows on a m.2?
It's good, don't chase the 1 second differences, for your own good :p
@junior crescent IF you are willing to use 680 AUD for a GPU, then 2070 Super is in your budget
the 2060 Super is only 470-500 AUD
Lol
You run your own risks.
What are you hoping to gain
@prisma stag consider the following: Dont OC something you cannot live without
i want higher fps
Lol how many frames are you getting
Don't OC
Asus, Gigabyte or MSI @foggy hazel
You’ll likely just get less stable frame rate with an Oc

@junior crescent brands dont matter, models matter
Yes higher sometimes but you’ll likely get more sudden drops. Which end up being worse anyway
But you do you
What ssd 1tb should i get??
Team mp34 that is
Somehow the prices are reasonable in every god damn region I check lol
Can I plug in my headphones and listen to it
Sx8200 pro and sn750 are other options to price check.
Is this better https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/yDDGBZ
hey before i buy microsoft excel do u guys have a way to save me money like yall saved me money with windows
Didn't they make excel/word free in browser
Don't break it
What’s conversion rate for that to usd?
Is this better https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/yDDGBZ @stoic island
Unify should be a fun board
Already have it al was just listing the price in usd vs at
Looks good, OCs good, smol
Au
Yea I'm saying you should screw around with oc :)
Case is actually a sliger
So 419usd k figuring it out
Do you like the way that ram looks, or are you ok without rgb
Does EVGA do step up in Australia?
If so get that instead of the gigabyte
What brand RGB cable extensions are those @slate thistle
@night iron lian li strimers 2
just a quick question, I can't tell the difference between this MSI MPG B550 GAMING PLUS and MSI MAG B550 TOMAHAWK AM4 AMD B550
cause the mpg has extra usb slots but its priced less than the tomahawk one
Hello I’m trying to figure out what monitor to get is this a good monitor cause Idk what to get for my 2060 super? https://www.newegg.com/p/1B4-008M-001V7?&quicklink=true
Im trying to figure out why my pc turns on and off and on again, i just got a new mother board, asus prime z390a. And it wont connect to my monitor or my tv
@warped scarab MPG is performance gaming, listed a notch above MAG, which is arsenal gaming. Not really a difference other than hierarchy
@rustic sandal okay cool. Cause I was confused as to why the MPG one was cheaper than the MAG one. But I am probably going to buy the MPG one. Thanks a lot.
is it looked down on to plug something into motherboard while computer is on?
trying to find out what this rbg hub on my fan goes to
Is it possible to get extension motherboard sata ports?
Like extra ones, cause rn only one out of the 3 of mine work and I have 2 drives
@little osprey u gonna get a waterblock or ln2 pot for the card?
nice
nuclear
u got a second to help me?
i just plugged my hdd in and dont see it on my computer
im not really free rn but everything is plugged in right and its formatted right?
i dont see it on disk managment
maybe i dont have it plugged in right
i should see it right
I see it at the bottom there.. Disk 1. that is the hdd im trying to use
but it wont show in the top
How do i make sure a hard drive is dead
@prisma stag right click disk 1 and format it
Now I just want my motherboard RMA to ship back
GPT is the type you want
ok i right click and i click convert to gpt disk
ok i did that and refresh and still not showing up
no
click the unallocated part
new simple volume only thing it lets me do
aye
piece of advice for you
IF someone asks you to do something
please dont just do random parts of what they say :)
IF there is something that is missing in what you see, please say so :)
and i am not angry, just trying to make it so you dont get into trouble with things by accident :)
Thanks for help naed
you are very welcome
Hey, I just received today my ASUS B550m-A, Ryzen 7.. I assembled everything, but I got no video... someone have some idea?
where did you plug the monitor?
HDMI port 🙂
which one?
and your cpu is which specific model?
AMD RYZEN 7 3800X 8-Core 3.9 GHz (4.5 GHz Max Boost) Socket AM4 105W 100-100000025BOX Desktop Processor
may i ask who told you to not get a GPU?
actually I don't need one
actually you do.
why?
there is no integrated GPU in that cpu
cheapest one, I don't intend to play games
okay ? and what is the system actually going to be used for?
Canada
any preferred place to buy parts from?
sometimes hehee
specially when then courier is not Purolator 🙂
I think I am going to the best buy nearby here to get a cheap one
thank you guys
best of luck, cheapest on amazon is about 70 cad or so
I need help
@warped scarab no problem! I just did a quick search, lol.
@little osprey ask your question, if people know the answer/want to spend time on trying to figure out your problem. They will answer.
try that sentence again
supposed to?
Yeah
Is it posed to be like that
Sorry it’s getting heated asf
@deep skiff
@foggy hazel is
calm down and breathe mate :)
can you take a more focused shot? kinda hard to see rn
is that a new PSU @little osprey ?
Uh motherboard
Noob question. M.2 slot. Can i install one ssd on either m.2 1 slot or 2 slot if i just have 1. Or i have to stick to M.2 1 slot?
NOT NOW
@little osprey the cable you are holding comes from the powersupply. Is it a new one?
Yes
which model?
@little osprey if they have the same key (should say m or m+b key), then yes you should be fine using either but top one is recommended
...
@deep skiff its just the bottom slot has a heatsink id like to use. But not sure if i could use that slot
Ok also
as i said @little osprey the missing pin is not something you need to worry about
should be fine in the bottom one just make sure they have the same keying, its common to have 1 nvme m.2 and 1 sata m.2 slot
@little osprey to add to what Nachos said. Look in the manual for your mainboard, it will be outlined exactly what kind of slot they are
that is your problem @little osprey, nothing we can do about that.
yes, either a extension cable OR a new psu
Damn
then yeah u should be fine if theyre both nvme
Just waiting on ram and gpu that’ll be here Wednesday
@polar prism go get you some extra zip ties and make sure u have a usb stick while u wait
Yeah I’m gonna have to download the MB bios and windows launcher tomorrow
Is it possible to set everything up on WiFi?
I did
Okay cool. Don’t have wired internet sadly
Hard to set a pc up for the first time? I did one a while back but it was years ago and had some help
meh 50/50 if its ur first build u might get confused with what cables u need to put in ur power supply and which ones u dont and where they plug into
the most confusing part for me was bios
The building part is the easier part for me, I think the bios will be difficult lol
As long as my cpu is at a good range, rams running at 3600mhz, and gpu seems fine then I’m happy
Hewo help?
the only thing i did in bios was change my boot drive
so idk if i did that right or not lol
I need help
Pc fans won’t turn on
Cora
Check ur motherboard power and ur sys fan cables
also make sure u have both the power supply and the case turned on
What should I improve on and what case should I get (black) https://pcpartpicker.com/list/HsZKJb
might sound dumb, but its easy to forget
@little osprey a micro atx case would look fuller since the gpu is smaller, but maybe try and get something w a little more than 4c/4t, maybe hexacore if you could with your budget. Otherwise, pretty solid
depends. For strictly gaming, intel. But for everything else. Ryzen
hexacore is 6 core
but also a ryzen 3 3100 would do well with that build. just gotta change the mobo. ryzen mobos also support higher ram speeds, so it’d be quite beneficial if you have use for it
right. Multitasking as well, if you want to do schoolwork, etc
ah ok
@little osprey read you mainboard manual :)
It has sum to do with the thermal take thing
Like it’s own fans and sata
Like ion know what that is
Ion got the manual for case
the manufacturer of the case has the manual on their site
It’s for argb controllers sometimes
what does it mean when pcpp says it’s incompatible
depends on which part it is talking about @little osprey
paste the list link that says its incompatible
I trust you but not the other server that much
also they told me this https://pcpartpicker.com/list/XY9fMc is better than my pcpp https://pcpartpicker.com/list/jTJjjp
for general workloads, i would agree 100%
re: incompatible: It has to do with the bios version.
the short story is this:
the b450 mainboards were originally made for the 2000 series cpu's, but they got an upgrade for the 3000 series when they launched
o
the problem/challenge is that in the period just after that happended, it was impossible to tell IF a given motherboard had the right bios version
so b450 doesn’t support 1650 super
o
i am not talking about the graphics :)
ye I read it wrong
however, now?, it would be very unlikely that any vendor has a mainboard that is from before that bios update happended
because its been over a year now
BUT, it could happen
oh
hence the warning
so it doesn’t support the cpu
oh
and yes, i know this is confusing as all heck
Mhm
however, IF you want to make certain, contact the seller and ask them :)
uhh
what you specifically want to know is this: Does the Gigabyte B450M DS3H mainboard support ryzen 3000 series out of the box? and/or Does it have bios version F40?
you dont have to repeat all the walmart stuff @little osprey
Thought about it for a few hours
i know
Oh ok
as i said earlier about that
as long as you are certain you save enough to make it worth it
then go for it
K
However, the specific seller on Walmart for that mainboard @little osprey
they dont have a listed return policy
Best thing to do that Jayz2cents has said is don’t spend so little you’re disappointed in the final product, but don’t spend too much just to spend it
Mhm
check the Return Policy part
Ok
again, i am not trying to dictate what you should do
but do keep your eyes open and be logical about your decisions
any recommendations on a good entry level nvidia gpu for 1080p>
1660 super?
anyone has build for 1.3k Canadian? pls let me know
1440p
no monitors or keyboards included pls
right now you could probably do a R5 3600 and a 2070 super
if you're willing to wait - new AMD announcement is days away
and the 3070 is a few weeks out
well also new AMD cards in a few weeks too
b365 motherboard only supports 2666 memory
@subtle gyro thats a tough one right now, the decent things I would normally say go for are running up in pricing as its all so close to new releases
I've read the other stuff and Moon that would be my only warning about the b365 is they do limit your ram speeds on the non Z series boards - on 400 series its pretty harsh too
you pay more for the 2070 super
yo so I have a cable that was included in my case that I don’t recognize could y’all help be identify it?
it’s connected to a 120mm fan
lol Molex power
thanks
there is also a standard fan connector that you see on most fans so do I not have to use the molex cable?
if its not on the fan there really isnt an easy recomendation other than check your PSU, many still have 1 or 2 lines with them
a lot of custom loop pumps still use them
anyone here familiar with corsair products?
yeah the fan has the little 3 pin connector that I see on post fans
some fans would have somethign like this:
yea the 3 pin should connect to a header on the motherboard
usually labeled CHAfan
alright thanks
i’m a first time builder so I was a little confused at all the cables in the case so thanks that helps a lot
I might come back with more questions if I run into more problems
just remember excessive force is not good
it shoudl be firm and solid, but not jam it in
that’s what i’ve heard, thanks
Robytech did a first time build guide https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MtALhv22Ltk
This is a step by step guide on how to build a PC in 2020. This walks through all of the steps needed on how to build a PC in 2020, what parts you need, how to hook everything up and even some initial setup when you are done. This is a great guide on how to build a pc for beg...
I haven't watched but if Newegg put there name on it should be goo
good*
Haven't forgotten Single - just harder for me to know CA prices being in the US, plus the whole exagerated PSU pricing
but a good base might be a 3600, b450/550, 2070 super/3070, 250ssd and 1tb mechanical a decent airflow case and a 750 watt psu
I think I already watched that video and I already have my parts ordered
dear god I found another cable I don’t recognize
cool, some other build guides that are good are from Pauls Hardware and I think Bitwit did one as well
bring it
I can still picture a 3.5 floppy power cable so
@glossy musk recommendation: download the mainboard manual from the manufacturers site :)
NOT the quickstart one, but the actual manual :)
Hey Naed
ello
Why is my corsair h100i cooler not showing in iCue
I have found other than the be quiet 700 which came with a disassembly guide most done have full printed manuals any more
i dont deal with their products if i can avoid it
yea it is, should i try a different usb header?
might
can i do that while my computer is on
try and check all the cables again
ok
I wouldn't
what can I make cheaper in my build? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/JmRZBZ
kinda going over my budget
you cannot go further down, because your limit is where you are buying it from @little osprey
o
do you already have a monitor?
(for any lurkers, he is purchasing from walmart. its not up for debate)
I mean a 60hz could save money
coming from using my older brothers Xbox and tv
I’m playing low demanding games
60hz would basically make my setup worse than console
@mighty bobcat see the above before you dig in too much
i mean a 1080p 144hz vs 1080p 60hz would be a drop
I've read a lot of it 🙂
which is why I can't make much other than the monitor
I’d get the 60HZ monitor but there’s no point in me getting my pc
Xbox series x would be better
then go with that @little osprey
wait what
an amd build would be cheaper
@little osprey re: 1600AF: ignore, not relevant for you.
depending on what you need
its also not normally carried by where he would be buying
walmart is the limit
streaming and gaming
honestly would i would do if you simply can’t afford that whole setup then i would say you just get a cheap monitor of facebook marketplace for now and get a 144hz monitor when you can afford it
@little osprey there is nothing we can offer you until you decide that it is okay to either buy from somewhere that is NOT walmart OR raise the budget
oh dang
ok
I realized that those cable just have to plug into each other because they were the connectors to control the rgb on the front of case
i’m just surprised the case manufacturer didn’t already have them plugged together
then I was guessing correctly RGB related
could have been
freight can be HARD on packing
true
the company i work for ships machine freight
and these machine have had quarter inch steel base plates bent
when shipped in wooden crates
within the lower 48
dang thats gotta be some bumpy ride
lmao, as a forklift operator, literally the easiest thing to do is just have your forks 2mm too high and hit the box and then they smash through it
in a time crunch environment, it’s bound to happen
or having a container arrive with "standard" pallets
People are careless though.
despise unloading pallet trucks
i mean, container with goods, but packed on custom pallets @languid nimbus
Ahh, gotcha, thought you meant a container full of just pallets. My bad
it also doesnt help when the receiver doesnt tell you they need a lift truck and the driver needs to move that delivery for the rest of his route that day
also true :)
my favorite is the "if you told us literally 8 weeks ago when you got it" we would have been able to do something sooner
Oh I loved the working retail: why is my delivery 3 days early and doesnt have a matching code - that corporate verified is my delivery
:)
my favorite "solution" to that one has always been to get the buyer responsible for that shipment, to help physically unload and find room for it
it normally only takes 1 day of physical labour for someone that is used to at max carrying a donut around, to figure out that having a better hold on shipping is a VERY good idea
lol
because its such a cascade "event" when things arrive earlier
because there normally should NOT be room for it
This build or https://pcpartpicker.com/list/kJ46n7 my build https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Jorge6233566/saved/6PCqmG
your list is private
o
that was covered when we talked about the 3100 the first time around
also which is private
yours
oh yeah
and ok
My build https://pcpartpicker.com/list/jTJjjp or this build https://pcpartpicker.com/list/kJ46n7
you are skimping on parts in the AMD build
skimping?
you are trying to save on parts that it is a bad idea to save on
o
the way you are squeezing the budget, you are better off with a console imo
I just wanna stream valorant and csgo which are low demanding games
and console doesn’t have many keyboard and mouse games
and I’m uncomfortable, I just a tv stand and a chair for my current Xbox
for my kb&m I use some cardboard table that I put on my lap
so not really good right now
oh yeah I changed list
that’s the other list that isn’t mine
Does anyone know if the lian li 011D distro plate has issues with RGB fusion?
I can't seem to get the rgb portion of it to light up, re installed the software too
I had an RMA replacement order for the last one I got because of precisely this issue, thinking it was the distro plate itself. I know the ports are good because of the fact that the D led port I plugged it into had something else working on it beforehand
@little osprey I gotta tell ya, single 16gb stick is a horrible experience, so is a team MS30.
Thanks for the answer @slate thistle
So I recently upgraded and bought an all new computer for myself. My wife loves it and realized that she wanted one as well. She may do a bit of video editing but just very basic for her YouTube as well as picture editing but again, nothing big, mostly just hobby. She also plays Sims 4, Skyrim, ESO, and maybe a couple others but that’s about it. That being said, I’ve got the shell of my old computer leftover. It’s got a old mobo and really old amd chip, so I’ll probably just scrap those and get new mobo, cpu and ram.
So I’m trying to figure out if I should go with 2700x or i5 10600 or something of that sort
or if what I stated she’d be doing wouldn’t work well enough for typical use (probably 1080p, for now anyways) with the 2700x, if id need to go up a step
Also worth noting: I’ve got a 1060 6gb gpu
@hushed vortex sorry for ping....why 2......
What would be a good Mobo pair with the 10900K
Would someone mind to make a list for a pc that is capable of streaming, gaming, editing, my budget is 3000 aud
can someone please make me a pc part picker list for around 1000 (i already have a NZXT H510 ATX Mid Tower Case Gigabyte B450M DS3H Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Memory) so if you could build it around those parts it would be nice BUDGET AROUND 1000 IS FLEXIBLE THOUGH
Would someone mind to make a list for a pc that is capable of streaming, gaming, editing, my budget is 3000 aud
@junior crescent im not too good at this stuff but i will give it a go
ok
@junior crescent from what I see on the 3090 sli vids with a 10900k get a high end z490 board
@junior crescent the things im not too sure about is the ssd and maybe the ram https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/xzrzn7 but i think its good (3090 is sold out everywhere so idrk a good equivalent)
U have a 3090 in there, you're gonna need more than 700w powersupply @lavish needle
oh trueee
Most 3090 builds ive seen, go with an 1000-1300w
If you wanna boost the card n such
ye
@lavish needle you did see its AUD he is asking about right?
@analog pulsar 1for streaming
@junior crescent is your budget also with monitor and peripherals?
Ah okay
does anyone have a list of pc parts that can support fortnite at a constant rate, but less than $550?
Is it on xbox
what you mean
Fortnite
ps4
Yea use that
i want to build a pc that can run fortnite at a consistent rate. i don’t want to play console anymore.
console only runs 60fps
When you say constant rate what are you asking
Anyone know a good extra fan set for a build?
rgb?
Idc if it is or not xD
Tyty
is there a difference between hdmi and display port? not sure if the money is worth an extra hdmi on the graphics card if i can get away with an adapter
Can someone help me with windows
I can't find a working windows key
I have bought 2 so far from ebay and both have scammed me
@prisma stag well that's what u get for buying windows keys from ebay
try gamefun365.com
@arctic jungle It was suggested here. So?
why would you buy a windows key from ebay tho, so dumb
i've never used it, but designs by ifr sponsored it, so it's defo real
Sounds more sketch than ebay
...
Why would you suggest something you've never used
join the designs by ifr server
they recc'd it
¯_(ツ)_/¯
I mean
u got scammed twice on ebay 
so i'de say it's a fairer comparison
np
I need someone to judge my build
( I'm gonna get RTX 3070 btw, RTX 2070s is there for just symbol)
feel free to recommend me to replace antything
Use pcpp
pcpp ?
oh okay cool
It’s easier to read and give suggestions than micro center
Hmm corsair rmx psu is better
what about mobo ?
U dont rly need x570
There are some b550 boards with wifi for 100
may be 3-5 years
so
my whole build need 479W
Should I get
corsair rmx psu 850W ?
If u gonna upgrade u could keep ur mobo
or it's too much
Hmm more power doesnt hurt
doesn't or does ?
But newer gpus and cpus are getting more energy efficient
I think 750 would be enough but if u have the extra money go for 850
Ssenti dont those corsair psus have coil whine problems?
Or is that a different model?
Ok
hey im building my new cpu and was looking for a good cooler
Looking to buy a processor. Sites have 2 different i9-9900k processors. One has an I in the model number and comes in the plastic cube. The other comes in a box. Is there a difference?
Rmx has coil whine issue but ok
And something to note. The strix 3070 will not be 500
It will be much more
Yea more like 650
Exactly
Rmx has coil while? Idk its still good
If you spend 650 on a 3070 may as well go 3080 fe
siad that the corsair a 50 has issues with memory clearance, what does that mean
Reason: Bad word usage
@small osprey 750 is 110$ 850 140$
im fine with the mother being expensive
What cpu?
looking for i7-10700k
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/KBdNL2 anyone suggest me good mobo with wifi please
Theres a good combo deal I think
for me?
ah yea
right
Avengers pogg
dark rock pro4/nhd15/nhd15s is what most people like for air
Yeah
if you want liquid the arctic liquid freezer is pretty cheap
i dont see a need for liquid tho
Liquid can maks the build a lol cleaner
Is the scythe mugen rev 4 good
