#

viral ore
#

usb 3

stoic island
#

@sacred knot try looking at bottom of mobo

#

Usb headers usually around there

uncut pelican
#

Ok im out cya

formal cosmos
#

Bye

stoic island
#

Wait

sacred knot
#

Yeah but i cant connect it

uncut pelican
#

Also the mobo manual probs has a diagram

stoic island
#

What mobo

sacred knot
#

So im sending pics

stoic island
#

That looks like 3.1

sacred knot
stoic island
#

Is it not going in that usb on the bot right?

sacred knot
#

Yeah

#

Its the same pin configuration but im meeting resistance

stoic island
#

Tried different orientations putting it in?

sacred knot
#

And i dont wanna break anything

stoic island
#

Sometimes it's slightly tight, does it look like it's going in?

sacred knot
#

Theres only one way to put it bc of nudge on top

stoic island
#

Yea

sacred knot
#

Then wdym different orientation?

arctic jungle
#

🚀

#

bazzzzzOOka

uncut pelican
stoic island
#

Nvm

#

Meant dif headers

#

But I don't see other usb headers on the board

sacred knot
#

The usb 2 plugs are next to the 3

#

The two to the left

stoic island
#

Ye

#

But eh

#

@sacred knot what case?

sacred knot
#

Coolermaster td500 mesh

stoic island
#

Hm

#

Look at it if the pins match the holes when you plug it in

#

If it matches, try a bit more force.

sacred knot
#

How much force is too much force?

stoic island
#

(as in if they're alligned)

#

Well

#

If you think about, if you're pushing straight down, a lot.

#

You won't break anything going straight down if pins are lined up with the holes

sacred knot
#

Do i hold the mobo from below?

stoic island
#

Lay the case flat

sacred knot
#

No i mean

#

Since theres nothing holding it up from the corner

balmy patio
#

oh hey geralt, you still figuring out the controller?

stoic island
#

... didn't you screw it in with standoff screws nd stuff?

sacred knot
#

The mobo is prone to bending when applying pressure at that point

#

All standoffs and screws are in the place, screwed it

#

In*

#

oh hey geralt, you still figuring out the controller?
@balmy patio i kinda have an idea but i havent tried anything yet

balmy patio
#

sheesh

Geralt of Rivia#8121 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

sacred knot
#

Damn i finally got the usb 3 plug in

stoic island
#

Nice

#

Must've been tight if the Mobo was flexing when you were plugging in the usb lmao

How accurate is this? Anyone know?

#

i can get a ryzen 7 5800x for $520 should i get that or hold off and see if i can get a ryzen 9 5900x??

hazy rune
#

Any suggested alternatives? Trying to find out what 2400mhz to 3600mhz RAM would do (if anything)

stoic island
#

On Intel?

hazy rune
#

Yes

arctic jungle
#

altho synapse is king

drifting garnet
#

@drifting garnet yes asrock, no synapse
@arctic jungle Ok I was wondering because AsRock mobo's are compatible with Synapse.

stoic island
#

I know people have done 2666 vs 3200 and 3200 vs 3600/4000 testing on Intel before, just need to find them. @hazy rune

@arctic jungle between the X570 creator, Phantom gaming X, and Taichi

hoary lichen
stoic island
#

@hoary lichen top is a Zen 2 chip, bottom is a Zen+ chip

#

bottom has iGPU, top doesn't.

hoary lichen
#

Wait wut

rapid hound
#

the g also has integrated graphics

hoary lichen
sacred knot
#

Is it possible the mobo has a slot not mentionned in the manual?

hoary lichen
#

So which is better

stoic island
#

Zen 2 brings with it a ton of good perf

#

if you're gonna get a gpu

#

top ez

sacred knot
#

Its right above the ssd i plugged

stoic island
#

@sacred knot extremely small chance, what ya looking for?

frozen junco
stoic island
#

I can try to tell ya

sacred knot
#

JSPI1 plug

#

But i cant see it in the manual

stoic island
#

hm?

#

what mobo again?

#

@frozen junco Interesting, mind if I change some stuff around?

sacred knot
#

B450 bazzooka

frozen junco
#

like what

stoic island
#

everything

#

dunno

frozen junco
#

sure

stoic island
#

First, what are you using it for?

#

Second, what's the total budget?

#

Third, not a question, you can buy windows 10 keys from eBay at <10$, 95% of the time they work, the rest 5% of the time you can get a refund from eBay.

frozen junco
#

I want about 1800 usd

stoic island
#

Live in the US?

frozen junco
#

yes i live in the united states

stoic island
#

What will you be using it for, gaming, video editing, etc?

frozen junco
#

gaming and school ect

hoary lichen
#

They’re the same right?

upbeat bison
#

get the CL16

hoary lichen
upbeat bison
#

CL16 is better than CL18

late lily
#

Is the Msi gtx 1660 super good for vr gaming/streaming/1080p gaming

hoary lichen
#

Yea

stoic island
#

@sacred knot pulling from google
"JSPI1 is a 5x2 or 6x2 2.0mm pitch pin header on many MSI motherboards. It is used to recover from bad boot ROM images."

upbeat bison
#

240mm AIO vs Wraith Prism for 3600X

stoic island
#

can't find in manual either

#

but makes sense with

#

@upbeat bison just stick with stock

#

no need to buy aftermarket

hoary lichen
#

Any thing from 1660 or better can run vr at a good speed @late lily

late lily
#

K thx

stoic island
#

@frozen junco Any reason for the 9700k choice?

sacred knot
#

can't find in manual either
@stoic island so nothing to plug there?

frozen junco
#

no not really

stoic island
#

I mean, reading what it is, it's not something manual usually covers

#

interesting tho

#

@sacred knot which exact bazooka, bazooka max wifi?

#

maybe I got the wrong manual

sacred knot
#

Aye

#

Max wifi is the one

stoic island
#

hm yea not in manual

#

anyways on with editing list

#

@frozen junco I assume you don't want to have to wait for the R5 5600x to go in stock?

#

that's very iffy at the moment

sacred knot
stoic island
#

(Right now, 5600x is the best performing gaming chip at a reasonable price)

#

You should be able to if you plug em back in the same way

hoary lichen
#

@stoic island which is better Cl16 or Cl18

frozen junco
#

no I want this to get built sometime

hoary lichen
stoic island
#

cl16

#

easily

#

@frozen junco do you already have a 3070?

frozen junco
#

no it is a place holder for the card

stoic island
#

Need wifi or do you have ethernet?

frozen junco
#

I am trying to get one and I can wait a few months but I want a chip with integrated to makesure the components work ect and get it set up for when i do get the card or get a diffent one

#

I have eathernet but I do want wifi

stoic island
#

got it

#

Do you have a need for 32gb of ram?

hoary lichen
#

Im tryin to get a pc by 2-4 weeks after cyber monday

frosty crystal
#

Is good decision to upgrade from a 2600x too a 3700x

winged tinsel
#

I would go to a 5600x

frozen junco
#

no not really

stoic island
frozen junco
#

ok

stoic island
#

treat yourself to a RTX 3080 >:D

winged tinsel
#

@frosty crystal the 5600x is faster than the 3700x for gaming and the same price I would do that

frozen junco
#

ok

frosty crystal
#

I would have to get new RAM and Motherboard @winged tinsel

sacred knot
#

For the 1 pin plugs, does it matter how i connect them?

stoic island
#

@frozen junco what do you think?

#

I can talk to you about changes

frozen junco
#

I think it loooks really good

#

THe Noctua cooler would that fit in the case

stoic island
#

Mhm

#

U12a doesn't interfere with ram, unlike D15

#

Oh and by the way, lancool ii mesh is still a great case, I personally like TD500 mesh, but lancool ii mesh is still good if you like it better.

frozen junco
#

ok

stoic island
#

Enermax might sound like a scary name, but they used to be a pretty big company, and Revolution D.F. is an amazing PSU

#

I'd get a Revolution D.F. over a RMx

#

Team MP34, great SSD, has dram and Phison e12 controller at a very good price.

spiral raptor
frozen junco
#

Thanks for the config I will change a few things around, and hopefully there are some black friday deals on some stuff and also an rtx 3000 series card available somewhere.

stoic island
#

Yea run the changes by me if possible

frozen junco
#

ok

spiral raptor
#

Based soviet country ball

stoic island
#

:p

frozen junco
#

when do you think there is going to be some more rtx 3000 cards

stoic island
#

They're slowly rolling in

frozen junco
#

any places I should just have a tab open in the background to see them go in stock

stoic island
#

I suggest keeping an eye on the Nowinstock discord

#

Or smth similar to that

frozen junco
#

ok

#

thank you

spiral raptor
#

Based soviet man

stoic island
#

NH-U12a

#

NOCTUA is good

#

and also I forgot if DRP4 gets close to the ram sockets

spiral raptor
#

Would the u12 really be powerful enough?

#

For a 5800X

stoic island
#

@spiral raptor U12a performs basically like a NH-D15

#

not the U12s

spiral raptor
#

So why choose it over the D15?

stoic island
#

Ram support

spiral raptor
#

Okay

stoic island
#

D15 2nd fan hangs over ram, blocks em

spiral raptor
#

I see

hoary lichen
brazen slate
#

Hm.

hoary lichen
#

I completely forgot about the thermal paste

brazen slate
#

Any CPU with stock cooler has thermal paste

hoary lichen
#

Hmm

opaque raft
#

they usually do but id spend the 5 bucks on a tube bc the stock paste isnt as good

hoary lichen
#

Im dumb

brazen slate
#

Yeah

hoary lichen
#

So should i get my own thermal paste

#

Or

#

The stock one?

#

I heard people say that the stock paste isnt that bad

opaque raft
#

If you're not overclocking I'd stay with the stock, but if you are then get the tube

hoary lichen
#

Ill prob overclock it later on

#

But yea ill get my own

#

Then

brazen slate
#

I mean, a good small 1g can last longer than a stock paste ig

stone pine
#

Is a 2080 Super for 450 USD good?

opaque raft
#

yes

brazen slate
#

Yeah

opaque raft
#

i think

brazen slate
#

I mean, considering the 3070 is 500$, not too sure

opaque raft
#

is it the founders edition?

stone pine
#

EVGA XC

brazen slate
#

FE never goes below MSRP ig lmao

still roostBOT

Abyss#7338 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

brazen slate
#

Uh oh 😔

#

Bad wordo nono

stone pine
#

I currently have a 1060 3gb

#

I've been wanting to upgrade for a long time now

opaque raft
#

i would personally wait for 3080

stone pine
#

I don't need the best of the best

#

My budget is 750 cad

opaque raft
#

what you using it for?

stone pine
#

Gaming, editing and streaming

#

I don't need 240 fps

#

I want over 120 in warzone

#

2080 super does that with ease

#

I play at 1080p

brazen slate
#

Yeah, you can go for a 2080 Super, for CAD the RTX 3000 must be shot to hell in prices

opaque raft
#

will you use ray tracing?

stone pine
#

I used to be a comp fortnite player and my current card got me over 160 fps so that was fine

#

No raytracing

opaque raft
#

so I'd get a ryzen 6000

stone pine
#

I got 3700x

brazen slate
#

Radeon*

stone pine
#

Considering 6800

brazen slate
#

Those have RT too

#

No difference

opaque raft
#

true but apparently they have a slight advantage over rtx cards in normal processing

brazen slate
#

Just see how much they're priced, they might not be very good in prices on new releases

opaque raft
#

at least that's what I understand from what ive read

brazen slate
#

yeah, they should iirc

#

RT did better than non RT in percentage increase

stone pine
#

6800 is the highest price im going (759)

brazen slate
#

Yeah, you could go for a 6800 or 6700XT

stone pine
#

I found a 2080 ti for 650 (500 usd) but the guy sold it even though he said he'd wait a day for me

little osprey
#

For a 2060 S would a i7 10700k be good?

stone pine
#

Yes

opaque raft
#

yup

little osprey
#

i7 10700k or R7 3700X?

stone pine
#

Depends

little osprey
#

which one would be better

brazen slate
#

Depends

stone pine
#

Gaming- i7

little osprey
#

Depends on what

#

Oh

stone pine
#

Gaming and everything else- R7

opaque raft
#

if youre looking at price then ryzen but performance would be intel

little osprey
#

For gaming and streaming?

stone pine
#

^

#

Ryzen

little osprey
#

tysm for the help guys

#

Appreciate it a lot

brazen slate
#

Ryzen makes good use of multiple cores, good for gaming and other stuff at same time

little osprey
#

Aight

stone pine
#

I got 3700x over 9700k because it has better performance in everything else

brazen slate
#

Got 3700X cause price was cheaper than 10700K I think lol

stone pine
#

Difference in fps in each game averaged around 10

brazen slate
#

And futureproofing as well

#

Originally planned for 3600

little osprey
#

OH

#

*Oh

#

Does the 275R Airflow case come with fans on the front?

stone pine
#

yes

#

two intake, one exhaust

little osprey
#

Are the front fans rgb?

stone pine
#

at that price

#

heck nah

#

Ok so we can agree that 2080 super for 600 cad (450 USD) is a good deal??

little osprey
#

That’s very good deal jeez

stone pine
#

The least amount of money I can spend and still get the performance I need is pog

little osprey
#

How much is ur budget

stone pine
#

650 cad (500 USD) is what I want to spend, I don't want to go over 750 cad (600 USD)

little osprey
#

Why don’t u get a 3070

stoic island
#

Stock

sacred knot
#

For the PCIe cables coming from the PSU, i have two of those and each has 2 plugs...

stoic island
#

Put em together

#

6+2 is standard

sacred knot
#

I know one of each those goes in the video card

#

But where does the second go?

whole harbor
#

@stoic island should i get 9400f and z390or 3100 and b550

stoic island
#

@sacred knot what gpu?

#

Your choice

whole harbor
#

Ok

#

9400f

#

Is better right

#

?

#

@stoic island

sacred knot
stoic island
#

Too lazy rn

#

@sacred knot that takes a 8 pin and a 6 pin right

whole harbor
#

@stoic island which 1

#

is better

sacred knot
#

2 8's

stoic island
#

Then plug the 6+2 together into the 8 pin

sacred knot
#

But i have 2 of those cables

stoic island
#

Mhm

#

Do that twice

sacred knot
#

the extremity?

stoic island
#

Oh fun you got Daisy chained

sacred knot
#

Or the inside one?

stoic island
#

Hm

#

I'd look at the manual to make sure

#

But prob one each

little osprey
#

Oh he is building a pc noice

sacred knot
#

Where does the second part of the cable go?

#

Yeah i started yesterday but got tired

#

I should be able to finish today

little osprey
#

Oh that’s cool

formal cosmos
#

Should I get the 6800 or the 3070

soft bison
formal cosmos
#

I’m not sure about the 6800 because it’s more expensive

stoic island
#

why not a td500 mesh white

#

I don't like meshify c at 100$

sacred knot
#

So i only need 1 of the 2 pcie cable and one of the 2 sata cables right?

soft bison
#

I was thinking about td500 But I dont like building in that one as much

#

could change tho

#

other than that any thoughts

stoic island
#

hm?

#

@soft bison main thing is 3 included fans vs 2 lel

#

also top 360mm rad support

#

and rgb fans makes people happy and let me take away rgb from the rest of the list

soft bison
#

Good point about the fans

#

Usually I just get a pack of be quiet! 120s or something and replace those but it would be nice to have that rad support

formal cosmos
#

Should I change my case

#

The meshify c^

#

One thing I don’t like about the td500 is the psu slot

stoic island
#

what about it

#

it's a shroud

formal cosmos
#

Whatever

#

what about it
@stoic island I don’t like how it’s open

stoic island
#

@formal cosmos I actually like it better because you can easily install drives there

formal cosmos
#

Should I really change it?

#

I might change it

#

I can hold 1 more fan

#

Does it have better airflow than the meshify c?

granite barn
#

anyone got a 500 dollar list already made?

arctic jungle
#

@formal cosmos yea that's a rlly good case

#

it's perfect

#

do you know what fans those are using?

little osprey
#

test

stoic island
#

test works :)

pseudo forge
#

@stoic island quick question

#

Is it worth waiting for the aib GPUs or just buy one tomorrow if possible

sacred knot
stoic island
#

@pseudo forge wait for benchmarkd

pseudo forge
#

Will they be out before the cards release?

stoic island
#

Might be at same time

#

Not sure

pseudo forge
#

Won’t be able to get one then if I wait for benchmarks 😂

#

Cards are gonna sellout in seconds

stoic island
#

You can cancel order if needed

pseudo forge
#

Good shout

#

The rtx cards are slowly coming back into stock in the uk tbf

#

Very slow may I add

#

A lot of 3070 come in stock today

frozen junco
#

Where

pseudo forge
#

They’re out of stock now people bought them

stoic island
#

Sounds good

If this is the zephyrus, try get one with an amd cpu

Better performance, basically

exotic marten
#

@sacred knot molex connector for power

sacred knot
#

Do i have to connect it somewhere? I dont see anything that can take it

exotic marten
#

No unless it's needed. Sata power is a longer L shaped connector for hdds/ssds

#

You use them for extra things like fans

sacred knot
#

And i only need one of the two sata cables and one of the two pcie cables right?

exotic marten
#

Not sure. How many drives you got?

sacred knot
#

1 hdd

#

So the second cable i just tuck in next to the PSU?

exotic marten
#

One pcie for gpu if your psu has x2 6+2 pin pcie

#

Usually psu's have more than one sata power on the same line. If you got extras and can't take them off the psu (non modular) then yes tuck away

sacred knot
#

Dont mind my feet 😭

gloomy merlin
#

have a question

sacred knot
#

Each has 2 pcie plug

gloomy merlin
#

Whats a good x570 mb for the new ryzen cpus?

exotic marten
#

Yeah you gotta use as many as needed to connect to gpu

#

Some will have 2 connectors on the same line

sacred knot
#

My gpu has 2 8 pin slots

#

So i connect the 2 on the same line in the gpu?

exotic marten
#

Does each pcie line have 2 connectors or 1?

#

Meaning 1 6pin +2 connector or 2

jagged spire
#

Can some one check out if my pc parts are good?

sacred knot
#

On each line

exotic marten
#

Right so one cable for the gpu. It has 2 pcie connectors

jagged spire
#

can I put the pics in the chat

sacred knot
#

Yep

small osprey
#

@sacred knot u need 2 separate cables

jagged spire
exotic marten
#

As long as it's 2 6+2 connectors

jagged spire
#

Planning on waiting for the rtx 3060

exotic marten
#

You don't need 2 separate cables unless it's a crappy psu

sacred knot
#

Yeah i have 2 line with 2 pcie plugs each

small osprey
#

You don't need 2 separate cables unless it's a crappy psu
@exotic marten pretty sure you do

pulsar zodiac
#

This question is for people that purchased the MSI 3070 gaming x trio. How long did it take for it to arrive via backorder for you? (I posted this question #graphics-cards but it was ignored)

small osprey
#

Its one cable

exotic marten
#

@small osprey 1 cable 2 connectors

small osprey
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

Its 2 connectors but idk if that will supply enough power

exotic marten
#

Right by the look of the cables it seems decent

#

What's the psu

pulsar zodiac
#

@weak field I know that, I preordered from Canada Computers and It's coming up on week 2, I have almost every part besides the motherboard and GPU

small osprey
#

u could always try one cable and if it doesnt work use 2 ¯_(ツ)_/¯

sacred knot
exotic marten
#

Ohh shhiii yeah might wanna use 2

#

Hahah

sacred knot
#

Why for this one?

exotic marten
#

Antec ehh

sacred knot
#

Ohh okok

small osprey
#

Just try using one

#

If it works great

#

If it doesnt use 2

exotic marten
#

Yeah try one first

sacred knot
#

Will do

small osprey
sacred knot
#

Im almost done i just have a few more cables

#

And some idk where to plug

exotic marten
#

Is gold rated so maybe it's a good one. Idk I only buy seasoning

#

Seasonic

small osprey
#

This ur first build?

sacred knot
#

Yep

small osprey
#

Nice

#

What do u need help with

exotic marten
#

Post pic

small osprey
#

Kermit shush

exotic marten
#

Is it modular or non modular?

sacred knot
#

Non i think

exotic marten
#

That's a fan connector

#

Should be fan header by cpu somewhere

sacred knot
#

Isnt this one the fan connector?

small osprey
#

? Its from front panel he said

sacred knot
#

Since it has rbg connector as well

exotic marten
#

Left is rgb

small osprey
#

Does it say anything on it

exotic marten
#

Can't tell what right is

sacred knot
#

Nope but it joins from 3 cables

exotic marten
#

Regardless a 3 pin still goes in a 3/4 pin header

sacred knot
exotic marten
#

You got power button/leds connected?

just usb and rgb and stuff for the rest

exotic marten
#

What about front usb?

stoic island
#

usb is too

sacred knot
#

Yep

exotic marten
#

Good catch

sacred knot
#

Theres a 2x2 pin close to gpu slot

#

Do i need that for something?

stoic island
#

next to 24pin?

#

like PSU cable?

#

hm

sacred knot
#

No not next to 2r pin

stoic island
#

hm I'm looking for it

#

don't see it

exotic marten
#

2+2?

#

Cpu power?

sacred knot
#

Hidden by cable

exotic marten
#

The hell is that

sacred knot
#

Yep

stoic island
#

JCI1 is like chasis intrusion weird thingy

#

don't rember what JBAT1 was

#

it's most likely not necessary

#

huh clear cmos eh

sacred knot
#

SYS_FAN1 is for frontal fans?

stoic island
#

it's for any chasis fans

#

doesn't matter which # Sys_fan header you plug it in

sacred knot
#

Oh nvm i found another fan slot

#

And the gpu

balmy patio
#

nice

sacred knot
#

But those 2 cables idk where to plug tho

balmy patio
#

the second one goes on the rgb header on ur mobo

#

what mobo do you have?

sacred knot
#

Is there only 1 rbg header on mobi?

#

Msi b450m bazooka max wifi

#

Is there only 1 rbg header on mobi?
Cos i already plugged the exhaust fan rbg on one and cant find another 😅

#

Wait does JRAINBOW do the job?

#

Cos JRGB is a 4 pin

orchid raft
#

Noctua's website says that the NH-U12S is good for medium overclocking on a 10600K, anyone can confirm that? In need of a better CPU cooler but rather not break the bank lol 😛

#

NH-U12A is a little over my budget

stoic island
#

If you just want a cheap decent air cooler

#

Gammaxx 400 at 20$

#

Mugen 5 rev b for decently good cooler at ~50$

orchid raft
#

I'm not necessarily looking for cheap, just not expensive

stoic island
#

U12s is horribly priced, decent cooler, but the price just kinda kills it for me

#

it performs around the same as a gammaxx 400

orchid raft
#

Something around 60$ like the NH-U12S would be perfect

#

Alright let me take a look

stoic island
#

But anyways, smth like a Mugen 5 rev b then

orchid raft
#

And those would be good for a 10600K?

stoic island
#

for the ~60$ budget

balmy patio
#

@sacred knot according to the manual there is two rgb headers, one on the top right and one on the bottom left of the mobo

orchid raft
#

Also could be difficult to get anything that isn't among the most popular brands where I live but lol let's see

stoic island
#

o wait

#

fuma 2 is 60$

#

it's great

#

@orchid raft where exactly?

#

Scythe coolers are fairly common imo

sacred knot
#

@sacred knot according to the manual there is two rgb headers, one on the top right and one on the bottom left of the mobo
@balmy patio now i have to find where to plug the head next to it

stoic island
#

What country

sacred knot
whole harbor
#

About how much better is mp34 than crucial p2 @stoic island

orchid raft
#

From what I've seen it's hard to find Scythe here haha and would rather keep where I live to myself haha

#

Also the fuma 2 is HUGE wouldn't it cause issues with ram sticks?

balmy patio
#

@sacred knot i THINK you put that on a fan header on the mobo

hazy rune
#

No

#

Do not do that

orchid raft
#

I'm not looking for something insane, a cooler that'll be able to handle low-medium overclocking on a 10600K would be perfect

sacred knot
#

But the fan headers have a nudge

hazy rune
#

There are specific rgb headers on your motherboard

#

And you need to make sure it’s the correct voltage

#

They come in both 5V and 12V variants

stoic island
#

@whole harbor 3000/2700 mb/s compared to like 2000/1700

#

And dram

sacred knot
#

JRAINBOW is 5V

#

But anyways they have diferent pins

whole harbor
#

should i get crucial p2 and buy 2tb barracuda @stoic island

exotic marten
#

The 3 pin looks like rgb power?

hazy rune
#

You may have to buy an adapter.

sacred knot
#

JRAINBOW has 3 pins

exotic marten
#

The other is same or like an extender

sacred knot
#

Wait so i only need to plug one of those?

stoic island
#

Your choice

exotic marten
#

Probably 1

whole harbor
#

K

exotic marten
#

Use the 3 circle pin one

sacred knot
#

Yep

whole harbor
#

@stoic island how much ssd space do I need and will my hdd be able to load games kind of fast

sacred knot
#

Now cable management and gpu connection

exotic marten
#

I thought you did gpu already

sacred knot
#

No i was connecting the stuff from psu

exotic marten
#

Ohh ok

sacred knot
#

Oh i also have the rgb controller

exotic marten
#

Controller might get plugged into molex connector

sacred knot
#

The controller has 3 pins but is connected via sata right?

#

Controller might get plugged into molex connector
@exotic marten whats that?

exotic marten
#

Ohh so no it goes in a 3 pin fan header or chassis header

#

Molex was the 4 pin you asked about

sacred knot
#

This?

#

I need to plug something in that

exotic marten
#

What is that from

sacred knot
#

Case

#

For fans rgb i think

exotic marten
#

Case has rgb?

sacred knot
#

Yeah

exotic marten
#

Its probably just regular 3 pin fan header

sacred knot
#

Supposed to i think

exotic marten
#

4 pin is for speed control but this is for power

#

I think it goes with that one square 3 pin connector you showed

sacred knot
#

So now imma plug the gpu

exotic marten
#

You got dis

sacred knot
#

I need to remove the top side panel?

#

And the one below it?

exotic marten
#

What you mean just take the side panel off the case

sacred knot
#

The little screwed in panels

exotic marten
#

Pic

sacred knot
#

Or one slot below?

exotic marten
#

Ohh the pcie slot covers?

#

Take out 2 and make it lines up with pcie slot

jagged ember
#

If it doesn't line up unscrew more

#

Then try again

#

Sometimes it's not the first two

exotic marten
#

Ye

sacred knot
#

Oh woops i forgot to remove the cover on gpu

#

Yeah that i know 😂

#

But the cover on the gold part i forgot so it souldnt go in

hasty gyro

#

#

For premiere pro

sacred knot
#

There was a black cover on the thing youre supposed to put in the mobo

exotic marten
#

Oh yeah

sacred knot
#

Does the sticker for scanning need to be removed as well?

#

exotic marten
#

No

This a scam?

@jagged ember yeah but im talking abt my low mid system

$700-$800

if it's low mid, i think the S12iii would be fine

it's not a low priority unit in Tier C

whole harbor

why VTE?

just wondering

whole harbor

idk

It said tier c

#

In the psu list

do i get seasonic

Or the vte

shouldn't be a problem, i guess

@jagged ember
