Okay
placid notch
Okay now the last thing is insert the GPU and connect to psu if I’m correct
muted patio
6+2 pin is for GPU
And power your SSD/hard drives if you have any
If you have an NVME only, no power for that
glacial umbra
is userbenchmark trustworthy cpu wise?
placid notch
Yes only NVME
glacial umbra
because it's saying i3-8300 is better than ryzen 3 3100 but other websites say otherwise
placid notch
They’d need to be removed by force
urban trellis
@placid notch yes u remove those bars
zealous edge
But it depends on who tested it..
placid notch
Okay
urban trellis
Not all of them tho
muted patio
No, don't remove by force
There's a screw holding them in
at the top, inside
Metal slot for GPU
placid notch
Okay so the one next to the SSD
muted patio
Ye

If I was you I would watch a pc build guide while building a pc
placid notch
If I was you I would watch a pc build guide while building a pc
Literally did but I got confused after 1 1/2 hours haha
muted patio
He's good, we got this
zealous edge
@muted patio What do download managers do???
muted patio
Give you virus'
zealous edge
Okay the gpu is in but where would the bracket go?
U don't put it in
muted patio
bracket goes from card mount screws in the front down the length of the GPU
But don't use it
Don't need to
Just leave it in the box
placid notch
Okay
Yeah I’ll leave it out
Does it matter in what direction I put the 6x2 plugs into the GPU?
They fit both ways
quick shore
is it worth uninstalling chipset drivers for a cpu if I’m replacing it with the same cpu
muted patio
Oh
quick shore
Like if I got drivers for a 3600 and I’m putting in another 3600 should I keep those chipset drifted
muted patio
Dual 8 pins
quick shore
drivers*
muted patio
ye fine
placid notch
Okay cool
muted patio
Ye fine also
quick shore
sick
placid notch
I think I have nothing left
What else need I to consider before trying to start?
CPU, GPU, SSD, RAM, CPU Cooler and motherboard are in
All cables from case connected
PSU is connected to CPU GPU and MOBO
placid notch
Yes
muted patio
Push button, go vrrom
placid notch
Aight let me close the case
quick shore
what’s going on with ur build
muted patio
Done and gonna go zoom
quick shore
oh is he building for first time
muted patio
Ye
quick shore
ahhhhhh
Also I’m prolly just gonna buy another 3600, these ryzen 7’s be crazy bro 😫
in terms of these prices 
quick shore
I like their gpu’s
placid notch
OKAY IM ABOUT TO START IT UP
quick shore
I’ve had their 1070 for bout 2 years, hasn’t failed me
worn crane
Yeah this sketch ass dude scammed me and the card was out of warrsnty
placid notch
There is this orange thing that came on after turning on the PSU @muted patio
Anything to worry about or should I hit the button?
muted patio
Are those lights or fire??
placid notch
quick shore
Yeah this sketch ass dude scammed me and the card was out of warrsnty
W that you were able to rma it
muted patio
Cuz that blur
quick shore
What mobo u have
muted patio
Looked like flames
placid notch
Hahaha
muted patio
PUSH BUTTON GO
muted patio
Give it time
placid notch
The cpu cooler isn’t spinning
Okay
shouldn’t the fan start spinning right away tho?
raw crane
Yo
raw crane
So for aRGB parts in the pc, how do we control the lights?
placid notch
Should I turn off and readjust?
I just realized there is a cable at the cpu cooler uncomfortably close to the fan
raw crane
Is there something we need to hook it up to?
muted patio
The motherboard
raw crane
Welp
quick shore
that and or a software
raw crane
We control it on the monitor?
quick shore
depends on what rgb u got and which part and manufacturer
muted patio
Software from motherboard manufacturer
quick shore
like Corsair has iCue that u use for their stuff
raw crane
Would you say they have good ram and fans?
raw crane
Okay I’ll look deeper
raw crane
Otay, ye I was originally just gonna get RGB but I wanna control the lights :))
placid notch
Okay I just detected an error @muted patio it says cpu fan isn’t installed correctly
It spun way to fast
Shut it off for now
muted patio
Looks like it
quick shore
vintage I ain’t tripping right
muted patio
Cable in fan?
muted patio
That's fine
placid notch
Oh really?
muted patio
Wait for everything to boot
spice ibex
What settings can a gtx 1660 run cod Cold War at?
muted patio
That sound is without a cable in it?
Stand the PC up properly lol
If it's laying flat
placid notch
Nope it was standing up
But I just realized the cable is hanging in the fan
But I can’t unplug the fan for some reason lol
Like it’s literally stuck
muted patio
Ehm
placid notch
And I don’t want to use too much force
muted patio
Just leave it be then
placid notch
I turned off the PSU and everything
placid notch
What about the extreme noise tho
placid notch
hollow grail
muted patio
clean CPU and cooler
placid notch
Wait the CPU?
muted patio
Install 180 degrees around

No cable in fan to go brrrrrrrrrrr?
placid notch
No cable in fan
muted patio

hollow grail
do u have a windows install usb
placid notch
Yes
Should I plug the usb in right away?
Or should I let it boot the first start up
muted patio
Ye
placid notch
Okay
placid notch
Yes
placid notch
Okay for some reason it says couldn’t find any bootable devices
But I use the same usb stick I booted win10 for my old pc
placid notch
Yup says the system cannot find any bootable devices
Usb is plugged in the back at the motherboard
Let me double check if I remove the usb and re insert it do I have to restart?
Or will it still recognize the boot device
muted patio
Save and continue, see if it boots
placid notch
Pressed F10 it just restarted and got me back to the same menu
f8 still doesn’t do anything
muted patio
Hmmm, look for a UEFI BIOS setting
muted patio
What motherboard?
placid notch
Asus prime z490M plus

analog pulsar
I have a question
hasty bobcat
although rn i just make my own usbs lul
same
even tho they are huge compare to the thumbdrives
analog pulsar
So there’s Intel and AMD okay....my question is does high clock speeds mean higher FPS or what
little osprey
So there’s Intel and AMD okay....my question is does high clock speeds mean high...
depends on architeture and IPC
muted patio
Because the clock speed thing is spoopy
hollow grail
@hasty bobcat those arcanite drives are fast tho
hasty bobcat
jokes on you. I got the enclosure free
hasty bobcat
SSK
little osprey
So there’s Intel and AMD okay....my question is does high clock speeds mean high...
anyway as of now
zen 3 basically wins over the 10th gen intel CPUs
with 11th gen bringing in some perfomance increase but at same time begin limited to 8 cores so...it's up to you
though 10-11th gen gonna survive till like when ddr5 is cheap so...
hasty bobcat
rog is so extra smh
analog pulsar
anyway as of now
zen 3 basically wins over the 10th gen intel CPUs
with 11th gen...
I was gunna go with i5 10400 for starter cpu....orrrrrr I can go with some AMD 3 or i3
little osprey
don't
little osprey
10400f is like 50$ more than i3 10100
not worth to get a i3 10100
plus ryzen 3 is really unstable on price

what fans u usibng
Stock fans of the MB311L case

Should I get it
what are u gonna use it for?

@muted patio snappy driver installer origin is my best friend
havent actually manually gotten drivers in years
hollow grail
origin
was when the dev got pissed
that they added adware
and took his toys to another sandbox basically haha
little osprey
Should I get it
if you gonna game, you don't wanna go for xeon unless you are on a very thight budget or want a budget server
plus high cores count gonna generate more heat meaning that you gotta get less clocks per core
analog pulsar

u can game hard on a xeon
they have unlocked models
analog pulsar

Just get cooler to cool it

u can game hard on a xeon
well yeah but still way better to get like consumer cpu for gaming 
hollow grail
no
analog pulsar
little osprey
sure
if you wanna host a server or something or you if your budget is smol
e5 1650 is poggers to game on
analog pulsar
🤔
hollow grail
i cannot imagine you managing several vms so dont even think abt it
little osprey
btw, that 16 cores xeon is really good for a homemade server
little osprey
for what?
hollow grail
btw, that 16 cores xeon is really good for a homemade server
that thing slaps my home server lol
well the one i run vms off of
little osprey
nice

or well
there is some possible new CPUs from amd aswell
5000 non X CPUs to be more exact
but gonna take alot of time though for them to release

Hey everyone, I’m looking at building an AMD machine before the new year, I currently have a ryzen 7 5800x and was wondering if this motherboard would be any good/ and if there is a bios flashback mode as I don’t have a boot cpu
upper cobalt
why are you getting royal 
upper cobalt
yeah but the g skill royal ram is way overpriced
muted patio
🤷 People pay for looks
hollow grail
🤷 People pay for looks
it looks like ass
weak wraith
You don’t need royal if you like the royal look, you can buy neo and spend 10$ to get the royal light bar
hollow grail
would rather have green ram vs royal
muted patio
I mean, dual vs single rank with Ryzen isn't much. Speed and timings do far more, as does populating all 4 slots instead of 2
weak wraith
I am actually turning my neo into royal
lavish ore
Opinions on this build? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/wvVxxc

It should be dual rank ram, yes
hollow grail
sucks

Yea my friends have been telling me that

youre gonna run into a lot of weird issues with oem boards
buoyant mist
It blinks? and won't power on
muted patio
Which exact one do you have?
hollow grail
@muted patio dell consumer boards are WEIRD man
buoyant mist
but once i put the old ones in they work
muted patio
What Ram is the "old ram"?
buoyant mist
G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600) Desktop Memory Model F4-3200C16D-16GVKB
muted patio
And what are you putting in it?
buoyant mist
and old is Hyper X kingston
muted patio
KK, brb
hollow grail
like @buoyant mist im not saying that to be an ass or anything just generally dell consumer systems have some weird quirks that make them less suitable for upgrade or power usage
hollow grail
@muted patio some dell systems ive used havent known how to clock ram down
might be that the ram needs to be 3000 or 2666 and the board just doesnt downclock it automatically
buoyant mist
@hollow grail No after many issues, I totally agree my friends are also urging me to sell but that takes time and I want to game lol
hollow grail
<@!730975292755279933> No after many issues, I totally agree my friends are also...
felt that in my soul
whats in it rn?

8GB HyperX(TM) FURY DDR4 XMP a t 2666MHz
Is there a way to fix in bios? or its completely hopeless and I need to return these
muted patio
I'm reading, stand by

Thank you!
hollow grail
like
oem boards are strange
and i meant the full specs @buoyant mist
right now is a good time to sell cause u can charge $300 more and no one cares theyll still buy it
buoyant mist
UHm let me check!
lavish ore
Why is nzxt h200 more than h210 when h210 is newer rip
muted patio
Did you ADD the Gskill or REMOVE the Hyper X and install the Gskill?
buoyant mist
Amd ryzen 7 3700, processor, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070
i removed the hyper x
and installed both Gskills
into the white slots since thats where dell had the first hyper x in a white slot
muted patio
Mmm

Why is nzxt h200 more than h210 when h210 is newer rip
they dont make it anymore iirc

The airflow

happily not my system

airflow comes from rear panel and top

Huh

lets it look clean as hell
while having rly great airflow for a case with that much glass

10c is a lot
it can mean the difference between 80c full load

ONLY 10c if you're lucky

it's not like everything is like 50c and another 10c wouldn't hurt
10c can and will hurt

idc about noise anymore because every gpu ive bought has coil whine which is more annoying that noise literarly both my 2080 3080 and 580 had. coil whine

you sure it's GPU coil whine and not the PSU lol
frozen junco
Just don’t transport it

It won't damage the slot or anything?

i dont like that one as much

guys anyone else come to a point where most pc builds dont look good to you because youve seen so many of the same 011 dynamic build 24/7 posted everywhere
hollow grail
011 dynamic is meh looking imo
ripe wedge
which is why its not great imo
tacit gull
it used to look good for me but every single person has that case now and it looks terrible imo, its like seeing the same person everyday for every. year that attractivness goes down

too common

The build primarily incorporates local Australian timbers – Jarrah and Tasmanian Oak. These can be found on the external veneer as well as the Shoji (screen), GPU backplate and panels for cable concealment (above motherboard).
real wood
This has been my most challenging and rewarding build to date! 3 years of conceptualization and 3 months of actual building. A first for me was making my own custom sleeved cable extensions using 550 Paracord; the end results are so worth the burnt fingers!! Overall, a build that I’m extremely proud of and one that will sit on my desk for a long time to come.
tacit gull
it only looks good from the side
ripe wedge
anti sag like a boss
pseudo beacon
Any suggestions on what I should change?
I won't be doing much gaming on it and my focus is on the cpu
muted patio
I got nothing
Other than your PSU is over rated for that build but leaves room to upgrade
If you want to save some money, this is a good 650W
And will support a 3060/3070 in the future no problem
muted patio
YW
little osprey
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/fPZV2V thoughts?
No gpu yet because I’m still debating
Going for a 3070 tho
Maybe a better cpu
hasty bobcat
they did announce 5700x and 5900
muted patio
Oh, did they?
hasty bobcat
that or is was leaked
muted patio
Leaked I think
hasty bobcat
most likely but its logical to assume
little osprey
Cool
I’m super dumb
Lol
most likely a leak
but likely for a 5600 to happen anyway.
the question is when that cpu gonna be released.
somber marsh
I didn’t think they want to name it 5700x cuz people finna confuse it with the 5700xt
Prolly gonna be a 5800 non x

How do I check a file for malware.

Ah, alright then, thank you.

You odn't, you use it to check the checksum
Scan it with malwarebyutes or Windows Defender

The three wires on the one side ALL go to fans

Its a 3 pin
muted patio
Only ONE of the two wires on the other side will be connected
to the motherboard
One will be not used
Well, both are 3 pin
But one has a space and one does not
ONly one will work
placid notch
Okay now it’s screwed open
muted patio
One has a space between holes the other does not
For two different RGB style headers

check the wires
In the pic you posted
You had one side of black splitter wired to the other side
muted patio
no

So unplug this

Start over from scratch
unplug all the RGB lol
All the RGB from fans, put those to the side

Also the one that’s plugged into CHA_FAN?
