[long dock]

Gamers Nexus for sure

[desert gulch]

But ltt makes funny jokes

[little osprey]

Hmmm ok

[desert gulch]

And puns

[stoic island]

ltt is just

[wanton cliff]

A shame GN's videos are written so boringly or I would watch him a lot more often

[stoic island]

hyperactive guy dropping things

[desert gulch]

Lol

[little osprey]

What about the last game hunter?

[wanton cliff]

Linus Drop Tips

[stoic island]

who

[dreamy lantern]

o

[long dock]

I also LIke JayzTwoCents

[wanton cliff]

kore wa nan desu ka?

[little osprey]

He does PC and console stuff

[wanton cliff]

worse than Linus IMO

[stoic island]

never heard of em

imo jays is basically another ltt

maybe slightly more informative

[small osprey]

lmao

[long dock]

in some ways he is, but he's more informative

[wanton cliff]

BitWit is just the funny guy who sometimes does builds at this point

[desert gulch]

Jay is just a boomer gamer

[long dock]

ANother one I watch is Hardware Unboxed. I do like BitWit too

[little osprey]

I heard of hardware unboxed.

[dreamy lantern]

there good

[stoic island]

I don't like hardware unboxed's format tbh

[long dock]

and of course, Paul's Hardware lol, he's alright too

[desert gulch]

Yeah

[wanton cliff]

Paul's hardware is yes

[stoic island]

I'd just turn to articles for most of the info he does

TPU, Tom's hardware, Anandtech, etc.

[little osprey]

I watch Paul's hardware and Toasty Bro's

[wanton cliff]

does K|NGP|N have a youtube channel?

[marsh kiln]

LTT

[stoic island]

prob not

[desert gulch]

Toasty is cringe imo

[stoic island]

oh yea buildzoid is good, but mainly for VRMs and mem stuff

[desert gulch]

I watch the verge

Great tutorials

On 2k pcs

[long dock]

might have to check that one out

[desert gulch]

Lol dont

I'm joking

Have you seen the verge pc build?

[little osprey]

Oh yeah so I forgot to take the picture of the fans so hold up.

[desert gulch]

They demonstrate what not to do

On everything

[long dock]

haha exactly1 😛

[dreamy lantern]

lol

[long dock]

electroBOOM rofl

[wanton cliff]

Also make sure you get these tweezers that we arent even going to show anywhere else in the rest of the video

[desert gulch]

Lol ye

[marsh kiln]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/fhNKnL

[desert gulch]

Don't shcok yourself on psu

Def not grounded

Put ram in backwords

No need for fans on rad

[unborn flicker]

U remember the reactor gaming pc I forget who did the review but the cringe face he made lowering the mobile into the thermal liquid

[wanton cliff]

small hard drive and large PSU

[unborn flicker]

Mobo

[wanton cliff]

overcompensation

[long dock]

how do you put in ram backward?!? they're keyed!

[desert gulch]

Lol the verge tried

[dreamy lantern]

rom

[desert gulch]

Then cut the video

[wanton cliff]

also a not so good GPU, for the budget

[desert gulch]

That ram is way overpriced

And could def go cheaper on mobo

[dreamy lantern]

powersuppy too

[wanton cliff]

yes and no; the RGB is worth it

[desert gulch]

I guess to some ppl

[wanton cliff]

even if you still want X570

[long dock]

RGB i can take or leave

[desert gulch]

Yeah

I'm on the asus tuf one and it's cheaper

Works fine

[wanton cliff]

$10 more expensive rn but agreed

[marsh kiln]

The cpu and 1650 are going to be changed to a ryzen 9 5950x and a rtx 3080

[little osprey]

Ok it was almost 6 fans.

the RGB boost perfomance
that is why there is RGB on high end builds

[wanton cliff]

this is a fact

[long dock]

lol ok then

[wanton cliff]

do you need 32gb ram?

[dreamy lantern]

https://tenor.com/view/corsair-rgb-rip-wallet-money-computer-gif-17670430

[little osprey]

Is the air flow good?

[desert gulch]

Maybe for sreaming

[uneven mist]

guys

[desert gulch]

And stuff

[severe axle]

rgb led heat

[uneven mist]

what is cpu_opt

?

[desert gulch]

Second cpu fan

[uneven mist]

k

[marsh kiln]

I will be doing streaming video editing and some 3d molding

[desert gulch]

Yeah

[long dock]

looks like it should be, Gatebox

[desert gulch]

Altho you can plug any case fan into cpu opt

If you want

Except when tuning fan curve it'll line up with main cpu fan

[little osprey]

So ok then I just need to look for a proper cooler for the cpu?

[desert gulch]

What cpu again?

[uneven mist]

wait so whats vdg

it comes out of my aio

oneof the cables

[long dock]

just a better one than the wraith that comes with it, especially if OC is involved

[desert gulch]

Is vdg a cable?

[little osprey]

Ok

[uneven mist]

dunno

[long dock]

it'll be fine, stock, for awhile at least, though

[desert gulch]

If it comes from near cpu it's the pump

[little osprey]

What is that?

[desert gulch]

Cable

Idk

Haven't heard of vdg

[little osprey]

Me neither

[desert gulch]

I'm guessing it's the pump wire

[desert gulch]

Where's it come from thi

[uneven mist]

the aio

[desert gulch]

Near the block that goes on cpu?

[uneven mist]

yes

[long dock]

looks like a normal pump wire

[desert gulch]

Then that's the pump

Yeah

[uneven mist]

so where does that go

[desert gulch]

Plug that into AIO_PUMP

[little osprey]

Let me take a look at the cables real quick.

[long dock]

lol didn't think my knowledge was good enough to hold my own in here

[uneven mist]

thats

i dont have an aio pump lmao

[desert gulch]

It's a port

[long dock]

OPT should work, IIRC

[desert gulch]

Maybe near middle of mobo

I'd go aio pump if I could

So you can put rad fans on cpu headers

[uneven mist]

ive got sys_fan5_pump?

[desert gulch]

You have the mobo manuel nearby?

Check the diagram of it

[uneven mist]

aight

[desert gulch]

And check the fan headers on it

[little osprey]

Can someone link me to a cooler for the CPU so that I can add to my wishlist? And I have a 600watt power supply added should I go higher than 600 watts for the graphics card?

[desert gulch]

What's your specs?

[next kestrel]

or just the cpu

[long dock]

and what's the rating on the PSU, 80 Gold or Platinum should work fine with your specs, but it might be a bit tight

[uneven mist]

any of them?

[desert gulch]

I'd say the sys pump 5

[uneven mist]

and is a pump header 3 pin nc it id

[long dock]

and if you OC you definitely want 750 or higher

[desert gulch]

The only difference with a aio header is that it's fan curve is at 100 percent all the time

Literally only difference

[little osprey]

Ryzen 9 cpu, x570 Gygabite aorus motherboard elite wifi, Geforce RTX 2060 graphics card are my specs

[uneven mist]

im confused the sysfan5pump has 4 pin

[desert gulch]

Why 2060?

[uneven mist]

and the cable u said is a 3 pin

[desert gulch]

It's fine

You can put a 3 pin on a 4 pin header

Works fine

[uneven mist]

wot side tho lol

[desert gulch]

It's keyed

You'll see

[uneven mist]

so i can put it on either side?

[desert gulch]

It's keyed

[little osprey]

Looking for something to play VRChat or possibly make VRChat avatars with.

[desert gulch]

It'll only go in 1 way

[uneven mist]

k

[desert gulch]

Oh I see

[uneven mist]

and for the aio fans i got 2 diff cables coming off

[desert gulch]

Yeah

2 fans

1 cable per fan

[uneven mist]

ik but

[desert gulch]

Plug into cpu and cpu opt

[uneven mist]

theres 2 for each fan

[desert gulch]

Pic?

[uneven mist]

so like rgb?

[little osprey]

Um so can someone give me some links

[desert gulch]

Uhh maybe

[uneven mist]

and i have an adapater

[desert gulch]

Show a pic of both connecters?

[uneven mist]

i put the adapter o

n

[little osprey]

Both connectors?

[desert gulch]

Uhh idk

I'd read instructions that came with aio

They'll tell you what to do

[uneven mist]

k

[teal bison]

Would I be able to use a dvi to hdmi and then a hdmi to usbc adapter to plug my monitor into my gpu?

[uneven mist]

the thing is i cant find a drgb header

only tho rgb 12v

actually

i only got one drgb

[uneven mist]

also

why does my aio have a fan header

and a vdg header

i mean ik my fans for aio are meant to have a header but my aio has one aswell

OH

my vdg could be my rgb for my aio?

[little osprey]

Oh! I think these might plug into the power supply.

[long dock]

yes

[uneven mist]

wait im all g

ik what to do

[little osprey]

I had to turn it all the way around to find another compartment that I wasn't thinking about.

I have another question about pc parts. Would it be wise to keep phone's away from the CPU box if I haven't built the rig yet?

[long dock]

shouldn't make a difference

[little osprey]

But phone's generate radiation heat.

[long dock]

not enough to make any difference

[little osprey]

Oh ok. Out of concern I'm still going to keep them away from it just to be safe.

[wanton cliff]

you shoudlnt need them

cant remember what they are for

[little osprey]

Need what exactly?

[wanton cliff]

the wire

I havent used it in anything ive built so far

it might be for HDDs, but I don't know

ive only ever messed with M.2

[little osprey]

I thought the wires that come with the case are for connecting to the power supply and other components.

Like the motherboard or the graphics card.

[wanton cliff]

is it from case or power supply?

[little osprey]

From the case. I don't have the power supply yet. I'm going to get the power supply last.

[wanton cliff]

you are probably going to be plugging it in to one of the headers at the bottom of the board. Like I said, I have no memory of using it, so it may not need to be used.

does the case have any significant RGB?

[little osprey]

At the moment I don't think it has any RGB from what I can see. But I'm not an expert on PC's. However CukUSA says the case supports RGB.

[wanton cliff]

supporting RGB and having RGB are two different things

My guess is that it either has a built-in controller or supports the use of a controller with front panel buttons

[little osprey]

Oh then I don't know.

[wanton cliff]

which case is it?

[little osprey]

The Cuk Mantis

[wanton cliff]

thats one letter away from being a really harsh insult lol

[little osprey]

Lol

It's not the same word though it's spelled with a k at the end.

[wanton cliff]

like the insult

anyways

[long dock]

rofl

[little osprey]

lol xd

[wanton cliff]

it looks like an alright case

a bit 2015 for my tastes but otherwise alright

[little osprey]

https://www.amazon.com/i9-9900KF-GeForce-Motherboard-Desktop-Computer/dp/B082VHTS2T/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=cuk+mantis&qid=1610411122&sprefix=cuk+mantis&sr=8-3

Except I didn't buy it from Amazon I bought it directly from CukUSA

https://cukusa.com

such a weird name xd

It was probably before the word became an insult on social media.

probably xd

[long dock]

you've been cuked lol

[little osprey]

🤣

😂

I was only looking for a cool case that would be compatible with the latest pc parts.

[little osprey]

u read my mind 😂

[long dock]

haha

[little osprey]

case is alright

Guess I'll have a powerful meme PC

[long dock]

lol especially if you can get a pic of the logo/name on it! rofl

[little osprey]

Actually it's a meme/anime PC

[wanton cliff]

anime is daddy

see: my pfp

[little osprey]

anime

[wanton cliff]

stfu warpig

you pig

anime is great

[long dock]

i like anime (shrugs)

[little osprey]

lol

[wanton cliff]

Go watch Evangelion or JoJo or something

OPM

[long dock]

but then, i'm a dirty old man, so...

[little osprey]

same xd

Ever heard of the VTuber Kizuna Ai?

[wanton cliff]

no

also

you say that as I'm opening Vroid studio to make a model for myself

[little osprey]

That's who is on the custom glass.

[little osprey]

anime is eww cartoon is best 😇

[wanton cliff]

stfu

[little osprey]

😂

Eh I don't watch cartoon network anymore. The shows are made for low IQ people

[wanton cliff]

the new ones are at least

[little osprey]

They will keep their IQ low for a long time.

I just watching some cartoons and laughing

like pink panther xd

I miss ed edd and eddy that was funny but they don't play that anymore.

yep

old school cartoon is best

oh its not build chat so anyways xd

Yeah my fault oops

no its not urs. who mentioned anime

[stoic island]

anime

[little osprey]

Because of this glass.

oh

looks cool

I have seen some other rig pictures here too and they look pretty cool.

[wanton cliff]

#build-pics

[little osprey]

i have just regular cases lol . i dont like being fancy xd

A lot of your set ups are cleaner then mine.

[teal bison]

my second monitor is on but only displays a black screen. The connection to the pc is kinda janky (dvi to hdmi adapter to hdmi to usb c adapter) wondering if that is a problem

[fleet pagoda]

I got screwed again by the motherboard

Literally

Never game

Came

Best buy says arriving today

[little osprey]

try press windows+p 😂

[fleet pagoda]

Usps says it hasnt arrived at the facility

[little osprey]

usps 😂

lmao

I don't want to game on a monitor. I've been a console peasant forever and that's what I'm used to. So I want to do PC gaming on my 4K 43inch TV.

gaming on tv is not good

[fleet pagoda]

Bro wtf

[little osprey]

its not fast enough

I don't really care about the frame rates.

I playing some fps games so its important to me

[wanton cliff]

A: get a monitor. it's worth it.

B: monitors have higher FPS and much lower latency

C: if you plan on gaming on your couch; not a good idea. Few wireless keyboards are made, and none of them are made for long distances (such as that between a couch and a TV)

and where will you put your mouse

and TVs are too big IMO (said from a former console peasent from a 4k 43" TV)

[little osprey]

he still can play with controller 🤔

I'm not going to game on the couch.

I turned my bedroom into a gamers lounge.

[wanton cliff]

true but games like CS:GO with a controller? also the latency on controllers is through the roof

[little osprey]

gaming on pc is much better . i mean graphics are much better

[little osprey]

ofc and latency on tv is also much

[wanton cliff]

bad latency. Bad

[little osprey]

I don't know how often I am going to jump into competitive games. Since I mostly play single player games that alone convinced me that I don't need to pay for stuff like PS+. If anything I'm more likely to need online for Nintendo games like Smash Bros so I have a Switch online subscribtion but I can cancel PS+ any time and be happy about it.

A TV should be fine for single player gaming.

yep . theres just high latency and low refresh rate but yeah if you not playing fps games it could be cool

Ok then.

[fleet pagoda]

Im gonna break something

I’ll destroy who ever did shipping for my package

These buffoons

How is getting my motherboard harder than me getting my 3070??

[little osprey]

couse usps 🤔

[wanton cliff]

nothing but great experiences with UPS tbh

[little osprey]

yeah ups is cool

[fleet pagoda]

Usps

🗑

[unborn flicker]

I love ups

[fleet pagoda]

Literally my package was supposed to be here today but apparently it hasnt arrived at the facility yet😐

[little osprey]

lmao

[fleet pagoda]

I alr had 2 doa boards in a row

Now this smh

I gonna burst a blood vessel

[unborn flicker]

Lol I have the opposite effect it'll say not suppose to arrive for one week then ot gets here in 2 days

[fleet pagoda]

Smhsmh

[unborn flicker]

Lol

Thats how my monitors was from. Newegg I got the 3 identical monitors it say 4 days I got it next day

Lol

Im like oh yess

Thats what daddy likes to see

🤣

[little osprey]

Probably the USPS man is a scalper.

newegg shipping are good

[unborn flicker]

Yea I love newegg

He gets his 3070 and it a 1050ti

Loool

[teal bison]

my second monitor is on but only displays "No Input Signal" when i plug it in. Ive checked all the cables and they seem to be plugged in correctly. It keeps flashing "Monitor going to sleep" for a couple seconds and then just displays a black screen for ~30 seconds before displaying the message again and repeating.
The connection to this monitor is a bit jank. It uses dvi which is being adapted to hdmi which is being adapted to usb c, so i dont know if that is what is causing the issue

[unborn flicker]

Somany adapter

[teal bison]

yeah i dont know if that is what is causing the problem or not though

[little osprey]

newegg have warehouse close to my city and it usually delivered next day 😂

[wanton cliff]

that is most likely what is causing the issue. passthrough and passthrough and passthrough isnt very efficient at all.

[teal bison]

ok, im ordering a dvi to displayport adapter which will make it a more direct connection, hopefully that helps

[little osprey]

I think it will

[wanton cliff]

or just get a new gpu at that point lol

or monitor

[little osprey]

lol i dont think so

adapters mostly making issues

[unborn flicker]

I have a slightly used strix 1050ti forsale🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

[little osprey]

Same apparently there is a newegg warehouse close to where I live.

[unborn flicker]

The fan however sounds like a turbo spooling up

[little osprey]

free next day delivery 😂

[wanton cliff]

is there a warehouse in chicago?

[unborn flicker]

Lolol

[little osprey]

And the USPS and UPS workers are good in my town I haven't had many bad experiences.

usps tracking is suc

it says delivered and delivering after 2 days 😂

[unborn flicker]

I use to load those brown turd mobiles

Lol

Then moved up to FedEx air freight

🤨

[royal musk]

i need help y’all

my pc won’t boot

it said cpu fan error

and i plugged the cpu fan back in and then it just doesn’t start in general

[muted patio]

To the CPU_FAN header?

[royal musk]

yes

[muted patio]

3 pin or 4 pin fan?

[royal musk]

4

[muted patio]

If you go into the BIOS, does it report an RPM for it and a curve?

If not, it may be disabled there

Also, just to check

It's the CPU_FAN header and not the CPU_OPT right?

[royal musk]

i got it to the bios for 5 seconds then my cpu overheated cause the cpu fan wasn’t on

so let me brb

[muted patio]

Ahhhhh

[royal musk]

lol

[little osprey]

u can connect it to sys_fan to see if fan is working

[drifting garnet]

Speaking of fans this was not like this 3 minutes ago

[little osprey]

🤔

[drifting garnet]

The connection was lose, time to get the electrical tape.

[royal musk]

got it working boys

idk why my cpu was getting so hot so fast

[uneven mist]

build is officially started

[little osprey]

yep do it xd

[royal musk]

nice mobo man

[uneven mist]

ty

[royal musk]

wanna see mine

[little osprey]

aorus ?

[uneven mist]

yes : )

[little osprey]

I have similar one . aorus is looks great

[royal musk]

good luck seeing that thing

[uneven mist]

yeah

lol

[little osprey]

lol

[uneven mist]

now the pain

[little osprey]

but rgb fusion is not that good sadly xd

[uneven mist]

bc im mountinng my aio

in front of case

[little osprey]

rip

[uneven mist]

i habe to take out the three front ones

and put my aio in

unless i mount it on the top?

[silent canyon]

Anybody know of servers that have stock alerts for the 3000 series gpu's

[uneven mist]

do i do that?

but if i mount in on the top it would be exhaust so worse cooling

stuff it

[little osprey]

if u have space on top , put it to top as exhaust

its much better ig

[uneven mist]

ok

im having problems

the clearance for my psu isnt enougj

i cant push it high enough to screw in these

oh well

f

[drifting garnet]

All better

[formal cosmos]

hello

i have a quick question

if i get a brand new cpu and bend a pin can i return it and get my money back?

it says there’s a 3 year warranty on the back of the cpu box

[muted patio]

bend a pin? That's not usually covered because it's user error

[little osprey]

🤔

never tried

😂

[little osprey]

u can little relax other screws and try to fit all of them first . if isnt its not a big deal xd

[formal cosmos]

i almost have all my pc parts here

i’m so scared to build it

[little osprey]

dont worry

[formal cosmos]

everything doesn’t look too hard but the scary part looks like putting in the cpu

[little osprey]

people here to help you just in case 😇

[little osprey]

its easiest part 😇

just make sure about triangles and put it to place

[formal cosmos]

now i wait

[exotic marten]

Power switch headers the hardest

[little osprey]

yep its little mind blowing

and some aio cables 😂

[formal cosmos]

ehh

the power switch headers don’t look that confusing to me

[little osprey]

u can watch some videos till they arrives

[formal cosmos]

yeah

[little osprey]

and dont worry about cpu its easy

[exotic marten]

Honestly none of it is hard

[formal cosmos]

what videos do you recommend watching?

[exotic marten]

LTT vids

[formal cosmos]

i just feel like ima put too much pressure and bend a pin

[formal cosmos]

okay

[exotic marten]

When you close the lid then there will be a good amount of pressure but it's normal

[formal cosmos]

i’ve just been rewatching a joey delgado pc build over and over again

[exotic marten]

Don't forget thermal paste

[formal cosmos]

i’m getting a ryzen 5 3600 cpu

doesn’t the cooler come with pre applied thermal paste?

[exotic marten]

Ohh yeah probably

Just gotta make sure it's not dried out

[little osprey]

@formal cosmos yep

oh tep i recommend change thermal

[exotic marten]

I would also recommend

[formal cosmos]

so... do i use the pre applied thermal paste or buy thermal paste

[robust birch]

Guys damn it rosewill making it so damn hard

I need help

[little osprey]

once my stock cooler stuck and came out with cpu 😂

it happens with 3600 xdd

[exotic marten]

You can use pre applied but applying new paste would be better

[formal cosmos]

damn

that’s scary @little osprey

[autumn wolf]

need to have it be warmed up first before trying to pry off a cooler

otherwwise that happens

[formal cosmos]

if i wanna apply thermal paste do i put it on the cpu or cpu cooler (ik it’s a dumb question)

[robust birch]

Why is my fan controller 6fkn pins!!!?

I'm losing my mind

[autumn wolf]

cpu is normally what people do most

youd be a mad lad to put it on the cooler first

[formal cosmos]

lol

[little osprey]

cpu

[verbal quarry]

well lucky for you i am a mad lad

[marble hedge]

Question

[formal cosmos]

are these the same thing? just with a little spatula

[marble hedge]

how well do corsair 510 nvmes do

[little osprey]

but not overdo it xd

[robust birch]

As of rn no cooler yet

[formal cosmos]

no gpu

[autumn wolf]

little spatula. lol

but ye theyre the same

[verbal quarry]

exurbia you running the rosewill prism???

[little osprey]

lol

[robust birch]

Ye

And I regret

[verbal quarry]

duuude

why?

[wanton cliff]

Is Wolfgang the new Ghosty?

[marble hedge]

Rosewill is pretty good product

[robust birch]

Its fukn mess just like the deep cool matrex 50

The rgb fans

[verbal quarry]

their aios are garbage

[robust birch]

Son una ostia

Bro the pinssssss aaaaaaa

[autumn wolf]

corsair 510's arent bad but they arent good especially at the price points, Rui

[robust birch]

6 pins per fan???

[verbal quarry]

also you kind want to get a rosewill fan connector

[formal cosmos]

when i apply thermal paste do i spread it around on my own or do i just let the cpu cooler rest on the cpu to spread it

[verbal quarry]

its easier that way

[little osprey]

u can just cross it or spread it not much matters to be honest

[robust birch]

But I think I can get it leaving 1 at air cuz 2 grond

[autumn wolf]

you can spread which is what the little spatula is for but you dont have to

[marble hedge]

I got an intel 660p rn

[autumn wolf]

you can just apply the thermal paste and let the cooler spread it

[marble hedge]

which does decent price to performance

[formal cosmos]

okay

[marble hedge]

I am looking for a 4tb nvme for my game drive

otherwise ima say $%^& it and grab an 8tb

[little osprey]

@formal cosmos importand is when u install cooler try to dont move it too much

[formal cosmos]

but is it really worth an extra $5 for a tiny spatula

[autumn wolf]

its not

[marble hedge]

not unless you want it done right xD

jk jk

[autumn wolf]

unless those are bigger tubes

[normal osprey]

I got the spatula version

[marble hedge]

go to a friends house

find a barbie spatula of their kids

use that

kidding ofc

[formal cosmos]

lol

[little osprey]

lol if ur friends are techie probobaly someone have some thermal paste at home xd

[formal cosmos]

i’ll just do a cross and let the cpu cooler sit on the cpu

[robust birch]

This good?

[little osprey]

yep

[marble hedge]

yes

[little osprey]

its alright one

[marble hedge]

arctic silver is gooood

[robust birch]

Dang I paid 30 for it

[marble hedge]

o.o

its worth like 6

[robust birch]

Well it had the cleaners but shipping a is a B

[little osprey]

30 is too much for thermal

Arctic silver has never done me wrong if you are overclocking

with it I was able to effectively overclock a 3600 with stock fan xD

so i personally say yes

[autumn wolf]

nah, $30 is a bargain

https://www.amazon.com/Thermal-Grizzly-Kryonaut-Extreme-Compound/dp/B08F78P2J3

look at this bad boi

[robust birch]

U know what's this for?

[marble hedge]

but @formal cosmos technically just use the cooler to spread it around evenly then affix

if you are worried about a good spread

[little osprey]

i mean corsair is pretty enough for 15

[robust birch]

Breaking my head since I bought it

[marble hedge]

Also I am running 5.2 overclock on my 10900k with a 240mm AIO with Arctic Silver

[formal cosmos]

what would happen if thermal paste falls on the edge of the cpu when it’s spreading

[marble hedge]

sorry

[formal cosmos]

like dripping down

ig

idk how to explain it

[little osprey]

@formal cosmos nothing important but try to not do it )

[marble hedge]

um, well depends on whether it has heavy metals in it

could cause issues, usually does not

[little osprey]

@formal cosmos if it happens just clean it lol xd

[marble hedge]

never met someone who had an issue with it really though

[formal cosmos]

what way do you guys recommend putting thermal paste

a cross?

an x?

lmk

[autumn wolf]

putting a pea size in the middle of the cpu

[little osprey]

cross is better

[verbal quarry]

whats your guys thoughts on rosewills aio?

[marble hedge]

I put an X

but THIN line X

[little osprey]

yep

X

[marble hedge]

you don't need to be super thick with it

[formal cosmos]

is a pea size in the middle good?

[marble hedge]

then if you are worried about getting the spread

[autumn wolf]

yes its good enough

[marble hedge]

just move your cooler in a circular motion a couple times

[formal cosmos]

that seems like the easiest way for me

[marble hedge]

then affix

Its never failed me

SMALL circular motion

just enough to make sure

[little osprey]

its not something to worry about that much @formal cosmos ur cpu wont be fried xd

[marble hedge]

Jay and Steve did a race on LTT

[little osprey]

if u not apply good it will overhead or shutdown in bad case thats it

[marble hedge]

and Jay forgot the thermal paste

it did not thermal throttle

so if you make sure you DO put some on

youll be fine

Clarify it was a race to fix the machine

and he was running CPU intensive benchmarks

so, ya just make sure to put some on

thin X is best

or large pea

[little osprey]

haha i did stupidest one xd I forgot to remove the protector on the cooler xdd

[marble hedge]

circular motion, affix evenly

then youll have no issue

oooofff

I am looking at my 6th build now. I just got heavily into tech. When I get into something though I get like... into it. Book worm, instruction vids, etc

Gamers Nexus is my fav

Thoughts

[little osprey]

same xd

[little osprey]

id recommend better mobo

[marble hedge]

the gigabyte that is near the same price is actually pretty amazing for its effectiveness

[little osprey]

yep

[marble hedge]

I think its like 2 to 5 dollars more

[little osprey]

aorus elite v2 have updated bios tho

[marble hedge]

and I have a system with a 3600 OC and 1660ti

and it works like a champ

check to see if the gigabyte PSU is cheaper too

[little osprey]

3600 with 1660s is my 2nd pc

[marble hedge]

they are usually 10 cheaper

[formal cosmos]

so... should i use the stock thermal paste or the arctic mx4 thermal paste

[marble hedge]

and they work wonders

stock

if it already has some it will be good enough

[little osprey]

@formal cosmos stock paste can got dried thats problem or its not bad

[marble hedge]

its not worth the 1 to 2 degrees to create the mess

just make sure its not cracked

[formal cosmos]

what?

the cpu cooler?

[marble hedge]

youll be able to tell if its overly dried

no

[formal cosmos]

or the thermal paste

[marble hedge]

the thermal paste

[little osprey]

paste ofc xd

[formal cosmos]

i didn’t know that it cracks 😳

lol

[marble hedge]

if its powdery

or if it cracks

[little osprey]

its cracks like dry skin xd

[marble hedge]

do you use foundation?

powdered make up at all

its like what happens when those get dry

[formal cosmos]

i was thinking of getting a new paste because i was thinking it lasted longer than stock paste

[marble hedge]

na

paste is paste

if it comes with it, save a buck

[formal cosmos]

hopefully stock lasts me a year

lol

[normal osprey]

@little osprey ima fix it

[marble hedge]

itll last a good 2 to 4

[formal cosmos]

years?

[marble hedge]

ya

[formal cosmos]

WOW!

[little osprey]

yes it is

[marble hedge]

UNLESS

you want to overclock

then replace that crap

[formal cosmos]

how would i now if i need new paste?

bad temps?

[marble hedge]

ya

[little osprey]

but i recommend clean and change paste in every year tbh

[marble hedge]

itll start getting a little toasty

[formal cosmos]

what’s bad temps?

[formal cosmos]

yeah

[marble hedge]

Depends on overclock and use

and quality

[formal cosmos]

i’m not gonna be over clocking

[marble hedge]

then you can use stock for the life of the computer

[little osprey]

3600 usually idling around 40c with stock cooler if i remember right

[marble hedge]

like 2 to 4 years

ya

gets up to about 60 to 70 under heavy load

if it starts thermal throttling

then replace the paste

otherwise, really no need

[little osprey]

stock cooler is not effective if you wanna work under 100% load xd

[marble hedge]

like I am running a 5.2 overclock on a 10900k. Every 6 months I am gonna check it

[little osprey]

but yeah if you gaming it will be ok )

[formal cosmos]

this is my build https://pcpartpicker.com/list/fDMqW3

[marble hedge]

mmm

[little osprey]

nice

[marble hedge]

Asrock... eh....

[little osprey]

all i can say u can add 3600mhz rams

[formal cosmos]

and i bought 4 of these fans ARCTIC P12 PWM PST - 120 mm Case Fan with PWM Sharing Technology (PST), Pressure-optimised, Quiet Motor, Computer, Fan Speed: 200-1800 RPM - White/White https://www.amazon.com/dp/B081VPP24C/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glc_fabc_ONq.FbCYGRB28

[floral frigate]

Hey so I’ve been getting an issue that my GPU is only displaying on one of my 2 monitors, nvidia control panel doesn’t want to open, and DDU isn’t uninstalling my drivers. Any help would be highly appreciated.

[normal osprey]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/C9FBxc

@little osprey

[formal cosmos]

what’s wrong with asrock?

[marble hedge]

They are hit or miss

[little osprey]

much much better

[formal cosmos]

wdym

[marble hedge]

I can second that Aztek

that looks better

literally like i said

[formal cosmos]

my mobo hasn’t came yet

so i can get a refund

but my budget for a mobo is under $135

[little osprey]

@floral frigate u should run pc on safe mode to uminstall drivers clean with ddu

its ok mobo

[formal cosmos]

@marble hedge should i change the mobo?

[little osprey]

my friend have asrock mobo and no any problem

[marble hedge]

If its already on the way in this climate

then keep it

[formal cosmos]

it’s not

[normal osprey]

@marble hedge @little osprey you think i can switch the gpu to a better one in the future or will i have to upgrade something else like the cpu to run a 3060 ti or 3070

[marble hedge]

so I am partial when it comes to budget

check Gigabyte

[formal cosmos]

i also chose it because it’s white kinda

[marble hedge]

they usually have some pretty good deals and are solid

That CPU can run up to a 3080

[little osprey]

@normal osprey 3600 is pretty enough to 3600 ig

[marble hedge]

so if you upgrade anything, upgrade the cpu in that build and make sure you are at 32gb ram

[normal osprey]

Its better to upgrade the cpu before gpu right

[marble hedge]

no

with THAT cpu

its better to upgrade RAM and GPU

[little osprey]

lol xd its ok mobo actually not that bad xd

[marble hedge]

I am nit picking is all Jaden

I have my brand preferences

[little osprey]

couse for 135$ no any good ATX b550 around

I just using aorus b450 elite v2 on my 3600

i got it for 95$ on sale

[marble hedge]

I mean the MSI is 139

[normal osprey]

So for the psu i was just gonna use the stock one that comes with the motherboard you think i should buy a better one or is the stock one gonna last me a few years

I mean the cpu cooler*

[little osprey]

you can use stock but if you wanna overclock it or working under heavy load you should buy better cooler

[marble hedge]

cpu cooler with 3600 is more than adequate

[jagged spire]

Just wondering

[normal osprey]

Whats the difference between the 3600 and 3600x

[marble hedge]

Hey @formal cosmos are you doing rgb fans or does that thing come with fans?

[jagged spire]

Can someone build me a pc list $1000 budget priority gaming

[little osprey]

just get 3600

[marble hedge]

nothing really

its not worth the X

sure

[little osprey]

just little bit difference and its not worth to pay extra for it

[marble hedge]

hodl on chucky

[jagged spire]

Ty

[marble hedge]

you want to hop in vc

I can walk you through what I am looking at

[jagged spire]

No it’s fine

[marble hedge]

color?

[jagged spire]

Not a priority but good to have

Black

Pink

Blue

Retro

[marble hedge]

k

and over clocking or non?

just need a good enough machine?

[jagged spire]

No I don’t think so

Ye

[little osprey]

https://www.newegg.com/abs-ali467/p/N82E16883360052 lol

it should be better if its 1660s actually xd

[cyan canopy]

Going to power up my newly finished pc but it won't boot far enough to install my OS. Motherboard,cpu fan, all case fans power up. I get no beep nor do I get a display. Everything seems to be plugged in where it should be but still nothing

[marble hedge]

@jagged spire

you can add the case for budget or to look a bit better

and extra storage

[little osprey]

gpu power connection 🤔

[marble hedge]

technically you do not need the cpu cooler as it comes with a stock one and that one will do

[cyan canopy]

So currently waiting for my gpu to show up tomorrow, so was currently running display off the onboard graphics

[little osprey]

oh

[marble hedge]

mg

I know that feeling Zetta

[little osprey]

it can be bios

[marble hedge]

what you got coming?

[cyan canopy]

1660ti

[marble hedge]

oh

[little osprey]

what cpu

[cyan canopy]

Ryzen 7

[marble hedge]

if its a Ryzen then you are sol

yeah

[cyan canopy]

Whys that

[marble hedge]

non G?

they don't have on board graphics

[cyan canopy]

Ahh so even though my motherboard has it the processor won't allow it to boot since its missing the gpu

[marble hedge]

bingo

if its Ryzen or the F skews

they don't have integrated graphics

[cyan canopy]

Well that explains it

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/HRgPVc

Thats my build

Different gpu sorry

[marble hedge]

np

yeah

can't run that til the graphics card gets there

[jagged spire]

Sry

[marble hedge]

Everyone swears by Ryzen

[jagged spire]

Ty rui

[marble hedge]

np

that is a very basic build

[cyan canopy]

Well that makes sense. I was pissed

[marble hedge]

feel free to upgrade where you need it

This is why when i build its usually with an intel equivalent unless the Ryzen request comes up

I explain that to everyone I build for

[cyan canopy]

Last pc I built was 10 years ago, so wanted to start over with a entry build as I switch career fields.

[marble hedge]

that is a pretty good and solid one

[cyan canopy]

I wanted to run intel but all my buddies pushed for the ryzen

I was originally looking at i7 or i8

[marble hedge]

from there you can upgrade that graphics to a 2070/3070/3080/2080S

easily

[uneven mist]

bois

i dont understand this whole front conenctor thing

ik theres multiple cables

and there all smal

[cyan canopy]

The 1660ti was the only one available so thats what I grabbed, and I've still been waiting 2 weeks for it

[uneven mist]

all i can find is a power sw

[marble hedge]

yeah

[uneven mist]

someone pls help lmao

[marble hedge]

the 1660ti is my sweet spot gpu as the 1660s is always out of stock rn

I need pics

I have built 4 systems with em

[cyan canopy]

This damn gpu shortage screwed my whole build up

[marble hedge]

yeah I would say so

the best thing honestly is to be patient and watch daily

I just got the one I have been wanting myself

[uneven mist]

the only problem is my phone isnt working rn

for some reason

[marble hedge]

oof

[uneven mist]

so what am i looking for

[marble hedge]

front wires

[uneven mist]

all i can find is POWER SW

[marble hedge]

are kinda... there are a lot

[uneven mist]

theres legit nothing

else

[marble hedge]

and i don't know the mobo, etc

[cyan canopy]

I'll run the 1660 for now and upgrade later when there's not a massive shortage

[uneven mist]

B550 aorus pro ax

[marble hedge]

oh! you should be able to find a youtube on it

it would be much more helpful than myself

it will work for most games until a couple years for now

[uneven mist]

i cant find any

of looked

ive*

im just stuck lmao

[marble hedge]

as I cannot see I cannot help really. I am more of a hands on problem solver :/

ATX?

or ITX

[pliant lake]

whats the problem?

[uneven mist]

ATX

[marble hedge]

what are you looking for on it?

[uneven mist]

actually nvm

[marble hedge]

for most items, check the manual

[uneven mist]

theres only ment to be one front panel connector

[marble hedge]

they will have a diagram

[uneven mist]

which is the power sw

which parts of that whole big port do i plug it in

[marble hedge]

?

look at the schematics

they label everything and where they go

[uneven mist]

my mobo manual has been consulted

[pliant lake]

the arrow side(of the case cable) goes into the positive pin, or the side with a plus

[uneven mist]

anyways thanks for your guys help

[marble hedge]

oh yeah THAT part

[uneven mist]

ty

[marble hedge]

make sure everyting is put in correctly and you should be fine but yeah each mobo has em in a different spot. Mine actually labeled it on the MOBO

worst part of the whole build xD

especially in an itx and you forgot about it xD

[uneven mist]

ahah lol

so all i have now i think is the sata for my hdd and the VGA for my gpu

and hopefully it all works

oh and i forgot

my aio

lmao

[marble hedge]

First build?

[uneven mist]

yup

[marble hedge]

yeah I was the same way

just wait til it turns on

[uneven mist]

so AIO, HDD, VGA

lol

[marble hedge]

you are gonna feel so relieved

[uneven mist]

and all the annoyign rgb connectors 😠

[marble hedge]

Now just so you know. It can cycle a couple times

[uneven mist]

oh ok

[still roost]

quak#0020 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[marble hedge]

and the Ryzen build I did took about 45 secs

[uneven mist]

if it did it

lol

well imma get back to building

[fossil halo]

i low key wanna do a speed build

i think air cooled i could do sub 2 hr

[uneven mist]

wait

my aio has a fan cable coming out of it

would that be for the pump?

[little osprey]

yep

[uneven mist]

so ive got a header on my board called sys_fan5_pump

would that be right?

[little osprey]

dont forget connect it lol

[fossil halo]

probably

[little osprey]

yea

[fossil halo]

there is a thing

[uneven mist]

and i also dont think i have enough d-rgb connectors

[fossil halo]

called

M A N U A L

[uneven mist]

lmao

[jagged spire]

Is this a good build

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/X9d33Z

[fossil halo]

which is very useful in the pc building process

[uneven mist]

ive only got 2

i need 4

[little osprey]

every mobo is different but if theres pump , connect to it xd

[uneven mist]

3*

[fossil halo]

lets have a look

[jagged spire]

Gpu to be determined

[little osprey]

it is

[fossil halo]

oh ok

then not bad

faster ram maybe?

[uneven mist]

@little osprey wot do i do if ive got 3 d-rgb connectors needed to plug in and only 2 on my mobo

am stuffed?

[jagged spire]

Ok ty

👍

[fossil halo]

and i think

[little osprey]

~@uneven mist splitter xd

[fossil halo]

that ssd may not be the best thing in the world

[uneven mist]

but i dont have a splitter ahhhh

f

[jagged spire]

I can put in the critical p1

[formal cosmos]

what thing?

[marble hedge]

case?

[formal cosmos]

and no i’m not getting rgb fans

the case comes with 2 black fans

[uneven mist]

oh well

[marble hedge]

oh

ok was gonna say um

That case is a bit pricey for that

[formal cosmos]

it used to be $70

but they raised the price

[marble hedge]

can get 4 fans and a case for that price if you are looking to get good airflow

I mean they are RGB but yeah if you aren't going for that look i get ya

[normal osprey]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/nd7kz7

[spare yew]

hey random question yall

[marble hedge]

As long as you are happy with the build 👍

[spare yew]

what r some of the benchmarks yall would use to stress test ur system?

[normal osprey]

I feel like the ram could be better

[marble hedge]

where is the graphics card

[normal osprey]

Its the 5600 xt

I was just checkin the parts that im building around it

[severe axle]

case could be better

[desert gulch]

get better ssd

[severe axle]

ssd is sata

[desert gulch]

ram is overpriced

id go with a cx550 for psu

much better value

wait

what gpu are you gonna get

[marble hedge]

there is a seasonic 650w that is cheaper

good brand

[desert gulch]

no

brand doesnt mean anything really

[marble hedge]

its better W

[desert gulch]

doesnt matter

tier matters

[marble hedge]

just as reputable

[desert gulch]

no

[fossil halo]

s12ii

[desert gulch]

never brand over model

[fossil halo]

dont get

i hear its not good

i have it

but its also non modular

which is annoying asf

[desert gulch]

like rui look at corsair

they make some great psus

[fossil halo]

corsair power supplies doo doo i thought

[desert gulch]

they make some bad ones too

no

[marble hedge]

they also double 8 pin

[desert gulch]

not all

[fossil halo]

wait yo

btw

[marble hedge]

which is annoying and can ruin psu

[desert gulch]

corsair makes good and bad

[fossil halo]

does the s12iii have enough connectors for 3060ti

[desert gulch]

al brands makes good and bad

[fossil halo]

im not sure if it does

[desert gulch]

thats why its best to shop by model

[fossil halo]

bc i want to fit one in my pc in the future

im not sure if i have the connectors

[frozen junco]

Dadadadada

[normal osprey]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/yZbFHz

There

[frozen junco]

Want to here a fun story

I need help I have been doing this for 3 hours and I need help

[fossil halo]

well
