#

That's a small difference it's probably because of manufacturing

#

All ssds have different speeds never the same

#

Just like different GPUs

#

Even if both exact same one

#

If it was a major difference then it makes sense that's just like 300 mbps

#

And 300 mbps is nothing for a fast drove like the 980 pro

muted patio Jan 22, 2021, 6:38 AM

The waterblock has to go on the GPU

#

Which means the VRAM under the waterblock won't be cooled as well

#

It's an aio for GPUs. I could still liquid cool it w/o a pump and all that

If I find one that lines up properly

muted patio Jan 22, 2021, 6:39 AM

#

There is no AIO that will have VRAM water cooled lol

#

So either go with the air cooler or a full waterblock cooler loop

#

so the VRAM gets cooled off well

See the chips around the GPU in the center? That's the VRAM. An AIO basically blocks those because the water block for the GPU covers it.

Bc the 15p sata cable is from the case and I don't know where to plug it into

#

Specifically the front i/o panel

little osprey Jan 22, 2021, 8:06 AM

#

those cables coming from psu . is your psu modular ?

west linden Jan 22, 2021, 8:07 AM

#

Look at the recent pic i sent and you'll know what I mean by the sata cable

#

Bc there's a 15p sata and another wire I don't know where to plug in

#

I'm a noob😁👍

there would be cable like that coming from psu

west linden Jan 22, 2021, 8:09 AM

Yeah but it's from the front i/o panel and the manual says I need to connect it to the psu😭

I don't have one😭

little osprey Jan 22, 2021, 8:12 AM

#

u can use molex to sata

west linden Jan 22, 2021, 8:13 AM

#

It has two female sata connectors I think that's what they are called😅

#

And it routes out from a molex connector

#

Sorry I don't know much about the insides of a pc😅😅😅

little osprey Jan 22, 2021, 8:14 AM

#

but there would be 2 or more sata connector on psu

#

maybe theyre connect to hdds

west linden Jan 22, 2021, 8:15 AM

#

I think so but can I connect a sata cable to them for power?

I believe they have a builder as well

thx for that

but it does looks all compatible but i would double check with pcpartpicker

what other parts are you upgrading?

if so your 750w will probs be fine

Even if my current one has a draw of 204W?

uneven mist Jan 22, 2021, 1:11 PM

yeah should be find

#

fine*

#

your psu should be able to last until you have like a 3080 or more

#

and a ryzen 9 or more

little osprey Jan 22, 2021, 1:12 PM

#

uneven mist but it does looks all compatible but i would double check with pcpartpicker

i can't put the ssd and the case in pcpartpicker tho

What ssd and what case?

Cause pcpartpicker has nearly everything under the sun even stupid cheap offbrands

Ssd's a pretty compatible all across the board as long as it's a sata

i wouldbt be going with a gigabytye ssd

little osprey Jan 22, 2021, 1:13 PM

#

Especially 3rd gen gigabyte

uneven mist Jan 22, 2021, 1:13 PM

your generally better of going with like WD, Sabrent, Samsung Evo

#

look for something in those areas

little osprey Jan 22, 2021, 1:13 PM

#

Maybe if it was 4th gen, but those are expensive

#

I'd recommend team mp34, samsung evo, or crucial p1

uneven mist Jan 22, 2021, 1:14 PM

and also that case seems like a one of random thing do you will have to find something as a placeholder i guess

scenic quiver Jan 22, 2021, 2:07 PM

I have a small issue and wondering if I can get help here. I'm building a pc for my work and the case fans that came with this case have male ends. 3 fans with 2-pin male connectors. And my motherboard has all male pins for case fans. Either I missed something or I've just been out of pc assembling for far too long..

📎 20210122_080152.jpg

civic tusk Jan 22, 2021, 2:08 PM

#

Looks like daisy chain connectors to me

#

Did the fans not come with a splitter for connecting them to the mobo

scenic quiver Jan 22, 2021, 2:09 PM

#

3 separate connections. Mobo came with a 3-1 daisy chain adapter but its male-ended aswell.

📎 20210122_080208.jpg

civic tusk Jan 22, 2021, 2:11 PM

#

Hmmm very strange

#

The splitter going into the motherboard makes sense but the connections coming from the fans don't

scenic quiver Jan 22, 2021, 2:13 PM

#

I caught myself checking doctor Google for a female to female adapter, but didn't see anything that worked. I'm not opposed to soldering wires to make this work haha, but thats a super last resort.

civic tusk Jan 22, 2021, 2:13 PM

#

Honestly im really confused on why there are only female connectors

#

Makes no logical sense

scenic quiver Jan 22, 2021, 2:14 PM

#

I thought the same thing.

civic tusk Jan 22, 2021, 2:15 PM

#

What fans are they?

scenic quiver Jan 22, 2021, 2:17 PM

#

Case is a cougar panzer max. And mobo is Asus rog strix b550e. The case fans are the 120mm that came with the case.

#

I read somewhere that the 3way splitter for the fans can't exceed 1amp. Those the fans together pull a total of .48 amps. So less than half an amp, I could in theory just solder the connections and it should work. They are just fans, no rgb.

scenic quiver Jan 22, 2021, 3:12 PM

They weren't what I thought the 3 connectors were. I thought they were case fan connectors, bit they are male-terminated. So I pulled 1 fan out and chased down the ending and found out, the 3 wired connections I was looking at were not fans. And truthfully don't know what they go to. I apologize if this sounds confusing.
