Hmm
I cant stop buying pc parts
Man I’ve been waiting for that p500a to be in stock since forever
Yeah the RGB one Ive been waiting for it to be in stock but I ended up picking another case since it never came in stock
awwww
Such a nice case
Fan ded then
Fan is like $10-12
My mom
If you want just increase the speeds of the others to make up for it
What i was thinkig
@muted patio 70 rpm good enough?
LOL
ye
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/HwPHQD is it good for gaming and yes i need 32gb of ram
i think its good
tell me what i should upgrade
yes thatll be very good for gaming
he could probably upgrade to a 5900x
but do i need it
What are u doing on it??
gaming and maybe some editing
Think it’s good but wait for someone who knows a lot more I don’t know much
@blazing aurora
@rocky ocean better show sum after pics
1 because 2 has worse motherboard VRM
I like how the price is just
high refresh rate makes for a great gaming experience
3 times the rest lmao
lol
lol
I spent 3 months on research and I’m still learning
You should really look at the lists :P
And this guy is just copy pasting
that's why it's still all barracuda >:(
No clue
I'll find some more relevant data, but this was like 5 years ago
Oop
Toshiba x300 is POG too
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/kLBdfP what mobo should i get
Oh fun, backblaze hasn't used any lower end wd drives in a while
Will do
ig you can look at toshiba 4tb vs seagate 4tb failure rates
HGST is just godly but yea
tho drive count a bit low
what should i get
I have a question about the be quiet 802
Can i place 3x 120mm noctua's in the front?
It says 2x 140 but it looks like also 3x 120
I’ll look it up then
focking what mobo do i need
Yes 3x120mm
thx vintage
and also 360 aio?
oh thx
So I’m playing a game on my first pc and I have my headset plugged in, when I turn up the volume I hear the little bing sound. But when I go into a game I don’t hear any sound. Some help!
h
Check audio device in-game
how the hell are all of you getting all the 30 series cards and 5000 series cpu's wtffffff
That's windows
Telling you the volume
No, I mean which device it's outputting to
It could be outputting to like the steam streaming speakers, which you aren't using
Ye, make sure game is using the right Audio device
The GAME, not Windows
Can change audio source in the game
Can you hear sounds in Wndows?
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/kLBdfP what motherboard do ineed
the b550 f gaming is good
This is what I see @muted patio
Dude why not just do some research and figure out what you need and want out of a mother board
What was wrong with teh Carbonb you had picked?
Why do you keep changing things all the time?
We advise on builds every day and then they get changed every day lol
Hmmm
In the drop down Window for Audio in Windows, is there a headset option?
since it 12am and i need to order bye tmr
by
Wow
What jack do you hve the headset plugged into?
Try the headset jack on the back
On the front panel connector
SHould be green
Ok
You had a B550 carbon. It was fine. Why remove it?
I think it’s something to do with the game
Because I plugged it in the back and I still don’t hear any sound from the game
The only thing we sugggested to change was the HD from Seagate to WD Blue or Toshiba or Hitachi
ok
Did you install the motherboard Realtek Sound drivers?
Yes but I can hear the sound from windows like when u change the volume I can here the bling sound
Does YouTube work through the headphones?
Let me check
Yea Youtube works
I'm fulla schiit? xD
Then it says unmute
And it turned my volume down
The mute thing is just the button to mute
maybe in volume mixer?
@sharp blade Schiit op company
company? xD
Yes I’m positive because if I didn’t then I wouldn’t be able to hear youtube
Asrock b460 pro4
Ok ig I’ll try again
If you downloaded those it should be fine
IDK what the issue is. Did you restart after installing?
And?
yw
good
It's OK, problem fixed
Would it be good to change the fans of my Kraken x73 to 3x120 noctua's?
Replacing the normal ones
They're static so it would be possible right?
Just set your pump speed to 100% in BIOS and use the fans as CPU fans
ok but wouldn't it be loud if its 100%
Every 20 seconds or so this fan goes out...
Might be, IDK sound levels
never had an aio
It’s a 3 pin fan connector but I think it’s supposed to be 4 pin
is it turning?
Yeah
3 pin is fine on 4 pin header
Rgb connected?
See right now it’s green but it’s gonna have no color in about 20 seconds
The rgb goes out
Or power header?
Not the fan tho
oh
well
here's the deal with RGB
3 pin RGB = 12 volts
4 pin aRGB = 5 volts
mixing those up will lead to bad
Like, a 4 pin RGB on a 3 pin header = burning things up
So is there anything I can do?
Because too much voltage
Not really, need the right RGB items for the header
RGB = 4 pin 12 volt
It came with the package tho
i have argb with 12v
aRGB = 3 pin 5 volt
but maybe bc 200mm fans?
140 mm
So is my pc gonna catch on fire?
might burn the fan up
Oh sh
Or at least the LED's
I’ll get a close up picture of it
no need
If you put a 4 pin RGB on a 3 pin header
Well, in that case it's undervolted
might burn out motherboard header
I had it backwards
Can't put 3 pin on 4 pin
So it's the aRGB case
Sticker is wrong lol
Yeah that's 5 volt aRGB connector
Should I not connect it to the splitter cable?
And connect it to the 4 pin on the mobo?
Can't DL a manual for that case or controller cuz Coolermaster is out of bandwidth LOL
Should be yes
xD
I want to know if that's a mis print or they're doing something funky
idk
RGB
Well, IDk now cuz it looks like it could be either
usually RGB doesn't have tabs like that
IDK, never heard of that before
If you have that EXACT motherboard try it
Oh yea
Wait I just found out that the 3 pin power cable is actually for the other fan that is working properly...
then it might be argb
Now I’m really confused
just incorrectly labelled
You want the RGB cable
Everything in that pic looks like power to me
find a different cable for the fans lol
Can i controll all PWM fans in the bios? (Noctua 12 PWM)
Yes
oh okay
ayyyyy
Before and after
guy
One more thing, I have teams installed on my pc and every time my computer boots up teams automatically pops up. How do I change that?
What is strg
ctrl
Oh
that looks like a typo
Ok i got it
Shneeze
Should be able to yes
Oh also does it matter what way the arrow is pointing when it is plugged into the mobo?
@muted patio
IDK, I don't have RGB
@brave bison you have a part picker list, if so slide it my way please

For some reason my led light isn’t connecting to my mobo
It’s plugged in but I can’t change the color of the fans in my mobo app
@elfin flame
you would need to get a different motherboard
Reason: Bad word usage
@shrewd peak why would a 2060 be on 1100$????
@shrewd peak yeah delro is right, you would need a new motherboard
i fixed it @shrewd peak
and you need different motherboard as everyone else said above
Random question does usps run on Sunday for fist class packages I'm like very impatient.
I don't think they do
Not USPS no
Ok
It says they do https://www.stamps.com/usps/usps-sunday-delivery/
Information about USPS Sunday Delivery. In some cases the USPS delivers on Sundays, see if your mailpiece qualifies.
Ok
are you supposed to put the cover back on top of the m.2 ssd after you install it?
you mean an m.2 cover right
Yeah
will i run into any issues if it's not on?
No
oh okay
What mobo do you have?
@blazing aurora how did you put the 10400f in your name?
AIO requires me to stick my hand in and adjust the 3 pin pump connector almost every boot after it sits for more than like an hour. I tried hot gluing it in place and still no luck. It doesn't push in all the way and kind of rocks back and forth (after cutting away the glue)
On a AsRock A520m-ITX/ac motherboard, CoolerMaster 240mm aio v2
From what I'm looking at I'm thinking the connector sits too close to the ram slot, causing it to slightly push regularly, but I'm not too certain (because the hot glue solution worked first boot and not second after coming home from work)
I don't have a guaranteed direction it needs adjusted, so there's no easy way. It's kind of a boot then see my cpu run at 90 cel and shutdown to try and hope I fixed it first attempt, usually never happens.
Words
If you have an idea please tell me+ping
It's bugging the crap out of me and gets progressively more difficult to correct
top left corner
click change nickname
also, my mobo is the msi b460m
use the CHA-FAN 2/wp connector down in the bottom right?
That's powering other fans
I'll look around for some other headers but I'm p sure I only have two
Should have 3
Upper left, upper right by ram, lower right
Only right side are labeled WP though for water pump
Ohhhh
I'll open up the panels and peep around
Will I need to change my ramp any for my pump? I've never actually had to do that so idk what to start with
Also another question, I'm not seeing where the top left header should be. I'll refer to my manual again but I'm not seeing it
More top center
Seeing it now
Then to the right of that
Yup
I gotta move my other fans there first
Unrelated, finally took the 30 seconds earlier to partition my 128gb drive up into a win10 installation and general storage
Totally worth it
rip laptop 2021
Any tips?
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Z3ty9N
Cheaper, faster, RGB ram https://www.amazon.com/G-Skill-Tident-64GB-64GTZNC-4X16GB/dp/B07VRMTVH7
So uh new issue
I have all my fan slots populated lol
1 goes to my 2 radiator fans, 1 goes to my fans front and back (3 total), and the third goes to my pump
I'm gonna swap two of em and see what that does
Could always get a fan hub
then just need two headers, one for fans and one for pump
Would you guys be bothered if I sent a build guide that an "acquaintence" sent to me?
What are you doing wiht the PC?
That is a very overpriced cooler.
iirc, its not much over msrp
School work and my cousing likes Minecraft
No
1600w is overkill imo
And I wouldn't use NVMe drives for mass storage. Other than that, it looks good.
Ram is overpriced also
Most coolers I see are about $120-$150 in the AIO area, and the one in that build isn't even RGB 😬
what do you do for work?
There is a mind-boggling cost just for mass NVMe storage
^^^
or the ek aio
I would say a Cooler Master ML240, but that's only 2 fans. Still, that water cooler is overpriced
@orchid matrix so what specifically are you gonna do with the system?
^
^
I am curious too
🙂
What shall it be..? Gamz, scghool, or w0rk?
Or something else, perhaps?
multi-use too?
True, my issue then is cable management. I'm in a mITX chasse with a non modular psu already 😔😔
idk it could be anything lol
Minecraft and schoolwork
At this point
oh
That seems like a bit much
Not even putting it all back on till ik I'm done lol
I have an i5-9600k, a GTX 960, and air cooling, and I get like 50 fps on shaders @ max settings on 1440p.
Maybe if your schoolwork is particle simulations, or molecules and proteins, then yeah maybe.
🙂
I need a RTX 3070 minimum for school dad pls
Zoom needs ray traced or else I can't read the whiteboard
lol
I'm planning on telling my dad i need a 3080 for high fps zoom meetings
yes sir
XD
😄
y my GTX 960 no pushing out 60 fps 1440p? The webcams on the Chromebooks are 720p maybe 30 fps, and that's being generous.
lool
lol
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ any one got any suggestions?
Guys i am install a 970 evo but it just isn’t sliding in
@rain perch you have to send the list's individual link
There's a shareable link at the top of the list
I built my first pc
Poop
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/WGdPcT that's what i'd get just for the pc, idk about the peripherals
thats the way uh huh uh huh i like it
i would also recommend cable extensions, but you could choose those urself, and don't get a white psu, you won't even be able to see it
@rocky ocean still waiting for them pics
call me a hater, but i dont like white psus
same
you can't even see them
unless you don't have a psu shroud, it's a waste of money
you're looking at the wrong cases
if you're spending an extra 200$ on custom looping or adding something like trident z royal, white PSU's are great in some builds to keep the theme of it
With the 4000x the temper glass can switch sides so i can order just a glass panel to show off the wiring later on etc. Its all still fluctuating
Might switch it to the black cooler master but they are the same price
I already have white cable for it
and i don't think 650w will make it
Yea would 750 be better? i just dont want to have to much unecessary power
it's not unecessary
i like going 200w over estimated usage in high end builds like that one
Okay thank you
and that video card you choose loves to eat up wattage
so to give it enough headroom, at least 800w is what i recommend, and the rev df isn't that expensive rn so it's what i choose
not buying until september my current pc is fine right now just looking for a big upgrade. Thank you for the suggestions
other case options are these https://pcpartpicker.com/products/compare/FP3mP6,gfn8TW,GmhmP6,PmZzK8/
looks like it's gonna be a great build tbh, wish you luck
Yes i am super excited for it will be my second build and I cant wait. I was looking at 4000 series corsair mesh. Kinda trying to stick with corsair but i saved all those cases thank you
I'm gonna spray paint a psu and make no attempt to prevent paint from getting inside, nothing will go wrong ☝️☝️
what? No mom I'm not making a bomb, I'm customizing my pc
(and yes Ik psus are sold in white it's all jokes)
lmao we love that thought about buying a cheaper version of the 3080 and taking it apart to paint it. I did that with my current 1660 build lmao
works like a charm
I keep thinking about doing that if I ever upgrade my pc
Painting my RTX 2060 ko Ultras grey parts to be red like the case interior
Might be too much red tho and might go with black and red accents
that would be amazing. Can never have enough of a color unless the rgb is that color as well.
well I've got news for you
Going for a white and gold build for this one so definitely some painting involved
Ahahah definitely to much then
Ahh yea definitely black would look good in it
yessir looks good I can't wait for a fully white build gonna be amazing.
I thought of doing that with a 780 ti I found on eBay but I ended up just cancelling that so I can get a slightly better gpu to go with the i5 4th gen I've got coming in
It was pretty though
I think it was a PNY model
yea i am just shooting for the 30 series and there are not that many white cards right now
Ahh okay
Oh definitely
All the white cards are beautiful this generation
I'm a fan of gigabytes
It's sad everyone's snatching them
Yes they are much better than the 20 series. Gigabytes is nice i was looking at it for some time.
I think MSI announced one as well
What sucks tho is that for some reason, everyone bought all the gpus
Idk what happened, like a whole pc craze rn
Even the older gen stuff that existed on ebay
Yes MSI announced one but they are upping there prices.
yea i was gonna do this build last year then everything sold out and now i wait
Yep msi was first to announce
I'm glad I didn't wait for 3000s release to get a 2060 ko ult
I almost did, then I would've been stuck with a bottlenecked cpu and a rx 480
yea i was waiting one more paycheck after the 30 series and they were all gone.
Also unrelated, intel finally is ditching the weird boxes for 10900k cpus
It's gonna be normal and they're gonna be able to ship more
Like 3x more per shipment
Yes i saw that on my feed. It makes more sense to have a normal box lmao
Fr
hopefully shipments start flowing more soon i am looking forward to this build
How do I make it so when I install games from steam they install onto my hdd and not on my m.2?
Does anyone know what a line connection is?
I messaged the guy who I bought my psu from and he said to check my line connection?
Because I'm having problems
I think he means
Check your connections
Can't be 100% sure about that, but it's the most reasonable explanation
I literally rebuilt my pc
I also forgot to plug on gpu power once
Lol
i forgot to turn on power strip one time
But yeah, just make sure all your psu connection are secure
lol
Lol
My pc turns on and off and sometimes in a infinity loop of power cycleing
Yeah
Nothibg
Nothing
When it happened I just was bored so I rebuilt it
Like a week old
It's a segotep 650 watt
Fully moduler
I've never heard of that brand
Yeah I got it for quit cheap
Hmmmm
Dont
Cheap out
On your psu
Ever
I thought we all said that enough times lmao
It's likely the psu honestly
Giving bad power
I used to have a 20 dollar psu
Causing system instability
Sounds about right for a cheapo psu
I'd just splurge on a nice one
One of those will last you a long time
It was 70 dollars
And will last you through multiple builds
I got a speaker that beeps a certain amount of times to tell me the problem
Which model tho
Hold on
80 PLUS GOLD Certified: It ensures your power supply doesn't waste power and turn it into excess heat.Under typical loads. The power is over 90% efficient or higher.
Top Quality Protection: It comes with the most comprehensive protection set possible, including OVP, UVP, OPP, SCP, OCP and OTP.
Stable Power: The GP series has outstan...
And 80plus gold
Ikr lol
Well I tried it with my other psu and it did the same thing hmmmmm
And it was working
Any error codes thru beeps?
Not yet haven't got it yet
Can you get into the bios?
Maybe tomorrow or the next day
ryzen master accurate temps?
No
Hwinfo64
?
So no bios either huh
k but is 5600x minecraft with heavy shaders 50c? is that good
Depends on what shaders
I have only got it once to go into the bios losing screen
heavy ones
Also mc shaders isn't cpu intensive as much as it's gpu intensive
But that sounds pretty good
just wondering if 50c was right
I have only got it once to go into the bios losing screen
It's perfectly alright temp
Losing*
I wouldn't worry
Loading
3 fans in front for intake and then an aio with 2 fans as exhasut
Geez so it's just unstable pc
and i still anothervone gor my bak
I have 3 fans on front 2 fans on top for my radiator and one in the back totally over kill for the hardware I have but......
@wanton cliff @wind osprey posted the build i was talking about yesterday in #build-pics
hmmmm?
the pink one
oh
looks heccin nice
pink is cute
I will stop taking a recess from this server when I have a 3080/70
the only rgb fans i have cover the entire visible spectrum lmao
'rgwannab', as linus once said
the entire visible spectrum is only about 10,000,000 colors lol
it's probably got all those colors in it
in short, i can't color them or turn them off
cool
have you ever tried purple with dark green accents?
i have not
configure it
now
RAM is green, fans and mobo are purple
or maybe try switching colors of ram and mobo if that doesnt work well
I would do it but I currently have no GPU
its either system getting too hot or you need to reseat ram
and by system I usually mean CPU
anyways I would help more but I have to hunt for a 3070/80
ping me if yall need anything
@wanton cliff is a constant 80 degrees celcius cpu temp under load a factor for this problem?
wait
but it only happens when i boot up the computer
cpu shouldnt be under load during that time
@wanton cliff
my friend tried everything
reset cmos
reset biosd
reset windows
diagnose ram for issues
CPU is definitely under load during boot. It's how WIndows gets loaded
etc.
oh
but when im playing a game under load
my temps are like above 80 or around that
and it doesnt crash
or bsod
it only bsods when i boot
Updated windows? updated drivers?
yes
i used driver booster
etc.
im suggesting it may be a driver issue
but idk
im clueless rn
check paste
changed thermal paste too
Driver booster?
63 c while playing rust should be bad right,
not water cooled just air cooled 3070
unclock it
driverbooster is a good program
i did that
by resetting bios
issue still happens
Good program? Not if installs an out of date or corrupt driver
even that
i reset pc after that
so it just undoes everything the driverbooster does
Reset as in 100% clean install?
yea
from usb drive
i just wipe my disk
and put a flash drive in
doing this for a friend btw im just talking in first person since its easier
i want a decent pc parts picker list for 1008.56 USD
Did you reinstall while saving personal data and programs?
gaming?
Can’t give you a list if I don’t know what you need it for
For deez nuts
how do you get the most out of your pc?
Ive clocked ram
Im thinking of GPU, and overclock cpu if I can
do it
yeah whats the problem?
so lets say i used to be really into computers, like crazy hard with knowing alot of stuff about them for like two years. stopped keeping up with part drops and everything new, i still know somewhat of a idea about them but that was like 6months ago.
i want to build my first pc soon could someone help me make a list for the parts i would need?
i dont really have a price point but would prefer to keep it around or under 1500$
and do you want it to be really aesthetically pleasing or just work great. like what type of stuff you doing? gaming.
and if it is aesthetic what colours?
mostly just for gaming and school maybe some light editing here and there and maybe down the line recording some stuff also i dont really care about aesthetics so just whatever
but would prefer to stick to one color theme please
so like just black?
yh thatd be fine
im assuming you wouldnt care like if your ram had like rgb, not that u have to touch it just there
because alot of sets are
doesnt matter to me
semi alot
so like 3tb enough or?
lil bit les
ok
like 1tb should be good
so like a 1tb ssd
best Buy only one selling them
online or only in store
online only
k
huh? why is my rtx 3070 1000$ on pcpartpicker but its 650$ ish on neweeggg
hoq often do they restock
IDk any more, they changed their schedule
simple
im regretting descisions
i mean i love my case
but i want a different one haha
ill change it later in life
wait
does an o11 dynamic mini only support sfx psus?
yes
Is this good for my build?
Ya im not sure what the problem is
Power, heat, background processes, slow ram
No
Power throttling, Heat throttling, Ram speed isn't up to par for Ryzen, driver issue, etc
Alright thx
I'm gonna go with thermal issues
Compare your graph to mine
Mine is straight lines all the way through
Yours varies for GPU core, VRAM and CPU clocks
That indicates either a thermal or power limit
Ive never had power issues. Do you think I need an aio? I use the wraith prism currently.
Wraith Prism works but it's not the best. AIO is up to you or a good air cooler like a Nocta DH12 or 15
Is this a new PSU or older one?
Its a corsair bronze 750 watt I bought last year
MOdel?
Bronze essentially means nothing for quality
Check GPU-Z also
Specifically, the 12V readings while under load
See if it's sagging
one sec
CPu is definitely thermal with the stock Wraith Prism
and rating
This is my psu
Tier D, kinda oof
true
Forget it exists
whats a recommended wattage @muted patio ?
750-850 but it's not just wattage
There's a quick and dirty PSU list here: https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/1116640-psu-tier-list-40/
PSU Tier List 4.0 rev. 14.6 Last Update: 29-11-2020 Gray - EoL / obsolete. Generally not recommended for purchase since its going to be pre-owned, refurbished or old stock. Green - small form-factor (gold and blue colors are disregarded due to scarcity of SFX PSUs) Gold - best units in the tier (...
Especially with the transients the 3080/3090 have a quality PSU is important
I got a gold psu, just means I can appease the 80+ gold dummies if I wanted
No, it doesn't necessarily have to be Tier A
However, for a system with a 3900/3090 I'd highly recommend an A
no less than Tier B
oh
Corsair RM, Superflower Leadex
damn
yes
true
@muted patio is there any specific you would recommend?
70 watt gpu 65 watt cpu
oh
Pretty low
this psu cant handle right?
I have an 84 watt cpu, 35 watt gpu
oo
Antec Earthwatts Gold too
5600x is 65 watt still isn't it
Enermax Platimax DF
keep in mind
AMD's TDP ratings are purely base clock
My 65W 3700x will pull 118W lol
Good to know
Indeed
OCP protection
oo
It's either on one rail for all things, or multiple rails for multiple things
i see
But your issue is primarly thermal, IE heat, possibly power too
Check GPU-Z for voltage droop
Reason: Bad word usage
tier a power supplies expensive as hell
Nah man
$100
Phanteks Amp 750
All too often people spend mad money on CPU and GPU but not on what powers it. 😦
$1000 for CPU and GPU but not $100 for the power lol
OH yeah, all the time in build sheets
single rail power supply good enough?
Phanteks Amp 750
16 dollars more just for the next generation
$109
not on amazon
Very high quality
:/
yes
oo
yk where there are 12 pins on higher end b550 motherboards?
is that extra 4 pin necessary?
if ur not overclocking cpu
or such
Only needed if LN2 a 5900 lol
what does ln2 mean?
liquid nitrogen
Tier A fully modular for 110
crazy
underrated
but the thing is
theres not enough pcie ports
:/
if there was only 1 more
5?
You don't need 5 PCI-E cables
2
I have one
ya all got any beans
Same
