I like how the price is just

blazing aurora
stoic island
#

3 times the rest lmao

blazing aurora

little osprey
#

I spent 3 months on research and I’m still learning

stoic island
#

You should really look at the lists :P

little osprey
#

And this guy is just copy pasting

stoic island
#

that's why it's still all barracuda >:(

blazing pilot

like wtf the mobo is higher the cpu

little osprey

No clue

stoic island
little osprey

Toshiba x300 is POG too

blazing pilot
stoic island

Good to kno

blazing pilot

tho drive count a bit low

blazing pilot
#

what should i get

sharp blade
#

I have a question about the be quiet 802
Can i place 3x 120mm noctua's in the front?

little osprey
#

Easier to look it up no?

#

Just the size and space

sharp blade
#

It says 2x 140 but it looks like also 3x 120

little osprey
#

I’ll look it up then

blazing pilot
#

focking what mobo do i need

muted patio
#

Yes 3x120mm

sharp blade
#

thx vintage

sharp blade
#

and also 360 aio?

muted patio
#

Download manual

#

Lists all the different configs

sharp blade
#

oh thx

rugged heron
#

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!

blazing pilot
#

h

stoic island
#

Check audio device in-game

rugged heron
#

I did

#

It’s on max

little osprey
#

how the hell are all of you getting all the 30 series cards and 5000 series cpu's wtffffff

muted patio
#

Telling you the volume

stoic island
#

No, I mean which device it's outputting to

#

It could be outputting to like the steam streaming speakers, which you aren't using

muted patio
#

Ye, make sure game is using the right Audio device

rugged heron
muted patio
#

The GAME, not Windows

#

Can change audio source in the game

#

Can you hear sounds in Wndows?

blazing pilot
sharp blade
#

the b550 f gaming is good

rugged heron
little osprey
muted patio
#

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?

blazing pilot
#

by

rugged heron
little osprey
#

Wow

muted patio
#

What jack do you hve the headset plugged into?

rugged heron
#

Idk why it says 4:00 am

#

Speaker

muted patio
#

Try the headset jack on the back

rugged heron
#

On the front panel connector

muted patio
#

SHould be green

rugged heron
#

Ok

muted patio
rugged heron
#

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

muted patio
#

The only thing we sugggested to change was the HD from Seagate to WD Blue or Toshiba or Hitachi

blazing pilot
#

ok

muted patio
rugged heron
#

Yes but I can hear the sound from windows like when u change the volume I can here the bling sound

muted patio
#

Does YouTube work through the headphones?

rugged heron
#

Let me check

stoic island
#

damn that took a while to upload

rugged heron
#

Yea Youtube works

sharp blade
#

I'm fulla schiit? xD

muted patio
#

Uh I just noticed

#

MUTE was on in the game lol

#

Try clicking that

rugged heron
#

Then it says unmute

#

And it turned my volume down

#

The mute thing is just the button to mute

sharp blade
#

maybe in volume mixer?

stoic island
#

@sharp blade Schiit op company

sharp blade
#

company? xD

sharp blade
#

Thought #"Shit"

#

xD

rugged heron
#

No that didn’t work

#

The game is called beam ng if that helps you

muted patio
#

I know what game it is lol

#

You SURE you installed the Realtek drivers?

rugged heron
#

Yes I’m positive because if I didn’t then I wouldn’t be able to hear youtube

muted patio
#

Not if you're using the Windows provided driver?

#

what board

rugged heron
#

Asrock b460 pro4

rugged heron
#

Ok ig I’ll try again

muted patio
#

If you downloaded those it should be fine

#

IDK what the issue is. Did you restart after installing?

rugged heron
#

It’s restarting rn

#

I just installed the driver again

#

....

sharp blade
#

And?

rugged heron
#

It was a success

#

Thank you everyone

muted patio
#

yw

sharp blade
#

good

rugged heron
#

I thought I downloaded that driver tho

#

I must’ve installed it wrong the first time

muted patio
#

It's OK, problem fixed

sharp blade
#

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?

muted patio
#

yes, you can do that

#

usually the fans that come with AIO's are fine though

sharp blade
#

ok i could change it later anyways

#

I'll see how they are

muted patio
#

Just set your pump speed to 100% in BIOS and use the fans as CPU fans

sharp blade
#

ok but wouldn't it be loud if its 100%

rugged heron
muted patio
#

Might be, IDK sound levels

sharp blade
#

never had an aio

rugged heron
#

It’s a 3 pin fan connector but I think it’s supposed to be 4 pin

sharp blade
#

is it turning?

rugged heron
#

Yeah

muted patio
#

3 pin is fine on 4 pin header

sharp blade
#

Rgb connected?

muted patio
#

Fan stop spinning or just RGb goes out?

#

Wait

#

You mixed RGB 3 and 4 pin header?

rugged heron
#

See right now it’s green but it’s gonna have no color in about 20 seconds

#

The rgb goes out

muted patio
#

Or power header?

rugged heron
#

Not the fan tho

muted patio
#

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

rugged heron
#

So is there anything I can do?

muted patio
#

Because too much voltage

#

Not really, need the right RGB items for the header

#

RGB = 4 pin 12 volt

rugged heron
#

It came with the package tho

sharp blade
#

i have argb with 12v

muted patio
#

aRGB = 3 pin 5 volt

sharp blade
#

but maybe bc 200mm fans?

rugged heron
#

140 mm

sharp blade
#

My fans are 12v argb

#

no i mean mine

muted patio
#

that's not a thing

#

12 volt is RGB

rugged heron
#

So is my pc gonna catch on fire?

muted patio
#

might burn the fan up

rugged heron
#

Oh sh

muted patio
#

Or at least the LED's

rugged heron
#

I’ll get a close up picture of it

muted patio
#

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

sharp blade
#

i have a 3 pin in 4 pin

#

i have the coolermaster h500

#

with the 2x 200mm fans

muted patio
#

Shouldn't mix them

#

Going to a hub or something?

sharp blade
#

yeah

#

that explains it

muted patio
#

So what is 3 pin

#

Motherboard?

sharp blade
#

fans

#

4pins motherboard

muted patio
#

So it's the aRGB case

sharp blade
#

yeah

#

It says on the sticker 12v aRGB

muted patio
#

Sticker is wrong lol

rugged heron
#

See

#

3 pin on a 4 pin

muted patio
#

Yeah that's 5 volt aRGB connector

rugged heron
#

Should I not connect it to the splitter cable?

#

And connect it to the 4 pin on the mobo?

muted patio
#

I mean, that's why you have issues

#

powering a 12 volt device with 5 volts

rugged heron
#

Ok so I connect it to the 4 pin rgb connector

#

On the mobo

muted patio
muted patio
sharp blade
#

xD

muted patio
#

I want to know if that's a mis print or they're doing something funky

sharp blade
#

idk

rugged heron
#

Wait that’s the fan header right?

#

Or the rgb?

muted patio
#

RGB

#

Well, IDk now cuz it looks like it could be either

#

usually RGB doesn't have tabs like that

zenith glacier
#

Hey

#

I msged you a pic vintage

#

That could be e cause of my pc randomly reboots?

sharp blade
#

thats on their website

muted patio
#

IDK, never heard of that

#

Ah, that's POWER, not rgb lol

muted patio
#

If you have that EXACT motherboard try it

zenith glacier
#

Oh yea

rugged heron
#

Wait I just found out that the 3 pin power cable is actually for the other fan that is working properly...

still bay
#

then it might be argb

rugged heron
#

Now I’m really confused

still bay
#

just incorrectly labelled

muted patio
#

You want the RGB cable

#

Everything in that pic looks like power to me

#

find a different cable for the fans lol

rugged heron
#

I figured out the problem

muted patio
#

OH!

#

Nice

#

Easy fix

sharp blade
#

Can i controll all PWM fans in the bios? (Noctua 12 PWM)

muted patio
#

Yes

sharp blade
#

There are PWM and dc right? dc are non control?

#

Thats how i understand it

muted patio
#

Not quite

#

PWM is for 4 pin fans

#

DC mode is for 3 pin fans

sharp blade
#

oh okay

rugged heron
muted patio
#

ayyyyy

rugged heron
#

Before and after

little osprey
#

guy

rugged heron
#

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?

sharp blade
#

Open taskmanager

#

STRG+ALT+DELETE

#

Then Auto start and deactivate it

rugged heron
#

What is strg

ripe wedge
#

ctrl

rugged heron
#

Oh

ripe wedge
#

that looks like a typo

rugged heron
#

Ok i got it

sharp blade
#

oh yeah

#

xD

#

ctrl xD

little osprey
#

Shneeze

rugged heron
#

If my fan is on addressable led can I change the color of the fans?

#

@muted patio

muted patio
#

Should be able to yes

rugged heron
#

Oh also does it matter what way the arrow is pointing when it is plugged into the mobo?

#

@muted patio

muted patio
#

IDK, I don't have RGB

strong knoll
#

@brave bison you have a part picker list, if so slide it my way please

little osprey
rocky ocean
#

After like 8 hours it is complete

rugged heron
#

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

#

guys i need help

#

you would need to get a different motherboard

@shrewd peak why would a 2060 be on 1100$????

clever eagle
strong knoll
#

@shrewd peak yeah delro is right, you would need a new motherboard

clever eagle
#

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.

muted patio
#

Not USPS no

cerulean trellis
#

Ok

muted patio
#

huh

#

Provided you live in a large metro

cerulean trellis
#

Ok

blazing aurora
#

are you supposed to put the cover back on top of the m.2 ssd after you install it?

cerulean trellis
#

Yeah

#

That's if you have a cover o. Your mobo

#

On*

blazing aurora
#

you mean an m.2 cover right

cerulean trellis
#

Yeah

blazing aurora
#

oh okay

#

thanks

blazing aurora
cerulean trellis
#

No

blazing aurora
#

oh okay

cerulean trellis
#

What mobo do you have?

#

@blazing aurora how did you put the 10400f in your name?

hushed pollen
#

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

hushed pollen
#

If you have an idea please tell me+ping

#

It's bugging the crap out of me and gets progressively more difficult to correct

blazing aurora
#

click change nickname

#

also, my mobo is the msi b460m

muted patio
hushed pollen
#

That's powering other fans

#

I'll look around for some other headers but I'm p sure I only have two

muted patio
#

Should have 3

#

Upper left, upper right by ram, lower right

#

Only right side are labeled WP though for water pump

hushed pollen
#

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

muted patio
#

Pump should always be 100%

#

Fans should be variable

hushed pollen
#

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

muted patio
#

More top center

hushed pollen
#

Seeing it now

muted patio
#

Then to the right of that

hushed pollen
#

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

hollow grail
#

Lol I think I killed my win install on my laptop

#

Rip

#

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

muted patio
#

Could always get a fan hub

#

then just need two headers, one for fans and one for pump

tame grotto
#

Would you guys be bothered if I sent a build guide that an "acquaintence" sent to me?

pliant lake
tame grotto
pliant lake
#

iirc, its not much over msrp

orchid matrix

balmy patio
#

1600w is overkill imo

tame grotto
#

And I wouldn't use NVMe drives for mass storage. Other than that, it looks good.

muted patio
#

Ram is overpriced also

tame grotto
#

Most coolers I see are about $120-$150 in the AIO area, and the one in that build isn't even RGB 😬

pliant lake
#

what do you do for work?

tame grotto
#

There is a mind-boggling cost just for mass NVMe storage

muted patio
#

Holy, yeah that cooler is overpriced. Can do more with less

tame grotto
#

^^^

balmy patio
#

or the ek aio

muted patio
tame grotto
#

I would say a Cooler Master ML240, but that's only 2 fans. Still, that water cooler is overpriced

balmy patio
#

@orchid matrix so what specifically are you gonna do with the system?

tame grotto
#

^

pliant lake
#

^

tame grotto
#

I am curious too

#

🙂

#

What shall it be..? Gamz, scghool, or w0rk?

#

Or something else, perhaps?

#

multi-use too?

hushed pollen
tame grotto
#

idk it could be anything lol

orchid matrix
tame grotto
#

oh

#

That seems like a bit much

hushed pollen
balmy patio
#

it is a bit much

#

depending on what school work means

tame grotto
#

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.

#

🙂

hushed pollen
#

I need a RTX 3070 minimum for school dad pls

#

Zoom needs ray traced or else I can't read the whiteboard

tame grotto
#

I need a 3090 to run my seven-segment simulated virtual clock visualizer

hollow lily
#

I'm planning on telling my dad i need a 3080 for high fps zoom meetings

tame grotto
#

yes sir

hollow lily
#

XD

tame grotto
#

The bottleneck is the chromebooks the others use

#

😠

hollow lily
#

😄

tame grotto
#

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

#

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

rain perch
#

Thank you i thought i did that but i didnt

#

I built my first pc

#

Poop

balmy patio
hushed pollen
balmy patio
#

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

strong knoll
#

@rocky ocean still waiting for them pics

hushed pollen
#

call me a hater, but i dont like white psus

balmy patio
#

same

#

you can't even see them

#

unless you don't have a psu shroud, it's a waste of money

next kestrel
#

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

rain perch
#

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

balmy patio
#

get custom cables or sum

#

it's understandable if it bothers you seeing the black psu

rain perch
#

Might switch it to the black cooler master but they are the same price

#

I already have white cable for it

balmy patio
#

and i don't think 650w will make it

rain perch
#

Yea would 750 be better? i just dont want to have to much unecessary power

balmy patio
#

it's not unecessary

#

i like going 200w over estimated usage in high end builds like that one

rain perch
#

Okay thank you

balmy patio
#

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

rain perch
#

not buying until september my current pc is fine right now just looking for a big upgrade. Thank you for the suggestions

balmy patio
#

looks like it's gonna be a great build tbh, wish you luck

rain perch
#

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

hushed pollen
#

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)

rain perch
#

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

hushed pollen
#

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

rain perch
#

that would be amazing. Can never have enough of a color unless the rgb is that color as well.

hushed pollen
#

well I've got news for you

rain perch
#

Going for a white and gold build for this one so definitely some painting involved

hushed pollen
#

the rgb is red

#

lol

rain perch
#

Ahahah definitely to much then

hushed pollen
#

This is her

rain perch
#

Ahh yea definitely black would look good in it

hushed pollen
#

Carti would be proud

#

Whole lotta red

rain perch
#

yessir looks good I can't wait for a fully white build gonna be amazing.

hushed pollen
#

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

rain perch
#

yea i am just shooting for the 30 series and there are not that many white cards right now

#

Ahh okay

hushed pollen
#

Oh definitely

#

All the white cards are beautiful this generation

#

I'm a fan of gigabytes

#

It's sad everyone's snatching them

rain perch
#

Yes they are much better than the 20 series. Gigabytes is nice i was looking at it for some time.

hushed pollen
#

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

rain perch
#

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

hushed pollen
#

Everyone is upping prices eventually

#

Tariffs

Yep msi was first to announce

hushed pollen
#

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

rain perch
#

yea i was waiting one more paycheck after the 30 series and they were all gone.

hushed pollen
#

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

rain perch
#

Yes i saw that on my feed. It makes more sense to have a normal box lmao

hushed pollen
#

Fr

rain perch
#

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?

cerulean trellis
#

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

jagged ember
#

I think he means

#

Check your connections

#

Can't be 100% sure about that, but it's the most reasonable explanation

cerulean trellis
#

I literally rebuilt my pc

jagged ember
#

Ha same

#

Then I also didn't turn on my psu

cerulean trellis
#

Took everything out and but it back in

#

Still did the same thing

jagged ember
#

I also forgot to plug on gpu power once

cerulean trellis
#

Lol

desert gulch
#

i forgot to turn on power strip one time

jagged ember
#

But yeah, just make sure all your psu connection are secure

desert gulch
#

lol

jagged ember
#

Lmao

cerulean trellis
#

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

jagged ember
#

I've never heard of that brand

cerulean trellis
#

Yeah I got it for quit cheap

jagged ember
#

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

cerulean trellis
#

I used to have a 20 dollar psu

jagged ember
#

Causing system instability

cerulean trellis
#

No

#

It worked for like a week

jagged ember
#

Sounds about right for a cheapo psu

#

I'd just splurge on a nice one

#

One of those will last you a long time

cerulean trellis
#

It was 70 dollars

jagged ember
#

And will last you through multiple builds

cerulean trellis
#

And it was on linus A their list

#

650

#

Lol

jagged ember
#

It's a teir b

#

Tier

cerulean trellis
#

I got a speaker that beeps a certain amount of times to tell me the problem

jagged ember
#

Which model tho

cerulean trellis
#

Hold on

#
#

And 80plus gold

#

Ikr lol

#

Well I tried it with my other psu and it did the same thing hmmmmm

jagged ember
#

Hm

#

Not sure, then

cerulean trellis
#

And it was working

jagged ember
#

Any error codes thru beeps?

cerulean trellis
#

Not yet haven't got it yet

jagged ember
#

Can you get into the bios?

cerulean trellis
#

Maybe tomorrow or the next day

uneven mist
#

ryzen master accurate temps?

cerulean trellis
#

No

jagged ember
#

Hwinfo64

cerulean trellis
#

?

jagged ember
#

So no bios either huh

uneven mist
#

k but is 5600x minecraft with heavy shaders 50c? is that good

jagged ember
#

Depends on what shaders

cerulean trellis
#

I have only got it once to go into the bios losing screen

uneven mist
#

heavy ones

jagged ember
#

Also mc shaders isn't cpu intensive as much as it's gpu intensive

#

But that sounds pretty good

uneven mist
#

just wondering if 50c was right

cerulean trellis
#

I have only got it once to go into the bios losing screen

jagged ember
#

It's perfectly alright temp

cerulean trellis
#

Losing*

jagged ember
#

I wouldn't worry

cerulean trellis
#

Loading

uneven mist
#

3 fans in front for intake and then an aio with 2 fans as exhasut

jagged ember
#

Geez so it's just unstable pc

uneven mist
#

and i still anothervone gor my bak

cerulean trellis
#

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......

jagged ember
#

200mm in front, 120mm in back, 120mm side

#

I got one of those modular cases

cerulean trellis
#

Yeah

#

I really hope my pc isn't fried

earnest olive
#

@wanton cliff @wind osprey posted the build i was talking about yesterday in #build-pics

wanton cliff
#

hmmmm?

earnest olive
#

the pink one

wanton cliff
#

oh

jagged ember
#

looks heccin nice

wanton cliff
#

hawt

#

need to get back to snail monitor

earnest olive
#

pink is cute

wanton cliff
#

I will stop taking a recess from this server when I have a 3080/70

wanton cliff
#

ever tried purple with dark green accents?

jagged ember
#

the only rgb fans i have cover the entire visible spectrum lmao

#

'rgwannab', as linus once said

wanton cliff
#

the entire visible spectrum is only about 10,000,000 colors lol

jagged ember
#

it's probably got all those colors in it

wanton cliff
#

most monitors can do 16,000,000

#

hell, my mouse can do 16.9 million colors

jagged ember
#

in short, i can't color them or turn them off

wanton cliff
#

cool

wanton cliff
earnest olive
#

i have not

wanton cliff
#

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

little osprey
#

anyone know how to fix

#

memory management bsod

wanton cliff
#

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

little osprey
#

@wanton cliff is a constant 80 degrees celcius cpu temp under load a factor for this problem?

wanton cliff
#

possibly

#

memory controller maybe got too hot

little osprey
#

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

muted patio
#

CPU is definitely under load during boot. It's how WIndows gets loaded

little osprey
#

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

muted patio
#

Updated windows? updated drivers?

little osprey
#

yes

#

i used driver booster

#

etc.

#

im suggesting it may be a driver issue

#

but idk

#

im clueless rn

wanton cliff
#

check paste

little osprey
#

changed thermal paste too

muted patio
#

Driver booster?

deft zephyr
#

63 c while playing rust should be bad right,
not water cooled just air cooled 3070

little osprey
#

i overclocked my cpu

#

yes

wanton cliff
#

unclock it

little osprey
#

driverbooster is a good program

#

i did that

#

by resetting bios

#

issue still happens

muted patio
#

Good program? Not if installs an out of date or corrupt driver

little osprey
#

even that

#

i reset pc after that

#

so it just undoes everything the driverbooster does

muted patio
#

Reset as in 100% clean install?

little osprey
#

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

cursive wolf
#

i want a decent pc parts picker list for 1008.56 USD

muted patio
little osprey
#

no

#

i wipe my disk

#

and put install windows from a flash drive

wanton cliff
hollow grail
#

For deez nuts

little osprey
#

how do you get the most out of your pc?

#

Ive clocked ram

#

Im thinking of GPU, and overclock cpu if I can

weak field
#

hello guys

#

could someone help me?

uneven mist
weak field
#

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?

uneven mist
#

price point?

#

and right now your gonna struggle with gpu stock just so you know

weak field
#

i dont really have a price point but would prefer to keep it around or under 1500$

uneven mist
#

ok

#

ill see if i can make you a decent list

uneven mist
#

and if it is aesthetic what colours?

weak field
#

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

uneven mist
#

so like just black?

weak field
#

yh thatd be fine

uneven mist
#

because alot of sets are

weak field
#

doesnt matter to me

uneven mist
#

cool

#

and do u need alot of storage?

#

@weak field

weak field
#

semi alot

uneven mist
#

so like 3tb enough or?

weak field
#

lil bit les

uneven mist
#

ok

weak field
#

like 1tb should be good

uneven mist
#

so like a 1tb ssd

blazing pilot
#

okay guys how do i get 3080 founders editon

#

am dead right

muted patio
#

best Buy only one selling them

blazing pilot
muted patio
#

online only

blazing pilot
#

k

uneven mist
#

huh? why is my rtx 3070 1000$ on pcpartpicker but its 650$ ish on neweeggg

blazing pilot
#

hoq often do they restock

muted patio
#

IDk any more, they changed their schedule

blazing pilot
#

simple

uneven mist
#

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?

severe axle
#

yes

little osprey
#

Intel 10th gen cpus are on sale at BB right now Intel

#

good time to grab one

vagrant cliff
muted patio
#

I'm going to go with no because I got almost that same score with a 3700/3070

vagrant cliff
#

Ya im not sure what the problem is

muted patio
#

Power, heat, background processes, slow ram

vagrant cliff
#

do you think it could be my monitor as well?

#

1080p

muted patio
#

No

#

Power throttling, Heat throttling, Ram speed isn't up to par for Ryzen, driver issue, etc

vagrant cliff
#

Alright thx

muted patio
#

What ram do you have in there?

#

CPu score is lower than mine

#

By 1400 points almost

vagrant cliff
#

16Gb of ddr4 3600mhz

#

750 watt power supply

#

as well

muted patio
#

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

vagrant cliff
#

Ive never had power issues. Do you think I need an aio? I use the wraith prism currently.

muted patio
#

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?

vagrant cliff
#

Its a corsair bronze 750 watt I bought last year

muted patio
#

MOdel?

#

Bronze essentially means nothing for quality

#

Check GPU-Z also

#

Specifically, the 12V readings while under load

#

See if it's sagging

vagrant cliff
#

one sec

muted patio
#

CPu is definitely thermal with the stock Wraith Prism

little osprey
#

lol what are your opinions on white rated power supplies

#

lowest of the lowest

muted patio
#

modelbrand and rating

little osprey
#

hm

#

i have thyis

#

this

#

continous power

#

which is good

#

430 watts*

vagrant cliff
little osprey
#

oo

#

if it was 750 watts

muted patio
little osprey
#

i would try to get a gold

#

or lower than that

#

oh

muted patio
#

GOLD MEANS NOTHING

little osprey
#

it doesnt?

#

oh

muted patio
#

Do NOT buy a PSU based on gold, bronze, etc

#

No

little osprey
#

well obviosuly

#

other factors too lol

muted patio
#

It only means efficiency from wall to PC

#

Has 0 meaning for quality

little osprey
#

true

muted patio
#

Forget it exists

vagrant cliff
#

whats a recommended wattage @muted patio ?

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/

muted patio
#

Especially with the transients the 3080/3090 have a quality PSU is important

lyric thistle
#

I got a gold psu, just means I can appease the 80+ gold dummies if I wanted

muted patio
#

No, it doesn't necessarily have to be Tier A

#

However, for a system with a 3900/3090 I'd highly recommend an A

little osprey
#

what about 3070ish

#

tier b

#

?

muted patio
#

no less than Tier B

little osprey
#

oh

muted patio
#

Hoenstly, phanteks amp for $100 is choice

#

Or Seasonic Focus GOld

little osprey
#

lol is my power supply that bad

#

tier D

muted patio
#

Corsair RM, Superflower Leadex

little osprey
#

damn

muted patio
#

yes

little osprey
#

😦

#

i havent seen any problems

#

yet

#

im satisfied

muted patio
#

Well, you don't have high end components, yet

#

that are drawing a ton of pwoer

little osprey
#

true

vagrant cliff
#

@muted patio is there any specific you would recommend?

little osprey
#

i mean

#

gtx 1650 super

#

ryzen 3 3100

#

ehh

#

idk

lyric thistle
#

70 watt gpu 65 watt cpu

little osprey
#

oh

lyric thistle
#

Pretty low

little osprey
#

hmm

#

if i were to upgrade to a

#

ryzen 5 5600x

muted patio
#

Seasonic Focus, Phanteks Amp, Corsair RM, Superflower Leadex III

#

Top choices

little osprey
#

this psu cant handle right?

lyric thistle
#

I have an 84 watt cpu, 35 watt gpu

little osprey
#

oo

muted patio
#

Antec Earthwatts Gold too

lyric thistle
#

5600x is 65 watt still isn't it

muted patio
#

Enermax Platimax DF

#

keep in mind

#

AMD's TDP ratings are purely base clock

#

My 65W 3700x will pull 118W lol

little osprey
#

oh

#

didnt know that lol

lyric thistle
#

Good to know

muted patio
#

Indeed

little osprey
#

what does

#

multi/single rail

#

what does that mean?

muted patio
#

OCP protection

little osprey
#

oo

muted patio
#

It's either on one rail for all things, or multiple rails for multiple things

little osprey
#

i see

muted patio
#

Check GPU-Z for voltage droop

still roostBOT
#
frustybosh#7313 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

little osprey
#

tier a power supplies expensive as hell

muted patio
#

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

little osprey
#

ah

#

hm

#

big mistake

#

common mistake

muted patio
#

Can be a mistake ye

#

I see $600 GPU with $50 PSU lol

little osprey
#

lol

#

what

#

nah

#

oi nah

#

also

muted patio
#

OH yeah, all the time in build sheets

little osprey
#

single rail power supply good enough?

muted patio
#

Yes

#

Very much so

muted patio
#

Phanteks Amp 750

little osprey
#

16 dollars more just for the next generation

muted patio
#

$109

little osprey
#

why not

#

hmm

#

phanteks

muted patio
#

Yes

#

it's a Seasonic Gold but cheaper

little osprey
#

not on amazon

muted patio
#

Very high quality

little osprey
#

:/

muted patio
#

yes it is

#

I bought mine there

little osprey
#

nvm

#

i thought it says reneweed

little osprey
#

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

muted patio
#

Only needed if LN2 a 5900 lol

little osprey
#

what does ln2 mean?

muted patio
#

liquid nitrogen

little osprey
#

oh

#

hm

#

wow

#

fully modular for 110

muted patio
#

Tier A fully modular for 110

little osprey
#

crazy

#

underrated

#

but the thing is

#

theres not enough pcie ports

#

:/

#

if there was only 1 more

muted patio
#

wat

#

there's 5

#

5

little osprey
#

5?

muted patio
#

You don't need 5 PCI-E cables

little osprey
#

?/

#

theres only 4

#

i count

#

the thing is

#

rtx 3070

#

requires 3 pcie cables

muted patio
#

Ah 4

#

No it doesn't

#

2

little osprey
#

2

muted patio
#

I have one

little osprey
