There are lights on the MB that tell you what's wrong

[wicked frigate]

Boo on the mobo it said where the ram goes

Like what slot

[muted patio]

what lights were on?

[wicked frigate]

All I did was install 3 things on the mobo

[muted patio]

What was the post code?

[wicked frigate]

I’d isn’t turn anything on

I didn’t turn anything on

[muted patio]

SO you didn't turn anything on and returned it??

[wicked frigate]

Yah cause I could mount the aio

the brack was wrong

The one behind the mobo

[muted patio]

That's not a motherboard issue

[wicked frigate]

Like I couldn’t screw one thumb screw

Yes

It was

The other three went in perfectly

Accept for that hole

[muted patio]

Did you tighten them down?

[wicked frigate]

So all I did was

Take out the brackets that come with it

[muted patio]

Did you try the hole without the AIO in it?

Just the screw?

[wicked frigate]

Tired to put in the thumb screws but one of the whole was too small

Like I couldn’t put it through the whole

Hole

Just the thumbscrews

Because I needed to put those on first

But one wouldn’t fit

So I couldn’t do anything else

Also

What are the lights u told to loon at

Maybe I can search them up

Cause I am buying the same mobo

[wicked frigate]

Yes

[verbal shale]

Does anyone have tips on how to judge where to put bends in hard tubing for custom water cooling loops?

[jagged ember]

45 or 90 degree bends look the best according to linus

Anything else looks weird

I'd also assume putting the bend directly in the middle of the loop is the best way but

I'm by no means an expert

[odd abyss]

wdym “where to put” bends

like to bend to your block?

[flint sapphire]

Slim fans? 👀

[little osprey]

slim?

[flint sapphire]

The s in the name of the noctua fan stands for slim

It’s for small cases like super crammed

Wait am I dumb

[little osprey]

tbh im not educated on case fans.

[flint sapphire]

My b it’s actually not a slim fan... actually had to look at it

[little osprey]

I just grabbed one I saw reccomended for exhaust

[flint sapphire]

Noctua is great. It’s actually the silent variant

[little osprey]

and i like noctua poopy colors

yes

Anyways, thoughts on the choices that are yet to be bought?

[flint sapphire]

[little osprey]

🐧

[flint sapphire]

Well ontop of tht do you need the cpu power?

[little osprey]

I mean, I don't think it will look bad either

[little osprey]

The cpu is already purchased, no going back or thinking it twice LOL

[flint sapphire]

Ah gotchya

[little osprey]

I don't think I need it, but I will do engineering simulations so it might come in handy

[flint sapphire]

Go for a 3080 if possible imo. It would match the cpu a bit more lol

[little osprey]

Yeah, I'm a ChemE undergrad

we're going to use aspen and some fluid simulations too

[little osprey]

I would try but how the market prices have risen and the stock being so bad

I'm sticking with the 3070 evga card I copped

[flint sapphire]

The psu is a bit pricey 2 for what ya get

[little osprey]

Nope, it was the queue.

Lucky

I also bought a 3070 off amazon, but I sold it to a friend for msrp so I can get the evga one

it was a gigabyte

lul

[flint sapphire]

The enermax rev 850watt is like $20 cheaper

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07P7XLVJG?tag=pcpapi-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1

[little osprey]

Will look into it

[flint sapphire]

Also grab a M27q instead of tht tuf monitor if you don’t alrdy have it

[little osprey]

I'm also debating whether on getting the arctic freezer or the EK aio

[little osprey]

Purchased components are listed

I got the tuf

[flint sapphire]

My b I’m dumb

Yeah looks fine

[little osprey]

Nah you're good chief

[flint sapphire]

If you’re looking to save a bit more https://www.amazon.com/ARCTIC-ACFAN00121A-P12-PWM-Pressure-Optimized/dp/B07GSRRHZT/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=arctic+fan&qid=1621148228&sr=8-3 these fans are pretty alright

[little osprey]

Will look into it

thanks mat

mate*

[sharp bear]

Can i build a dope pc for 2k including monitor?

[frank stirrup]

yes

[cinder field]

Hey guys, If I buy ram for my desktop and put them alone after there is need to be some restart or something;

[frank stirrup]

make sure you get the exact same kit that you already have

there is a chance it wont work otherwise

atleast at xmp

[cinder field]

@frank stirrup

This is the one I have

[frank stirrup]

what mobo and what cpu?

[frank stirrup]

I would get a kit of 3200mhz tbh

2400mhz is terrible for AMD

[cinder field]

I have one of 8gb on right now it won't be problem I get another 2 that it's not 2400mhz;

[frank stirrup]

yeah get a 3200cl16 kit of gskill ripjaws

like 2x8 gb

You should see a MASSIVE increase in perf

[cinder field]

@frank stirrup Would be easy if you give me a link;

I just want to be sure when I get them.

[frank stirrup]

amazon or newegg?

[cinder field]

Amazon

[frank stirrup]

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B015FXXBW0/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_PCV4P5XHHTA6BJQWVYDD

[cinder field]

@frank stirrup Thank you!

[frank stirrup]

np

[fossil cedar]

Ditch the 8gb, running 3 sticks is tough on your cpu anyway

And they would run really slow

[frank stirrup]

^^^

[little osprey]

is 750w ok for 6900xt ? 🤔

[muted patio]

Yes

A good one

[little osprey]

thermaltake thoughpower 750w rgb 🤔

it's little bit old tho

[muted patio]

Toughpower grand?

[little osprey]

yeah

[muted patio]

Decent unit

Card draws 300W

[little osprey]

idk maybe it's driver but sometimes screen blacking when I switch apps or games between monitors 🤔

its for a second or less but it's annoying me

[muted patio]

Seems like a driver issue, yeah

[little osprey]

blacking usually couse power issues I think that's why I asked but it's amd so

[muted patio]

If you're concerned about PSU

Download GPU-Z and check 12V rail voltages

under load

[little osprey]

drivers are eww

[frank stirrup]

its a buggy driver for sure

[muted patio]

If it goes below say 11.5 you should upgrade

But I don't think it's a power issue

[little osprey]

yeah thanks I'll check it later . same couse hadn't seen ussie with 3070 but 6900xt probably drawing more power

[muted patio]

3070 is ~220W

6900XT is 300W

Still, i tihnk it's drivers

[little osprey]

oh here we go

driver crashed when I switch game between monitors

would you say a 650w power supply would be enough for a 5800x and a rtx 3060

[muted patio]

Yes

[frank stirrup]

its a driver thing yeah.

[little osprey]

I wish I can find 3080 or 3090 so I'll leave amd lol

[odd abyss]

are you looking to switch to intel?

[little osprey]

Im intel fanboy lol

[muted patio]

AMD GPU

[odd abyss]

oh

lol

do u want a nvidia one then

[little osprey]

rocking with 10700k lol

[odd abyss]

ahhh i see

[little osprey]

yeah I hate red team 🤣

[muted patio]

AMD CPU good, AMD GPU meh

[odd abyss]

i prefer nvidia over amd tbh

[fossil cedar]

Get the dg2 XD

[little osprey]

but couldn't find decent 3080 or 3090 so grabbed 6900xt from amd store for msrp

[muted patio]

Not a bad GPU though

Just their software

[odd abyss]

i was ab to say that

beat me to it

lmfao

[muted patio]

Less power than nVidia GPU

Less transients too

[frank stirrup]

Its pretty good as long as you stick to WHQL updates and not optional ones

[muted patio]

Ya

Most of the time

[frank stirrup]

the optional updates are basically beta

[odd abyss]

racer what type of manufacturers do u prefer for gpu

nvidia?

[little osprey]

gpu itself is not bad yaah it's working but drivers are really bad . like how the heck gpu driver can crash lol

zotac lol 🤣

[frank stirrup]

I mean personally I havent had a single issue with my RX570

amazing card

[little osprey]

Im looking for white strix 3080 or 90

[stoic island]

[odd abyss]

i have a zotac 1660

for my first ever pc

it’s not bad

zotac is really good

[muted patio]

Zotac works. Just don't OC well

[frank stirrup]

Zotac is meh

[odd abyss]

bruh

[little osprey]

they just forgetting some thermal pads

lol

[odd abyss]

yeah, best part is that i’m not overclocking this

lol

[stoic island]

My fav manufacturer is either TSMC or Samsung tho >:D

[odd abyss]

i don’t wanna push something past it’s limits

[frank stirrup]

EVGA has some great cards

asus does too

[odd abyss]

it’s dumb in my opinion xD

[frank stirrup]

Personally I like gigabyte

[little osprey]

yeah same

[muted patio]

EVGA is my go to

[little osprey]

overclocking is eh

[muted patio]

Has been since my 970

[stoic island]

EVGA objectively best warranty

[odd abyss]

isn’t EVGA best for overclocking

[muted patio]

Mmmmm

[frank stirrup]

Overclocking isnt pushing something past its limits. Its pushing it as close to the limit as possible

[little osprey]

I have gigabyte 3070 vision and im happy with it 🤔

[muted patio]

ASUS outclocked the EVGA 3070

[frank stirrup]

some models

like the kingpin is one of the best for OC

[muted patio]

When GN tested, ASUS is the 3070 OC king

[odd abyss]

kingpin?

is the best?

[frank stirrup]

its a model by evga

[muted patio]

Google Kingpin

[odd abyss]

oh i see

[muted patio]

XD

[odd abyss]

i will inna sec lmfao

[little osprey]

sadly evga don't have white cards

[frank stirrup]

IIRC the kingpin is what Jay and GN used in their OC showoff

[muted patio]

Pretty sure yeah

The one that comes prepped for LN2 overclocking

[little osprey]

white card= more fps lol

[odd abyss]

white cards = ewy

[fossil cedar]

Just not zotac 🔥/colourful/galax( or whatever their name is lol) most of their stuff seems low quality

[frank stirrup]

nah they took the cooler off

https://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=24G-P5-3998-KR

its that one

[odd abyss]

zotac is low quality?

[frank stirrup]

gigabyte, asus and evga best

[fossil cedar]

Yeah never had a problem with my r9 380

[odd abyss]

when i upgrade that’s where i’m going

[odd abyss]

^

[frank stirrup]

unless 3000 series nvidia

then dont get gigabyte

[odd abyss]

so is zotac fine to have for my first ever pc

[frank stirrup]

not great cooling on nvidia 30 series

[frank stirrup]

zotac is good enough

not great

[odd abyss]

alright

why not great

[little osprey]

zotac amp holo series is good so far

[odd abyss]

tho

[frank stirrup]

not well binned for the most part

[little osprey]

but always need to check thermal pads

[fossil cedar]

It's fine but haven't had good experiences with them

[odd abyss]

dang

[little osprey]

I seen lots of people said they forgot some thermal pads

[odd abyss]

that kinda sucks

idk if ill get good fps and stuff then

[frank stirrup]

Its fine for normal use

[fossil cedar]

This

[stoic island]

I mean

[odd abyss]

i can game on it tho right?

[frank stirrup]

just dont OC it

[stoic island]

Like gigabyte doesn't really have memory thermal pads for mining

And such

[odd abyss]

noooo never

what card should i upgrade to

i’ll show u my build

[frank stirrup]

https://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=24G-P5-3998-KR

[odd abyss]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/jccDVc

wait

a 3090 might splode in my computer lol

easily

would u say a 3060?

[frank stirrup]

nop

[frank stirrup]

3060 trash

[odd abyss]

bruh

i have a 1660

[frank stirrup]

3060ti good

[odd abyss]

how is a 3060 trash

bruh

if u say so

what one should i get then

[little osprey]

3090 definitely needs more than 750w right ? 🤔

[odd abyss]

yes

actually

[fossil cedar]

This the build you have now?

[odd abyss]

yes, my first ever build

first ever pc

[fossil cedar]

Ntb sn750 is hit or miss but solid

[little osprey]

750 is good

[frank stirrup]

its basically same perf as a 2060S

[fossil cedar]

I'd go 850w, probs not needed but

[frank stirrup]

rather get the 2060S for cheaper than a 3060

[fossil cedar]

Only trash (upgrade) if you have a 2060 or 1660

[odd abyss]

so get a 3060 to

ti

[fossil cedar]

If you can

[frank stirrup]

yes 3060ti gud

[fossil cedar]

3060 ti/3070

[odd abyss]

will it fit

and will it explode

i have 5 fans in case

[frank stirrup]

PC parts dont explode smh

unless tier e psu

[odd abyss]

wait

[little osprey]

I don't want to change psu couse I'm too lazy to replace it lol 🤣

[odd abyss]

nvm

i don’t have 5

i’m dumb

rn i have 2

wtf

[fossil cedar]

Yes it will but you will want a 650w+ psu

[little osprey]

unless gigabyte psu 😂

[odd abyss]

I DIDNT INSTALL THE REST OF MY FANS

bruh

i’m so mad

now i have to take all this crap out

[little osprey]

lol

[frank stirrup]

read the line below the one you replied to here lmfaoo

[odd abyss]

@frank stirrup do i have to take out al my freaking parts now

i forgot to install the rest of my fans

[fossil cedar]

No

[odd abyss]

can i just install them

[frank stirrup]

Why do you have to remove everything because fans?

[odd abyss]

idk where tf there cords go

[frank stirrup]

fans are ALWAYS last step

[odd abyss]

these

[frank stirrup]

ALWAYS

[fossil cedar]

Yes

[odd abyss]

ok

but where in the heck

[fossil cedar]

Ehh they don't gotta be

[cosmic bridge]

Yo, went to best buy and they have "Amazing" stock.

[odd abyss]

do i find a pin that looks like it fits

or what

lol

[frank stirrup]

unspoken rule mate

[fossil cedar]

Only 130$

[odd abyss]

lol

[muted patio]

BB hasn't had GPU stock since release of the 3000 series lol

[cosmic bridge]

Lol

[fossil cedar]

I've never considered that an unspoken rule but i guess

[cosmic bridge]

They also has ONE Ryzen 7

[odd abyss]

ok so i forgot to install the rest of my case fans, i wanna install the rest but idk where these cords go

[muted patio]

I always do fans first

XD

[odd abyss]

can anyone help

[frank stirrup]

fans always last unless preinstalled in case

[frank stirrup]

bad

[fossil cedar]

See @frank stirrup

[frank stirrup]

racer bad

[muted patio]

Nah

[fossil cedar]

Nae

[muted patio]

Makes it easy to route cables

[odd abyss]

how do i know where to plug this fan cord into

[muted patio]

Plus big case

lots of room

[frank stirrup]

bad

[fossil cedar]

Easier to route cables/mount top fans if small case

[odd abyss]

how do i know where to plug this fan cord into

[frank stirrup]

What mobo?

[fossil cedar]

Do you have a fan hub?

[muted patio]

If only there were labels on your motherboard for fan headers

[fossil cedar]

I doubt your mobo has 5+ fan headers

[odd abyss]

look at my part list above, i’m getting my panel off my case

one sev

[frank stirrup]

If only there were

[fossil cedar]

You'll need a fan hub for 5 fans btw

[odd abyss]

how much fans can i use

[fossil cedar]

The ones labled SATA right X)

[odd abyss]

bruh

this entire pc build was a scam

[fossil cedar]

Probs 1 or 2

[odd abyss]

that sucks

WHAT

dude

omg

i’m so mad rn

[fossil cedar]

Get a fan hub

[odd abyss]

what is that

and will it work in my case

[fossil cedar]

Yeah

You plug sata power into it

And then connect fans to it

[muted patio]

Fan hubs are universal for the most part

[fossil cedar]

And one header to motherboard to control fan speeds

[muted patio]

That one's cheaper

[odd abyss]

does it go down here at all

does anyone know

or is it somewhere else

[muted patio]

They're labeled FAN

look at the board lol

[fossil cedar]

Look for sys_fan or something

[rich helm]

Usually one on top right of mobo

[frank stirrup]

they look exactly like the thing you connected your other fans to

[rich helm]

And top left

[frank stirrup]

like the cpu cooler

[muted patio]

I see three fan labels in that pic

quick glance

[odd abyss]

i see “cha_fan2”

[fossil cedar]

Yea

[odd abyss]

is that where it would go

i would plug it into that

the hub

[fossil cedar]

Ye

[muted patio]

Look closer, there's 2 more

[odd abyss]

3 in total?

[fossil cedar]

Looks like you can plug in 3 atm

[rich helm]

Also why is mobo not screwed any of the places shown in this pic lol

[muted patio]

They're labeled FAN

[fossil cedar]

All 5 if you get a hub

[odd abyss]

i see 2 cha_fans

here

ill take a picture

[fossil cedar]

I'm hoping it was just slotted in

[frank stirrup]

and a cpu_fan

[muted patio]

Look closer

There's 3

[frank stirrup]

top right

[odd abyss]

cpu fan 2

up above

on the top

[frank stirrup]

cpu fan 1 should also be there somewhere then

[muted patio]

There are 3 fan spots on the bottom of the board

[odd abyss]

im loading pictures

i see the 3rd

ok bottom

on*

how much cpu fans r there

so they work the same as a case fan plug

case fan hub plug

[fossil cedar]

Cpu_fan should be cpu, then cha fan for your case fans

[odd abyss]

ok

is cha fan the one that i plug the hub into?

[fossil cedar]

You can plug the fans into it

[odd abyss]

oh

[fossil cedar]

If you have enough you won't need a hub

A fan hub is just like an extension lead for fans

[odd abyss]

if my cords on my fans won’t reach that far can i get a hub

[fossil cedar]

Yeah

[odd abyss]

ok

i see

and they all plug into cha fan

they both do

[fossil cedar]

But the intake fans should reach that anyway

[odd abyss]

wym

[fossil cedar]

Yeah i doubt all 5 will work without a hub

[odd abyss]

can i add 1 more

liek without a hub

[fossil cedar]

The fans at the front of your case will reach the ones at the bottom of the mobo

[odd abyss]

so can i add 1 more fan at least

[fossil cedar]

Depends if you have enough headers

[odd abyss]

what is a header? sorry i’m new

kinda new

i’m still learning

[fossil cedar]

The fan plug

It's okay

[odd abyss]

i have 3 cha fans

on bottom

cha_fan(1 through 3)

so for right now can i add 1 or 2 more fans (if i can) and then later on get a fan hub

and add the rest of my fans

[fossil cedar]

Yeah

[odd abyss]

imma see if i can add 1 or 2 more fans

[fossil cedar]

Try do 2 in the front as intake and 1 in the back

[odd abyss]

bc i don’t wnana over heat

[fossil cedar]

You won't overheat with a 10400 and 1660 dw

You could run that in a h510 and still not overheat

[odd abyss]

is logo facing in = intake

1 more intake here

[fossil cedar]

Yeah

[little osprey]

what

[odd abyss]

ok

[fossil cedar]

That's right

[odd abyss]

so logo facing the same way?

[muted patio]

Not logo

Motor frame

[little osprey]

where the plastic X is thats where it blows out @odd abyss

[odd abyss]

ok buddy

[muted patio]

Motor frame is the side the air exhausts from

[fossil cedar]

Yeah

[little osprey]

yeah

[odd abyss]

but is that an exhaust or intake

[muted patio]

There are also arrows on the fan housing

[odd abyss]

the one i took a pic of

[muted patio]

That show which way it blows

[fossil cedar]

Sorry i thought you mounted that one woops

[little osprey]

intake dude..

it blows in

[odd abyss]

ok so i was right

[little osprey]

yeah you were

[odd abyss]

so “motor frame” or “logo” facing inwards is intake

[fossil cedar]

Mount the cage/frame facing the same way as stock fan

[odd abyss]

so basically do it the same way

[fossil cedar]

Logo should face outwards, frame inwards

[odd abyss]

as an intake

[fossil cedar]

Yeah

And then reverse in the back

[odd abyss]

one sev lemme check what frame u talkin ab

[muted patio]

The X

The X is the motor frame

[little osprey]

yes.

i mean its just fans

its not rocket science

[odd abyss]

so this is exhaust

loading photo

[muted patio]

Look on the fan housing for arrows lol

[little osprey]

well if it blows air out its exhaust

[little osprey]

yeah that is indeed exhaust

[muted patio]

They point in the direction it blows

[odd abyss]

ok

imma see if i can install at least 1 more fan

[fossil cedar]

It's confusing for a beginner tbf

[odd abyss]

it’s gonna look funky but whatever

lmfao

[little osprey]

oh..

[fossil cedar]

2 intake 1 exhaust looks normal lol

[little osprey]

if you say so

[odd abyss]

so do this (don’t bully for colors i picked the wrong ones and was planning on swapping out the fans)

i have a 2nd photo loading

[muted patio]

For intake yes

[odd abyss]

ok

or this way

so “antec” is exhaust if i see “antec”

[little osprey]

what

[muted patio]

NO

[little osprey]

no

[muted patio]

-_-

[little osprey]

THE PLASTIC X

forget the logo

[odd abyss]

ok

my bad

lmfao

[little osprey]

no worries

[odd abyss]

this way then

[little osprey]

plastic x is where the fan blows air out

[fossil cedar]

It's fine lol I've 1 white p12 because the black one wouldn't ship to me for some reason when u have 2 black case fans that came stock it looks fine

[fossil cedar]

Yes

[odd abyss]

ok

[fossil cedar]

For intake

[odd abyss]

that’s intake?

ok

[muted patio]

Seriously

[odd abyss]

thanks guys

[muted patio]

Look on the fan housing for arrows

[odd abyss]

what lol

ok

ill do that for now on

[muted patio]

It'll make sense

that way

[odd abyss]

i gotta find my case screws one sec

[little osprey]

intake is when the fan blows inside

exhaust is when it blows outside

the direction is either signified by an arrow on the side of the fan

or you can tell by the fact that the housing of the motor (the plastic X) is on the side which has the air coming out of.

i cannot put it any simpler than that

[muted patio]

And if you call exhaust outtake it's

[odd abyss]

ummmm

[fossil cedar]

Crime against humanity 😂

[odd abyss]

i can’t find my case screws

does the case come with screws

[fossil cedar]

Fans come with screws usually

[odd abyss]

bc u swear i put all my screws in this one baggy

ok

i’ll look

[fossil cedar]

But usually the case comes with screws too

[fossil cedar]

Why would you mix screw's...

[little osprey]

you should keep a bunch of screws

in case

[odd abyss]

i didn’t mix

i sorted

[fossil cedar]

Ohh okay

[little osprey]

im not the one to flex

[odd abyss]

these look WAY to small

they came with fans

[muted patio]

Those are correct

[odd abyss]

how tf...

[little osprey]

[odd abyss]

how does the screw go through this

it’s so small

[muted patio]

Phanteks pog

[little osprey]

sheeesh

[muted patio]

Comes with case

[little osprey]

goes trough?

[fossil cedar]

Self tapping screws that's why they look so big

[muted patio]

That's why they have big threads lol

[little osprey]

i like fan screws

yes

hello Poul Squad

[odd abyss]

ok so the screw doesent go through that hole

where does it go then

[little osprey]

it goes into the hole

[odd abyss]

it’s to small

[little osprey]

you should screw from the side of the case into the fan

[muted patio]

It doesn't go through it

It screws INTO it

[odd abyss]

oh

i see

so i have to take off my panel on my case?

i see

[little osprey]

yes.

yes you do.

[odd abyss]

k one sec

[little osprey]

i mean

sure

i guess go for the ryzen 5 3600 and whatever gpu you have money leftover

thats my tip

[muted patio]

No

[still roost]

poki69#7930 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[muted patio]

10400/11400 beats 3600 for less money

[little osprey]

oh really

fun

[rapid ravine]

any thoughts?

[muted patio]

No swears pls

what do you have now

[odd abyss]

which screws do i use

[little osprey]

i usually only buy used hardware

[muted patio]

Any of those

[odd abyss]

k

[muted patio]

So yeah, Mobo, CPU, RAM needs replaced.

fun

[little osprey]

i mean a 1500 budget is fine

for all of that

[muted patio]

Not in this GPU market

[little osprey]

that depends how fancy and brainwashed you are

if you ask me

[odd abyss]

do i need an anti static bracelet to install case fan

[little osprey]

no

no you do not

well

its your computer

[muted patio]

Ya, I'm making a list

[little osprey]

but from experience ican tell you that in modern days, its insanely hard to ruin anything with static

and unless youre building on a carpet static wont be an issue

damn

[muted patio]

What GPU and power supply do you have now?

[little osprey]

oh woah

[muted patio]

What power supply?

[stoic island]

Gt 710?

Or 710w psu

[muted patio]

1000 what

[still roost]

2889#4416 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[stoic island]

And 1000w what

[little osprey]

1000w holy frick

[stoic island]

Hx? RMi? Capstone?

[little osprey]

who built that..

[muted patio]

1000W what, model and brand

[snow wasp]

There’s a 710w psu? XD

[stoic island]

Don't question what OEMs do, there's a bit of everything

[muted patio]

Fair enough

What resolution gaming?

[snow wasp]

Ik I’m just asking mr111 lol

[muted patio]

What resolution are your monitors?

[viral ore]

this convo hurts to watch

[muted patio]

That's refresh rate

What resolution

1080p\

[odd abyss]

there’s no grooves in my case fan to screw my screw into @muted patio

[muted patio]

1440p

[odd abyss]

u said u screw from the back right

[stoic island]

1080p? 1440p? 4k?

[odd abyss]

there’s no grooves

that i see

[little osprey]

the case doesnt have the thread bro

[muted patio]

Screws make grooves

[little osprey]

the screw threads into the fan

not the case.

[odd abyss]

oh

[muted patio]

Screw from front of case into fan

[little osprey]

come on its not that hard to screw a fan in bro

[odd abyss]

don’t mind the colors (photo loading)

this way right?

so i screw into the case fan and it makes grooves?

[muted patio]

ya

[odd abyss]

but through the case thingy

alright

[snow wasp]

Yes

[odd abyss]

i’m using a screwdriver so i’d it gonna be harder?

[viral ore]

harder than?

[odd abyss]

is it gonna*

[muted patio]

ATX or MATX motherboard?

What size is your case?

[viral ore]

its designed to be threaded with a screwdriver

just put some force behind it and hold the fan

[odd abyss]

how tight do the screws go

[little osprey]

until its flush

[odd abyss]

what does that mean lol

[little osprey]

bro

[viral ore]

until the fan doesnt move anymore

[muted patio]

Until it's tight

[snow wasp]

All the way in....0

[little osprey]

until the screw doesnt stick out

[odd abyss]

ok

[muted patio]

dood

Just screw it on

XD

[little osprey]

yeah

[misty heron]

hello

im back

[little osprey]

worst case scenario you strip the fan

[snow wasp]

Bro a screw is meant to go all the way on....

[little osprey]

yeah

[snow wasp]

In*

[little osprey]

even if you strip the fan its ok

you can use zip ties.

or just use 2 screws

[misty heron]

uh i forgot who gave me the links for my ethernet cable yesterday but what do i do after dling the zip file

[little osprey]

but dont strip your fan.

[viral ore]

dont budget for individual things, give us the total amount you are looking to spend, and the components you need to buy

you mentioned something about ram a while back

[stoic island]

@high coral easiest way
Give us a pcpp list of what you currently own, and a budget for everything you want to buy.

[viral ore]

alright, good

[odd abyss]

this good?

just plug it in now?

[viral ore]

what things do you already have? i would suggest using pcpartpicker.com

[cinder field]

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08SJF5WZT/?coliid=I3250P7YW68W9G&colid=3L8QQSQX61RPI&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it&th=1 Hey guys, a friend wanna get this laptop for playing Second life and games is that a good laptop?

[odd abyss]

@muted patio so plug it into any “cha_fan”

[viral ore]

intel iGPU? might struggle a bit

depends on the game tho

it'll handle minecraft really well

[odd abyss]

ummm

i have a problem

[little osprey]

[cinder field]

My friend said he will mostly use it for playing Second life if you know it.

[little osprey]

dont tell me you messed up putting 4 screws in

come on

[odd abyss]

idk if u can see but i have 3 notches

and in my case all my “cha_fan” is 4

so does that mean these fans r useless?

oh

[little osprey]

NOPE

[viral ore]

i looked up the requirements, that laptop will be fine

[odd abyss]

it’ll work the same?

[little osprey]

yes.

it will work the same

the 4th pin is just control pin

[muted patio]

Gotta set fan control in BIOS to DC mode

[odd abyss]

idk if u can see, i can’t focus on the plug

[viral ore]

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08RCWPSNL 20gb overkill tho

get the 12gb one

[odd abyss]

do the notches on the bottom face up or down

[muted patio]

Else it'll run 100% all the time

[odd abyss]

it’s hard to see

i can’t focus on it

[little osprey]

what notches

[odd abyss]

the bottom

it’s hard to see

[cinder field]

Do you have something better to suggest on that money?

[viral ore]

dunno, you still havent told us what components you currently have

[odd abyss]

the bottom of the plug

[odd abyss]

ok

i see

[muted patio]

Intel 6th gen

whole thing needs rebuilt XD

[viral ore]

where? i must be blind

unless it was a while ago

[odd abyss]

ok i did it, now just turn on and see if it works?

[viral ore]

what are you planning to do for a GPU? do you already have one lined up?

[odd abyss]

@little osprey

[viral ore]

or are you gonna stick it out with the gt 710 for the time being

they dont make 2060's anymore

[muted patio]

Not for 1440p

3060TI or 3070

[viral ore]

oh nvm lol

[little osprey]

sure thing

[odd abyss]

ok

[little osprey]

worst case scenario, fan wont spin

best of luck

[odd abyss]

it works!

let’s goooo

[muted patio]

You said you were gaming on 1440p

[odd abyss]

thanks guys

[muted patio]

SO which one you gaming on?

XD

[viral ore]

so where are you planning on getting it from? you should be hitting the newegg shuffle everytime its open

[little osprey]

good job

all you bro

hope you remember it for next time

[odd abyss]

thank:)

i will indeed

[viral ore]

https://www.nowinstock.net/computers/videocards/nvidia/rtx3070/
also subscribe to this if you want a shot at actually buying a 3070

no, you have 2k for all your pc parts

[little osprey]

thats a decent budget.

you can do a lot of things with that

do you exclusively game? or do you do other things?

thats important

a lot of people overspend on processor eventho they only game.

thats a trend i noticed

[viral ore]

also, i guess you're not aware that you cannot purchase GPUs at the moment

[little osprey]

who said

i mean

[viral ore]

the economy?

[little osprey]

unless youre foolish enough to buy new

you can buy gpus where i live

not new tho

[muted patio]

New is foolish XD

[viral ore]

so is used tbh

unless you get lucky

most people really be charging 200 for gtx 770s lmao

5800x is good

but intels got better things for the price atm

like the 10600k p cheap

performs only slightly worse overall

11600k as well

[little osprey]

where do you live

i can still get a 1060 for like 120 bucks

[muted patio]

There is no 3060 founders, 3060TI?

3060TI founders, yes, Best Buy only

Regular 3060 founders doesn't exist

[odd abyss]

ok so i have case fans that came pre installed with my case, i have no clue where there plugged in, would anyone here know?

[muted patio]

Gotta follow the cables dood

[viral ore]

where do you live? we need to know if you are not in the USA

you sure dont sound like you live in the usa

[odd abyss]

there behind this one panel in my case

[viral ore]

figures

[odd abyss]

liek it goes through the wall in my case

it’s a cable management case

so it goes behind this one wall, want me to show u

[little osprey]

fan hub ?

[viral ore]

helping people in other countries is really tough, because we have no idea what prices or availability looks like

[odd abyss]

here i’ll show u where the cord goes

[little osprey]

you can take off both side panels

which will reveal everything

[viral ore]

what places would you order components from?

[odd abyss]

ok i’ll check it out

i don’t want 10000 cords to come flying at me tho

[viral ore]

not what i asked

so go and see what your local store has

we can recommend things, and your store will have none of it

he does not

[muted patio]

Well, that's very hard to say without knowing prices

[viral ore]

we cant

you should ask the dude in the store

[little osprey]

dont worry about it man @odd abyss

[viral ore]

tell him you have 2k

he will most likely help you spend 2k

its his business to after all

[little osprey]

a good rule in pc building is, dont force it if it doesnt wanna go.

[viral ore]

not so sure about that

[little osprey]

oh come on

[muted patio]

Don't avoid the filter bot

[snow wasp]

Then u can come and ask us when u got the items he recommend😂

Or the list rather

[viral ore]

you have a max budget, hes gonna sell you 2k worth of things, i doubt he would go out of his way to make sure they dont work together

ya know

and?

[snow wasp]

Yea but for 2k...

[viral ore]

thats better than our recommendations, because that is taking into account things we will never know

do you know if he even has 5800x to sell?

how much is he charging for it

[snow wasp]

He should 5800x regularly in stock

[viral ore]

this is a local computer store in india

we know literally nothing

[snow wasp]

O nvm then

[little osprey]

imagine living in india

that must suck

[muted patio]

[little osprey]

imagine needing a backup power supply for your pc

sad life

[viral ore]

deleting all his messages lmaoooo

ok bud

[little osprey]

who

is he schizophrenic?

[viral ore]

paranoid, apparently

[little osprey]

yeah i understand that

if it wasnt for the fact that the messages stay on discords servers

so

its futile to delete them

[viral ore]

its not like the text has any value to anyone to begin with

[little osprey]

true

[snow wasp]

https://tenor.com/view/yikes-michael-scott-the-office-my-bad-oof-gif-13450971

[muted patio]

Well, it's hard to advise when we don't know inventory or prices

[high coral]

5800 which board is best for it

@muted patio i can tell you price

leave price

[viral ore]

what options do you have? what boards are available to you

[high coral]

all

[viral ore]

[woeful sable]

That’s what she said

[little osprey]

yeah

[robust lake]

[viral ore]

yo chillllll

[little osprey]

alright

[high coral]

u just tell the best for 5800 in $340

[muted patio]

Gonna go this way is it

[little osprey]

its not going any way

[viral ore]

do you need wifi?

or are you using ethernet

[rapid ravine]

so i found a prebuilt PC with a 1660 ti and a i5 9400f for just under 600$. only problem is the motherboard isnt the best and it only comes with 8 gbs of ram, so any thoughts on this system? i'd defo get more ram and a better motherboards

[high coral]

@viral ore i need a wifi inboard

@viral ore i use ethernet but still i need a wifi

[stoic island]

Sounds pretty good, could just get new ram

[rapid ravine]

yeah, the only problem is the motherboards in my opinion

[viral ore]

I like the Gigabyte B550 AORUS ELITE AX V2, but its been a while since i've recommended a motherboard

[stoic island]

What about it...?

It's not like h310 will make the chip blow up

[viral ore]

dunno if there are better options nowadays

[stoic island]

@viral ore I like aorus pro ac too now because elite ax pricing can get wacky

[high coral]

@viral ore more pricy and better in asus

[stoic island]

Aorus pro ac is better than b550-f if that's what you're asking

[viral ore]

i dont give a just get whatever damn board you can get your hands on

[stoic island]

Lel

[viral ore]

dont come here asking for recommendations

then just say no

i dont even know if your computer store in india has that board

i have no way to know

what asus board?

does your store even carry any asus boards?

we literally have no idea

[jolly pebble]

i have a rtx 3090

[viral ore]

get the B550-F Gaming WiFi

[jolly pebble]

founders edition 3090 made by nividia

[high coral]

@viral ore india has everything

[muted patio]

Really..... #building-and-recc-chat message

[high coral]

we have all old vintage rare and latest tech things

[stoic island]

Lol

[viral ore]

if this place doesnt even have a website then i doubt that

[jolly pebble]

my personal build

[stoic island]

There's a good amount of things missing, especially in terms of peripherals.

[high coral]

@viral ore your thought old man chnge it

[stoic island]

I never paid attention to various PC parts

But peripherals

Like iirc Schiit doesn't even ship to India

:p

Can't find any koss on ear headphones at a reasonable price

[viral ore]

in conclusion, no one here wants to help you anymore

because, we really cant

[high coral]

@viral ore no need

[viral ore]

we have no help to give

[high coral]

@viral ore i dont need help from old man thoughts

[viral ore]

ok but im like a teenager

[snow wasp]

https://tenor.com/view/deez-ha-got-heem-got-em-got-him-gif-4824899

[stoic island]

@high coral we're not saying India is a country without PCs or anything like that, but we're saying from experience, lots of things are either just not avaliable, or at ridiculous prices.

Oh hey

They're gone

[viral ore]

poof

[muted patio]

Really hard to help without knowing prices or inventory :/

[viral ore]

seriously, he wants us to give him a random board, then says bUt ItS nOt AsUS

like tf

[stoic island]

Sad

Indian retailers really need to start getting websites thooo

[high coral]

@stoic island there are websites

[stoic island]

@high coral like

[viral ore]

then give us one?

[stoic island]

I'm getting annoyed at Amazon.in

The prices are crap

Really really crap

[high coral]

we have all components of pcs

[stoic island]

@high coral but not specific ones

[viral ore]

dude sounds like hes just trolling now

[stoic island]

Find me a x570 aqua for example

:D

[high coral]

@stoic island my local store from where i buy have a website and non other then that a good place where the bussiness is good have a website

[stoic island]

And, can you link them..?

[viral ore]

mans only got one video and one subscriber on youtube lmaooooo

[snow wasp]

U gotta start somewhere

[stoic island]

I hate lazada with a passion but

[viral ore]

what, a single pubg video from a year ago?

[stoic island]

At least that's avaliable for most of SE Asia

[snow wasp]

Uh

[viral ore]

and hes still got YT in his name kekw

[latent storm]

how hard would it be to build a pc around the classic noctua color scheme

[little osprey]

not hard

if youre willing to do some custom stuff

[latent storm]

i kinda wanna do it

[viral ore]

black goes good with any color

[little osprey]

do it

[stoic island]

Not too hard as long as you find a case or paint a case

[little osprey]

it looks awesome

[stoic island]

Assuming Noctua beige

[viral ore]

any color that isnt tan or brown can be black

and it would still look decent

[little osprey]

just get a silver or transparent acrylic case

and then just make the insides beige

[robust lake]

1400$

[little osprey]

hypothetically you could paint your motherboard

[stoic island]

Heh

[robust lake]

For that mb

[muted patio]

sheeeesh

That's crazy

[snow wasp]

I think Linus used it for one of his vids?

[little osprey]

eh

theres multiple watercooled mobos

didnt he use the aorus waterforce one?

or am i tripping

idk

dementia got me forgetting.

[stoic island]

@high coral what about an ASRock X370 pro btc+

:)

[snow wasp]

I remember the first one broke for some reason and he’s possibly using the Aorus one lol

[little osprey]

ohyeah

[snow wasp]

What ever 😅

[little osprey]

idk

[stoic island]

These are still relatively mainstream, without going to wacky power supplies

[little osprey]

dementia has me forgetting stuff

[snow wasp]

4 real

Tho

[little osprey]

you can watercool anything if you want to

[stoic island]

Like I don't think you'll be able to find any bitfenix units, those tend to only be sold in Europe

[little osprey]

i remember the days where you had to make your own watercooling

aquarium pump and a bucket of water next to the pc
