CPU pulls 120W

#

550W is only overkill until you get a GPU

hallow glen May 17, 2021, 2:03 PM

#

ok

#

i mean it's not for me

fossil cedar May 17, 2021, 2:04 PM

#

550w isn't overkill lol? There's like decent psu under 500w anyway

hallow glen May 17, 2021, 2:04 PM

#

its overkill for the actual apu. i don't know if my friend will add a gpu in the future, but probably not

#

So my build is a little over a year old now and I just started having a problem and was hoping someone here would know something about it.

#

Sometimes when I turn my pc on or wake it up, my main display doesn’t pick up the signal. The monitor will start to come out of sleep mode but will just say no signal. My second display always works fine. The main display is using display port.

#

To fix it I have to unplug it and plug it back in.

#

Anyone know why this would be happening?

chrome nest May 17, 2021, 9:23 PM

#

muted patio Pretty sure manual says + or -.

I'm not asking where to plug them but which direction

#

Should the letters be facing up

#

Or down?

stoic island May 17, 2021, 9:23 PM

#

what

chrome nest May 17, 2021, 9:23 PM

#

#

Like should they be plugged in like this

#

Or should the letters go down

muted patio May 17, 2021, 9:24 PM

#

stoic island May 17, 2021, 9:24 PM

#

I don't understand the question

muted patio May 17, 2021, 9:24 PM

#

Letters don't matter at all

stoic island May 17, 2021, 9:24 PM

#

just

#

follow the manual

chrome nest May 17, 2021, 9:24 PM

#

So it doesn't matter which way I plug it in

stoic island May 17, 2021, 9:24 PM

#

manual says connector plug into header, do it.

muted patio May 17, 2021, 9:24 PM

#

Line up plus and minus, that's it

chrome nest May 17, 2021, 9:25 PM

#

You know how you can plug a USB only in one way

muted patio May 17, 2021, 9:25 PM

#

Ok

#

It doesn't matter

#

As long as + and - match

#

taht's it

stoic island May 17, 2021, 9:25 PM

#

yeye

chrome nest May 17, 2021, 9:25 PM

#

Okay

stoic island May 17, 2021, 9:25 PM

#

remember, this is single pins

#

it's symmetrical

#

it's 1

chrome nest May 17, 2021, 9:25 PM

#

That's what I was trying to ask if it mattered

#

Alright thank you

muted patio May 17, 2021, 9:25 PM

#

And we said it didn't a few times XD

stoic island May 17, 2021, 9:25 PM

#

this is like a 3.5mm jack if you're comparing it to a usb cable

#

it doesn't matter

#

follow the manual on where to plug it in

muted patio May 17, 2021, 9:26 PM

#

The only one where + and - matter is the PLED

#

the rest don't matter

chrome nest May 17, 2021, 9:26 PM

#

I almost got everything plugged in

#

Finally

#

This is the most confusing part I feel like

earnest olive May 17, 2021, 9:33 PM

#

careful those pins aren't the same on every single mobo

#

they are on most but some are different

#

best to RTM

#

out of the 35 builds i've done one had a different layout for front panel pins

wheat plume May 17, 2021, 9:34 PM

#

sheeesh

#

of the 2 builds i have done they were the same

earnest olive May 17, 2021, 9:35 PM

#

yeah they're almost always the same

#

however

#

one build i did very recently had this layout instead

#

which is very different from the "standard"

wheat plume May 17, 2021, 9:35 PM

#

what mobo?

earnest olive May 17, 2021, 9:35 PM

the board is also from 2013 so that might be why lol

just buy whichever one you can afford why is it even a comparison

#

little merlin Does it heat up that high?

This generation does, yeah

earnest olive May 17, 2021, 9:39 PM

#

that doesn't go into mobo

#

that goes into a sata power cable from power supply

#

is that from an rgb controller or something

chrome nest May 17, 2021, 9:39 PM

#

I think so

#

Can it come from a fan hub?

earnest olive May 17, 2021, 9:39 PM

#

yeah you are going to find a sata power cable from your power supply

#

yeah

#

fan hubs typically use sata power

chrome nest May 17, 2021, 9:39 PM

#

I think it's for my fan hub

earnest olive May 17, 2021, 9:39 PM

#

yes

#

plug it into power supply if you are using it

#

if you are plugging fans into mobo just leave fan hub unplugged

chrome nest May 17, 2021, 9:40 PM

#

Okay

#

I'm gonna use the fan hub

little merlin May 17, 2021, 9:41 PM

fossil cedar Also i don't like lian li

I don’t that much either but the distroplate you can get makes water cooling so much easier I’ve heard

#

Since no res pump combo you have to have sitting around in case

#

jumper is fast way but its little but unsafe bbnohappy

potent portal May 18, 2021, 1:00 AM

#

Unsafe how? Jumping the wrong header and shorting the board?

little osprey May 18, 2021, 1:01 AM

#

no I mean ... once I killed mobo I think couse I forgot to disconnect cpu power cable

#

all cables should disconnected before use jumper bbnohappy

potent portal May 18, 2021, 1:03 AM

#

Most of the time the procedure for the jumper header is to just have the computer off, with the power supply left on, and touch the pins with metal for a few seconds so it grounds and wipes the cmos memory

#

Requiring all the cables to be disconnected seems counter to the purpose of the jumper

little osprey May 18, 2021, 1:04 AM

yeah thats what mobo manual says lol

but once I used jumper and mobo never booted again

Since you already bought it, it's fine

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/k9tyz7

System Builder

#

you can save a few bucks if you don't care about rgb on the cooler

#

but that's pretty cheap for one with rgb anyways

#

240mm aio will allow 5600x to max boost

#

you could probably get away with less but it would be louder and/or hotter

grizzled quest May 18, 2021, 3:55 AM

#

THANK YOU SO MUCH 😊

#

cant thank you enough

earnest olive May 18, 2021, 3:56 AM

#

np

#

the cheaper mobo gives you more budget for the cooling so it's worth

#

can maybe remove one fan since the aio has 2 fans

grizzled quest May 18, 2021, 4:01 AM

#

@earnest olive is there a better cooler because that one has 1 negative rating

earnest olive May 18, 2021, 4:02 AM

#

meh i don't care about amazon user reviews

#

i bought one for a cheap resell build

#

it works fine

#

yes pump always runs at 100% but that's not really a problem

#

it's not loud and a lot of people that do have controllable pumps still run them at 100% always lol

#

and they're wrong about the rgb being proprietary

#

the connectors look a bit strange but i was able to connect it to standard 5v 3 pin argb header

#

mounting rad at the top is an option as long as you cable manage it correctly

#

i used it to cool an i7-8700K @ 5.1ghz just fine

#

most user reviews don't know what they're talking about

grizzled quest May 18, 2021, 4:04 AM

#

So if i get this cooler, I will mount it on the top correct?

top or front both work

For the price of $87 swap the G3 for a A650GF with actual functional OPP, as well as swap the p360a for the p300a and p12s to save some money, there’s also zero need for an AIO, a Vetroo v5, Se-224xt, Gammax GTE V2, Gammax 400 V2, or NB1055KB/NB5510CF will be more than fine for half the price furthermore reason why not to get that AIO is because there’s no testing/reputable review on it featuring the 240mm variant, I would also swap out the ssd to something more targeted to the basic consumer(assuming this a gaming pc) like a Mushkin Helix-L, and swap out the ram for a 3200mh cl16 kit instead as for consumer use you won’t notice a difference and will also save $10.

You can just get sata to molex adapters

they're the same voltage?

stoic island May 18, 2021, 1:32 PM

#

Well, they won't come with extra cables that plug into SATA that gives you molex

#

and well

#

who knows

#

@bitter mason a thing with PSUs is that on the PSU side, the pinout is wack

#

as in, there's no standard for the pinout on the PSU side

bitter mason May 18, 2021, 1:32 PM

ya it'll be a mission to get more cables cuz they're all proprietary

muted patio May 18, 2021, 1:33 PM

Which EVGA PSU in particular?

Most come with a string of molex, IE, 4-5 molex on a run of cable

For an 850W PSU

I'd recommend the Enermax REvolution DF

ya?

why is the gold enermax $130 but the platinum is $270?

Because different units are priced weirdly, and probably out of stock things

muted patio May 18, 2021, 1:45 PM

Platinum is just marketing, just get Gold. The power "savings" takes years to overcome the cost difference
