Is anyone available to video call to help me with this aio/fan hooking up process. I've been stuck on it for days

[earnest olive]

i need them to play minecraft

[spiral flame]

you need those shaders

[lyric thistle]

[frank stirrup]

I can send you a video tutorial

[indigo prism]

i can try it but i have been trying, i mean the problem im having is basically all my cables are 12-4 pin and all my motherboard places are 1234. i have no where to plug them in

[earnest olive]

when i go on youtube to search for a guide for aio installation

and in recommended videos there's really tasty looking food

now i want food

[frank stirrup]

Pics

[earnest olive]

@indigo prismyou owe me food now

anyways what mobo is it

and what aio is it

[indigo prism]

if we can figure this out i will actually buy you dinner lmao

[earnest olive]

bet

[frank stirrup]

Dm me the pics ill send em here for ya

[indigo prism]

bet

[earnest olive]

for legal reasons, that's a joke

[spiral flame]

it is sad I live almost 2 hours away from my closest microcenter and cant drive

[earnest olive]

but yeah if you're talking about rgb it may be different rgb standards (such as 4-pin rgb vs. 3-pin addressable) in which case you'd need an rgb hub/controller to get it done

[frank stirrup]

Rule 9 😎

[earnest olive]

.

i'm safe

[frank stirrup]

Aww Im not fast enough

Shucks

[earnest olive]

the guy that needed help disappeared

[indigo prism]

im on dm with isp

[earnest olive]

damn

he do be stealing my dinner

[indigo prism]

if you can help me live that would be ideal, i thing they went offline lmao

[earnest olive]

i asked what mobo and what aio you bought

[indigo prism]

i just wanna get this darn part over with lol

[earnest olive]

i wanna see if they have compatible rgb standards

[indigo prism]

oh sorry, mobo is rog strix b550 a gaming
aio is (dont laugh) (ok you can laugh) the ID pinkflow
and the fans im trying to also connect are the lancool mesh 2

[earnest olive]

why would i laugh pink builds are lit

[indigo prism]

oh dam people on the other discords im on absolutely hate on me for getting that aio

[earnest olive]

why?

[indigo prism]

im like sorry buds thats what im getting

they say its super bad

but im not trying to get optimal im trying to be aesthetic

[earnest olive]

aios have very little variation in performance

so your motherboard has one ARGB header

and ARGB is the type you need

luckily for you ID-COOLING bundles a splitter that allows you to connect multiple fans to one header

[potent portal]

You like what you like. I wouldn't even give someone crap over painting their build neon green. It's not my PC.

[earnest olive]

https://youtu.be/xfMviVotmAE?t=77 watch this video starting from 1:17 where they demonstrate how to do so

[indigo prism]

but the argb is what i used for the case's cable, it needed to be plugged into an argb too

[earnest olive]

ah

so your problem is that you don't have enough argb headers

well

there are a few possible solutions

solution 1 is to use another splitter (you will have to buy for a couple bucks) to hook up the case fans and the aio to

and then plug in the splitter into the mobo header

gives you software control on all fans simultaneously and 5 fans are safe on one header

solution 2 you can avoid buying anything by using the included argb controllers

your case has a built in argb controller that can be controlled via buttons on the top

[indigo prism]

oh so that is what is connected rn to the argb?

[earnest olive]

if you plug in the fans from the AIO into the mobo, then you connect the case fans to the case's built in controller, then it'll work without buying anything extra

however you'll have to control the case fans with the buttons and the AIO fans through software

which is not an issue if you are going for a static color (like static pink or white)

if you are going for synced rainbow/complex effects then you will have to just get another splitter

[indigo prism]

how hard is it to change that later if i wanna get it connected now and then switch to the other way later?

[frank stirrup]

Not very

[earnest olive]

all you'd have to do is disconnect the case fans from the built in controller and reconnect them to a splitter

a matter of seconds

[indigo prism]

ok awesome so rn ill try and connect it to have one solid color that is okay.
but i have to physically control the fans?

[earnest olive]

look at the picture i posted

you have to use those buttons to control the case fans

AIO fans will be controlled via software

[indigo prism]

ok, instead of the color lol

sorry this is a lot to try and follow lol

so rn ill do the way i can do rn with the parts i have, and i will get splitters next tim i can get to a micro

[earnest olive]

there are plenty on amazon dirt cheap with prime shipping

[indigo prism]

so each of my fans have 2 cables, one is a 12-3 female, and the other is a 123 female. which is what

[earnest olive]

so by 12-3 you mean there is a gap?

[indigo prism]

that is right

[earnest olive]

the one with a gap is for ARGB

the one that's just 3 pins with no gap is fan power

that would go into a fan header on the motherboard

[indigo prism]

ok but i have no splitter for those 3 pin only ones?

[earnest olive]

your motherboard has 5 fan headers

[indigo prism]

ok, i have 6 fans so i can only get 5 working rn

[earnest olive]

it would be very surprising if there are no splitters included with either the case or the cooler

are you sure?

[indigo prism]

lemme check

[earnest olive]

can they be daisy chained?

some fans have an additional 3-pin male header that can be used to give power to another fan

typically cases or coolers with multiple fans will have some way to merge the cable requirements of the fans into one header

whether it's daisy chaining or included splitter cables

[indigo prism]

ok so the cables i have at my disposal are a 4 male 12-4 pin that goes to a 12-4 female
i have a 3 male 12-4 that goes into a female
and the case includes a daisy 3 12-4 cable
and i also have a 123 pin cable that goes to a 12-4 cable

[earnest olive]

picture would be more helpful at this point lol

according to amazon q&a the pinkflow does include fan splitter cable

[indigo prism]

ik that is why i am trying to video with people cause pictures are time consuming lol

one sec

[earnest olive]

second picture is the fan splitter

[indigo prism]

Those are the 3 splitters I have

[indigo prism]

That one is for the pinkflow fans right?

[earnest olive]

presumably, since pinkflow has 2 fans and case has 3

[indigo prism]

I have the pinkflow 360, 3 fans

[earnest olive]

plug the male connectors from the fans into red

plug black onto motherboard fan header

oh, weird

they gave you a 2 way fan splitter for 3 fans?

[indigo prism]

No the 3rd splitter is just not pictured

Sorry 😅

[earnest olive]

oh

so that cable branches into 3?

then yeah that's perfect

[indigo prism]

Thats right

[earnest olive]

just plug one of each male connector from the fans into one of those

then plug the smaller female connector onto motherboard fan header

[indigo prism]

Ok and for ref, I have the pinkflow fans loose, the lancool fans are being used on the aio

If that changes things

[earnest olive]

you should not do that

fans that are bundled with aios tend to be different from regular case fans

[indigo prism]

Omg 😭

[earnest olive]

fans intended to be installed on radiators are more optimized for pressure because they need to push or pull air through the fins

fans intended to be used as case fans typically are more optimized for airflow

[indigo prism]

Took me so long to change them out 😅

Okay brb as I swap them out

Which means eventually I'll have to switch the lancool fans out for other pink ones for aesthetic reasons

Is that gonna be a problem cause the 3rd picture only takes these lancool fans, it won't plug other ones

[earnest olive]

the included case fans use standardized connectors, so no

[indigo prism]

These cables won't connect to the pinkflow fans

Oh wait... the lancool fans won't plug into the others either

[earnest olive]

one is using 3 pin DC fan power

one is using 4 pin PWM fan power

both are widespread standards, just different standards

[indigo prism]

Ok so it won't be a problem perfect

[earnest olive]

3-pin DC can be plugged into 4-pin PWM header

they are generally cross compatible

[desert gulch]

yea

im doing that rn

[indigo prism]

Ugh why is this so overwhelming

[earnest olive]

it would be a problem if they weren't considering all headers are PWM

you can just plug a 3-pin DC fan power into the header it won't be a problem

[potent portal]

It's the RGB adding 6-7 cables that you now have to figure out where they go and manage them. It wasn't this bad before.

[earnest olive]

but muh pretty lights

[potent portal]

https://tenor.com/view/at-what-price-anthony-mackie-takeshi-kovacs-altered-carbon-at-what-cost-gif-17621993

[indigo prism]

I'm trying to decide if I should get sleep or do this stuff now cause damn I'm gonna be tired at work tomorrow 😅

[potent portal]

Just sleep now, it's best to work on these things with a clear head anyway.

[indigo prism]

That is fair. Thank you both and ISP for your help. I think sadly the next time I'll be able to work on this is Monday 😅😭

[potent portal]

I didn't really do much but glance at the convo once in a while but you're welcome 😅

[indigo prism]

i mean still what you added was helpful!

[potent portal]

Sips deserves most of the credit here still

[earnest olive]

good night and good luck

[indigo prism]

For sure!

Dinner is still on me when I get this damn thing 😅

[earnest olive]

don't worry about that lol it was a joke

[zinc otter]

About to plug in my my psu and turn on my pc for the first time. Anyone suggest I double check any specific things first?

[earnest olive]

just turn it on

no point troubleshooting before you even try turning it on

fix problems if they exist

[zinc otter]

Alright

[little osprey]

anyone still up??

[ancient wraith]

Is it ok to leave my monitors or idle or sleep while my pc is off

Cause I've seen peoples monitors get like burn in

[silent venture]

Any one can help me?

I turn on my pc but no display signal

[ancient wraith]

Bad cable

Try a new cable and a different monitor

[silent venture]

I dont have 😐

[ancient wraith]

A TV even

[silent venture]

My camera is bad

I can turn it on with hdmi

[ancient wraith]

What

[subtle halo]

it works in hdmi?

[silent venture]

Hdmi cable

No im going to try it

[subtle halo]

try it

[silent venture]

Put display port out?

[subtle halo]

yeah

[silent venture]

Yeah it booted

@subtle halo

[ancient wraith]

Nice

[silent venture]

What is this

?

@subtle halo

[ancient wraith]

No boot device

Do you have windows on a drive o

[silent venture]

Its a pre built tho

[ancient wraith]

Oh

[silent venture]

I think i should call them

Display port isnt working too

Too

[ancient wraith]

Only h

[silent venture]

Yeah

[ancient wraith]

Hdmi only works

Wow

[silent venture]

I think coz it doesnt have windows

[ancient wraith]

Yah you might have too install it

Do you have a USB drive

[silent venture]

How?

Yeah

Can i download it on pc

?

[ancient wraith]

You might want to tomie to help

I'm not the brightest fella

But you do need like a laptop or something too download it from

[silent venture]

Oh i sell my laptop . I think the problem is the driver

In my case

[ancient wraith]

Ur drive?

[frank stirrup]

Nah its not the driver

Its a bad card

[silent venture]

😐

Its palit

[ancient wraith]

My neighbors house burnt down this morning lol

[silent venture]

[silent venture]

Its not bad at all

[ancient wraith]

Like broken

[silent venture]

Its the driver

[ancient wraith]

Umm

I don't think

So

Reseat the card

[silent venture]

Im calling the pre built company

Im in the line

[ancient wraith]

Ok

[silent venture]

I can brake it.

[ancient wraith]

Sounds like it broken already

[silent venture]

With hdmi it booted up

I think the problem is display cable.

Thats broken i think

The pins

Or the monitor

[subtle halo]

dp is sensetive than hdmi

cheap cable often break

find a vesa certified dp cable @silent venture

[silent venture]

It was with monitor.

Im going to buy one

[silent venture]

Can you send me some?

The pre built company said it doesnt have a windows

[frank stirrup]

nope

[silent venture]

.

[frank stirrup]

No drivers are loaded if windows isnt installed

[silent venture]

Yeah

[frank stirrup]

and DP still gives output if no OS

hence not drivers

[silent venture]

Yes

They said

Thx

[frank stirrup]

either cable or gpu ports

[silent venture]

Only hdmi works

[frank stirrup]

hence either gpu or dead ports

[jagged ember]

Try a different dp cable

[silent venture]

I have to install the drivers

[ancient wraith]

I've seen them break in shipping

Gpus

[silent venture]

AFTER installing windows

[silent venture]

Every things will be fine when i install windows maybe

[jagged ember]

Yeah do that

[frank stirrup]

Its not the drivers

If it was the drivers HDMI wouldnt work either

[silent venture]

Need a bootable usb drive but i dont have any other pc or laptop

[jagged ember]

Get a friend

[ancient wraith]

How would he have drivers and no windows

[silent venture]

Yeah i have tooo

[jagged ember]

Get a bootable drive with windows installer from them

[silent venture]

I have to install them too

[silent venture]

Them?

[jagged ember]

You install windows and the drivers

[jagged ember]

Friends

[silent venture]

Aha

Yes

I will

Thx all of you.

[frank stirrup]

Ok so Arash answer this OK.

You have no drivers right?

like absolutely no drivers

correct?

[silent venture]

I have a usb driver but dont have another pc or laptop

[jagged ember]

So you don't have windows on your pc?

[frank stirrup]

Ok I give up

[silent venture]

Yes

[silent venture]

[frank stirrup]

I would return the card

[jagged ember]

Well then if the dp port has no displat

I'd try a different cable

[frank stirrup]

its obviously damaged if hdmi works but DP doesnt

[silent venture]

If it wouldnt work i will

[jagged ember]

Then rma the gpu if other dp cable doesn't work either

[silent venture]

Good point

[jagged ember]

Cause by then it's likely the port is broke

[silent venture]

Yeah

Thx

[frank stirrup]

Thats what ive been saying from the start smh

[clear hollow]

Hi will the GIGABYTE B550 AORUS Elite Motherboard support Nzxt X73 cooler ? i have an AMD 9 3900x

[frank stirrup]

It will but thats a bad cooler.

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/2PFKHx/arctic-liquid-freezer-ii-360-563-cfm-liquid-cpu-cooler-acfre00068a

that one is WAY better

[steep basalt]

I am doing a workstation build. Do I need a workstation card for it, or can I get by with my 5700 XT?

[fossil cedar]

Depends if you do gpu intensive workloads but it's a pretty decent gpu so I'd say yeah

[little osprey]

Amd doesn't lock down their cards for workstation tasks like Nvidia does
Your 5700xt will be fine

[steep basalt]

ok thanks

[muted patio]

I mean, 3000 series def isn't locked down. SPanking AMD left and right in workstation tasks

[fossil cedar]

Nvidia doesn't lock their cards for workstation stuff either just quadros are workstation optimised instead of gaming

[little osprey]

It isn't a lot of things but there are things that Nvidia does to lock down their gaming cards to try to make you buy a quadro
Its mostly benign stuff for most people to be sure, so it isn't really a big deal to most people. But like, for instance, if you run a VM on an Nvidia gaming card you can't give the virtual system direct hardware access, which introduces latency and effects system stability

For 99 percent of people it doesn't matter in the slightest. But for that 1% and for businesses it can be the difference between a system working or not

[muted patio]

nVidia did recently enable GPU Passthrough from Linux to a Windows VM. But yeah, SR-IOV still isn't supported on the mainstream cards.

[little osprey]

@muted patio I'm glad you came and confirmed. After I typed it out I started doubting my recollection and thinking "wait, was that intel xeon?"

[muted patio]

I didn't know they locked it down like that

That's kinda poopy :/

Although

AMD does the same thing

SR-IOV isn't enabled on the consumer cards like 5700XT

[meager badge]

You good? Fever gone?

[muted patio]

Fever was gone yesterday

benadryl type head fog though

[meager badge]

Excellent. Now find me a 3060 ti at MSRP price that delivers to Romania. You have no more excuses.

Auch, so you had like an allergic reaction

[muted patio]

Mmmm, not really allergic

More like a fantastic immune response

[ancient frost]

hello

[meager badge]

My grandma is 95, had zero reactions after both shots. I am 40 and after the first, my hand hurt, after the second, I had fever for a day :))

[ancient frost]

oh

sorry to hear that

[meager badge]

DOn't worry, it's just ironic 😄 I was supposed to be the healthy one 😛

[ancient frost]

i had loads of headaches

[muted patio]

I'm also confirming that AMD doesn't support SR-IOV on their consumer grade cards either. Looks like FirePro, etc for them only as well.

[meager badge]

And I suppose you aren't 95 either 😄

[muted patio]

Everyone is different

[ancient frost]

nope LOLOL

[muted patio]

My wife just had a headache after hers

[ancient frost]

im 13 LOL

[meager badge]

Hell you have a few years until 95 😄

Or until wife 😛 Husband

[ancient frost]

and only had loads of sensitive headaches

[frank stirrup]

Im not supposed to get the vaccine for a few more months

[meager badge]

Here everybody can get it. Even the kids from next 2 weeks. You don't even need an appointment anymore.

And you can see that in figures.

Radical change, no more masks in public.

[frank stirrup]

Nah I had the covid a few weeks back so apparently i still have antibodies and hence no vaccine for me

So like im not allowed to take it

[meager badge]

That's another thing then 😄

[silent venture]

Guys im intalling windows. Is it good to install it on hard drive or ssd? coz my ssd is 256.

[obsidian wigeon]

Do it in ssd

256 gigs isn't super tiny lol

[silent venture]

You sure?

[obsidian wigeon]

Running windows on HDDs is nightmare

[silent venture]

Ok

[obsidian wigeon]

Yes, I even daily with win 10 on 120 gigs ssd

[silent venture]

Thx

[meager badge]

A thing that I didn't know is that SSDs are unlike classic drives, so the bigger the SSD, the faster usually, I mean the same models. Like the 256 Samsung 980 pro is slower than the 1tb 2b versions, etc.

And for the OS speed is great.

And if you auto save every x minutes for games like Skyrim, if you access the drive continuously, etc.

[lapis rune]

Doesn’t matter which side I use for the motherboard and hdd right?

[muted patio]

nope

[lapis rune]

So my hdd looks like this now do I need something for the 4 pin?

[muted patio]

nope

Just power and data

[full atlas]

[potent portal]

The 4 pins there are just jumpers, only used in extremely rare cases

[spiral flame]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/2NVGTJ how can I improve this list

[muted patio]

3070 only needs 650W at most, swap out the Enermax for a Phanteks AMP 650 on sale for $85. Spend another $5 on the NVME and snag a Mushkin Pilot E 1 TB, then send it.

[spiral flame]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/fp9w2V

[muted patio]

OH wow Pilot E is even cheaper nice!

I'd full send that and enjoy it.

[spiral flame]

would it work if I tried to get a 3070 ti on release date?

[muted patio]

Don't see why not. 3070 is only a ~220W card

So even if the 3070TI were 300W you'd still be just fine

[spiral flame]

cool thanks

[muted patio]

YW

[meager badge]

You even have a GPU 😿

[spiral flame]

no it is just on my list

[full atlas]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/cwM4fP how does this look? (Case will be run no front panel)

[muted patio]

Everything is already purchased lol

[meager badge]

PPP needs to add an option for GPUs "Praying".

[lapis rune]

Does this look normal I feel like I have a lot less cables than other people

[muted patio]

Seems OK as long as everything plugs in

I don't see any RGB so that reduces the number of cables quite a bit XD

[spiral flame]

is this zen ryzen a better option then intell?

[muted patio]

Raw performance wise, yes

Price to performance wise, probably not

[tribal mantle]

Everyone's builds are beautiful 🥺

[muted patio]

Now let your ocd run wild LOL!!

[full atlas]

The crucial ssd + red cable😑

[muted patio]

Shhhhh

It's gone now TBH

I put the Crucial in a laptop I have

Just haven't taken a new pic

[full atlas]

I honestly don’t care that much about the crucial ssd, but the red cable is a more preventable thing

[muted patio]

Ah

but

[full atlas]

I literally just sharpie my red sata cables black Bc my brain makes me😩

[muted patio]

What red cable XD

[spiral flame]

what are the specs on the other side?

[full atlas]

Oh nice

[meager badge]

Neato!

[spiral flame]

that is clean

[full atlas]

Clc pog

[muted patio]

TY

Ok, I digress, you can just see a sliver of it there

But seriously, it's all gone now

I removed the cable and the drive and put it in another machine

[spiral flame]

what gpu is that

[muted patio]

3070 XC3 ultra

[spiral flame]

nice

how?

[muted patio]

january 5th Best Buy Drop

The luck of the Gods.

IDK

[spiral flame]

god loves you lol

[muted patio]

Someone did that day

I waited on the webpage with Please Wait showing for 40 minutes

So glad I didn't give up or refresh the page

[spiral flame]

yeah

[muted patio]

I actaully had that one and an FE going in separate tabs

FE sold out

[spiral flame]

I sadly only now learned about the Newegg suffle

[lapis rune]

Came with gpu what’s it for?

[muted patio]

Converting MOlex power to GPU power

Don't use it

[spiral flame]

what cpu?

[muted patio]

3700x

Had that since it's launch day

[spiral flame]

what was your last gpu

[muted patio]

RTX2060

I think the project for this winter will be a custom water loop

[spiral flame]

how much did you get for it

[muted patio]

$500

almost paid for the 3070

I got the last batch of MSRP GPU's

Before the Tariff hit

[spiral flame]

do you mine when you aren't on your pc?

[muted patio]

yes

[spiral flame]

that since January probably payed for you computer

didnt it

[muted patio]

Oh no

Not even close XD

[spiral flame]

no what do you use to mine?

[muted patio]

The 3070

[spiral flame]

nah program like Nicehash

[muted patio]

Oh

Trex

Trex for nVidia

Phoenix for AMD

I also upgrade my PC in cycles so I don't do the whole thing all at once

Next year will be AM5 or Intel Alder lake, whichever is better

[spiral flame]

I can't do that with my prebuild nothing is standered

[muted patio]

yeah some prebuilts are that way

NOt all of them tho

[spiral flame]

yeah

what do you use your pc for?

[muted patio]

Gaming mostly

Rendering GoPro vids from racing

Media storage/server

etc

[lapis rune]

Isn’t it suppose to align :/

[spiral flame]

is you pfp you?

[muted patio]

What is supposed to align?

Oh, put the GPU in

It'll make sense

😉

[muted patio]

Yes

[spiral flame]

cool

what games do you play?

[lapis rune]

Ok I finally got it in do I leave the brackets out and just screw it in?

[muted patio]

Yep

[lapis rune]

There’s a little gap here and the screws with the bracket can’t go through all the way

[muted patio]

That means it's not seated all the way

There are tabs on the other end of that plate on the GPU

Those need to go further in

I have seen them bent from the factory before so might be worth checking

They should slot in between the edge of the motherboard and the case

[lapis rune]

Yep you were right

The thingy didn’t lock in before

It’s so hard to put these gpu cables in with it separate

[frank stirrup]

with what separate?

[lapis rune]

And the pins are all the way inside

[potent portal]

I'm planning on doing a custom(ish) loop sometime soon. I just need a new case and then I need to figure out how to adapt the fittings on my GPU block, possibly the CPU block. The pumps are already in the blocks, I might even just use those. Get a reservoir and better rads/tubes/fittings... It'd be a fun project.

[potent portal]

You can try using electrical tape wrapped around the upper part of the connector to hold it in place while you insert it.

[lapis rune]

I don’t know if I have that would regular ones work?
@potent portal

[potent portal]

Regular tape? Sure it could work but it won't be electrically resistant so cut it off when you're done

[raw crane]

My pc immediately shuts off when I turn it on

It won’t post

Ummmm ITS SAYINT MY CPU IS AT 100 DEGREES CELSUUUS

[potent portal]

Uhh that could be it lol

CPU cooler remount

[marble whale]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/RqbRPV

is this a good list?

[raw crane]

Wiat what do I do idk if my cpu cooler is providing water

: f

[muted patio]

Did you take the plastic film off the water block?

[raw crane]

I cry

Yes

My pc was working normally for a while

Have normal temps

All of the sudden?

[potent portal]

Go for CL16 memory instead of CL18 and I'd get a nvme drive instead of sata
Other than that looks ok. Guessing you're doing a 5900X and 3090 or something with that power supply.

[marble whale]

is the cooler getting power?

[raw crane]

Yes

I turned off and on my power supply

You think it might be because of my overcooking?

Over clocking

Pls it’s at 100 degrees and idk what to do 😢

[marble whale]

maybe

[fossil cedar]

Get ballistix 3600cl16 instead way better than corsair cl18

[lapis rune]

Tape worked 😄

[snow wasp]

or a cl16 version of the same ram for approx $2.5 more expensive

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08PW4QZP2/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1

[marble whale]

witch one is sata?

[snow wasp]

the hard drive

[potent portal]

Both drives are sata

[snow wasp]

o yea

[potent portal]

I'd get nvme ssd, much faster

[snow wasp]

mb

[fossil cedar]

Ehhh ballistix ram is better and cheaper tho

[raw crane]

I touched my cpu and it’s hot

But it doesn’t feel like 100 degrees

Idk

[marble whale]

try a different cooler?

what CPU is it?

[raw crane]

I5 10600k

And I don’t have another cooler

[snow wasp]

yea ig but i got that one for the price of 114, ballistix is probably still cheaper idk

and i somehow got 2 packs shipped to me

so 32 gb for the price of 114

[potent portal]

Get this instead of the MX500

[fossil cedar]

Well that was clearly a once off mistake lol

[snow wasp]

yea i got lucky lol

probably cuz i ordered and cancelled it and reordered

[fossil cedar]

Mb

But corsair kinda picks out of a hat what kind of ram die they gonna use lol

At least ballistix you know you getting rev e

[snow wasp]

i got micron e die i think last time i checked

[marble whale]

do they have a hdd nvme?

[potent portal]

Doesn't exist

[marble whale]

ok

what hdd do i get for 1TB

[potent portal]

HDD isn't going to use the full potential of SATA anyway, but SSD will definitely benefit from faster interface

[raw crane]

Okayyy i remounted my cpu cooler

Still saying high temperatures?

[marble whale]

whats the cooler brand?

[snow wasp]

just a reminder, u got the thermal paste right?

[potent portal]

I'd get this instead of 1TB. It's 2TB for only a few dollars more.

[raw crane]

Yes Ofc lol

[snow wasp]

lmao

[raw crane]

It’s saying a mix between VGA and Boot

The light switches

No, it says DRAM

Not boot

So VGA and Dram

[marble whale]

what's the cooler brand?

[raw crane]

Lian li

[marble whale]

air or aoi?

[potent portal]

Pump may have died if it was working before. Is there noise coming from the CPU block where the pump usually is?

[marble whale]

air or aio?

[fossil cedar]

Lucky you 👀

[raw crane]

Sounds like it tbh

Aio

[snow wasp]

[fossil cedar]

My Corsair lpx is samsung c die :/ but think their rgb ran is a bit better die choice

[raw crane]

I’m just gonna give it time to cool

[marble whale]

did you just buy it?

[potent portal]

It often is a better die with RGB, the one thing that actually does benefit from RGB

[marble whale]

if so, you can return it.

[potent portal]

Too bad the LEDs can heat up the memory reducing OC headroom

[snow wasp]

yea people has told me that the die they use can be very different

[snow wasp]

yea but i think 3600 cl16 is enough for most people

[raw crane]

I built it myself like 2 months ago

I built it myself 😬

And it was working fine

[marble whale]

ok had any problems sense then?

[raw crane]

But I’m agreeing with Fal and saying something must’ve died

Nope

Just with the over heating cpu

Not POG

[muted patio]

if it's not booting though how are you getting the CPU temp?

[raw crane]

I got a warning before it shut off

[muted patio]

Ohhh

Understood

[marble whale]

[potent portal]

True, most people don't try to push things as far as they can go like me

[marble whale]

try this it might help.

[raw crane]

And it posted like 1 time to go into the BIOS and then it didn’t post after that

Wack

[muted patio]

What motherboard?

[meager badge]

Most people don't push at all 😛

[raw crane]

MSI Z490 a pro

[fossil cedar]

Well that's ironic lol

[fossil cedar]

What about us tinkerers ;-;

[raw crane]

Thank you, I’ll read into that rn

[potent portal]

We get the 4000+ memory usually so we're guaranteed good dies

[marble whale]

try connecting it straight to the power unit.

[muted patio]

First thing I notice is that the AIO isn't plugged into the PUMP_FAN header

[raw crane]

😳

[fossil cedar]

True lol, when i was buying my lpx back in October i wish i thought about ram dies but wasn't really a concept to me at the time, i mean i have a 3600 anyway so it would probs not clock to 1900 fclk anyway i suppose

[snow wasp]

u know a guide that i can follow to maybe oc my ram to cl14? or is that gonna be too much work lol

also would it yield much benefit if i do so?

[muted patio]

I grabbed a Galahad manual, that's what you have yeah? Was the purpose of the ram reseat and CPU cooler remount to fix a heat issue or was there another reason?

[raw crane]

HEat issue

[fossil cedar]

Ehh if you don't mind clearing cmos and running ram stress tests its easy enough but time consuming and a lot of trial and error

[meager badge]

RAM tests take ages

[muted patio]

So the heat issue was present before the mucking about with RAM and CPU cooler? Good chance the pump has died then, it still may be worth switching the AIO pump connection to the AIO pump header though. Slight chance the other header burned out.

[lapis rune]

Making the straps right in the wires won’t dmg them right?

[fossil cedar]

Depends if you can get it to cl14 but if you want an improvement in frames in cpu based games afaik it would help

[muted patio]

The other option for you and one that I recommend to be sure the pump receives full power is to use the SATA power adapter that came with the Galahad for the AIO pump

[lapis rune]

Tight

[snow wasp]

im probably fine with what i got then lol

[muted patio]

It's part L in this picture.

[potent portal]

Check the pins in #overclocking

[snow wasp]

ight thanks

[fossil cedar]

Most people are lol

[raw crane]

Thank you so much

[muted patio]

Worth a shot anyway

If that doesn't work, good chance the AIO pump is defective

[meager badge]

Or it's time to take it to a professional 😄 That's the final step for me 😛

[lapis rune]

I think I’m almost done

If I turn on my pc is there any risk if I missed something?

[frank stirrup]

nope

[little osprey]

lol just finished a build, pc turns on wont go to BIOS and the power button doesn't shut if off lmao

what a great day lol

[meager badge]

Try to find a good professional and let him do it if it doesn't work. If possible ask to be present.

[little osprey]

Is this a good CPU For gaming, streaming, & photo/video editing with Adobe products?

[frank stirrup]

what are you paying for it

[full atlas]

How much should I give my friend for his 970 fe?

[fossil cedar]

No it's overpriced usually, check 10700 instead

[full atlas]

So like 70-100$?

[little osprey]

Mind sending the link?

[full atlas]

Bc before all this crap I would’ve payed 70$

He doesn’t know crap about PCs

If I told him it was worth 50$, he would sell it to me for 50$

[stoic island]

MSRP for 970 is like 300$

[full atlas]

Which is way too much lol

I think I’ll give my friend like 70-80$ maybe

[stoic island]

It's a question of how bad a person you want to be

In this market, 970 can fetch like 400$

[full atlas]

I want to pay a fair pre crazy price.

[stoic island]

Pre crazy price is 200$

Or so

[full atlas]

No not really where I live at least

[stoic island]

Yes, 170-180 was very common for 970s pre-pandemic

[full atlas]

Pre crazy was like 70-120$ typically where I live

[stoic island]

Then people where you live is either crazy or you're off by a hundred

:p

70-120$ 970 would be just crazy imo

[still roost]

Kirbo/MikuSImp (he/him)#4377 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[desert gulch]

Lol no f word

[ancient wraith]

how do i control i fans rpm with a fan hub

[fossil cedar]

Use pcpartpicker.com to find the cheapest price for it

[desert gulch]

1. Plug fan hub into a fan port on the Mobo
2. Go into bios and set the rpm curve for it

[ancient wraith]

can i uses my mobos software

mine i think is siv

[muted patio]

Yes

[desert gulch]

If that works for you

Bios easier imo tho

[muted patio]

if the hub is plugged into the motherboard

[ancient wraith]

ojk

ok

[fossil cedar]

Looks good apart from the overpriced psu, get a phanteks amp or enermax revolution df instead

[muted patio]

Why are you paying $140 for an EVGA psu when the Enermax 850W is $115

XD

[fossil cedar]

Enermax revolution is literally better and you can get the 850w and still save like 15$

[muted patio]

Oh, sale

meh

[fossil cedar]

Whatcha mean meh?

[muted patio]

The G1 is on sale

$100

it's meh

[fossil cedar]

Ohh

[muted patio]

I think it's only a Memorial day sale too

[fossil cedar]

G1 is only b tier anyway

Phanteks amp 750w atm is same price iirc

[raw crane]

Is it normal for your cpu to reach 100 degrees when playing a game?

[fossil cedar]

No

[raw crane]

Welp

[muted patio]

no

[raw crane]

Then it’s a lost cause

When I play a game it reaches 100

[fossil cedar]

Probs a bad mount with the cooler

[muted patio]

What does it idle at tho?

[raw crane]

I remounted it

Around 48 degrees

[fossil cedar]

Did you repaste?

[raw crane]

Yes

[muted patio]

That's better than turning it on and having it reach 100 degrees doing nothing

[fossil cedar]

What cpu what cooler?

[raw crane]

Ik but how do I fix the gaming 100 degrees

Lian li cpu cooler

[muted patio]

Lian Li galahad

[raw crane]

^

[muted patio]

So you connected it to SATA power and it cooled off at least?

a little bit?

[raw crane]

Yes

Works better

[fossil cedar]

Yeah that's a rip

[muted patio]

What CPU?

[raw crane]

I510600k

[fossil cedar]

Galahad should not have prob with that rip

Rma time most likely

[muted patio]

yeah, I think the pump is bad

Original problem was 100C at idle

Full SATA power helped

but I think pump just gave up

[raw crane]

Okay, new pump soon then, thank you

I’ll probably get a nzxt

Or just a good white aiocooler

[muted patio]

Mmmm

NZXT looks good but doesn't cool the best

For the money anyway

[fossil cedar]

I would just try yojr the look again with galahad or get arctic or ek

[muted patio]

This is the 2nd or 3rd Galahad I've seen here recently with a bad pump

Phanteks Glacier is white but can't find a lot of testing on it

[lapis rune]

You guys think this plastic thing will melt?

It’s so the cables don’t touch the motherboard

[muted patio]

No

[lapis rune]

Should I use hdmi or display port?

[muted patio]

dp

[mystic needle]

can an nvme m.2 be placed anywhere on the motherboard?

[muted patio]

Depends on the board

[mystic needle]

ooh

[muted patio]

Some have sata only M.2 slots, some are NVME and SATA

Gotta check the manual

And some newer Intel boards with 10th gen CPU's disable one slot

so..... XD

[mystic needle]

b r u h

well it’s okay i have amd B-)

[muted patio]

B550? X570?

[mystic needle]

it shows me two options here

[muted patio]

what board isit

[mystic needle]

b550 this is the website

[muted patio]

B550 what

[mystic needle]

asrock b550 taichi

‼️

and i have a teamgroup nvme 1Tb ssd like it shows there

[muted patio]

Doesn't matter which slot

[hallow zinc]

do you need to have a gpu to use your pc to do regular schoolwork?

[muted patio]

Need some kind of video out if your CPU has no integrated graphics, yes

[hallow zinc]

does a ryzen 5 5600x have integrated graphics?

[muted patio]

It does not

You will need a graphics card to use with that

[hallow zinc]

sigh its gonna be a long wait

[muted patio]

Doesn't need to be anything fancy if not gaming

[hallow zinc]

any recomendations

[muted patio]

Anything you can find within your price range. The market is so weird right now everything goes out the window. Maybe find something on r /hardwareswap?

[stoic island]

Also, something like a 11500 could be worth a look

[hallow zinc]

thanks for the info!!

[muted patio]

Yeah if the parts haven't been purchased yet INtel is a viable option

[stoic island]

(11500 is an Intel chip that comes with a usable iGPU)

[hallow zinc]

lol already built the pc without knowing that i couldnt use it without a gpu

[muted patio]

Ah

well

Can you return any of it?

Because your warranty and return period are ticking until you get a GPU

[hallow zinc]

probably could return the mobo not to sure about the cpu

any recommendations for cpu similar to the ryzen 5600x?

[muted patio]

Not unless Intel :/

AMD's integrated CPU offerings are pretty weak

[hallow zinc]

i meant for intel

[muted patio]

11500

[hallow zinc]

apparently i could return the cpu as well

[muted patio]

11500 CPU/B560 motherboard

use the same ram and everything else

Might want a better cooler than stock Intel tho

[lapis rune]

How to click ok?

[hallow zinc]

currently have a corsair h150i elire cappelix

[muted patio]

That'll do

[muted patio]

it's a button on your monitor

Probably the menu button or checkmark button or something

[lapis rune]

Hmm I still get no signal did I do something wrong?

Everything seems to be working except the front rgb panel

[clever vigil]

hey i need some help picking some parts for a pc 1500

[stable cypress]

vintageRacer79#53 help?

@muted patio?

[ancient wraith]

I cant get my fan hub to work

I connected it too sata power and the pwm came to my mobo but my fans won't work

The light isn't even lighting up on the fan hub

[mystic needle]

my sata power from my psu has multiple connectors, am i able to connect multiple things including my ssd and hdd?

[sand falcon]

Yup

[lapis rune]

Which one should I click?

[muted patio]

To do what?

[lapis rune]

Don’t I click one of these to get into windows?

[clear hollow]

which is the best motherboard for Ryzen 9 3900x? i;m currently using B550

[muted patio]

B550 is just fine

No real reason to upgrade to be honest

UNless it's a low end B550

[meager nacelle]

Does anyone know if PCI express cards are better than Motherboards with WIFI?

[muted patio]

NOt really

This is my MB wifi

On the second floor

[lapis rune]

Thanks for the help everyone I got my pc running

[stoic island]

Just to keep in mind, most pcie wifi cards are just m.2 key e wifi cards strapped onto a PCB with a PCIe connector, and most motherboards with wifi have that capability via a m.2 key e wifi card under the io heatsink

[odd crypt]

What is a good gpu that dont cost a bitcoin?

[scenic turret]

They're practically the same

Like I swear PCIe wifi cards are the same thing on mobos

[odd crypt]

Well something that goes with 10100

[meager nacelle]

Alright, so which ever i prefer works?

[stoic island]

As long as the m.2 chip is decent

[scenic turret]

Yep

[odd crypt]

.

[urban trellis]

gt 1030

[odd crypt]

Wdym

[rotund quest]

Alright so I need some help/ I just upgraded from a 3700x to a 5800x I am using an asus x570 prime pro mobo with 32gb 3200 trident z ram and I forgot to upgrade the bios before installing the new gear.

My issue is that it wont post. I just get no signal on monitor but all my led/rgb lights up no dram light on mobo tried clearing cmos via battery and ctrlcr switch and nothing is working

[odd crypt]

How much?

[urban trellis]

about 100 usd

[odd crypt]

Link

[urban trellis]

unless its also at scalper prices lol

[odd crypt]

And will it go good with i3 10100

[urban trellis]

yep

bruh idk where u live just find it

by searching up gt 1030

[odd crypt]

I did

173

For I think 2 gigs

[urban trellis]

u can prob find for 100

[odd crypt]

And I would like to play gta 5

[urban trellis]

yea make sure u have the gdd5 version the other one is rlly bad

[urban trellis]

prob 100+ fps at lowest settings

[odd crypt]

I want high

[urban trellis]

but not 100% sure

[odd crypt]

Like medium

[urban trellis]

idk I dont play much gta

[urban trellis]

but on my igpu I used to play low and got 40 fps

so prob 100+ on medium

[odd crypt]

Hm

[urban trellis]

I think it will do fine

[rich helm]

Do you still have the 3700x?

[odd crypt]

Anything a tad bit better

[rotund quest]

Yes, i put it back in, still no post 😦 currently sitting on an empty ssd as well so no windows or anything

[odd crypt]

@urban trellis

[rotund quest]

added a new m.2 to replace my old 2.5' went from 250gb to 2tb

[urban trellis]

gtx 1050 ti or gtx 1060

or you can wait for rtx 3050

[rich helm]

Which debug lights light up

[urban trellis]

is everything plugged in preoperly make sure it is

[odd crypt]

@urban trellis please dm me the links to em

I'm us

[rich helm]

google.com

[odd crypt]

Ik

[rotund quest]

The dram at first after clearing cmos none are popping on.

[rich helm]

Try reseating ram,

[rotund quest]

Which is what confuses me the most because i've done at least 20 builds never had an issue like this

[urban trellis]

I mean try ebay other things r usually scalper prices

on ebay you might find a a cheap one

[odd crypt]

K

[stoic island]

Try reseat cpu

[urban trellis]

but I suggest a gt 1030

[odd crypt]

I might go with a gt 1030

[rich helm]

Hmm does your board have bios flashback btw

[rotund quest]

Its the asus x570 prime pro i don't think it does i'm checking the site right now

[urban trellis]

with simple tweaks you can get 144 fps+

[rich helm]

Hmm yeah most x570 don’t have it. It would be with the io

[stoic island]

Also, try only single stick in slot 2

[rich helm]

^

[urban trellis]

yea and swap out if one doesnt work

[rotund quest]

Single stick slot 2? Ok I have 4 of them lol so this will take me a bit. Thank you guys very much by the way ❤️

[urban trellis]

lol 4 sticks

[stoic island]

And reseat cpu if nothing

[urban trellis]

wait how do u reset cpu without a post

[stoic island]

Extra reset cmos also doesn't hurt

[stoic island]

Read it again

[urban trellis]

oh lol mb

[rich helm]

I know You said you have done many builds, but you have monitor cable plugged into gpu right? Just wanted to make sure

[rotund quest]

Yes lol

[urban trellis]

and make sure all of the cables r plugged in properly

[rotund quest]

ok so after reaseating, the dram debug is now blinking

wasn't doing that before but this is with only 1 slot in

[odd crypt]

I cant find crap of off Ebay

Literally all like 200 or 300

[urban trellis]

yea then i just suggest a gt 1030

it should get the job done and then just wait for the rtx 3050 or rtx 3060 to come bk in stock

[odd crypt]

That wont fit in my budget

Its 600$

[urban trellis]

a gt 1030?

nah im saying wait for a 3060 or 3050 to be in stock

[odd crypt]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/

A bit over

[rotund quest]

I reseated it, tried each ram stick nothing 😦 idk what to do might have to take it to a local shop or something cuz this is baffling me

[urban trellis]

oh ok a 3050 will prob be 200 dollars but im not sure

[odd crypt]

Wth

[urban trellis]

Try taking gpu out

[odd crypt]

How

[rotund quest]

Did that

[urban trellis]

I mean you can try taking out cmos and then trying to boot

without cmos

[stoic island]

What about reseat cpu >:p

[rotund quest]

To clarify, I tried clearing cmos and booting Without the gpu and ssd. without the batter in. tried with both cpus and each time nothing

i'm stumped

[stoic island]

Maybe it's as simple as a missed cable somewhere

[rotund quest]

hopefully let me look over it again

[stoic island]

Maybe eps12v isn't fully plugged in

[rotund quest]

I just checked everyhing on the mobo let me open up the back panel

[urban trellis]

yea try unplugging cables and plugging them back in

when I built my pc my power cable wasnt in so i was worried

that I messed up

[odd crypt]

Do they actually?

And when is the restock

[urban trellis]

No its not released yet but there is a rumor that there will be one

and the 3060 is 300 dollars so it prob will be 200 and 3050 ti will prob be 250

[odd crypt]

Hm

[urban trellis]

Alr i gtg now cya

[stoic island]

3060 is 330$ MSRP

And until the 3050ti releases, we won't know

[odd crypt]

Wait could u help @stoic island

[stoic island]

Wat

[odd crypt]

Find a good gpu that fits inside my 600$ budget

[stoic island]

Not happening atm

[desert gulch]

Like gpus for 600 or whole of for 600

[odd crypt]

Would you have like a time when it could?

I'll just wait till near Christmas

[desert gulch]

Lol nah

It won't be over by then

Not even close

[odd crypt]

Time limit?

[desert gulch]

Uhh I'd say Q3 2022 at the earliest we see gPus prices back to somewhat normal

[stoic island]

Who knows

We can't reliably predict the future

[rotund quest]

Ugh still nothing I'm going to go at it tomorrow thank you for the help everyone

Worst case dynamite fixes all 🤣

[desert gulch]

Would you say Q3 2022 is a fair guess?

On the early side?

[stoic island]

Dunno

I'd put it on like 2025 when fabs are completed xD

[desert gulch]

Lol ye

[mystic needle]

why does my mobo have two cpu connectors?

and do i need to plug them both in? because i have cable extensions but only one for the cpu

[lyric thistle]

2x8pin?

overclocking

[mystic needle]

yes two 8pin

[lyric thistle]

yea for oc

[mystic needle]

ohhh okay okay

which do i plug it into?

the one on the left or right

[lyric thistle]

what does the label say on each slot

I'm guessing it doesn't matter but doesn't hurt to know for sure

[mystic needle]

OHHH atx12v1 and atx12v2

12v1 huh?

[clever vigil]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/pYZWqp are these good parts for a pc

[hearty pine]

Get 3600mhz

[clever vigil]

ok

[lyric thistle]

yup

[hearty pine]

Oh yeah and you can use the ll120

9 dollar cheaper on amazon

[clever vigil]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/nbYfz7 better

[clever vigil]

whats that

im not very good with pcs

[hearty pine]

Corsair fans

[clever vigil]

oh

[hearty pine]

You shouldnt really spend much on rgb

You could save money of you get the rgb version of the 4000

I think

Around 60 dollars

Thats 40 dollar less than the fans

You have on the list

I they dont have the loop but they’re basically the same

Your choice tbh

[snow wasp]

yea but 4000x has glass front panel

not sure how much that would increase temp by tho

[hearty pine]

I bet you could find cheaper fans on ebay

For the airflow

Version

[still roost]

sploosh#3963 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[snow wasp]

i mean hey if u got the money and if u want rgb fans that are ez to control i think its either uni fans of ll/ql120s

right?

[hearty pine]

I think

The case already has a controller

[clever vigil]

yea i mean the color shceme is black blue and purple

[hearty pine]

And 3 sp120 argb fans

[snow wasp]

but yea if ur ok with 4000x get it for the controller and 3 rgb fans ig

[hearty pine]

That case has a node core

[snow wasp]

that comes with the ql120

not sure about other corsair fans

[hearty pine]

You save 40 bucks though

U could invest that in a better motherboard

@clever vigil

[clever vigil]

ok\

[hearty pine]

Are you gonna upgrade in the future

[clever vigil]

yes

[hearty pine]

Then get a 750 watt

Pau

Psu

You have a 30 series so thats fune

Fine

And a new intel chip

Cou

Cou

Cpu

[clever vigil]

ok

[lyric thistle]

ok
