Compare it to the back of the case or how many screw holes it has
long rock
Should I pull the new board out?
jagged ember
Wha
long rock
I’m not going to
little osprey
Or search up ur current motherboard and see what size it is
little osprey
yaz so what computer case you have?
Yeah
marble gust
Or search up ur current motherboard and see what size it is
that helps too
long rock
It’s Micro ATX
This is not good
I hate myself
Last night was a mistake
Why did I do this
little osprey
And ur new one is full atx
jagged ember
If case doesn't support atx u need a new one
little osprey
Research
marble gust
Hold on. I asked you what computer case you have. You haven't responded to the question.
jagged ember
I spent months researching my pc lol
I was still not happy with it when it was built
Cause I learned more things
little osprey
Bought everything without look it
Compare,ask and research
marble gust
if your case is big enough and supports atx you be fine. Since we don't know.
little osprey
Wuts ur cases name or model
long rock
It’s an IBuyPower case
jagged ember
Specific
marble gust
You're answering like. I have a midside car. That too broad
jagged ember
Not general
long rock
Okey lemme poke around
little osprey
It’s an IBuyPower case
Model name
jagged ember
Brand and model name
little osprey
Brand and model name
Exactly!!
marble gust
🤦♂️
little osprey
xD
marble gust
if you have the paperwork for the PC it should tell you
long rock
There has to be a model somewhere
marble gust
Can u show me the whole front
true at least a manufacturer picture or icon
long rock
little osprey
It’s an ibuypower case but idk the model
long rock
Same
little osprey
How did u find this pic then
long rock
Best Buy a few years ago
marble gust
maybe do reverse search on photo
long rock
Not this exact spec, but that’s the case
It’s got more screw holes in the back which makes me think it’s gonna support something bigger
I’d be safe to bet it supports a bigger board
marble gust
cool
long rock
All that space under there
little osprey
I still can’t find the case model tho
little osprey
All that space under there
It might fit
Btw when u take the stuff out clean the inside
long rock
Alright so the current is 7.5 by 8, the new is 8.5 by 10
I hate myself
Why do I do these things
long rock
I might honestly
little osprey
Or just return the motherboard for a new one and maybe some faster memory
long rock
Alright so the motherboard appears like it will fit same width, just longer down the ends
vale epoch
Wut the duck 140watts in this thin of a laptop
long rock
So, I showered, I’m thinking about just sending it all back and starting over
I didn’t really like the RAM and board that much anyway
The CPU was overpriced, so yeah
The board may not have fit
I’m wanting to dress my setup up with lights and stuff. I think starting over with the components other than the GPU and power supply would be best
Okay so I’m on Newegg’s site, to ship and refund the CPU, what do I press? Refund or Replace?
I’m doing Refund, it should work
When I return it, I have choices on how to ship it back
Should I do my own method of shipment? Can anyone help?
long rock
Okey
pale dust
Should I do my own method of shipment? Can anyone help?
they should help you with that
usually you just get a label
its free but sometimes theres a restocking fee but they'll tell you
long rock
Alrighty I’m printing my label lol
pale dust
yeah
long rock
Cool, so now I need to tape it on the box
long rock
It says cut out the label and tape it to the shipping box
jagged ember
Yep
long rock
So, let’s do that
It’s like being in kindergarten
Cut and paste activity
I knew that would come in handy some day
😂
They really love screwing me over
First Best Buy a few years ago, paying 500 for the PC that should only cost about 300 maybe, now the CPU which should be about 200, but was closer to 300
Man this is fun
Okay so imma keep the rest, just ship the CPU back
And maybe look at cases
long rock
Okey
Alrighty so tommorow I have to drop that box off at the UPS store so it can go back and be sent to another unfortunate soul who paid too much

You don't really need 1tb boot drive tho

jagged ember
You already have a 2tb hdd
plain grove
You can get a 2tb hdd for like 50$

1TB actually
jagged ember

lyric thistle
it is supremely easy to avoid scams on ebay
jagged ember
Well, get a 500gb sn550/mp34 and a 2tb hdd

It’s the bots

Hey, build question here. I am going to make a sleeper in an old beige In-Win 508 case. I also got a mobo/cpu/ram bundle from that auction site. How bad will a 80mm intake/92mm exhaust setup with an I7-11700 non-k on a B560 mATX board using the stock Intel black cooler be heatwise? Should I replace the heatsink? Also, my GPU choice is limited to the IGP, an older RX 580 or a ginormous XFX thicc 3 RX 5600XT which I know will affect heat levels inside the case greatly. Bear in mind this case doesn't support liquid cooling and my ability to heavily mod is minimal, and that the rational choice of getting a modern case is far too easy. It may be dumb but I like the whole sleeper idea in this case....
humble rock
I want to upgrade my cpu but I’m torn between a 5800x or a 10850k any suggestions???
rustic flower
older cases tend to have side intakes
Yes, it has a large rectangular vent over the expansion slot area and a round vent with one of those extendable ducts on it roughly over the CPU.
earnest olive
Hey, build question here. I am going to make a sleeper in an old beige In-Win 50...
with an intel stock cooler on an i7-11700 you'll have a bad time even with a good case
just so you know, it can draw up to 224W at stock and most motherboards will allow it to sustain 224W or more by default (before it thermal throttles under that cooler)
rustic flower
with an intel stock cooler on an i7-11700 you'll have a bad time even with a goo...
Good to know!
lyric thistle
get a tower cooler that will fit
earnest olive
please consider a proper low profile cooler if that's all there is room for
lyric thistle
maybe a downdraft cooler instead
earnest olive
or a tower cooler if the case allows
lyric thistle
if the intakeis from the side a downdraft goes along with that
earnest olive
it's just vents, no fan mounts
rustic flower
Right now I have the case, and can mock up parts. I will look for something beefy enough to get close to that temp Orange mentioned. Thanks!
rustic flower
yup, that's the one.
earnest olive
i upgraded an older office pc for a customer
his case had that cylinder thing and he had an intel stock cooler on his i5-4670
upgraded him to a 10400 and removed the cylinder so i could put an id-cooling se-224-xt tower cooler on it
btw, i hope you are planning to replace the power supply
earnest olive
the power supply included with this case is weak enough to shut down or possibly be a fire hazard even if you have no dgpu
ah
alright, you're fine then
lyric thistle
I'm gonna use the psu included in my case
earnest olive
these are some seriously pathetic psu specs
rustic flower
I have a PC Power and Cooling Silencer III 750 watt psu ready.
lyric thistle
it's a c tier seasonic 350w unit
earnest olive
not even 80+ white certification, 12V rail is rated to 204W
which is below the stock power draw of the i7-11700
you can really tell it's from 2004 lol
rustic flower
yeah, the Power Man is probably not ideal.
earnest olive
poor power man
rustic flower
Not gonna use it, didn't get it. 😄
earnest olive
i'm having trouble finding the cooler clearance for this case
i suspect that was less of a consideration in 2004
rustic flower
it doesn't say.
earnest olive
think you will just have to measure it yourself
the depth of the entire case is 197mm
and it doesn't have any back area for cable routing
earnest olive
so i'm going to say cooler clearance is likely going to be above 170mm which is fantastic
lyric thistle
cable nanage 😳 🍌
rustic flower
I am thinking sleeved cables will help, so I ordered a set.
earnest olive
you will just need to remove the cylinder

alright, adding to list
lyric thistle
thermalright is cool
earnest olive
very agreeable price
157mm height should have no problem fitting in your case
and supposedly performance beats the scythe fuma 2
which is a higher end cooler than the mugen
lyric thistle
do they make smaller ones?
earnest olive
not that i know of, they do make a bigger one though lol
earnest olive
also, technically the case does support liquid cooling
92mm aios are rare but they exist
they are also pretty much entirely pointless
but just putting that out there

or try getting a 5600x if peice are not too bad. Or try mercado libre <@39847993...
That'd cost me like 500+ USD
2×8GB 3200mhz is like 100 usd
And mobo+cpu is like 400 USD
I'll probably go for a 3600
sand falcon
100 is way too high for that ram
cunning shuttle
That's the price for the cheapest 16gb kit in Chile
fossil cedar
100 is way too high for that ram
they currency converting
cunning shuttle
That's more than 3200mhz*
cunning shuttle
they currency converting
Yup
Its 79800 clp
And USD=780 CLP
So more like 120 dollars
sand falcon
Ah, gotcha

what ram?
cunning shuttle
I'm buying a R5 3600 and I have a hyper212 with two fans attached, is it worth it to pay 15 USD more for a TUF B450M PRO S instead of an ASRock B450M Pro4-F
Or will I not run into VRM thermal issues either way

The Lenovo is an ok PC but for almost the price of a 3060 PC not really a good idea
potent portal
Closer to 25-30% better but still, that much % more performance for 10% more money is easy math
potent portal
Sure the Lenovo gets you a 5800 (non-X) but that's not really the bottleneck and not needed for just gaming

Do I also put it to 3600?

no just do docp and exit
it will put it at 3600 with the correct timings and voltages

You can remove the battery, unplug the pc and wait like 3 mins
Or look for pins on your board that saw clr_cmos and short them with a screwdriver or something

1080p at 27 inches is pretty bad pixel density and that's a completely unknown brand to me. I don't see any reliable reviews from the usual sites, only ones that are clearly bought reviews.

what do you suggest

144hz 1ms all that

isnt the m27q good price to performance

What is the best 1440p monitor I can get
The "best" is highly subjective and based on personal preferences, but the best bang for buck is the M27Q right now

the one i am using right now is some kind of gaming chair and its falling aprat so bad
a little of both
potent portal
"Gaming" chairs tend to be cheap, a good office chair is often better
marsh kiln
yea i have heard that a lot but mine was super cheap because my friend was moving and did not want it anymore
potent portal
Have you tested if you're one of the people able to distinguish between 120Hz and 240Hz? It's like 2% of people can do it reliably or something low like that
marsh kiln
idk
right now i am using two tvs
my main tv is 59hz and idk about my 42" tcl its not very high i know that
potent portal
I'd say the M27Q is a good one for you too then, it's 27" 1440p 170Hz and I've seen it as low as $270 lately
potent portal
It depends on your preferences mostly, you can go to a staples or something that has a bunch on display and see which kind you like. Keep in mind something with a normal cushion will go flat over time, and you'll want to make sure the piston can support your weight. I've seen some that only advertise 120 lbs so it's good to check.
marsh kiln
yea im only 180 and the chair i have now is no cushion anymore really its a bored
one of the arms wiggles like a darn worm and both do not have padding pure metal
potent portal
Something with a firm cushion might be good for you but you'll have to test them like I said
marsh kiln
yea i will im working on a x-mas list right now so far i have a computer case ssd and a remote start for my pc
i want to add headphones and a mouse but i am not sure what brand of either i like yet
potent portal
First thing with a mouse is figure out what kind of grip is most comfortable for you and get a mouse that is made for that grip style
marsh kiln
palm
potent portal
I'm a palm/claw combo depending on what I'm doing.
marsh kiln
claw just feels wired and i can not even fiuger out how to do fingertip
sorry i lied
i am fingertip when i was trying them out palm felt the best but when actully using my mouse its fingertip
between fingertip and claw

unless the seller is reasonable

i have had to do a bit to it i factory rest it for the person i put in lights (rip only like half them work) added a new fan cus the other one did not run because not enough fan plugins and i had a molex fan and so i added it moved the ram to 2 and 4 instead of 1 and 3
took the fan off the rad and cleaned that took the psu out and cleaned that
the lights look so much better in the pic then irl
its actully white and only half work
not bad for my first gaming setup what do you think?

Not bad for entry level, you could probably use a stand for the screen though

Since you’re going to sit in the chair no matter what is on the desk
marsh kiln
mmm i dont know about that
little osprey
I mean if your chair breaks you can’t sit down
marsh kiln
little osprey
You can always use a wooden chair if your current one breaks until you can buy a new one

is amd better than intel? nzxt website straight up says ill get less frames with amd at the same price
obsidian wigeon
It's hard to say
If we throw value out 11900K performs like 5900X and 5950X in gaming
11400F when it was at 180 had perf near 5600x in games, while costing less
gleaming orchid
hmm. Ryzen 7 5800x is the equivalent to the i9 right? is it better?
coz im thinking about going with the i9
obsidian wigeon

But you'd save cash going 5800x
Also don't get nzxt prebuilts

There's 4 headers at the top, which one exactly?

It’s making loud fan noise while I am adjusting in the bios
And I don’t see any change
potent portal
Chassis Fan 3 is one of the bottom headers
unreal bison
unreal bison
Chassis Fan 3 is one of the bottom headers
Oh ok
No thing plug on the bottom then
Only the top
potent portal
The ones on the top are for the VRM heatsink (by the cpu power cables) then in the group of 3, the left is for the CPU (which is a good spot for AIO fans), the middle is set to run at the same speed as the left, then the right is for the pump and will run 100% all the time.
potent portal
Right, so check the wiring and make sure it's the pump that's in the right side slot
The pump is usually attached to the CPU block
unreal bison
Right, so check the wiring and make sure it's the pump that's in the right side ...

What’s the pump
potent portal
That's the NZXT kraken right?
potent portal
Yes, the kraken comes with a splitter that plugs into the block, did you use that?
unreal bison
Yes yep
potent portal
Ok so on this "breakout cable" it has...
potent portal
Plug this one into the CPU fan or CPU opt, left or middle slot
potent portal
And then the right side one you'll leave empty, or whatever is plugged into it will run 100% and be loud
potent portal
Yes, and the cable I pointed out will plug in there
clever eagle
umm
potent portal
If it's still running loud you'll need to change the fan mode

correct, it can

from the product web page
although, theres no such thing as a 120mm x 280mm radiator, what they mean is 140mm x 280mm radiator in the front

I have heard of people squeezing in a 280mm on the top, usually with clearance issues or very tight clearance though
