Unless its not actually working and the cpu is overheating but if its brand new i highly doubt thats the case

twilit salmon Dec 8, 2021, 9:47 PM

#

Yeah everything is working

#

Idk whats going on

#

I just cant boot

twin sedge Dec 8, 2021, 9:48 PM

#

Check to make sure everything is fully plugged in

#

If so try putting the old cpu cooler on and seeing if it would boot that way

twilit salmon Dec 8, 2021, 9:49 PM

#

Alright

#

I unplugged some random fan header which i dont even know what it was for and suddenly it works fine…

twin sedge Dec 8, 2021, 9:50 PM

Well there you go

twilit salmon Dec 8, 2021, 9:50 PM

#

All my fans are still spinning

twin sedge Dec 8, 2021, 9:50 PM

#

Ig the header may be broken and its causing the mobo to malfunction

twin sedge Dec 8, 2021, 9:51 PM

#

twilit salmon All my fans are still spinning

Most likely its just for rgb

twilit salmon Dec 8, 2021, 9:51 PM

#

It was a normal fan connector though

#

Oh i didnt fix it…

#

I had to reboot and its doing the same thing again

twin sedge Dec 8, 2021, 9:52 PM

#

I guess your last option would be to do a fresh windows install

#

But try troubleshooting some more

#

Could the pump fans being in the wrong slot potentially screw it up?

twin sedge Dec 8, 2021, 9:54 PM

#

Not likely because i dont see how the fans would affect the system booting

#

But ig try another slot

twilit salmon Dec 8, 2021, 9:55 PM

#

Alright

twin sedge Dec 8, 2021, 9:55 PM

#

Or what could possibly be the case is your cpu may have shifted when installing the aio and might not fully or correctly be in the socket

twilit salmon Dec 8, 2021, 9:56 PM

#

Alright

#

I might just wait till the weekend honestly to mess with it as im getting a new motherboard then

Fan/pump header could be causing a short or soemthin.

#

Thats why

do you have backups?

twilit salmon Dec 8, 2021, 10:41 PM

#

Nope the one thing i cared about was photos and this was the backup…

#

Okay i was wrong that drive didnt have important things on it

#

My smaller drive is the one with important things

jagged ember Dec 8, 2021, 10:49 PM

#

good

#

rip main drive though, was it an nvme drive?

#

also for data security I save my important files in 2 separate drives and in 1 offsite location

#

not exactly up to the 321 backup scheme, but close enough that I don't think it'll be a problem

twilit salmon Dec 8, 2021, 11:02 PM

#

It was a 2TB HDD

jagged ember Dec 8, 2021, 11:05 PM

#

oof

#

i'd go with a new nvme drive this time around if your mobo has the port for it

#

as your boot drive, i mean

I'm an environment artist for AAA video games an I'm currently looking into purchasing a PC through newegg. Trying to keep the cost around 3k. I game sometimes, but not this will mostly be used for zbrush, unreal engine 4, and photoshop.

This is what im thinking about purchasing:

https://www.newegg.com/skytech-st-prism2-0282-b-ne-prism-ii/p/N82E16883289215?Item=N82E16883289215&Source=socialshare&cm_mmc=snc-social-_-sr-_-83-289-215-_-12092021

and fit the Prism II with these:

Is there something better I should look into?
How can I determine if a desktop can be legally shipped to Washington state? I know there are new regulations, but I have no idea where to find out what i can and cannot order. This would be super helpful. Can I order the Prism II (Desktop in link) for example?
Do you know if these two linked products are compatible? How do I find out?
I realize it only has 1TB of storage. I have a gigantic external already and have an SSD to spare. I also just like the all glass case.

Any and all help or pointers would be greatly appreciated!

I couldn't put the side panel on since the cord comes out of the case trying to fit to Sata next to each other. But tried other ports but they couldn't fit as well

@pato

Just horrible design for people with 2 to 3 drives or drives just in a row

honestly wish they redo sata points so there closer because it would make much more sense for 2 drives since there so far apart

carmine mural Dec 10, 2021, 2:35 AM

#

You won't believe the temps I'm getting, at BIOs idling it was bringing in a wopping 45-55C, in windows upon start up jumping to 90-96C dropping back down to 60-80C, and during stress testing it was hitting 96C average with like three cores at 100C.

I figured it was the pump not moving the water when I saw the average water temp staying below 45-50 and slowly climbing to the temp of the CPU, which told me it was just gradually heating the water up, like a stove eye.

The pump doesn't have any singular indicator of it running, all I get is Pump RPM, but that sits at 1200-1600, I could set all fans to 100% and it makes no difference on the CPU core temperature.

I and both a professional PC builder both unmounted and applied thermal paste and still found it was overheating drastically. I've done both the X method and what he did which was the butter spread method. Still no difference in CPU temps.

The only thing I have to think of whats happening is the dual chamber is keeping the hot water ontop of the CPU and not cycling it out, causing it to overheat.

#

So I have a lemon that is terrible at cooling the computer and I needed to know if I was to get a new one that worked (hopefully) that it would do the job, instead of getting one that was insuffecient in cooling down these chipsets IE wasting more time and resources into something that wouldn't even work if I did get one that is working.

Like tightening the mobo too much, but there's always a good 1/2" gap where the standoffs on so idk.

4 pin headers just usually allow pwm or something so fans can be set to adjust speed by temps or have a custom fan curve. I also have 3pin fans on a bunch of 4 pin mobo headers. 👍

Yeah, some cases have 3 intake right on the front so this is a lil different. Many people don't even use a rear/top exhaust I've noticed. Would be neat if we could easily stand a fan on the psu shield inbetween intake & the GPU if that makes sense.

ok, but pretty sure that dumb bios speaker isn't all that helpful. Is there a 2digit LED thing on the mobo anyone? They usually flash numbers or letters. THat's what's used to diagnos boot problems or somethin.

My z77 does... Wait, you moved the sata cable. those 6 ports are just sata data.

Isn't it used as a dust alarm?

#

Shouldn't it be in sata 1?

strong raft Dec 11, 2021, 2:54 AM

Might not matter if all of em are Sata 3 speed. Example, mine are labeled 0-5 actually. top 2 are Sata 3 (600Mbps or w/e) and the lower 4 ports are Sata 2 speed.

oh, yikes. Sounds like dial up or Windows 98/2000 days, and I only used those a bit because of my dad. AMD was ATI and they had their neat All-In-Wonder gpu's, hook up to cable to watch/record stuff to the pc.

well then try booting with one stick

corsair is a little better overall imo, but p much neglidgable

the ram is not being detected

desert gulch Dec 11, 2021, 3:05 AM

but thats whatever

ram could be faulty

i have a lian li XL

i guess

desert gulch Dec 11, 2021, 3:06 AM

or wait no the agf is the one with meh case support i think

you got two dual kits?

corsair is cheaper tho

strong raft Dec 11, 2021, 3:07 AM
