i quit because whenever id play on megas id lag

stoic island
#

How did it do beforehand? That bit was left out

woeful plinth
#

might be worth trying a new psu?

stoic island
#

What PSU is it

#

And right now I'd start with looking at the ram

woeful plinth
#

Corsair RM Series, RM850, 850 Watt, 80+

#

i tested with my old ram kit and it did crash

stoic island
#

Should be fine, and well, might as well just clear cmos

#

Clear cmos is useful for just resetting all the settings for testing

woeful plinth
#

to do that i have to pull the lil battery from the mobo for 10 min right?

stoic island
#

Unplug from wall, take out cmos battery

woeful plinth
#

yeah, will try thanks!

stoic island
#

5 min should do fine, you can do 10 if you want to

#

Also, after you clear cmos, don't turn xmp back on

#

Xmp is one of the things that could be causing instability here

woeful plinth
#

sounds good!

stable tinsel
#

Why does my pc blue screen after downloading games

#

I can't figure out why after that it fixes itself

strong raft
# stoic island What PSU is it

100% gpu crashed their pc. Perhaps furmark or similar could duplicate the issue. Of course might still be ram as you mentioned

stable tinsel
#

The games run no problem after that

lofty tundra
#

Alright i put my gpu from my prebuilt into my new build. Do i enable it somewhere in bios?

woeful plinth
#

am thinking it is the psu

woeful plinth
stoic island
stoic island
woeful plinth
#

is it possible that the outlet is not giving the pc enough power? i have a few things pluged in the same outlet

stoic island
#

plug straight into the wall instead of using extenders if possible, and if the PC is drawing too much straight from the wall, it'd trip a breaker in the house

#

@woeful plinth btw, any other symptoms and anything in event viewer?

lofty tundra
#

Fk.. help pls

stoic island
#

?

lofty tundra
#

I disabled my cpu integrated graphics because i put my graphics card from my prebuilt in and now i can’t get any graphics.

errant fiber
lofty tundra
#

Idk why my gpu isn’t displaying graphics or how to get my cpu graphics back.

stoic island
#

take the GPU out and clear cmos, that should get you iGPU back

#

but why your GPU isn't outputting anything, who knows

lofty tundra
#

Its a 1080 i just put it into the pins on the board and plugged it in. I mean is there anything more to it?

#

That’s how it was in on my prebuilt.

strong raft
#

Oh yeah I meant to say that psu could be issue and just doing 100% gpu in a game is partly what did it

strong raft
lofty tundra
#

Ahh could i have needed drivers and stuff first? I thought you had to get it setup and have graphics for it to display.

woeful plinth
#

Testing pluged from the wall, will see what happens

lofty tundra
#

Like plugged in and stuff and it would display and then you update drivers.

#

Wait wtf?

#

Just shut down and rebooted and now i have graphics coming from it? After the 3rd reboot wtf?

woeful plinth
#

i hope it doesnt crash and that it was the issue

woeful plinth

#

Okay got a weird issue with my build I’m working on rn

#

Got a M.2 (MP-E 500GB) and whenever I put it into the mobo and try to boot the screen is black

#

Like not no signal black but just black

#

Take it out and I boot to BIOS fine

#

Started happening after I installed windows on it

#

no matter what I do if I put the M.2 in it goes black screen

#

Also the computer will start to power cycle a few times before boot light comes on but it doesn’t do this consistently*

#

“For AMD” is just a marketing thing, was mostly for AMD 5000’s release iirc

#

3600 CL18 is a bit meh depending on the CPU though

willow crown
rancid lodge
willow crown
#

i5-12600k

rancid lodge
#

Uh yeah you’ll probably want CL16 instead

#

DDR5 is early adopter funny rn so

#

Okay yeah that specific kit on Newegg doesn’t do 2x8 3600 CL16

willow crown
rancid lodge
#

It’ll say if it’s CL16 or CL18

#

Lower CL = better

#

So you’ll want to look for CL16 3600 prob

#

Not sure about Intel 12th gen tbh but I’d assume it is hungrier for faster memory

dusty peak
#

I got some thermal compound in the cpu socket- how bad is it? Its barely even visible and very contained but its in there

rancid lodge
#

It’s usually non conductive

#

You’ll be fine, clean it out with something non conductive as well

thorn trout
#

does anyone have time to look at some parts i have picked out? Just looking for a couple opinions

rancid lodge
#

Just be careful if it’s a Intel mobo

#

Don’t damage the pins

dusty peak
#

Appreciate it, i have no idea how it got in 💀

#

Its amd btw

#

okay yeah should be easier

So my friend built a computer and his keyboard and mouse are lighting up but no signal to TV. He has a red devil RX 580, which do have a history of not booting up to TVs first try, especially with HDMI. So we are thinking he try VGA first.

#

We checked RAM, used one stick, moved it to every slot. Checked CPU. No broken pins. No disconnected cables as far as we are concerned. Everything lights up and spins when turned on.

#

We even re-seated the GPU and M.2

#

No luck

flint sapphire
#

And I’m assuming there’s no post code or diagnosis light

brittle spindle
#

I fixed it yesterday I got it to boot to BIOS and we installed Windows...he has a ASUS Prime b560 Plus

#

but his brothers and dad keep messing with it and every time they do they mess up the computer somehow...both times it hasnt started after they touched it

#

but now it just doesnt boot at all no signal at least

flint sapphire
#

Thats weird af. You should see if just plugging into a different video output will make it work (different monitor)

would I be able to run a 3070 + 5600x on 550w (seasonic focus GM) or should I play it a bit safer with 650-750?

Hey, I have a 3070 and 5900x (just got the 5900x on Christmas day) and a focus px 750, do you think I have enough headroom to OC my GPU by a decent margin? My temps on gpu max at 68c rn, and CPU max at 73c under full load. I would assume I have the headroom for it, but I figured I’d ask first so I don’t crash my pc and enter bios.

frank stirrup
#

Its fine

dull rampart
#

Thanks

#

Bought the 750 hoping for some OC headroom

Alright, understood. Your choice. That being said, desktops are quite easy to move since they usually only take a few cords, but space can be an understandable issue.

#

To be honest with you, cyberpowerPC is a great brand.

#

Very underrated.

#

Don’t look at more heavily overrated brands such as Alienware, you’ll notice the pricing difference, not to mention, cyber power sends their Pc/laptops bloatware free, unlike dell.

#

Just an option here even, relatively decent pricing.

#

The only thing I don’t really like about that laptop is the CPU, not a big fan of the 11800h.

fossil cedar
dull rampart
#

That also only has 512 ssd, laptop storage expandability is questionable at best, other than that, that laptop is pretty good too.

#

I’m very new in the gaming PC world, so I’m very open to ideas, I was suggested Check this out on @Newegg: Gigabyte AORUS 15P Gaming & Entertainment Laptop (Intel i7-11800H 8-Core, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD, 15.6" Full HD (1920x1080), NVIDIA RTX 3060, Wifi, Bluetooth, Webcam, 1xHDMI, Win 10 Home) https://www.newegg.com/p/2WC-000Z-00AT3?Item=9SIA7ABFEM4022&Source=socialshare&cm_mmc=snc-social-_-sr-_-9SIA7ABFEM4022-_-12272021 from a friend, who isn’t the most tech savvy but knows more than I do.

dull rampart
#

I have nothing against the 11800h, I just think something like the 11700h would be better if they release it.

#

Or 12th gen laptop processors when they’re released.

fossil cedar
fossil cedar
#

Why

vague oracle
#

How would it be better if it’s not even out yet

#

As far as I know there wasn’t even an announcement that they are releasing it

dull rampart
#

There isn’t.

#

What I’m saying is the MSRP on the 11800h is very high for an 8 core 16 thread chip.

#

$400

#

11700h would also be 8c16t if it were released, but presumably more at the $330 price range.

#

Just as 12th gen will most likely (I’m not 100% sure on this) introduce efficiency cores to laptop processors.

#

Not saying that the 11800h is a bad chip by any means, just quite a high price point for its class.

fossil cedar
dull rampart
#

You seemingly ignored everything else I said though

#

It’s a good cpu for right now, and if you need a laptop now, it’s a good purchase, but in the next few months you can (again, presumably) get similar performance for far less money, or greater performance for around the same.

fossil cedar
#

Laptop CPUs don't matter a huge amount msrp wise because only the whole laptop price counts anyway

#

Also what would the hypothetical 11700h even be?

#

There's been no leeks of it to my knowledge

#

I mean if we're talking like that then we could just say the 11900k would be better if it didn't suck xD

dull rampart
#

Yes that’s true, it’s an endless road of that happening, so saying to “hold out for the next generation” sounds absolutely dumb, but it should be released by February, because CES is coming soon, and they should announce them then.

fossil cedar
#

Yeah but that's 2 months away

#

Sure if you have something atm you can wait but it's not fun to wait that long if you don't have anything

dull rampart
#

Not specifically referring to this article, but an example is this.

#

6p cores, 8e cores, more threads, all around better.

#

And it should be released late January.

#

Never recommended against buying an 11800h, but if someone is able to wait just a few months, they’ll get quite a bit more.

fossil cedar
#

Too be honest the gaming performance probably wont be a huge jump

#

Sure multi core and battery life will be better with e cores

#

But gaming is pretty reliant on single core so core count isn't really a big factor

obsidian wigeon
#

And e-cores causes issues with older games

#

The damn drms, gah

#

I'm sure e-cores will be able to be disabled in bios at least, but still

#

Painful

limber oyster
#

Personally, I have a i7-11800H and my 7 3700x has better performance

what’s the difference between 1440p and 1080p

#

and is over clocking a monitor worth it

earnest olive
#

don't even think about 1440p with your 1060 3gb

#

and overclocking monitor is only worth it going from 60hz to 75hz

#

no point on 144hz

oblique gull
#

just build my first pc and everything seems to be running fine. but for some reason there is no input for my monitor. any ideas? (and yes i did see if it was connected to the gpu. it is.)

earnest olive
#

by running fine you mean fans spinning lights on?

#

first step is to try unplugging and replugging the monitor cable on both ends

#

fans spinning lights on does NOT guarantee running fine though - system can fail boot and still have fan spin

oblique gull
#

but imma double check by plugging and unplugging the monitor

#

does this mean something?

IMG_2073.jpg
earnest olive
#

that's a boot fail

oblique gull
#

i feel it does but i’m too stupid

earnest olive
#

look closer

#

each light there has a label

oblique gull
#

ohhh i see

#

anything bad?

earnest olive
#

which label? it looks like VGA to me

#

but pic isn't perfectly clear

#

VGA means it got stuck initializing the graphics card

oblique gull
#

what does that mean?

earnest olive
#

graphics card no work

oblique gull
#

better or nah?

earnest olive
#

turn it off, turn the power supply off, pull out the graphics card, plug it back in, reseat the power cables to the graphics card

#

then try turning it on again

#

also pray that your graphics card is not dead bc that's the hardest part to replace right now

oblique gull
#

i got it from mc

#

with warranty

#

so idc about that

earnest olive
#

oh

oblique gull
#

just need to get this over with cuz i have plans tommrow

earnest olive
#

well do what I said if it doesn't work take it back

thin oar
#

just curious

#

like bumping it up to 1440p on my 1060

earnest olive
#

expect fps to drop

#

a lot

#

lol

#

even more than usual since 3gb vram

#

maybe single digit fps in AAA games

#

I got 20 fps in ac valhalla with a 1060 6gb at 1440p

#

and the vram was at 100% usage

oblique gull
#

also yeah btw i tried to get the gpu out but the wires seem stuck on

#

but everything else a tried didnt work so it seems i might have a dead gpu

earnest olive
#

even my 3080 struggles with that game

#

gets like 80 fps at 1440p high

thin oar
#

games seem to run quite well

earnest olive
#

maybe if you're playing league of legends

thin oar
#

Im not unfortunately

#

not a game I’m actually that interested in

earnest olive
#

must be a really old or undemanding title to run well at 1440p on a 3gb 1060

thin oar
#

I don’t play many AAA games so I should be fine

earnest olive
#

1440p has higher vram demands

thin oar
#

I know

#

I’m on apex legends and I’m getting mid 90’s

#

Medium settings

#

High 50’s to low 60’s on gta at high settings

#

anyone know how many frames a r9 5900hx + 3070 laptop would get in different games

are you sure you applied thermal paste properly?

and do you have decent case airflow?

I just used the pre applied thermal paste from the cooler.

do a front intake and rear exhaust

#

top exhaust too, probably

do the 3 on the front as intake and 3 in the back as exhaust

#

probably yeah

ebon fulcrum
#

but how do i even fo that, i need a step by step guide

#

google confoosing

earnest olive
#

use bios to boot override into windows installer

#

where that is located depends on what brand motherboard you have

#

you will need a usb with at least 8gb that you can wipe

ebon fulcrum
#

yeah?

earnest olive
#

I can't tell the capacity from that lol

topaz kestrel
#

well its a windows install usb so i imagine it already has media tool on it

you'll also need access to another working computer

#

oh I didn't see the logo in the phone preview

ebon fulcrum
#

🧍 ok i’ll just take this pc to my house, and i go from there

#

sigh

earnest olive
#

well I've never used one of those but I imagine it's the same

ebon fulcrum
#

reinstalling windows is my biggest enemy

earnest olive
#

just plug it in

#

and reboot to bios

topaz kestrel
#

you dont need another pc since you have the windows install on that usb

lofty tundra
#

CPU is at 84 degrees f. So nvm think it's fine then. Was jw why it was sitting at 106 degrees on the cooler but ig you have to reopen the app for it to start moving again to what it is actually at.

oh

#

god please never talk about temperatures in F

topaz kestrel

#

uh

#

why not f

#

its just wrong and confuses people

#

@earnest olive oh my, now it’s a black screen again i sob , i already did a CMOS

#

what MORE DO YOU EANT FROM ME ARGHHH

earnest olive
#

you're black screening from trying to get into bios?

topaz kestrel

ebon fulcrum
#

i was about to enter bios but it black screened on me

earnest olive

🗿

ebon fulcrum
#

it was in the shift + restart place

topaz kestrel
#

?

ebon fulcrum
#

it’s blue screen… with troubleshooting etc

topaz kestrel
#

isnt shift restart for safe mode?

ebon fulcrum
#

you also enter bios through there

topaz kestrel

:/

earnest olive
#

sounds like PC is not having a good time

ebon fulcrum
#

it isn’t

#

i didn’t go through these issues with my own pc so i’m crying inside

#

debug lights tho start red with cpu though

#

and orange with dram

topaz kestrel
#

you tried reseating ram?

#

the omega fix to everything

ebon fulcrum
#

switching em?

topaz kestrel
#

:/

#

reseating

#

take out

#

put back in

ebon fulcrum
#

switching could also be reseating darn 🙄🙄

topaz kestrel
#

no switching is switching

#

reseating is reseating

Hey I’m throwing a build together with a B560 torpedo and a 10400f with a 6600xt. I have a 550 watt psu a Corsair cv 550 does it matter that there’s only one 8pin for the cpu and the mobo has a 8 and a 4 pin

worn wave
#

You only need the single 8pin

That’s what I thought it only has a 65 watt tdp for the cpu

How do I connect all the pins for the seasonic focus?

rose breach
stoic island
earnest olive
#

pretty much everything but the case

#

and CPU/GPU I guess

stoic island
#

To start, extra fans aren't really necessary, and if you want RGB fans, Corsair is not the way to go if you like your wallet

earnest olive
#

corsair 02puke

#

it's not just about the wallet

stoic island
#

Next, Corsair ram is just sad for the price, I'd just go ballistix, you can go for ballistix rgb if you want

earnest olive
#

it's about having to use icue lol

stoic island
#

Wallet and iCUE eats all of your CPU and memory

earnest olive
#

corsair rgb is the only rgb that has a serious performance impact on your pc

stoic island
#

And its just meh in terms of quality and performance

stoic island
topaz kestrel
#

😳

earnest olive
#

corsair ram isn't just sad for the price it's sad in general with how often it can't do a not-very-aggressive xmp profile

stoic island
#

meant not white but anyways

topaz kestrel
#

lol

rose breach
#

i see

earnest olive
#

corsair in general is just a hard avoid besides a select few cases and power supplies

rose breach
#

ah

stoic island
rose breach
#

wow i made a lot of mistakes lol

stoic island
#

not that Corsair actually makes the PSUs, like RMx is based off CWT GPU, and another CWT GPU PSU, Revolution d.f., is 110$ for 850w, so yaknow

earnest olive
#

everyone starts somewhere

#

at least you asked

#

you don't want to know how many people buy some garbage then ask if it's good then any suggestions for changes are made with "well I already bought it"

earnest olive
#

but sometimes there are some good sales on good corsair psus

#

like when the txm650 was $50

stoic island
#

(was pointing out Corsair being overpriced compared to basically the exact same product)

earnest olive
#

🥶

#

txm650 for $50 is a cop for any budget-midrange build

stoic island
topaz kestrel
#

🥵

stoic island
#

I mean formula gold

earnest olive
#

my txm750 shrugs off a 3080 and a 3070 at the same time

no problem

lol I remember the guy that hammered a ryzen 7 2700x into z390

Did that actually happen?

earnest olive

or the guy that drilled holes into his flagship GPU then made it explode

yes i saw it with my own eyes

rose breach
earnest olive
#

I wish I didn't

stoic island

#

I mean, didn't buildzoid blow up a 6900xt or smth

earnest olive
#

yeah but probably not for the same reason lol

worn wave
#

Couple days ago I accdiently shoved a opteron into a motherboard and bent pins

earnest olive
#

this guy was trying to liquid cool his 980ti

worn wave
#

I somehow did not know the pins were bent and I tried to shove it in

earnest olive
#

and asked on a forum if he could drill new cooler mounting holes cause the cooler he had didn't quite fit

#

everyone said NO

#

he did it anyways and complained the gpu was no longer working

stoic island
earnest olive
#

then he asked if he could use his screwdriver to bridge the hole he drilled

#

everyone said NO that's dangerous

#

he did it anyways and it exploded

topaz kestrel
#

lol

earnest olive
#

then he posted a pic where he broke it in half out of rage

stoic island
#

rip

earnest olive
#

some people are just too stupid to be helped

when you ask and 16 people say NO but you do it anyways and what they said would happen happens

I ended up buying an HX750

earnest olive
#

not too shabby

#

I didn’t even look at wattage or anything hehe

#

I didn't know the differences between cases and mbs

so I just looked for some with good reviews

ended up with an alright mb and a terrible case

Ended up with a crosshair VIII Hero/3700x bundle for $400

Now that I think about it a lot of things I did back in the day were really stupid

#

When upgrading ram I typed into Amazon gaming RAM

And bought the first one I saw

why did I buy a corsair 275r non-airflow

my poor 1080ti was screaming at 92C

#

I bought an H500 couple years ago

#

I never even used it

#

I ended up just giving it to a friend

stoic island
#

Looking at google, just gotta hope people don't pick the first option they see

#

that case was probably worse than h510

#

I took off the front panel and gpu temps dropped by more than 10c

topaz kestrel
vague oracle

I “upgraded” from 16gb 3000mhz cl16 to 32gb3000mhz cl15

Only thing good there is CX-F

Oh and ion gold

#

lol I recently learned why so much cheap crap has blue LEDs

vague oracle
#

What about the smart buy? Isn’t it a smart buy?

vague oracle
earnest olive
#

apparently way back in the day blue LEDs were the most difficult and expensive to make

mossy venture
#

Question for yall that is completely unrelated to this, a lot of smart people just happen to be here: are there any speculations on the tdp of next gen gpus?

earnest olive
#

so seeing blue LEDs on products conveyed a sense of premium-ness

worn wave
#

Ah yes, epic floppies

unknown.png
mossy venture
#

Or any guesses yall have?

earnest olive
mossy venture
#

450w rumors?

earnest olive
#

we already have AIB models this gen exceeding 450w

#

yeah I've heard some rumors of 450w tdp on the 40 series flagship

mossy venture
#

I bought a 650w rmx since it was 40$ cheaper than the 750/850

earnest olive
#

nothing with substance but I wouldn't be surprised lol

mossy venture
#

And have been thinking about upgradability

earnest olive
#

nvidia feels like they need to outcompete amd

#

so they are pushing the cards hard

mossy venture
#

Yeah

earnest olive
#

30 series is already pushed so far past optimal efficiency level

mossy venture
#

And then amd will respond

still roostBOT
#
Haze#5259 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

earnest olive
#

why you can decrease power draw by like 100w and still only lose like 5% perf

mossy venture
earnest olive
#

sigh

#

why do all the spammers come when I'm on mobile

mossy venture
#

Or a sub generation, if that makes sense

earnest olive
#

it's so difficult to ban on mobile

earnest olive
#

it was pascal

#

lol

mossy venture
#

I mean with newer advancements

#

Would be nice to see low tdp cards with 30 series performance

earnest olive
#

that was only 2 generations ago

#

you can always undervolt a high end card anyways

mossy venture
#

True

earnest olive
#

quite a few people buying 3080s to run them at like 250w

mossy venture
#

Before I bought the new psu I would've bought a 3080 if I had the chance

#

Founders that is, from bb

#

And just sold mine

#

I guess I could just power limit it and still be fine

#

Now that you bring it up

earnest olive
#

I'm sure the people buying those blower 3090s are undervolting lol

mossy venture
#

Blower cards 🤮

earnest olive
#

have seen some blower 3090s being sold at premiums to sff builders

mossy venture
#

I'm curious as to the tdp of the desktop 3050

#

Might be a cheaper upgrade option for my SO instead of 6000 series apu

earnest olive
#

considering how high the 3060 is idk if it's going to be a 75w card

mossy venture
#

Just depends on their psu, I have yet to have them check it

earnest olive
#

3060 is 170w

#

1060 was 120w

mossy venture
#

Wait really?

#

3060 is that high?

#

I thought it was 150

#

Dropped my phone a bit

topaz kestrel

check for yourself if ya don't believe me

you can push some 3060s above 200w

My 3060 ti can only add 2% on pl lmao

my 3080 can add +0%

I forget on what gpu

Would you run a 3600 and 3080 with a 75-80% pl on a 650w rmx?

earnest olive
#

lol you can do it at 100 pl

mossy venture
#

Only reason I'd buy it is to sell my card to a miner

earnest olive
#

3600x 3080 3070 ran fine on 650 focus gold

mossy venture
#

But thought it'd be too close

earnest olive
#

rmx is no slouch it can handle transients

mossy venture
#

Mm

#

Thanks

#

I'd still prolly pl a bit just to be safe, also because Temps on the FE vram isn't amazing

yeah FE kinda doodoo

mossy venture
#

All speculation

#

Low odds of me getting one off a bb drop anyways

earnest olive
#

repad mandatory

mossy venture
#

Oh sips

#

Because my psu is having issues

#

I currently have my case open with a room fan directly next to the pc pointing at the psu lmfao

earnest olive
#

🗿

#

ok maybe it won't run a 3080

#

what issues

mossy venture
#

The fan works

#

No it's an evga bq 750

earnest olive
#

oh

mossy venture
#

It's getting replaced by the rmx Thursday

#

The fan is being weird

#

Either rattling, off balance, or hitting smthn in the psu

earnest olive
#

I put a 500 gd in gf's build

mossy venture
#

I have rhe fan so the psu stays cool enough do the fan on the psu stays quiet

earnest olive
#

it was making a weird sound for a bit but stopped

#

probably coil whine

mossy venture
#

Because the fan noise is better than a ticking noise

#

Nah its not coil whine

#

I've verified it

earnest olive
#

not yours

#

gf's

mossy venture
#

Oh

#

Thought you meant the issue with hers was prolly the same one as mine

#

I wanted to buy another evga semi modular

#

To avoid recable managing

#

But the rmx was 65$

#

And no decent semi mod by evga is reasonably priced

earnest olive
#

gotta be careful... those cables may not be compatible anyways

mossy venture
#

Yeah

earnest olive
#

I had to buy a replacement pcie cable for a g3

#

it didn't list compatibility with b series

#

so

mossy venture
#

I had someone tell me they went from a corsair psu to a superflower

#

And kept the same cables

#

And it somehow works

earnest olive
#

unlikely you could keep the same cables between a bq and a g-whatever

mossy venture
#

That hurt me to hear

earnest olive
#

the corsair psu might be superflower oem

mossy venture
#

Yeah

#

Like the g2

#

I think

#

But evga

earnest olive
#

still not a good idea

mossy venture
#

Yeah

#

I'm not excited to redo that cable management

earnest olive
#

cable management isn't that hard better than risking a fire lol

#

I enjoy cable management

mossy venture
#

Yeah I just suck at focusing on one thing at once

earnest olive
#

most fun part of building a PC for me

mossy venture
#

I'll probably have my brother help me

earnest olive

nothing special about tossing some parts together so that they work

every dollar I spent on making it look good was worth it to me

yeah

$3/each

pretty sick price

stoic island
#

otherwise could prob go for gelid stellas

earnest olive
#

filled out an o11 with argb fans for less than the price of a single corsair fan

mossy venture
#

He had a corsair something airflow I think

#

Looked to be a good case

earnest olive
#

and I can control them all with 0.0% CPU usage and 1.4mb ram

mossy venture

He just needs more fans, he currently only has two stock fans in there
