[strong raft]

Oops, meant to reply to Zero serenity

[icy thunder]

"Room for up to six 120mm fans & supports up to 240mm radiators in the top and front"

[fossil cedar]

Only supports 240mm aios :(

[icy thunder]

rip

same as the one you sent

[desert gulch]

Prolly can't top mount a lf2 either

Cause thicc

[stoic island]

Could just go 240mm lf2

[desert gulch]

Even if it was a 240

[desert gulch]

Yeah prolly have to front mount it tho

[stoic island]

Maybe

[fossil cedar]

@icy thunder https://pcpartpicker.com/list/jqkTwc this is what you're looking at, no guarantee of case quality, possibly not being able to top mount and having to front mount aio, although it should fit

[strong raft]

Perhaps top aio then fans above on outside of case

[icy thunder]

great news

i convinced them to spraypaint a white case

[fossil cedar]

Oh nice

[fossil cedar]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/8p9WGL this then

[icy thunder]

swag

what was wrong with the m.2s in the one i sent?

[stoic island]

What was in there before

[icy thunder]

team mp33

[fossil cedar]

Nothing just 3tb of ssd seemed like a bit much, can always add more if they need it, and it's just higher quality drive

[stoic island]

Kc2500 is a 2262EN drive, a bit better than e13t on mp33, basically equivalent to e12

[icy thunder]

the 1tb was meant for windows and other random stuff while the 2tb was meant to hold all the games

[fossil cedar]

No point just have on 1 drive, bigger drive for main the better imo

[stoic island]

If you need more than 2tb of space for games, put it on a HDD, if you need less, just get a 2tb SSD

[stoic island]

Boot drive can have a lot more than just windows

[icy thunder]

i know

i just dont know how much room they will need

[fossil cedar]

As main drive will fill up with things that you cant put on other drive/if not paying attention to install c will be default

[icy thunder]

for games and other stuff

[stoic island]

Just because you have 500gb of games on the boot drive doesn't mean you'll boot slower

[icy thunder]

i have a 2tb m.2 full of just games

like 100 gb left of space

[fossil cedar]

2tb is plenty of most, if they need more, they can add a 2tb hdd for 50$

[icy thunder]

then a normal ssd for windows and everything else

[stoic island]

There's times where it's good to clear out the storage

Either you have a bunch of AAA open world games or there's probably some things you don't need any more

[icy thunder]

both

[fossil cedar]

If you open windows run and type %temp% then cntrl A you'll and press delete then empty recycle bin, i bet you'll have a good bit of storage in there that you can free up btw

[stoic island]

And/or use windirstat and see what's being taken up by what, helps with cleaning out what you don't need

I have a friend who didn't even realize they had like 80gb worth of Skyrim mods

[icy thunder]

doing that cleared like 23gb

[fossil cedar]

Figures

It fills pretty fast

[icy thunder]

alright well if that pc part picker list is all good then thank you very much

i really appreciate it

[fossil cedar]

Np

[south cliff]

I got the gpu and when I booted into windows there were a bunch of blue pixels and I updated driver and when I booted back up there was no blue lines but now it just goes to a black screen

It's a 1660

[south cliff]

It's just a black screen

[agile zenith]

I'm building a server with a pre-assembled supermicro/threatdripper pro board. It started as a NAS project, but now I want to use it to virtualize ubuntu and windows for general use, and use my current pc for full time native windows gaming. I need to get a graphics card for the new fileserver/desktop virtualization build, and I think I should get something cheap and AMD based. What should I get?

[narrow rose]

I think 'cheap' is really all you should worry about for that

[narrow rose]

do you have onboard gpu?

can you plug into the motherboard and get a picture with igpu?

[stoic island]

Reseating may help

[narrow rose]

and a ddu bet there are amd driver lurking in there lol

[south cliff]

hey sorry for the late responce trying to get it to work

but i did the ddu

[narrow rose]

k

[south cliff]

i got it to detect but after it lost connectection to the dp and then it started ding it agian

and i have been doing the same thing

[narrow rose]

did you/can you try the hdmi port?

[south cliff]

i had it connected to my second monitor

and it just shut off 2 after loosing connection

[narrow rose]

try only connecting one at first

first in dvi then in hdmi if that doesnt work

[south cliff]

bad gpu?

[narrow rose]

and as @stoic island said make sure the gpu is seated all the way in the slot

[south cliff]

it is

[narrow rose]

possibly but we aren't there yet

[south cliff]

alr

[narrow rose]

power cables secure on the gpu and in the powersupply?

[south cliff]

btw it started happening when my friend was playing a game

yeah

it just shut off and started to do the boot thing

[narrow rose]

how old is it?

[south cliff]

like 1-2 years

also i replaced themal paste on it

nothing like that has ever happened

[narrow rose]

that was going to be my next suggestion

[stoic island]

Reseating is always nice if the contact is bad for whatever reason, as in, maybe some dust got on the gold contacts

[south cliff]

i put in in so many diffrent times lol

[narrow rose]

when you replaced paste did you make sure all pads lined up and everything got plugged back in?

[south cliff]

i dont think there was any themal pads

its a dell oem one

when it got deteced it was at 32 degress

[narrow rose]

did it look similar to this

[south cliff]

yes

[narrow rose]

and you made sure it was cranked down well

opposite corner tightening

[south cliff]

yup

i can show you

if you want me to

[narrow rose]

sure cant hurt

[south cliff]

k give me a sec

[junior bronze]

Spent $300 on a referbished 1650 🥲

[south cliff]

thats really bad

@narrow rose

[narrow rose]

while you got it out let me see the bottom

pins that arent washed out by the light look ok

[south cliff]

alr

[narrow rose]

no obvious issues that i can see pins look fine no burnt spots and caps look fine

[south cliff]

Could i try and "bake" it

[narrow rose]

you could but I have yet to see that succesfully work

[south cliff]

COuld it break it even more?

[narrow rose]

depends on how careful you are but yes it could

do you have another 16x slot or an 8x slot on the mobo

[south cliff]

yes

[narrow rose]

I would try that if you havent already

[south cliff]

well i know that its not the slot becaseu i have my rx 570 in it rn

[narrow rose]

and it can view windows prior to drivers being installed correct?

like if you ddu-ed it now and put the 1660 in it would work up until you install drivers

[south cliff]

yes

wait

it wouldnt get detected until i installed the drivers

[narrow rose]

and by work I mean vga graphics not able to do much

so if you ddu and take the 570 out and put the 1660 in just black screen nothing?

[south cliff]

somtimes it black screens

not all the time but most

[narrow rose]

or have you not ddu-ed and then put the 1660 in yet

[south cliff]

i have ddued the rx 570 and then put the 1660 in

[narrow rose]

kk

[south cliff]

and ddued it and resinsalled drivers

also fan does spin

[narrow rose]

just making sure nvidia and amd drivers really dont play nice together had to be sure of the order

[south cliff]

alr

[narrow rose]

what psu wattage?

[south cliff]

650

[narrow rose]

I am leaning towards bricked gpu unfortunately

[worthy vector]

i need help

[south cliff]

well that sucks

what could have caused the problem

it was in a alienware

[narrow rose]

heat, weld gave way, capacitor is busted but small enough we cant tell something along those lines

[worthy vector]

so i have an ASRock B560m Pro4 motherboard and its not detecting my wd sn550 blue and idk what to do

[south cliff]

should i keep trying to fix it or should i just let it be?

[narrow rose]

I would keep trying things but yeah it could be fruitless

[narrow rose]

is it showing up in bios if you go to bootable drives?

[south cliff]

try diffrent m.2 slot

[worthy vector]

idk what that is

[south cliff]

your mobo has 2

[narrow rose]

could be this too depending on what lanes the mobo allows for that slot

[worthy vector]

it also says in their page that nvme ssd's are boot disks or something

[south cliff]

did you format it

are you in windows?

[narrow rose]

one of the easiest things you could do is try what @south cliff suggested and try the other m.2 slot on your motherboard as there are 2

[worthy vector]

the one that says ultra?

[narrow rose]

not sure but there are only 2 places it can go

[worthy vector]

ok

i'll try that

[narrow rose]

if you have the motherboard manual it should explain which slots can be used under which conditions

[worthy vector]

if it doesnt work should i get an external one?

[narrow rose]

no no no we can get it to work

[worthy vector]

but if it doesnt

[narrow rose]

it will

[worthy vector]

okkkk

i'll go check

[desert gulch]

10th gen cpu?

if so, you gotta use bottom slot

[narrow rose]

worst thing we will have to do is initialize the drive in command prompt which will be fun since you dont know what bios is but thats ok

[desert gulch]

top slot is gen 4 lanes straight to cpu, and 10th gen doesnt have gen 4

[south cliff]

Also is a 1660 better than a rx 570?

[narrow rose]

yes

[south cliff]

By alot or just somE?

[narrow rose]

25-30% more performance

[south cliff]

wow

I thought it was like 10-15

[narrow rose]

have to remember a 1660 is still 2000 gen card like 2060

[south cliff]

But the only downside is very barbones pcb and cooler

[narrow rose]

and no rtx

[south cliff]

ehh rtx is nice but i wouldnt use it

[narrow rose]

it kind of can now through software anyway

just doesnt have dedicated hardware on the card

[earnest olive]

1660 is a fair bit behind a 2060

same gen, yes, but so is the 2080ti

[south cliff]

I like your PFP

[earnest olive]

hey thanks

i happen to have overclocked and benched all three of those cards personally

[worthy vector]

ok so i should put it in the slot without the heatsink?

[earnest olive]

so here you go

[desert gulch]

sure

its just a gen 3 drive

thisll atleast let you know if itll work

[earnest olive]

rx 570: 4,315
gtx 1660: 5,822
rtx 2060: 8,328

[south cliff]

i didnt know the 1660 was that good

[worthy vector]

ye

[desert gulch]

meh pretty crap, my 5700xt does better stock

[earnest olive]

i feel like people underestimate the 2060

[desert gulch]

yeah use second slot then

lower of the two

[worthy vector]

okkkk

[earnest olive]

don't make me bench my 5700xt nitro+ at 330W

[desert gulch]

i only go against crappy nvidias

not mobile gpus or 3080 tho

[earnest olive]

...it can actually pull 330W btw

i'm not joking

[desert gulch]

lol

[south cliff]

my rx 570 only does like 80-100 watts

[earnest olive]

okay wait i got one

is this one crappy enough

[south cliff]

how do you have so many gpus?

[earnest olive]

i am gpu man

[south cliff]

i see now

[desert gulch]

oh what hashrate is a 5700xt?

[earnest olive]

is this one crappy enough

[desert gulch]

yeah its crap

[narrow rose]

yes

[earnest olive]

how about this one

[desert gulch]

ill compete against 16 series gpus only

sorry

[earnest olive]

hold on

[south cliff]

why

[earnest olive]

i'm about to destroy you with the ultimate flex

[desert gulch]

o?

[earnest olive]

LEGENDARY

[desert gulch]

sheeeeeesh

[south cliff]

is that hard?

to get?

[desert gulch]

very

[earnest olive]

it's a world record technically

[south cliff]

my friiend is getting a laptop 3070

[earnest olive]

this is my best 16 series result lol

i sure hope any 5700xt beats it

[desert gulch]

lol

[south cliff]

why do yo hate 16 series?

[desert gulch]

whered i say i hate them? lol

[earnest olive]

i remember when my main rig was running this combo

[south cliff]

well not hate them but dislike them

[desert gulch]

sheeesh

[desert gulch]

i dont dislike them lol

i am able to beat them in a benchmark tho

[south cliff]

well alot of people can

[worthy vector]

it workedddd

[earnest olive]

i miss my b450 tomahawk max 😔

[worthy vector]

tysm

[earnest olive]

r/amd's favorite board for pushing 1.8v through a ryzen 5 3600

[south cliff]

thats good to hear

[worthy vector]

like omg that thing has been bothering me for the past

like

4-5 hours

[south cliff]

lol

[worthy vector]

it gave me a really bad headache

[south cliff]

yeah dont get to frustrated

[earnest olive]

one time i had 6 brand new parts arrive dead on arrival for a build

it was not a fun time troubleshooting which parts were bad and which were good

[south cliff]

lol how log did it take?

[earnest olive]

it took 12 hours and one finger injury

i was rushing bc i was stressed and accidentally cut myself on a heatsink fin

quit pc building for a few months after that one

[south cliff]

should i try a diffrent driver istead of the latest one?

[worthy vector]

ong tho thank you

[earnest olive]

i'm still on nvidia driver 472.12

i was having problems with 496.98

[south cliff]

yeah but my gpu is acting up

[earnest olive]

yeah

i went back because i was having problems on newer drivers

[south cliff]

i update driver then it losses conection to fp and shuts off

dp

[earnest olive]

my 3080 lost more than 50% of its performance on driver 496.98

have you checked for display related errors in event viewer?

[south cliff]

whats that

[earnest olive]

just search event viewer in windows search

it's built in to windows

[south cliff]

where do o go to

on it

how do i use it?

[earnest olive]

go to administrative events under custom views

and don't freak out because having thousands of errors or warnings is normal

most of them are completely benign

just look for recent display or nvlddmkm errors

[south cliff]

nope

nothing

[earnest olive]

check your display cable connection then

might be slightly loose on either end

[south cliff]

im just going to see if another driver works

[visual tundra]

Ok im in bios 😅😅

Ok its downloading it 😭😭 lets go

Hopefully that solves the problem

[visual tundra]

Lets hope it fixes the problem 😭

[narrow rose]

I have faith

in you not amd or their quality assurance team

@worthy vector glad your ssd is good to go

[worthy vector]

yes ty

but

are those cheap activation keys legit

for windows'

[narrow rose]

many are yes

[visual tundra]

I got a 1 tb ssd wd blue

[worthy vector]

where can i find one thats available in cad (canadian dollars)

[visual tundra]

9 percent more to go

[worthy vector]

like do you know any websites?

[narrow rose]

@worthy vector $15 US is a normal price and make sure the seller has multiple positive reviews.

[fringe iris]

can someone send me the appropriate link to QuickSync for Intel? I cant find the official download

[visual tundra]

Im rebooting 😅😅

[narrow rose]

@worthy vector keysoff

[wide sparrow]

Hm

Seems good here

Moving on

[desert gulch]

yup, i agree

lets keep moving

mod team rolling out

[wide sparrow]

hhmm

Yes

[narrow rose]

its not really something you download its in intels drivers

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000029338/graphics.html

this will tell you how to find it if you have it and enable it

the water mark gets real annoying eventually

doing our part by low key not supporting piracy by only giving the names not the links lol

thats true someone paid for those keys at one point in time

[visual tundra]

Ok so i think the problem is the mouse

[narrow rose]

other mouse not disconnecting?

[visual tundra]

No

I think the wire is messed up

[narrow rose]

yeah there was a lot of reddit talk about that cord having issues on that mouse specifically

[visual tundra]

Wait no it works not

But i have this problem also for awhile

[narrow rose]

I know this will sound dumb but did you update the driver?

https://www.nvidia.com/Download/driverResults.aspx/185108/en-us

that link is to your latest driver@visual tundra

[warm brook]

I wish there was a pump and reservoir that actually looked good

Honestly the biggest reason why I have not done custom water cooling yet, i hate how a res looks inside the case

[stoic island]

Corsair is meh for their custom loop parts, high price for meh quality

[south kite]

That’s why most use distribution plates now

[turbid vector]

So here's a weird one. My board has an RGB fan controller box. It has three inputs, RGB, power and USB. I cannot tell you where the USB is supposed to plug in from. There is a type C header on the board, but the fan controller is micro.

[stoic island]

..?

Check along the bottom of the board for usb 3.0/2.0 headers if that's what you're looking for

[potent portal]

Probably goes to the usb 2.0 header, usually on the bottom of the board

[stoic island]

sometimes along the right side

If its a thick plug that's blue typically, its 3.0, if not and smaller, usb 2.0

[turbid vector]

Uh... I don't see that. I'm trying to find the wire.

[stoic island]

3.0 header looks like left, 2.0 connector looks like right

[turbid vector]

Neither.

Can't post images yet, so...

[warm brook]

Are there any distribution plates that are solid black? Most of them are transparent

[stoic island]

Just to check, how do you know it's usb?

[bleak hound]

@fossil cedar you there?

[turbid vector]

Check your dms.

[bleak hound]

I saw a 6500xt for 230$ should I upgrade my sisters 970 with it?

[stoic island]

From @turbid vector

yay discord decided to flip it

anyways looks like external usb for some reason

well, might just be usb-c

[turbid vector]

Nah. Definitely mini.

Or micro. Can't quite keep those straight.

[stoic island]

So its not round? bit hard to tell in the photo there

[turbid vector]

I'm thinking the USB can be skipped, for it might be for an external controller.

Not round.

[stoic island]

maybe usb mini-a

[visual tundra]

Nope never did that

[stoic island]

but it feels kinda weird it doesn't use an internal usb connector considering its supposed to be inside the case

[turbid vector]

Yeah really. I'd share more photos if it wasn't complicated.

[gritty spruce]

does anyone here have experience with aorus mobos?

[turbid vector]

So Newegg sent me a European PSU.

Guess building stops for now...

[warm brook]

oof u can buy a converter for the plug tho

should be the only thing different?

[turbid vector]

120v VS 240v.

[warm brook]

oh yikes, well you can also invert that but

Too much work

lol

you’re better off returning it like you plan

does anyone know of any cpu blocks with a screen like nzxt x72 aio?

for 1700 socket

like x72 in the sense that it’s customizable

[frank stirrup]

Ask your question

[frank stirrup]

Use it

Dont matter

Should run off 120v line

120v psus have trouble with 240v

Not the other way around

[gritty spruce]

im having issues trying to start the system im building for a family member its seem that everything should be plugged in and im just getting a blink of purple from my mobo without any other indication of it getting any power. Its a Z590 aouros ax mobo and an evga gold 850 and im narrowing it down to something is wrong with either of those

[frank stirrup]

Cpu and gpu?

[gritty spruce]

no lights on those at all

[frank stirrup]

What cpu and gpu

[gritty spruce]

i had everything installed but i took out everything but the ssd and the cpu and still nothin

ohhhh

10700k and 2080ti

[frank stirrup]

Ram?

[gritty spruce]

aouros pro ax, corsair 2x16 3200 cas 18, evga 850 80+ gold

and a cosair h60 for cooling (thats all best buy had dont judge me)

[frank stirrup]

Also u sure ur front pannel connectors are proper?

[gritty spruce]

oh yea but like im not even getting the change to test anything

it boops purple and thats it pretty much no other responses

[frank stirrup]

Cleared cmos?

[gritty spruce]

yep first thing i tried

im just trying to find something before i tear down my rig im on now just to test parts

[frank stirrup]

Remove the gpu

And try only i gpu

[worthy vector]

how do i fix my blue tooth thing

[gritty spruce]

ive removed the gpu already

and i have verified the gpu works in a system a week ago

[frank stirrup]

can you double check the front pannel connectors for me?

[frank stirrup]

depends on whats wrong with it

[worthy vector]

uh

hold on

[gritty spruce]

it is strange it gave me 2 reset switches without a power one on this case

case is a 465x btw

maybe they mislabeled them imma try using it in a power switch spot

[frank stirrup]

any one reset switch can go to power button

they be the same

[gritty spruce]

alright time to try that

[worthy vector]

i cant send a pic

can i dm it to u

[frank stirrup]

sure

[turbid vector]

Going to return this either way. I'm likely to at some point in the future make the mistake of plugging it into a 120v outlet and blowing it.

[frank stirrup]

bruh

its fine with 240V

how is a lower output voltage outlet gonna blow it up

if you input more than 240w then it could blow up

below that ur fine

and im pretty sure psus are universal

they all be 240W

[earnest olive]

lower voltage is how my 24pin cable melted

the psu might be fine and might have 120v/240v switching modes

but it's wrong to assume lower voltage is always safe

[frank stirrup]

strange

[earnest olive]

lower voltage means more amps required for the same power which can cause some unfun things if something can't handle that many amps

[frank stirrup]

oh true

you can check on the label

should list safe input voltages

[earnest olive]

again not commenting on the psu because i don't know without seeing it

but in general lower voltage is not safe

[frank stirrup]

thats fair

[frank stirrup]

i forgor about dis

[turbid vector]

At 240v, the psu lists 9a.

So better to get the right model. There is no volt switch either.

[worthy vector]

why am i experiencing such high ping on roblox

like bruh

[obsidian wigeon]

roblox servers suck

[worthy vector]

no no like

i never had this ping

on a laptop

i just built a pc

and like

i dont understand this

[twin sedge]

Well is the pc using ethernet?

[worthy vector]

no

using this

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07NFMSGGR?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2_dt_b_product_details

[twin sedge]

Maybe you need to update the adapter drivers

[worthy vector]

i checked the speed test thing

and it was fine

i had 14ms

[worthy vector]

how do i do that

it crashes when i increase my graphics quality

wdym

[twin sedge]

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/update-drivers-in-windows-ec62f46c-ff14-c91d-eead-d7126dc1f7b6

Just find your wifi adapter and follow the steps

[worthy vector]

nope ping

[worthy vector]

uh how

[twin sedge]

Ping shouldn’t affect graphics preformance

[twin sedge]

It should be under the network adapter section

[tight sorrel]

they are.. 120-240v

[worthy vector]

I FIXED IT

I FIXED ITTT

[frank stirrup]

@gritty spruce did you fix it?

[worthy vector]

Idk I updated some things in the settings then restarted

Then i went to nvidia and changed the hz

And it worked

It was at 60 hz bruh 💀

[frank stirrup]

roblox dont go over 60 anyway

[obsidian wigeon]

what you talked about isn't even ping

anyway yeah

[gritty rover]

https://www.bestbuy.com/site/msi-b550-gaming-plus-socket-am4-usb-c-gen-2-amd-atx-gaming-motherboard-pcie-gen-4-black/6424047.p?skuId=6424047 I’m having a hard time figuring this out but does this mother board support wifi or would I have to get a wifi adapter

If it doesn’t I’ll a different one and get a wifi card adapter (?)

[frank stirrup]

no wifi

[topaz kestrel]

most of the time if it has wifi it will say in the name

[frank stirrup]

or ax

[gritty rover]

Ohhh okie

Thanks

I saw LAN and got confused

[gritty spruce]

yes that was the longest build ive ever done xD

[gritty rover]

Is the Asus prime Z590-P a good motherboard for an intel icore5 processor

I plan on upgrading in the future n stuff and I have a small budget

[little osprey]

yes thats good

[gritty rover]

Sweet, thanks!

[mossy venture]

Not really

Z590s are overkill for i5s

A b560 would make more sense

[gritty rover]

I can’t find another budget motherboard

For intel

Processor

[mossy venture]

Give me a sec

[gritty rover]

Oki

Oh wait I think I found some

[mossy venture]

This works https://pcpartpicker.com/product/ybjBD3/asus-prime-b560m-a-micro-atx-lga1200-motherboard-prime-b560m-a

If you want budget

[gritty rover]

:D!

Thanks

[mossy venture]

Just keep in mind

B660 and 12400f isn't that much more

[little osprey]

just so you know its an matx board meaning its really small

[mossy venture]

For much better performance

[topaz kestrel]

wait

woops

[gritty rover]

Ohhh

[obsidian wigeon]

matx isn't really small

itx is the really small one

[topaz kestrel]

why did you send this board if you're doing intel?

thats am4 lol

[obsidian wigeon]

i have experience with matx myself, it's not actually that small

[gritty rover]

I was asking… then I realized it’s am4

[topaz kestrel]

im using the b560m pro vdh wifi, msi

its nice

and cheap

[obsidian wigeon]

besides i don't think they need atx anyway

[gritty rover]

That’s why I mentioned the Z590

[gritty rover]

Aye nice

[mossy venture]

Another decent board

[topaz kestrel]

and it has wifi

[little osprey]

yeah

[gritty rover]

:ooo ohh what was the price range for it

[topaz kestrel]

i only use the bluetooth tbh tho

[little osprey]

you could go with that if you dont wanna buy a wifi card

[topaz kestrel]

mine was 99 gbp but idk what it is in usd

[gritty rover]

Ohhhhh

Ima look it up rq

[topaz kestrel]

mhm

[little osprey]

119 on amazon rn

[little osprey]

same on newegg

[gritty rover]

Oh sweet!

Thanks

[topaz kestrel]

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/user/boiledgoose/saved/#view=hXc899

i wouldnt copy everything i did

since i cheaped out on case

but like

theres a start

[gritty rover]

Ohhhh okie okie

I’m getting the icore 5 processor and the b560m pro motherboard

[topaz kestrel]

surprisingly the cooler is fine

for how cheap i payed

[gritty rover]

Getting gpu by this month

Oohh!

[bleak hound]

What gpu?

[gritty rover]

Ayo that cooler does look really nice

[topaz kestrel]

ugh i have work soon

ffs

[topaz kestrel]

ill send a pic of my pc 1 sec

in its old case without the fans/extensions

[bleak hound]

It's not unless you put it into a decent sized case

[gritty rover]

I had my hopes on a 3050 but I’m doubting I’ll get it 😭 I’m just… going to try and get it during a drop, I was gonna get better gpu some other time

[topaz kestrel]

and yes i know

im intelligent

the box

perfect idea

[gritty rover]

Ooohhh 😳

The boxxx

[topaz kestrel]

3050 pretty poopy water ngl

[little osprey]

yeah i was thinking that

[gritty rover]

Yea 😔 but this is my first pc and I’m going to upgrade later on

[little osprey]

the box to cover cables 🤯

[bleak hound]

If you like white stuff

[bleak hound]

Only for a picture lmao

[topaz kestrel]

nah it was to hold the gpu xd

[little osprey]

oh lol

[topaz kestrel]

its still in the pc rn

[obsidian wigeon]

well but still atx is just bigger really, matx boards has enough features

[gritty rover]

OH

[little osprey]

white builds just look nice

[topaz kestrel]

the strix kinda heavy ngl

[little osprey]

but tbh some components cost more when theyre white

[gritty rover]

White builds

[topaz kestrel]

you mean all?

xd

[obsidian wigeon]

white fee

[little osprey]

yeah pretty much

[gritty rover]

I kinda get scared I’ll dirty a white case

Or scratch it

[bleak hound]

This deepcool white colour is quite cheap

[topaz kestrel]

thats cus its a cheap cooler anyway

lmfao

[gritty rover]

Ohhhhhh

[topaz kestrel]

cant exactly ramp up the price on a $20 cooler xd

[gritty rover]

I’m going all black for my pc

[obsidian wigeon]

that cooler is cheap

[topaz kestrel]

same

[obsidian wigeon]

but white versions of something always costs more

[topaz kestrel]

just waiting on the case now

[obsidian wigeon]

or almost always

[bleak hound]

It looks hella expensive in real life

[obsidian wigeon]

im not saying it looks bad

just saying that it's cheap

[gritty rover]

Yeahh

[bleak hound]

It's keeps this 10400 under 60degrees always

[gritty rover]

Black just looks sleeker imo

[topaz kestrel]

mine keeps my 11400 under 58c i think? on prime 95 all core

it was 58 or 60

i forgot

[gritty rover]

I forgot what I was doing…. Something with motherboard

OH AMAZON

[bleak hound]

White mobos are lot expensive then black ones I will agree on that

[gritty rover]

Oki yeah I’ll get motherboard etc start of next month

[gritty rover]

Wait white mobos exist?

I did… not know that

That’s unsettling

[obsidian wigeon]

not exactly white

[bleak hound]

They do

[topaz kestrel]

n7 white

[obsidian wigeon]

their pcb's aren't white

[topaz kestrel]

gig visions

[obsidian wigeon]

just the cover really

[topaz kestrel]

^

[bleak hound]

There is also strix white from Asus

[gritty rover]

It “99@:!@8@

[obsidian wigeon]

uh no

asus has no white pcb mobos

[gritty rover]

Wait happened to my keyboadd

[topaz kestrel]

i dont think any mobo has a white pcb

from my knowledge

spells knowledge wrong

LMFAO

[bleak hound]

Same I just said it looks white

[gritty rover]

I’m looking at the white mobos and it’s kinda like looking at a chicken without feathers

[little osprey]

https://www.empowerlaptop.com/p/msi-b360-gaming-arctic/?gclid=Cj0KCQiAraSPBhDuARIsAM3Js4q5_kOLLd9kG-VJBHxPZLy0xTkyj1VOURI6IuqKstiDgCMdRx4YnfMaAu17EALw_wcB

white pcb

lol

old mobo tho

[obsidian wigeon]

only msi did it yeah

[gritty rover]

It’s like discord light mode

[topaz kestrel]

Happy keeb and moos

MOOS

[gritty rover]

Yoooo nice keyboard!

Looks like it sounds nice

[topaz kestrel]

it does

[gritty rover]

Ayeeeee

[topaz kestrel]

sounds like a keyboard

OH DAMN I FORGOT I HAVE WORK BYE

LMAO

[gritty rover]

Is it a custom

[topaz kestrel]

kinda

[gritty rover]

Oh have nice day at work!

Ohhhh

[topaz kestrel]

its customised

foam

tape

lubed

getting new stabs soon

ok bye fo real

[gritty rover]

😳yooooo! Nice

See you later 👋

I wanna customize a keyboard in the future

Maybe in the fall

[topaz kestrel]

It’s fun

[gritty rover]

Just brought my cpu this morning, feeling nice

[little osprey]

I’m bidding on a 10850k it’s a used chip but the price on it is such a steal. I’m dreading the purchase of the GPU for my build.. saving that for last

[tight sorrel]

10850k is good

[little osprey]

I bought the Lian Li O11 Air mid ATX .. they were sold out everywhere but then I found one on a site that seemed pretty legit. We will see tho lol

[fossil cedar]

What price?

It's not worth as much anymore because of 12th gen

[little osprey]

$210

[fossil cedar]

Okay that's nice

[little osprey]

Yeah. Fingers crossed on it.

That saves me some money to throw at a GPU lol

[red oasis]

Since Sata power cables have multiple male outputs can I use one cable for two ssd or should I use another one for my second ssd?

[fossil cedar]

You can use all of them on the same cable

[red oasis]

Thanks :)

[fossil cedar]

Np

[molten gate]

if no one minds can anyoe tell me a good gaming mouse with 2 sidebuttons under 60 bucks but around like 188g weight

[little osprey]

I used this one for a while before but its wired: https://www.logitechg.com/en-us/products/gaming-mice/g502-hero-gaming-mouse.910-005469.html
Theres this one as well: https://www.razer.com/ca-en/gaming-mice/razer-basilisk-x-hyperspeed/RZ01-03150100-R3U1 (I think its cheaper on amazon or best buy)

Ive used steelseries as well but wasnt too big of a fan of it. the Rival 3 I think?

[ocean umbra]

Pago I’m stupid. The sata power cables that came with my prebuilt don’t fit my HDD, I just need to go out and buy a female to male adapter right?

I’m just too frustrated to think so I’m askin

[fossil cedar]

Nope they're all the same

[ocean umbra]

Then why won’t it fit 🤣

[fossil cedar]

Make sure you're not trying to put it in the sata data port instead of sata power

[ocean umbra]

I’m sure

[fossil cedar]

There's no proprietary hard drives so

[little osprey]

is the ryzen 7 5800x worth it?

[mossy venture]

not atm

[fossil cedar]

Not unless you have an empty am4 board waiting for it

5800x 3d is coming soon, would be worth if you have an am4 board

[thin oar]

5800x3d>5800x

it’s just a wait until spring

still on zen 3, yet it’ll most likely be better than the 5950x

[mossy venture]

in single core

not in multi core

[thin oar]

true

it has half the cores

Performance wise, it should be better than the 12900k

but we don’t necessarily know when 13th gen is gonna release

as well

[frank stirrup]

https://tenor.com/view/minion-what-despicable-me-gif-4905187

[thin oar]

damn

[earnest olive]

hard to make any conclusions about the 5800x3d

there was a significant clock speed sacrifice made to add that cache

will probably not be better than the 5800x in everything

[near nacelle]

I haven't been on here in a long while, but I was hoping I could get some help and advice finishing up a PC build

I have what I already bought on pcpartpicker, but could use some help with the main things: CPU GPU and Motherboard

[strong raft]

Yea post the pcpp link

[near nacelle]

k

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/nNm4K3

I haven't been up-to-date on GPU and motherboards, so I thought one of you guys who've been doing this more could help out

I got a remaining budget of 1,200 sum; and I don't need headphones or a keyboard, but I have monitors written down that I could get a second opinion on

[little osprey]

ok so 1200 for all those parts youre missing?

[near nacelle]

yuss and i've got 2-3 monitors I was looking at I just want to know what you think is recommended.

The AOC 24G2, the GigabyteG24F, or any suggesstions

I've seen people recommending the AOC a while back but it was initially unavailable in my area at the time

[little osprey]

idk much about monitors, so you can ask those in the #old-monitors-and-tv channel

[strong raft]

https://www.amazon.com/BitFenix-Formula-Standard-BF-650G-BP-FM650ULAG-7R/dp/B0776XSRJJ

[near nacelle]

Chillin the 1440 Gigabyte monitor?

[little osprey]

this is non modular right?

[covert vapor]

What is that video on the amazon page

[little osprey]

LOL

made it in imovie

[strong raft]

For $75ish there's quite a few psu options. By time I'm home on pc someone else will probably help a lot. Lol. Ram is decent, but 3600c16 of some sort is good (ballistix). Prices and sales vary a lot. Cpu+ mobo can be 12400(F) & msi pro z690-A or cpu can be 12700(F) for $120ish more. (Mainly if doing lots of stuff needing the extra cores on the i7)

[little osprey]

doesnt seem that mobo is on pcpp unless im dumb and cant find it

[little osprey]

only b660s show up when i look up msi

[strong raft]

Perhaps scratch the bitfenix. Could deffo get a good modular corsair or evga.

[little osprey]

could also go with an ssd for a boot drive

[strong raft]

Oh my bad. Already have that. Gpu market is wack, but 12gen Intel now is a pretty easy choice. Mobo is the toughy. B660 mobos aren't too common or cheap overall

[near nacelle]

*Frantically jotting notes while the tech ppl do their magic

[little osprey]

is the seagate the only drive you have?

[strong raft]

Yeah Mig do you have an ssd at all. Huge difference as boot drive. Could do a semi cheap 500GB as boot like the SN550/570, mp33, gotta check a few others for pricing.

[little osprey]

could even go for an nvme if you have the budget

[near nacelle]

its the only one I have bought and in my house rn, if something else is suggested ill just use it on another build for family's computer

[strong raft]

Tbh nvme is basically cheaper overall than sata drives, if that's what you meant. Sata ssds, not sata hdds of course. (I mean normal older "pcie 3" ones"

[little osprey]

you can still use that drive as a place for games or other stuff. the only reason we suggest an ssd as a boot drive for windows is that itll just load faster and be more crisp

[near nacelle]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/xpYLrH/crucial-p1-500gb-m2-2280-solid-state-drive-ct500p1ssd8 this is the SSD that was suggested to me a long time ago not sure if its still good for the current build

[little osprey]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/fsqhP6/team-mp34-512-gb-m2-2280-solid-state-drive-tm8fp4512g0c101

[stoic island]

Not good any more for the budget market, mp33 tends to be cheaper

[near nacelle]

gotcha

So the mp33 or the 34 that Atom suggested?

[strong raft]

Sales changed, but for example a couple weeks ago i got the SN550 for $43

[little osprey]

both are fine but 33 is a little cheaper

[stoic island]

Not on sale any more but 83$ for 1tb mp33
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07XHMBQK3

Was 70$ yesterday

[little osprey]

might as well go for the 34 1tb for 90??

[stoic island]

It is what it is

[strong raft]

I wouldn't worry about, especially if they're used to hdds mostly.

[near nacelle]

whats hdds real quick?

[little osprey]

hard drive

[strong raft]

Ssd solid state drive, no moving parts just memory chips basically

[near nacelle]

mk

[little osprey]

that seagate you have is one

2.5in ssd's are faster and nvme's are fastest

[near nacelle]

yeah mk. so the seagate is fine as it is, but I need an ssd the mp34 or the mp33

correct?

[little osprey]

yeah it would be best to have one as a boot drive

[near nacelle]

alright im writing it down

[strong raft]

I'd go mp33. Sequential speeds that are listed will be plenty, and then some. Later on you get a newer better nvme ssd & it'll be a bigger upgrade, possibly (general use sequential isn't really an issue, latency & "random" specs are). 970 evo Plus & SK Hynix P31 are currently 2 examples maybe if you want to look those up sometime.

[little osprey]

ok we'll keep it at mp33. youre confusing the man with the tech language lol

[near nacelle]

not completely

i know EVERYTHING has to have a model x43PQR-yadayada

The main components and specs I understand*, just get thrown off when every new word comes in

[stoic island]

basically, don't trust advertisement

good rule of thumb for everything tbh

For example, sure, it might advertise 3000mb/s seq, but you're never really going to use that, and rnd performance might fall far behind other drives that also advertise 3000mb/s seq

[near nacelle]

Yeah I look up people who have it and hands-on did testing or review without sponsor

So what I got rn is: for ssd get the mp33 -it'll be enough and then some until a later upgrade. Mobo in general are everywhere rn, but chillin suggested the MSI PRO Z690

[stoic island]

tom's hardware and techpowerup will be your main sources

[little osprey]

with the 12400f btw

that was the cpu mobo combo

[stoic island]

get the ddr4 varient and get ddr4 ram for now

[near nacelle]

what was the CPU mobo suggestion again?

intel 12?

[strong raft]

I5-12400, F model would be no iGpu
Pro 690-A is a good pick at $220ish. Obviously you can go B660 instead (for cheaper). 12gen is pretty new so mobos are sort of limited & prices are higher than 10/11gen stuff

[little osprey]

i5 12400f right?

[stoic island]

12400 no suffix ideally

[little osprey]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/pzstt6/msi-mag-b660m-mortar-wifi-ddr4-micro-atx-lga1700-motherboard-mag-b660m-mortar-wifi-ddr4 good alternative?

[stoic island]

its only going to save 40$ so meh

waiting for cheaper b660 boards atm

where's dat b660m pro vdh wifi >:P

[little osprey]

cheapest msi i saw was 140 right now

[stoic island]

I'm waiting for a decent 120-140$ b660 board

[little osprey]

wait no it was asus

[strong raft]

Do you already get the Z vs B mobo thing? Basically Z690 to overclock a "K" cpu, but unneeded with the 12400 for instance. Features vary per mobo either way.

[little osprey]

b660 dont support overclocking iirc

[stoic island]

except weird niche cases that people are currently messing around with

[strong raft]

Exactly, but can adjust the turbo settings up a bit & cpu power limit sometimes, if we cared to jack up overall wattage also. I'm thinking Mig won't be worried about that (yet)

[near nacelle]

I wouldn't mind if I had to

[strong raft]

Modern turbo/boosting does a lot by itself. Power Efficiency goes way down as the PL/wattage goes up. A bit of "experimenting" is common.

[stoic island]

don't have to and probably shouldn't mess with it if you want stability

[little osprey]

so this is what we've suggested as of now, including monitor. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/2VwcC6

only thing missing is the gpu

[near nacelle]

I got all that written down and I still got a modest chonk for that. would you like me to make a seperate list with the new parts in it?

[little osprey]

sure

[near nacelle]

oh and you guys said my Cx550M is fine as it is?? or would it mess with the performance and i need a slightly bigger one?

[strong raft]

That 550 is probably plenty for the 12 gen & a "normal" gpu.

[little osprey]

i mean you already have it. right?

^

[strong raft]

For example a gtx 970 might peak around 170w, if that. Seems like a "decent" psu overall.

[little osprey]

a 650w wouldve been ideal

if you want a newer card or 20 series card

[near nacelle]

And the BitFenix 80plus cooler?

[little osprey]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/2HbwrH/corsair-rmx-2018-650w-80-gold-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-cp-9020178-na promo on newegg for this one

would want a second opinion on this one tho

idk much about psu's as well

[near nacelle]

If I go over for the batt or have to get a bigger one, I can use the one I got for another build prolly

if it affects the whole thing i mean

[strong raft]

Probably can skip a bitfenix in this case. Current psu is fine depending on gpu. You can always scout deals then just do new psu if you get a gpu above a certain wattage.

[little osprey]

yeah like chillin said as long as the gpu is within wattage range then no need to switch it out

[stoic island]

MIR is meh but RMx good in general, practically equivalent to Bitfenix options though

[strong raft]

Mr1111 with the 411

[stoic island]

Wot

[strong raft]

411 = info

[stoic island]

Huh

[strong raft]

Nvrmind . Tried to say it before you did 😅. My personal humor attemp = crap

[near nacelle]

naw i got it👆

almost done moving stuff in pcpp, cant find how you got the mobo doesnt show up on the catalogue

[little osprey]

make a custom part, should be toward the bottom of the list

[near nacelle]

ill just write that down as a thing I could upgrade to later

oh mk

i'm lookin

[near nacelle]

I miiight actually. unless there's some tech day coming out I don't know of. I got some of my parts on a 4th july sale, but idonthinkimwaitingthatlongtbh

[strong raft]

I forget but theres a button some where to add a component, perhaps hit the mobo button then see if you can just type in a name and/or price. Pcpp isnt working for me currently. Spotty service at the post office

[near nacelle]

yeah me neither I searched the thing with F couldnt find nothing

[little osprey]

what are you looking for?

[near nacelle]

where to add custom part for mobo

[little osprey]

all the way at the bottom

[near nacelle]

OH i was on the search catalogue

[little osprey]

nah lol

after that click manually create part

on part type choose motherboard

[near nacelle]

its in now

[little osprey]

and add the price of the mobo so it adds up to the list

[near nacelle]

WOW that was so much easier to find when im on the right page

alright so I got everything but the GPU in

one sec:

[little osprey]

ok so im guessing this will be used as a casual gaming pc?

[near nacelle]

Indeed. My current laptop and house PC does not have enough juice to play games with my friends

they all got xboxes

i dont. but i can get a PC and crossplay while having it for college or my own projects

I am getting into music theory, and want to learn about coding

[little osprey]

so nothing too demanding

[near nacelle]

In terms of hardcore performance? not really. if it can stream (which I think the 6-core is capable of) or load moderately big games than yeah

I like what you guys did so far; I've been trying real hard to learn about this stuff since Base factory brand models are kinda Ptttttt

[strong raft]

Good news for me, just dropped case at ups to return & got the refund already

[near nacelle]

"Now *heheh.. This is EPIC."

had you been waiting a long time to do that? or was it quicker than you thought

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/CJk9Tn

[strong raft]

Started return a day or so ago, but I didn't expect the refund 1 hr after giving to ups. Case is large item so next time that'll be the last part I buy, and waiting on a certain price. For a 6c, good streaming but certain Nvidia gpus would help out w/ their* nvenc chip (nvidia encoding might be what it stands for).

[near nacelle]

Is there a specific line of Nvidia GPUs I should look at?

Because I might just have to get the motherboard as soon as it is available if it comes and goes

[strong raft]

Idk how much the 20 series nvenc was an upgrade so perhaps I'll say at least 10/16 series, overall quite an upgrade from the 900 series. However, the gtx 980 is around 1060 performance for example. Tbh Basically the worst time to buy a gpu in the past few years lol. This is when Ebay, facebook MP, craigslist, reddit hardwareswap is helpful

[stoic island]

Swap out the PSU and maybe change the case

[stoic island]

Anything this gen

[strong raft]

12gen mobos will only get more common & bit cheaper huh

[stoic island]

Well, 3050ti is an unknown in terms of how good it actually is, and 6500xt is crap, but other than that, anything from this gen will do

[near nacelle]

I can def do the PSU up to the 650W with that sale. But for the case I dont remember if it has to be a certain type or model

[stoic island]

Do Bitfenix formula gold for a good relatively cheap PSU

Case, prob want to do smth more like a p360a or p400a

[turbid vector]

Got a set of these, no idea which direction the air flow is:

[strong raft]

Fans, generally air blows towards the frame

[turbid vector]

So it's scooping the air as opposed to slicing it?

[strong raft]

Perhaps. Basically it'll blow towards the floor the way you have it

[turbid vector]

Yeah. Okay, let's mount these...

Okay, I think something is wrong. I can't get the screws in very far, and I feel like I should not be putting in more torque to force it.

Screws.

[stoic island]

Didn't come with longer screws?

And some fans you'll have to kinda screw into the fan

[turbid vector]

There are no threads, now that I look at it.

[near nacelle]

I took a look at the two case models and they pretty gud. Are there any other cases you'd suggest from a gen before or back?

[stoic island]

?

[near nacelle]

any other models youd suggest before I pick one?

[stoic island]

Mx330-g air for cheap case with not rgb fans, could go p300a and add some p12s but price would get you closer to p360a

[strong raft]

Usually fans aren't threaded so the 1st time you screw em in it'll take some effort. Perhaps put screws in the fans out the case 1st to give em threads. 👍

Phanteks does pretty good cases

[near nacelle]

Maybe I need a small break let me eat dinner before I finish the gpu and mobo

I'll be back in 35ish minutes

[stoic island]

Take your time

[turbid vector]

No psu yet, so excuse the lack of cable management.

[stoic island]

Who cares about cable management, good PC is good PC no matter how the cables look

[turbid vector]

Also want to shift the CPU block.

[near nacelle]

I have returned with a clean head. I think i'm ready to finish this

I did a small amount of research on the GPU and got mostly ppl suggesting the 900's like you said

[stoic island]

There's like a gradient tbh, like 980ti, 1080+, 2070+, 3060+

[turbid vector]

Speaking of clean, how's this?

[near nacelle]

The ones I've narrowed down top to bottom are: MSI gtx1050/ti, the GTX 960 4gb, and the Radeon Rx560

not a whole lot of BIG stuff, but its what I found that ppl are selling on amazon ebay and FB marketplace

again, I didn't do allot of mobo research but the two i wrote down were the B660 and the B550M. I could use You or anothers' help on mobo

[near nacelle]

should I try to go up from 980 range to the 1080 and look for those kinds of gpus?

[turbid vector]

I feel like there's a better setup for this. (Thumbscrews temporary)

[little osprey]

b550 is an amd motherboard

[near nacelle]

will it not be compatible with the stuff i got?

[little osprey]

if you plan on using intel then no

only b660 will work

also z series boards

[near nacelle]

I should focus on fininding z type, relatively new mobos then

"fininding"

[little osprey]

you couldve rotated the fans so the cables are more hidden

[turbid vector]

Cables aren't attached to anything.

[strong raft]

B660 is just not as common yet. Tbh I don't like their pricing either. That's why the pro z690-A is so popular. 1080 is a lot more than a 980, but I suggest 970/1060 at minimum because they spank the 960.

[near nacelle]

I think i understand. i get lost when ppl spank the 960

[strong raft]

24pin on gpus is so wild.

[turbid vector]

Ya. Gonna be an interesting challenge when the right psu comes in.

[stoic island]

Yes, don't look on ebay or amazon, tends to be massively inflated, fb marketplace can be decent, r/hws, and for new, 3060 is about your only real choice atm, shuffle main source

[near nacelle]

Yeah I went on Marketplace for looking at the gpus

i havent used r/hws before

I'll shoot for inbetween 1080+ and a bit below the 3060. I'd rather have an OK gpu from the last line up than barely a choice at the top. I still need help on a motherboard.

ill check marketplace and republish the pcpp list

Again, I'm looking for a specific model of gpu to match a z-mobo?

[strong raft]

I support that 1st part. . Not gpu, the cpu. K model usually, but the lowest 1 is 12600K and it's $250-300ish & it's actually ok to not do that. 12400 is a good $200ish option. Prices always vary also.

[little osprey]

any gpu will work on the motherboard

[strong raft]

Techpowerup has a 1 day old review of the 12400F (no igpu). 🤘

[digital crater]

Hey all, I'm shopping for a new gaming comp for myself for the first time, and I've decided to avoid the added effort of assembling my own. Anyway, I was thinking of settling on this prebuilt one https://www.newegg.com/clx-tgmsetrth0938bm/p/3D5-000B-001E0 . However it has no reviews and so I figured I should check if anyone here can point out red flags or recommend differently as I'm not as informed on this stuff. (sorry if this is the wrong channel for advice).

[obsidian wigeon]

that setup is fine

the case has bad airflow tho

but there's no 3090 rigs from abs rn

they're all outta stock, sadly

[digital crater]

ok, ty

[turbid vector]

Yeah, I was trying to figure out better alternatives for the airflow.

depends on what you wanna do with it

if gaming 11900k one would do

oh wait the intel one has 16 gigs of ram

eh, ignore that

[turbid vector]

Like do I do something unconventional and have only bottom intake?

[south kite]

If so I’d throw some really nice fans on there

[little osprey]

bottom intake would just be stopped by the gpu. idk 011 is weird to me

[turbid vector]

Are there better cases for EATX?

[strong raft]

I'm not a fan of the "side" intake, but a few cases are like that & it works good for liquid cooling. Usually 1 rad would be in that spot maybe. Quite a few cases suport Eatx. That's just a "wider" mobo

[desert gulch]

my biggest gripe with o11 is how overused it is

[little osprey]

it looks nice but i wouldnt use it

[turbid vector]

And twin closed 240/360 loops?

[little osprey]

i think the rad wouldve been better on the side

[turbid vector]

Which one, and which orientation?

[little osprey]

top rad and i guess intake

idk how your setup will be so if that side will be on a wall then it wouldnt be ideal ofc

[turbid vector]

It will be similar to my previous nest. Let me show you a photo.

[south kite]

More of a custom loop build

[little osprey]

i think for O11 ive seen people do side and bottom intake and top exhaust

[turbid vector]

So the Stryker here is on a metal grate, unmounted.

[strong raft]

Top + side would be better. Bottom is generally not sugggested, but I'm not 100% on that. Overall I think it's fine

Ikea signum under back of desktop. 👍

[turbid vector]

I am considering adjusting the gpu radiator so it blows in, but it would just go through the gpu turbine, our the case and miss the entire point.

[little osprey]

idk ive seen multiple people say side and bottom intake is the best config with top exhaust

[turbid vector]

Top exhaust won't change.

I mean, I can change the case, not too late for that.

[south kite]

Not really a case that’s great for 2AIO

[little osprey]

it would be best to put the top rad on the side since itll just be sucking in the hot air as exhaust

[strong raft]

Oh gpu is exhaust currently,?

[little osprey]

really?

[turbid vector]

So the gpu aio is just thrown in there as exhaust. It is not a permanent solution.

[south kite]

I’d intake Gpu

[little osprey]

yeah

[south kite]

It needs the coolest air

[little osprey]

yeup same with top rad

move it to the side

have those as intakes so it gets the fresh air

[south kite]

I like top rad and Gpu rad to side myself

[little osprey]

his top rad is exhaust. itll just be sucking in hot air

[turbid vector]

I can intake gpu, the concern is the turbine fan.

[south kite]

Honestly for the money I’d custom loop that and it solves your problem

[strong raft]

Rad exhaust isnt as hot as you think, but it blowing warm air at the stock gpu fan isn't great. 😅

[turbid vector]

So intake the gpu, supplement with a spare 120, get a pair of 80s for the back, power the system and go from there?

[strong raft]

I'd do gpu rad side, 2 plain intakes on bottom. Cpu w/ the 360mm should be fine

[south kite]

^^^^^

[little osprey]

yeah

you could even put a 120 on the back for an extra exhaust

[turbid vector]

Back won't take 120, or the gpu radiator would have went there.

[little osprey]

the rad is 240

[frank stirrup]

why you would ever buy a 120mm rad is beyond me

they be awful

[little osprey]

unless those fans on the gpu rad are not 120

[strong raft]

Atom, 120mm literally wont fit rear spot

[frank stirrup]

get an air cooler over 120mm aio

[little osprey]

im telling you o11 is weird to me

[frank stirrup]

something liek a fuma or a frost spirit 140 or somefing like that

[strong raft]

My pc with 4 fans is like the anime gif "look what they need to mimic fraction of our power, lol

[little osprey]

i only have 4 as well

3 intake 1 exhaust

[strong raft]

Same, 1 is right below gpu

[near nacelle]

Hey I'm back after looking around FB marketplace a bit.

[little osprey]

what case do you use?

[near nacelle]

am i allowed to send links from FB marketplace?

[strong raft]

O.g. RC 690 (lower hdd cage removed and case painted black

[little osprey]

oh damn

are one of those fans on the side panel?

[turbid vector]

Idea: Check this out on @Newegg: Corsair Obsidian Series 1000D CC-9011148-WW Super Tower Case, Premium Tempered Glass and Aluminum Smart Case https://www.newegg.com/black-corsair-obsidian-series-1000d-atx-super-tower/p/N82E16811139123?Item=N82E16811139123&Source=socialshare&cm_mmc=snc-social-_-sr-_-11-139-123-_-01212022

[near nacelle]

I found some gpus and motherboards that i'd like you guys to look at: see if they're ok for the build.

[strong raft]

Was a long time ago. Bottom intake is better/ez so it's not attached to panel

[little osprey]

ah alright

also why is that case 500 dollars

[near nacelle]

let me brind them up:

[turbid vector]

8 front fans, fans are on rails, it's a log going on here.

[little osprey]

oh its a case for a duel system

i didnt know that

[turbid vector]

I'd only be loading one.

[little osprey]

just get the normal 4000d

mesh front panels are better

[near nacelle]

[turbid vector]

4000d can't take a 240 mounted on the back.
