Check your manual for the front header pinout

forest lava Mar 28, 2022, 5:28 PM

#

That's the thing... I don't think it's part of that

#

It's separate from the power, reset, hdd led, etc

worn wave Mar 28, 2022, 5:28 PM

#

Its most likely power LED

#

Does it come from the front panel?

little osprey Mar 28, 2022, 5:29 PM

#

Ye hopefully

fossil cedar Mar 28, 2022, 5:29 PM

#

Budget?

little osprey Mar 28, 2022, 5:29 PM

#

i’m trying to decide if i should keep or get rid of the 9400f

fossil cedar Mar 28, 2022, 5:29 PM

#

What's the budget?

little osprey Mar 28, 2022, 5:29 PM

#

hhhh

#

around 1.2k usd

fossil cedar Mar 28, 2022, 5:29 PM

#

And what do you have currently? Like can you reuse ram or is it 2133 or something

#

Reuse storage maybe?

little osprey Mar 28, 2022, 5:30 PM

#

2666 not worth

#

i’ll reuse my hard drives

#

i might want an mp33 or 34 1tb tho

fossil cedar Mar 28, 2022, 5:30 PM

#

Would you keep 1650 and try get better priced gpu or?

#

Yeye

little osprey Mar 28, 2022, 5:30 PM

#

3060/ti

#

one of ‘em

#

whichever i can get when i’m buying parts

fossil cedar Mar 28, 2022, 5:31 PM

#

I mean you can fit them in a brand new build now

forest lava Mar 28, 2022, 5:31 PM

#

worn wave Its most likely power LED

Yes

fossil cedar Mar 28, 2022, 5:31 PM

#

When will you be buying

little osprey Mar 28, 2022, 5:31 PM

#

two months maybe rn i’m just deciding if it’s worth reusing 9400f or not

fossil cedar Mar 28, 2022, 5:33 PM

#

Ehh for 1.2k I'd say no

little osprey Mar 28, 2022, 5:33 PM

#

ill be buying a 200+ dollar case soonish lol

fossil cedar Mar 28, 2022, 5:33 PM

#

Obviously this list would be slightly different in 2 months but if you were to do rn I'll whip up a list for that

little osprey Mar 28, 2022, 5:35 PM

#

fossil cedar Ehh for 1.2k I'd say no

well i could spend 1.2k but i’m trying to save money, that’s all

#

So by going 9400f it would be roughly $950

fossil cedar Mar 28, 2022, 5:35 PM

Mmmm i might need a smaller case

#

like a microatx size that still fits atx parts

fossil cedar Mar 28, 2022, 5:48 PM

#

little osprey Mmmm i might need a smaller case

Thats pretty small, wayy smaller than torrent

fossil cedar Mar 28, 2022, 5:48 PM

#

little osprey like a microatx size that still fits atx parts

Why

little osprey Mar 28, 2022, 5:50 PM

#

My desk doesn’t have space for a bigger case

#

It barely fits my HP one

little osprey Mar 28, 2022, 5:51 PM

#

fossil cedar Thats pretty small, wayy smaller than torrent

I had the medium size one added, you sure?

forest lava Mar 28, 2022, 5:51 PM

#

As soon as I add the 24 pin connector, my build is as good as done

#

I just need to experiment with my RAM

fossil cedar Mar 28, 2022, 5:55 PM

#

little osprey I had the medium size one added, you sure?

I mean atx is just taller like

fossil cedar Mar 28, 2022, 5:55 PM

#

little osprey I had the medium size one added, you sure?

Ohh i didn't see that

#

You could do o11 air mini

hm, facts

i’ll have to research cases

i want it to be something pretty original and not overused ones

forest lava Mar 28, 2022, 6:26 PM

#

Hmmm

#

@bitter mason So only one pair of my RAM appears to be compatible at a time...

#

The C00LF is compatible with the other C00LF, same with B00LF to the other, but using all four of them doesn't allow the device to post

#

It just makes the PC stuck in a failed boot loop where the case fan spins

earnest olive Mar 28, 2022, 6:32 PM

#

is this after attempting to apply xmp or is this at default settings

#

have you tried a CMOS clear

fringe iris Mar 28, 2022, 6:32 PM

#

Every single time i load up my pc it does this how do i make it stop.. i have to constantly choose the other account

earnest olive Mar 28, 2022, 6:33 PM

#

maybe some of your ram slots are faulty, try slots 1/3 and 2/4 separately

forest lava Mar 28, 2022, 6:40 PM

#

earnest olive is this after attempting to apply xmp or is this at default settings

default

#

fortunately my 8x2 GB 2400 ram works

#

Why does it say I can't run windows 11

earnest olive Mar 28, 2022, 6:45 PM

#

enable tpm in bios or do a bios update to one that is windows 11 ready by default

forest lava Mar 28, 2022, 7:14 PM

#

I'm stuck on something else now

#

I'm not in a position where using the ethernet is viable so I bought a tplink internet adapter

#

Except I need to download a driver

jagged ember Mar 28, 2022, 7:14 PM

#

use your phone as a hotspot for your wifi

#

and plug it into your pc

forest lava Mar 28, 2022, 7:15 PM

#

I don't have a usb charger cord

#

I've been using a laptop charger for my phone for over a year now

jagged ember Mar 28, 2022, 7:15 PM

#

that's something I didn't think I'd ever hear tbh

#

I'm out of ideas then

forest lava Mar 28, 2022, 7:16 PM

#

lmao

#

Eh could a usb work?

#

If I were to download the driver from my laptop onto a usb?

little osprey Mar 28, 2022, 7:24 PM

#

Lol😂

earnest olive Mar 28, 2022, 7:27 PM

#

absolutely nobody in the world has ever used an O11

#

definitely get that one

#

make sure you also fill it up with some unifans for maximum uniqueness, that combo has never been seen before

little osprey Mar 28, 2022, 7:34 PM

#

Oh wow, really? I am bamboozled by this information

earnest olive Mar 28, 2022, 7:34 PM

#

don't forget your funko pop and supreme sticker on the front glass

little osprey Mar 28, 2022, 7:37 PM

#

funko pops are cringe

#

in pc builds

#

Now that my PC is mostly done... I have one final inquiry

#

GPU drivers

#

Do I need to install them?

#

Or is it pre-installed?

#

Somehow have Vsync off on desktop

stoic island Mar 28, 2022, 8:29 PM

#

Will need to download GPU drivers

frigid night Mar 28, 2022, 8:38 PM

I spy ketchup and mustard

#

I like boards of canada better tho

cerulean hatch Mar 28, 2022, 9:01 PM

#

can i ask a tech support related question here?

formal girder Mar 28, 2022, 9:02 PM

#

Go ahead

cerulean hatch Mar 28, 2022, 9:02 PM

#

i unplug and replug my computer a lot because i live with a lot of people and have to move around a lot. lately right after i plug it in it wont turn on right away. i have to wait like 10 or 20 seconds and then it will turn on

#

i havent had any issues besides that tho

#

is the power supply failing?

earnest olive Mar 28, 2022, 9:03 PM

#

smh

#

no more ketchup and mustard

#

sad

#

you should get red and yellow custom cables

earnest olive Mar 28, 2022, 9:03 PM

#

cerulean hatch i unplug and replug my computer a lot because i live with a lot of people and ha...

do you turn it off before you unplug it?

#

hopefully lol

cerulean hatch Mar 28, 2022, 9:04 PM

#

earnest olive do you turn it off before you unplug it?

yea ofc lol

earnest olive Mar 28, 2022, 9:04 PM

#

you'd be surprised

#

I saw someone who actually just turned off their PC by unplugging it

cerulean hatch Mar 28, 2022, 9:04 PM

#

lol probably right

earnest olive Mar 28, 2022, 9:04 PM

#

and didn't care when we said that can damage your components

#

like they would do that every night

cerulean hatch Mar 28, 2022, 9:04 PM

wow lol

little osprey Mar 28, 2022, 9:04 PM

#

No, ur epic

earnest olive Mar 28, 2022, 9:05 PM

#

unfortunately I don't really know the answer to your question

#

maybe the capacitors are charging up

#

dunno

cerulean hatch Mar 28, 2022, 9:05 PM

#

ok i might ask on a forum or reddit or something then

earnest olive Mar 28, 2022, 9:05 PM

#

if you turn it off, unplug it, then immediately plug it back in and turn it on, do you still have to wait?

#

or is it only after it was unplugged for a while

cerulean hatch Mar 28, 2022, 9:06 PM

#

i never leave it unplugged so i couldn't say

#

its about 50% of the time it happens tho

earnest olive Mar 28, 2022, 9:06 PM

#

weird

cerulean hatch Mar 28, 2022, 9:07 PM

#

yea idk maybe an electrical issue

#

like with the house wiring

#

is there an optimal amount of time you're supposed to press the power button? i've had experience with computers not turning on if you dont press it long enough

#

but then other times you hardly tap the power button for a second and it turns on

earnest olive Mar 28, 2022, 9:13 PM

#

i've handled like 50 different pcs at this point and power button is always instant

little osprey Mar 28, 2022, 10:00 PM

#

@little osprey WHat are you gonna be doing with the system you wanna build

#

Oh well yea, those boards can definitely be fun

#

Some of them have server chipsets yea, c602

#

well actually just 1 model i knw off the top of my head anyway

#

I know for sure they all support xeons, but iirc some of them have issues with the consumer lga2011 chips because of their different PCI-e lane count

#

you should be totally good with a xeon though

#

sounds good lol

#

Less than 10%

Not worth upgrading

i just wanna get rid of a prebuilt tbh

mossy venture Mar 28, 2022, 10:19 PM

should i keep the mother board

#

The psus super overkill for you but it sounds like you'd want to upgrade gpu soon

#

You'll be fine with a 3080 on that

would this be good

little osprey should i just stick to these specs and save up and upgrade as i go

not at all

the 3700x is a fine cpu, even for a 3080

little osprey Mar 28, 2022, 10:42 PM

#

ok

mossy venture Mar 28, 2022, 10:42 PM

the psu could definitely use an upgrade

#

as in gpu upgrade after the case, cooler and psu

that psu will cry with a 3080

little osprey Mar 28, 2022, 10:43 PM

#

ok

mossy venture Mar 28, 2022, 10:43 PM

not to say that you need to anytime soon, but out of cpu and gpu gpu should be the first to upgrade

$100

@little osprey for next time, just know, don't go by the brand name on the PSU because most of the time, they don't even make the PSU.
In this case, GA is some random andyson platform, GT is some random HEC platform, G3 is a CWT platform, G6 is a Seasonic platform

little osprey Mar 28, 2022, 11:11 PM

#

ok

#

thx

#

is g6 one i sent good

stoic island Mar 28, 2022, 11:12 PM

Yes

#

G6 is an improved seasonic focus platform iirc

little osprey Mar 28, 2022, 11:12 PM

#

if in the future i wanna run a 3700x and 3080

#

or maybe a 40 series

stoic island Mar 28, 2022, 11:12 PM

#

It'll work, you could do 850w if you want extra headroom, although not too sure on how next gen power connectors will work

little osprey Mar 28, 2022, 11:13 PM

#

ok

#

but 750 should be good right

#

850 is an extra 10

#

might as well

#

will a 140 mm psu go into the 4000d airflow ?

stoic island Mar 28, 2022, 11:15 PM

#

Ye, it'll fit up to 180mm

little osprey Mar 28, 2022, 11:15 PM

#

ok

#

now its down to the cooler

#

should i go 360mm?

stoic island Mar 28, 2022, 11:16 PM

#

4000d won't do 360mm top mount but you can do front mount

little osprey Mar 28, 2022, 11:17 PM

#

then 240 top mount and 3 120s in the front

#

prolly

stoic island Mar 28, 2022, 11:17 PM

#

As long as you don't do dumb ram you can do 280mm top mount if you want

little osprey Mar 28, 2022, 11:17 PM

wdym dumb ram

i have xpg ram

If you just want to swap out the 512gb drive with another 1tb drive, although with prebuilts, it can be a variety of different boards, all b560 boards I know have 2 or more m.2 slots usable with a 11th gen chip, therefore, you can just grab something simple like a mp33 1tb and swap it out, or add it on top for extra storage.

Ek-aio or Galahad basically

leaden canyon Mar 28, 2022, 11:26 PM

Which one would be better? I assume just adding it since it should have 2x slots also should i upgrade the fan on that ?

little osprey Mar 28, 2022, 11:30 PM

#

which one? or is there anything else thats better?

strong raft Mar 28, 2022, 11:32 PM

#

I'd probably lean towards the MSI. that deepcool also is sold by a 3rd party.

little osprey Mar 28, 2022, 11:33 PM

#

if my psu and case are from a 3rd party is that bad

#

@stoic island @mossy venture would this be good as a new psu,cooler, and case

#

or can i get a better deal

stoic island Mar 28, 2022, 11:36 PM

#

@earnest olive so I have a GPU oriented question this time

#

Which has greater performance per dollar? The 6700 XT or the 6600 XT

obsidian wigeon Mar 30, 2022, 2:42 AM

#

depends on price :v

potent portal Mar 30, 2022, 2:45 AM

#

At MSRP?

#

The 6700 XT is roughly 17-37% better (dependent on resolution) and has a msrp that is 32% higher than the 6600 XT

brittle copper Mar 30, 2022, 2:52 AM

#

obsidian wigeon depends on price :v

their respective MSRPs

brittle copper Mar 30, 2022, 2:52 AM

#

potent portal At MSRP?

Yes

#

Let’s say 1440P as a resolution

#

Although the differences should scale similarly

potent portal Mar 30, 2022, 2:53 AM

#

1440p has the 6700 XT at about 27% better

#

Because more VRAM

#

4k has it at the 37% better range

27%? Isn’t that kind of a stretch?

No? Why would it be?

Im almost done buying everything i need

#

i just need a graphics card

brittle copper Mar 30, 2022, 3:20 AM

#

@potent portal @obsidian wigeon so given that $480 is 26-27% higher than $380

#

Are both cards about the same in value?

potent portal Mar 30, 2022, 3:23 AM

#

If you're doing 1440p or higher roughly the same in value, mostly depending on what games you play. If you're doing 1080p 6600 XT is better value.

I built my pc the other day, and today I just added the last piece- the RTX 3060. I also have some ram coming to upgrade my 16gb to 32 😉 that's fun. Anyway, any idea what I should do with the other i5 6400 gtx 1050 machine? I thought about making it a server of some kind

little osprey Mar 30, 2022, 4:42 AM

#

You could do the server idea, like hosting a game server (minecraft, ark, etc) or a file server for sure

#

I use an old computer for a media server hooked up to my tv so i can watch videos i have saved to the hard drive on it

#

I use this thing called “Emby”

#

i’m pretty sure it’s free because i don’t remember paying for it

#

you can just host media on any computer on a network then grab a phone or different computer and play directly from that media server even if you’re not at home

desert gulch Mar 30, 2022, 4:47 AM

#

If you don't need a server, you could always give it/sell it to a family member or relative who needs a super entry level PC, or just sell it online

little osprey Mar 30, 2022, 5:19 AM

#

that too

Hi everyone, I finally am going to sell my old laptop which will give me enough money for a new pc.
Any thoughts on this build? I'm using it for CPU intensive games and for editing. I am planning on upgrading the graphics card later on when the prices drop and getting another memory of the same stick as well when prices drop.

orchid ruin Mar 30, 2022, 11:25 AM

Hmm

#

I will upgrade later to something more then 3080, when the prices will drop, is it worth it to buy now ddr5 or just upgrade in the future?

fossil cedar Mar 30, 2022, 11:26 AM

#

Ddr5 won't make that much of a difference if that's why you where wondering

#

Nah just stick with ddr4 now, could get better drr4 i was trying to keep budgeter

#

And if wanting to go 3080 or more then I'd get a better power supply

rose torrent did you not see him say 700/750??

sometimes people dont really know what they need

Yes future proof it is

desert gulch Mar 31, 2022, 3:09 AM

wooden quartz Well I’m just for what’s current Lu not like what’s coming next year

so yeah i can't really know how far current gen psus will go, but if you arent looking to upgrade to a higher power draw gpu soon, the cx550x would be my opinion

obsidian wigeon Mar 31, 2022, 3:14 AM

#

depending on current psu they have

#

i'd say keep it if it's good enough

desert gulch Mar 31, 2022, 3:15 AM

oh yeah ofc

obsidian wigeon Mar 31, 2022, 3:15 AM

Yeah well anything better then my hp oem psu

obsidian wigeon Mar 31, 2022, 3:17 AM

#

hp oem psu is okay, just tends to be low in wattage

wooden quartz Mar 31, 2022, 3:19 AM

Yeah it’s a 500 but only has a 4pin and I need a 8 pin for my new mobo b450 ds3h v2

obsidian wigeon Mar 31, 2022, 3:21 AM

you can use adapter cables

wooden quartz Mar 31, 2022, 3:21 AM

What would I need

This is my current power supply

obsidian wigeon Mar 31, 2022, 3:28 AM

well you have to buy one

that 550w one is a good recc

Dose anyone know if this power supply have a 8pin for mobo

little osprey Mar 31, 2022, 8:03 PM

#

Can you look at the cables

#

and look if one of them has a connector with 8 pins on it

#

then you will know if there is an 8 pin connector

potent portal Mar 31, 2022, 8:04 PM

#

Specifically one that has 4+4 and not 6+2

wooden quartz Mar 31, 2022, 8:07 PM

#

Yeah I only see 4pin then the 6+2 Just making sure I wasn’t overlooking it

#

New power supply it is I guess

potent portal Mar 31, 2022, 8:10 PM

#

You can run using just the 4 pin you know

#

If you use a processor that requires more power then the mobo will just power limit it

#

But if you're using a 65W processor you won't come near that limit

wooden quartz Mar 31, 2022, 8:12 PM

#

I’m just using a Ryzen 5 3600

#

3500*

potent portal Mar 31, 2022, 8:13 PM

#

Yeah 4 is plenty for that, even if you upgraded to 5600X

#

8 is for 105W processors, then there's 8+4 for extreme overclocking

wooden quartz Mar 31, 2022, 8:15 PM

Oh nice 500w 80 sires psu is Plenty with a 1070 GPu

little osprey Mar 31, 2022, 8:53 PM

If I have an ibuypower prebuilt rn and it has no problems would it be worth it to upgrade its weaknesses like the case,psu, and cooler now or should I wait until something happens and it’s a necessity to upgrade

That's pretty close to the throttle point at 87C, maybe a better cooler would be in order. 120mm AIO is a meme, there's literally air coolers that completely crush them.

little osprey Mar 31, 2022, 9:31 PM

#

yea

#

i was also thinking a new case

#

idk abt psu, you tell me

#

i wanna get a lian li 011 mini ( i love it too much to not get it) and a msi mag 240mm cooler

potent portal Mar 31, 2022, 9:32 PM

#

PSU is probably ok, even if it's a C tier unit, since your parts don't use all that much power

little osprey Mar 31, 2022, 9:32 PM

#

potent portal Mar 31, 2022, 9:33 PM

#

That would be a decent upgrade, but I'd suggest the arctic liquid freezer 2

It's better and quieter

little osprey Mar 31, 2022, 9:33 PM

#

what abt ek or lian li

potent portal Mar 31, 2022, 9:34 PM

#

The standard EK-AIO or the Galahad would be good options too, very strong performers

little osprey Mar 31, 2022, 9:35 PM

#

should i get a lian li o11 mini or air

#

regular looks better

#

but air will be better

potent portal Mar 31, 2022, 9:35 PM

Technically yes but I doubt it'll matter unless you plan to upgrade the GPU later to a 3080 or something

little osprey Mar 31, 2022, 9:35 PM

i wanna keep it and just build it up

earnest olive Mar 31, 2022, 9:39 PM

#

the cyberpower 120mm aio was holding like 81C in prime95

maybe you should try repasting it

perhaps factory paste job wasn't good

#

also clean out your pc if you haven't already

little osprey Mar 31, 2022, 9:40 PM

i did that before

i did clean it

earnest olive Mar 31, 2022, 9:40 PM

dust and dirt buildup can have a large impact on temps

did you take the fan off of the radiator and clean between?

little osprey Mar 31, 2022, 9:40 PM

yep

earnest olive Mar 31, 2022, 9:40 PM

#

i tested prime95 in starbucks while i was buying it

is your 3700x at default settings right now?

little osprey Mar 31, 2022, 9:41 PM

you can definitely try undervolting rather than spending money on a new cooler

little osprey Mar 31, 2022, 9:42 PM

id rather have a new cooler that keeps my cpu nice and cool without sacrificing performance

earnest olive Mar 31, 2022, 9:42 PM

no

they dont

#

so mine is worse

earnest olive Mar 31, 2022, 9:42 PM

you should undervolt ryzen cpus regardless of cooler

and now my 5800x is undervolted too

earnest olive Mar 31, 2022, 9:44 PM

I was like "where is the air intake?"

little osprey Mar 31, 2022, 9:44 PM

#

the only way air gets in is through two thin gaps at the front

air intakes are hidden on the top and bottom of the front panel lol

little osprey Mar 31, 2022, 9:45 PM

If you want to save some money for now sure, a better case would help a bit. Maybe you'll get some more boosting out of the CPU before it throttles.

if you're going to buy the o11 air mini

Fair enough

earnest olive Mar 31, 2022, 9:58 PM

#

@little osprey also check your bios and see what your pump speed is

#

if your pump speed is using a curve that doesn't let it hit 100% under load, then you could get some gains there
