?

[earnest olive]

you do realize b460 doesn't support ram frequencies above chip rated right?

you can buy 3600mhz ram but it's going to run at 2666 lol

[restive halo]

I didnt no

[earnest olive]

do some more research before you start flipping

[sharp bear]

How good are those parts combined? / Is it overall a good build?

https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/hGGF8r

[earnest olive]

are you gaming only?

@sharp bear

[restive halo]

@earnest olive https://pcpartpicker.com/list/zp2Dcb

[mossy venture]

Get the mx330-g air instead of that case

@restive halo

[restive halo]

the case and gpu I own already. everything else is optional. Just wanted to build something to sell and use these parts honestly

I am in no way a pc flipper. Just looking to build with the parts I have and possibly make a little money

[sharp bear]

I might stream and I mainly need the pc for work (gaming ofcourse too)

[restive halo]

I was just trying to come with options instead of coming in and saying hey build me something. You know.

[sharp bear]

so is it a good build?

[earnest olive]

what kind of work do you do

[regal junco]

Hi, so I am looking to replace my old nighthawk wireless adapter that got damaged due to a power surge, it's starting to drop connection, and I was looking to just get a new one. Issue is my new gaming pc doesn't have a disk port, would the new wireless adapter work with my current software for my internet connection?

[little osprey]

Wdym by disk port?

ethernet port?

Usb port?

[regal junco]

ok, so my new gaming pc i got last year, the company that built it, built it with no place to put pc discs into.

[south cliff]

disks?

[regal junco]

sorry typos.

[south cliff]

can you send a pic

oh wait you cant

hmm

[regal junco]

It's fine, pretty much, I have the software installed into my pc for my internet connection, all I need to do is buy another nighthawk.

[little osprey]

Oh, for drivers?

you can probably download those online

in most cases windows will auto install them

[regal junco]

Ok ty, the one I currently had got screwed over when my old gaming pc got fried due to a bad power surge.

[south cliff]

dang one time my xbox got fried and i couldnt play video games for like 4 months

[regal junco]

It wasn't fun.

I bought one of those power bricks that is meant to save your electronics is something happens..

yeah it destroyed that and went right into the pc

[sick tree]

I need help

[potent portal]

What brand was it? Most of them warranty connected electronics in case of a damaging surge up to a certain value

You could probably get APC or Amazon Basics to refund your cost of new parts, other brands might make you jump more hoops

[little osprey]

Yo wassup what you need help with

[regal junco]

It's been a bit at this point, but yeah it was a apc.
It was a year ago, and i went through enough crap with it

it was a headache and a half

[zenith flicker]

Are third party sellers on Newegg reliable if I want to buy something for my build?

I want to buy a video card

Which isn’t that technically considered a graphics card in #graphics-cards

[little osprey]

Typically no

I'd check their seller profile first

[obsidian wigeon]

If it's an official seller from the brand of the product

It's usually reliable enough

[strong raft]

Yea like buying Arctic fans on amazon and the seller is literally Arctic,

[zenith flicker]

Thanks

[high yew]

all cpu’s come w a stock cooler, no?

[obsidian wigeon]

Nope

Not all

Intel for example, doesn't include a cooler with their K SKUs

So does AMD for X that are above 5600X

5800X and above lacks a cooler in box

And most of the times, the stock coolers are not good

[little osprey]

Not that you would want to use a stock cooler with that anyways

it’s just not viable for those high power cpus to have stock coolers

The stock cooler can’t do its job well enough and companies aren’t willing to give you beefy coolers

[potent portal]

^ They'd have to raise the price of the CPUs to include better coolers, which would likely be tossed aside anyway. It's cheaper for the manufacturer and the consumer this way.

[little osprey]

Ya

Like apple

Reduce price of the product by not putting excess crap in the box

“crap” being charging bricks and earbuds…

[potent portal]

Right. Modern flagship phones usually don't include the chargers or even cables sometimes.

[little osprey]

Or even manuals 💀

QR code moment

[potent portal]

It only makes sense for everyone. Less cost, and less ewaste

[zenith flicker]

https://secure.newegg.com/wishlist/pd/39886709

Is this everything I need to build a pc?

I am also getting these

• Lian Li UNI Fan SL120 3 Pack White - with Controller (ARGB 120mm LED PWM Daisy-Chain)
  and
• Lian Li UNI Fan SL140 RGB x1 140mm Revolutionized Daisy-Chain ARGB Fan - Black

Will it all fit?

[desert gulch]

itll all fit but its not the best value at all

[potent portal]

That cooler

[desert gulch]

the one ppl top mount and have it die lol

cause msi has to be different ofc

[zenith flicker]

Wym

[desert gulch]

3080 is insanely overpriced, not much to gain from a 12700k over 12700f, etc

[potent portal]

There's way better parts for way less money

[desert gulch]

$160 for a 1tb drive is roughhhh

[zenith flicker]

What 3070 is good?

[desert gulch]

i thought you had a 3080 on your list?

[zenith flicker]

What’s the normal prices?

[desert gulch]

its a samsung drive so thats probably normal price

[zenith flicker]

Yeah but if it’s really over priced I would go to 3070

[desert gulch]

3080 12gb in general is overpriced

[potent portal]

If you can wait a day or two for EVGA to restock you can get a better priced 3080

[desert gulch]

3080 10gb can be alright, and 3070ti has been well priced recently

also id reccomend using pcpartpicker

sometimes other retailers have cheaper prices than newegg

[potent portal]

It's the 980 Pro, 4.0 tax

[desert gulch]

yeah

hence

[desert gulch]

.

unfortunately

corsair ram is rough too

[zenith flicker]

So any 3070ti would fit the pc?

[desert gulch]

it should yeah

id reccomend if you go 3070ti, go off evga restocks

[zenith flicker]

Ok I’ll look for it

[desert gulch]

other places dont have good prices usually

[zenith flicker]

Is it on newegg?

[desert gulch]

no

evga direct

evga.com

[potent portal]

They've been consistently restocking on Tuesday, Thursday, and some Fridays

[zenith flicker]

Thanks

[zenith flicker]

Oh yes! I found this https://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=08G-P5-3785-KL

[potent portal]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/vx8Bcb

[potent portal]

Yep that or the FTW3 model should come in stock in the next couple days. Check in the morning. They should be under $800.

[zenith flicker]

Is this better then mine?

[zenith flicker]

When it’s not in stock does it not show up to pay for it?

[potent portal]

Cheaper by far and just as good

Yeah when it's out of stock it won't have the add to cart button

[zenith flicker]

Well I might just buy what you just put

[zenith flicker]

This looks pretty similar

[desert gulch]

Most of it is changed

[potent portal]

The core specs are very similar yes, but models and brands are different.

[zenith flicker]

Yea

[earnest olive]

fal'cie is a smart guy

do what he says

[muted notch]

How do i select motherboard

Ik i have to select the same socket as the processor but

What motherboard would perform good. How do I know that

[potent portal]

In pcpartpicker?

Which ones are good is something you usually just have to know from reviews and experience

[potent portal]

@desert sigil Once you level up and your name turns green you'll be able to post pics. Any text is auto deleted in #build-pics unless it's posted with a pic.

[strange wing]

is it possible to build a pc with a 30s series card without the cpu bottlenecking it within the price range of like 1020 usd

[potent portal]

If you get a 3050 sure

[fossil cedar]

1 you don't need to worry about "bottlenecking" you can't have a bottleneck free system no matter the budget 2 you can get a good pc for 1k USD although the 1020 makes me think you're converting currency, what country are you in?

[strange wing]

hong kong im trying to find a suitable build for my uk friend

his budget is 8k hkd

[potent portal]

Oof the shipping costs

Best I can do is 9k if you really need 30 series

[fossil cedar]

Your friend is in the UK?

Or in Hong Kong?

[strange wing]

ye hes from uk

[fossil cedar]

But is he living in the UK like?

If so what's the budget in pounds?

[potent portal]

Prices are far better in the UK. Are you building it and then shipping it to them? Or are they building it?

[strange wing]

they prob gonna be building it

[fossil cedar]

1k pounds?

[strange wing]

781.9*

mb

[fossil cedar]

Why is the number so exact are they not in the UK?

[strange wing]

they in the uk

well the thing is

[fossil cedar]

So 800£

[strange wing]

ye around that

he just has that type of parents

[fossil cedar]

I would see if they can do 820 and do this
https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/VkjVcb
If not for 800 you could do this
https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/Dbw2Vw
Imo it's worth the extra 20 for the better case though

[strange wing]

damn bro thanks for the help rlly appreciate it

[fossil cedar]

No problem

[livid shadow]

Ay yo I'm thinking of upgrading my CPU, and with it my cooling solution. I've got a 3600 Ryzen, and I'm thinking about going to 5700 maybe a 5800x. With that I want to upgrade my cooler which is a CM Hyper 212. I expect loads, and so I don't wanna grill on my CPU. I've thought about an AIO, to free my DIMMs and maybe lower noise and temps.
I've got an eye on the Arctic Liquid Freezer II, Both for the RGB and about how I heard it's good.
Questions though.

1. I could top mount a 360 frontwards. My case is set up for overpressure, and it's the Meshify C. Or I could mount it topwards, but only a 240.
2. If not an AIO which cooler would work on my B450 E and not block a DIMM?
3. If not the aio I mentioned, then which one?

[frigid night]

The Arctic Freezer II 360 is an amazing cooler. I have mine mounted front of my case. Can't even hear the thing.

[livid shadow]

Yeha but I've got a 3060TI

And an overpressure case

As in more pressure inside than outside

So it'd be hot air in

And I have a 3060ti which now sits around 65 on load

[frigid night]

I've never heard of overpressure.. do you mean negative pressure or positive pressure?

[frank stirrup]

what case

[frank stirrup]

doesnt really matter

oh meshify c

how are fans arranged

[livid shadow]

Fractal design Meshify C

3 front, one rear

Front pulls air in

[frank stirrup]

and rear exaust?

[livid shadow]

Little stuffed but not too bad

[frank stirrup]

rear exaust yeah?

@livid shadow

[livid shadow]

Ye

Single fan

[frank stirrup]

Ok

what cpu

[frigid night]

Do you only want 1 exhaust? I'm a little confused.

[frank stirrup]

3600

[livid shadow]

I said it in my question

[frank stirrup]

i see

yeah get an arctic freezer 360mm

[livid shadow]

It's still a 120 exhaust fan

[frigid night]

He wants to upgrade to 5700/5800

[frank stirrup]

front mount

[livid shadow]

I'm not sure if you realize how BIG is the Meshify C

[potent portal]

The 240mm freezer can handle a 5700X

[frigid night]

I was gonna say if you front mount the 360, you could use the front fans you have for the top as exhaust as well..

[potent portal]

It's not really that big, kinda average maybe a little below

[livid shadow]

I've also got my vr setup placed on top of my case so I don't want to use my top for exhaust

Since me room is packed

[frank stirrup]

yeh but id still do for 280mm or 360 and carry it over

[potent portal]

Then do the 280mm on front

[livid shadow]

I can mount a 360

[frank stirrup]

that doesnt mean you have to

[livid shadow]

Or a 240 or 120

[frigid night]

😂

[livid shadow]

Frontwards

[frigid night]

I did because I could lol

[frank stirrup]

280mm is fine really

360 id go for if u wanna upgrade later and carry cooler over

[livid shadow]

I want a 360 since bigger would mean more overhead and, logically, a more silent experience

[frank stirrup]

280 will do u just fine

[livid shadow]

Since you have pwm fans

But I cannot mount 280 at the front

[potent portal]

140mm fans are quieter than 120mm anyway

[frank stirrup]

can u mount 2 140mm fans?

on the front

[livid shadow]

You mount the fans to the aio tho

[frank stirrup]

if u can, then u can mount a 280mm aio

[potent portal]

You can

[livid shadow]

That's what I thought too

[frigid night]

You can mount the fans to the case as well as the aio

[livid shadow]

Ah

[livid shadow]

Ah

[frigid night]

Like my fans are pointing out the case, you just use the longer bolts to go through the case, through the fans into the rad

[frank stirrup]

just get a 280mm arctic freezer if u plan on staying on the 5800x/5700 for a while

[livid shadow]

I must be blind

[frank stirrup]

otherwise get 360mm one

[potent portal]

Don't think 360 fits

[frigid night]

Weird. The website shows a 360 fits.

[potent portal]

Not according to the specs on wegg at least

[potent portal]

iirc it's a VERY tight fit

[frank stirrup]

gotta remove psu shroud and hdd cage

then it fits

[potent portal]

Yeah so can't have 3.5" drives and you have the ugly hole

[frank stirrup]

falcie hear me out

painted paper

[frigid night]

Lol

[potent portal]

The shroud is meant to slide over but then it's blowing into the basement

[frigid night]

Maybe some paper mache?

[frank stirrup]

literally my pc rn

lololol

[frigid night]

Oh.

Hey you car..

You should tidy that paper up a bit. :D

[frank stirrup]

i cant exactly wipe it

[frigid night]

That looks ugly compared to the rest of it.

[frank stirrup]

because poster paint

[frigid night]

I meant like the corners

[frank stirrup]

ah

it dont wan bend

[livid shadow]

Wait, but it should fit without any modifications

Meshify says on their page it should fit a 360

[potent portal]

Unless you count removing the hard drive tray a modification

[frigid night]

Get some popsicle stick to help it hold a good form

[frank stirrup]

it does after removing a few screws

[livid shadow]

Well, I do

[frank stirrup]

they be removable for a reason

[livid shadow]

Heck

[frank stirrup]

not a bad idea

one day

[fossil cedar]

Dry wipe silly

Dust it bonk

[frank stirrup]

ill dry wipe u silly

get rekt

[fossil cedar]

[frank stirrup]

but yeah my pc needs a cleaning

maybe this weekend

oh btw @fossil cedar i managed to get my temps lower

[potent portal]

I need to get fractal to send me a new fan. One of the chonky 180s is rattling LOUD.

[livid shadow]

I kinda don't wanna remove the basement since y'know

Got baracudas on there

[fossil cedar]

[fossil cedar]

How so?

[frank stirrup]

I have a small desert cooler pointed in there with side panel off

[frigid night]

Get popsicle sticks today. Clean your pc today.

[frank stirrup]

dropped temps by over 10C

[fossil cedar]

Lolllllll

[livid shadow]

Compressed air is a godsend

[frank stirrup]

I mean if it works it works right

[fossil cedar]

Electric bill go brrrr

[frigid night]

Just.. submerge whole pc in soapy bathwater.

Give it good bath

[frank stirrup]

it cools me too and consumes as much as a fan

so im chilling

[livid shadow]

Nw, cover it with isopropyl

[frank stirrup]

Lololol

@fossil cedar

[frigid night]

Wtf is on your cpu?

[potent portal]

Mineral oil bath
no cap

[frank stirrup]

what do u mean

the cooler?

[frigid night]

Yeah

[frank stirrup]

its a smaller hyper 212

[livid shadow]

I'd think about mineral oil if it wasn't so spooky

[frank stirrup]

because better cooler within budget no fit in this case

[potent portal]

It feels really weird dunking a running PC into a liquid but it doesn't conduct electricity

[frigid night]

Get bigger case :D

[frank stirrup]

called 410r i think

[frank stirrup]

3060ti first

[frigid night]

Why a 3060ti not a 3080ti?

[frank stirrup]

because im a broke college student

[frigid night]

Ah

At least you are in college :)

[frank stirrup]

Desert cooler on

[frigid night]

Holy crap

Is that idle?

[frank stirrup]

yeah

[livid shadow]

I know about a local server stack that zas their servers in mineral oil

[frigid night]

Wow

[frank stirrup]

ambient is 35-40C rn

ugh

stop

corrupting

screenshots

[frigid night]

Crazy

My room is usually 28c

[frank stirrup]

Idle cooler off

[frigid night]

But my idles are 22c and my load is about 55c

But I do have a 360 on the 12600k

So, that's probably why

[frank stirrup]

my load temp is 85 or so

ive seen this cpu hit 105c

[fossil cedar]

Fair nough

[livid shadow]

My brother in Christ, get your cooling solution in check

[fossil cedar]

Nah it's his ambient air that's the problem

[frank stirrup]

Its like 38C rn

ambient

[fossil cedar]

💀

[livid shadow]

Death

[frank stirrup]

https://tenor.com/view/this-is-fine-gif-24177057

[fossil cedar]

And that's a cold day today right

[frank stirrup]

yeah

this week

41C on thursday

fun!

[fossil cedar]

[frank stirrup]

thankfully im out of town from wednesday to friday i think

[fossil cedar]

[frank stirrup]

trade with meeeeeee

[fossil cedar]

[frank stirrup]

where im going for 3 days

[fossil cedar]

So cold

[livid shadow]

It is middle of April, and it's been snowing yesterday

[frank stirrup]

ill take cold over hot any day tbh

in moderation ofc

nothing below 5c

[potent portal]

At least that's a dry heat, it NEVER gets below 30% humidity here and it's usually closer to 40%. And we hit 45C every year in Summer.

[frank stirrup]

https://tenor.com/view/this-is-fine-gif-24177057

today do be drier than normal

but yeah itll hit 45 or so in peak summer here too

this rn do be the start

I HATE

THE HEAT

AND THE SUN

SO MUCH

[potent portal]

I need to move to Canada, I'm the same way. Get me out of the heat. Let it rain/snow 8 months out of the year.

[frank stirrup]

45C at 40% humidity is torture

[frank stirrup]

INDEED

[potent portal]

At least it's not Texas hot here

[frank stirrup]

im the sort of person who doesnt need the sun much at all. my visit to london for a few weeks was bliss

[potent portal]

When I was in Basic Training it hit 51C at 95% humidity

[frank stirrup]

How are you still alive

[potent portal]

"Black Flag" days, meaning "don't go outside unless you absolutely have to"

There was a lot less marching lol

[frank stirrup]

more like dont go outside if u like keeping ur skin

[potent portal]

Oh I almost forgot

Our building's AC broke

[frank stirrup]

Ohhhhhhh no

[potent portal]

And it's solid concrete

With very few windows that open

[frank stirrup]

Dont tell me many people in same room as well

[potent portal]

52

[frank stirrup]

HOW ARE YOU ALIVE

[potent portal]

By drinking 1.5 gallons of water a day

[frank stirrup]

Ahhh

[potent portal]

Don't forget that military uniforms are long sleeved as well

[frank stirrup]

i usually have around 6l and apparantly there is such a thing as too much water

[frank stirrup]

bruhhhhhhhhhhhh'

[potent portal]

But at least we have short sleeves under the jacket

[frank stirrup]

that sounds like torture

[potent portal]

We don't have to wear the jacket indoors usually

So that helps

[frank stirrup]

idk how people manage to live in army conditions. massive respect to all the soldiers

[potent portal]

We did our mock deployment (beast week) in the middle of that summer though

We had to do CBRNE drills in full gas masks and everything in the summer sun

[frank stirrup]

i dont like how its called beast week

[frank stirrup]

damn

that no good

[potent portal]

No kidding

We actually had 2 people get heat exhaustion

Ironically one was an MTI

[frank stirrup]

Im surprised it was just the 2

[potent portal]

HYDRATE

Every 5 minutes

No joke

The gas masks even have tubes to connect to your canteen

[frank stirrup]

Oh damn thats kinda cool

it would be much worse to remove the gas mask to sip water every time

[potent portal]

Especially considering we were doing chemical warfare drills

You take that mask off you're dead

[frank stirrup]

TRUE

[little osprey]

once i experienced 48c during a power cut

not the most pleasant of times

[potent portal]

I don't care what everyone else says I liked the gas chamber

They have you go in with your mask on so you can learn to trust it

Then you take it off and do jumping jacks lmao

[little osprey]

I'll take that out of context

[frank stirrup]

thats... incredibly random

[potent portal]

Increases your respiration rate so you breathe more of the gas and breathe deeper

Most of us were retching by the end

Luckily it was before lunch

[frank stirrup]

AHHH its like a gas with mask on vs with mask off

makes sense

i thought mask on in the gas and then jumping jacks in another area

[potent portal]

BTW it's not tear gas they use
It's far worse

[frank stirrup]

das no good

[potent portal]

It's CS gas

[frank stirrup]

isnt cs gas a big part of tear gas?

[potent portal]

It's like concentrated tear gas

[frank stirrup]

ahhhhhhh

oof

[potent portal]

We all had this look lol

[frank stirrup]

dats no good

[livid shadow]

Take solace in the fact you had proper masks and not the Soviet elephants.

[little osprey]

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/zMJ4d9

[mossy venture]

How much of this have you already bought

[little osprey]

Do I upgrade from my R5 3600 to a R5 5600x with my 2070

[fossil cedar]

Depends what you play what res etc

[little osprey]

I'm at 1080p. I play a lot of iRacing, Assetto Corsa, Assetto Corsa Competizione, Hell Let Loose

Hell Let Loose is terribly optimized

Very CPU heavy

[fossil cedar]

I've never heard of most of those so not really sure if they are cpu or GPU bound in games

Ahh

Emmm personally I'd go 5700x

[little osprey]

With my 2070?

You mean 5800x?

[mossy venture]

Pato how's this https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/GLWqpH
I'm unfamiliar with Uk pricing

[mossy venture]

5700x is a newly released cpu

It has 5800x tier perf with a slightly reduced clock I believe

[fossil cedar]

Nope

[mossy venture]

Also power usage iirc

[little osprey]

Oh

That's a good deal

Ooh that might be it

[fossil cedar]

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/B7Dgtn

@mossy venture ^

[mossy venture]

Forgot the 570 existed lol

Looked at 550 750 and mp33

[fossil cedar]

Just sort low to high with 1tb and nvme filter 😛

[high yew]

stock cooler on a 12700f enough for a week or so? aio doesn’t get in for abt another week and a half

[earnest olive]

depends on your definition of enough

it'll stop the CPU from melting

you probably won't hit thermal shutdown

don't expect maximum gaming or productivity performance

[boreal notch]

I'm looking for some help with finding the right parts to build a pc that can run pretty much everything in vr

[viral ore]

its a non K, so its PL is 65w

stock cooler is totally fine, just make sure to mess with PL in the bios once you get your aio

[little osprey]

budget?

and region (us, canada, etc)

[viral ore]

of course that depends on the mobo you chose as well

[boreal notch]

us and preferably under 1.5k

could maybe go higher

I also have a pc that runs vr but not as well as I would like so maybe some parts I could keep

[little osprey]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/kDYDcb if you’re willing to go over 1.5k

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/3vrbhk should be fine for under 1.4k

Might want to wait for other opinions before buying though

[little osprey]

You could probably keep storage and case fans/ fan hub

Maybe the case too if you want

[boreal notch]

so I have a ryzen 5 3600, 600 watts, 16 gb ram, a case, and a motherboard so i really just need to upgrade my video card

[little osprey]

Ah

what resolution

1080p 1440p 4k etc

if you’re going 1440p 3060ti is good

[boreal notch]

ok

and should I upgrade my power supply?

[little osprey]

What model is it

and what model is your ram

if you know

[boreal notch]

so just how much? or something else?

[little osprey]

The model of it

Like the model number or product name

It should say on the power supply if you are unsure

[boreal notch]

well I checked the brand of my ram its: ballistix

[little osprey]

Ram is fine then if it’s crucial ballistix

[boreal notch]

I can't really find the power supply's

[little osprey]

That’s fine

do you know what manufacturer? like the company that made it

if not oh well it’s ok

[boreal notch]

I think I found it online

gamemax

[little osprey]

That doesn’t sound like a good psu

let me check

[boreal notch]

yeah its $43

[jagged ember]

might be good to invest in a nicer psu

[boreal notch]

yeah thats what I'm thinking

I've seen a few times in task manager that power usage is very high

[jagged ember]

that's for your components

don't think it means too much though

[boreal notch]

oh

[jagged ember]

it's gonna have high power usage if you're doing any kind of intensive task like gaming lol

[boreal notch]

that makes sense

good to know

[jagged ember]

damn, I'm out of touch with good PSUs now

I forgor

but first pin in this channel will tell you in general what's good

[boreal notch]

also does the price of a motherboard matter?

[jagged ember]

not as much as the features and stuff, no

[boreal notch]

because when I first built my pc I really went cheap for stuff like psu and motherboard

[little osprey]

If you want to upgrade parts might as well just build a new pc

[boreal notch]

I've already got the cpu though and the ram and motherboard shouldn't I keep those?

[little osprey]

I mean if you keep the cpu that limits you to the last gen hardware

You can definitely keep the ram if it’s like at least 3200mhz crucial ballistix

If you’re just looking to upgrade only some parts i can help with that too

[boreal notch]

I'm thinking if I build a whole new PC I wanna go all out but I don't have that kind of money

[little osprey]

Lol, relatable

[boreal notch]

So I would have to go with the 20 series?

[mossy venture]

depends on how much you want to spend

whats the budget

[boreal notch]

Well rn I just wanna upgrade and I have a Ryzen 5 3600 so they're saying I'll have to go with last gen

[mossy venture]

3600 is fine

whats your current build

motherboard and ram will be fine to carry over, considering budget is tight

case probably, heatsink probably

[potent portal]

R5 3600 is fine for up to a 3070/6700XT probably, unless you're playing esports games like csgo

[mossy venture]

psu is mostly what we need to know

[boreal notch]

600 watts

[mossy venture]

youll be fine with a 3060 ti, if it isnt a bomb.

[boreal notch]

I am definitely willing to upgrade it though

[mossy venture]

which assuming youve had the pc for a while it probably isnt

do you know the model of it?

[boreal notch]

Gamesmax or something

[mossy venture]

never heard of it

https://www.amazon.com/Supply-Modular-Bronze-GAMEMAX-VP-600-M-RGB/dp/B07SH7DHBS this look like it?

[potent portal]

Gamemax is all Tier E

Avoid at all costs

[mossy venture]

ah

so new psu will be needed

[potent portal]

It's just shy of being explosive

[mossy venture]

if on that tight of a budget, this is fine https://pcpartpicker.com/product/q2K2FT/segotep-gp-600-w-80-gold-certified-atx-power-supply-600w-non-modular

[potent portal]

Oh they were the ones that were sending cherry picked units to the 80+ validation

[mossy venture]

oh fal leadex 750 is back down to $75

[potent portal]

Ooh nice

[mossy venture]

d.f 850 is still 90

[boreal notch]

So that and a 3060?

[mossy venture]

depending on how much you want to spend

and how patient you can be

also if you want dlss/rtx

[boreal notch]

Alright that's not too bad

Thanks

[mossy venture]

sooo

how much do you want to spend

that was a question :P

[boreal notch]

I'm not sure

Probably around 1k

[mossy venture]

usd?

[boreal notch]

Yeah

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/BjJgXL/evga-geforce-rtx-3070-lhr-8-gb-ftw3-ultra-gaming-icx3-video-card-08g-p5-3767-kl

[strong raft]

Evga xc3 & asus tuf 3070 ti has been $700 lately (keyword has) . Deals/sales are sporadic, but I suggest we no longer settle at $700+ for a non-ti 3070.

[potent portal]

EVGA should restock tomorrow if the pattern holds so you could snag one in the morning

[mossy venture]

considering 3070 non ti is within 5% of the ti, and has much lower power usage and much cooler vram...

eh

[potent portal]

They've had ti in stock more than non-ti

[strong raft]

I forgot they might've been that close. Often it just seems getting ahold of either is the tough part. I'll agree the 290w tdp isn't nice, but I wouldn't mind the Ti. Could always downclock a bit or something. Sure is a big wattage jump for mostly a vram OC.

[little osprey]

3070 usually not even in stock tho so whatever you can get your hands on

[high yew]

what drivers do i need for my mobo?

b660 gaming x ax ddr4 rev 1.0

i downloaded the one audio driver, but what about chipset, lan, sata, vga, wlan, bios, utility

[obsidian wigeon]

Just go to your mobo's support site

[high yew]

i did i got it working

[viral ore]

just let windows handle all your drivers

other than your graphics driver, make sure to get that one straight from either the nvidia or amd website

[high yew]

by chance, is there an app to look purely at temps if i have to change fan speed via bios?

[earnest olive]

hwinfo64

[high yew]

https://gyazo.com/0a1ec17986c42de7b9dc16c1883cfe2c

which one?

[earnest olive]

i use portable

doesn't really matter

[high yew]

whats difference?

[obsidian wigeon]

portable doesn't require you to install

that's the only difference

[high yew]

not to be a pain, where does it say the temp on here?

https://gyazo.com/404d74dfc340aa50ee4c972dd1f9dd68

[obsidian wigeon]

it's in sensors

click it and a window should pop up

[high yew]

https://gyazo.com/087b11ad9b633e78d3eb16dd53d9c641

core temps = current 25C

thats what i look for correct?

[obsidian wigeon]

There's a few ways you can do it, but that's okay to do, ya

[strong raft]

Now w/ that in background/running, can do cinebench once or twice to see "load" temps.

[stable tinsel]

thermaltake toughpower gx1 does it have 8 pin

[potent portal]

What wattage?

[stable tinsel]

500w 80+ gold

[potent portal]

Yes it has a total of 4 on 2 different cables

Assuming you mean the one for GPUs and not CPUs

It also has a single 4+4 pin for the CPU

[obsidian wigeon]

im assuming they're asking about gpu

[neon condor]

Look up your board and go to the support section then drivers.

You don't need all of them

Just the main ones like chipset, lan, BIOS, & WLAN.

Windows can figure out everything else except for your GPU one.
That you gotta get from AMD/NVIDIA

[mellow oasis]

Are you following development of the SCORN PC game? It inspired me to update my GIGER PC, https://twitter.com/Mnpctech/status/1513871200136667138

[turbid vector]

Small bit of buying advice, looking to get one of those internal monitors to mount in my case. Do they have a name? Any recommendations?

[fossil cedar]

It's just a like 7" monitor ik that @earnest olive uses one they just got off of Amazon they might be able to get the name for you if you ask nicely 😛

[turbid vector]

I found a couple there, but they had low ratings, so wanted to ask.

[little osprey]

@abstract burrow what is your budget and where are you located (US, canada, europe, etc)

[turbid vector]

Message sent.

[fossil cedar]

@spring hedge what country and what use is the pc for?

[spring hedge]

USA and he plays Fortnite, rocket league

[high yew]

good speaker recommendations? need something on my desk as a good speaker setup

[fossil cedar]

For 700 right?

[spring hedge]

Yes

[little osprey]

i found a victus 15L that’s $600 and suggested them to add $50 ram and $50 storage from amazon

[spring hedge]

Would I need to get another 8gb or 16 go and same for storage?

[fossil cedar]

I'd do this for ~700
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/QfBCzf

[little osprey]

They said prebuilt tho

I'm looking at a R7 5800x

Hoping my NH-U12S can keep it cool

I gotta update my bios tho

Planning on adding a second fan to the cooler

[fossil cedar]

Ohh then probably https://www.hp.com/us-en/shop/ConfigureView?langId=-1&storeId=10151&catalogId=10051&catEntryId=3074457345620235323&urlLangId=&quantity=1
Add in this ram kit
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08HLYYP4G/
And some more storage
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/gHNxFT/western-digital-wd-blue-2-tb-35-7200rpm-internal-hard-drive-wd20ezbx

@spring hedge ^

[fossil cedar]

Yeah no

[fossil cedar]

Get a 5700x instead

Bit easier to cool and cheaper

Basically negligible perf difference

[little osprey]

ah yeah that’s a smarter choice for storage good idea

[fossil cedar]

Thanks

[spring hedge]

Thanks

@fossil cedar if he does decide to build he doesn’t need a cpu cooler?

[fossil cedar]

Cpu comes with one

[spring hedge]

Oh ok thanks

[fossil cedar]

No

Np*

[spring hedge]

And if he decides to build do I get the 2 to ssd you send me as well

2tb*

[fossil cedar]

If he decides to build go with what's in the list, that 2tb drive is HDD not ssd

[spring hedge]

Ok so get the 512GB

[little osprey]

Pay 25 more dollars and get a 500w psu

[fossil cedar]

doesnt matter for that pc its proprietary anyway

[fossil cedar]

yep

[blissful relic]

Can I just use a dell power supply for my gpu?

or should I buy a power supply

[little osprey]

Yea but more power

[fossil cedar]

But theres no point

[fossil cedar]

Depends on the power supply

[little osprey]

K

[little osprey]

If I can find one

5700xs are impossible to find

Or do I get the 5800x3d Lol

[fossil cedar]

No they're not, what country?

[little osprey]

I wanted to get it on Amazon for 1 day

micro center😳

It's 2 hrs away

I might take a trip there

[fossil cedar]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/JmhFf7/amd-ryzen-7-5700x-34-ghz-8-core-processor-100-100000926wof

I'm buying this now

[fossil cedar]

[jolly grotto]

Anyone also build servers here? Or just gaming pcs

[fossil cedar]

I mean yeah not a rack server but you can use normal pc parts for a small/at home server

[little osprey]

mostly gaming pcs here but there’s probably a couple people with experience with rack servers

[solemn rampart]

I probably have a stupidly cursed build

And no one will like it

[little osprey]

overpriced r5 3600 on an msi tomahawk b450 in an $110 h510 non-flow with thermaltake smart psu and $500 rtx 2060 and 16gb corsair lpx ram?

[fossil cedar]

H510 elite*

[mossy venture]

@elfin flame no 3090 ti or 12900ks. Weak

And no h510 elite

Or h610

Also get a gigabyte psu

[desert gulch]

Get AP-GM

[high yew]

if one was to remove his one pin reset switch from mobo and switch to my adapter so i can cycle through fan lighting via reset button on casing, is that gonna effect anything?

[viral ore]

its just a button

so no it wont effect anything

[little osprey]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/nZJJfv

Black build. Rgb theme.
VR/gaming use case.
Using other storage I already have.

[jolly grotto]

Whats my best value, buying Used intel xeons?

[desert gulch]

you buy it yet?

[jolly grotto]

If you built 4 3970xs and just used them for virtualization do you think its worth?

[potent portal]

What are you virtualizing?

VMs probably not unless you need more than 2 cores per VM

[jolly grotto]

Well I don’t want to connect my monitor to it

rather just use my main pc and connect to these and leave them in my garage ( bc i’m limited on space)

If i could build it w 256 ram,3970x 1ssd 1hdd >$6000 would be worth it

Cause atm that’s my monthly server cost p/y

[potent portal]

If you have a real need for a server like that it's totally worth building instead of renting.

[noble ridge]

I recently got a sony dav dz270 home theatre system from, my grandfather. Although it still works, it's a really old system and doesn't work with any modern functionalities. However, it has a nice 5.1 sound setup. I plan to convert the speaker wires to 3.5 mm male connectors and use them with my PC. The only problem, I don't have the 5.1 system on my PC. How wd yall recommend connecting the speakers to the PC? Im not an audiophile by any means, so i'm just looking for a way to get that 5.1 surround ported to my PC in a method thats as cheap as possible, while maintaining quality.
I've never tinkered in the audio side of stuff so if yall dont mind, please explain any jargon in your replies

[potent portal]

You can just get a pcie sound card

[restive halo]

If I mount the AIO do I want the tubes tighter or loose

[noble ridge]

I'm really not sure how all that works. I've searched fr audio cards. N even the 5.1 ones tend to hv ony 4 3.5mm jacks. Which is weird bcz 5.1 shd hv 6 jacks

[potent portal]

As long as it's not kinked, it's up to you

[restive halo]

Just wondering if it would look better with the cords to the left

[potent portal]

Left/right are in the same channel

[noble ridge]

ASUS XONAR SE 5.1 Channel 192kHz/24-bit Hi-Res 116dB SNR PCIe Gaming Sound Card with Windows 10 Compatibility https://www.amazon.in/dp/B07HCX1NY9/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_i_PG51KA295XBNFPXVNQNY?psc=1

This is the one I was planning on getting. It seems to b recommended as a good budget option

[potent portal]

#peripherals-and-displays is better for audio equipment questions tbh. Some of our audio experts have this more general channel muted.

[desert gulch]

idk man theres a lot of weirdos that hang out in ther

looking at you, ghosty

[restive halo]

@potent portal When I put it on the left side the cord hangs low and loose

[potent portal]

Ok? As long as it's not bent too much it doesn't matter

[desert gulch]

instructions unclear

[high yew]

how flexible are the psu cables?

[still roost]

j.acob#7187 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[high yew]

ugh

i’m worried it’ll drag on the pins or something and will put my mobo out of commission. gotta crank it a hard right once i feed it through my casing. just wondering

[potent portal]

They're copper wires. They can pretty much bend at a 90 degree angle.

If you're worried they have 90 degree adapters too

[high yew]

it’s sitting flush so i’ll leave it as is, check dm’s i can’t send it to here apparently

[high yew]

^

[potent portal]

Weird

But yeah that's totally fine

[high yew]

alright sounds good, i’m currently down to my last two zip ties and am stressing on cable management

worst part of the damn thing

can i use electrical tape on the back of the case? 😂

[little osprey]

can you not wait until tmrw and go to the store to buy more zip ties 😂

[high yew]

you’re not gonna believe me

i’m 99.9% sure i don’t have a place near me that sells zip ties

not kidding

nearest place is like 30 mins away

[desert gulch]

worth it

for good cable management

[high yew]

fair

[little osprey]

electrical tape probably works but its gonna be a mess to undo and will make moving your cables a pain

because they're taped down

[desert gulch]

can leave residue aswell

[little osprey]

you can probably just sparsely use the last two and go back later to finish

save them for the more visible parts

[high yew]

never done cable management before, but i don’t think it’s really that big of a deal as the back panel will be on

just make it look somewhat pretty and it’s good

[little osprey]

^

back panel can hide everything

just focus on the mobo side for now

[high yew]

oh yeah mobo side is good, it’s the back i’m frustrated asf about

panel doesn’t sit flush and it’s annoying tf outa me

not gonna really matter unless somethings pinching but

still annoying to me, rather it just sit flush and be done deal

[fossil cedar]

Used xeons aren't really worth it tbh unless you're on a very tight budget

[fossil cedar]

Depends what you need to do with the computers if it's worth it

[mossy canopy]

Good morning everyone. I just built my computer last night turned it on and it looks awesome. I am having an issue with it continuing to run. The only screen that pops up is the one below and it says that the CPU fans speeds are not available and then the CPU gets hot and then the entire computer shuts itself off. Does anyone know of any fixes for this issue?

[mossy venture]

Did you use thermal paste, what type of cooler did you use, is it mounted properly, is the fan power cable plugged in

@mossy canopy

[mossy canopy]

Yes to all and ….

Shared List https://newegg.io/b5999a6

I asked a friend and he said that I should have had a cable being plugged into the top right of the motherboard at the CPU opt and the CPU fan when looking at the specs I only have one plugged into the CPU fan nothing plugged into the CPU opt as there was only one cord

@mossy venture

[mossy venture]

Well just a question first

Did you spend 3k on that

And for the cables @fossil cedar will know better than me. Im not too familiar with every specific cable

[fossil cedar]

Make sure the aio pump is plugged in and the fans are all spinning

Also thats a yikes on the price

For 3k(including monitors) should be getting at least a 3080/6800xt

[mossy canopy]

Lol I did spend that and all fans are spinning. I’m assuming I paid too much for everything?

Mind you it’s my first build ever lol I assumed all parts were at a good price.

Also I won’t be doing any gaming on it. It’s strictly for trading

[mossy venture]

Trading?

[regal dust]

i dont think you need to spend 3k on pc just to trade

you can probably spend around 1.5k for a decent pc that can run you anything

and he had four monitor thats probably 1/3 of the cost depending ok which resolution he got as well

[fossil cedar]

You grossly overpaid

[fossil cedar]

Stocks n shares

[frank stirrup]

Coulda gotten away with a 600$ pc

Maybe cheaper

[viral ore]

yeah what? just return the cpu and gpu, get an amd chip with an iGPU

well actually if you need multiple monitors you can get cards with multiple display outputs for pretty cheap

[frank stirrup]

Yeh like a gt710

[frank stirrup]

10100 woulda probably been enough

[viral ore]

well hes already got the system assembled

returning everything is just a hassle

[frank stirrup]

#tech-deals message

Also that

[viral ore]

at least return the overkill chip

[frank stirrup]

125$ 10400

md the gpu

And the ram

@mossy canopy can u return parts?

[viral ore]

ya know, all these day traders think they need some super powerful pc, this is like the 4th one i can think of who shows up thinking they need the bees knees of computing just to move money around

its hilarious

[frank stirrup]

If it can run chrome it can trade

Thats all it takes really

[viral ore]

the only real requirement is a gpu with lots of display outputs

that can also smoothly render graphs

like any quadro from the last 8 years

[frank stirrup]

Or gt710s

Or similar thisng

[viral ore]

ion think the 710 has enough display out

they usually do have at least 3 monitors

usually more

[frank stirrup]

Gt710s have 3 outputs

But yeah quadros better probably

[fossil cedar]

Gt1030s not 710

[mossy canopy]

Well running 4 monitors, and 3 real time super high data up load and download programs along with discord 2 websites and a zoom call all at once.

[fossil cedar]

710 not powerful enough for 1440p

Yeah your friends did a poor job on parts ngl

[viral ore]

i would have gotten a cheap 6 core cpu, cheap motherboard, cheap ram, quadro with 4 DP out, gigabit PCIe nic, all for about 800 or so dollars

would work just as good as your current setup, and would consume significantly less power

also it would be pretty tough to overheat

[mossy canopy]

Thanx all for the help obviously my “peoples” don’t know what they are talking about haha. It’s all good I got it learned my lesson and I’m okay with it. At least I know I’ll be able to trade with it for a good while and won’t have to upgrade. Thanx all for the help. Gaming might be a part of my life the. Haha.

[viral ore]

as for your issue, are you sure your cpu is actually causing a thermal shutdown?

do you have software to check temps?

the cpu fan speeds not being available and the system shutting down could potentially be two seperate issues

[mossy canopy]

This is the only thing that showed up when I first turned it on

[viral ore]

yikes

cpu package at 90

[mossy canopy]

Yeah it got hotter

[viral ore]

yeah theres definitely something wrong with your cooler mounting pressure

[mossy canopy]

200 then it shut off

[viral ore]

i would shut it all down and pull off your cpu cooler

[mossy canopy]

Okay sweet

[stoic island]

If using aio, check if you plugged in the pump

[viral ore]

check your mounting hardware, make sure its all installed correctly

[stoic island]

check if there was a plastic seal on the coldplate

[viral ore]

oh shoot

it is an aio

[fossil cedar]

Nah to be fair you cannn do that but traders have a lot of stuff open etc

[viral ore]

a 6/12 chip would def be more than enough

[fossil cedar]

I'm gonna guess it's mounted improper or you left the plastic peel on

[fossil cedar]

Would be enough vs good are different

[viral ore]

more than enough

better than good

esp considering the amount of resources all those pieces of software use

the thread scheduler can handle it

[fossil cedar]

I'd say not more than enough for how much day traders have up personally

[viral ore]

32gb of ram would be more useful in that department

just because software is open doesnt mean its doing anything

[fossil cedar]

When traders have 4-6 screens open I'd say it's doing something lol

[viral ore]

yeah but theres no way the IPC of the 10400 wouldnt be able to handle it

would run all 4-6 of those applications on a thread or two

[fossil cedar]

Yeah it would work sure

[mossy canopy]

Idk what an aio is

[frank stirrup]

the cooler u have

is an aio

[obsidian wigeon]

an aio is an all in one

you don't need to do anything other than mount it

and install the rad on if the aio has fans preinstalled

otherwise you put the fans that it comes with by yourself

[fossil cedar]

A liquid cooler

[little osprey]

all in one liquid cooler ya

aka it’s kinda like water cooling but they set it up for you

[obsidian wigeon]

it is water cooling

but without the hassle of custom loops

[mossy venture]

Thought so

[solemn rampart]

Needen some help over here

[little osprey]

with what

[mossy venture]

!ask

[still roost]

https://dontasktoask.com/

[restive halo]

Thus computer has a geforce 2060 in it and I can't get both display ports to work

[little osprey]

What’s the issue? is there no display output from one of them

[mossy venture]

Update drivers

[restive halo]

The graphics card has a hdmi and a display port i have the hdmi going to one monitor and display going to the other

The display port is the one not registering

[little osprey]

Have you tried a different cable yet

or a different monitor

[restive halo]

It's at someone else's house they do not have a extra cable

[mossy venture]

Try updating drivers, if you haven't yet

After that, switch cables on the two monitors

To test if the monitors broken, or if it's smthn else

[restive halo]

Tested both monitors with the same hdmi and they are both in working condition

[mossy venture]

have you updated drivers yet?

also what resolution are the monitors?

[iron dragon]

what should i do

[little osprey]

wdym

@brisk brook now 1600mhz ram, at cL 16-16-16. . Good lookin rig

[brisk brook]

Now that's an idea

And thank you lol

[regal dust]

u guys have a suggestion of 1.5k(cad) including peripheral and monitor including tax to it?

[twin berry]

im #1

[south cliff]

i have seen somke leaks of next gen intel and i dont know if i should still get the 12600k

[desert gulch]

i wouldnt get the 12600k in general

if gaming, 12400f is great

if you want more cores for other stuff, 12700f is nice

if you want to overclock with a bunch of cores, 12700k is well priced rn

[south cliff]

i mean 12600k is like 30-40 bucks more than 12400f

[desert gulch]

eh

[south cliff]

but should i wait or

.....

jus tget it

[desert gulch]

way more than 30-40

12600 non k is 30-40

but not much other than better igp over a 12400f

[south cliff]

yeah i ment that

[desert gulch]

12600 non k is $60 more actually rn

[south cliff]

or i was thinking of 12600

[potent portal]

But 12600k gets ecores

[desert gulch]

yeah but k sku is $100 more than 12400f

[south cliff]

your a mod?

[desert gulch]

so thats way past

[plain mason]

Hello, anyone available to check if my build list is compatible? Thank you..

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/2Zg2Vw (I'm planing to use the case that I already have: https://www.newegg.com/black-cooler-master-cm-690-ii-atx-mid-tower/p/N82E16811119216 ) (reusing windows pro 10 that I already own, and reusing hdds and ssds that I have..)

[desert gulch]

so your budget is like 2800?

[plain mason]

budget is about 2800-3500

[desert gulch]

what will you do with the pc?

[plain mason]

working for creating computer graphics (using softwares like Maya, Houidini, photoshop, video editing, etc)

[desert gulch]

ah ok

im not very familiar with some of those programs so ill let someone else build the list better

for 3500 you could easily fit a 3090 in, but i dont think itd be the best value

[plain mason]

yeah,.. it doesn't have to be like the newest, if the components work all together ok, that'll do for me.

[lunar abyss]

I need help I installed a liquid cooler now my pc monitor isn’t picking up display

[little osprey]

you have plenty money for all new parts

[lunar abyss]

The pc turns on and everything but the monitors aren’t picking up display

[desert gulch]

Did you use the star method when tightening the cooler on?

[lunar abyss]

What is that

[desert gulch]

A way to evenly apply torque, but we can circle back to that

First thing we can check is cables

Is your 8 pin CPU power cable plugged in?

[lunar abyss]

Yea everything is plugged in

[desert gulch]

And are your gpu (if you have one) cables plugged in?

Ok

Next, we could check ram ig

[lunar abyss]

It’s plugged in

[desert gulch]

Yeah

But I mean like taking a stock out and putting the remaining one in other slots

Then we can narrow it down to CPU, GPU, or motherboard

[lunar abyss]

It only has 2 slots

[desert gulch]

Ok

[lunar abyss]

You mean take 1 out and see if it works ?

[desert gulch]

Yeah

Take out 1, try it, then shut it off

[lunar abyss]

Ok

[desert gulch]

Then move the remaining one to the other slot

[lunar abyss]

I would have to take my whole cooler back out

[desert gulch]

Hmm okay nvrmind that then

My personal suspicion is that the cooler is clamping on the CPU so unevenly it's not working

[potent portal]

Is the cooler touching the ram then?

[lunar abyss]

I can’t send pics here?

[potent portal]

DM it to me

[lunar abyss]

Ok

[desert gulch]

Here is the star pattern btw

[lunar abyss]

How do I know

[potent portal]

[desert gulch]

If you torqued one screw really tight, then moved to the next, that's a sign of it

[lunar abyss]

So do I go check the screws

[desert gulch]

Generally you want to go around and tighten a screw a bit, move across to the next

[lunar abyss]

Ok

[desert gulch]

@potent portal you think it may be uneven/too much clamping pressure?

That's what I'm leaning towards

[little osprey]

ye if you cooler too tight your pc doesnt work

[potent portal]

It could be

[little osprey]

i forgot who it was who had that problem maybe sudo

[desert gulch]

It can usually be pretty tight, it just has to be even

[potent portal]

But it could also be the radiator pressing on the memory

[lunar abyss]

So tighten them all the same amount of pressure

[little osprey]

yes

[desert gulch]

Yeah

[lunar abyss]

Ok

[desert gulch]

Looks like the hoses barely brush past it

[desert gulch]

Doesn't look like it's under much stress

[little osprey]

when'd this get added

[potent portal]

The hoses sure but the fans on the rad are over it, can't tell if touching

[desert gulch]

Looks like they clear it

To me

[potent portal]

It's hard to tell

@lunar abyss Is that fan touching the ram?

[lunar abyss]

Still no signal I tighten them all

No

[lunar abyss]

They aren touching

[potent portal]

Hmm ok

[lunar abyss]

It was working before I put the cooler in

Then when I put it in the signal wouldn’t pickup on neither monitors

I didn’t unplug anything

[desert gulch]

im guessing its the clamping force

are any screws tighter than the others?

[lunar abyss]

I don’t think they are but I don’t really know how to even then all

[frank stirrup]

Takr off the cooler

And put it back on
