little osprey
how much smaller can it get than cases in this similar bracket, just the Cerberus?
fossil cedar
how much smaller can it get than cases in this similar bracket, just the Cerberu...
Hmm?
If you want smaller tho why not go itx?
little osprey
I like matx, Good ITX Cases and mobos come at a price jump and I already own a mATX mobo
[Yes I know the Cerberus is also quite expensive]
little osprey
Hmm?
Basically the question was is the Cerberus the only mATX case in its size bracket or close to it
little osprey
Isnāt the v21 from thermal take pretty snake
I prefer
How do I put it;
It's small yes, but it sacrifices vertical smallness for horizontal largeness, if that makes sense
and to me I'd prefer the opposite
fossil cedar
Basically the question was is the Cerberus the only mATX case in its size bracke...
Well the one you linked is called the lian li 205m
fossil cedar
Then why are you calling it cerebarus?
topaz kestrel
They arenāt there is a case called the sliger Cerberus
mossy venture
that is not a good case
little osprey
Didn't think so
little osprey
Either way I was still asking if there's alternatives similar to it
Or is the best bet just going a bit bigger like the 205m or Pop Air Mini
fossil cedar
https://www.sliger.com/products/cases/cerberus/
Woah that's way too expensive, you can get an itx case for 60-80 and an itx board for like 20$ or so more than a matx or atx board
little osprey
Yeah I'm aware its too expensive
little osprey
Either way I was still asking if there's alternatives similar to it
.
This is why the initial question was asked
topaz kestrel
Why not just to itx it isnāt that much more expensive especially when you are trying to compare to a 200+ case for size
Kinda scuffed
fossil cedar
Or is the best bet just going a bit bigger like the 205m or Pop Air Mini
Pop air is atx btw
fossil cedar
Ah right well why not just go itx tho
topaz kestrel
^
little osprey
Because the Pop Air Mini and 205m and similar are actually priced decently so I wouldn't be having to spend, right now,
up front
ITX case money + ITX mobo money
frank stirrup
beep boop
little osprey
Get Case, can keep mobo or upgrade to a different mATX or ITX mobo later down the line
fossil cedar
Woah that's way too expensive, you can get an itx case for 60-80 and an itx boar...

little osprey
Going ITX right now forces me to get a new mobo right now
fossil cedar
Ahh
fossil cedar
You in the us?
little osprey
Yeah
fossil cedar
Does it needa be white or just happens that 205m was white?
little osprey
I'd very much prefer white
little osprey
I know this may seem silly but, for those two
Cerberus: (LxWxH) 358 x 172 x 319 mm
205m: (LxWxH) 415 x 210 x 400 mm
Pop Mini Air: (LxWxH) 432 x 215 x 393 mm
Cooler Master TD300: (LxWxH) 433 x 210 x 420.5 mm
BitFenix Prodigy M: (LxWxH) 359 x 250 x 404 mm
Feel like The Cooler Master makes unneeded sacrifices on the Vertical and the Bitfenix, while a lot less so, still suffers the; "It's small yes, but it sacrifices vertical smallness for horizontal largeness, if that makes sense"
frigid night
It's cool that you are taking a case seriously. Gotta make sure you like what you get. I don't see that to often in here.
Usually just see "what's best case"
"this one"
"ok, just bought it"
little osprey
Lol, wait till its some place that recommends the H510
obsidian wigeon
i mean a good case in an objective sense is just
good quality, is mesh, is not too expensive
little osprey
good quality, is mesh, is not too expensive
Being not a pain to build in would also be a plus
obsidian wigeon
ye
fossil cedar
Cerberus: (LxWxH) 358 x 172 x 319 mm
205m: (LxWxH) 415 x 210 x 400 mm
Pop Mini ...
The reason they do that is to ensure good airflow also it's just a less tall version of the td500 mesh same length afaik
little osprey
you mean the vertical smallness comment?
I mean yes but I also dont have much desk space and both my monitors barely make it in whilist I currently use the 205m
adding to that by too much is gonna complicate that
fossil cedar
Have you considered the floor lol
little osprey
I'd prefer not to
fossil cedar
Sounds like your asking too much out of a matx case then lol
little osprey
guess so
fossil cedar
You could look at the fractal torrent mini, don't think it comes in white tho
little osprey
Cerberus size or similar probably would be Cerberusly priced anyway š
fossil cedar
It's basically an itx case
Cooler master n200 might fight your specs but don't think it's in white either
little osprey
You could look at the fractal torrent mini, don't think it comes in white tho
Torrent Compact I'd say is more normal sized [which is also kinda shown by it supporting even eATX] and the Torrent Nano is mITX
little osprey
Cooler master n200 might fight your specs but don't think it's in white either
Sadly does not, yeah
being that its dimensions are bigger than the cerberus I don't see why the torrent nano couldn't fit mATX š, maybe I could mod it in?
Really like the look of it, but its not mATX, on the nano, yeah
fossil cedar
Probably doesn't fit unless you fancy modding your board instead xD
strong raft
The nano is only itx, not matx afaik. 
potent portal
Correct, ITX only but at least it uses full ATX PSU
The money you save on the case ends up going to the mobo lol
strong raft
Kind of a dumn (sized) case tbh. 
potent portal
At least ITX boards tend to be higher quality
strong raft
Should be for their usual price premium, haha. Lyss wanted matx. People just need to adjust their room or desk sometimes. Approx 30" deep desktop is awesome, usually have my pc behind the monitor(s)
--ignore the ghost ping, saw a meshilicious on sale forgetting it was itx.
little osprey
haha all good, saw the meshilicious myself and was like "oh this looks decent" but then itx
I probably will eventually move to ITX, just way way way further down the line

Seems to only support itx
strong raft
Guaranteed there's an atx version I just forget if specifically there's an Matx model. Tbh the atx is maybe super similar & just an inch or 2 taller in reality.
Basically no bigger than an matx version since matx mobos are same "length". $180+ is nuts though.
fossil cedar
Calling it a case is a bit of an overstatement
strong raft
I consider it a fancy test bench. Gonna just build something similar, but w/ mobo horizontal & perhaps mount underneath the top of my desk. 
fossil cedar
That's exactly what it is
little osprey
I consider it a fancy test bench
basically yeah, and at 180$+ at that

rich void
It has to be compatible with the socket, have enough ram clearance, and fit in your case
potent portal
You also probably want a cooler that's capable of actually cooling whatever CPU it is. Higher power = lots more heat in general.
sweet whale
someone able to help me with cabling 3070ti FE?
potent portal
Should just plug your PCIe power cables into the 12 pin adapter, nothing special
potent portal
I'd use two separate cables instead of the daisy chain
sweet whale
oh okay
potent portal
I doubt the 3070 ti will use enough power for it to be a real problem but the potential is always there
cyan ravine
Which psu is that?
sweet whale
evga 750 gt
cyan ravine
Ah yeah, separate
potent portal
Judging from the cable sleeves I would have guessed either EVGA or Corsair
sweet whale
the 6+2 pin side is the one that goes into the 12 pin adapater right? or does it not matter?
cyan ravine
Yes
potent portal
Correct 6+2 goes to the adapter
Which one of the connectors on the end doesn't technically matter
sweet whale
okay sounds good, was actually straight up gonna use a single cable, but sounds good that it may have not mattered in the end
The fact that there are two extra ends poking out is a slight inconvenience
cyan ravine
Which one of the connectors on the end doesn't technically matter
Can, I've killed a psu this way lol
potent portal
Can, I've killed a psu this way lol
I meant which one of the daisy chained connectors
cyan ravine
Oh my b
potent portal
Sorry if that wasn't clear lol
cyan ravine
I thought you meant which end
Nah all good
Thankfully my story was scary enough they believed my warranty claim 
sweet whale
carrying the motherboard by the cpu cooler should be fine right?
potent portal
Things can bend that shouldn't bend if you do
cyan ravine
Uhhh, i wouldn't
By the mobo heatsink and by the cooler maybe, that's grabbing the bulk of the weight
potent portal
You can support it from the bottom and use the cooler to guide it into place once it's sitting on a surface though
Just don't use too much force to do so or a heat pipe might bend
sweet whale
alright guess I've only been rotating it, so it should be fine
potent portal
There's an EVGA cable for the FE that doesn't need the adapter if you want it to look nicer, I got a similar one for my Corsair. https://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=100-NK-3000-B9
cyan ravine
It's a type 4 cable??
potent portal
My corsair one? Yeah fits my RM850x
They sell it at Best Buy too
I got mine same day pickup

I have to remember that because it's a far better idea than straight extensions

EATX12V is where the CPU cables are put on right?

Yes that seems to be what they're calling the EPS12V (CPU power)

I just set up my new pre built desktop that received in the mail today. My display works for about 5-10 minutes, then it goes black. Doesn't flicker or anything. PC remains on, fans going, the whole thing. Does not seem to be faulty cables on my end as I tested my monitor on my old pc and it worked fine. Any ideas? :(

Sounds like it's just installing some gpu drivers
Unless it lasts more than a minute

It is well more than a minute. It will remain black unless I reboot my PC. I installed the newest drivers for my gpu and made sure the windows updates were up to date as well. I always try to figure it out myself beforehand, but Im kind of at a loss here.

No luck unforutnately. Still getting a black screen. It briefly flickered with green lines across it though.
Is it possible something got knocked around during transit or something? I'm pretty disappointed right now and I'm not too sure what else to do.
potent portal
It's possible the GPU or a wire came loose inside during shipping
rancid quartz
Is that an easy fix I could do myself? I've never even built a pc myself, so I don't know how to go about it.
potent portal
It's pretty easy. Take the side panel off, take out the screws securing the GPU, release the lock on the PCIe slot, and it comes right out. Reverse the process to reinstall.
You can check if the slot got bent while the GPU is out too, that's happened before lol

So you're looking for a 4tb?
dusk ginkgo
Or 2 2tb

200

Theyre both ssds

And $200 won't get you 4tb of ssd storage any way you put it
Here's a $147 2tb nvme drive, good for storage https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Gs7G3C/team-mp33-pro-2-tb-m2-2280-nvme-solid-state-drive-tm8fpd002t0c101
Oh wai
Wrong one
Regular mp33 is oos atm
That's the mp33 pro, slightly better
Than the mp33 non pro*

Cause I also had this unconventional back up
The plan was if I couldn't get two I could get one of those laptop hdds that has 2tb, I know it would be slower but I'd only use it tor file storage of things like svgs
mossy venture
Why replace an hdd with an hdd
dusk ginkgo
Space
mossy venture
But like
You're replacing one hard drive
With another hard drive of the same size
dusk ginkgo
Alright so let me explain why
I have this hdd bay
And I'm trying to build a lcd laptop display into my pc which would require space for a control board and it can't get too hot
mossy venture
So why not get an hdd bay that fits your current hdds
Instead of getting a new hard drive
dusk ginkgo
So why not get an hdd bay that fits your current hdds

Let me how so you can visualize
Excuse the dust, her is my bay. Here is the screen inside to visualize. As we know hdds get pretty toasty and my controller board is very heat sensitive so I have to be creative

Couldn't you just route the cables to the left?
dusk ginkgo
And they block my bottom fan
dusk ginkgo
Couldn't you just route the cables to the left?
The bay my friend, it's hot
dusk ginkgo
Could also get an external bay for them
Yeah but then that's more money
mossy venture
Yeah but then that's more money
As opposed to $140 for a 2tb ssd?
dusk ginkgo
Hdds don't get hot
You never touched an on hdd? They are toasty
dusk ginkgo
Yeah idk
mossy venture
Ah, anyways
If you want 4tb of ssd storage, the bottom budget would pretty much be $280+ tax
If yhe hdds are doing fine for you, I'd just get an external bay for them
dusk ginkgo
What if I did 1tb m.2 and a 2tb ssd
mossy venture
Would be better off just doing 3tb across two nvme
Sata ssds don't tend to be noticeably cheaper
Maybe sk s31, depending on price
Thats as good as some lower end nvme drives
flint sapphire
Do some gen 3s in raid 0 for lols
mossy venture
Nvm, $98 for a 1tb s31
Mp33 1tb is $68
Plus $148 for the mp33 pro 2tb
Do you use all 4tb btw?
mossy venture

I might just get a 1tb m.2 and a laptop 2 tb hdd cause those are fairly cheap snd I can hid it well

I wouldnt bother, if you dont even use 1tb atm the ssd would be the better option
dusk ginkgo
Maybe
Either way if I did that it wouldn't be expensive
I'd only use it for svg files

@mossy venture i built that second pc and i bought some ram but it wouldnt boot with 4 sticks in but it did boot with 2
Are those two sticks bad or is it sum else?
potent portal
4 sticks is a lot harder on the IMC. You probably need to increase the resistance on the cad bus and drive strength. Let me find an example of a 4 stick OC.
@unborn mesa #tech-deals-discussion message
That's what Risen has to run for 4 sticks to work, really high resistances and drive strength.
unborn mesa
Im on a 5700g and a b550a pro mobo if that changes anything to it
potent portal
Not much difference
unborn mesa
Alr
potent portal
That just means you can run higher frequency but that's extra hard with 4 sticks
unborn mesa
Only reason i got 4 sticks was cuz it was cheaper for my to buy 2 sets of 8gbx2 instead of 2x16gb
potent portal
You checked that they were the same memory die right
unborn mesa
Exact same
potent portal
If you're able to post with the 4 sticks you can try messing with the bus and drive like I said. You'll need a lot of vSoC too, try 1.1v
unborn mesa
Tried to a couple times but it wouldnt post
So im guessing one of the sticks might be bad
Ill try now tho
unborn mesa
@potent portal wont post anymore
unborn mesa
Nvm those ram sticks are dead
flint sapphire
wheat coral
do what it says?
unborn mesa
its looping
empty pollen
maybe you have a corrupted windows installer
unborn mesa
just made it again
empty pollen
that should be my first guess on a loop like that
unborn mesa
it downloads the files then said it needed to restart
fossil cedar
You trying to make a windows install usb?
unborn mesa
already made it
and tried my oem drive too
said it had corrupted files so i made one
fossil cedar
So you're trying to install windows on windows now?
empty pollen
try installing on another drive
fossil cedar
But this looks like a in windows error?
unborn mesa
yea it didnt manage to install
fossil cedar
I'd try creating the drive again tbh, might be corrupted
fossil cedar
Weird
unborn mesa
yea first 2 of my ram came out dead so im booting with only 16 til i get new ram sticks
empty pollen
try another drive on your next install to see what happens
bitter mason
on 5600g, PBO (for igpu--it's a thing on new AGESA update) runs 1.25v SOC, so I think 1.25v SOC is safe voltage on non-IOD die
fossil cedar
But you boot to usb it brings you to like screen with blue/purple background and windows looking window floating over it with the install right?
fossil cedar
Yeah I'd make the stick again, also make sure to change boot order/remove usb
When install says it's done
unborn mesa
alr ill be back once i try it
empty pollen
yeah you need to discard suspects, starting with your thumb drive... go and format that and copy a new windows installer
empty pollen
bios have nothing to do with that, dont add fuel to the fire D:
unborn mesa
yea but still need to update anyways
empty pollen
touche
unborn mesa
its a b550a pro mobo so
twas 120 but i liked it so i got it
also went and got rid of some rgb from my build
flint sapphire
The 550 pro is actually a super decent mobo can run pretty much any of intels lineup
unborn mesa
why
empty pollen
you should feel bad
unborn mesa
why tho
empty pollen
xD
mixed a 550 mobo with a intel cpu š could happen to anyone, we were just jk about that š
unborn mesa
took u a bit to type that out u ok?
empty pollen
im fine, im just alt tabbin a lot
unborn mesa
apparently this 5700g is hitting a higher clock speed than my 5900x
@empty pollenhow i get rid of the windows files?
empty pollen
on your stick?
unborn mesa
on the new pc
empty pollen
same error? or this time the installation was successful?
empty pollen
usually on the installation process windows will prompt you to format a partition to install windows
empty pollen
oh
unborn mesa
same error
lemme goto bios to see if i can make it use the usb
changed my boot order now
empty pollen
yeah boot form the stick, partition the disk again to fresh install windows and see what happens this time
empty pollen
destroy the old partition and make a new partition to install a fresh windows
unborn mesa
0X8007025D error code
unborn mesa
empty pollen
yikes
unborn mesa
might be memory stick tbh
had trouble with 2 so
should i throw my pc ram into it and see?
unborn mesa
no i mean my ram from my pc into new pc
visual notch
You can do that.
empty pollen
yup
unborn mesa
gonna try it if it works then im returning these ram sticks
visual notch
Especially since you know it works, it will help problem solve this faster
unborn mesa
gotta turn this pc off
visual notch
and drain the power.
empty pollen
use your phone
empty pollen
however if its the ram then this time it will be a smoth installation
visual notch
if that RAM shows the same thing, you might have a defective mobo
hate to the bearer of bad news
unborn mesa
Under warranty so idc
visual notch
okay good
unborn mesa
I just bought the parts today so i can return
visual notch
you could also try reseating the CPU
if you had even one bad pin contact, it could toss that error too
unborn mesa
Lmao if cpu it comes to cpu then its getting done another day
Didnt post with my ram sticks
unborn mesa
24
visual notch
so 0 and 2, okay, hmm, try 1 and 3.
unborn mesa
Dont post at all in 13
visual notch
try one stick of the RAM in slot 1
visual notch
so it's either mobo or CPU related
I'd just RMA both to be sure.
or return exchange rather
potent portal
Extremely unlikely that it's the CPU unless there's bent pins
unborn mesa
Nah i check before hand
visual notch
I agree, but you never know
unborn mesa
Seated it and it fell right in
unborn mesa
Amd
visual notch
and you checked all pins to ensure they were aligned in a perfect grid?
unborn mesa
Yes
potent portal
Talking numbers, CPUs have the lowest successful RMA rate (the RMA resolved the issue) out of all the PC components, so even when they do get replaced they're not the cause.
unborn mesa
Ah got it to post with my ram sticks
visual notch
wut?
unborn mesa
Wym wut
unborn mesa
Yea it works fine but the ram sticks i got i guess are faulty so its been iffy
visual notch
hmmm, just return exchange the RAM
unborn mesa
Reseated and blew the sockets a bit just incase
visual notch
or RMA it
unborn mesa
Oh yea ofc its getting returned
visual notch
Glad you got it working ^_^
unborn mesa
I got them at micro center so ill just go when it opens today to return it
visual notch
nice
unborn mesa
Now lets see if windows installs
visual notch
that's handy
unborn mesa
These specific sticks tho not the brand in general
Aye never mention corsair ram sticks around here
Nah g skill
Same brand i got in my build
But i got ripjaws instead of neos
visual notch
Hmm, yeah that's odd to have faulty GSkill sticks, but not unheard of. It does happen.
unborn mesa
Yea oh well
potent portal
Gotta love Corsair sticks. They keep me on my toes. Never know when you'll get a crap die that was binned too high and can't hit xmp.

Ahh ofc
Thats why i got no warranty on any parts
Ill gamble but not high stakes

Lets hope it boots up again
BRUHHHH
unborn mesa
Worked
visual notch
Nice
unborn mesa
Lmao
I guess im returning two sets of ram instead of one
Killed my mood tbh
Well now ik whats wrong can do it tmrw
potent portal
Now you can get the 2x16 kit instead lol
unborn mesa
Nope
They getting the same ammount
They dont need 32
Oh wait nvm i read that wrong
@visual notch aye i got a question
Does this go on with the little protector or do i take it off
visual notch
that's your backplate to your mobo is it not?
visual notch
is your CPU cooler mounted properly and everything?
visual notch
keep it in a spare-parts area just in case you ever need it.
visual notch
Oh, huh. My mobo didn't come with such a thing.
unborn mesa
Both of mine did
The b550f has it on but the b550a doesnt
I left it on the f cause i didnt see it but i saw it on the new one and took it off
visual notch
Not sure if that's part of the anti-grounding kit to prevent shorts or what. Maybe someone else knows.
unborn mesa
Could be š¤·āāļø
formal girder
That's a backplate for certain coolers on am4 boards they have two different methods
fossil cedar
Oh, huh. My mobo didn't come with such a thing.
With am4 you basically always use stock backplate it's great
visual notch
With am4 you basically always use stock backplate it's great
Yeah, I remembered not having to remove anything from the back of my mobo for my AIO mount on my former desktop
unborn mesa
With am4 you basically always use stock backplate it's great
I used the stock backplate but it had like a plastic piece between the backplate and the mobo
fossil cedar
That's probably supposed to be like that
unborn mesa
I took it off
potent portal
I used the stock backplate but it had like a plastic piece between the backplate...
That's to keep the metal backplate from touching metal on the back of the board
fossil cedar
Ye
unborn mesa
Ill put it on later then
potent portal
Most boards design a safe zone where that backplate is supposed to be but better safe than sorry
potent portal
Any electrician will tell you that's a bad idea unless it's a standalone unit and not the building's.

better cpu, much better gpu, better monitor, more fans with your case, $200 cheaper

1440p monitor definitely fits in the budget though
cyan ravine
Yeah would def use a 1440p with a 3070
earnest olive
1080p high refresh is fine with a 3070 too, depends on the games
if you really really want to always have 144+ fps
so yeah, white 3070 + 1440p144 monitor still comes out to 1500

Everything arrived today as per https://pcpartpicker.com/list/QFmc4s and I wanted to know if all 5 of the fans could be daisy chained and plugged into one 12v rgb header.
The motherboard manual (https://download.msi.com/archive/mnu_exe/mb/MAGB660MMORTARWIFIDDR4_MAGB660MMORTARDDR4.pdf) only states the number of leds for the argb connectors. Here are the specs for the fans: https://www.arctic.de/media/17/34/38/1630395532/Spec_Sheet_P12_PWM_PST_RGB_0dB_DE.pdf

i am just buying bit by bit just because i dont have the money to buy itt all at once so yea
i shall just buy the case and motherboard becuase i only have enough money for them 2 atm

12 per fan = 60 total = yes I think
Awesome. Thanks.

yes it says up to two meters of 12v rgb or 3A on that header which should be wayyyy more than 60 LED's. EDIT: Yes, only 1.2A for 5 fans
