I used the wrong screw on my air cooler, noticed it literally just before I started tightening the screws, do I need to reapply the paste since I have to unseat it? I'm talking like 2 minutes after applying.

>>107544366
shouldnt matter at all. if you are worried, you can just unscrew the cooler and scoop up all of the paste and centre it on the IHS again before retightening the screws

Can compressed air damage anything inside your system?

>>107544380
actual air compressor or those little gay safety ones the Euros use?

>>107544377
Thanks

How overkill is the the HAVN BF360? I am sitting on a Lian Li lancool 216 but it's too "open" even with the optional dust filter and fighting dust is an uphill battle for me it seems
Was looking for a new case to, yeah, sidegrade for possibly better dust control and proper integrated anti sag gpu support would be a nice touch too.

>>107544380
Air from a compressor or the one in cans?

>>107544380
Just don't blow debris inside the GPU and you'll be fine

>>107544388
>>107544396
Either the can with the red straw thing or those handheld electric ones

>>107544417
No. Unless you're using cheap electronics. The cans and electric ones don't have enough pressure to blow away and chips or capacitors in a motherboard. Again, unless you bough some chink motherboard.
Just remember to jam the fans so they don't spin. If they spin too fast they generate electricity which damages whatever it's plugged into.

Im building a PC, I have an AIO cooler and not sure which mobo socket to plug it into, CPU FAN or one of the FAN PUMP sockets. Instructions are vague and google has mixed results. I have a silent loop 3 aio cooler with 2 fans on the radiator and 4 case fans. aorus elite x870 wifi 7 mobo

>>107544471
The pump plugs into the pump header and the fans of the aio go on the cpu fan header.

>>107544392
why not buy a h20 and do a full passive liquid cooling, no more dust

>>107544471
Pump goes in the FAN_PUMP. Fans in the radiator goes in the FAN_CPU.
I personally wouldn't daisy chain my radiator fans with my other fans. Just because I can control my radiator fans by itself without affecting my other exhaust fans.

>>107544484
There is only one plug the manual says to plug it into the AIO header, but as I said my mobo doesn't have that

oh the yurosissy ones are safe, just make sure you put on your EU mandated safety glasses before using.

Be extra careful when using an actual air compressor, you can break stuff with that, but I think they're banned in the EU.

just use an external liquid cooler, not a radiator, an actual liquid cooler that reduces temp without causing condensation

>>107544518
>1 radiator fan into CPU FAN and the other radiator fan into CPU OPT
That's not what I meant. I meant don't chain your radiator fans to your other exhaust fans.
Keep your 2 or 3 radiator fans daisy chain but only them. This say I can mas out my radiator fans if I need to but keep my other exhaust fans at 50% or something.

This is in the recommendations due to the cooling performance in the GamersNexus review, right? Cause I bought it recently, and the case is nice, sure, but the fans it comes with (both the front and bottom ones) are absolute trash and cause an annoying-ass howling/whining sound at idle speeds. Contacted Lian Li's customer service, still waiting for a response.

>>107544587
I said 4090 not 5090.
>>107544579
why am I dumb and he is dumber. He just got a 5090 and is selling me this to recoup some money and I'm just getting fist picks.

I doubt they will name it that, they had several revisions of LF III already and stick with the name, current LF III is nothing like the original.

You get a more reliable asetek pump and you can set it's fan speed to match the coolant temps

It's LF III because it has THREE fans.

I get it, even though there are 2 and 1 fan models, the 360 is still the main one they always present. As I said, I doubt they would change the name.

During assembly I accidentally opened the AIO liquid cooler because I thought I needed to fill it, I closed it and chatgpt says it should be fine but it recommended running the liquid cooler at 100% for 10-15 mins and listening for bubbling sounds and checking for leakage. Does that seem like a good idea or a bad idea

Those tests are everything but typical use. You don't buy an OLED and have it showing the same static elements at high brightness for several hours a day.

yes

sure why not.
running at 100% is no problem.
buy maybe you will have to move around the rad or pump to get the air move into the rad.
but try it just with the 100% first before moving it around.

How did I do, fellow /pcbg/ kids? My first PC. I bought the parts end of October, RAM cost me 180 EUR. So far the computer is very good, very fast. I do not play games but tested it with some popular new games I bought from Steam and also Diablo 4 because I used to play Diablo 2 more than 20 years ago. They run very good at 100fps (vsync enabled on my 1080p 100hz monitor) at max settings

>>107546062
You won't see any difference.
Only possible CPU upgrade is 5800x3d but that's also marginal unless you play the autism games (4x, factorio etc.)
Save for whole set of CPU MOBO RAM or just get new GPU.

How is the shortage going to affect 60 series?
6070 Ti will be $1200+ for 24 GB, or are they gonna keep it at 16 GB for lower price?

you can still find 5070Ti for 14% off MSRP and 5080 10% off. I thought about getting 5090, assuming it will hold the value well just like 4090 did, but I don't need something so powerful and expensive for gaming, especially when there's no good triple goy games coming out.

It comes down to your needs, wants and budget. Market swindling is expected to last for about 5 years, if you are planing to upgrade during that period you are guaranteed to pay more than if you did it today and depending on your needs it might be fine to take that route for a bigger performance boost, upgrading right before the new gen always feels retarded even when its not.

>>107543266
>what fucking retarded resolutiom is that
slightly bigger 720p and it's not stretched, it's about the biggest window you can fit on a 1080p screen without covering everything else
he likes multitasking yet refuses to buy a bigger resolution monitor, so he uses everything in a tiny window
>>107543276
I think his PC cost a decent bit of coin 4 years ago. It was easily capable of 1440p gaming back in 2021, he just refuses to. He's also Swiss so decidedly NOT a poorfag.
I think he might have the type of autism that likes consistency and schedule and despises change and progress on a personal level.

I have 32GB of DDR5 SODIMM RAM from my laptop because I upgraded it before all this. I'm thinking of buying a Minisforum BD790i X3D motherboard and putting those 32GB in it (I would put the original 16GB back in my laptop) to build an ITX system with a Fractal Design Terra case and an RTX 5080 that I recently bought (€1000).

Yes, but since that motherboard has a 7945hx3d which comes with its 3D cache, it compensates somewhat, although my current desktop PC is a 12700F with 32GB of RAM, so I suppose it could last a while longer.

What card? 10c is generally considered the breaking point for normal.

>>107546938
switch to intel arc

>>107546927
Clean just a little, what's outside the IHS, or simply clean everything and reapply less thermal paste.

>>107546938
repaste but you shouldnt have to. get a model with ptm7950 or return it.

>>107546876
I think it's normal. I don't think AMD is good for hotspots or something like that. Ideally, it shouldn't be more than 15°C, but that won't damage your GPU.

>>107546949
how do i get the paste under the sam out?

>>107546927
Oh man wtf

>>107546956
these models come with 7950 by default tho i did buy this at launch where a lot of the initial batches ran hot

>>107546961
ye it never goes that crazy on less intensive shit i play

>>107546961
https://www.techpowerup.com/review/asrock-radeon-rx-9070-xt-monster-hunter-wilds-edition/35.html

gpu core should be at 50-60c range not near 80c.

>>107546965
Did it fall into the socket? Use plenty of isopropyl alcohol spray until all the thermal paste is removed. If it's only on the outside, don't worry, it's not conductive and won't affect anything (although too much thermal paste does the opposite of what you want, which is to cool it).

>>107546878
No, but Corsair is a premium brand. Elite and rich people like it. I have the memory of this company, it is excellent

>Samsung to halt Sata drive production
FUUUCCCKKKKK. I'm out of M.2 slots and this year there is less than 10 2tb Sata drives for sale and half of them are incredibly overpriced (price of 4tb NVME drive) and other half are dramless QLC drives that cost the same as a TLC NVME drive with dram.

I guess in 4 years when ram prices go normal I can get a YMTC Chinese Sata drive.

>>107547000
can you be elite and poor

>>107546985
Those tests are done on an open test bench, not in a PC case, so they'll never be real-world temperatures. In that case, change the thermal paste and undervolt. Honestly, I think those are normal temperatures. You should only worry when the hotspot reaches 115°C and starts thermal throttling.

>>107546927
Because of the thermal paste on the processor that covers the marking, only Baba Vanga can find out what kind of processor you have. it would be better if you posted the name of the motherboard and the name of CPU obtained through AIDA64.

>>107546882
CPU AMD RYZEN 5 5500
GPU AMD RX 6600
MOTHERBOARD A520 CHIPSET

They use a regular ATX case for the test.
Again its winter season. It's cold right now. 50-60c should be your GPU right now. Mines is 30C just at idle the fans aren't even on. If I play a light game the fans still wont turn on either. 80c during winter just for edge temp is very high.

>>107547034

>>107547034
separately you'll be buttfucked by ram alone. prebuilt's fine, my 6600/5700X rig totaled round the $700 mark too

>>107547016
sure, just steal

>>107547016
It happens. Mathematician Grigory Perelman can. By the way, the fact that Corsair is a premium brand does not mean that Corsair memory modules are not available to the poor. It's just that the poor don't use DDR5, but for example use DDR3.

Buying pre builts and stealing heir ram is still be best get rich quick scheme, but its getting more popular do it while you can

>>107547044
How are you so sure of that? What cases are you using and how is the fan of your case? If you're so scared, just replace it then, That won't take you more than 10 minutes. I honestly don't think you'll see a difference; it's not a temperature that will damage or shorten its lifespan. Honestly, current chips are too robust. You can also always undervolt; the RX 7000 and 9000 series have good undervolting headroom.

I just had an epiphany, why not make pc components water proof so we can use negative air on them?

>>107547096
also You can also modify the fan curve; it may need some adjustment.

I got my PC on installments and will pay ~175 euro extra on top of my ~1400 euro PC over the 12 monthly payments.
For comparison the same exact configuration right now costs 1800 euro. The only part that has gotten slightly cheaper over the last couple of months is the GPU going down by 25 bucks kek
I was concerned initially, but now I definitely know I made the right choice by boughting asap and not waiting 2-3 more months to save up money. I got it at the end of August.

This is especially profitable if you are a regular member of / fit/ and you have a BBC or BWC.

Hey /pcbg/, I currently have 16GB ram (x2 8GB chips). They're TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Z, DDR4, 3600MHz, CL18, 1.35 volts. I want to upgrade to 32GB before the prices for these get too shitty, and I don't mind sticking with DDR4.
There's a place selling the same pair, but I also found another shop selling the TeamGroup T-Force Delta RGB, with the exact same specs, but at a lower price. Can I "mix" these two models, since they have the specs are the same, or is there some more internal thing that isn't listed in the specs but might cause weird issues between them?
I don't have any fans above the RAM sticks, so the RGB ones being taller than the ones I have right now isn't an issue.

>>107547848
3600cl18 is achievable by many different types of memory chips so its a gamble on what you'll get and whether or not you'll be stable mixing two kits
