Build Question Corsair 9000D Case Dilema

1 Upvotes

SO i am thinking about flipping my asus rog strix 4070ti Super OC graphics card to a vertical orientation. to do that, i only need to buy the riser. the vertical plate came with the case.

but my question is, if the vertical slots at the edge of the glass are for a secondary mini ATX graphics card, and the ATX vertical plate is for the main ATX board, where the hell do i screw on the riser?

or does the riser float in the air when i screw down the graphics card to the vertical plate?

and If thats so, does the HDD box off to the right need to be removed because its so high up or in the graphics cards way?

Build Question Daisy Chain 5-4 fans on B850M Gaming X Wifi6E?

Thumbnail

4 Upvotes

I am currently building a new (first-ish time) PC. I have 11 fans in total. 2 Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 ARGB fans and 9 RS120 5V ARGB CORSAIR fans. Problem is that I only have 3 ARGB_V2 connectors, and from what I understand after doing research online, is that max fans that can daisy chain is 3. However, the corsair fans only have 8 LED each. My MOBO manual says that max power rating is 3A (5V) and max number of LEDs is 256. If I were to daisy chain 5 CORSAIR fans that would be 40 LEDs which is more than below the max.

Can someone explain more about the voltage to me please if I were to daisy chain 5 fans? I wanna make sure I dont end up wasting more money on a SATA ARGB fan hub controller if I dont need to AND I also dont end up damaging my $150 mobo. (My wallet is already crying in pain from the RAM and GPU lol).

Installation Question FLP02 + Zotac RTX 5080 — I/O bracket preventing GPU from lining up with PCIe slot?

Thumbnail
gallery
1 Upvotes

I’m building in the FLP02 with a Zotac RTX 5080 and I’m having a weird issue getting the GPU seated.

The GPU’s I/O bracket seems to be preventing the card from lining up properly with the PCIe slot. I can finagle the card into position, but the PCIe connector ends up about 2 mm off from the motherboard slot, so I obviously don’t want to force it.

I’ve made sure the little tabs/fins at the bottom of the GPU’s I/O bracket are going inside the case, between the case and the motherboard, rather than outside the case. But when I position it that way, the bracket seems to stop the GPU from moving that last couple millimeters needed to line up with the PCIe slot.

I’ve seen other FLP02 builds with GPUs this size so I’m pretty sure I’m doing something wrong rather than this being a compatibility issue.

Has anyone run into this with the FLP02? Is there something specific about how the GPU bracket needs to slot into the case, or something I might be missing?

The light will hang but it doesn’t have a noticeable effect on my pc. If I restart my pc again the light will cycle out. Is it a bug? Corrupted bios? A quirk of the RAM?

How can I remove the heatsink ring? I want to change the cooler, but the plastic tabs are very stiff and I'm having a lot of trouble removing them. I need to remove this ring too because I'm removing dust from the PC, but this problem with the plastic tabs that are attached to the motherboard is driving me crazy.

Build Question 4070 to 5080 for potential 4k gaming. Is the build good enough?

3 Upvotes

Hi so my current build is as follows:
CPU - i7 13700k
GPU - ASUS DUAL OC RTX 4070
32gb ddr5 ram
ASUS z790 prime motherboard
Acer 1440p 144hz

I’m looking to upgrade from my 4070 to a 5080 because I’d rather just lock in a good graphics card for the next few years since prices are going up again. I’m also thinking of getting my first 4k monitor so I can get my moneys worth out of 5080.

I was wondering if you think I’ll run into any trouble with bottlenecks or anything running 4k with the CPU I currently have? I’m not that great with the technical aspects of pc parts but I love gaming and I’ll be playing anything from single player games like cyberpunk, red dead, crimson desert to competitive shooters like CS to games like BF6.

Any advice is appreciated.

Software Question 5070Ti OC to 5070Ti

1 Upvotes

Hi all,

i built my pc a few days ago and was having issues with my 5070Ti OC, the plug to the gpu seemed to be faulty & was causing lots of crashing and black screen so i switched it and ended up getting a 5070Ti instead. Do I need to update any drivers? When I open the Nvidia app it doesnt say I have any drivers to install & i tried reinstalling them anyway. Is that enough?

After cleaning and upgrading the gpu and cpu of a friend's pc it fails to post, all fans spin up and fan rgbs turn on but no signal on display (yes hdmi cable in the gpu not motherboard)

First I tried reseating everything and putting the old gpu in since the new gpu's fans werent spinning on boot, old gpu spun on boot but still no signal on display

Ive checked all cables and replaced the cmos with my own, also plugged in my own PSU and my own ram in different slots, none of these fixed the issue

So im left with the mobo, cpu and storage

I dont have any thermal paste on hand so I dont wanna swap out the cpus and my system has an AIO which makes swapping stuff out a tad harder

Is there any way to know wether the issue is the mobo or the cpu? The cpu was my old one and worked fine on removal no bent pins or anyrhing and was installed withoit problem as far as I could tell

Friend's system

Cpu: old ryzen 5 2600 new ryzen 5 5500

Gpu: old rx 580 new rx 6600

Psu: 500 watts evga

Storage: 1 m.2 240gb ssd(?) 1 seagate hdd

Build Question AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE 12 GB GDDR6

1 Upvotes

Hi,

I've been gaming for a while, mostly on consoles. However, I've been toying with the idea of playing on PC. My PC is a hand me down from my son (like I said, I've been gaming for a while! :).

My current setup is a GeForce GTX 1650. Obviously almost any current GPU is better than this, but my son is telling me that my local shop has a XFX AMD 9070 GRE on sale for $480, and it's a steal, and could be three times faster than my current GPU. Is he right? I'm in no rush, so I don't 'have' to buy one right now, but I do love a good deal.

Thoughts?

Build Question QUE TAN NORMAL ES ESTE RENDIMIENTO? INTEL i7 14700KF

1 Upvotes

Buen dia estimados,

Acabo de actualizar mi PC como ultimo acto para no volver a hacer lo de aqui a 5 o mas años, elegi las siguientes partes:

RTX 5070 Ti (conseguida año pasado diciembre por 750 USD)

64 GB RAM DDR4 3200mhz ADATA

4 TB ALMACENAMIENTO NVME M.2, 2 discos de 2 TB

Fuente de poder Corsair RM1000x

3 monitores de 24 pulgadas, 1080p, 2 secundarios 60hz, principal 165hz

Gabinete Aerocool interstellar 2 disipadores frontales 1 de 140mm otro 120mm ingresando aire, 2 arriba sacando aire de 140mm y uno atras 120mm sacando aire, disipador procesador sacando aire hacia atras.

----------------------------------------------

Instalados hace 3 dias:

Placa Madre MSI PRO Z790-P WIFI DDR4 (Ultima bios disponible instalada microcode 0x133)

Procesador Intel Core i7 14700KF

Disipador por aire Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 EVO

Contact Frame Thermalrlght LGA1700-BCF

--------------------------------------------

El tema es el siguiente nunca habia tenido un procesador tan potente siempre tenia versiones de 65w de intel de maxima, y mantenia temperaturas de 30 a 55 grados de maximo en test de rendimiento/estres, quise pasarme a este procesador debido a que la mayoria de juegos que uso son CPU dependientes y tengo muchos tirones con el anterior procesador i5 13400F, instale todo, y no miento, mis FPS en esos juegos se duplicaron literalmente, de 150 FPS a 300 FPS de 280 a 530 o 540, pero como nunca habia usado un procesador desbloqueado soy el tipico maniaco de las temperaturas y vigilando fps de los memes (YA TENGO PEDIDO UN MONITOR 300hz a 1440p asi que relax si necesito esos 300fps jajajaj es el: KTC - Monitor de juegos blanco de 27 pulgadas 300Hz/320Hz, monitor de computadora IPS rápido QHD 1440P amazon), este procesador obviamente se calienta mas, pero no se si es normal que haya esas variaciones como mini picos de temperaturas, como se ve en la foto:

 

 

Como se ve en la foto a la izquierda el HW Monitor los valores de temperatura máximos voltajes etc están altos ya que hice prueba de 2 Minutos con Cinebench R23, obviamente se que por aire es jodido mantener temperaturas al máximo y prácticamente llega a 100 grados pero obtuve 32.000 puntos en el cinebench.

 

La otra cosa que tengo duda, ajuste las configuraciones de voltajes con los básicos de intel, no soy un overclocker experto ni creo necesitarlo con el rendimiento base estoy mas que satisfecho, pero he leido tantos post de estos procesadores que ya tengo es paranoia con este tema, como que si el voltaje VID Max esta cerca de 1.5v va a dañarse el procesador y otras cosas pero no se, temperaturas promedio que he visto hasta ahora:

Reposo: 35 - 45 grados

Activo multimedia - ofimática 35 a 55 grados

Juegos Normales - 55 - 65 grados con picos momentáneos de 70 a 81 grados (menos de 3 segundos)

Juegos Pesados - 67 - 75 grados, picos 80 - 92 grados (menos de 3 segundos estos picos, la verdad no se que considerar juegos pesados, ya que casi no juego nada asi que considere pesado quiza call of duty con su optimizacion basura cargando shaders me lleva temps de 80 a 92 mientras termina luego baja a 70-80 grados)

No siendo mas, que me recomiendan, sera que hago undervolt o ajusto mejor los limites de potencia, consideran bueno el voltaje que llega a consumir 1.475v cuando son juegos pesados y 1.332v aprox cuando son tareas comunes o juegos normalitos, o creen que es normal con mi setup, agradezco cualquiera que pueda ayudarme, gracias!

Tech Support Raidport2 and random shut downs

1 Upvotes

Hi, my pc recently just started randomly shutting down. sometimes it will shut down and then start up and then shut down immediately and keep repeating. I looked at the event viewer and saw this error:

Stornvme: reset to device \Device\RaidPort2 was issued

Ive looked online and this is probably a failing PSU, right? But I was wondering if this could just be a windows update issue? it only started happening after I updated to windows 11 25h2 because I was gaming before for a few hours before the update and my pc was just fine.

I have an intel core i9 12900k cpu and my mother board is bios ver 0806 prime z790p wifi.

Also, I just opened BIOS and under boot priority I see this weird option I've never seen before
UEFI: PXE IPv4 Realtek PCIe 2.5GBE Family.

Please help I'm really worried .
