Having issues. The NZXT Cam software will control the RBG and fan speed of only NZXT fans which is fine with me on the RGB end I can't see any of them anyway. However I tried the Gigabyte Control Center to run the case fans at a certain speed or curve and no it won't work together. I tried a couple of other apps and they just shut down the NZXT software which is not good at all. So it's either junk the cooler and get another one to try, buy multiple NZXT hubs to control the multitude of fans and all the stuff almost all of it only talks about LED control which I don't care. Or buy a multide of NZXT fans. As is now the pump on the cooler works but the case fans only run at wide open. When the generic pump was on the computer I could set a curve for the fans. Annoying.

stupidmonkey stupidmonkey Unless you changed your fans/ AIO out you have a similar setup, how are you controlling them? I recall having a bunch of different bloatware to control lights before I got sick of it all. I also recall setting my fan curves in the BIOS.

That's what I used on the computer it is replacing. First time working on with a new dual chamber case. Slightly related I did add a second M.2 and now the new insta latch system is a lot easier than dicking with a tiny screw on my old Am4 board.

Going back to that will be the next option. I just waned to try to cam software the kraken pump but it is highly set up to be only for their stuff and only their stuff. From case, motherbord, AIO, and fans. No thanks.

I did look at SignalRGB. That was a giant load just looking at it, not downloading it. You have to pay to get fan control and no you just don't buy the software, it's a fucking monthly subscription. I can see that would be a disaster in the making. Get it set up and then they change or whatever, almost $50/year. Fuck that. Glad I didn't even download it to look at it.

I did notice in looking around a lot of the search results and discusion wason how to control each LED on whatever item. Not just have an item be whatever color. So a radiator might have 20 LEDS and they wanted to be able to map out each one. Too much for me, and like I said thankfully I have a large desk and the computer is behind the monitor where I can't see it.

Haven't changed anything since I turned it on. I haven't spun it up in a couple weeks since beating Nioh 3. Will check it out tomorrow.

Just noticed my Arctic MX-7 thermal paste has a website to check to make sure it's not counterfit. Seemed odd.

i grabbed this a while back because it was recommended on someone's custom room LED light setup. I don't remember the specifics of the features (partially finished... maybe partially started... project I haven't gotten back to yet), but if you just want it for light control, you don't have to pay. fucking annoying to use though, feels like it was developed on someone's phone who's never actually owned a desktop. there was an open source alternative, maybe openrgb? can't remember whether it actually did the job or not. it was a stupid week of LED-ing, and I've apparently blocked most of it out of my brain for now.

I've built a number of computers going back 20 years or more. I gotta tell you just trying out some of the popular LED apps made building a computer look like elementary school. They definitely go for the most difficult for the smallest result theme. At first I just wanted to be able to turn them off and that wasn't as easy as on/off on some of them. Dumb me. I forget which one I unistalled it but I had looked at a video and the ability to turn off all the LEDs you had to click on the small "i" bottom for info about the company and then go from there. You know, not under a menu setting or something.

But all good now, LEDs off and fans are working.

Any suggestions on an AM4 cooler? ITX build in a Fractal Designs Node 304 cube. I am upgrading the htpc with a Ryzen 5700G. Presently have a Wraith Spire Prism which gets noisy so thinking of changing to a cheapo Thermalight.

i don't really know itx and thats a rather low tdp cpu, but it sounds like you might even be thermal throttling if your wraith gets that noisey

if youre already having issues on a wraith (and who wouldn't) the spirit 120 is a good enough replacement, if you have the budget

it will "barely" fit, the peerless assassin is sitting at 158mm and the max the 304 can accept is 165mm

i did aio upgrade, last weekend my wife said she heard a funny sound, coming from the htpc, it's the pump on the arctic3, it's very slight, and happens once in a while, but she heard it and i'm just going to upgrade, idc.

so i went back to bequiet, and decided to upgrade to a 420mm
be quiet! Silent Loop 3 420mm CPU AIO Liquid Cooler | 3 Silent Wings 4 140mm PWM High-Speed Fans | Quiet Performance | 6-Pole Motor | Discreet ARGB Lighting | Refillable | Black | BW026

now... does my lianli 217 fit a 420mm in the front? (it's too long to fit the top). it does even w/ the 170mm in the front. dead quiet now

New CuckRAM to deal with artificial and a.i. shortages:

Intel, & ASRock's HUDIMM Standard Could Finally Make DDR5 Memory Affordable for Budget PC Builders

ASRock, Intel & Teamgroup have come together to address concerns related to higher DDR5 memory prices with the new HUDIMM standard.

In a brand new collaboration between ASRock, Intel & Teamgroup, the three companies may finally have a solution that opens the path for affordable DDR5 memory modules.

While two sub-channel memory sticks are the ideal choice for high-capacity PC builds, they do not make much sense for budget PC builds, especially given today's memory prices. So memory sticks with one sub-channel, such as HUDIMMs, will be the practical choice for the majority of PC builders and gamers.

ASRock has already enabled support for HUDIMM DDR5 memory on its 600/700/800 series motherboards. And the performance is actually really good despite the halving of the sub-channels. The reduced channels only reduce the capacities, so whereas you'd see a DRAM module with all banks occupied, a HUDIMM will only have half of the banks occupied by DRAM ICs.

ASRock shared some performance figures showcasing how an 8 GB HUDIMM (1 x 32-bit) paired with a 16 GB UDIMM (2 x 32-bit) offers higher bandwidth than a single 24 GB UDIMM (2 x 32-bit). This shows that a one sub-channel memory stick can run perfectly with a two sub-channel memory stick. Since it's cheaper to produce these kits, and affordable for users to purchase, getting an 8 GB memory and matching it with a 16 GB memory will be a much cheaper route than a single 24 GB stick.

The one sub-channel DDR5 memory technology will also be available in HSODIMM options as a budget replacement for SODIMMs with better performance, lower pricing, and compact form factors.
