  1. Click on the link I posted and you can see what I am talking about. Not 40-60"... 64 x 32 pixels. The power bricks are the size of laptop power bricks.
  2. Issue 1: - Ideally this hangs on a wall like a picture frame so I really do not have room for 6 power bricks. Issue 2: - This is low powered adafruit LED screens connecting them to a PC #1 would be difficult/ and again limit the ability to have this as a picture frame.
  3. I am working on a project based on the MLB LED Scoreboard project. My goal is to have 6 Adafruit RGB LED 64 x 32 - 4mm screens. Each screen will display a different MLB game score. They will all be mounted on a board with the wires and PI's hidden on the back. I also plan to use the Adafruit RGB Matrix HAT. I would like to have these wired together as nicely as possible, which leads me to my 2 issues. Issue 1: I do not want to have 6 power bricks. How can I wire all of this together to gave one power source? Issue 2: Not as major. If anyone happens to have any suggestions on how I can do this without having 6 Pis that would be appreciated. I appreciate any help anyone can give on this project. Not the best with wiring everything. If you can think of any way that this project can be improved please share!
  4. Okay, good to know. Haven't messed around with AMD APU's much. I've only used Quadro cards with Xeons. If I go workstation card route I might just go with the 5600X.
  5. I am considering going the old workstation card route. I know of a place I might be able to get old Quadro's for fairly cheap. Thanks for the help!
  6. So I am working on a build that will likely use integrated graphics. Using either the Ryzen 5 5600G or the 12600K. The person I am building this for needs 3 maybe even 4 monitors. How do you suggest getting enough ports considering GPU prices are a mess. I can go with a very low end GPU for the extra ports but my concern there is I would be throwing performance away because the integrated graphics likely would out preform the super low end card. I have seen motherboards with 2 outputs which gets me almost there.
  7. What I mean is the air will blow directly onto the GPU. Then be sucked out through those fans.
  8. This is something I have considered but wouldn't the GPU just be blocking it.
  9. As someone who has held their hand there while it is running there is defiantly cool air coming in. I think it is more of an exhaust issue.
  10. Can you explain why it won't help much? There is fresh air coming in the front, and would be blowing directly on the radiator.
  11. It would not be below the pump it would be inline with the pump. Pretty normal use.
  12. [Solved] Update: Put a much more powerful 120mm fan in replacing the SP100 that was there. Temps have dropped 30 degrees. So I am having some temperature problems in my small form factor build sleeper PC build. (Photos below) To give an idea of the dimensions the entire case is the same footprint exactly as a mATX motherboard. Specs: Ryzen 5600X (stock cooler) MSI RTX 3060 16 GB 3600hz memory 750 watt corsair SFX PSU Pictures below are old. The changes are the PSU is upside-down with a fan mounted outside the case to pull air through then the PSU fan is not on. (not the best idea but limited options) The cables around the CPU are moved to make it more clear over there. Other difference is the GPU is now a 3060 instead of the pictured 770TI. The only ventilation is the entire front and that tiny slit you can see pictured in the back. As well as the GPU and PSU vents. 120mm Fan in the front pulls air in. Now for the issues... Running Cinebench R23 for 10 minutes puts me at 95 degrees or close to it. Any games that push the CPU at all will get me 95 as well. After messing around with some small fans and not making much progress I am thinking about getting a 120mm AIO for where the 120mm fan is. I would need to find a thin AIO as there is not much space. Does anyone have a suggestion for a thin radiator AIO or an entirely different solution. ---------------- GPU temperatures are fine (for now). Pretty much has its own section down there where it can pull air in the front and blow it out the back.
  13. What does this even do? Seems pretty useless.
  14. Great thank you for the help. The only issue is going to be figuring out which direction to plug the header in. Motherboard is 3 pins a 12 4 layout and the RBG cable from the fan is 4 pins. I know what each pin does on the motherboard just need to determine what they do on the fan.
  15. I really am only trying to give power to the lights so they turn on. Are you telling me I need to buy $80 worth of controllers to do that and I cannot just plug it into power?
  16. I have one Corsair SP120 RGB Pro fan and a MSI MAG B550m mortar Wifi motherboard. The motherboard has a 5v RGB port and a 12v RGB port. It appears these ports are intended for RGB strips and not fans. Can I plug in the RGB cable from the Corsair fan into the RGB header on this motherboard? Or do I have no choice but to get the controller. If I can just plug it right into the motherboard then which direction? There is no indication. Also I do not care if I cannot customize the lighting. If I can great otherwise not the end of the world.
  17. So I need a USB C cable for the quest 2 that is longer than than the one from Oculus (16ft). I need more like 25ft. Currently everyone says "a high quality USB C cable will work" but I cannot seem to find one. Looking for about a 25ft USB C to C 3.1 cable (probably will need to be an active cable). Anyone know of any? Thanks for the help!
  18. I'll give it a try haha not much of a solution but
  19. There appears to be a widespread problem with booting into newer releases of various Linux distros with Ryzen 3rd gen. I have a Ryzen 5 3600 on a MSI b450m gaming plus motherboard with latest bios update(7/25) and am unable to boot into both manjaro and ubuntu. Apparently it has something to do with systemd. AMD apparently released a fix in early July and released it to motherboard vendors. I have the most recent bios update and I am still having this issue. I contacted MSI but they were no help claiming they cannot discuss anything Linux related because they do not support it. Would not let me know if AMD's fix has made it into any of their new bios releases. Has anyone else had similar issues or know of a solution? If I was not clear of anything let me know. Here are some articles I have read: https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=AMD-Releases-Linux-Zen2-Fix https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Ryzen-3K-RdRand-Systemd-Maybe https://forum.level1techs.com/t/ryzen-3000-booting-linux-and-you/144702
  20. I have a mini ITX/ Micro ATX case and want to get Ryzen 5 3600. Do I have any options? Am I out of luck?
  21. buying from the US and probably a 2070 super and a 4790
  22. What is a good 650 watt power supply. Everywhere I look there are reviews for and against stuff so I am a little lost. I would like to buy something on amazon for prime day...anyone have any links to some good ones?
