Hey guys, I have been researching a bit but it seems like those with MSI motherboards have been having trouble with some fan control software. I have been using MSI Command Center, but sometimes it will shut my TT Riing fans off completely. If I am able to get them back on without a restart the LED's will not come back on. So I was wondering what anyone would suggest as far as fan and pump control software, I prefer not to go through bios a million times perfecting it. I have an MSI Z170i Gaming Pro AC ITX motherboard a 6700k & 1080ti both cooled with a custom loop. I have 3 TT Riing fans connected to the Syst fan header My pump and 2 Vardar fans are connected to the CPU fan header. While on the subject, I am looking to replace my EK on my radiator with something much more quiet. any suggestions besides Corsair ML series. Thanks

This is an I win 301

Manually adjusting in bios, all other fans hooked up respond to it. I’ve tries both with just the pump header attached and just the moleX attached and both. I get nothing

As you normally would starting a functioning pc. I lost my connector from ek so I’m fully hooked up

The tubing in the rear is a tad pinched when pulled down, st this point it’s not a final location, everything will be moved. At this point I am solely confused by the lack of pump operation As far as how it is currently powered, pin connector plugged into the sysfan header, moleX is plugged into moleX cable running directly to power supply. Thank you for you current attention to my problem by the way

Yes, that’s how it is setup at the moment. I’ve been going through hell to get this pump to power on, it was easiest for me to leave in the system and work with how it currently is. My methods aren’t always the most conventional

Keep in mind while filling the pump is right side up, standing vertical

Let me know if you need a different angle, I still for the life of me don’t know why we still use moleX in 2019

Guys I replaced my old pump with this xres 140 revo d5. For some reason I cannot get this pump to fire up no matter what. I’ve tried both the sysfan pinout and the cpu one. I’ve tried a direct link into the thermaltake fan hub. And ive tried all the molex adapters that I have lying around. What would be a common cause of this not working? I know most RMAs are user error so I’m really trying to trouble shoot this as much as possible but for now I am really at a loss on what to do.

Thank you for the insight, much appreciated

Hey everyone, I have been doing my research and have learned quiet a bit recently regarding dedicated game servers. I am looking to set my own up as I have come into an old rack mount that I am dying to build something in. I am looking to host games like Arma 3 (100 Players), DayZ (if it ever releases) and similar titles. I am also looking to host a team speak server and maybe a few other things also. I have been looking into refurbished and used servers and they seem to be pretty affordable. My Questions: What kind of CPU should I be looking at, I have heard that I will need something with a speed of over or around 3.5 ghz , preferably a Xeon. Can I get awyay with an older LGA 1156 socket type, or should i be only concerned with lga 2011 AND newer? I also am very intruigued and am leaning towards a Dual CPU set up. Any suggestions? Would a (2) X5680's or (2) X5690's suffice? Will a dual CPU server really even make much of a difference for me? What should my biggest focuses be on? What about security, is that something that should be of big concern for me? I have an old Intel i5 2400 laying around, but I do not think that will be enough from what I have read. My main rig is an ITX build i7 7700k, 1080ti all on a custom loop with 32 GB of ddr4 3200hz RAM. My internet speed is about 230 down and 20 -30 up, Thank you

Well I have a bunch of photos to upload but ltt has a limit, and I can’t get into my photo bucket. So for now I will just post the end product. If anyone is interested I will post the in between! any comments are welcome

I will finish uploading when I am home from work, I need to host the rest of the pictures because LTT has a 20 mb limit.

Some paint progress.

So here’s the basic footprint of the tabletop. I’ve added some tiers to the top, to give it some character. The middle tier for my ultra wide x34, the left for my second xbhu27 and the right for my tower. i left a lot of space in the back for a boom arm, lighting for the camera, and maybe a future shelf or so.

Haven’t updated this like an idiot, so I’m going to catch everything up in a few posts real quick. below is part of the table top, the legs and the frame with the first coats of paint. I’m going to have to do several coats due to the cramped and dusty conditions I’m painting and working in. This will be followed by a flat clear coat.

Hey guys, I recently moved to a new place, and have so much more room. I finally have a room dedicated to just computers and such. In this build log I will be posting pictures of the following: - Building and painting and entire desk from scratch. Including cable management pathways, hidden compartments and lots of other little goodies. - Draining my custom loop from my LianLi Q17 ROG itx set up and using some of those parts for the build in the InWin 301 mATX case -Modding internal brackets in the case as well as a few other mods, I can provided more detailed instructions on things such as Pump/Res mount fabrications, painting tutorials and DIY cable sleeving. My current set up I will post below! I am sure nobody will really see much of this post, but I am just starting this now so i can start adding pictures as I go along. I will also save pictures on my desktop to make more detailed reports if anyone is interested. This is my current set up I have already framed the top of the desk, its rather large. I made two sections and combined them after. One section measuring 5'x3’ and the other 4'x3’ These are just quick pictures, I will be using my nikon D750 for the rest of them! I am excited to finally finish this project, as it is one of the last ones I have to finish before my new place is completely done and I can finally just relax! Thanks for looking Any suggestions are welcome!
