I got the Enthoo Evolv X for Christmas and I've started migrating my system over to it. In my previous build, which was in the Enthoo Evolv ATX, I used the NZXT Hue+ (1st edition) for RGB. I noticed that the Evolv X use 3-pin headers for the integrated RGB. Is there a way to connect the 3-pin to the Hue+, or do I have to buy the new Hue 2? My MB is an Asus Maximus Hero VIII, which doesn't have a dedicated RGB header of any sort. (doesn't have a 3.1 header either so the USB C in the front panel is a waste, feelsbadman)

Yeah that worked, but only if I go to Recording > Select the Line In > Enable "Listen to this Device". However, this introduces a horrible static noise. I've tried running different cables from the Switch to the port, but it didn't do anything.

So I've recently moved my Switch dock to my desk and I want to hear the games I'm playing. My monitor doesn't have speakers, and I'd rather not switch headphones all day since I often play my Switch while waiting for something in a PC game. So my question is: Is it possible to route the audio from my Switch through my PC so I can hear the Switch audio in my PC-headphones? I'm outputting my PC audio to a Fiio Alpen 2 thorugh USB. I do not have a dedicated soundcard, my MB is a Maximus Hero VIII.

It's the one which came with the case. I have the three vardar fans connected. It used to work with the stock fans, I could controll the speed through AI Suite, but it seems like I can't when I am using the vardar fans. EDIT: Fixed it. One of the fans had to be connected to a specific connector on the hub.

Alright, thanks! Now I have a new problem though, I can't control my rad's fans. I have 3x vardar fans plugged into the pwm-hub, and the hub plugged into the CPU_Fan header, but it says that the speed is N/A in the BIOS and AI Suite. Is there something I'm doing wrong? If not, what would be the optimal way to hook up my fans? I have 3x 120 vardar on my rad and 3x 140 phanteks stock fans for case fans.

Just finished setting up my first loop and I am getting the error for "Low CPU fan speed" on my HERO VIII. I am using the Phanteks Enthoo Evolv ATX and I have tried plugging the fan-hub in both the CPU and CPU-OPT header with no results. I also tried setting the CPU Fan speed to Ignore in the BIOS, but that doesn't work either. What do I do, senpais? EDIT: I fixed it, I'm just dumb. I set the CPU fan speed to Ignore under the Q-Fan Controller, not under Monitor. It's all good now.

Yeah, I goofed and didnt get one of the ram sticks properly in place. It POSTs now, thanks for answers guise

My aunt's HDD died and I have installed a new one. The PC doesn't POST and I assume this is because the HDD is blank and I have to install windows on it. How do I go about this? I have an external SATA reader I can hook up to this PC if necessary. It's a HP Elitebook 8760w.

Currently talking to a guy who's selling his 990's for 120$. Now I gotta decide whether to get a modmic or a Snowball ice. They're both the same price, but the ice seem to have better quality. I'm not doing any sort of voice/sound work, so having a desktop mic might be too much hassle just for Skype.

I watched a few videos yesterday about open headphones, and a lot of people said they get more spacial awareness with open w/o surround than with closed w/ surround. I know they leak a bit in and out, but I live in a quite place by myself, and my PC is whisper quiet, even under load. I read about the V-shape and thought it would suit me since I'm a "basshead". If the treble seems too much, is it possible to use an EQ to turn it down a bit?

Well, that's a relief. Will it be able to produce 7.1 with software like the Razer one? If not, can I just use the "soundcard" from my Cloud 2?

I'm about to dip my toe in the wild west that is the audiophile world. I currently have a pair of Cloud 2s and I'm looking to upgrade. I've never had a pair of open headphones before, and the concept of soundstage interests me, but I've also read that it sacrifices bass. I will be using the headphones for gaming and music; I listen to metal and "heavy" electronic music. Comfort is important since I play my video games for long stretches. I'm currently looking at the V-moda crossfade m-100 (If I can get it at a discount), the Beyerdynamics Custom One Plus and DT990 (No idea which version though). Feel free to opt in with other suggestions. Will I need one of these "amps" or "dacs" to drive the headphones on my HERO VIII? Virtual surround would be nice. Also, what are cans?
