as you can see from the pics below my psu wire is interfering with my radiator at the top of my case, does anybody know of somewhere i can get a wire for my psu that bends on its own as soon as the wire exits the socket it is plugged into? my wire has been like this for a while now and i am going to do a bit of an upgrade and wanted to know if i can get anything for the next time i open up my PC for some upgrades. psu-silverstone sx500w

hi i currently have a rx480 set up in my lian li pc 05 all custom water cooled. i wanted to make a graphics card upgrade and needed some help in picking out a new one. i need one that is more powerful than my rx40 and around the same size. i only have about a cm to spare with my current gpu (which is 18cm long with my water block an all) i know that there exists things like the r9 nano which is actually smaller, but its very hard to find a water block for it as its an older architecture. also if possible i buy most of my blocks from ekwb so a block from them that is compatible is great.

its the full water block so yes they are. i think i will look into the idea of overheating because that seems plausable.

no its defiantly not heat problems, i actually have my card water cooled and it is stays at 50-60 max when under stress. also if this helps, when i put the power limit higher and have the card down clocked it can hold it clock steady , but im losing like 150 mghz.

I am posting because i am having problems with my rx480 as you can probably tell from the title of this post. it started a few months ago, i was having problems clocking my gpu to the full 1288mghz (which is the stock clock speed for my gpu type) i tried fiddling around in the settings on my drivers but couldn't get anything to work. im pretty sure this happened after i had done some overclocking so i think i may have damage it somehow, but the only things i touched were the clock speed and the power limit slider (pics shown down below), as well i tried to do a slight under volt. the reason i hadn't posted sooner is because i was not using my pc to heavily, but now that i am playing more the clock speed issue is really bugging me. my what my gpu shows under stress is that it will clock to 1288 and then go back down to around 800-1000mghz. from what i can tell it looks like its not stable at the 1288 clock for some reason but idk, i had even tried lowering the clock speed by 7.5% to see if anything will happen but it didn't help. can anybody help??

oh, wow I didn't know you could cut them, MB. and ah thank you, i had actually forgot to reinstall the other ram stick after I was plugging and unplugging my 24 pin, but its good now.

hey, i was just looking to see if I can find a 20-30 cm RGB strip what can sync up with my Asus Aura motherboard. all I have found is 40cm and above, I'm running a lian li pc 05s case so I need something with an adhesive and short enough that it doesn't bend over onto the side panels, as I am looking to line it across the bottom and possibly the top as well. any suggestions?

hi i just have a few questions as to how to go about doing custom cable sleeving with my PC. Q1. i noticed that my 24 pin is has 2 wires in some sockets and no wires in others, would i be able to just sleeve my cables as a regular 24 pin (meaning just route them one to one from connector to connector) or do i need to do something different? also do i sleeve my mires so that each wire will go into the corresponding socket on each connector or is there a different way i should be doing it? Q2. do i need specific wire or would any do? i am currently looking at items through mainframe and am not sure the difference between them, for example 18awg wire vs 16awg wire i'm not entirely sure what it means. https://mainframecustom.com/product-category/cable-sleeving/wire/ < link to mainframe website with wire types< Q3. i have a custom water cooling loop in my pc and wanted to sleeve a wire bc i dont like how the pwm connector for the mobo looks with its blue and green exposed cord would a fan connector be fine to sleeve with? Q4. i have a 6 pin power connector that connects to my gpu but the wire currently on my psu is a 6+2pin would i need to sleeve the whole 6+2 pin or is there some way i can just sleeve the 6 pin for it to work. Q5. kind of similar to the last one bot would i need so sleeve my CPU cable as a 4+4 or can i do 8 pin? here's a list of some of my system specs incase they are needed. system specs- psu: supernova 750 g2 mobo: z170 gigabyte designare gpu: rx 480 Reference cpu: i5 6600k Thanks for the help image below is not of my psu but shows what i mean when i say missing pins

ok thank you that cleared up a lot of my questions.

ok thanks, but i was just wondering, i heard that cards in the gtx and radeon series are not even supported by programs like cad. is this true? or are they supported now?

was wondering what quadro i would need to get for animation using auto desk maya and other adobe software like Photoshop and premier. im not very familiar with the quadro and wanted to know how they would perform. im in college and am planing on building a workstation. i have already got all my parts together except the graphics card.
