Thanks man!

Hi, Does anyone know where I can find an accurate or an up-to-date pin layout for the Corsair HX1000i or any HXi series? I'm doing custom sleeving for this unit and I know each brand and model varies. I know I can use a multimeter, but I feel like a pictorial guide would be a bit easier. If I can't find one online, I may just make one with a multimeter. This is one that I have found online but I think its somewhat outdated and not completely sure how accurate this is today.

How hard can thermal paste be? (edit: broke through it already)
Khris replied to Jurrunio's topic in Graphics Cards
did you let the system cool when you tried removing it? try let it get as hot as it can and then unplug everything and try remove it -
if i'm allowed to link to EK site you can use their configurator here https://www.ekwb.com/configurator/

Project: Xyla is a personal custom project of mine that I have been designing for some time now. This was my first time using a 3D modeling software and as much as I enjoyed designing it, I am eager to actually start building now. It is a scratch DIY PC desk build so this will take some time as I want knockout any imperfections as I go. Overall it is my third computer build and my first custom water cooled system as well. I’ve done tons of research on the dos and don’ts of watercooling so in theory, I shouldn’t run into any problems (major ones at least). I’ve always had a big interest for DIY anything, but more so for computer technology and such. It’ll be a fun project, modding is always fun. It took me a few months+ to design this... Sad to say that long (first time using SketchUp ever) but I went in detail about literally everything in here (I will post more pictures down the road). I wanted to make a "manual" for myself when I start building this project. As for assembly for the desk, the main parts will be CNC milled and every other part will be done with power tools and a touch of pixie dust. I’m going to stain the legs dark, carbon fiber wrap the desk’s “guts and skin”, and paint everything else matte black. The glass will be custom cut and tempered for durability. I will be using MDPC-X for sleeving all PSU cables and other computer wires to make cable management as easy and as pretty as possible. All other visible wires (fans wires, LED wires, etc.) will be in accordance with this colorway as well. I have received my MDPC sample kit and these cable sleeves are stunning! I can't wait to start sleeving these. I am pretty patient when it comes to building anything but if there seems to be any flaws or something that seems like it wouldn’t work, please feel free to let me know. I am open to your beautiful minds. PC Components CPU: Intel 8600K* Cooling: EKWB Cooling MOBO: Asus ROG Strix Z370-E** RAM: G.Skill Trident Z RGB 32GB 3000MHz GPU: Asus ROG Strix 1080 Storage: Samsung 960 Evo 250GB PCIe NVMe M.2 SSD Samsung 850 Evo 250GB SSD Samsung 850 Evo 500GB SSD Seagate 2TB FireCuda Gaming SSHD PSU: Corsair HX1000i 80+ Platinum Keyboard: Corsair K70 Lux RGB Mouse: Corsair M65 Pro Headset: Corsair Void Pro RGB Monitor: TBD (haven't decided, would like your opinion) Desk Components TBD *Awaiting Cannon Lake/Ice Lake - also depends if it’s worth to get or not. **May change if Z370 chipset does not support Cannon Lake or Ice Lake (most likely won’t support) Overall, this project is not immediate as I expect it to take over a couple to several months with my available free time.

Love the cleanup man!

Whoa man thanks for the detailed post. That actually explains a lot! I am really leaning towards MDPC-X as well. You seem to be well versed in sleeving! I may end up bugging you for reference and such if ya don't mind :p. Edit: OK I just realized you were doing Project Frost. I can say I am truly amazed by your craftsmanship and patience with that project!

How Long can an i5-4690 still go for?
Khris replied to ItsFusion's topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
My i3-3220 Ivy Bridge lasted a while before I upgraded but as Princess Cadence says: It's more up to you, also depends what programs or what you plan on doing with your system, -
Thanks guys! MDPC-X does seem to have high quality materials. I will check them out, this helped a lot :-)
-
What brands do you guys recommend for custom cable sleeving? The only one I know of at the moment is para-cord but wanted to see if you guys have had better experience or any quality brands that you can recommend. Thanks in advance!

I figured an old one might work. I found some online for around $20 so I might end up doing that. My coworker lent me his adapter for the same situation, and he said that worked. So I'm gonna try that and then if not I'll buy me a dinosaur computer for the hell of it :-). Thanks for the help btw! I tried Ubuntu and I didn't get far. Now I can't properly boot Windows from my SSD lol. I did a partition to install Ubuntu but some shit didn't work correctly so I deleted the Ubuntu partition but it still has the bootloader or something on there so whenever I boot directly from the SSD it says 'No such partition Grub rescue'.

Same temperatures on Corsair H60 as the Stock Heatsink
Khris replied to Zumbuh's topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
Dear Lord 100C? What brand thermal paste? -
And this is your first? Very nice! Wish you had more pics though :D.

Man I looked in BIOS it doesn't even show up there :(. What other issues you think? ESD and such? But if that was the case why would it show up in the OS? It spins and sounds function (oh the joy of HDD). I thought about doing that but if the HDD doesn't operate on my system now, would an older one really make a difference? I mean I really don't need to boot. I just want to search through the directory for the files. Appreciate the feedback!

No I haven't yet. I am open to the idea to see if that works. Althought I am not versed at all with Linux/Ubuntu yet. I want to say Windows XP.. or Vista perhaps from what I can remember. Yeah dude I figured that. I do not want to do that at all lol.

As the title says, I need to recover the old data from this HDD. Not necessarily trying to boot, I just want to look through the HDD and recover images from an old game I used to play. I purchased and IDE to SATA adapter, and everything is connected as it should. When I go into Computer Management > Storage > Disk Management, it pops up a dialogue saying to initialize disk. Obviously I try to do that and then it gives me the error 'The system cannot find the file specified.' I tried using the CS jumper on the drive from what I researched but I'm still getting the same error. Has anyone experienced this, if so how to resolve? Disk 1 is the IDE drive. There's no way that the drive is really 0 B. It used to work... long ago, just stored it in my boxes (never cleaned or anything, I hope) P.S. I think I posted this in the wrong section. If a mod could move this to troubleshooting I'd appreciate it, thanks.

Noticed there's no case, did you jump the connectors to turn on the system?

I did some googling and I found PSU overheating to be the problem. They said test the fan to see if its spinning and also if the PSU is hot to touch then replace. Is your BIOS updated?
