  1. I Will do that, But Will probably end up getting a contact platen aswell. Slightly scared to mount it tough.
  2. I might look into a platte either way. Voltages where around 1.385 one spike to 1.404. Also i think i might just repaste it just to be sure. I just checked the paste and not evrything is coverd.
  3. It takes around a minute or two for the first cores to hit 90+ It are only 4 cores who do. I've got a MSI tomahwak z790 motherboard. Might have to look into a contact frame then.
  4. No weird noises, removed the plastic, the paste was indeed pre-applied. I can hear the pump (also i hear the difference if i place it in different speeds) The Icue software says it works. So paste related problems seem the most likely, that or the CPU just runs really hot. At this moment the Radiator isn't mounted, but lays ontop of the case (the on button is broken and i need to RMA it, so did not screw it in.) Idle temprature is 30C
  5. So my I7 13700k Is hitting 95-97C when running cinebench. Ambient temprature is 24C and i'm using a Corsair H150I. This seems to hot right? I've got no side panels on the case, and fan and pump at max settings? Is it likely that the paste that was on the aoi just wasn't good enough/has dried out? And should i get a new tube an repaste it?
  6. Well aperantly I'm an idiot and failed at shorting the board, or there might have been something else. After taking evrything out i managed to short the board and get it on, reinstalled it them camera to the conclusion the power button of the case isnt working.
  7. I tried three different outlets, i tried booting it With my 750watt evga supernova same result
  8. Tried all the following steps from the "guide" The machine doesn't do anything. No beeps, LEDs or spinning fans. Check if your power cable is firmly plugged in on both ends (you would be surprised how many issues this resolves) Check if the power supply (PSU) has a button to cut the power to the machine. Check if this button is in the position denoted with ON or I Check if EVERY power cable is plugged in securely, reseat if necessary. Check if the power button is installed correctly (consult your motherboard manual) Try shorting out the pins you connect the power button to manually. If this powers on your system, you have a faulty power button. Check with a device of which you know that it works if the power outlet you're using is actually providing power. There is 0 response from the pc, no lights anywhere, no sounds, no response. It seems to get some power as the flash bios results in a red light burning. Also tried only 1 stick of ram, in any of the boards. Motherboard is a Z790 MSI Tomahawk CPU is a i7 13700k Power suply is a MPG A850G PCIE5 Ram is Corsair DDR5 Vengeance RGB 2x32GB 6400 CL 32 Any sugestion what to do next?
  9. So i've pretty much decided on my build. I want to go with a i7 13700k and the MSI z790 tomahawk. And i'm hearing different opinions about ram speeds it would be able to handle? i was looking at the Corsair DDR5 Vengeance RGB 2x32GB 6000 CL40 (costing 253€) Or the Corsair DDR5 Vengeance RGB 2x32GB 6400 CL32 (costing 259€) Would either one work? Seeing the price difference the second one seems like the better choice?
  10. Hello, I'm realy struggeling with choosing a power suplly. I'm most likely going to go with an Intel i13700k and a MSI GeForce RTX 4070 GAMING X TRIO. 750 watt seems plenty? Or should i go for more to have some backup if i ever decide to upgrade anything? Also should i go with ATX 3.0 / PCIe 5.0 PSU, or should i just use an adapter? Sugestions for PSU's are more then welcome. Im in Europe/The Netherlands.

  12. The Netherlands, budget is around 70€
  13. I'm not too fond of the white color of the fans. So I wanted something black. The be quiet fan on my cooler was alot quieter then the case fans so I figured I would go with the be quite one. My pc's specs are: Intel Core I-5 8600K | Asus ROG Strix Z370-F | Asus ROG Strix 1080 8G | 16gb 3200mhz CL16 G.Skill Trident Z RGB | be quiet! Dark Rock 3 | Samsung 850 EVO 250GB SSD | EVGA Supernove G2 750W | WD Blue 1TB | WD Green 4TB |
  14. Hello, I'm looking to change the fans in my case to be quiet fans. Now i was looking for suggestions for what the best fan setup would be for this case. According to the manual the following is possible: Front: 3x 120mm or 2x 140mm Top: 3x 120mm or 2x 140mm Back: 1x 120mm or 1x 140mm Any help would be greatly appriciated.
  15. So i'm not entirly sure what option to go for: It's either going to be Samsung 860 Evo 1tb: Price:160€ or Samsung 970 Evo plus 500gb: Price 114€ Samung 970 Evo Plus 1tb: Price 230€ So the 970 is almost 45% more expensive. Is the price worh the difference? Will i notice the difference with photo editing or gaming? or would it be better to just go for the 860
  16. The price difference seems to be quite small here the Samsung is 220, and the adata is around 210, one store sells it for 190 but I have had terrible experiences with them in the past and I refuse to buy there. What would be the better choice? I mainly use my pc for photo editing and gaming. Occasionally video editing. I'm just not sure what would be the best choice. I've also considered getting a 500gb evo 970 plus, to save some money And in the future adding a 2tb evo 870
  17. Hello, I'm looking for some more SSD storage, and since the prices s eem quite reasonable now i was planning on buying one soon. I however could use some help with making a choice. My budget is around 225€ I'm looking for 500GB, but 1TB would also be an option. The preference would be a M.2 one since that slot is still empty on my board. Any help would be greatly apriciated.
  18. Hello, My father is looking to either buy a new laptop or a chromebook. My knowledge about it is quite limited so I figured I would ask it in on here. The laptop wil be used for work, email. PowerPoint, spreadsheet etc. And storing pictures and watching movies & Netflix. The budget is around 500 euro. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.
  19. Well apearantly one of the 4 fans wasn't completly plugged in resulting in all of them not being recognized It's working fine now.
  20. Nope, its connected to the motherboard by a 4pin cable.
  21. It are three corsair af fans connected to the fan hub in my case. Of What do you want the screenshot?
  22. The fan tuning wizzard puts them at 1400rpm and i cant Change it. The are incredebly loud The fans not connected to the fan hub are fine though
  23. Continued looking connected a pwm fan, that one also acts like its suposed to both fan curves can be adjusted, excapt for the fan hub with 4 fans attached
  24. The cpu fan is also the only one that shows its rpm in the bios. The other Just run at 100%
