  1. I know they are. That's why you check pin layout on the one you want to use vs the old one. I'm still using my old sleeved cables ( only built 2 systems but the cables are from my old pre-built one)
  2. You could use a multimeter and check the psu pin layout on both of them. Then move the cables so they fit the psu you want to use. The problem is the pin layout out from your PSU, the connectors are usually universal shelf stuff but the pin layout is different between PSU's . The layout on the Mobo , Gpu and other hardware like that have a standard pin layout. The problem is the pin layout out from your PSU . Do a quick search on this ( standard computer pin layout ) and you will find a bunch of info.
  3. I recently did my first PETG loop. I bought 4 x 39" tubes and thought that was plenty. I didn't want to use 90 degree fitting bends so I had to bend everything. I messed up some of the tubes in the process and learned a lot. Buy more than you think you need for a first time build. It sucks to have to pay twice for postage and wait for more tubing to arrive
  4. Yeah...Sigh ........ It works with a new CPU. looks like I did manage to kill my old one somehow
  5. I have tried to re-seat everything, the psu doesn't turn on long enough for any q-codes. When I remove the cables powering the cpu everything turns on again. I did try to remove it with hot thermal paste and a little twisting. Think I just have to go down to the store after the weekend and buy a new one. Hopefully it isn't my Mobo so the new cpu dies :-(
  6. My computer worked fine before I decided to upgrade to custom water-cooling. When I pulled my "old" cooler off it was stuck to the thermal paste so badly that I ripped the cpu out of the socket on the Mobo. Everything looked Ok so I just applied new paste and installed the waterblock. After a leak test I plugged everything back In to the psu and Mobo and turned on the power. The only thing that happens is that the psu turns on for 1/2 second before shutting down again. When I un-pluging the cpu power the systems turns on without problems. I have dubble checked the cpu and the Mobo socket and everything looks good. Have I killed the cpu? And before anyone ask the question. No, I did not use a ESD wrist band :-(
  7. have worked on it all day and I think it's fixed now. Been running games and stress tests all day without problems. Before I updated the Bios the computer would crash and give me the C0 error code and a yellow Dram light. I tried using only two sticks to figure out if one of my 4 sticks were bad. I didn't run into any issues with just two so I tried with the other two, no problem with them. I plugged all 4 sticks back in and got the error code straight away. I updated to Bios 3008 but it still crashed when 4 sticks were used. I noticed that when the memory speed were set to Auto in the bios settings my memory speed were way lower than the speed on the stick, I'm new to computer building so I don't know if this is normal. I adjusted the setting to manual mode and change the speed to 2666MHz and tried to restart the system again. I think that did it because I can now boot without problems and Play for hours without a system crash.
  8. Yeah , I just saw that too. I can swear they were listed when I bought them, well that sucks. Maybe I mixed it up with something else. I was going for an AMD/ Corsair build. Looks like i have to try other memory sticks. Bios 1701 x64 But I see there is a new bios on their page, it's 3008. Trying that update first. Maybe it saves my a few $$ Just 2 weeks vacation and my computer is already outdated
  9. Hi everyone. Just got back from my vacation just to discover a new problem with my Computer, It suddenly shuts down without any pre warnings almost like hitting the reset button. I can play for hours before this happens and when it does happen I usually have to use the reset button a few times to get my system booted up again. When this error happens I get Q-code C0 and the yellow Dram light is the only thing lighting up on my motherboard. The manual does not list that code and when I look it up online I get everything from possible defective memory stick, Bad CPU, defective motherboard osv... so it can basically mean anything. My guess is that I got a memory problem since the Dram light is lighting up but I can run stress test's and play for day's without problems. It does not matter if i have a 14% overclock or not. My memory have not been overclocked yet. I really don't want to have a crash while rendering and editing stuff so all help is appreciated. System spec. - AMD Ryzen 1800x - ASUS ROG Crosshair VI Extreme Socket-AM4 - 4x16 64gb ddr4 2666MHz ( cmr64gx4m4a2666c16 ) - ASUS Radeon RX Vega 64 ROG Strix OC - Samsung 850 EVO 500GB - HX850i PSU
  10. Sorry for the time it took to reply, but I fixed it. I just left the pc running while tapping lightly on the radiator , pump and hoses. I'm not sure if it was the tapping or that the radiator have been mounted above the pump during my vacation that did it but the temps are not spiking anymore. It's amazing what a good vacation fixes.
  11. Hi everyone. I had some strange read-outs during my system stress test today and i'm wondering if this is normal or if it's trapped air or something else. Software used to stress test / monitor : Aida64 Trail version and Core temp. System spec.: Ryzen 7 1800X slightly overclocked, Corsair H105 liquid cooler mounted above the CPU , Asus ROG Crosshair VI extreme motherboard / latest bios. I had the same cooler on my i7-2700k and it was not spiking at all on that. I appreciates all inputs on this.
  12. Hi everyone. I have a few questions I hope you can help me with. I'm doing my second pc build ever and I can't decide what I should go for. The only thing I know for sure is that I want to go AMD I have the Ryzen 7 1800x in an unopened box right here next to me , Is it worth returning it and spend the extra cash on the Threadripper 1950X ? ( the prise difference is $200 this week) I'm doing some video and photo editing but I also play a lot. How future proof is the ryzen 7 platform vs the threadripper platform ?
