    the kit apperntly comes with 3 fans, 1 node pro, 1 led hub per package. So i would have 3 node pros, and 3 led hubs. My theory was 6 fan led cables into 1 hub, and controll cable from that into channel 1 of node pro, then 3 led cables into hub 2 and controll cable from that into channel 2 of node pro. all 3 devies are being powerd by Sata. Im just not sure if that works in practice, because it looks like it could in theory. With that being said. What PSU? because these draw 5v, and i already got 2 ssd, and 2 hdd. Isnt plugging 9 more argb leds into the psu going to require some more top of the shelves types of psu ?

    what do i do with the lignting node pro then? im all confused. I thought the node pro had the "physical unit" to controll the leds? How do i connect 9 of them with 1 USB?

    Hello, quick simple question: How do i connect 3x3 pack of the LL120mm fans in one go without buying the commander pro? Generally any motherboard takes 1A and 1x120mm of the LL series fans is 0.3 amps, so i can comfortably use a Y-splitter into the motherboard to do 2x2x2 for 6 of the fans. The remaining 3 goes into my Fractal Design Celsius S36 hub that goes into the CPU-header. All i miss now i conneting 9 led cables. In the package theres the ligthing node pro and some sort of hub? i havent seen that thing before, so i dont know, theres a picture below for visual input. Do i have to do 1 led into 1 channel, and 2 leds into 2nd channel x3, and plug all 3 usb connections at the back of my computer? or is there a eaiser and less clunky way? thnaks in advance

    Im new to ram oc'ing, but i was told to use thaiphoon burner or something to check information on my chips, since aida64, doesnt tell me much other than manufactor. Thaiphoon told me it was B-die, thats why i was confused, because i was under the impression that 3200mhz CL14 is B-die, and not 3000mhz CL15. Also why i was suprised to begin with, but then it wouldnt OC lol.

    Hello, I originally had a 2x4gb Ballisitx sport 2666mhz CL16 kit along with my ryzen 5 1600 and b350-f gaming motherboard. I was waiting for ryzen 4000 series but since i managed to sell my ryzen 5 1600 with a nice profit, i snagged a ryzen 5 3600 and bought 2x8gb Vengeance LPX 3000mhz CL15 kit, since i heard zen 2 ryzen was much more compatible with higher Mhz. All well, everything is booting, however, apperntly this memory kit cant do anything above 3000mhz or else my pc wont boot, and i have to clear CMOS. When i was using my 2x4 2666 Mhz CL16 kit, i managed a OC on 3000Mhz with CL14 - 1.35V, but apperntly i cant touch anything on the 2x8 3000mhz CL15 vengeance kit, because it wont boot. I tried 3200mhz and everything else auto, and i got a CL21 as auto, tried putting it down to 20 just to see, aaaand nope. no boot. I tried 3000mhz with cl14, no boot. I upped the volt all the way to 1.48, still no boot in either configuration, besides 3000mhz CL15 which was the standard XMP profile. Is there any major reason for this? I thought Samsung B-Die was supose to be "the" OC memory kit every ryzen builders are dreaming of? or did i just get a bad batch? I returned the kit but im still curious as to why it wouldnt go any higher since im interested in pc parts and OC in general, was hoping any memory OC guy out here could enlighten my brain as to what i was doing wrong. thanks. Specs: B350-f gaming strix Ryzen 5 3600 2x4gb 2666mhz CL16 1070ti 7 fans inc. aio (so it cant be heat issue)

    Thank you all for the help and input, i greatly appreciate it. Having seccond opinions do really help. However, i accidently found a pretty great deal, and i just could not give it up. 220 usd for a used asus strix 1070 ti, with over 18 months left on the warranty. So i went ahead and bought that. This will probably last me a good enough while. Thanks again for the help, i appreciate it

    Because the used cards are cheaper + im seeing a bunch of 1070/ti's on there aswell as 1080s now that people have had a chance to save up and buy the RTX line up, and i just sold my 1060 3gb for 150 usd, that i now can invest in a new gpu (well i have too now, cus i dont have a gpu lol, nor do i have intel cpu with igpu). So i thought without dishing out too much, maybe a 1070Ti could justify the purchase. The 1660Ti is priced same as a 1070 ti used, and 2060 is 100-150 more for a new one. Should i not bother buying a used 1070Ti then? (the reason i wanted exactly the 1070/ti was the 2gb extra vram, over 2060's 6gb) If that, what 2060 is good to buy? my old asus 1060 would sit perfectly at 60-68c with custom curve, any RTX model out there thats better or similar?

    Like, i can go out and buy a rtx 2080ti, i just dont want to spend that kind of money into a hobby i no longer have that great interest for. I mean i do still like gaming, i just dont enjoy it as much as i used to, so i dont want to dump cash into a desktop that powerfull, which will just sit there most of the time. Thats why i did put up my 1060 3gb on sale and thought of impulse buying a 1070 / Ti would be somewhat okay. But at the same time a RTX 2060 for 470usd + is just too much for an impulse buy. Also the fact that i dont want a 6GB gpu seeing how fast a 3GB version is literally being blown out of existance, i doubt 6GB will last, which is why the 8gb from 1070 is the first thing i thought of, also why i dont want 2060, being a 6gb version. Also i dont really want to wait untill june/july, as im moving for university in 1.aug and probably starting around 15.aug. And i wont be able to touch the pc anytime soon after that, because ill probably be drowning in subjects, atleast not for a solid 8+ months before im comfortable in the study.

    Hey, so i was wondering what card to upgrade from a 1060 3gb GPU? I'm not that into gaming anymore, so im even seccond guessing why i should upgrade at all, but i have a couple of months of free time now, and will probably game a little, so i thought ill upgrade just for the heck of it. But i dont want to sink in loads of cash, so im just looking for something on the cheap side, and heres what i found so far. (no RTX as they cost 4000nok+ (470usd +, not paying that) PS: i live in norway, so because of sales tax and etc, prices are amplified, ofcourse. Asus turbo 1070ti 8gb - 2700nok (318 usd) ** This is a used card, about 1 year 4 months old, with receipt and all. Asus strix 1070ti 8gb (3 fan one) - 2900nok (341 usd) ** This is a used card, about the same above, 1 year 4 months old, receipt and all) Palit GTX 1070 gamerock premium edition - 2250nok (265 usd) ** used card, about 1 year 10 months old, receipt and all) And other 1070 on the used market go for about the same, around 2000-2500nok, (265-280usd) My system right now is: Somethingsomething b350-f gaming motherboard CPU: ryzen 1600 Ram: 2x4 2667mhz (prob gonna buy another 2x4 for that 16gb total) SSD: 2 x 256gb HDD: 1 x 1TB 2560x1440 75hz AOC, 27" or 31.5" i dont remember 1920x1080 60hz 24" (probably buying a 144hz 1080p screen, just for fun) So what do you guys reccomend? Any point of upgrading at all or ? i dont game any heavy shit, nor am i that interested in gaming, i am however more of a "pc-builder" than a "pc-GAMER" so yea, i dont know if thats why im so eager to buy a new gpu, or im just having a dumb temptation to waste some cash on a new GPU for some sweet fps, but i do game a little, and i have 4.5 months of just work/gym and gaming so, im not sure what do to.

    alright, thanks alot for the ultra fast reply Can i do it while its on or do i have to power of the pc completly ?
  13. k96
    dang, was that all ? which cable is it?

    hello, Eveything in my desktop pc is new except the case, which i bought used, altough that doesnt matter. Everything works, except this. I can turn on my desktop with the power button, it lights up, everything good, but when im OC'ing and if in some cases everything freezes and i have to manually shut my pc down nothing happens. I hold the power button but nothing happnes, i can hold it for 5 seconds or 50, it just does nothing, but it will power up ? eveything else works for some reason. Any ideas? Thanks for answers in advance.

    yea, + my 140mm exhaust fan at the back is acting up so im assuming its going to die, so i can use that last fan from the 4 pack to my exhaust and 3 on AIO.works out great
  16. k96
    yea, i looked them up, but theres no way i could buy them, unless i do it through amazon or ebay, which will end up costing me twice because of the tax and shipping. Though they have pretty nice specifications. yea i have my AIO on PWM mode, i just found it really weird that the AIO and fans + hub are all 4pin PWM but in the description its being sold as 3pin when you search up the fans. I also looked at noctua fans, but they basically cost the same as a 2pack for ml120 fans, which i find odd, because 1 ml120 costs as much as 1 similar specced noctua, well well.
  17. k96
    yea i searched the difference, the premium is grey where the pro is black. Don't really matter to me as you cant see them anyways, aslong as they work im happy

    so making a rough calculation, 0,225x3 + 0,15 = 0,825A. So no worries?

    Hello, I will try and keep this as short as possible, i tend to write too much. I have a Fractal design Celsius s36 on my Ryzen 1600 ( i know its probably overkill) and its doing just fine. idle temps are around 23c and when gaming at 33c when using silent curve via program. But since i bought the case used, the 4 fans are about to die. The 140mm as exhaust is definetly dying, so i supose the x3 120mm will aswell (case is nzxt h440). So i thought i might aswell put new fans in the case, but why not just change the radiator fans with something even better, and use the radiator fans as case fans instead. I found these fans - corsair ml120 premium (probably overkill too) and theyre selling for 28usd as single and 33usd as 2pack for some odd reason, so why not just buy these. Great fans. Magnetic bearing too. Issue is i dont know if the built in hub for celsius s36 is going to be enough to run these 3 fans. Currently the x2-gp12 fans are connected to the hub on the radiator, and the radiator to CPU_FAN. I also contacted Fractal and they said my board is able to deliver 12w and the whole AIO uses 10W at max, thus why i bought the AIO. the x2-gp12 on fractals webpage is 3pin and 0.18 A / 1.32 W. But i my fans are 4pin since the AIO Is PMW ? The hub is also 4pin, and theres no specification for these 4pin fans although the name is the same as 3pin fans? the ml120 premium is 4pin and 0.225 A / cant find W usage, but volt usage is 10.8 - 13.2 on their webpage? isnt the voltage only up to 12v on motherboard thingy? i dont know much about these things. Furthermore, the AIO pump itself is 0.15 A without fans and rated at 9W with fans. I wont be running max obviously, i never do, but its pretty risky if i might short stuff out or draw too much power, dont want to risk anything. Will these 3 fit instead of the 3 x2-gp12 fans if i replace them? thanks for answers in advance. specs: Asus rog strix b350-f gaming asus gtx 1060 3gb dual oc Ryzen 1600 ballistix 2x4gb 2666mhz 120gb SSD x2 500gb HDD x1

    I blame fortnite aswell, sat up all night yesterday, slept like 5 am after researching the issue. Fortnite is the issue. Patch 3.5 gave stuttering and fps dips, patch 3.5.2 (current) same thing or made it worse and the patch came out 19 april, the day i started having issues. Read replies and forum posts of people with 1070 and 1070 ti having issues, even people with 1080 having unplayable framerates. Went to nvidia driver reddit page, most people seemed to lean towards driver 388.71 for gtx 1060 users, 395.31 is current. However, i do not notice any problems in overwatch, playing ultra with no issues what so ever. So its not the driver, nor the card or any bottleneck, guess its fortnite. Thanks for looking into it though, nice to have someone help along and confirm

    @faziten Another update: Ticked on GPU temp, Clock and Usage + GPU Memory usage and clock + CPU clock + FPS on OSD inside msi afterburner, then went to EVGA precision X to apply my max overclock (ive maxed my card when i got it to see what it was capeable of) and went ingame, i swear to god, the GPU usage still drops every now and then, and so does my FPS. Temps are 66C considering max OC, Core is at 2075mhz, GPU mem is fine at 2gb (considering i have 1gb left and using 1440p screen), CPU doesnt move and sitting fine at 3400mhz and 33C. Only thing that fluctuates is the damn GPU usage. Ive never had the problem in the past 1-2 months, and the pc is basically 1-2 months old aswell, everything new. Maybe its the windows update? or fortnite update? i dont know at this point, and its just pissing me off. It started happening the seccond i downloaded crap ass "discord". im going to hop on OW and see if anything happens there. Maybe, just maybe its fortnite and not the card or the PC.
  22. k96
    @faziten Okay, so this is how it looks like. Where the gpu usage drops to 0 the gam ended and i alt tabbed out. Apperntly the GPU usage drops to 66 and then to 46 as you can see in the dips, but it flucuates alot as you can see aswell. its not 100% or 99%. I guess thats the problem?
  23. k96
    Do i remove GPU Tweak or just exit the program so it doesnt interfere with MSI afterburner? Fortnite is on my 500gb HDD, while the OS is on one of my 120gb SSD's. Also, just for the sake of it, i added GPU usage to the graph tab, it fluctuates between 100-87, but theres no noticeble drops to like 70 or 60 where the frames drop. Its fluctuating even at smoothly 120fps. I guess this is just normal then.
  24. k96
    @faziten Okay, so i tried now when i turned on my pc. It still dips in fortnite. frames capped at 120, it works fine then suddenly dips to like 105 and the frame dip is noticeble because it kinda freezes for a millisecond, what is the problem then? I alt-tabbed the instant the frames dipped and saw at the graph in GPU Tweaker, but there was no dips in either core clock, mem clock or anything else. Its not maxing out Vram either, the temps are fine, at 64-65 and everything is being run just like its supose to. Cpu is at 33 degrees ish and stock settings, its not throttling either, its barely being used. Memory is also not a problem, got plenty left. I dont understand, theres nothing wrong but the frames still drop???????
  25. k96
    Sorry, kinda hard to translate to english. I uninstalled discord then went ingame to try it out, still was experiencing the drops, i have however not tried restarting after uninstalling discord. I will try that a little later tonight and post results, im on my way home right now. The bizzare part is that all my monitoring shows 0 signs of drops, or the gpu not functioning as it should, im confused as tot what the root of the problem is.
