    So you already got that case?

    Did a build with that case one and there was 1 to 2 things I didn't like about that case. I think it one was something to do with that 45 degree angle with the rubber grommet openings, the other I can't remember.

     

    Sorry I am dumb:p I meant to say is this case good looking because I am gonna build a PC

    Hi,

    I am looking for a used laptop for around 70-100€ that has a CPU clock speed of at least 2GHz, 4GB ram, decent GPU and at least 250GB of storage. I was looking up on a website to buy or sell stuff in Serbia, kupujemprodajem.com and still don't know what to use. I would like to get some suggestions because I want to replace my old Compaq Presario v3700 laptop and I have a budget of ~97€.

    Thanks a bunch

    Retro

    Just get a raspberry pi 4 and get a power bank a portable screen a mini wireless keyboard and touchpad and connect them

    I need help finding a laptop that would be good for both computer science and gaming. I plan on ordering something in a few days as I will be going to uni soon. As of right now I live in Maryland USA but in a few weeks I will be going to Germany for school. My budget is about $2000 to $2400. I've already tried a Razer Blade 15 advanced (i7 8750h and 2070 max q) but returned that due to loud coil whine and have also tried a Asus gx502 (i7 9750h and 2070) but returned that as well due to a few physical defects. Due to this I am somewhat afraid of having issues with another laptop.

     

    I would prefer something that isn't too heavy (I'm willing to carry up to 6 pounds around) and I'm not to concerned whether it is 17" or 15" as long as I can carry it around if needed. I don't intend to use it in class but might use it for class work on campus.

    Battery life isn't too much of a concern as I am not expecting to use this sort of laptop in situations where I'm far from a outlet. 4 to 6 hours would be considered a bonus in my opinion.

    I would prefer something that is max p but I'm open to max q as well.

    I'm looking to buy from a place such as hidevolution as I've heard many gaming laptops aren't exactly cool and I'd like to do all I can to keep temps reasonable and fan noise not too loud (I'd say 58db is getting too loud for me but I can live with it if it means better thermals).

    I'd consider both thunderbolt 3 and Gsync as bonuses and not essential.

     

    I did find this on amazon, the Acer Triton 500 with 2080 max q, but I'm a bit weary of the inverted motherboard. I'd like to be able to easily access ram and M.2 slots so this wouldn't be ideal, but I can't find anything as small for the price. Thoughts?

     

    Is there any major downside to getting an i7 8750h over an i7 9750h?

     

    Thanks in advance!

    maybe see the msi gs75 I've heard good things about it , or you can try to recreate Linus's "cleanest setup"

  4. So I have a question is the rtx super lineup coming to laptops.

    And if so when are they coming because

    I am getting a Asus scar 3 with an rtx 2070 and i7 9750h. You would say so wait for it but you see in about a month I am going to Turkey and I am buying it there because here in Lebanon I couldn't find it and even if I did it would be expensive (for example I was looking for a scar 2 once and it was get this 3k $ a grand more than in the US) so would it even be worth it for 1080p games

    The LL-120 Fans:

    I assume you are using a Corsair H150 as your CLC which has the 3 fan headers coming from the block. You can add (2-way) splitters to that to allow the 6 fans to remain under the control of the AIO. The total amperage draw for the fans (excluding LEDs) will be 6 x 0.3A = 1.8A. On a side note; employing push-pull on a thin radiator won't really see an increase in performance but of you're doing this for aesthetics, go for it.

     

    In addition, you don't mention whether all your fans are LL-120's. If they are (a total of 9), you'll need a second Corsair RGB Fan LED Hub as each hub can handle a maximum of 6 fans. (Both the Lighting Node and the Commander Pro can handle 2 x RGB Fan Hubs.)

     

    The Commander Pro:

    Just a word of caution regarding the Commander Pro. Although each port may be able to handle the amperage of more than 2 fans connected via a splitter, limit yourself to a maximum of 2 fans per port (or put simply, don't use 3-way or more splitters) even if your total draw remains under the 4.5A ceiling. There's no official Corsair documentation to this effect but it was mentioned by a Corsair employee on their forums to not place more than 2 fans on an individual fan port of the Commander Pro.

     

    I ran into this problem when using a couple of 3-way splitters for my push-pull fan configuration on a 420mm radiator. Essentially, one of the fan ports (that had 3 fans attached) simply expired. It wasn't actually dead because I was able to factory reset the unit (instructions are on the Corsair forum but you'll need 3 hands to execute the steps) and the port performed a Lazarus (came back from the dead). It seems that some sort of logic problem may arise with 3 or more fans on an individual fan port.

    No,I am going to be using the Asus Rog Ryujin 360.

  6. I am having a bit of trouble with the corsair LL120 you see I am trying to do this

     

    AIO on the front with 6 fans push pull

    1 fan on the rear

    & 2 fans on top

    the problem is I will be getting the corsair commander pro and it only has 6 fan slots so i was like well I should get a fan splitter ... BUT there is a 4,5 A limitation on the unit and I want to know how many amps will the fans need if I set them to the max.

    Those look like different ideas all together

    You want this image.png.9350834a5ea5e4d4489259ddfa1a156f.png

     

    If you want to do it, you are going to need a monitor with the LCD part taken out to use it. and you'll need a white or bright AF case

    OHHHHHH okay. I didnt know hw to explain it but I understand now Thanks :P

  8. I am planing on buying the Corsair spec omega Rgb and I a was looking at an amazing Mod where you can add an lcd screen to the sidepanel (I dont know how to explain what it does but here is a vid https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxqw2ShsQoY) so someone said that getting this screen (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CMKOVMO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_ep_dp_CmgFyb4ERJMPS0) for this mod is good so in a nutshell I was wondering does anyone kniw how big is the sidepanel for the case

    pls help

    It's not an issue, more like a warning.

    Your motherboard has a couple SATA ports (t might be 8, but 6 is more common) and this warning merely tells you "hey, you can either use an M.2 slot or all SATA ports". 

    Your motherboard manual might have a neat diagram for this; but that usually shows some configurations on what ports are disabled and which are not when dealing with an M.2 SSD.

     

    This is nothing to worry about, since most people don't need all the SATA ports on the motherboard.

    Just for reference, items that use a SATA port on your motherboard include:

    - Hard drives

    - Optical drives (DVD and blu ray)

    - SSD's that are not M.2

    - that's basically it.. I could mention HDD quickswap bays.. But those are quite uncommon now.

     

    oopsie

    thanks so much

    NVME is a type of memory, typically used on SSD's that have a M.2 form factor that use the PCIE interface on your motherboard.

    A 2.5" SSD is an SSD that uses the 'more standard' 2.5" for factor (duh :P) which uses the SATA interface to connect to your motherboard. It needs a SATA data and power cable.

     

    Simply put, an M.2 PCIE SSD is faster (partially because faster interface) and uses no cable of any kind, since you insert it right into your motherboard.

    2.5" SSD's you have to actually connect with cables and screw somewhere into your case (well... you don't have to ... but you're suppose to).

     

    There is a midway between these two: M.2 SATA SSD's. SSD's that also connect via the M.2 connector on your board, but use the SATA interface. They are as fast as 2.5" SATA drives, but have the advantage of being able to connect with no cables. Typically they have the same speeds and very similar prices compared to their 2.5" SATA counterparts.

    so I was adding an nvme ssd and I got this "

    The motherboard M.2 slot #1 shares bandwidth with a SATA 6.0 Gb/s port. When the M.2 slot is populated, one SATA 6.0 Gb/s port is disabled"

    I didnt understand and is there a way to fix this I would really appreciate if you helped me out here
