  1. awesome, thanks for the info mate, ill have a think about it and see if I should bother getting some new fans. would like pmw though, so there not running full wack all the time. thanks
  2. well on the website for my cpu cooler it says you can add one of these fans for a push pull config, so I assume the rgb will work off the same controller right?
  3. yep, 4 pins out of the controller, and my cpu header is also 4pin.
  4. okay then, been as corsairs wont work, may I just ask, would another mf pro 120 ab RGB work with this controller if I get a rgb splitter? its essentially the same fan, im guessing it should, but just want to make sure.
  5. ooo so sorry! Im clearly blind, mines a coolermaster not a corsair so this entire thread is pointless
  6. so are they model specific? what I have is from corsair, but im just wandering if the same controller will work on the other corsair fans, I dont want to clutter my case up with many rgb controllers.
  7. Hey all, So currently I have 5 fans in my pc, 2 are molex, and the connectors keep breaking and there always at full power. so I was thinking of getting some new rgb fans to match my CPU coolers existing rgb fan. my mobo doesnt have a rgb header, so im using a little controller that come with my cpu cooler (MA410P). im looking at getting either the sp120 RGB pro (or non pro which isnt addressable, note this for later), or maybe even the hd120, open to any recommendations on what I should get btw. both have addressable leds, now can I just buy a rgb splitter, attach that to my controller I already have and have the fans rgb running off that? and will they show the same colours etc? my cpu cooler isnt addressable even if you had it running off a rgb header so would that mess things up? if them being addressable would mess it up I could get the sp120 non pro. secondly, my mobo only has one 3 pin pmw header, so can I buy a pmw splitter and run them off that? obviously yes, but the fans are 4 pin pmw, and I can get a 4 pin splitter, but will the main 4 pin connector go onto my 3 pin on the mobo? Thanks
  8. Hey, so ive been overclocking my pc a bit, its a old system so there are some things that are confusing me. CPU: AMD phenom II x4 965BE RAM: DDR2-800 (Ik...) mobo: Asus M4A785D-M Pro so for starters my bios has a overclock profile on the cpu overclocking setting, It gives me some percentages to choose from, currently ive got it set at the max setting of 10%, that gives a BCLK of 220Mhz, and takes my CPU to around 3.76Ghz without changing the multiplier, my ram to 440Mhz and the HT to 2200Mhz. Vcore is on auto. but the thing thats confusing me is loadline calibration. by default its on auto (51.6%) and for me a higher percentage makes the system less stable, and lower makes it more stable. I have found that 25% llc is stable on the said overclock above. Ive googled it, and from what I can tell llc affects Vdroop, and that if I have it at 0% my vcore will be a constant voltage at what ive set and wont drop, but that doesn't seem to be the case for me, as even at 25% it rises above what I set, for instance if I set the vcore to 1.35v it goes to nearly 1.4v at 25% llc (and is still crashes at 3.9ghz on cinebench and prime95), so I dont want to put it to 0 as im afraid it will go dangerously high. Another thing. im using the OC profile because it seems to be more stable with the bclk at 220, than just putting the multiplier up to 3.8ghz and leaving the bclk at 200(or auto), also obviously having the bclk up, ups my ram speed a little. I would like to achieve 4Ghz if possible, but I dont want to up the bclk more because im afraid that will do damage, when I increase the multiplier to 3.9Ghz and have the bclk at 220 its unstable, same with just the multiplier at 3.9ghz, and I dont want to increase the Vcore much untill I figure out how this llc works, as the vcore still goes above the setting I put in. should I turn off LLC? if so how, I cant seem to figure it out. sorry if this is a little confusing, im just very confused with the voltages, why isnt it stopping at the overvoltage setting I put in? I need a good explanation of llc, all I can tell is it affects vdroop and that having it at 0% should make the cpu run constantly at the voltage set, but it doesnt seem that way for me, it still goes above my set vcore even at 25%.
  9. Yeah I did consider going there, it's just I've never posted there before and have been on here loads. I might go ask on there then. I don't mind if it breaks root updating my device, But I don't want it to soft brick it... If I'll still get updates on the stock os I might consider rooting then... I'll ask on XDA. Thanks all!
  10. Well my S8 is still getting updates. And even the S7 is. So it's going to be awhile before all updates stop.
  11. haha, I would be rooted by now but theres one thing holding me back. updates. If I root my phone I wont get official updates right? so is that going to be a problem? should I wait until the phone is no longer getting updates?
  12. Never mind. he doesn't. always watch the video first lol. still would like to know if this is a good idea?
  13. Hey, So im thinking I might root my S8. but I just want it to be rooted, no custom rom. Im watching this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZD-5twDm6XI does he install a custom rom? sorry if this is a stupid question, but I haven't rooted a phone before. I just want root access. Im guessing I wont get anymore updates from Samsung if I do this? I may install a custom rom in the future, but as of now I just want root access. thanks
  14. Well I cant do that really.... You see there are no phone sockets near my pc so I cant move the router. Im not really sure what to do... im pretty sure its the ethernet poweline thats causing this. Im currently playing a game using my phone as a wireless wifi connection and its running great. the only issue is it occasionally drops out for a minute...
  15. Yes its defo not my isp. Ive rebooted the router countless times, there doesnt seem to be anything on the routers webpage to update the firmware... as for the powerline Adapters thats my biggest suspect. but ive never had a issue before with them and it come on suddenly and hasnt gone since, like one day it just started doing this and hasnt stopped since... Edit: the hub I have is a BT Hub 5, It cannot be updated manually.
  16. Hey, So I run a wired connection and im on fiber. my internet speed is usually 50mbps+ and Ive never had a problem before, until recently while playing rocket league the lag was insane, it was unplayable, my ping was up and down like crazy and I was getting loads of packet loss, I just thought it was rocket leagues servers. but its been around a month and its still the same. I was playing minecraft the other day and I got the same issue, other players/mobs would freeze and then suddenly jump to where they should be... So I ran a Ping test on the CMD, I first started with pinging google.co.uk 30 times and the the results showed 3 out of 30 packets got lost and my latency varied from 13 to 450. I then ran a ping test to googles public DNS 8.8.8.8 out of 100 pings 6 packets got lost and my latency was 13 to 850. I then tried 1.1.1.1 out of 100 pings 14 packets got lost. so theres definitely a issue here, but I wanted to know if its me or my ISP, so I pinged my router 100 times and 8 packets got lost and latency was 3 to 70. I then pinged my PC 50 times just for fun and 0 packets got lost and latency was 0ms. So its between my PC and router, but whats causing this? like I said I never used to have a Issue. just a little information, Im running Ethernet over powerline, so my router is downstairs and my pc upstairs. never had a Issue with this before so I think its that... also my internet speed on my pc has gone from 50mbps to 10 now, but my phone is still around 50mbps over wifi
  17. Could be your PSU, I had a psu that had its fan unplugged (The guy I got it off must have done this), My pc started shutting down randomly but I didnt think much of it, untill one day. it shutdown, I clicked the power button *BANG* a blue flame and smoke... it had melted one of the capacitors, had to get a new PSU. Edit: nvm didnt read it properly, its when your cpu hits 70*c silly me
  18. I doubt that would work. or if it did the signal would probably be really degraded and poor.... something stupid for linus to try xD
  19. Bought it, no screen burn and its genuine, just one tiny tiny scratch on the screen but it's not noticable when in use and barely when off. Just feel really guilty of selling my s6 for the s8. Sorry s6 ? Better than it sitting in a box doing nothing I suppose, hopefully the new owner will take care of it.
  20. If he hasn't seen the screen burn (doesn't look like there is any) That still wouldn't explain why it's so cheap. Going to get it today, I'll run a IMEI check once I've got it too.
  21. Woah didn't know they went that cheap, I thought they were around £200, seems as if it's legit.. I don't think Facebook has reviews.
  22. Yeah screen burn is very common on the S7 etc, but he didn't say anything when I asked if it has any faults or anything.
  23. Hey all, I've been looking for a new phone (used) and I came across this S8 for £140 it's in great condition (no cracks or scratches) no pictures of the sides so I can see if there scuffed but thats not much of a problem if they are, messaged him and he says it's all working fine and it's always been in a case, he says Cex offered £139 for it so he put it for sale on (not on Cex btw) for £140, so my question is... Is this a scam? I cant quite see the IMEI, even though there is a pic of the back it's slightly too far away to make out the IMEI, so I can't check if it's stolen.
  24. yeah i get the point but what doesn't the s6 have that AR core needs? I mean the s7 has AR core, yeah the s7 is more powerful but I dont see why the S6 wouldnt run it.... just really want to use some AR apps....
  25. Is there any work around? To get it working? Like I said I can install it with a APK just crashes when I use it in a game
