    Mateus Montemor reacted to Dzhimen in 3Pin 5V to 4Pin 12V RGB Adapter?   
    Hey guys. I stumbled upon this thread because I have a similar issue with addressable vs non-addressable RGB. My case is Phantex ECLIPSE P350X and my motherboard is Asus B450F Gaming. The case has addressable RGB built-in, but the motherboard only supports non-addressable RGB (4-pin). 
     
    So when I saw the DeepCool adapter which was linked in this topic, I thought I'd give it a shot to see if I can sync my case RGB with my ASUS Aura Sync ecosystem. 
     
    I connected the adapter accorging to the attached image:
    1 - Into the motherboard's 4-pin non-addressable RGB header
    2 - Into SATA power from the PSU
    3 - Case RGB connector (3-pin addressable RGB)
    4 - Here I plugged in 2 daisy-chained non-addressable RGB strips (4 pin 12V)
     
    The non-addressable RGB strips work flawlessly (as before when they were connected directly to the motherboard's RGB header).
    The problem is with the case's addressable RGB. This DeppCool convertor doesn't seem to "convert" the 12V non-addressable signal quite correctly to the 5V addressble RGB.
     
    I control the RGB with the Asus Aura software.
    1) When I set it to solid color RED (255, 0, 0), GREEN (0, 255, 0) or BLUE (0, 0, 255) it works fine.
    2) When I set it to mixture of the 3 main colors (0, 255, 255) or (255, 0, 255) etc, it mostly works fine.
    3) But some combinations of colors just dont work. For example if I set it to (0, 255, 100), the color flickers between two different shades of the blue-ish green color.
    4) Some other colors also flicker, but between two completely different colors. For example (255, 32, 0) flickers between orange-red color and a shade of violet. 
    5) This flickering effect is also not always the same, if I restart the computer the flickering from two different colors turns into flickering between two shades of the same color, for example. Or the flickering even stops. The effect varies greatly from time to time.
     
    Now the issue described above is when the color is set to static. This means that If I use any other effect (breathing, rainbow etc.), there is always flickering involved, because most of the colors I set are flickering. Even if solid red is working fine, if I set to breathing red, there is flickering in between. I tried to capture this on video, but unfortunately it's just impossible to capture and show you the flickering. It's happening too fast I guess...
     
    And the problem is only with the addressable case RGB. The non-addressable strip I have connected to the same DeepCool adapter works perfectly fine, no issue whatsoever. 
     
     
    So the bottom line is I am now limited only to like 10 static colors and I cannot use any effects (even simple breathing), if I want to sync my case RGB with the rest of the system.
    You could say it's better than before when I had to sync it manualy, but still it's a shame that I am limited to this extent.
     
     
    My question is for the ones who also bought this adapter: Have you experienced similar issues to the one described above, or it just simply works for you?

    I dont really like 0rpm mode.  Just my opinion.  I usually have it running at like 25%, and when it starts to get hot, it ramps up.

    My gpu supports 0rpm mode and I was checking today at what temps it starts spinning fans (need it for someone) 65c it starts doing anything with fans but even than it’s not much. Around 72c it’ll rump up to around 55%

    Your hardware won't start getting harmed until it reaches around 100C+, that said it normally can't maintain high clock speeds(and yes stock speeds are high) at temps above 60C normally.
    No risk of damage just stability and performance at risk

    Do a basic noob overclock and see what your temps hit.  This way you will know to go further or to stabilize it.  Your temps at 1.30v should be in 80's c at most.  Your nearing 100 ya know.

    Yea I've seen that article, but I thought it's for 1xxxx CPU's like 1800x.
     
    I've been advised from a guy that knows "a little" about overclocking to change the motherboard to one with more powerful VRM's, I've picked the MSI MEG x570 ACE and hope for more OC compatibilities and stability. Especially memory clocks.
    The ASUS Bios with the  "AI Tweaker" is driving me nuts! And I am happy to return this Prime-Pro mobo back where it came from

    Mateus Montemor reacted to IndyRex in My first official build!   
    So after a rather unfortunate accident with my previous, pre-built PC from CyberPower that left a good portion of its tempered glass side panel in chunks and dust on the inside and getting a replacement side-panel was going to be a greater pain in the butt for me than just getting a whole new case. So I opted to do my own build using most of its existing components (and some I had purchased last year to do upgrades). The only stuff still remaining on the old case are its motherboard, fans and old PSU, which I might end up using for another build a cheaper machine dedicated to VR that I can place in my living room.
     
    Here's the specs of the "new" build.
     
     
    Here's what my old PC case looks like:
     
     
    Here's the new PC, some shots include the original fans which I replaced b/c they weren't performing as well as I'd hoped in the new case.
     
     
    Here's some internal shots and a loneshot of the back (yes, it's messy AF)
     
     
    And this is what it looks like at an angle and a front-side view
     
     
    So yeah, this is my first official build. Outside of me having to reformat the boot drive twice b/c Intel Optane sucks so much... I'm glad I did it. No longer will I be burdened with pre-built PCing! (That said, I was pretty happy with my pre-built PC and the cost was actually lower than building one when I bought mine.)

    YES! u14s is 14cm in height of the fan. So it’s a 140mm fan and 12 is, well, 12mm
    see if you can for the 14. It performs better and is the flagship in single tower coolers for them

    Mateus Montemor reacted to Metallus97 in Dark rock slim or noctua nh u12s for ryzen 3700x   
    Ah sorry, yes sure it will perform a bit better and more silent. The 140mm will have to turn at less RPM to move the same volume of air. Also the cooler itself is bigger = same perf at lower RMP for the 14
    and yes... maybe you can try to sell the included ones and get Noctua cromax fans. They are the same but black
    also noctua has some black and colored shrouds for the coolers wich Look nice

    Both will be fine but personally Idd Go Noctua because of the (a bit) better performance and lesser noise 
     
    the Freezer is also nice but a other performance point
