  1. Hey, just bought the new corsair harpoon rgb wireless and I hate it. It works well, when it works. Most of the time I get insane lag or the mouse stops working mid-stroke. I've seen similar issues on Reddit but no solutions. Does anyone have any explanation or solutions? Basically my cursor tweaks and glitches, sometimes stops completely when im moving around. I've tested different surfaces and mouse pads. It works flawlessly when connected through the wire, so I know its for sure the wireless connection, just sucks because I bought it because its a wireless mouse. Currently using the 2.4ghz connection with USB dongle. I tried Bluetooth and it was atrocious. Thank you
  2. Hello, I currently have all my computers information (windows, games, applications) installed on my intel 660p 1TB m.2 drive. I just purchased a PNY 120gb SSD and I was wondering if I could use that extra storage to add on to my current C drive partition (intel m.2). Currently, I have my pny drive set up as a separate partition (D Drive) but I don't use it for anything. I just want to know if I can add the 120gb to my current 1tb. If I do, will it affect my nvme performance in any way? shorten the lifespan? I ran a benchmark a couple of days ago and my intel drive is running at perfect speeds; would hate to hinder its performance. Thank you! - Eli
  3. Hello, I am looking to fit an RTX GPU in my NZXT h200i. I currently have a push/pull Kraken x62 so it gives me just around 10 inches to work with. All the 2070 and 2080s I am looking at are 10.6 inches. Just wanted to know if there are any 2070 or 2080 cards that are 10 inches or less with 2 slots. I am aware of the ZOTAC 2070 mini and MSI Ventus 2070, just wondering if there are any other cards that can fit in my build. 2080 would be ideal, but if I have to downgrade due to size restrictions, I guess I will. If I buy a 10.6-inch card and remove the stock heatsink, replace it with maybe an NZXT g12, will it shrink the card enough to fit? I am aware of the RTX Super cards that are coming out soon, I suppose I could wait till they drop as long as there will be a card that will fit into my build. Thank you.
  4. Ok but this wasnt just bios settings is what I stated afterwards. This error occurred even before my overclocking. And I cant even access my bios
  5. Hello, I recently upgraded my pc and she's giving me a huge headache. I was able to install my OS onto a standalone SATA SSD and all of my games, software, etc on my 1tb NVME. This bliss lasted me around 4 hours until I began messing around with some bios settings. My memory is rated at 3200mhz but was only running at around 2200. I went into my bios and changed the RAM frequency to 3200 and afterward, I was not able to post. Now when I turn on my computer, I instantly get an error saying "Reboot and Select Proper Boot Device or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press key." I would think that this has to do with my SSD because it has happened once before, even before I changed my RAM frequency. I am very confused as to why this error suddenly started happening. To add on, before any of my overclocking fooleries, I was never able to see my PNY SSD in my bios. I think this is definitely important to my issue. Any fixes would be greatly appreciated. Also, if anyone has a good guide to overclocking on my hardware, thank you. This is a little unrelated, however occasionally on startup I hear this odd grinding noise coming from my computer. I believe it may be some cables touching my PSU fan, however, there is a fan shield. If this continues, can I damage my PSU? and if the fan breaks, is it detrimental to my build? RAM- Corsair Vengeance LPX 3200mhx DDr4 CPU - Ryzen 2700 MOBO - ASUS x470i GPU - GTX 1060 DRIVES - Intel 660p 1tb - PNY 120gb SATA SSD
  6. Totally forgot that the new CPU's will be compatible with my x470 motherboard. In that case, I will wait and see if I can afford the newer 3000 series, if not, then I will just purchase a 2nd gen for hopefully cheaper. Thank you for your input!
  7. think I'm gonna go for the 1700x as the price difference is quite large. If there happens to be a 2700x for around the price, ofc I will snag it. As for the 3000 series, as much as I would love to, my wallet just won't let me.
  8. Well in best case scenarios, its around 100$. Which makes quite a difference to me tbh.
  9. Hello, with the generation 3 Ryzen processors coming along, I have been finding great deals on the past gen CPU's. I am building a computer primarily for gaming, with some light coding on the side. I have all of my parts except the CPU, so waiting for generation 3 doesn't seem like an option; not to mention I am on a budget. Just wanted to know if the 2700x is worth the extra bucks over the 1700x. From my browsing, they both seem like monsters for gaming, although many people say the upgrade is not worth it. Thank you
  10. Thank you, ideally I would return my motherboard and get the new Ryzens. But I’m afraid its a little too late for that. I will probably upgrade in the future however. But as for now I will be buying the 2700 and overclocking it. What exactly do you mean by slower single core speeds? Ive seen overclocks on the 2700 get to 4.2 on all cores.
  11. Well clearly I wasn’t. So can you answer my question? Or are you just going to respond with criticism.
  12. As the title states, I am building a new gaming computer and I would like to know which processor is the better deal for gaming. I have purchased all of my parts and left my CPU for last as I am a bit hesitant. I live in the US, so the price difference is around $80 and I am on a budget. Is the 2700x really worth the extra money? I plan on overclocking as I purchased a kraken x62. Thank you Motherboard - ASUS x470 ITX RAM - Corsair Vengeance LPX 16gb 3200mhz Drives - Intel 660p 1TB M.2 SSD - PNY 120GB SSD GPU - EVGA GTX 2060 CPU COOLER - NZXT Kraken x62 Case - NZXT H200i
  13. Perfect, So in that case I can use a PWM fan splitter plugged into the included fan hub and still access fan speed correct?
  14. Overclocked ryzen 2700x so I want as much cooling as possible. Plus I think it looks pretty cool
  15. Hello, I want to put my push/pull kraken x62 into my new H200i build. I know it will fit perfectly, however my question is regarding fans. The included fan hub only allows for 3 channels at 10W each. Can I plug a fan splitter into the NZXT fan hub? I want to be able to control all my fans RPM through CAM software (4 fans radiator, 2 exhaust) so should I purchase a better fan hub and remove the included one? Any work-arounds? thank you
  16. I already bought my 660p M.2 drive. So what I was able to pull from your statement was not to buy any additional drives, just throw everything on my m.2? I just figured I might as well have a standalone drive for my OS, as I don't think there will be a noticeable difference in boot times between the two drives.
  17. Thank you, this computer will be primarily for schoolwork and gaming so I won't need tons of storage. I'm thinking 250gb 2.5 for my OS and everything else on the 660p. That way if I will ever need (which I doubt) I will have extra space on the 2.5.
  18. Ok so in that case, I should buy the 500Gb 2.5-inch just for my OS? 500GB seems like overkill just for my OS, no?
  19. Hey, I purchased an Intel 660p 1TB M.2 drive and I was wondering if I should buy a Samsung Evo 250gb just for my OS. I understand that the m.2 is much faster, but I have also read that it becomes much slower the more I fill it up. Should I buy the 2.5-inch just for my OS? Or just throw everything on the Intel M.2? Will there be a noticeable difference from having my OS on the m.2?
  20. Finally got this baby to work. Guess my bios was corrupted or something. Although I went crazy and reseated almost all my components, all I did was try a different usb drive for the usb bios flashback and it worked flawlessly. Thank you ASUS for this beautiful feature!
  21. Im currently trying the bios flashback option on my motherboard. Unfortunately I can't gut the system because I don't have thermal paste at the moment. As for your recommendation, why would the hardware suddenly act up because of a tight AIO block if it was good all this time?
  22. After about what seemed like 2 restarts from the MEMOK program, my pc is now sitting here powered on, with the same DRAM LED solid red. Im going to try the same process yet again but with my other 8gb stick.
  23. yea so im currently sitting here with the pc and when i press the MEMOK button it restarts and the light begins to flash. After some flashing the light goes back to solid red and the computer restarts with yet another solid red DRAM light. Holding the MEMOK button does nothing for me except repeatedly turn the pc on and off until i let go. I have to click it. I just find it odd how suddenly my ram stops working. I would think that an ez tuning software from my motherboard manufacturer is trustworthy enough to not fry my components.
  24. @corrado33 Ive tried reseting the CMOS battery multiple times now, in that exact order. I've also used the jumpers in an attempt to fix the issue. Also, I feel as if mashing delete wont work because my keyboard is no longer illuminated.
  25. And I'm 100% sure the RAM is seated correctly, Ive taken it out about 10 times now. ?
