Greetings;

So I fairly recently built a new gaming system. Works great and runs great. Though I have hit a little snub while playing a game, in particular League Of Legends. When I play LoL, I get FPS between 100-300. Though, every minute or two, it feels like the game dips down to like 30 FPS, even though it doesn't. Other games I have played such as Overwatch, have no problems at all. I had no problems on my other system which had a gtx 1060 6GB, i7-8700, and 16GB of DDR4 RAM. This is a pretty minute issue but just wanted to see if anyone had any suggestions. 

Thanks for help/input!

My current system:

MOBO: X570 gaming

CPU: Amd Ryzen 5 3600

GPU: Radeon RX 5700 8GB

RAM: 2 x 8GB DDR4 3600

You can do that, make sure to either change your boot priority in the BIOS to your primary HDD or use the Boot Menu (F12 usually during booting) to choose your primary HDD. Using that you can then easily format the HDD. You could also boot into safe mode, or command line mode, and then do it from there, but that would be a little bit more challenging. 

Awesome! Thanks for the help!

Hi all!

So my old system has a SAMSUNG 860 EVO Series 2.5" 1TB SATA drive as it's main and only drive. I was planning on using it in my new system. My current system already has a boot drive so I was going to use the Samsung drive as a secondary. Since it has windows on it, what would be the best and easiest way to format it? Can I connect it to my new system than format it from there?

Thanks for the help!

So it seems like I sorted it out. I went into the advanced power options, and under sleep, I turned off "Hibernate after" off and it seems like that worked. So weird.

Hi all;

So for some odd reason, when I put my computer to sleep, then start it up again, 2 of my case fans don't turn on (sometimes). It weird because sometimes I will put my computer to sleep and start it up 2 min later and all the case fans are running fine. Other times I will wake my computer up, a 1hr or 10 min later and 2 of my case fans won't turn on. I have tried to put a load on my computer to see if they startup, but they don't. I mean it's not that much of a problem because I just have to restart my computer or after 3-5 min of computer use they turn on. I am just curious about what the problem could be and if there is a solution to this.

Thanks for your help and input!

Rotating it forward will lessen any potential strain on the fittings, but as said even now it's not something that looks like it's a major problem. 

Yeah, I will see if I can move it forward a bit, but it think it will be alright. Thanks for your help!

Stress tests are only good if you want to know worse case scenario, but ultimately they are not very useful. Just keep an eye on temps while playing games/using programs you normally would use, or use something like the Unigen benchmark. should give a pretty good idea about standard load temperatures.

So I gave the Unigen benchmark a go. I used the Heaven software and used these settings https://ibb.co/t42YrL2

These are the temps I got;

The tubing itself looks alright, I’d be more worried about pulling in the rotary fitting but that should be fine as long as it’s not being pull under tension. Rotating upwards in front of the block should alleviate any cause of concern.

So I should try to rotate the tube that is closest to the mobo, in front of the block/away from the mobo? That is the only tube that I have any real concern about.

Yeah, I don't really want to know the worse case scenario, I just want to make sure that my system is cooling properly under some load.

I will give the Unigen program a try a see what I get. 

HI all

So I just installed an AIO CPU cooler in my system. The fit was a bit tight, in-terms of the tubes. I was just wondering if the tubes bend are ok. The tube furthest away from the mobo has some slack(ish) and has a fairly wide bend, I think that one is good. But the tube closest to the mobo is a bit tighter and has a greater bend, which is the one I am wondering about. 

Do the bend in the tubes seem ok?

they look fine. did you have some concern about them?

 

Idle temps are also not something you generally need to worry about unless you're looking at 50-60c. 

 

You would need to check your load temps to see if there's anything wrong with your cooling setup

I didn't really have any concerns about them, just wanted another person's thoughts on it. Because for an intel rig, those temps would be fine, just wasn't sure for AMD hardware.

For testing the load temperatures, should I run a stress test? Or should I use a more demanding program/game for a bit and see how the temperatures are.

Hi all

So I just a built a new system and was just looking at the temps. I am using the Radeon 5700 and the AMD 3600 for my GPU and CPU. My other build was in Intel rig, so I am not sure if the temperatures for AMD differs from Intel, so I just wanted to get some thoughts. Also, is it wise to run a stress test to make sure everything (such as the CPU cooler) is cooling properly?

Here are some pictures of the idle temperatures;

AMD software for GPU: https://ibb.co/5RmJW5f

MY build:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 3600

GPU: Radeon 5700

CPU cooler: Deepcooler captain RGB 240mm

PSU: Corsair Cx650M

MOBO: Gigaybyte X570 gaming X

RAM: Corasir vengance LPX DDR4 3600 16GB

Thanks for your help and assistance!

DisplayPort to HDMI, yes.

Gotcha.

DVI limits you to 1920x1200 ... if your monitor has other connectors like HDMI for example,  it would make more sense to use those

If you have a HDMI cable already but your monitor has only DVI, there are super cheap passive hdmi<->dvi adapters : https://www.amazon.com/Kasstino-Female-Adapter-Plated-Converter/dp/B01IHOQ5GS/ or https://www.amazon.com/Bluelans®-Gold-Plated-Female-Adapter-Converter/dp/B01HT9AALI/

 

Both my monitors have HDMI ports. So go with HDMI to Displayport instead?

Adapters are preferred since you can change the cable to a different length if your setup changes in the future, but they're both internally identical, so it's just a matter of preference. The adapter cables are basically just adapter dongles with cables permanently attached.

So something like this shouldn't be a problem? https://www.newegg.ca/tripp-lite-p134-000-displayport-to-dvi/p/N82E16812120613

Just use whatever is convenient, it's not like you have to use the same cable for every monitor.

So I could use a DVI-D to HDMI, for one monitor, and then an HDMI/DVI-D to DisplayPort for another monitor?

And I don't currently have any Displayport cords, but should I get full cords from HDMI/DVI-D to Displayport, or should I get the adapter? 

Hello;

I was looking at the XFX Radeon RX 5700 and noticed the connectors for it, which it has 1 HIDMI 2.0b, and 3 Displayport 1.4. In what case would you use the HDMI port? Like I am running a 2 monitor setup, would I get 2 HDMI to Displayport cords? Or 2 DVI-D to DisplayPort cords?

Any thoughts and suggestions would be great!

3 side intake, 3 top exhaust (use AIO fans too). Imo noctua F12s are a bit overhyped, I’d get the Silentwings 3 High-Speed, or Gentle Typhoons.

So if I am using a 240mm rad on the top I would just need to add another 120mm beside it and then put the 3 120mm fans on the side or bottom?

The problem is, that, I have read people reviews and some say that their cooler broke and such, others have said that it has worked completely fine. With customer service, some say they are not very good in terms of the warranty yet others have said that DeepCool was very easy to work with.

3 side 3 top is what I recommend

what fans?

I plan on using the Noctua NF-F12 PWM fans https://www.newegg.ca/noctua-chromax-black-swap-case-fan/p/1YF-000T-000D8?Item=9SIAB986J14109

I was going to place 2 on the side, 2 on the bottom as intake. 

Hi all;

So I am using the Lian-Li dynamic as my case for a new build. I was planning to use a 240mm rad at the top as exhaust than I was going to use 2 120mm fans on both the side and the bottom as intake. The case can hold 9 120mm fans. 3 at the top, bottom, and side. Does that setup for fans seem like it would have decent air flow? Should I utilize all of the fan space? Another setup I was thinking of using is, putting the 240mm rad at the top as exhaust, then put a 120mm beside it as well, also as exhaust.  Than 2 120mm fans on the side and bottom as intake. Thoughts?

Thanks for your suggestions!

Don't worry. Even if your Deepcool pump does break, all modern processor's have a thermal limit of around 95-99c. Your computer will auto shutdown to prevent catastrophic damage if your hardware starts to overheat.

Good to know! Unless one of the tubes break, then, you have a bit more of a problem. but hopefully, it won't come to that.

The way AIO's coolers break is. They will either break within the first week or two of buying it. Or it will last you 4 or 5 years. But if you have had the AIO for 4 or 5 years then you should be switching it out for a new one. Either way you should be fine.

 

If you now really want a Asetek AIO and can still return your Deepcool one. I would go for Corsair Pro series, they come with the Gen6 Asetek water pump that is a lot better than the previous Gen5. And the corsair AIO comes with Mag-Lev fans instead of normal ball bearing fans, making the whole setup super quiet.

I think I am going to give it a try. I think it is good looking AIO and I think it performs well as well. So if anything happens then I think I will switch over to Corsair.

No. i bought right when it was new in 2017, no issues as of yet.

I like the green scheme. I have never used a deepcool brand AIO, so I am just a little concerned, especially with some of the reviews saying that their AIO's tubes broke. Doesn't mean that DeepCool is a bad AIO brand, just something I am considering, 

So I guess I would be taking somewhat of a gamble if I use the deepcool brand over a brand that uses Asetek.
