I have my GPU fans at 43% from 0 to 30°....................

Honestly... I just want to know the thermal performance so I can set curves for the fans If fans run at 55% and less most of the time.... That's not bad right? (asking for both GPU and other fans)

For both CPU and GPU? Would a Heaven Benchmark run and a CineBench run count as stress tests?

Thank you! What do you guys think should be temperatures on a NON-OC 3600 with a 360mm AIO and a 5600XT...? And what fans speed should I aim to have that are safer in the long run for both the GPU and the chassis fans(3 intakes through rad and 3 exhaust)? I will be using CineBench R20 for CPU with HWInfo or CPU-Z and Heaven for GPU with GPU-Z and check stuff. After this I will get some games up and running and see the result This is my jump from a 1050Ti Laptop.

Hello everyone! I just finished building my first PC and it seems to have been a great success! It looks fantastic, everything works the way it's supposed to and I have even been successful in installing drivers and updating the BIOS! My build is a humble Ryzen 5 3600, with the Gigabyte 5600xt Gaming OC on the Asus TUF B550-Plus motherboard. I have the Asus AI Suite 3 plus Armory Crate installed with AMD Radeon Software as the graphic settings control panel. I also installed the Aorus Engine (to give my GPU a slightly more aggressive fan curve) and RGB Fusion (for RGB control obviously). I ran Heaven Benchmark with the stock fan curve (72° at 40% fan speed with 79° Hotspot and avg. 84.4 FPS with a 8.8 FPS min) and then my custom fan curve (66° at 67% fan speed with 71° hotspot and avg. 85.2 FPS with a 35.0 FPS min). It was noticeably louder if I inched closer to the chassis.... But otherwise not at all. My ambient is around 30-35° I don't know if this is a good result or a bad one though. And if it's even good running my fans at 67% when it's being so taxed (GPU-Z showed 99% load). I also want to test my CPU and see if my AIO (ML360R) is doing a gold job of keeping it cool under stress. So could someone recommend some programs to me that help me test my CPU and GPU to see how they are working and if everything is fine...? Also, what's a good free program that would help me monitor this?

So I found the answers. I should update here for anyone who needs help. Yes the ARGB hub will take 3 MF120R fans easily on a single header.. 2.6A is a lot of headroom. So 3 AIO fans RGB with the 5-way splitter on one header. AIO pump RGB on one header. 3 case fans on three headers. And the 2 Neon Phanteks cables daisy chained and connected to one header. That's all 6 occupied nice and clean The CM controller hub that comes with the AIO is great with its magnetic mounting but it's way too many cables in and out and you need further splitters to fit everything. The case hub that comes in the GT301 by ASUS is a great inclusion. Aura Sync all the way And yes... The Phanteks Neon strip comes with a cable that allows you to connect to normal ARGB headers. It converts the ARGB to DRGB (DRGB is not ARGB).

I don't really know where to post this so posting here. I have an ASUS B550-PLUS MOBO. It has a single ARGB gen 2 5V 3-pin header and two RGB 12V 4-pin headers. I need a little bit of help with the wiring with this. My build has the Cooler Master ML360R, 3 ASUS case fans, and the Phanteks Neon combo kit. The case is the GT301 with its built in controller that connects into the ARGB header on the MOBO and provides 6 additional headers. I was thinking of totally foregoing the Cooler Master controller that comes with the AIO (cause of its many wires) and directly plugging everything into this controller so I could Aura Sync it. The AIO has 3 ARGB cables, and the Pump ARGB cable. The ASUS case fans each have an ARGB cable. And then the Phanteks has a DRGB some-crap that I just found out when it is shipped halfway to me.... Sigh. Questions (please answer number wise for ease, I would greatly appreciate any help anyone could give me as fast as possible?) : 1. I plan on plugging each ASUS case fan separately to the controller as it comes... So that's 3 connectors down. I plan on using the AIO fans (all 3) with the splitter that comes and plugging the 3 on just one ARGB header [says on the case manual 'The maximum output of the addressable RGB connector(s) is 5v (2.6A)]. Is that fine? 3 fans on one header won't be too much right? 2. After the 3 case fans separately (each occupying one header) and the 3 AIO fans (occupying one header cause of the 5-way splitter than comes with AIO), I have 2 headers left. I plan on using one of those for the AIO pump RGB. Can I use the last 5v 3-pin for the Phanteks Neon? It says DRGB but also said 5V 3-Pin....and I don't know it there's a difference? I would very much appreciate any help I can get please.... First build.... I thought I had everything figured out and I even checked a lot... But now this all popped up...

Thank you lots

Hiya everyone...! So I have the parts I listed coming in for my first PC build! Nothing overly fancy...just 1080p 144Hz gaming :) I have been a bit confused as to a UPS though. My country and area sees pretty general outages so I want a UPS for safety. My use case isn't anything too demanding...I just need something that doesn't interfere with power when there is normal supply and in the case of an outage, gives me around a minute or two (even around a minute is enough) to save stuff to desktop. I have generator and that takes at max a minute and half to get to and turn on. I have a Vertiv Liebert 650VA UPS I kinda got in a giveaway like a week or so ago and it hasn't ever been used: (https://www.industech.pk/ups/vertiv/vertiv-liebert-psa-iton-soho-650va-ups) Do you guys think if I plug everything into here, I could get maybe a minute or so (even like 40 or 50 seconds is fine enough) of power to make sure I can close everything safely? That much time is more than enough to even turn my generator on and get the power back. Any help is appreciated (https://pcpartpicker.com/list/FM4bWb)

Hello again everyone. First time builder here and I have been planning for some time. I have updated some specs, by the kind help of the very helpful and knowledgeable members of this very forum (and PCPP and Corsair Forums). To keep stuff short, I have a R7 3700x and 5700XT build... I am a medical student. My tasks are gaming (lots and mostly FPS / competitive games like CSGo, PUBG, Apex, Arma 3, DOOM etc etc, but I also do have my favorite AAA titles like God of War and Control etc, so yes a multiple genre person), watching movies and anime and browsing and normal usage, doing college tasks like making documents and etc etc, and editing videos for YouTube. I recently bought the MSI GF63 Thin 9RCX notebook. It has a 15.6in display that is labelled as IPS-Like Display. My question is: What sort of monitor do I even get? Would a good TN panel be good for me, given I have no prior experience to good displays except my smart TV, my phones and iPhones, and that laptop? OR should I really be going after IPS? Many people SAY 27in 1440p 144Hz is my sweet spot but I wanted to go 24in 1080p 144Hz because I can't find good 1440p monitors in my country at a reasonably taxed price... And I wanna have max FPS at ultra settings at all times in my games. In that regard, I was looking at the cheaper IPS panels like ASUS TUF VG249Q or the VIEWSONIC XG2405.... But then I saw some nicely priced 24in 240Hz 1080p monitors as well.... They are around $100 - $150 above the ones I listed before, but they are quite widely recognized I think? These would be the ASUS XG248Q and Zowie XL2546. I WAS also looking at the ASUS PG248Q if could squeeze just a bit more budget into the monitor. Can you guys gimme some info on these? Are these TN really so bad that coming from the IPS-LIKE display is gonna gimme issues?

Thank you! Query solved!

Sooo..... Which one of each of the following category do you think? M.2 NVMe 500GB (Boot drive): Transcend AddLink S70 XPG Spectrix S40G Samsung 960 EVO SSD (1 TB drive for Games and such): HIKVision E100 ADATA Ultimate SU800 ADATA SU750 Transcend SSD230S Samsung 860 QVO HDD (for everything else): Seagate Barracuda Compute ST2000DM008 2TB

Just to try to clear what you said out, I should get 500GB worth of M.2 as boot and get secondary storage?

So sort of what I was recommended.... Get 2 M.2 to start off with and add SSDs as I go along.... This does make sense to me but my options that way are limited. I may be able to source WD but definitely can't source Crucial here.... Unless by a rare stroke of luck some importers bring it in. If you had to choose from the options on the site or what I hyperlinked, which ones would you prefer? Thank you very much for your help!

Hmm.... Thank you for looking out for me and the suggestion to wait! I am in fact already waiting since I can't get deliveries in my city, we are locked down and have power cut off. Been 4 days already. Anyway, the issue with pricing in my country is also taxes, so I don't think the prices would be any better. Plus, MP510 actually isn't available and getting it requested specially may or may not cost extra... Will have to check! Thank you again for the advice! So you recommend just a single TB of NVMe for everything?
