I'll just buy a 3.1 to usb 2.0 adapter and plug it in USB 2.0 pin on my motherboard. If I want to use 3.1 or 3.0 connections I have enough on my rear I/O.

Hey guys, I finished my build yesterday, everything went smootly except for the 2 USB 3.1 ports on the top of my case. I can't plug the female header from the case to the motherboard. The header on the motherboard is on the bottom (micro-atx board, asus tuf b450m-pro gaming) I have a Corsair 280x case and I put the 2 120 mm fans included with the case on the bottom. The USB 3.1 from the case is too big and either I can't plug it in, either I remove a fan... Anyone knows if their is some kind of adapter I could use?

Hey guys, I'm trying to help a friend find a good monitor under 150$ CAD. Used for playing on a PS4 and use as a second monitor for a macbook pro. I found a BenQ GW2283 for 119$ on NewEgg that seems pretty good. Trying to avoid TN pannels as they don't have the best viewing angles. Sadly I can't find a Acer SB220q anywhere. Thanks

The M version! Thanks for the help. Now waiting another month for the 2070 Super Founders Edition to be back in stock. They sold out in like 5 mins today...

hanks. I guess I'll keep it then. Maybe use a short riser cable if I need clearance for the fans?

Hi guys, so this might seem like a noob question, but I can't find the answer on google (french native so maybe I don't formulate it very good). I bought a Corsair 280x case and with my motherboard (Asus b450 pro gaming) my GPU will fit in the 2nd case bracket. I will likely return it for one that the GPU will fit in the 1st bracket, but how do I know it will? Is there any specs that tells it? Thanks

It as always been like that with AMD. I had a computer with amd gpu in 2010 and some games were really buggy.

Will do. My first build was on the cheap end. I had a FX-6300 CPU (not bad at the time) and 16 gig DDR3 1.8 MHz Ram. I was running a GTX 660 playing mostly Diablo 3. But now D4 is announced and I want to get this sucker up to at least 60 FPS on 2k resolution. I think the 2070 Super will hold up good and I'm also juggling between the CPU a Ryzen 5 3600x (cheaper on amazon canada right now then the 3600? I don't know why) or a Ryzen 7 3700x.

Once again thanks a lot for you time. It's my first build in 5 or 6 years and I really fell in love with the case and everything I chose is around it. The builds I saw all had case in the front. I will be using 6 cases fans. The 2 from the case will be on top and 2 in front and bottom will be Corsair AF140. I'm still on the fence about what 2070 super to buy. The Asus 2070S-08G (https://www.google.com/shopping/product/13741375776433931213?q=2070+super&newwindow=1&rlz=1C1MSNA_enCA701CA701&sxsrf=ALeKk02PkT1Jvc2-z2rMb-63kG_UNKEQVg:1585243168647&biw=1920&bih=969&prds=epd:11914250319342294734,paur:ClkAsKraX0xtOvssbcX-1hLKTEYsI3cNoqSm-eDPefvfPRyJWB3E0Jlfj6suGIxRk05QQOZmU4i_b8qc84eLZmIzPh-FOIji2RP9VlD36QyFX24EuH9OFHnwiRIZAFPVH731aPc21RTUIvrpK8zx2f33Qy_17w,prmr:1&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiBlrqA07joAhVbgXIEHW_NBgcQ8gIIygQ) or the Gigabyte (https://www.newegg.ca/gigabyte-geforce-rtx-2070-super-gv-n207sgamingoc-white-8gd/p/N82E16814932219?item=N82E16814932219&source=region&nm_mc=knc-googleadwordsca-pc&cm_mmc=knc-googleadwordsca-pc-_-pla-_-video+card+-+nvidia-_-N82E16814932219&gclid=Cj0KCQjwpfHzBRCiARIsAHHzyZoG2_OzjwEzXmRoJCPsB2zOn5PCAMT7gYed8Co3-JwDrOwe9xLrAKkaAirQEALw_wcB)

Thanks for the info. I watch a lot of builds inside this case before buying it and saw that pretty much every GPU fit in the case. I went on PCpartPicker and watch tons of builds using this case and It seems to not be an issue a lot. I have about 700$ CAD before taxes budget so pretty much a 2070 Super. I was still holding out on the new generation of NVIDIA before buying and by then I will have also more money aside for maybe a 3070 if it's worth it.

I was thinking air cool only. Thanks for the input tho.

The case fit GPU up to 300mm wide. According to this build a 2080ti fits with 2 140mm fans on the bottom https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/b/pPLJ7P

Hi everyone, i'm currently building my new gaming PC on the Corsair Crystal 280x Case. I was aiming for a 2070 Super card or a rx5700xt (although I might just wait for the new 30 series reveal by NVIDIA), but I was wondering considering the ''smaller'' case. Should I go with a blower fan or no? Thanks

Do you know if I should get a CPU cooler? I've read online the stock cooler for the Ryzen series is pretty good. If I should get one, I would probably get another Noctua, love those.

I have another question if you can answer, will I be able to update the bios of this motherboard without having a 2nd gen CPU for this board?

I already have the Storage from my old PC and not thinking about adding some now. The case is going to be the Corsair 280x. I have the luxury now to make the build I want without cutting corners on stuff like that. But thanks for the list and the help with the motherboard. I already bought the Ram this morning on NewEgg went for the Corsair DDR4 3600 RGB Pro 16 gb for 129$ down from 149$.

Sorry about that. I was thinking a 2060 Super or RX5700

Yeah I forgot to tell the purpose is gaming (mostly Diablo 4 when it will come out, Overwatch and Wolcen) and I will try and learn some Unreal Engine stuff on top of it on my off time, I don't plan on overclocking it. It's not really my thing.

Hey guys fellow Canadian here (Québec), I'm selling my current build to someone at work and I want to build a new one around the Corsair 280x RGB case. I think I will go for a Ryzen 2700x CPU but I was wondering what would be a good motherboard with 2 M.2 slots on it for this build. I'm don't know much about motherboards and plan to spend around 150$ for it and I'm willing to wait for it to be in sale. Is the B450 a good chipset? Or should I get some more dough and go with a X570? Edit 1 : I don't plan on overclocking it and will use it mostly for Diablo 4 when it comes out, Overwatch and Wolcen for the moment. I will also try and learn some Unreal Engine stuff and some video editing and audio editing for a podcast I want to do. Thanks!

Hey guys, so I'm trying to help my wife with some Python programmation. I've messed around C++ and labview in the past so might as well try and figure things out in Python to help her. Here is the problem. She is calculating variables and showing them in a graph in a new window and taking those variables and put the results in a .txt file. But if in the command to open a new window with the graphs comes first in the program. The graphs will show and the .txt file will be empty. And if the the new window with the graphs comes second. The graphs will be empty and the .txt file will be full. So how come it works for one and not the other? Seems like it clears the data once it reads it? I know it's vague but i'm trying my best. Thanks guys.
