I’ve heard of 12v ones.  They tended to be older.  They used to generally replace a 5.25” bay.  Also I don’t recall temperature sensing. It was just a speed knob.  Did a google search for  “external fan controller with temperature sensing” and found some stuff.  Top hit is  cooler guys thermal fan controller (rev 4) it’s got it’s own thermal probe.  Runs off molex.  Would that work?  It would need 12Vdc fans.

i was thinking of something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Thermaltake-Commander-Channel-Controller-AC-010-B51NAN-A1/dp/B00V80IQTS/ref=psdc_11036291_t1_B003F7B3VU

just seems like a lot of them either down have pwm or just are not built very well. Most run off of molex connectors so ill have to custom build something to power it to step down from 120v

Looking for suggestions on a standalone fan controller that will do PWM and temp, i have 120mm fans in a server rack that are loud and run on 120v. Want to add a controller for some cpu fans that will just run and ramp up on their own when temps get high. It would also be nice if it had a digital readout. Seems like these are harder to find now since mostly every cpu has this built in.

Does anyone know if they still make these? Its hard to find in stock and it looks like it was released early 2019. Anyone running the Ryzen 5 3400g no issues?

update bios first if possible, on my 570x i had to disable wifi adapter, otherwise windows would not complete the install

Solved the Wifi Controller issue on TUF 570X Gaming Plus Wifi motherboard

After flashing bios with newest firmware via usb. Disable wifi controller - finish install of windows, or if windows is installed, keep it disabled until you can download the drivers directly from ASUS for the wifi controller.

DL -> update -> turn back on wifi controller in bios and your good.

I have similar issues and TUF gaming support was of no use, Spent hours with Microsoft and determined that wasn't the issue. 

 

My main issue: I cannot update any drivers using driver download applications.  All drivers require a manual download, update and reboot from bios to take effect.

System will not boot on its own.

I was able to update Bios.

 

System Specs:

 

Ryzen 7 3800X 4.20 GHz

32 GB Ram

Win 10 64Bit

Geforce RTX 2070Super

MoBo Tuf Gaming X570 Plus-WiFi 

did you try disabling the wifi controller in bios?

I’m having the same issue. I updateD the bios to the newest version before installing windows. Kept getting the blue screen after the initial install/ reboot. Read that WiFi controller disabled solved the issue and it did. Now even after all the updates with windows and other drivers, I still can’t enable WiFi controller. 
 

Also my 3200 8x2gb ram in bios reads as 2333, can’t seem to solve that either

You ordered extension cables. Extension cables plug in to the end of your existing cables. You cannot plug extension cables directly in to the power supply.

Plug the cables that came with the power supply in to the unit and then attach the extension cables to the end of those cables then plug it in to the components.

ah crap total Newb error, well that will be making a mess behind my case, is there a better way of doing it?

Also im still unsure about the 24 pin since the cable supplied by corsair splits off on the PSU end into two plugs, and then on the mobo side the 24 pins has 1 pin missing out of the 24, where as my cable extensions 24 pin has all the pins in it on both ends. Would that cause a problem?

Just want it to be nice and neat for once

Can someone help me with selecting the correct sleeved cables with the PSU I have?

These are the cables I ordered: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07Z4JT36Q/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I have the Corsiar RM650: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07RFZPN8G/ref=twister_B07V6HH4PQ?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Im also using a ASUS TUF 570x Plus mobo and Fractal Meshify C case

The 24pin sleeved cable connector wont work with the PSU, the PSU has two separate slots (as does the stock cable that comes with it)

Also i noticed the cables wont lock into the PSU since they are setup differently. Can someone school me on what I need?

Can anyone tell me what cooling fans to get for the case? I know the cpu and gpu have fans but i dont think the case does

Looking for the "relative" best mobo for the 570x am4 mobo $200 and under? I had the Asus TUF Plus picked out but it keeps going out of stock, what other board would be next best?

So the Asus TUF mobo keeps going out of stock. Is there anything thats just as good i should be looking at (sub $200)?

Bear with me since I’m not well versed....if I wanted to go with a b450 mobo so save $$, what would you all recommend?. Im thinking I won’t need pci 4.0, two m.2’s or 2-10gbit usb that a 570 offers. But I’d rather have a more name brand m.2 ssd
 

I do however want to have flashback on the b450 to be able to easily update bios for the 3900X ryzen (I think that’s possible) without having to buy a separate chip/loaner to update bios. 
 

would this be beneficial over just getting a 570 mobo?

everything looks good. enjoy!

? is that the best mobo in the 200 and under category?

This is what I have as of now, can anyone comment on how quiet the PSU is? Also do i have the correct video card/ram/mobo/m.2 combo for the chip?

I'dd add a cooler such as

be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 4

or

Noctua NH-D15

I like the case, thank you. Is a cooler absolutely necessary? after reading up the the amd prism, it seems it cools rather well: https://www.techspot.com/review/1875-ryzen-3900x-wraith-prism-rgb-vs-liquid-cooler/

Appprecaited. I’m not sold on the case or anything it was just a quick pick. Any recommendations. I’m thinking of staying with the 3900x

ok changes a few things up, i think i want to go down on the gpu and up on the cpu - can someone show me the best picks with this setup?

Awesome. That 550w psu won’t be maxed out? Is that brand any good?

Faster mem and cheaper SSD

Between the stock cooler and that one keep the stock

Case is an oven, you can get something better with that budget

850W is overkill unless you're planning to do SLI which is not worth, go for 650W

Can you point me towards better ram? 

Looking for some help with a build. I not up to date on whats best, ive heard good things about amd's new chips but in the past ive only used intel. Looking to keep this around 1500 or under. Not a heavy gamer but would like to play some COD or Battlefield, i also would like to use for a flight sim as well. Can someone point me towards the best bang for the buck with a $1500 budget? It doesnt have to be flashy but i do like a nice clean build.

this is what ive play around with so far: should not i have some backup storage options already avail to me (2tb 3.5in, two 500gb ssd, several 1tb drives) still want a m2 for the new build for quick boots
