I think I figured it out. I think the pump cable which attaches to the header is broken. So basically, when I just tested this I had the pump connected to CPU_FAN 1 and the fans to AIO_PUMP 1 (which is wrong way around, but hear me out.) In this configuration, I went into the BIOS to the fan settings and saw this: CPU: 0 RPM PUMP: 800 (or something) RPM But I then switched the cables around, so pump to AIO_PUMP 1 and the fans to CPU_FAN 1, I then saw this: CPU: 800 (or something) RPM PUMP: 0 RPM So i think the pump cable is broken. This also explains why the radiator fans work, and the RGB doesn't. Also the radiator is mounted on the front of the case in a push-intake config. How do I see if there are any air bubbles in the pump?

So basically, today I upgraded my PC from the Ryzen 5 3600 to the Ryzen 9 5900X, the stock cooler to the NZXT Kraken X63 and the case from a NZXT S340 Elite to the Lian Li Lancool II Mesh RGB. My other specs are: MoBo: MSI MPG X570 Gaming Edge WiFi GPU: MSI GeForce RTX 2080 Super SSD's: 2x Samsung 860 EVO PSU: Corsair RM750x Well, when starting the PC the BIOS instantly gives me a CPU Overheating alert. I go into the BIOS, see the CPU rise to 88C on which it instantly shuts down. The RGB on the pump and the fans also didn't work. First I checked if all the cables were attached properly, and apart from the USB-cable to the pump which wasn't properly inserted into the MoBo, I reinserted it, and restarted my PC. First thing I noticed was that the RGB worked, but also that the fans were running a little quieter. However, the CPU still instantly overheated. Then I took off the pump from the CPU to see if it even made contact. After looking at the thermal paste, which was spread evenly across both surfaces, I reattached the pump to the CPU and also reattached the cables leading into the pump and restarted again. (I'm guessing I also have to replace thermal paste now as well, right?) But, the RGB suddenly didn't work anymore. And the fans were again somewhat louder, so at this point I was at a loss for words. I also touched the pump to see if I could feel it work or blow or whatever it does, and it did seem to be moving. So honestly I have no clue, right now. I'll also add that the radiator fans do work and that the ambient temperature in my apartment is 34C, as it is a hot summers day where I live. What should I do next? So to reiterate, the CPU and cooler are both brand new. Thanks for the help

Hey guys, So I recently started streaming on my YouTube-channel. And one thing I seem to notice is that the FPS on OBS, but especially on the stream itself sometimes just tanks, while in-game FPS is running decent. So here my specs: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 (Stock speeds) Stock CPU Cooler 4x8GB Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR4 @ 3000MHz (XMP Enabled) MSI NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Super Gaming X Trio (Stock speeds) 2x SATA SSD (1x Samsung 840 EVO 250GB (Boot Drive and where OBS is installed), 1x Samsung 850 EVO 500GB (where games are installed)) Corsair RM750x Modular PSU Here are my stream settings in OBS (I stream to YouTube btw): Base (Canvas) Resolution: 2560x1440 Output (Scaled) Resolution: 1920x1080 Downscale Filter: Lanczos (Sharpened scaling, 36 samples) FPS: 60 Encoder: NVIDIA NVENC H.264 (new) Rate Control: CBR Bitrate: 9000 Kbps (My upload speed is 25000 Kbps) Keyframe Interval: 2 Preset: Quality Profile: high Max B-frames: 2 (I used the YouTube recommended livestream settings on their blog to set everything up) I use a static webcam overlay, a dynamic donation-ticker and ofcourse alerts. Now, here's a link to the first livestream I've ever done: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PCZq7mEm0EM&ab_channel=Giodinho (Note: In this livestream I had XMP disabled, as I didn't notice it was turned off, so RAM was only running at 2133MHz) So, I thought I just needed to upgrade my CPU, but when watching videos of the same processor running well while streaming, my thought quickly changed to my CPU just not running properly. Especially considering UserBenchmark tells me that the CPU is running way below what it is supposed to, although it did increase while enabling XMP. I'm kinda stuck at this point. Considering I encode with NVENC, and my fps in-game only slightly drops while streaming, compared to not. What seems to be the issue? Thanks for helping :)

That's the thing tho, I can't click the 'Configure'-button on the optical output, for the test tones

Well, I can tell you that I installed a fake Realtek driver which includes a patch that has Dolby Digital Live and DTS-something force-installed, and everything seems to be working now.. Although I still can't tell whether it's actual surround or not ?

I searched up videos or setup guides about this soundbar to PC, even for higher-end soundbars in the series, but everyone I found (which is like 2) said: plug it in and it should work fine + that's only with just the soundbar, not the rear speakers

I now even tried changing the EDID of my TV as it only shows 2 channels. After changing it and installing the fake driver of my TV, it did show up having 6 channels, and it had 5.1 support, however the alignment was completely wrong. Front left and right would go to my rear speakers, and all the other speakers wouldn't play at all..

Hey guys, So I recently bought the Samsung HW-Q60R with the SWA-9000S rear surround speakers, so I could play 5.1 (or even 7.1 with the soundbar technology) games and movies. I've connected the soundbar to my TV via HDMI ARC, and movies over USB worked perfectly, the same with Netflix, Amazon Prime and also the PS4 Pro. However, I can't seem to get surround sound from my PC. A quick summary of the hardware I have (which seem important): Soundbar: Samsung HW-Q60R with SWA-9000S TV: LG OLED 55B8PLA Graphics Card: MSI Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Super Gaming X Trio Motherboard: MSI MPG X570 Gaming Edge WiFi CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 Cables: Optical: The one that came with the soundbar HDMI: 2 HDMI-cables which both support Dolby Vision/Dolby Atmos/DTS:X/4k. They're high quality XD At first I connected everything like this: GPU -> HDMI-cable -> TV -> HDMI (ARC)-cable -> Soundbar This setup did give me sound, however only in 2.1 Stereo. When I tried some Dolby Access-testvideos I noticed that Front-Left was played over both the Front and Rear-left speakers, and the same with the right side. Only Center would play through the soundbar. But there was no surround. And also the Windows Sound-settings wouldn't give me the option to go to 5.1 or 7.1. It only gave me the option to do 'Dolby Atmos for Home Theater', which really didn't do anything. Then I tried another setup: Motherboard -> Optical cable -> Soundbar GPU -> HDMI-cable -> TV I had to detach the HDMI ARC-cable, otherwise when I selected the 'D-IN'-input on my soundbar, it would play HDMI ARC instead of the Optical, which is a stupid design choice, as in this case, if 5.1 worked, I would've had to detach the HDMI-cable every single time I wanted to play PC games. For this, at first I had sound. Windows showed the connection as "Realtek Digital Output (Realtek Audio)". What I did first is install new drivers, as I hadn't updated them since August. However, my sound stopped working as soon as the new drivers were installed. The only other thing what changed is that the name of the output changed from "Realtek Digital Output (Realtek Audio)" to "Optical Output (S/PDIF)(Realtek Audio). As soon as I rolled back the drivers, the sound started working again, and the name of the output changed back. In both cases, however, it still only showed 2.0 Stereo (not even 2.1, even though the subwoofer did work). I also wasn't able to use the 'Configure'-option in the Windows Sound-settings. The next thing I tried was: GPU -> HDMI-cable -> Soundbar -> HDMI (ARC)-cable -> TV This one was the worst thus far. Not only did sound not work whatsoever, I also wasn't able to do 4k@60Hz with HDR. If I turned HDR on, it suddenly went down to 45Hz, and when I forced 60Hz with HDR, I got a black screen. Which is weird, because the soundbar does support 4k Dolby Vision passthrough. I didn't really try anything else. I just want to be able to play 5.1 Surround sound with my PC. Sorry for this massive text, but I wanted to be as clear and thorough as possible.
