  1. so ignore the display port slot on the back of my pc case where io shield is?
  2. Hello, i'm a computer newbie and i just built a new pc for the first time. I downloaded windows 10 and my monitor screen keeps flickering. Also, when i try to open nvidia control panel, there's an error message saying "you are not currently using a display attached to nvidia gpu". My gpu is connected properly to power supply i double checked. this might be really dumb question but Do i need to put display port to gpu and the monitor? i of course put display port from my monitor to the back of my pc (motherboard) instead. Im so confused.. my screen won't stop flickering (set at 144hz display setting, with 144hz monitor LG gl850)
  3. I just installed windows and my monitor screen keeps flickering. I went to display settings and changed the advanced setting to 144hz cuz my monitor Lg GL850 is 144hz monitor. However, set at 144hz, screen keeps flickering. I changed the display setting to 120hz instead, and flickering stops. Why is this happening? I thought display setting at 144hz is a normal thing to set up since my monitor is also 144hz. Do i need to download some drivers to stop monitor flickering? im confused
  4. I just build a new pc and I am doing the BIOS setting right now. I have 3200mhz RAM but it's showing as 2133mhz so I enabled XMP according to the instructions on forum. Under "XMP" it says 'Enabled' and also 'XMP DDR4-3200' which i assume ram is now changed from default 2133mhz to 3200mhz. However, the above section called "DRAM Status", it still shows as 'Corsair 16384MB 2133MHZ' for each of my 2 16GB RAM sticks. I attached the photo. Do i just ignore the "DRAM Status" RAM mhz numbers? Is my ram changed to 3200mhz or not yet? Thanks in advanced!
  5. I enabled 'XMP' and it automatically set my RAM to 3200, showing it as 'XMP DDR4-3200' unless i'm understanding this number wrong. I saved and restarted pc. It shows 'XMP DDR4-3200' as i saved it so i thought it worked well, but in the photo i attached above, under 'DRAM Status' my two ram sticks show as 2133MHz is this normal? One part is showing "xmp ddr4-3200" which i assume changing the ram mhz worked, but the other part "DRAM Status" still shows as 2133. two different numbers i have right now
  6. if i try another monitor but still gets the same flickering result, is it mostly likely due to my graphics card? if the other monitor is also flickering, do you think it's worth setting up windows and set the display setting to something like 144hz (same as my monitor 144hz) ? I was so excited after building this pc but didn't expect to have this problem
  7. yea my ram is 3200mhz. i am very confused with the BIOS page right now cuz under 'XMP' tab in EzMode screen, it says 'enabled - XMP DDR4-3200' which sounds correct. However, the above section 'DRAM Status' keeps showing it as 2133MHz for each ram stick i have. I attached the photos. i don't know which one i should follow.
  8. i9 9900k cpu. Asus rog maximus xi hero. I installed 2 sticks of RAM in the second and fourth slot. (counting from the left near the cpu). Did i install it wrong? i followed the youtube video and have no idea.
  9. I just built a new pc and i am setting BIOS right now, and I see the screen flickering very fast. Im not sure if this problem is from the monitor or graphics card or maybe its cuz i haven't set the display setting to proper hz? my monitor is 144hz and bios page keeps flickering any ideas? pls help
  10. i did. its still showing it as 2133mhz on the ezmode page
  11. Hello, I just build a new PC for the first time and I am struggling with BIOS settings. I noticed default RAM is 2133MHz no matter what MHz RAM i installed on the mobo. ( i have 32gb 3200mhz RAM (16gb x2) ) I followed some instructions found online and went to Advanced Mode - Extreme Tweaker - Ai Overclock Tuner - it was auto and I changed it to XMP1. Then there was XMP tab right under the Ai overclock Tuner tab, and it's showing XMP DDR4- 3200 just like in the first photo that i attached. I thought it was all set and good to go. However, when i go to EzMode and check again, under DRAM Status, it still shows my 2 ram sticks are both 2133 MHz instead of 3200MHz. under DRAM Status, XMP shows that it's 'Enabled' tho. I am very confused with all these BIOS settings and I need some help from experts! Thanks in advance!
  12. Hello! I'm currently building a gaming PC for the first time and I'm stuck with connecting cables from PSU. I have 2 Corsair RGB Hubs and 1 Lighting Node Pro installed on my case, so I have total of 3 Sata powers that need to be connected to SATA power cable. Can I use 1 SATA power cable from PSU box to connect all those 3 Sata powers from RGB hubs and Lighting Node pro hub? Since this single SATA power cable has exactly 3 spots to connect. I'm confused cuz this single SATA power cable only has one end to put it into the PSU socket. It doesn't need the other end to install it somewhere on the motherboard? I attached the photos of them. Thank you in advance!
  13. I am finally starting to understand things about all this and I don't know how to thank you more! I'll order those fan splitters and make sure i do the cable management carefully. I will ask your help if you have time when I struggle again with those additional components! Thank you!!
  14. wow although I'm a newbie in pc building but this helps me understand so much better. thank you so much for your time and effort!! I guess i'll go with 8 fans so I'll buy 4 fan splitters like this model right here? https://www.amazon.com/JBtek-Black-Sleeved-Splitter-Converter/dp/B01EF9OI0O/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=fan+splitter&qid=1582722277&sr=8-3 this product is already 2 pack so i guess i can buy 2 of these to make it total 4 fan splitters. for my corsair fans. For noctua, i'm only using 1 fan instead of 2, and i already installed in the cpu fan slot. i guess i'm good with noctua fan installation?
  15. Yes. If i'm going to go with 6 fans total, I would use my 2 packs of LL 120 3 pack (total 6fans, replacing pre installed case fan). If i were to go with 8 fans total (adding 2 more fans at the bottom of the case), I was going to use 2 of the 3 pre installed case fan at the bottom. Honestly, I think it'll be enough with 6 fans and 8fans it would make things more complicated but idk tbh.. maybe i should have bought prebuild one Noctua fan I'm only using 1 fan in the middle cuz of the ram clearance, and i already installed the cable on the motherboard at the cpu cooler spot.
  16. my fan is Corsair LL Series LL120 RGB 120mm Dual Light Loop RGB LED PWM Fan 3 Fan Pack with Lighting Node Pro controllers I'm not so sure about this. maybe i need to buy one. I only got total of 2 rgb hubs from each fan(x3) package and 1 rgb hub and 1 LED hub pre installed in the case since this corsair 680x case already had corsair fans. I already switched pre installed fans to the ones that i bought tho. if that matters. Motherboard: asus rog maximus xi hero Thank you so much for your help!
  17. maybe I should buy a thing called Commander Pro? to have all 6 rgb fans working. I only have 1 rgb hub and 1 small LED hub installed in the back of my case
  18. It just says Corsair RGB HUB with number 1 through 6. This was included in the package (corsair LL 120mm fans) that i bought. I have noctua nh d15 chromax.black cooler. I'm not fully understanding how rgb fans work. I thought i would need to plug all of the 6 or 8 fan cables to rgb hub first instead of putting some of them on the motherboard in order to be able to control and set colors.
  19. I have asus rog maxmius xi hero motherboard and all of my fans are Corsair LL 120mm rgb fans. I'm still confused about the rgb hub which has 6 cable slots which I guess is perfect? for 6 fans but what if I go with 8 fans? Don't I have to connect fan cables to rgb hub in the back to have rgb/led controls
  20. Thanks for the reply! I barely have any videos, photos, or games to store so i guess i'll be fine with just 1tb m.2 for now then !
  21. Hello, I am trying to put total of 6 to 8 air cooling fans (3 front, 1 rear, 2 top, and maybe 2 bottom) in my case, and I'm having a hard time figuring out how to connect all of these fan cables to the motherboard. There's a RGB hub and LED hub in the back of the case and i can only insert 6 cables to the RGB hub as well. Do I need to put another RGB hub? I have extra 2 hub. Also, do I need to buy a fan splitter to install all 6 to 8 cables on the motherboard? Thank you in advance!
  22. Hi, thanks for the reply and 1 more quick question: I'm not a heavy gamer and I don't have much to download/store either, so is it fine to just go with 1tb nvme m.2 storage alone?
  23. Hello, I'm building a gaming PC for the first time and I'm currently having a hard time figuring out all the cables to plug in to the right position. I already installed NVME m.2 1TB on the motherboard which did not need any cable. I have a question about the extra cables for SATA(?) and other SSD that were included in my package. (like a L shaped cables i guess) I'll be using NVME m.2 only for the storage, so does that mean I can simply ignore those extra cables for other drives? or do I still need to plug them in to the motherboard even if i'm not using those? These questions might sound really dumb, but I have like 0 knowledge in PC building and I would appreciate if you could help me with this. Thanks in advance!

  25. Hello, I do not have much knowledge in this field, and I'm trying to build my own gaming/streaming PC for the first time. My budget is around $2000-$2400, not including a monitor or a keyboard. I have chosen about half of the components needed to build my PC and I'd like to see some feedback / suggestions. CPU: Intel Core i9 9900k Motherboard: Asus rog maximus xi hero GPU: Rtx 2070 Super (maybe upgrade to 2080 super) RAM: Corsair vengeance lpx 32GB(2x16GB) 3200MHz (maybe Corsair vengeance RGB Pro 32GB) CPU Cooling: Noctua Nh-D15 chromax.black (I prefer this huge air cooler to other liquid coolers) Storage: TBD Power supply: TBD I also have a few questions / concerns about this build: 1. is my overall build balanced? any component to upgrade to pair well with my CPU and GPU? 2. Will my huge Noctua nh-d15 cooler fit with my Corsair RAM? The reason i'm trying to buy LPX instead of RGB Pro is to have smaller size RAM to have enough space between the cooler and RAM. 3. Any suggestions for the amount of ssd/hdd (which one to use or to mix it) and a power supply (amount of W)? Thanks in advance!
