    Best way to control 6 LL120 in icue without commander pro???

    in Troubleshooting

    Posted

    So i recently got help from a discord server, and i was wondering what the best and most efficient way is to control all 6 LL120 fans.

     

    So im buying the corsair 465X which comes with a normal fan hub (not commander pro) and 3 LL120 fans.

    Im planning to buy the h150i and 3 additional LL120 fans. Im gonna install 3 LL120 fans on the H150i.

     

    But connecting power to motherboard, then i wont be able to control the fan lighting in icue... right?

    So if i get 3 splitter Y-Cables, then i can connect all power cables from LL fans to the aio like that, and then their RGB connectors to the fan hub. Will that make it work so i can control all fans in iCue or is there a more efficient way? (Commander pro is obviously great but its kinda pricy)

    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? 

    I feel you lol, the VAT in Denmark is crazy high. it basically means all our products costs 25% more than the US. (Value Added Tax) since US doesnt have VAT its cheaper there (for the most part)

    Well i would probably say 2tb would be good. If you dont edit videos at 4K then i dont think you would have a problem with 2. You can always upgrade ;)

    Hello everyone!!!

    First time builder here!

    Went through multiple boards in the forum and finally am starting to get a build that I am feeling pretty confident about!

    Here is my build!

    Just a note: I am situated in Pakistan so there's a severe dearth  of options available to me....So I did the best with what I had available!

     

    So, now I am confused about what sort of storage I should go for (I linked options at the end).

    My major usage is gaming, college work and files, storing PDF and videos etc, music, and video editing for YouTube.

     

    I was thinking of first going with a 250GB M.2 NVMe (Samsung SSD 970 EVO PLUS NVME M.2) for windows boot, basic programs (office, icue, GPU program etc etc) and a basic 1TB SSD (TS1TSSD230S) for games, videos & larger PDFs etc and a 500GB SSD (TS480GSSD220S)for other stuff like word files.

    But I was later recommended that I should go for 2 M.2, 250GB for same as above tasks (XPG SPECTRIX S40G or HS-SSD-E2000) and 1 TB for games and such (TS1TMTE110S). And that I can later add 500GB or 1TB SSDs when able to (same 1TB or 500GB SSDs as above). This seems smart too. 

     

    So what should I do? Any and all advice is welcome, please be nice, I am new to this?

     

     

     

    NOTE:

    I have external HDDs that I already use, 1TB and 500GB. I do keep stuff on there for on the go and as backup of important files for college and self.

     

    My M.2 options are all listed here: https://www.industech.pk/solid-state-drive/m-2-ssd

    My 2.5" options are all listed here: https://www.industech.pk/solid-state-drive/2-5-sata-ssd

    so basically i would recommend MP510 1tb. at this time nvme prices and storage in general have SKYROCKETED. if i was you then i would wait untill all this virus is gone. the mp510 goes for around almost 200 dollars at the moment. usually its 120 usd so yeah. but depends on your budget

    is H100i Platinum good enough for 3900x?

    Hello, so i wasnt sure what category this was supposed to be, but since my question was generally the aio, i figured this was fine. ANYHOW

     

    So i have been looking at aio coolers for my 3900x and i know yes.... aios aint the most efficient thing blah blah blah. I dont like the idea of a huge block stuck on my motherboard protentially also blocking the ram. i also wanted rgb exhaust so i figured the h100i is good.. 

     

    But will it cool the 3900x? im planning to render 1080p, 1440p or even 4k videos. Also streaming 1080p on the higher games and also just gaming at 4k or 1440p in general. Since ryzen is known for their "hardly overclocked" cpus, will it be ok or should i start looking at protentially 280mm or 360mm aio? (or even custom watercooling?)
