Hi everyone, I just watched this video about a new AI model called Devin that’s been announced by yet another AI company whose name is Cognition Labs and couldn’t quite believe what I was seeing. I won’t spoil it but all I’ll say is that it’s a giant leap that industry people thought would be several years away and it’s happened within six months. Luke will definitely fall off his chair I’m confident of that. I look forward to watching the CCTV footage of that happening when he watches the below video. Cheers, Mikey Cognition Labs https://www.cognition-labs.com/blog Devin Demo

Ahhh - the position of the PSU changes up things. Never thought of that having a bearing on things.

It just feels wrong adding a twist. It’s the one thing you’re always told - Don’t twist the cable.

Not sure why the images have loaded out of sequence. How I photographed things was from the PSU end, then showing I’ve not twisted them through the grommet and lastly how the connector and the locking tab are on the same side so to install I’d have to put a twist in the cable. Hope that makes sense.

Hi everyone, i am in the middle of rebuilding my system into a 011 Mini from a 5000X and jumping in with both feet, building a custom loop whilst I’m at it after purchasing a 5800X3D for £313 from Amazon on a Pay in Five deal that I couldn’t refuse. i picked up a Silverstone SFXL SX1000 in the process of accumulating parts and when I went to plug in the 24 Pin it’s baffled me. Firstly it has a 20 Pin plus a separate 4 Pin connector at the PSU end, but it’s obvious how the supplied cable plugs into that, it’s the other end that’s of most concern. if you look at the photos you can see that I have the cable flat. I push it through the grommet and keep it in the same orientation, but when I go to plug it into the 24 Pin on my motherboard, the little locking tab is on the wrong side in relegation to each other. This concerns me. In order for me to have the locking tab on the correct side I have to put a twist into the cable, which to me seems wrong. Am I wrong or is the connector backwards? Anybody have any experience with this PSU that can lend advise? I really don’t want to blow up my board or new CPU. Thanks in advance for your help.

Just looked — that’s too big. I’m looking for the smallest case possible

Budget (including currency): up to £200 Country: UK Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: primarily gaming (inc sim racing/flying) also 3D & Design stuff a bit of Ardiuino/Pi stuff Other details already have GPU block (EK) and two 360 BlackIce GTS Rads & fittings. Looking at ITX board either LGA1700 (i7 K SKU) AM4 5900 or wait for AM5 R7/R9 Enquiry: Apart from the O11 Dynamic Mini, are there any other small cases out there that will fit dual 360 Rads? Any other suggestions for dual radiator custom loop cases that I should consider? Thanks in advance for your suggestions

To all those with more knowledge about RGB than myself, Can someone please help me out by identifying the name type for the ARGB header on my GPU - see attached image with circled connector. I thought it was a VDG connector but I’m wrong. It is four pins wide with the third pin missing. The pins are fine like VDG, so a 5V ARGB female connector doesn’t fit — it’s too chunky to fit past the backplate, plus the pins are square not round like the header on a motherboard as well as being finer/slender What I’m looking for is an extension cable so I can cable manage the lead running from the GPU RGB header to the ARGB header on my ASUS Strix motherboard. The cable supplied with my GPU is too short by miles. FYI for those curious — It’s for a PowerColor Red Devil 6800 Thanks in advance for the help.

Currently only Alphacool have announced a waterblock for the Red Devil 6000 series. Here’s the link to their product page: https://www.alphacool.com/shop/grafikkarten-wasserkuehler/amd-fullsize/28506/alphacool-eisblock-aurora-acryl-gpx-a-radeon-rx-6800-xt/6900xt-red-devil-mit-backplate Also added a screen grab from their installation instructions which shows where to add their thermal pads before attaching their backplate. FYI: PDF links to the instructions I’ve screengrabbed are at the foot of the page I supplied the link to above. What I think I’m going to do is run the card stock and record temperatures running some benchmarks, then add thermal pads as per the Alphacool instructions and then take the same readings and report back. Now I’ve gone this far I’m more curious than ever to see if it will make a difference. I’ll report back - give me a couple of weeks to get thing done. I’m currently in the strictest UK Lockdown, so it’ll give me something more constructive to do. Thanks to those who replied.

Didn’t think of that — i.e. check what ekwb suggest when watercooling. Good tip. Thanks.

Thanks for your input. You’re correct, Hardware Unboxed reported that the thermals were very good, but from what I understand they only report the temperatures on the front side of the card’s main points of interest - silicon, VRM & Memory - not anything on the backside - which I’ll freely admit, I’m not entirely sure what I’ve highlighted in the image. I just picked what had a large enough surface area to apply a pad or pads to/across. pin the review Steve makes note of the backplate not being used as a heat spreader, which he and other reviewers have also mentioned in other GPU reviews, both for AMD & Nvidia cards. That’s why I thought to ask. Im just trying to extend the Card’s life due to the haemorrhage my bank suffered at the hands of the retailer & PowerColor’s MSRP.

Not sure on the back plate as the card is still on its way to me, but the Hardware Unboxed review of it shows that it’s a decent thickness of a couple of mm’s made from aluminium. As for the keyboard, I did have one until the Apple supplied batteries leaked a buggered it. Been using a Wired Pro since. Sorry. They’re pretty cheap to buy on eBay ~£40 over here

Hi brainiacs, Last Friday I managed to snag myself a PowerColor RX 6800XT Red Devil Limited Edition (sorry to those still waiting to get your own new GPU - it was a fluke I got mine). I’m also new to the world of DIY PC building as previously I was in the Apple Cult. My question is based on multiple reviews for GPU’s that I’ve watched and read that all highlight the fact that backplates haven’t been utilised as for thermal conductance. Would it be a good idea or completely pointless to grab myself so 1mm thermal pads and stick them to the components on the rear of my Devil’s PCB to utilise the back plate for cooling? - see image of actual PCB from TechPowerUp where I have highlighted where I’d stick the pads. Would it help or be a pointless exercise? Im curious to know what people think? Thanks, Mikey.
