Motherboard: Gigabyte x99 ultra gaming rev 1.0 "2011-3" ( fa6 bios ) Cpu: HASWELL-E Intel i7- 5820k Ram: G.SKILL TridentZ Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) Memory Model F4-3200C16D-16GTZB SSD: samsung 500gb evo PCU: Cossair RM850x watt Cooler: dual fan Cossair water pump Graphics card: Msi GTX 1070 So 3 months ago i had water damage in my basement, it was near my computer. My computer was on the ground with the carpet soaked. However my computer worked fine 3 months after it happened. Now last week my computer turned on, beeped and than didnt post. Today it completely refuses to stay turned on for more than 8 secs, and it turns off and repeats. I have tried brand new memory sticks and it didn't change anything. Tried clearing he CMOSI don't visibly see any dry water marks inside ( looking through the air holes). I tried unplugging everything and everything works, it just wont work for more than 5 seconds. This computer is only 6 months old, and i built it myself, it worked just fine for all that time till 1 week ago. I looked up the beep codes for my Motherboard and it told me that it was memory failure, and then when the computer started to beep continuously, it surely was memory failure. I think i've also noticed the "Cosair" logo on the water pump is not its brightest. Whenever the computer shuts off on its own, the Logo blinks brighter and than darker. Could it be a bad PSU?

I just bought the Phanteks Enthoo Luxe. I want to use the rear exhaust an intake and maybe add another fan up top 120mm as an intake. I'm using the Corsair Hydro Series H100i v2 water cooler. The build will have a total of 6 fans. 1x200mm in front. 1x140mm Below. 3 x 120mm up top. 1 x 140mm rear. I have 3 extra 120mm fans laying around brand new. Is this a good airflow? Components Motherboard: Asrock z97 extreme4 CPU: I7-4790k GPU: XFX R9 390

So I have a rather expensive computer tricked out with a 6800k and h100i v2 cooler. I was doing general system tasks and I noticed the Cpu was getting quite hot, I checked the cooler and the fans weren't running. After an hour of painful troubleshooting, I uninstalled Corsair link and my problem was fixed, the CPU fan was now controlled through Asus's proprietary motherboard control software that came with my Asus x99a II motherboard. This seemed ok, but when I went to run a game that was CPU intensive (universe sandbox 2) to test it the game stuttered and performed worse than my computer with a 6700k. My main questions are, how do I run Corsair link without interfering with the Asus software, and how do I find the root of the stuttering problem. Thanks, Ethan

My Turtle Beach Stealth 450s have snapped and broke on the adjustable part of the band so i'm looking for a new wireless headset. So far i've narrowed it down to either the razer Man O War, Cosair Void and the Logitech g933. The logitechs are around the max of my budget at £130 thanks

So cosair do 2 PSUs both at 650W, the VS 650w and the RMx 650W. The VS 650 is half the price. For my gaming build with a ryzen 7 and an RTX 2070S do I really need the twice as expensive RMx or can I just use the VS650?

So i normally ghost forums and don't take the time to write much, but this is such a good community it deserved a post. So i haven't messed around with building computers since ATX was a new thing (feeling old) but work, kids and life in general just got in the way. I've gone the easy route and just bought a pre-build one from a decent local computer place. Last fall i realized my monitor was over 10 years old, and thought holy .... this is somewhere i could really get some quality of life improvement. My wife agreed and got me a beautiful curved MSI monitor and that's where the trouble started Getting a ultra wide screen obviously meant my old rig was struggling to keep up (load times were all ready abysmal, TW Warhammer II) so i thought i'd spoil myself with a semi-new processor to help its all along and just put it in my old rig and call it a cheap update, boy was i wrong haha. Started googling a bit around and (this is where LTT got my attention) and found out AMD was kinda rocking now, who would have thought. Landed on a 3700x as it seemed like a cheap easy upgrade, however also learned i should get DDR 4 ram to go with it and that none of it would fit in my old motherboard, Challenge accepted! Got a Tuf x570, 2 sticks of cosair ram and the Rysen 3700x with a stock cooler (hey they give you a free cooler now wtf) This would have been the end of it if not for that bloody cooler, installing it i realized it had bloody lights on it (yeah yeah RGB, i've been out of the loop for a long time) i thought that would be cool to see. Around the same time my new monitor went on black Friday sale, i complained about it and got a gift certificate for the difference. Used that to to buy a Cosair Spec 06 RGB, and a 3 Corsair LL 120mm fan with a lighting node, yes i know i got bitten by the RGB bug. Transferred everything to the new case and thought i was done, but nooo iQUE dosen't play nice with the Ryzen stock cooler + that thing is bloody loude, so got a Cosair hydro 100i platinum to replace it and had to rewire the front of the spec case to play with iQUE. After that it seemed silly to not just finish the build so i threw in a modular power supply, a MSI RTX 2070 super, and a few more RGB strips. So that the build: Case: Spec 06 RGB Motherboard: Tuf x570 CPU: Ryzen 3700x Ram: 2x 8gb Corsair 3200 vengence GPU: MSI RTX2070 Super Hardrive: System is on a NVME, with a few SSD's for games and a HHD for storage. The end goal for the Rig is the same as the previous one: To play Star Citizen if it ever comes out as a full game! Now i started this journey out as a cheap upgrade, but it escalated so i learned a few things along the way. 1 - I'm stuck wishing i had gotten a 3800x CPU as this one seems limited on power draw when i try to overclock it (any suggestions or just leave it, because the boost is so good anyway?) 2 - The Tuf motherboard is good, but definitely not high end. I spend the first few weeks with the board not booting after a restart until i got a new bios update. 3 - RGB is awesome, but dont get dragged to far in. 4 - The MSI 2070 super its really loud when under load and radiates silly amounts of heat sidesways, to the point where the case glass is silly hot. I considered vertically mounting it, but I'm afraid to just choke it instead. Any thoughts? 5 - i only have 2 intake fans, do i need another one to help with point 4, or do i just need to bite the bullet and have an ugly case with the front panel off? (my wife will murder me if a spend more on another case now haha. Thanks for reading through my journey of relearning how to build computers, it was a ton of fun to do but really appreciate all the youtube videos.

I have a question for the above cooler that i have running on my Ryzen 2700x. Acoording to the software that u download called Cosair Link my Package temperature of CPU is between 91*c - 112*c which is impossible as the thermal tripout on the board would have knocked the system out. According to Coretemp CPU temp is between 40*c - 197*c in windows lol. Bios detects CPU temp around 44-47*c. How can i get software such as link in Windows to detect the bios temperature accurately? as it seems to be reading a wrong probe.

Is there some sort of trick to put on the side panels to this case? I just cant get them to seat correctly and slot into place.

So about a week ago half or my ram just stopped working, i tried and tested it myself and determined that one of the sticks had died as task manager was detecting the slot on my board was occupied while only showing 8GB instead of 16GB. I sent of the broken stick to the shop that i brought it from and they have now contacted my saying that i needed to return both sticks. So at this point i have two options either buy new ram or just send mine off. I'm a university student with exams in about 2 weeks that i need my PC to revise for so i cant really afford to have my PC down for however long this takes but at the same time buying new ram when they could just replace mine seems like a waste of money. They also don't sell just 8GB of my 3000mhz lpx ram so these are my options: 1. wait till next week to send off my ram and hope that i get it back soon 2. buy another 16GB of my ram, send my other stick off then sell or keep the set that I get back 3. if i buy another 8GB of ram it would have to be at a different rated speed than mine. so would its base speed be that same as mine and the timing be the same? could i run my original 16GB with the new ram if the speeds are timings are different? any input is appreciated and if you have any other ideas then i'm happy to here them

Hi guys, please i would like if yall can help me choose a good mechanical keyboard that would be good for gaaming, video editing and 3d animation.

Is the Corsair Carbide Series 100R any good for a Starter case,I'm building a mid end pc so cooling isn't much of a problem I have a gtx 950 Q9650 8 gb of ram I'm looking to find some windowed case to show off my rig to my cheap Mac and laptop friends

I've been asking my self does my case have poor airflow? When i checked my temps without the case panels they were 65 Celsius bit with the case doors on they were 72 Celsius. Does my case have poor airflow and do i need to buy another case to resolve this issue? P.s My case has 2 140mm filtered front fans and 1 120mm exhaust fan in the back.

Hello Everyone, I recently have been having issues with my Noctua NH-l9i, where it will not start up with the system sometimes unless a twirl it with my finger a little bit. I am not here though to try and diagnose it or repair it. I am here to ask for a Water Cooler Recommendation for my Intel Core i7-4790K CPU. I would like to do some heavy Overclocking (i.e. 4.5-5Ghz) While of course maintaing reasonable temperatures. I am also getting a new case as my Current Silverstone GD05B doesn't allow for A Radiator to be fit (Hell, the current components barley fit! http://pcpartpicker.com/b/RYr7YJ) The worst part is that I'm on a $100-$150 Budget. Currently I have choose The Corsair Spec-01 for a case, and the Corsair H55 for Cooling. Is this a good combo? Or is the H55's Single 120MM Radiator not large enough? Thanks you all for your help in advanced!

Hey guys so i just got my 760T...everything is super awesome. But i noticed that i have a memory card reader that I want to put in the front of the case (5.25" Bay), but sadly there is not cover for it, the one with the cut out for the card reader. Anyone know where i can buy one? Thanks

I'm going to buy this brand of fans, but for some reason I think I might be missing something. Do I need a fan power adaptor in order to use secondary fans? or do it already come with everything I need? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00F6S0XL2/ref=ox_ya_os_product_refresh_T1

So I got a Corsair H2100 today and plugged it in and waited for the green light like the instructions said. I plugged in the receiver and downloaded the corsair gaming headset software annnnnnddd.. it wont work. All the progress I've been able to make is that the blue light indicating the headset is on and connected is a solid blue for a solid second and slowly flashes when the receiver is not plugged in. When I plug the receiver in it kinda rapidly sputters on for a second with longer time in between. (The headset is completely charged). The only thing I can think is that the drivers for the receiver are the installed correctly if at all because it goes all weird when I plug it in. I cannot find the drivers from Corsair for the receiver. also my little audio icon on my task bar is just x'd out and when I click it, it trys to troubleshoot but fails.

Hi, I'm fourteen and had a great time building this PC and learned alot however it set me back a few $$$. The PC is great, silent, and i've spent alot of time on it. Any tips, trick, ideas, pointers, money...JK, LOL, and just anything to help would be greatly appreciated. The PC took about a week too build and cost around $1,500. I plan to add a SSD, maybe a T-Balancer, and since the new haswell chips are coming out i might just do a complete remodel, change the case, add some lights, get some sleeved cables, stuff like that. I dont find the 550D to be the most quiet case even with the noise damping foam but its quiet considering and sorry the title still says "Up For sale Too" could not for the life of me figure out how to change that, also new to the forums so i probably need to go read the rules.

Hey everybody. I don't use forums much but I would like to show my personal build in the Corsair Air 540 case. I've been using the Zalman Z11 Plus case for a few years now and it is small for my preference. With my terrible cable management I can barely get the side panel on. So these pictures will show me moving my parts over into a new case. Yes I have optical drives installed. Don't ask me why I have two. I burn DVDs for my parents and grandparents from our vacations and trips. They still prefer to watch on DVDs. This is my 5th build. (i think) Spec: Case: Corsair Air 540 CPU: AMD FX-8350 CPU Cooler: Corsair H80i RAM: Corsair Vengeance 1600MHz CL9 Motherboard: Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3 Graphics Card: EVGA GTX 460 (getting out of date but still serves me well) Sound Card: Asus Xonar DG HDD: WD - 1TB Green, 750GB Black SSD: Crucial M4 128GB PSU: Thermaltake Smart 650w Front Fans: Enermax T.B Vergas Duo (Took me forever to find these) (http://www.enermax.com/home.php?fn=eng/product_a1_1_1&lv0=4&lv1=39&no=128) Lighting: Logisys Blue Cold Cathode x 2 Old case. Pretty damn dusty if you ask me New case unboxed Back of Z11 case. Had to move around a lot of cables to get the panel to fit Moved the two front 140mm fans to the top and starting to populate the front with Enermax Vegas Duo 120mm fans Front fully loaded Motherboard transfered with H80i Inside look at the front fans and where the cables go Vengeance ram Front view Hard drives in, cables ready Graphics card in and wired up Tried my best to make the cables look nice Full side view Side of the case and all its glorious space Back of case Power on

Hey guys so im buying a new MSI motherbard soon called the MSI H77MA-G43 Intel H77 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Micro-ATX Motherboardand it has 4 DDR3 RAM slots and says it supports 1066 / 1333 / 1600 / 1866 / 2133 / 2400 / 2677, and I looked for quad cosair 1066 DDR3 RAM as thats what I thought would fit but I dont know, If you can find me some quad cosair DDR3 16GB RAM (x4 4GB Sticks) I would be greatful :D oh and would my i5 Quad Core Sandy Bridge 1155 LGA 32NM 95W CPU fit in to?

Hello LTT I recently noticed that the 8GB (2x4) 1600MHz from Corsair only runs at 1333MHz. When I went in to the BIOS and want to change it, it didn't let me. I have the GA-H87M-D3H mobo and an i5 4440 at 3.1GHz (not overclocked). I made sure that the motherboard and CPU actually support these frequencies and they did. I know it's not that big of a deal between 1333 - 1600 MHz, but I did pay more for it so I'd like it to work. Anyone knows how to change it?

A CHeap Specification for a gaming PC? I can afford to buy a good motherboard, even expensive, looking forward for the maximus hero , but i don't know about power supply etc, is there any with low prices? Because most power supply of cosair are expensive. thank you -
