Did it work? 😁

Why though? 🙂

Not if you're trying to get your phone plugged in to charge without waking someone up at night. :P

They made a mistake with the configurator options... I don't think they've made the same mistake again since though. Probably because any machine they sent out with this spec would've been returned very quickly... this one escaped because the owner just turned it off when it overheated and was scared to tell their parents.

Glad it helped.

It’s really irritating… I think the installed hangs because they moved the server. So the installer goes looking for files that it can’t find anymore. 🤬 But glad this fixed it.

Glad it helped.

Glad it helped. 🙂

If you check carefully, there’s nothing that actually states the front panel is real wood on any of the Fractal cases… it’s slightly misleading because they also don’t state it’s not, but it’s not actually dishonest. It’s plastic… but it does look pretty convincing.

@sterntechdaddy Right from the product sheet "FSC-certified walnut or oak panels" you got a dud my friend, or the wood maybe just felt like plastic to your touch.

Yup. My bad. Just shows how much I care about wooden features on a PC case. 🤣😂 The front panel overwhelmingly feels like its made of plastic and I didn't really examine the wooden rod bits very closely. All the effort Fractal has made is wasted on me. To be fair, my customer wanted this case as they liked the look of it. And it does look nice. I supposes it's easier the make something that looks like wood by using actual wood rather than trying to fake it by using something else. 😜

Glad it helped. 🙂

I quite like Lian Li instructions... there's a lot of information there. Once I realised that I could just ignore anything that's not relivant the instructions simplify.

Meh. I can't measure the cables as the cooler in the video is for a customer PC - which has now been delivered. So that's triggered me as it would've been nice to have included it! But... I'll try and help... An aRGB extension cable will be cleaner as that will definitely let you run the aRGB cables to the bottom headers from around thew back of the board for any ATX sized motherboard. You might need a splitter anyway if you've got other aRGB cables to plug in and that will act like an extension. For mATX the cables might reach without an extension. If you're not too fussy about visible cables then the aRGB should reach the bottom headers for any size motherboard if you run the cables over the front of the board. What motherboard have you got? I've got a few ideas... 😁

​@@sterntechdaddy The X870 MSI tomahawk, Not built my new PC yet as waiting on my 9800x3d. Don't particularly want any cables over the front, not because of aesthetics, but just because I have had cables before get caught on GPU fans etc. so always want them tucked away if possible. I did find out I have an MSI cable thing next to the 24 pin that allows an ARG header to be plugged into it, so could use that, but was going to plug an RGB 24pin 90 degree adapter in. So would need a splitter anyway if I wanted both in that header.

I've checked the manual... the connector by the ATX power is proprietary... it's meant for MSI accessories and AiO devices and it looks like you need the JAF_2 extension cable. I think thier Aio coolers come with it and it probably isn't included with the motherboard. I wouldn't like to play around with trying to wire things in without it. So I'd get an aRGB extension cable and use the aRGB headers along the bottom of the board. Note that each header is treated as a separate entity by OpenRGB so for micro managing the LED's it might be more fun to get three extension cables and wire things in to get logical areas defined nicely.

@@sterntechdaddy A jaf-2 cable with 3 way splitter comes in the box with a connector for Argb, a fan header and something else that I can't remember. It's just a bit of a pain all the headers come at the bottom, all my previous motherboards have had them a bit more scattered, I will make it work somehow. thanks for your help :) OPn a sidenote I got my phantom spirit evo this morning to replace my old D15, partly based on this review can't wait to actually build it all and give it a whirl. My Noctua has served me wwell for 8 years, but just a tad too big now for my case and I never liked the colours.

It's not a very popular video at the moment so I'm glad it helped. I went looking and couldn't find anything so that's why I made the video. It'll get more views as the batteries in these holders start to empty. 😊

Glad it helped. 🙂

You'll need to compare the cost... but they look to be about the same price for me. The board you buy now will probably need a BIOS update. Both of these boards have a nice little BIOS update button so that should be very easy to do without having to have a compatible CPU fitted before the new one goes in. They both have Wi-Fi and Bluetooth... and as they both use the same chipset everything else will pretty much be the same too. You might get a slow boot while DDR5 RAM retrains - this is fixed by changing one setting an MSI board I used recently... this is probably the same for the Gigabyte one though. They both have 3 x M.2 slots - but the Gigabyte has covers for all three. The MSI leaves one without a heatsink. I just think the Gigabyte looks nicer than the MSI... I'm not keen on the military theme and the armor plate style details don't look great to me. The Gigabyte looks more like a proper motherboard and less Nerf - if you see what I mean. In my experience, teenage boys tend to like the MSI military look - but I'm not a fan of it. It's actually a difficult choice! I'd get the Gigabyte if you're forcing me though. 😊

The M.2 is above the main PCIE GPU slot so theres no PCI slot there - wehich would make life easier. So fitting a Wi-Fi card will only be possible of your GPU is two slot widths or less.

Short answer is yes. If you’re using Lian Li fans connected to a Lian Li controller. 🙂 L-Connect 3 let’s you control the fan speeds and the LEDs. But doesn’t sync other LED devices so if your RAM and motherboard have LEDs on them it’s best to turn off the motherboard sync in L-Connect 3 and use OpenRGB if you want everything to match. L-Connect 3 does let you control the LED regions of the fans individually though. Fan speeds are adjustable and you can set fan curves for fans on each individual port on the controller.

CPU support list is here... www.msi.com/Motherboard/PRO-B650M-P/support#cpu 😊

What RAM are you using? Can you tell us the product code? 🙂

@@sterntechdaddy F5-5600J3636C16GX2-FX5

Looks like its on the QVL... www.msi.com/Motherboard/PRO-B650-P-WIFI/support#mem G.SKILL F5-5600J3636C16GX2-FX5 DDR5 4800 5600 Samsung 1.2 SINGLE 16 √ | √ | Suggests that 5600 is the supported speed too.

Can you rollback them driver? Maybe reinstalling with the original versions and then disabling Windows Update driver updates would solve it.

Hope it helped.

これを見つけて良かったです。お役に立てば幸いです

They did that for this PC… except the dodgy cooler was selectable when it shouldn’t have been. Thankfully PCS haven’t made this mistake again and selection options are more considered to prevent this from happening. 🙂

Glad it helped.

I tend to think not having a rear exhaust looks nicer as the IO shroud LEDs aren’t obstructed so it’s more a visual think rather than cooling. But it’s Definitely something to test… the positive pressure will be linked to fan speed. Maybe speeds can be tweaked to encourage rear air to be drawn in. Which opens up a whole new discussion. I think I’ll get some incense sticks… 😂

Check the back of your screen… there should be a part number on it. 🙂 But I think I searched for the laptop model number plus screen.

It's Lian LI... so no need to worry. :D

I installed Tiny10, all worked. I had to install the Windows 8 audio driver as the BIOS on my system is X205TAW, not the X205TA, so I couldn't use the update for the BIOS. Other than that all good, thanks, useful video!

Have fun! Let us know how you got on. 🙂

I have a pair of Creative Gigaworks T20 Series II speakers. uk.creative.com/p/speakers/gigaworks-t20-series-ii They have a 3.5mm jack to the sound card. Note that these speakers are technically 2.0 as they don't have a separate subwoofer. They do have a tweeter in each cabinet in addition to the main speaker though - as you can see on the link above. They sound brilliant. I actually got fed up with switching outputs between the speakers and headset using software. I bought a Steel Series headset that's also got 3.5mm plugs on it rather than a USB model and it was irritating to have to keep jumping into SBCommand to swap between them - especially seeing as the card clicks each time. 🤣😂 SBCommand also kept selecting 5.1 when switching between them So I use a little NM-STS21 switch. This one... www.amazon.co.uk/STEREO-Manual-Speaker-selector-available/dp/B073GWCRP3?th=1 Now the AE-5 output can be sent to speakers and headphones without using direct mode and without 5.1 jumping in and breaking the sound. It's VERY handy... But it is available from other places. :)

Hope this helped. 🙂

Install just Win11. Even if your CPU and TPM situation means that the installer halts, you can create a USB that skips the checks using Rufus and install it anyway.

See the manual... download.gigabyte.com/FileList/Manual/mb_manual_B650-AORUS-ELITE-AX-V2-ICE_1101_e.pdf Page 23. :)

Probable best not to leave it on auto... but you knew that... 😂

@@sterntechdaddy So should I disable it or just enable it? Sorry I don't really understand what the setting does.

I think it's a power saving setting - so try it with it set as disabled. Check the BIOS version though - make sure you have the latest.

Thanks!

Glad I could help!

Alguns se os ventiladores forem de lâmina reversa... 😜 Você pode ver as caixas para eles às 23:50 🙂

@@sterntechdaddy nice !

See this: ua-cam.com/video/VV7E-Xqq8y0/v-deo.html Os ventiladores de lâmina reversa são brilhantes!

You're welcome!

As far as I can telll... the AX has wifi and a second m.2 shield. Otherwise they are the same.

Well spotted. 😁

I also want either Lian Li Edge or NZXT C1500. I don’t know what to take. The description says Edge. I'm blind ☝☝😉😉

If you have this case, then the Lian Li Edge is probably a better choice.... the 'L' shape makes connecting and adjusting cables easier.

Thanks bro

Thanks!

Debería ser compatible con un 4080. Solo asegúrate de que tu fuente de alimentación y CPU sean compatibles con él.

If it was damaging then you’d probably know… But it’s still strange that it does that.

If Phanteks want to send me one I’ll review it… 😂 Thanks though… 🙂

I use OpenRGB, generally. But really fine tuning what each LED does depends upon who made the ARGB device.
