      I really need help
      I'm trying to get my pc to boot
      I've disconnected and reconnected everything like 4 times
      The cpu cooler fan is rgb
      And it turns on the light for a second and nothing else happens
      Is my pc dead?
      Ryzen 5600x
      B450 max 2
      Vengeance ram 2 sticks
      Seasonic 750w semi modular
      1660 zotac
      In a meshify c case
      Any help greatly appreciated thanks

      the only led that lights up is flash bios and it does three flashes then nothing
      And the rgb master cooler fan lights up for a second and then nothing else happens
      Has happened each time I try and start up the rgb does that
      The bios only flashes when I click it
      I'm thinking about taking cmos batter out for 15 minutes
      Redownload the bios reformat ny flash again to fat and unplug everything and bread board connecting stuff again 1 by 1
      But this is super stressful I just want my rig to run
      I have the seasonic 750w gm semi modular so I know it's working
      Hopefully it was protecting something I had incorrectly connected or something like that
      1 by 1 I'll try and see what the issue is
      I'm gonna reseat the cpu reseat the ram and basically do everything again
      Really only can find like 3 and more year old forums to trouble shoot this is really a lot more difficult than the whole build your own crowd makes it seem
      I could've just got a prebuilt and upgraded it but this is really demoralizing having it not work over and over again
      I was excited now I'm bummed put borderline depressed

    Interesting choice of layout they made with this case. This was fun to watch. I know a lot of people are down on tech content but since I don't get to build much now I enjoy the videos more cause at least I can still get to watch some PC building. Hoping prices can come down so that PC gaming doesn't die. Thanks for making this.

    I wonder how the temps of that GPU is with that glass at the top. In previous build I did my 2080 and 3080 got a little to close to glass for comfort and that greatly affected temps. I would imagine you could put your espresso cups on top of this case when it's going at full load and the coffee wouldn't cool down. The card is also basically blocking a large part of the exhaust potential.

    I also built my case upside down, but a step further. It is just for ITX so that the GPU is directly ending at the top panel. I absolutely love it, the only downside is, that it supports only two-slot-cards that are unfortunately getting rare nowadays.

    I run an inverted ATX case from Segotep called the Typhon which I like, but if I had a smaller mobo I definitely would have gone after this. That snap in glass does make me nervous though. I do like that the MOBO i/o is still out the back where most (including mine) is out the top, and then routes out the back.

    Those PSU cables are not sleeved; the insulation on the wires is just black.
    I'm also curious if you left the side panel off when you ran Time Spy. With the orientation of that graphics card, it looks like it may be difficult for it to get all the heat exhausted with the panel on. I'm also wondering if it would be possible to orient the CPU Cooler so that the fins are parallel to the airflow of the case from front to back; it seems like that might help aid cooling as well if it's possible on the Ryzen - I'm guessing probably not. Very cool (looking) case though.
    I love the front intake mesh grill.

    @DjVortex-w 3 роки тому

    One has to wonder if modern GPUs are designed to have the fans facing down or, at the very most, facing sideways (for vertically mounted cards), rather than facing up.
    I'm thinking this because heat raises up, so the fans would be fighting against the raising heat, rather than helping it get out (when the fans are facing down).

    @dennissmith1435 3 роки тому

    I can understand the appeal of these very compact cases, but there seems to be a tendency to try to get as much as possible in as small a case as possible and thermals almost always suffer significantly. Seems like the GPU airflow would be choked off with that top panel with those small vents. Maybe the air coming in the front is enough. I'd like to see the thermals in extended workflow or gaming.
