Ok, gotcha. My fans are 4 pin 12 V and the LEDS on the fan are 5V which plugs into a 4 pin slot but there are only 3 pins. It looks like I can daisy chain them together too. Looks like I need a controller. However, i also want to add a few LED Strips, which would go directly into the mobo 12 V...

Hello, I've recently rebuilt my pc and decided to get a 3 pack of Fractal Design Prisma AL-14 LED PWM fans. The mobo is a ASUS ROG STRIX B450-F GAMING. Originally I thought I could connect the fans to the RGB HEADER(S) and control them all using AURARA sync BUT I've since learned that...

Ok, thanks. So, if I get some 16gigger sticks of Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 3200MHz, It means that the 3200 is not guaranteed but I might get close to that speed??? Also, what does the PC4-25600 mean?

Hi, am doing a build and I saw the mobo specs say for the RAM .... 2400 MHz, 2133 MHz, 2666 MHz, 2800 MHz (O.C.), 3000 MHz (O.C.), 3200 MHz (O.C.) Does this mean I can only buy upto 2666 MHz? Or does it mean I can buy 3200 MHz but only if my CPU is over clocked? Sorry but I don't get how to...

Thanks for the advice! The NvMe is a but new to me, will need to read a but byt sounds good. Did u use 32gig ram? Which mobo did u use?

Thank you so much for that fast and complete reply, much appreciated!! Looks like it will be a, 2700x ROG Strix 32 gigs for me. Just in time for black Friday :) Or will there be better 'computer' deals on cyber Monday???

Hi, it's been 15 years since I've built my last computer so after a bit of reading I'm looking at the following HW for mostly photo / video editing and the occasional gaming sessions (CoD, CS GO and minecraft). AMD Ryzen 7 2700x. Do I really need the 'x' or is the 2700 ok? ASUS ROG STRIX or...

so i tried it again today. got to 'creating a restore point' and then 'preparing installation' which the progress reached about 15% by this time and then BANG! code 80070490 google says there is a corrupt file and i need to repair windows and then run setup again. is there another way around...

^^^ nope, it was defintely a win10 upgrade. "upgrade to windows 10 is free for a limited time".

it was downloaded for me by that little icon in the bottom right. then win7 reminded me it was time to install. i don't have a cd/dvd in my PC.

I've downloaded the latest win10 and when it went to install, it didn't work for whatever reason. so when i tried again, it went to DOWNLOAD EVERYTHING AGAIN!! i'm on limited internet and using win7 ultimate. can the install just not start from the previously downloaded win10? i found the...

ran that and 'no problems found'. saw that the gtx 260 only supported upto directX 10 so thats probably the main cause. just bought a msi gtx 970 so that should solve any issues....hopefully!

Hey, I have a fairly old computer but the main thing stopping me from playing the latest games is the latest directX version support. Tried to install Advanced Warfare but kept getting directX failures. I'm wondering if only upgrading my video card to a GTX 970 will create any major issues? And...

have started working at a software company and we just began using a 'build server' and i'm trying to learn more about build servers in general but every time i search for 'build server' or 'how to make a build server', results such as 'building your own server' come up. can anyone point me...

its in my sig :)

any idea what an idle computer would consume in power? the only program running on it would be utorrent and it would need to access only one HDD i have. my power supply is 650 watts.

am looking at getting a NAS but have some questions (maybe a NAS is not what i need, not sure). i'm running win7 64 ultimate and use a western digital tv live to play my media currently stored on my computer. i'd like to do two things a) use the NAS to access / play / backup my media files...

why not just say google?
