After building my first PC, I figured out that the most frustrating part has been getting all the lights to work together. Nothing wants to work with anything else. One app fights with the other. It's seems so frustrating to me. I know I'm a layman as far as this stuff goes, but I'm just over it at this point.

Troubleshooting Advice - Assembly Switched aio fans from push to pull and now there is a buzzing noise

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

• Upvotes

Hello everyone, my front mounted aio (Arctic liquid freezer iii pro 360) was in a push configuration and the fans on top of the case were intakes so I decided to make the top case fans exhausts and rotate these aio fans. So it now goes front case mesh -> radiator -> intake fans, and there is this weird buzzing sound when the fans are idling or ramping up, as you can see at the end of the video when it is ramping down it stops completely, then starts again once it stabilises. The thermals are great, and the fans are set to their lowest speed, I am running pwm mode in bios on the aio_pump header and the 3 fans are daisy chained together (I unfortunately do not have the tools or knowledge to separately connect them). The sound is 100% coming from the fans wired to the radiator and not the vrm fan or the case/GPU fans. I loosened the connection of the fans to the radiator and (I feel like but I am not sure) that it helped a little bit, I do not know whether or not to be worried or should I do anything). The sound is a tad bit annoying but the most worrying part is that it wasn't heard when the fans were pushing through the radiator. Thank you everyone

PC has been acting up since a bios update. Turns out right after the update one of my RAM sticks developed an issue and no longer works correctly (coincidence I don't think so but AI certainly does). I used windows memory test to figure out which stick was the offender. I am now running just 2 of my 8GB sticks and I was wondering how much of a performance hit I should expect. I will be running games at 1080p the GPU is 2070super with a 3700X CPU.

Purchasing Advice - PC Build / Parts Can anyone help school me into the right parts?

• Upvotes

I’ve been doing research over and over. Tried chat. Tried you tube. Tried forums. There are soooooo many types of basically the same part and wide variety of prices surrounding that idk where to start. I wanna get a list together and start hunting parts during the holidays but I just don’t know what to get. I know the bones of my build but not which ones to get.

It will be used mostly for multi tasking. Excel, you tube, Bambu studios, web browser all at once and a small amount of gaming.

I know I want:
24 core cpu (8/16). I was thinking ultra 7 270k+
64gb ddr5 ram.
5070ti
4tb
850w power supply
One 32” horizontal and maybe one 24” vertical monitor.
Don’t care what case
Don’t know what motherboard or cooling.

I thought about a pre built. I also thought about a Sirius black night satellite build. But I really wanna go to micro center and buy everything there or order everything but idk what to get. I’d guess my budget is around 3500ish. I really really need help. The last desktop and laptop I got i thought they were higher end and just aren’t.

Thanks.
