Thought so. Thanks!

Seems to be differing opinions on this. Mobo is Asus Rog Strix X670E-E gaming. I have 3 m.2 slots I wont be using so wonder if I need to remove the peel prior to use.

Thanks for the clarification! I have to move the rad around to fit the 140mm rear fan in there anyway. I wouldnt have thought that would get in the way.

I am mounting the rad on top with the hoses dropping down from the front of the case. I tried to have the rad in reverse but its too close to the rear fan. So basically, "Mounting it with the hoses exiting the bottom of the pump/block module" is the bottom of the CPU/6 oclock, correct?

Hi guys, Im installing an AIO on an AM5 7950x. I noticed a lot of youtubers are installing with the hoses towards the ram side (right side of the CPU) instead of below the CPU (or bottom). This is even in vendor install videos. Anyone know why? I always mounted the hoses at 6 o'clock but the...

Im getting such mixed replies. Some are saying if I use the PCIe side on the top row I'll fry it. I imagine I can just use the left side (one from the top called CPU and one from the bottom labeled CPU). Unfortunately MSI isnt really detailed.

Quick question. I am finally installing my ASUS ROG Strix X670E-E Gaming. The top of the MOBO has 2 4+4 connectors. I have a MSI ATX 3.0 PSU. The PSU has 2 sections called CPU & PCI-E. I'm not sure if I can just use the top CPU & PCI-E row or I have to use the CPU on the top and bottom. (the...

Shopping for these boards is puzzling. Especially when looking at $500 boards that removed most of the audio jacks. I have some general questions. I have my current 2.1 setup going to my SPDIF port. It was always my understanding that this was a better connection than 3.5. It was also better to...

Right, plus the Asrock is a little simpler. The Asus says it has has 3 Gen5 m.2 slots. The manual says to use any of those slots. Does that mean they all run to the CPU or do they share lanes? There is a 4th Gen4 m.2, I am assuming that goes to the chipset sharing bandwidth with the sata...

That makes sense but when trying to pick between two MBs, the PCIe lanes can be very different. I am trying to compare the Asrock Taichi x670E with the ASUS ROG Strix X670E-E. The allocation looks a bit different. Trying to make a 1:1 compare for me is challenging. For example, the Taichi has...

This might be obvious to everyone else. I have a basic understanding of PCIe lanes and how they are shared. My objective is to buy a x670E mobo that will allow me one gen5 upgrade cycle of the m.2 and GPU (I know that doesnt exist yet) Reading the Asrock Taichi review here...

Tomorrow I will be taking off the Water cooler so I will check it but honestly, I get no leds on the MB when the power is flipped on the back of the PSU. Even if they CPU was toast I would think those would be lit and just maybe not boot. IDK, I could be wrong. I never OC'd it or anything...
